2020 NFL Mock Draft: Pre-Combine mock with Redskins trading down
Jalen Reagor. 22. player. 16. . Wide Receiver. Buffalo Bills
Adding John Brown and Cole Beasley to the Buffalo offense really helped the Bills to remain competitive last season. But they’re still one weapon short of having a strong receiving corps.
The Bills tried a plethora of options as their No. 3 receiver last year but couldn’t quite find one that consistently worked. Isaiah McKenzie, Duke Williams, and Robert Foster worked in spurts, but all are better as depth options.
At this juncture, Jalen Reagor is the best receiver left. And while the Bills may want to find more of a bigger-bodied option to pair with slot-man Beasley and the 5-foot-10 Brown, Reagor could also be an effective option for them.
Reagor is a true burner and will certainly clock an excellent 40-time at the combine. He totaled only 43 catches for 611 yards and five touchdowns during his final college season, but that was related to some of the poor quarterback play he dealt with throughout his final year. With a big-armed quarterback like Josh Allen, his production could skyrocket.
Would it be nice to give the Bills a 6-foot-4 guy like Tee Higgins? Sure. But adding Reagor could make their offense even more explosive than it already is. Having two true burners in Brown and Reagor will make it incredibly difficult for teams to play the Bills, especially with Allen’s elite arm strength. So, perhaps they’ll do it and take an unconventional approach with their receivers in the 2020 season.
And hey, it’s not like they don’t have a big tight end, Dawson Knox, on the roster.
