‘“It’s a really deep group,” agrees ESPN analyst Mel Kiper. “So you can wait. I think six wide receivers go in the first maybe seven, another six or seven in the second, I think six or seven in the third. So it’s 27 total with grades inside of the fourth round. So wide receiver is a position where you can get help if you wait.”’

’44. Buffalo Bills (projected trade with Las Vegas). Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina. Legette is 6-foot-1 and weighs 221 pounds, but ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine, so he has an intriguing blend of size and speed. He’s thought to have a good catch radius and outstanding instincts in the open field. At this point in the draft, while adding a third-round pick, Legette would give the Bills outstanding value and a potential replacement as the team’s No. 1 receiver if they decide to move on from Stefon Diggs, perhaps as soon as after the 2024 season.’

‘If Knox was traded before the draft, his cap hit for 2024 would be $17.54 million. That’s $9.812 million more than what it’s scheduled to be – $7.728 million. Trading him would put the Bills over the salary cap. The first chance for the Bills to get out from Knox’s contract is after the 2025 season, so it’s a good bet he’s here for at least the next two years. With that being true, it will be interesting to see how offensive coordinator Joe Brady utilizes both Knox and Kincaid in the offense.’
