The Draft Wire‘s latest mock draft for the 2020 NFL Draft has the Bills taking Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault from Colorado.
The position could be on the Bills’ radar come late April, but the Bills should keep the Eagles in mind as well. Picking at No. 21, one spot ahead of the Bills, the Eagles also take a wide receiver. Their pick is Clemson’s Tee Higgins, a popular pick for Buffalo.
Despite that, Shenault is still the Bills’ man. Here’s why, according to Draft Wire:
The Bills are desperate need of a true No. 1 target for Josh Allen. Shenault is a physical player with a well-built frame who puts it to good use, both at the catch point and after the catch. He’s the complete player this offense needs to take their game to the next level in 2020 and beyond.
Wide receiver could certainly be in-play for the Bills with their first-round pick the way things sit in Buffalo. Are Cole Beasley and John Brown reliable options for 2020? Yes. But could the Bills use more depth and a youthful option at receiver too? Also yes. At 6-foot-2 and a strong 220-pound frame, Shenault looks very much like the No. 1 wideout the Bills have lacked in recent years. His size could certainly make a difference for the Bills as well. While not overly tall like the 6-foot-4 Higgins, Shenault plays big.
