Given the strength of the wide receiver class, the likelihood of Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel being traded during the first round was low. Deebo himself was an early second-round pick, while if a team traded for Aiyiuk, they’d have to pay him north of $25 million on top of a Day 1 pick.
The Buffalo Bills have the first pick of the second round, and they have yet to replace Stefon Diggs. The New England Patriots select after Buffalo, and their best receiver is coming off an ACL injury. The Washington Commanders have two picks in the top 40, while the Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers could all use receiver help.
