The Buffalo Bills have not invested a top three round draft selection on a wide receiver since they traded for a proven commodity in Stefon Diggs prior to the 2020 NFL Draft. In that trade, the Bills gave up their 2020 first-round pick for the rights to the star receiver. That move proved to be very effective in the aiding of quarterback Josh Allen’s development. Allen took a massive third year leap and the rest is history.
The wide receiver room in 2022 became a large talking point for this team. Questions arose around every piece outside of Diggs — questions about Gabriel Davis’ drop woes and Isaiah McKenzie’s inability to uncover quickly and coordinate with Allen in the quick game from the slot was an issue all season.
