The Buffalo Bills traded with the Chicago Bears this offseason to land star wide receiver DJ Moore. But even after adding Moore, Khalil Shakir, and other notable WRs to the roster, the Bills still need help at the position. Keon Coleman is a draft bust, and it's hard to imagine the Bills not planning to move on within the next year. If they do, they're going to need another WR, as Joshua Palmer isn't going to cut it. So, ESPN's Jordan Reid in his recent mock draft has the Bills selecting Indiana WR Nick Marsh, who is a 6-foot-3 WR and could be a great complement to Moore and Shakir for Josh Allen in 2027 and beyond. Bills predicted to take Nick Marsh in ESPN mock draft "31. Buffalo Bills. Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana," Reid predicts. "... The Michigan State transfer is powerful on short-to-intermediate patterns and is not afraid to do the dirty work in the offense. He's competitive in gaining yards after the catch, which would be useful in Buffalo's offense." The Bills have Shakir as the short-area receiver, who is great after the catch on screens and shallow routes. But the Bills need more downfield options, which is why they added Moore. Moore should help, but another good downfield option who can also thrive after the catch, like Marsh, would be a big help for the Buffalo offense.

While the Bills might have needs elsewhere on the roster come the 2027 NFL Draft, taking a good WR like Marsh to help Allen as much as possible in the passing game makes a lot of sense. He'd slide right into Coleman's role in the offense, and more likely than not be an upgrade over the second-round bust who's had a tumultuous career with the Bills.
