The Buffalo Bills are being projected to add this rather risky weapon to help quarterback Josh Allen.
The Buffalo Bills badly need wide receiver help, and everyone knows it. General manager Brandon Beane even admitted it, and Josh Allen is surely hoping for it.
So with the Bills owning the 26th overall pick of the NFL Draft, the prevailing thought is that they will be selecting a receiver.
But who will they actually land?
This is a deep wide receiver class, so there should be no shortage of options for Buffalo. But one name keeps surfacing for Buffalo in speculation: Texas A&M Aggies wide receiver KC Concepcion.
Numerous mock drafts are projecting the Bills to land Concepcion with their top pick, even at the expense of 6-foot-4 Washington Huskies star Denzel Boston.
Ian Cummings of Pro Football Network, for example, feels that Concepcion brings a specific skill that would help him thrive under Joe Brady.
"The Bills’ transition under Joe Brady will be successful if they can do one thing on offense: acquire WRs who can actively separate independently against press coverage," Cummings wrote. "That’s been Buffalo’s worst offensive deficiency, and it’s something KC Concepcion can assist with."
Concepcion hauled in 61 receptions for 919 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025, averaging a robust 15.1 yards per catch.
However, there are serious questions about his ability to translate his game the professional level.
For one thing, Concepcion is small at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds. That entails he will likely be a slot receiver in the NFL, which is where he spent the bulk of his time in college.
Khalil Shakir already fills that role for the Bills, with 59.1 percent of his snaps coming in the slot this past season. So there could be some redundancy there.
Concepcion also does not have the surest hands in the world, and for such a small weapon, he doesn't exactly have the best speed. He's far from slow, but he is not a Tyreek Hill type of track star capable of stretching the field.
Whether or not Concepcion can actually develop into a versatile, do-it-all threat in the pros is debatable, and if Boston is on the board when Buffalo picks at No. 26, it would be sketchy if the Bills decided to roll with the former over the latter.
