Denzel Boston is considered one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. Surely, any team looking for a talented playmaker would love to get him. How about the Buffalo Bills? Luke Easterling<\/a> of Athlon Sports released a mock draft that has the former Washington star relocating to Western New York:<\/p>\n

\u201c26. Buffalo Bills – Denzel Boston WR Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buffalo could be a trade-down candidate thanks to their lack of a second-round pick, but despite trading<\/a> that selection for DJ Moore, they could still use their first-rounder to add another high-end weapon to help out Josh Allen. <\/a>Boston would bring a completely different dynamic to the passing game compared to Moore\u2019s skill set, giving Allen that above-the-rim presence that can dominate in contested-catch situations, and especially in the red zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bills could use another pass-catcher. In this year\u2019s draft, the wide receiver position is filled with playmakers who are ready to contribute immediately and could still be available during the later stages of the first round. Denzel Boston, Texas A&M\u2019s KC Concepcion<\/a>, and Indiana\u2019s Omar Cooper<\/a> Jr. all good candidates. <\/span>Will Boston end up in Buffalo? It’s certainly possible.<\/p>\n

His Career Thus Far<\/h3>\n

Denzel Boston starred at Emerald Ridge High School in Puyallup, Washington. He recorded 105 receptions, 1,572 yards, and 23 touchdowns during his high school career. He then committed to the University of Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his first two years at Washington, Boston played behind current NFL <\/span>receivers Rome Odunze<\/a>, Jalen Macmillan, and Ja’Lynn Polk<\/a>. However, he became a starter in 2024. That year, Boston led the Huskies with 807 receiving touchdowns <\/span>and nine receiving touchdowns. He was also named honorable mention All-Big Ten by coaches and the media.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boston played 12 games in 2025, catching 62 passes for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had a great performance in the LA Bowl, recording six catches for 126 yards and a touchdown. In addition, Boston was named a<\/span> third-team All-Big Ten selection. He then <\/span>declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should the Bills Draft Him?<\/h3>\n

As Easterling pointed out, Buffalo traded for wide receiver D.J. Moore<\/a> this offseason. The former Carolina Panther and Chicago Bear is a quality veteran. He has recorded at least 800 receiving yards in six of his eight NFL seasons.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

But although the Bills have already acquired Moore, the team will likely still consider drafting a wide receiver in the first round. Buffalo\u2019s wide receiver unit generated the ninth-fewest yards in the league last season. No, that’s not very good at all.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Selecting Boston could help the team out. He\u2019s a tall receiver (6\u20193 1\/2\u201d)\u00a0with a large catch radius and big hands. He\u2019s also known to run crisp routes and had a drop rate of only just 2.5% in college.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, Bills quarterback Josh Allen<\/a> failed to get to the Super Bowl once again. The former NFL MVP needs all the help he can get for Buffalo to finally take the next step. While Denzel Boston is no Prime Jerry Rice, he can surely help Allen and Co. in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
