The National Championship Game is in the history books and the LSU Tigers are the top team and grouping of Tigers after defeating the Clemson Tigers on Monday.
Of course, plenty of players out on the field will find new homes next season in the NFL. Could any of them be on the Buffalo Bills’ radar as April’s draft slowly comes into focus?
Draft Wire released a four-round mock draft following the divisional round of the playoffs last weekend, and here’s how that plays out for the Bills in another very early 2020 NFL mock draft:
In Buffalo’s first pick, wide receiver could certainly be in play and that’s the direction the Bills go in for this mock draft. The pick is Laviska Shenault from Colorado, one of the top-wideout prospect in the upcoming draft.
Here’s how Draft Wire breaks down the pick:
22. Buffalo Bills
Laviska Shenault, Jr. | WR | Colorado
The Eagles passing on a receiver here is a big win for the Bills, who are also in 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.
As mentioned, the Bills could use some help for Allen. 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.
We all love getting excited for the Duke Williams and Brandon Reilly’s of the world, but Buffalo, let’s get a real prospect in here.
