The NFL Draft is just around the corner, and the Buffalo Bills are armed with seven picks to make their mark. They've got some extra choices on Day 3, but let's not forget they sent their second-rounder to the Chicago Bears in exchange for D.J.
Moore. Some fans might have raised eyebrows at the cost, but when you compare it to what the Broncos shelled out for Jaylen Waddle, it seems like a savvy move.
Moore's addition is a solid one, but the Bills still have room to bolster their receiving corps. It's been a while since the Bills skipped drafting a wide receiver-2019, to be exact. Since then, they've consistently added talent, but only Gabe Davis and Khalil Shakir have really made waves.
Keon Coleman hasn't lived up to expectations yet, but with Joe Brady now coaching, there's hope for a turnaround. Bills fans are likely crossing their fingers for an early-round receiver pick rather than a late-round gamble. In a recent mock draft by Lou Scataglia from NFL Spin Zone, Buffalo is projected to snag a gem in the third round with UConn's Skyler Bell.
Scataglia describes Bell as a versatile threat on the field, capable of fitting into various roles. After securing D.J. Moore earlier, doubling down with Bell could be a game-changer for Buffalo.
Bell's journey started at Wisconsin, where his production was modest, never surpassing 444 yards and 5 touchdowns in a season. But his move to UConn marked a turning point.
In 2024, Bell racked up 860 yards and 4 touchdowns on 50 catches. Last season, he outdid himself with 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns, cementing his status as a promising Day 2 pick.
Adding Bell to the Bills' lineup would inject fresh potential into their receiver room and provide immediate competition for Keon Coleman, who's heading into a pivotal year on his rookie deal. If Buffalo can snag Bell late in the third round, it could be a steal that pays dividends for years to come.
