The Draft Wire released their latest four-round mock ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft this week and the Bills have an even split in it.

Right at the top, Buffalo addresses their top-two needs with a receiver and pass rusher. Then their next two picks are also split between offense and defense as well.

Starting at the top with their first pick at No. 22 overall, the Bills select wideout Laviska Shenault from Colorado:

22. Buffalo Bills
Laviska Shenault, Jr. | WR | Colorado
The Eagles passing on a Shenault here is a big win for the Bills, who are also in desperate need of a true No. 1 target for Josh Allen. Shenault is a physical player with a well-built frame who puts it to good use, both at the catch point and after the catch. He’s the complete player this offense needs to take their game to the next level in 2020 and beyond.

In this mock draft scenario, Shenault is the fifth first-round receiver selected. In total, six go in the opening round of the draft. The 2020 wideout group has long been touted as one of the best in recent memory, so that comes as no surprise.

While the Eagles do allow Shenault to get to the Bills, some might still be a little bummed out with their pick. Clemson’s big-bodied target Tee Higgins comes off the board one pick before the Bills. He’s another popular mocked player to the Bills because of Buffalo’s need for size at the position.

Shenault is slightly shorter than Higgins, but at 6-foot-2, still does have size and plays big, too. He’s a physical target with some quickness in his game. According to Pro Football Focus, Shenault led college receivers with 46 missed tackle over the past two seasons. In a draft class that’s not as a deep at the position, Shenault could easily be one of the top wideouts selected in another year. Shenault did recently have a small injury scare as he’s dealing with an inflammation of the pubic bone, however, it was also announced he won’t need surgery to repair the issue.
