By contrast, the offer the Bills made the Broncos at #5 was a bit better (nos. #12, #22 and an exchange of a Bills second round pick for a Broncos’ third round pick) and totals 2115 points – assuming the 2nd and 3rd being exchanged were the earlier of each team’s pick.
Thus, if the Bills had offered the Colts the #12 and #22 picks together, the resulting point total (1980 points) would fit nicely between the two offers.

That's only because the Bucs were idiots. They could have gotten the same deal, so could the Colts. The Bills wanted their QB and would have given that offer to any of the top spots in the draft to get him.
