Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane doesn't believe the Bills need a true No. 1 wide receiver

The Buffalo Bills are a team that many seem to already have their draft plans figured out.

After trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, the Bills are without a No. 1 perimeter receiver.

This lack of go-to target makes it easy to point at Buffalo as a team that will all but certainly take a receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft. However, general manager Brandon Beane says he thinks Buffalo can succeed without a legitimate No. 1 receiver.

"What [we] need are guys that are smart, versatile, selfless, and can make the plays that their skill set allows them to make," Beane said.

Brandon Beane does NOT believe the #Bills 'need' a true No. 1 wide receiver this season.

That type of skillset that Beane describes is likely why they went out and signed a guy like Curtis Samuel, who can be used in a variety of ways on the offense.

However, take all of this with a grain of salt. Beane is a smart general manager, and surely recognizes the Bills can't go into the season with Mack Hollins as their top boundary receiver.
