Round 2: Denzel Mims

The Buffalo Bills first pick will be 54th overall, due to the Stefon Diggs trade that saw their first round pick go to the Vikings, and a player like Denzel Mims would be the perfect addition here.

The former Baylor wide receiver had a great draft process and he could have moved his stock up past the Bills at 54. If he is still there when the Bills are on the clock, then he would be a great fit into this offense.

Mims has great size at 6’3″ and 204 pounds, something that this position is lacking. He would be a great target for Josh Allen in the red zone and on the outside. The thing that sets Mims apart from some of the other receivers is his toughness and his willingness to run block.

During the NFL Combine, this was something that Mims acknowledged as part of his game that sets him apart, as Kyle Crabbs at The Draft Network noted. If the Bills have a receiver who is willing to block the way Mims does, it will only be a boost to Devin Singletary but also when Josh Allen is utilizing his scrambling ability.
