It was no secret that the Buffalo Bills needed help at wide receiver this offseason after parting ways with Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

With the first pick in the second round at Friday's NFL draft (No. 33 overall) they added some, selecting Florida State wideout Keon Coleman. Both Buffalo fans and pundits on social media liked the move:

Reports had circulated that the Bills might have interest in a trade for San Francisco 49ers' star Deebo Samuel, though NFL insider Jordan Schultz noted yesterday that such a deal was "highly unlikely."

So the Bills pivoted to the draft. Josh Allen will now have Coleman, Curtis Samuel and Khalil Shakir at wide receiver and both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox at tight end. It's not as dangerous as the group he had last year—Diggs is a four-time Pro Bowler and gave the Bills an explosive weapon on the outside—but it's certainly a start.

As for Coleman, the B/R NFL Scouting Department graded him as a late first-round or early second-round prospect and ranked him No. 22 overall in this year's draft class, calling him a "throwback X receiver

Per that scouting report, his big frame allows him to be physical and assertive at the point of attack while the ball is in the air, making him a threat in the red zone or across the middle of the field. He doesn't have elite speed at the position, but he's still a weapon down the field and after the catch.

Coming into the draft, the Bills had a purging of veterans in an effort to create salary-cap space. That left them with a number of holes to fill, none more pressing than wide receiver, and the team quickly added more draft capital on Thursday night, trading back twice.

The first deal came with the rival Kansas City Chiefs, with Buffalo sending the Nos. 28, 133 and 248 picks in exchange for Nos. 32, 95 and 221. The team then sent Nos. 32 and 200 to the Carolina Panthers for Nos. 33 and 141.

The Bills still need to hit on those picks, of course. But Buffalo is clearly attempting to transition on the fly, replacing more expensive, veteran talent with younger, cheaper options while trying to not waste Allen's prime years.

If draftees like Coleman end up being difference-makers for the Bills, general manager Brandon Beane is going to look like a magician. If not, he may end up having an unhappy quarterback on his hands.
