At No. 22 overall at the 2020 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills did not select anyone.
That pick moved from the Bills to the Minnesota Vikings in the trade heard round the world: Stefon Diggs landing with Buffalo. So for those wondering, the Vikings did, in fact, select a player eventually at No. 22.
It ended up being… a wide receiver. LSU’s Justin Jefferson was the move.
Jefferson ended up being the fifth receiver selected at the draft after Henry Ruggs (12), Jerry Jeudy (15), Cee Dee Lamb (17) and Jalen Reagor (21). Jefferson, a 6-foot-4 target, saw his stock shoot up draft boards when he ran a 4.43 40-yard dash time at the recent scouting combine. Size and speed.
The Bills and Diggs were going to be connected to whoever the Vikings selected to an extent, regardless of the pick. Now we have a straight wideout-to-wideout comparison. Let the fun begin.
