The Buffalo Bills traded two first-round picks and a fourth in order to move up five spots to select Sammy Watkins with the fourth overall pick in Thursday’s NFL Draft. After being picked, Watkins decided to become a pioneer — he took a selfie with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Much like what David Ortiz did at the White House, we’re guessing Watkins was paid by Samsung for this attention-grabbing stunt.
As for the pick … I like Watkins. A lot. I think he’s a great playmaker and will make Buffalo a lot better. Many people think they gave up too much by trading a first rounder in 2015 to move up five spots this year, but that tells me the Bills are banking on having a strong season which would translate to a late pick.
I really like the core the Bills are putting together and expect them to be at least a .500 squad next season.
And their players sure liked the pick too:
