Wide receiver (6)
Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davis, Andre Roberts, Duke Williams
Cuts: Isaiah McKenzie, Ray-Ray McCloud, Isaiah Hodgins, Robert Foster, Nick Easley
Here’s where we decided to have a little fun. The Bills’ top-three is set at receiver so why waste time getting into it at all: Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley.
As a fourth-round pick, Gabriel Davis will be close to a lock for the roster as a rookie. But those left off here are interesting, we’ll admit.
So let’s explain. Isaiah McKenzie has been the Swiss-army knife for the Bills, but now that John Brown is no longer holding No. 1 receiver duties, he’s showed a willingness to do some of these things at times, so we build a situation here that has Brown doing more tricks and such, making McKenzie expendable. Then we have Andre Roberts, a clear-cut returner for the Bills. If someone else emerges, Roberts could lose his roster spot, but we don’t really see who that could be. It’s not a smart play to have someone like Micah Hyde, a starter, returning kicks.
Our final spot comes down to Duke Williams vs. Isaiah Hodgins vs. Robert Foster. It’s a three-way flip of the coin at this point. By drafting Hodgins, the Bills admitted they really want more size in their wideout room, but Williams has it too. So we’ll have fun and guess Williams wins this camp battle, but he has to improve as a special teams contributor.
