WR Michael Pittman Jr., USC
If you are looking for that top-caliber wideout, Michael Pittman will be a Day 1 or Day 2 pick and should be on the Bills’ radar. At 6-foot-4, he provides the size Buffalo’s lacks in the otherwise solid receivers that John Brown and Cole Beasley are.
Pittman had a decently consistent career at USC, but really broke out last season, highlighted by 11 touchdowns in 13 games played. Of his 133 targets, he hauled in 101 of them last season for 1,269 yards. Per PFF, Pittman dropped only four of 176 catchable passes in his college career.
With his size, you’re thinking deep passes. Pittman has to win those to grow himself into a No. 1 receiver at the next level, but PFF says he has strong play in underneath and intermediate routes too, which is Josh Allen’s bread and butter.
WR Antonio Gandy-Golden, Liberty
He’s not exactly coming from one of the powerhouses, but even Pro Football Focus is intrigued by Gandy-Golden, calling him their highest-graded wideout on the North team’s roster.
The reason the Bills could be interested in him as a mid-to-late pick is because of his 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame, naturally. Over the past two seasons in college football, Gandy-Golden had 27 deep-ball catches over 20 yards, second-most in the nation. Showcasing well against better talent than he consistently faced at Liberty would certainly help him this week.
MICHAEL PITTMAN IS THE BEST RECEIVER IN THE CONFERENCE
