5 NFL teams that should trade for David Njoku from Browns

David Njoku trade landing spot No. 3. Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen was never really linked to the Cleveland Browns, but just like Sam Darnold, he was a hot quarterback in the 2018 NFL Draft. No one ever thought Allen would go first to Cleveland, but there were some who liked the idea of them taking Penn State running back Saquan Barkley at No. 1 overall and then using their next pick, which was the fourth overall, on Wyoming’s Allen.
Of course, that was never happening considering Cleveland’s desperate need for a quarterback. They were never going to do anything but take the best signal-caller at No. 1 but it was an interesting theory to float out there.
Allen ended up landing with the Buffalo Bills, who took him at No. 7 overall, and he quickly became their starter. Out of the three quarterbacks taken in the top-7 (Baker Mayfield, Darnold, and Allen), the Bills gun-slinger has had the most success in terms of wins and losses.
Overall, Buffalo is 15-12 with Allen starting and even made the postseason in 2019. However, he has the most concerns about his ability to throw the ball as he has a completion percentage of just 56.3 for his career.
The Bills are trying to help him improve in this area, showing great commitment by trading for Stefon Diggs. Now, they have a chance to add someone like David Njoku, who would give them another proven pass catcher.
Buffalo currently has Dawson Knox who was good as a rookie but is still very raw as a pass-catcher. Adding Njoku would give them two athletic pass-catchers at the position, which in turn helps Allen maximize his own talent.
