Bills Predicted to Add ‘Explosive’ New WR for Josh Allen
The Buffalo Bills tried to make some additions to their wide receiving corps at the recently passed NFL trade deadline, ultimately falling flat when no teams were willing to partner with them on a deal.
But the Bills could add a talented wide receiver at the next opportunity, with one NFL analyst predicting the team will land one of the top pass-catchers in next year’s draft. The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner predicted the Bills would use their No. 31 overall pick on a versatile and “dangerous” receiver who could fill the void at the top of the depth chart.
Bills Take a Big Swing at Wide Receiver
Baumgardner predicted the Bills would take Texas A&M receiver KC Concepcion, who could add an explosive element the Bills have been lacking in the passing game since the departure of Stefon Diggs.
“When Concepcion’s playing with consistent hands, he’s one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the country,” Baumgardner wrote. “A wide receiver who’s extremely explosive and almost always open, he’d be a lot of fun — and add a weapon on special teams — in Buffalo.”
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler added in October that Concepcion could be the best receiver the Aggies send to the NFL since Mike Evans. After Concepcion’s strong performance against LSU that included a 79-yard punt return, Brugler wrote that he looked like a future top-100 draft pick.
“Texas A&M has sent a lot of players to the NFL over the years, but it has produced only one top-40 pick at wide receiver — Mike Evans. KC Concepcion is playing like a guy who wants to change that,” Brugler wrote. “He was electric against LSU, with or without the ball. He gets off the line in a hurry, shows separation quickness in his routes and then works back to the ball to finish grabs (see his first-quarter touchdown).”
Bills Need Help at Wide Receiver
Though the Bills saw their passing game excel in 2024 around the “everybody eats” concept of spreading the ball out to a wider group of pass catchers, the approach hasn’t been so successful this year. Receivers have often struggled to get open, putting more pressure on quarterback Josh Allen.
Insiders reported that the Bills looked around for help at the recently passed NFL trade deadline, with reports they were interested in Las Vegas Raiders receiver Jakobi Meyers among others, but the deadline passed with no deals for the Bills.
General manager Brandon Beane said other teams were simply not willing to make deals with the Bills, adding that he’s still satisfied with the roster construction.
“I ain’t giving up, but I also believe in our roster, too,” Beane said, via the team’s official website. “I do believe we can win a championship with this roster. We build it in the spring and through the summer, when we cut to 53, I want to at that point have the best team. I don’t really want to need the trade deadline, but I’m always going to look.”
Taylor Frankie Paul ‘Wouldn’t Be Shocked’ If Her Ex, Dakota, Shows Up During ‘Bachelorette’ Journey
After 21 seasons, “The Bachelorette” is taking a bold new turn with a familiar face from the reality TV world.
Taylor Frankie Paul, star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and viral TikTok sensation, was officially named the next Bachelorette. And yes, she’s ready to hand out roses and find her happily ever after.
Now as she gets ready to begin her journey to find love, Taylor has shared that she “wouldn’t be surprised” if another familiar face makes an appearance.
During an interview with “ET," the Bachelorette was asked how she would feel if one of her exes showed up on the show as either a surprise or to try to win her heart.
Taylor confessed, “My first [ex] obviously wouldn’t, he’s married. But second one [Dakota], wouldn’t be shocked.”
The Bachelorette went on and revealed more about why she wouldn’t be shocked, but also how she thinks she would react if Dakota did make an appearance during her journey.
“That is something I don’t know,” she admitted, “I don’t know how I would react because, to me, if he gets out of the limo, I’m like, ‘Cool shocker you’re here! He’s here, he wants to try.’ That wouldn’t shock me, and also kind of the same thing with bad news from him, ‘Shocker! You did it again.’ It’s just like, for me, I wouldn’t be shocked. How I would react? I don’t know.”
Taylor also admitted that it still hasn’t hit her that she is going to be the next Bachelorette.
She shared, “It hasn’t processed yet. I think honestly, if I’m being honest, I don’t think it’s going to process until Night 1, when I’m waiting for that first limo… It hasn’t hit yet, I’ll say that.”
We’re so excited to watch Taylor’s journey to find love unfold on March 22, and we can’t wait to meet all the men who will be vying for her heart!
Will Dakota be one of them? Guess we’ll have to wait and see to find out!
