WR Isaiah McKenzie
Isaiah McKenzie is certainly a curious case for the Bills. With such depth at the wide receiver position, is there room for McKenzie? Others battling for depth spots include Duke Williams, Andre Roberts and rookie Isaiah Hodgins. But McKenzie does plenty that no one else can do, running jet sweeps and chipping in on offense in various ways for coordinator Brian Daboll. What also could be an underlying reason for keeping him is his ability as a backup return man for the Bills as well.
McKenzie’s status with the Bills is essentially that of a bubble guy. He has a unique skill set, but not one that would lock up a spot for him. But does that same talent make him appealing as a trade candidate for another team, too? Or is it too difficult to fit him in another offense? A lot of question marks surrounding McKenzie.
OL Evan Boehm
As things sit now, Evan Boehm looks like the offensive lineman that could be involved in a trademark Beane trade. Think Wyatt Teller or Russell Bodine. Those former Bills players weren’t going to win a job with many snaps in Buffalo, but their value was still high enough to land Beane a late-round pick in the draft. Boehm signed with the Bills to compete for a job, but so did others. The recently signed Brian Winters might not slide into Jon Feliciano’s starting spot like we first thought, however, he probably has an advantage to stick around due to experience. Then there’s Darryl Williams, who’s got a bit more opportunity to show himself during training camp, which indicates the Bills like him. Boehm could be a valuable depth player certainly, but if a late-round pick comes calling, Beane may pull that trigger.
