Draft a wide receiver in the second round

We can narrow it down now. This one is totally in Beane’s control. Let’s say the Bills really weren’t impressed with what they saw in Higgins at his pro day. After the trade for Diggs, along with the return of Buffalo’s top two wide receivers, selecting a different wideout would be somewhat surprising with the Bills’ first pick in the second round of the draft.

The receiver class is very deep, bordering on historic standards. There could be upwards of 12 receivers selected in the first two rounds of the draft this week. If a receiver is the best player available at the 54th overall spot, would Beane take a swing at giving the team another weapon on offense? That would be a very bold move by Beane. While the Bills don’t have a pressing need on their roster, that could be considered an overkill on new wide receivers for the team, as opposed to picking one later on in the draft.

With that depth in mind, there’s several that could be on the board at pick No. 54, along with Higgins, potentially. Those include Laviska Shenault, Chase Claypool, or KJ Hamler, among others.
