What’s he think of the WR class at the 2020 NFL Draft?
The Bills need a big-bodied wide receiver, right? As expected, Beane said nope. He described this class as “Baskin Robbins’ 31 flavors of ice cream.” There’s a lot of good players Beane thinks, regardless of size or shape.
“Honestly, I’m looking for a good player,m” Beane said. “There’s size, speed, length, guys run after catch, all sorts of variables.”
“This is a deep receiver class, I think i can say that now,” Beane added. “”Probably the deepest.
“We’re not looking for speed or size, we’re looking at guys that can come in and fit along side what we already got, John Brown, Cole Beasley and the rest.”
So translation, really, Beane didn’t want to give away anything that he’s thinking. There’s plenty of teams ahead of the Bills in the draft, such as a the Eagles one spot ahead of Buffalo’s first-round pick, that also could use a wideout. Can’t give em’ anything (really). In regards to specific receivers, Beane was asked about one guy, Colorado’s Laviska Shenault, who’s a popular pick to the Bills in mock drafts.
On Shenault: “He’s been a productive player at Colorado. Put his name up there as one of the better recievers and we’ll see,” Beane said. “His tape was fun to watch.”
