NFL Draft rumors: Mike Evans visiting with Buffalo Bills on Tuesday
By Jack Crosby
As the Buffalo Bills continue to try and build up a potent offense, they may be looking to get second-year QB EJ Manuel some more receiving help in next month’s NFL Draft, and they’re taking a close look at that option on Tuesday as they host a visit with heralded Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans.
The visit, according to the Bills’ official website is more than just a formality as they were quick to point out that adding some size to the wide receiver corps is a point of interest for the team.
"Buffalo’s interest in Evans is far from surprising as GM Doug Whaley has said time and again they’d like to add size to their receiving corps. Whether Evans is still on the board when the Bills are on the clock at nine seems iffy at best."
But as you can see, they also pointed out that there is a very good chance that Evans is not there when the team chooses at number nine overall, as he’s viewed as the definitive second wide receiver in the group behind Sammy Watkins.
Along with drafting Manuel last season, the team also took Robert Woods out of USC, so should Evans be there for the Bills to grab, the Buffalo offense could be mighty deadly.
