After trading No. 1 wideout Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans earlier this month, the Buffalo Bills are reportedly expected to go to great lengths to find his replacement in the 2024 NFL draft.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Bills figure to "basically scour the Earth" to find a new weapon at wide receiver for quarterback Josh Allen in the draft.

Fowler added that the Bills "love" Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze and "loosely know what it would take" to move up from No. 28 overall in the first round to select him.

Even so, Fowler does not anticipate the Bills trading up for Odunze due to the amount of draft capital they would have to part with to make it happen.

Buffalo shocked the football world in early April when it dealt Diggs, a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick to Houston for the Minnesota Vikings' 2025 second-round pick.

Some cryptic posts on social media had suggested that Diggs was perhaps no longer happy in Buffalo, but still, trading him meant moving Allen's No. 1 target and a player who was a four-time Pro Bowler in Buffalo and had at least 100 catches and 1,100 yards in each of his four seasons with the Bills, while winning four straight AFC East titles as well.

Although Diggs' production plummeted in the second half of last season, trading him left Buffalo with a highly suspect receiving corps led by free-agent signing Curtis Samuel and Khalil Shakir, who impressed by catching 86.7 percent of the passes thrown to him last season.

Samuel and Shakir are quality pieces, but the Bills still need a true No. 1, or at least someone who can command some defensive attention and open things up for everyone else.

There are seemingly three receivers in the 2024 draft who stand out above the rest in Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr., LSU's Malik Nabers and Odunze. All of them appear highly likely to go in the top 10, but if one of them falls more than expected, it could open the door for Buffalo to strike with a trade up.

However, wide receiver is considered an extremely deep position in this year's draft, and there are a ton of wideouts who could be a good fit for the Bills if they stay at No. 28, including LSU's Brian Thomas Jr., Texas' Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell, South Carolina's Xavier Legette, Georgia's Ladd McConkey, Florida State's Keon Coleman, Oregon's Troy Franklin and a host of others.

In the BR NFL Scouting Department's latest mock draft, the Bills are projected to stay at No. 28 and take Coleman, giving them the tall X receiver they currently lack on the roster.

Regardless of who they take and whether they trade up, down or stand pat at No. 28, it seems like a safe bet that the Bills will come out of the first two rounds of the draft with at least one wideout and possibly even two.
