NFL Draft 2020: Mel Kiper Jr. adds ‘Swiss Army knife’ WR for Buffalo Bills in mock draft 1.0
‘“General manager Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott used the 2019 offseason to build a competent offense around quarterback Josh Allen, and it worked — the Bills went 10-6 and made the playoffs, with some help from a great defense,” Kiper wrote. “Now, though, they have to figure out how to get over the Patriots hump and take the next step. One way is to keep giving Allen targets who can get open, and that’s Shenault, a Swiss Army knife who plays receiver like a running back. He’s great after the catch and versatile enough to play inside or out. Shenault could nicely complement John Brown and Cole Beasley.”’
‘No charm’: Some Pro Bowl players hate traveling to WNY to play Buffalo Bills
‘BUFFALO, yes, was the runaway winner, named by 10(!) players. “No charm, and all the negatives of Green Bay,” one player said. “Anywhere on the East Coast” was another response, declining to pick a single city. Said another who rarely leaves the hotel on the road: “I judge a city by the locker room, and Oakland has the worst.”’
Jim Kelly optimistic about Josh Allen, Bills outlook
‘“Josh had a pretty good year. I think going from [his] second to third [season], I think, and I pray, that we see a big improvement there,” said Kelly. “I love what they’re doing. I love what the Pegula’s have done, what Brandon Beane has done. Such a super job. But we’re a couple of players away. I think we get those players, we get Josh to the next level… look out. Because January is coming, and home games in January is coming.”’
