The Buffalo Bills addressed some of their roster needs in free agency, and the two big names to come through the doors were Joey Bosa and Josh Palmer.
Both fill urgent needs on both sides of the ball as the Bills look to close the gap on the Kansas City Chiefs in the race for the AFC crown.
However, is that enough?
For some, no, as a genuine No. 1 weapon is needed for Josh Allen, but aside from Tyler Lockett or Keenan Allen, those free agents don't exist, and you could make the case that neither of those is a true No. 1 anyway.
But what if the Bills got some more help in the draft? Clutchpoint's Tim Crean has done a seven-round Bills mock draft, and in the first round, goes in a completely different direction than most - he selects Stanford receiver Elic Ayomanor.
"One of the biggest needs is a true No. 1 wide receiver," Crean writes. "Last year's first selection, Keon Coleman, the newly extended Kahlil Shakir, and veterans Josh Palmer, Curtis Samuel, and Laviska Shenault Jr. make for a fine pass-catching group. At 6-foot-2, 206 pounds and running a 4.44-second 40-yard dash has all the measurables you want in an NFL wideout. He is still raw and lacks explosiveness in his routes, but overall, he represents solid upside and would give the Bills one of the biggest, most physical young WR duos in the league with him and Coleman together."
Having put up solid numbers in his two college seasons (1,844 yards, 12 touchdowns from 125 receptions), Ayomanor, for most scouts, is a developmental prospect, but his physicality is something that will make him an interesting option for Buffalo.
Keon Coleman is that receiver already, and in Ayomanor, while he would be down the depth chart, he could develop into a useful backup and possibly more.

Crean did state that taking him in the first is a reach, so we don't envision the Bills using a first-round selection on him, but there is upside.
The Bills need some depth at receiver, and if the franchise can afford to be patient, Ayomanor could be a nice addition to Joe Brady's offense.
