NFL Draft 2019 rumors: Patriots, Packers, Bills all exploring moving up image

Just because the 2019 NFL Draft doesn't start until 8 p.m. ET doesn't mean teams aren't already trying to move around.

The Bills, Packers and Patriots have all discussed the possibility of moving up in the draft, according to a report from NFL Network.

Buffalo in particular has a desire to move up as NFL Media has reported the team is trying to get into the top five.​

The Bills are hoping to pick up one of the high-quality defensive linemen in this class. If they were to move up into a top five selection, they could bolster its line with talent in Alabama's Quinnen Williams or pass rushers Nick Bosa and Devin White.

As for the Packers and Patriots, it's unclear who they would want to get with a high selection.

The Patriots could use a pass rusher and if someone like Montez Sweat falls, he could be their guy.

The Packers have two first-round picks including the No. 12 selection. The draft is also full of talented offensive lineman so if a lot go off the board early, the Packers could move up to get the likes of Andre Dillard or even Dalton Risner.

Update: The Packers moved up from No. 30 to No. 21 and took defensive back Darnell Savage.
