5 players the Buffalo Bills could target in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft
Marvin Harrison Jr - wide receiver
This is a bit of a dream but I recently "tweeted" on X asking fans for players or positions they feel the Bills should go with in the first round. Marvin Harrison Jr's name came up quite a few times with fans saying the team should give up whatever they have to move up high enough. So, I decided to take a look at what it would take to make that happen, and here is what it would look like.
The #Bills are on a bye week. So, let’s talk about the draft. Name a player or position you want to see the Bills target in round 1 on next year’s NFL draft. #BillsMafia

Projecting this is nearly impossible because we don't know who is drafting where yet but Harrison will be top ten and could be top-five. The one thing that could cause him to fall out of the top five is this quarterback class. But let me put it this way, according to NFL Draft value charts, the number one pick is worth 3,000 points and the number five pick is worth 1,700 points. According to drafttec.com, they are projecting the Bills' entire draft value at 1,357. Even trading their entire draft wouldn't be enough for the fifth overall pick.
Players could be included in a deal of course and the Bills draft value will obviously change based on where they ultimately land in the draft. Per drafttec.com, they have the Bills projected with the 23rd pick, which means they believe the Bills find their way into the playoffs. Also, the teams they have projected in the top-five, are all teams in need of a quarterback, so that'll change things as well. By the way, there is no guarantee Harrison Jr. will come out for the draft, given the NIL money available to him.
