A lot of Buffalo Bills fans expect, and hope, that they trade up for one of the top 3 wide receivers in this draft. But if they start to go fast, and Brandon Beane's "guy" isn't there anymore, we could see the Bills trade back into the 2nd round and accumulate more draft picks.

Obviously, this would be a worst-case scenario, but with Beane at the helm, you can't rule anything out. There's a possibility the Bills could go back-to-back receivers as they did not too long ago with defensive end and offensive tackle in the same draft.

With a glaring need at the receiver position, multiple draft picks being dedicated to that position isn't completely out of the question. One thing is for certain, though. Beane won't stay put in this draft. So, who are some players they could target in a trade back?

5 players to target if the Buffalo Bills trade back in the first round

Keon Coleman, Wide Receiver, FSU

Coleman is an intriguing prospect to me and has multiple questions that need answers. How can his game translate to the Bills offense if he can't garner separation on deep routes? And, will he be more than just a tall receiver?

No question the Bills are looking for size after losing Gabe Davis, but that player needs to provide more than just height as well. In an offense with Josh Allen throwing deep multiple times per game, they need their receivers to win contested catch battles as well.

Coleman's height could intrigue the Bills on day 2 of the draft after measuring 6'3 at the NFL Combine. If the Bills think he can improve at the next level, an offense with the height of Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Mack Hollins is something we haven't seen from this regime before.
