The Buffalo Bills could still use some help at the wide receiver position, more specifically a No. 2 receiver and a little more depth.
I’m pretty sure the Buffalo Bills have made most of their moves in free agency. All that’s left are a few depth additions and then it is time to get ready for the draft — which is where I see the Buffalo Bills finding their No. 2 receiver.
Obviously, there are 2 receivers to look at — Mike Williams and Corey Davis.
If the Bills decide to go this route, either receiver will work and both will bring different styles. Williams will bring better production out of the gate, but won’t have the type of explosiveness that Buffalo likes. On the other hand, Corey Davis will bring a higher ceiling, but would have to compete a little more for the No. 2 spot in Buffalo.
MUST READ: Corey Davis or Mike Williams at No. 10?
Williams can go up and catch just about any ball thrown his way. This will be attractive to a Bills’ team that struggled with their passing game last season. Davis has the size, but brings speed and ability to get open to his arsenal.

Personally, I think the Buffalo Bills would be better off with Corey Davis. Not only is Mike Williams expected to go before him, I think the Bills can get more out of him in the long run.
If the Buffalo Bills don’t elect to go with WR in the first round or decide to trade for an extra draft pick, then Zay Jones could potentially pop into the equation. He has been vocal about his talent and has even made his own case for being the best receiver in this class.
Confidence can go a long way and Jones definitely has that. Not to mention, his receiving coach in college is now coaching the Bills’ receivers — which could be a match made in heaven.
Also, don’t forget about Josh Gordon, who is ready to make a return to football. Likely being released by the Cleveland Browns, he will be available to any team. The Bills would have to look past his history and hope that he is ready to turn over a new leaf.
Ultimately, I see the Buffalo Bills going WR in the first round and bringing a No. 2 receiver into the equation. It could definitely make for an exciting 2017 campaign.
