It is no secret that the Buffalo Bills have a big deficit at the receiver position.
It has been a problematic area for the past couple of seasons, and Keon Coleman was supposed to help with that.
But the second-year weapon has been inconsistent and has trouble with consistency both on and off the field to the point where he's been a healthy scratch for some games.
With Josh Allen at quarterback, you can't afford to waste his prime years, and in Mike Renner's latest mock draft for CBS Sports, the Bills take Texas A&M weapon KC Concepcion.
"KC Concepcion is a pure separator, the likes of which the Bills have not had since Stefon Diggs was in his prime," Renner wrote. "That's the biggest missing piece hampering the Bills' offense this season."

Mock draft selection a wake-up call for Keon
Given that Coleman hasn't exactly set the league on fire, if the Bills did do as Renner's mock suggests, and take a receiver in the first round, that would send a serious signal to Keon.
Your time is running out.
Coleman would be in Year 3, and the time for inconsistent performances is over. Plus, if Concepcion starts producing straight away, develops chemistry with Allen, and becomes a key part of the plan, that would make Coleman's position in the offense in doubt.
Conversely, it could light a fire under Coleman, and he could explode, and Allen has two young, star receivers to work with.
Either way, Buffalo taking a receiver in the first round is a sure sign that it might have made a mistake drafting Keon.
