2019 NFL Mock Draft: Josh Allen rises in full 2-round mock
By Randy Gurzi
9. Buffalo Bills: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
Last season no wide receivers came off the board until the 24th pick. That was when D.J. Moore out of Maryland was selected by the Carolina Panthers. This season, there are more receiver-needy teams in the earlier portion of the draft, so pass catchers shouldn’t have to wait so long to hear their names called.
Here, the Buffalo Bills come calling for a receiver with the No. 10 pick as they decide to place Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry on the field with Josh Allen. Their No. 7 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Wyoming had a decent rookie season, especially considering the lack of weapons he had at his disposal.
Allen still made the most of his chances and really opened some eyes with his ability to move the ball with his legs. The rookie ran for 631 yards and eight touchdowns which was unexpected. Now with a 6-4, 215-pound receiver like Harry, he may be able to do more of the damage with his arm in 2019.
Harry recorded more than 1,000 yards in each of his past two seasons and was especially dangerous after the catch. He will take a lot of pressure off Allen to generate the offense on his own.
