With the First Pick: Bills add WR in latest mock draft, and ‘trust the tape’ prospects not to be overlooked

Holy smokes, Batman! Did we have a knock-your-socks-off trade yesterday, or what? With Stefon Diggs in Houston, and the Bills having moved on from their top-two targeted receivers from last season, the blockbuster deal had a seismic impact on the 2024 NFL Draft. 

With Diggs, Joe Mixon and Danielle Hunter, the Texans have loaded up this offseason after they won a playoff game a few months ago and have the reigning Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year. Houston is going to be a problem. I wonder which directions the Texans decide to go in with their nine selections in this draft. 

As for the Bills — the #WRtrain is now of the bullet variety and nearly at maximum capacity with Bills Mafia members. It’ll be a stunner if Buffalo doesn’t draft a receiver in the first round, and the team has 10 total picks to attempt to retool a roster that’ll have plenty of new faces in 2024 for Josh Allen’s age-28 season.
