Bills Urged To Add ‘Speedy Threat’ For Josh Allen

The Buffalo Bills' offense last season was one of the best in football, with Joe Brady's "everybody eats" mantra fueling what was Josh Allen's best-ever season, which culminated with an MVP trophy.

But something was missing from the offense-a genuine No. 1 receiver after Stefon Diggs left for the Houston Texans. Still, the unit fared well in 2024 without him, but more is needed.

Josh Palmer was signed in free agency to a three-year deal to bring some much-needed speed to the offense and give Allen a home-run threat...but what if the Bills add another?

In giving a piece of advice to each of the 32 NFL teams, Bleacher Report thinks Buffalo should look to draft Utah State speed merchant Jalen Royals.

"Draft a speedy deep threat like Jalen Royals and watch Josh Allen go from a dynamic MVP quarterback to a record-breaking passer in an electric offense," Bleacher Report writes.

Boasting 4.42 speed, Royals has home-run ability written all over him.

A smooth athlete, Royals in 2023 posted 1,080 yards and 15 touchdowns before 834 yards and six touchdowns in seven games last year before a foot injury ended his season, so health is something to watch.

Seen as a dynamic play-maker, inserting Royals into a Bills offense with Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Palmer, Keon Coleman, Dawson Knox, and Dalton Kincaid might mean his opportunities are limited, but Brady will surely have a plan to use Royals as more than a gadget guy.

It's not likely to be a high pick, but Royals appears to offer some nice value in the later rounds and give Allen some serious speed on the outside.
