The Buffalo Bills attempted to trade up to select Carlos Hyde.

Hyde, a running back out of Ohio State, was picked by the San Francisco 49ers.

“What we were told by Miami was the 49ers deal was more appealing because they didn’t have to drop down as far because San Francisco still had a pick in the second round so that made sense to them and it made sense to us,” Doug Whaley said.

The 49ers picked Hyde and the Bills moved on to trade for Bryce Brown to round out their backfield for the 2014 season.
