The Bills had choice # 10 in the 2017 draft, but opted to trade it with the Chiefs in exchange for choice # 27, a choice from the third round and a choice from 2018 from the first round.
Patrick Mahomes became the tenth choice and negotiating a choice that turned into a player who won MVP and Super Bowl MVP would normally be seen as a bad time for an NFL team. The role of the Bills in this business did not lead to much contempt, however, and what they did with the choices has something to do with it.
They took cornerback Tre’Davious White with the 27th overall choice in 2017 and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds with the first round of 2018, while hitting the left tackle Dion Dawkins after other negotiations involving choosing the third round they acquired in the deal. . Quarterback Josh Allen was not hired with a choice of that deal, but coach Sean McDermott still mentioned him while saying things worked both ways.
“They got a good player out of Patrick, and I think we got on well with Josh, Tremaine and Tre’Davious – however, you kind of shape that, in terms of reeds that have become reeds,” said McDermott, via Marcel Louis- Jacques from ESPN.com. “I think the two teams did very well.”
Knowing how things would be for Mahomes in the NFL, Bills could do something different with the benefit of a time machine, but a victory this Sunday would make that decision more difficult.
