The Bills brought Stefon Diggs on board with their first-round for the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft. Buffalo sent the selection to the Vikings for him via trade.
Diggs, Cole Beasley and John Brown will make a formidable trio next year, a strong crew for quarterback Josh Allen to rely on. But the Bills could still stand to add some youth and even height in their receiver room. Despite not having a first rounder any more, Buffalo could use one of their later picks to bring in another playmaker out wide on offense.
With that, here are five mid-round receivers that should be on the Bills radar at the upcoming draft:
Van Jefferson | Florida
Van Jefferson will likely stick around for a bit on draft boards simply because of the numbers. While he flashed his talents in college, he transferred to Florida from Ole Miss and never really put up big stats anywhere. His best season came as a senior when he put up 49 catches and six scores in 12 games.
The 6-foot-2 target is a bit of an older prospect as he’ll be 24 before taking his first NFL snap. But that could be appealing to the Bills, who’ve coveted upperclass prospects under Sean McDermott’s watch. With his age in mind, he might not bulk up much more or develop his game further. He does have versatility to play inside and outside formations, though.
