After acquiring an extra draft pick from Stefon Diggs, many fans expect the Buffalo Bills to package that in a trade-up for a wide receiver. The speculation from fans and media on how high the Bills move up has been fun, with many hoping they move up into the top 10 or 15 for Brian Thomas Jr. Where exactly they trade up to, we may not find out until the draft actually begins. There is always the chance that Brandon Beane trades up for a position nobody saw coming, like last year with Dalton Kincaid. If that's the case, center or cornerback could be in play for round one. But that begs the question, who's worth trading up for in this deep draft class?

Brian Thomas Jr, WR, LSU

If you follow any Bills fan on Twitter, they're pounding the table for Brian, who was spectacular at LSU. He totaled 1,177 yards and 17 TDs on 68 receptions last year and was one of the best receivers in college football. The big 6'3", 209-pound receiver met with the Bills at the combine and his teammates seem to believe he will be drafted by Buffalo.

Whether his teammates know anything or not, it's safe to assume he's high on the Bills draft board, and they have a legitimate shot at selecting him in a trade-up. Thomas brings a skillset the Bills are looking for from their potential number one receiver. Running a 4.33, 40 at the combine at his size is no joke and that speed translates to the field. the Bills could do a lot of damage with Thomas Jr, Kincaid, and Curtis Samuel on the field together.
