The NFL Draft is approximately two months away, and the Buffalo Bills are expected to go with a wide receiver in the first round.

That said, don't be surprised if they double dip and take a receiver later on in the draft. We've gone over several of the possible options for Buffalo early in the draft, but these projected mid-round receivers could find their way to 1 Bills Drive and be big difference-makers.

Javon Baker, UCF

With a former UCF receiver expected to leave Buffalo in Gabe Davis, the Bills could be bringing in another Knight this offseason. Baker is a tremendous downfield threat, similar to what Davis was in college and at his peak with the Bills. His contested catch rate of 56.3 percent was substantially higher than the national average, per PFF, as was his 3.21 yards per route run. He averaged nearly 22 yards per reception in 2023- that is deep ball production that would have Joe Brady and Josh Allen salivating.

Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky

Corley is a name I've mentioned before, as he was a standout in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. He didn't take many snaps on the perimeter, but his size doesn't negate him from doing so. At 5-foot-11 and 210 pounds, someone of his size shouldn't be able to move as fast as he does. The Bills could have a versatile stud on their hands should Corley land in Buffalo.

Jamari Thrash, Louisville

Thrash was another standout from the Senior Bowl, and is one of my personal favorites in this draft class. He hauled in 62 passes and six touchdowns for the Cardinals in 2023, and was very good against man-coverage. He isn't a guy that'll win too many jump balls downfield, but again, this is assuming Buffalo takes someone in round one or acquires a big-name receiver who fills that need. Thrash can be that underneath guy who slashes and gashes his way for yards. 

As long as the Bills have No. 17 under center, they will be in the Super Bowl conversation, but it can't be just about being in the conversation anymore. Grabbing two receivers in the draft, or trading for a big-name wide-out and drafting another one on Day 2 or Day 3 would give the Bills a really deep group of weapons for Allen to distribute the ball to. Their window is far from closed, and they can make that clear by getting aggressive offensively this offseason.
