The Buffalo Bills are going into the 2024 season with a much different looking team than they had last season. Most notably, they lost three leaders both on and off the field: Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, and Stefon Diggs.
Buffalo’s offense will need to run through Josh Allen in 2024 more than ever, however, there could be some help on the way in the future.
The Buffalo Bills Suddenly Linked To Blazing Fast Wide Receiver
The 33rd Team released a mock draft for 2025, and they had the Bills taking Isaiah Bond out of Texas:
27) Buffalo Bills
Selection: Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas
Seeing the Buffalo Bills pass on Xavier Worthy just to take Isaiah Bond one year later would be comical, but pairing Bond with Keon Coleman makes more sense than building their passing game solely around Worthy in 2024.
Bond has sub-4.3 speed, high-end playmaking with the ball in his hands, and is a sharper route-runner than Worthy. Still, like Worthy, Bond plays a little too fast and would benefit from throttling his speed to maximize his effectiveness.
Below is Bond’s draft profile from Pro Football Network:
Entering the 2025 NFL Draft cycle, Bond grades out as a top-64 prospect who could ascend into the first-round conversation with a good year at Texas. There’s a void at the WR position for the Longhorns, and it’s one Bond can fill with his dynamic traits.
Physically, Bond has everything he needs to be a stellar three-level threat in the modern game. His blend of explosiveness, speed, and flexibility is extremely conducive to route-running success, and those same mobility traits make him a RAC weapon defenses must respect.
Already, Bond is a fairly smooth and nuanced separator, with an impressive route tree and good alignment versatility. And on the vertical plane, his speed — in tandem with his ball-tracking ability, body control, and steady hands — makes him a dangerous big-play threat.
Bond is a speed threat with separation chops, but he also plays with surprising physicality. In fact, one of his most exciting traits is the authority with which he approaches positioning and how he continually forces defenders to play big with his active hands leading up to catches.
Bond will never be an overwhelming force on pure contested targets, but he has a promising three-level-threat framework, with the “football player” mentality and toughness to tie it all together. More simply put: He’s a big-play threat with the little-play utility to keep the chains moving.
At his peak, Bond can be an impact starter for an NFL offense, and he has the alignment versatility to play as a movement-Z receiver with slot, boundary, and motion capabilities.
It will be interesting to see how the Bills address the future of their wide receiving position. It will certainly need a facelift in the near future in order for the Bills to have a Super Bowl caliber offense.
