Josh Allen's WR savior for Bills may come from Ohio State Buckeyes image

TL;DR

  • Buffalo Bills wide receivers struggle to get open, forcing Josh Allen to improvise plays.
  • General Manager Brandon Beane desires a game-changing receiver to win the Super Bowl.
  • ESPN's Matt Miller suggests Ohio State's Carnell Tate as a potential solution for the Bills.
  • Tate possesses the physical tools and technical skills to address the Bills' receiver needs.

The Buffalo Bills' wide receivers can't get open.

Josh Allen is now in a situation where he's attempting to create plays from scratch each time he prepares to throw.

Something has to change, and if it can't change this season, it has to change for the future.

"General manager Brandon Beane is sick of hearing suggestions that the Bills need a No. 1 receiver -- and he'll be sick of it until the Bills either win the Super Bowl or get that game changer," ESPN's Aaron Schatz wrote on Friday.

ESPN's Matt Miller brought a suggestion on Friday: Carnell Tate.

Tate stands out as Ohio State's premier wide receiver ready for the draft. He's partnered with the younger Jeremiah Smith, creating the country's most formidable WR pairing.

"The Bills have struggled to add a true X receiver in the past for quarterback Josh Allen," Miller wrote on Friday. "Tate has the physical tools at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds to body defensive backs and is a technician as a route runner."

Regarding Tate, the primary concern is his availability during the draft. Should the Bills select late in the first round, it's possible Tate won't be available for them.

But if he does, or if there's a trade up opportunity, Tate could be the answer.

The Bills' selection of Keon Coleman in the draft seems to have hindered the future prospects of their wide receiver group. Addressing this issue is crucial, and Tate could be the ideal solution.
