Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins is a popular player mocked to the Buffalo Bills in the early run leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft. CBS Sports takes that route in their latest three-round mock draft.
Higgins has much of what many want from the Bills’ first-round pick: skill and size. Buffalo’s offense added skill, but has neglected size in recent years. Because of that, Higgins to the Bills makes sense, pending needs changing in free agency prior to the draft.
Here’s how CBS Sports breaks down the selection:
No. 22 – Bills: WR Tee Higgins
I’d like to see the Bills explore a trade up to land one of the top two receivers, but even if they stay here, they can land a difference-maker in a strong class. Higgins is a big, downfield weapon who can bring another element to the Bills’ passing game.
While the Bills do have nine picks at the upcoming draft, trading up seems unlikely. Many of the Bills’ extra picks are of the later variety. In the first three rounds the Bills one have one pick in each. You’d be hard pressed to see Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane to give up a package like that, but never say never.
