Since the start of minicamp, it was glaringly obvious that the Buffalo Bills had created a major flaw in their offense. The team didn’t have a sustainable nor deep receiving core.

Most thought the team would end up adding a veteran hand towards the end of the preseason but they did the opposite. Buffalo released their second-oldest wide receiver, Jeremy Kerley, and decided to keep an undrafted free agent out of Alabama, Robert Foster.

The move made people scratched their heads. The receiving core was clearly their biggest hole and that hole just got deeper to dig out of.

It’s unclear if the Bills will go on to sign another receiver off of the street this year or if they’ll just roll with the guys that they currently have. All signs point towards them rolling with the crew they have but general manager Brandon Beane might is known to be a big-time riverboat gambler.

What is true though is that the Bills at some point in the next offseason will need to supply quarterback Josh Allen with a few weapons. Most of the ones he currently has could be off of the team within the next four months.

In one of the latest mock drafts done, CBS Sports has Buffalo finding Allen that weapon. The site has the Bills selecting wide receiver N’Keal Harry from Arizona State at No. 9.

Harry has been a reliable option for the Sun Devils and racked up 1,142 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last year. The 6-foot-4 receiver is on pace so far this year to top those numbers. He has 419 receiving yards and five touchdowns through five games.

If Buffalo were to draft Harry, it’d be a good start for the team but it wouldn’t handle all of their needs for receiving. The team would most likely need to draft another receiver later on because free agency doesn’t look enticing this year. Not to mention, the Bills should also be looking to find an heir to LeSean McCoy’s throne and some help at the tight end position. Not to worry, Buffalo has nine opportunities to draft in 2019.

As the Bills season continues to roll along, the team will find out more and more about what type of identity they want, while also figuring out the needs they have to address in 2019.

Exciting times are ahead for Buffalo and it will be here faster than you know it.
