Last offseason, the Buffalo Bills added wide receivers John Brown and Cole Beasley in free agency to overhaul their wide receiver corps, eventually shipping out former second-round pick Zay Jones. While signing two starting receivers in free agency worked last year, this is the year Buffalo should pull the trigger on younger talent in the draft.
The immediate upgrade at wide receiver can be alluring. A.J. Green and Amari Cooper are likely to be available on the open market and would be obvious upgrades over Duke Williams and the rest of the WRs currently on Buffalo’s roster, but I don’t think that’s the right play long-term or short-term.
