NFL Mock Draft: Devontez Walker of North Carolina is chosen by the Bills to give Josh Allen a new wide receiver.

Devontez Walker of North Carolina is chosen by the Bills to give Josh Allen a new wide receiver.

In each of the last four rounds, the Buffalo Bills have selected a receiver, and there are indications that they may do so once more this April in the NFL Draft of 2024.

Due to Gabe Davis’s impending free agency and the receiving room’s general lack of consistency towards the end of the season—especially from star receiver Stefon Diggs—it’s likely that Buffalo will use the draft to add depth to its receiving corps.

And the Bills are predicted to do just that at No. 28 overall in a recent mock draft from CBS Sports.

According to the website, Buffalo will choose receiver Devontez Walker of North Carolina with their first-round pick. Walker would join Diggs, Khalil Shakir, and Justin Shorter, a second-year pass-catcher, in the receiving room, should Davis decide to sign with another team.

What CBS said regarding the choice is as follows:

“Walker excelled on the field even though the NCAA didn’t give him permission to play until much later in the season. The former Kent State standout caught 41 passes for 699 yards and seven scores in eight games, according to CBS Sports.

Walker totaled 20 touchdowns and 1,796 yards of offense throughout his time in college. Playmaker with an eye for the end zone, Walker should be able to contribute for the Bills as a WR3 in his rookie campaign, much like Dalton Kincaid became Allen’s go-to target in the latter part of the season. That’s the best case scenario for Buffalo, of course.

Though it’s still unclear the path the Bills will take in the first round of the draft, selecting Walker or another player at receiver may be a viable possibility.
