It was short, sweet and to the point, but USA Today thinks the Buffalo Bills could be picking Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins at the 2020 NFL Draft.
Like Bills observers, USA Today sees the Bills’ passing attack exactly as it is when describing the selection:
22. Buffalo Bills – Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson: This offense has the slot guy (Cole Beasley) and the speed guy (Smokey Brown) but could really use the big guy – Higgins is 6-4, 215 – to help provide sometimes scattershot QB Josh Allen a target with a large catch radius.
Also like fans of the Bills, this mock draft sees the Eagles as potentially a problem for the Bills. Like Buffalo, Philadelphia could use a receiver, too. With their pick right before the Bills, another popular selection for the Bills, Colorado wideout Laviska Shenault, is drafted by the Eagles.
Interestingly, the Bills don’t let the run of receivers taken before them scare them away from taking their man in this mock. In total, six are off the board before Buffalo picks, which could help push other talent down the board. Instead, the Bills stick to their WR need here and go with the big-bodied target that their offense didn’t have last season. Adding such a target could help Allen improve his deep-ball accuracy, the most concerning aspect of his game in 2019.
