Buffalo Bills are eyeing a bold move to secure a top-tier receiver following the departure of Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. Analysts suggest they might engage in another blockbuster trade to address this gap.
In a recent mock draft, Rob Maaddi from The Associated Press proposed a scenario where the Bills trade up to the No. 4 overall pick, orchestrating a swap with the Arizona Cardinals to draft Marvin Harrison Jr., a highly touted wide receiver prospect. While acknowledging the hefty cost of such a move, Maaddi argues that the Bills’ pursuit of a Super Bowl title could drive them to take this step.
Harrison Jr., regarded as one of the premier talents in this year’s draft class, is seen as a potential game-changer for the Bills’ offense. Despite speculation in other mock drafts about the Bills targeting receivers later in the first round, Maaddi contends that the Bills might aim for the best available talent.
The proposed trade would demand a significant package of draft picks from the Bills, including their No. 28 overall pick and several others from this year and next. However, with 11 total picks at their disposal, the Bills have the resources to execute such a move while still addressing other areas of need.
Buffalo’s general manager, Brandon Beane, has a track record of strategic first-round maneuvers, having made notable jumps in previous drafts. While a move of this magnitude would be the Bills’ largest since 2014, it underscores their commitment to strengthening the team’s championship prospects.
