On draft day 2008 the Bills tried to trade up with the New York Giants for the 31st pick in the draft but the trade offer was rejected by the Giants (according to a New York newspaper). It would be safe to assume that the player the Bills were looking to trade up for was the top big WR in the draft Devin Thomas. Friday Devin Thomas was carted off the field during training camp on a stretcher
2008 draft 1st pick was Leodis McKelvin
2008 Bills tried to trade up for Devin Thomas. Devin Thomas got injured his rookie year
2008 Bills select James Hardy. Injury status of James Hardy his rookie year is still to be determined
2007 draft 1st pick Marshawn Lynch
2007 draft Bills trade up to get Paul Pozlusny. Paul Pozlusny got injured his rookie year
2006 draft 1st pick Donte Whitner
2006 draft Bills trade up to get John McCargo. John McCargo got injured his rookie year
2005 Bills do not have a have a 1st round pick & select Roscoe Parrish in round 2
2005 draft Bills select Kevin Everett with their 2nd pick( 3rd round).Kevin Everett got injured his rookie year
2004 draft 1st pick was Lee Evans
2004 draft Bills trade up to get J.P. Losman. J.P. Losman got injured his rookie year
in summary
4 out of the last 5 years the Bills have tried to trade up & each of those players involved in the trade up got injured while the 1 st round pick stayed mostly healthy
4 out the last 5 years the Bills 2nd pick in the draft got injured. Status of this years 2nd pick is yet to be determined
Perhaps if the Bills were to trade up in 2009 they should be make sure the trade doesn't go through
