The Buffalo Bills are entering the 2023 NFL Draft likely looking to add a wide receiver or two over the three days. The Bills have a glaring question at slot receiver after releasing Isaiah McKenzie but could also be looking past the 2023 season and may draft a player who could replace Gabe Davis if he were to leave in free agency.

The good news is that there should be plenty of options in each round that the Buffalo Bills could draft to address this key position. These are the ideal wide receiver to target in all seven rounds.

Buffalo Bills Ideal WR in Round 1 of NFL Draft: Jordan Addison (USC)

There will be plenty of options in the first round for the Buffalo Bills if they want to address the wide receiver position. While players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zay Flowers could be the selection, the ideal pick in this round would be Jordan Addison.

The reason that Addison is the best among this group is that he brings versatility to the position and gives the Buffalo Bills options this year and after. He is probably the one wide receiver in this group that has the skill set to play both inside and outside.

For the Buffalo Bills, this gives them options as he could play in the slot as a rookie and remain there in 2024 or move outside and replace Gabe Davis if he were to leave in free agency.

While not the same wide receiver, Jordan Addison is similar to Stefon Diggs in that he is not the biggest wide receiver but does an excellent job in route running that helps him create that separation. He is a player that would be an excellent receiver to pair with Stefon Diggs that has the upside to eventually be the number one wide receiver in this offense.
