Buffalo Bills Projected to Trade Two Draft Picks for Former Florida State Star
The Buffalo Bills are expected to make a strategic move in the upcoming NFL Draft, trading two draft picks to secure a standout defensive player from Florida State.
Bills Eyeing Former Seminole Azareye’h Thomas
In NFL Network analyst Chad Reuter’s latest four-round mock draft, Buffalo is projected to send two fourth-round picks to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for the 24th overall selection. With that pick, the Bills would draft former Florida State cornerback Azareye’h Thomas, a rising prospect gaining traction among NFL executives.
If the deal materializes, Thomas will reunite with former Seminole wide receiver Keon Coleman in Buffalo, further strengthening the Bills’ young core.
A Smart Trade for Both Teams?
Reuter detailed the potential benefits for both teams:
- Buffalo’s Perspective: The Bills move up to grab a 6-foot-1, 197-pound cornerback who could be a valuable addition to their secondary.
- Minnesota’s Strategy: With only four picks in the draft, the Vikings might prefer accumulating more selections rather than staying at No. 24.
Thomas’ Impact at Florida State
During the 2024 season, Thomas was a defensive anchor for the Seminoles, showcasing his talent despite some challenges:
✔️ Started all 12 games
✔️ Logged 52 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 4 pass deflections, and 1 interception
✔️ Played the most snaps (755) of any FSU defender, nearly 200 more than the next closest player
If Thomas is selected in the first round, he would be the second consecutive first-round pick from FSU and the third in the last four years.
