This year’s draft is expected to have some depth at the wide receiver position, so Easterling sees a scenario where the Bills wait until the second day of the draft to find some help for quarterback Josh Allen.

Justin Jefferson was on display at the Peach Bowl, catching a record four touchdown passes in the first half of LSU’s victory. Jefferson is a big target, at 6-foot-3, providing a big catch radius and speed to pressure secondaries. His big night in the Peach Bowl boosted his season numbers further, ending with 102 catches for 1,434 receiving yards and 18 touchdown catches. Jefferson would be an ideal complement to John Brown and Cole Beasley, creating a solid trio of options for Allen.

Zuniga is a 6-foot-4, 246-pound edge rusher from Florida. He missed time last season with a high ankle sprain. He recorded three sacks in five games this year. However, his 2018 season was promising, as he recorded 45 tackles (11 for loss) and 6.5 sacks. If he can return to form, Zuniga could be a solid rotational player on the defensive line for the Bills. Buffalo could have some movement in this area during the offseason as Shaq Lawson and Jordan Phillips are both pending free agents while Trent Murphy could be a cap causality.
