2020 NFL Draft: Grading the Bills’ Day 3 picks

Here are the grades for the Buffalo’s draft picks on Saturday. 

The Buffalo Bills added some intriguing pieces to their roster on the third day of the 2020 NFL Draft. These prospects will be battling for a roster spot, undoubtedly pushing veterans for snaps this fall. With the uncertainty of training camp this summer, which is where these players usually make their first mark for their team, these players have an uncertain road ahead.

Round 4 | No. 128 | WR Gabriel Davis | Central Florida

Grade: B+

This is a very good value pick at this point in the draft for the Bills. Davis has the frame that is largely missing in the Bills’ receiving corps. At 6-foot-3, 216 pounds, the Central Florida wideout can use his size to win contested catches. He is a vertical threat for the team, even though he isn’t necessarily a flat-out burner. Davis does a good job of using his frame to gain position inside defenders. He had a stellar junior season, catching 72 passes for 1,241 receiving yards and 12 touchdown receptions.

Davis doesn’t necessarily have positional versatility at this point. He played mostly on the left side of the formation at Central Florida. His ascent up the depth chart will depend on how quickly hie expands his expertise at running an expanded route tree.

The pick further creates a bit of a logjam at the bottom of the Bills wide receiver depth chart. Isaiah McKenzie, Robert Foster, Andre Holmes, Duke Williams, and Ray-Ray McCloud III will challenge for roles in the fall.
