After trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, the Buffalo Bills are in need of a top receiver, and one analyst believes they might be able to acquire one through a second blockbuster trade.
Rob Maaddi of The Associated Press projected in a mock draft that was released on April 16 that the Bills would move up to the No. 4 overall pick and exchange it with the Arizona Cardinals in order to select wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Maaddi agreed that it would be a costly deal, but he thinks the Bills would do it if they were under pressure to win the Super Bowl.
The Bills Take a Risk by Extending the Super Bowl Window
Harrison is regarded by most pundits as the best overall player and top receiving prospect in this year’s draft, and most believe he will go in the top five. Maaddi thinks the Bills could go for best, despite other mock draft predictions saying they will trade up to the back end of the top 10 or later to select one of the other top receivers.
Maaddi stated, “Harrison, the Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison’s son, was the best WR on the field last season.” “Due to his lack of offseason training, his stock has somewhat declined, but his film is still sufficient. The Bills need a No. 1 pick in order to contend for a Super Bowl.
The Bills Risk Everything by Adding a Super Bowl Window Extension
The consensus among analysts is that Harrison will go in the top five, making him the best overall player and the finest receiving prospect in this year’s draft. While most mock draft projections indicate the Bills will move up to the back end of the top 10 or later to select one of the other top receivers, Maaddi believes the team could go for the best.
Maaddi said, “Harrison, the Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison’s son, was the best WR on the field last season.”His film is still good, but his stock has dropped a little because he didn’t workout throughout the offseason. A No. 1 pick is necessary for the Bills to compete.
Bills general manager Brandon Beane has not been shy about making first-round moves, taking smaller jumps up the board in 2022 to snag cornerback Kaiir Elam and again last season to select tight end Dalton Kincaid. But the Bills have not made such a large move since 2014, when they jumped up to No. 4 overall to select wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
