One mock that particularly caught my eye comes from Cynthia Frelund, courtesy of NFL.com, where she has the Buffalo Bills addressing the team\u2019s need at wide receiver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This is Frelund\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/cynthia-frelund-2026-nfl-mock-draft-1-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:first mock;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">first mock<\/a> of the season, and in it she opts for the Bills to select wide receiver Denzel Boston (Washington) with the 26th selection in Round 1. Frelund praises Boston as a red-zone threat and someone who can help Buffalo\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cAt 6-foot-4, Boston has top-tier speed and contested-catch win rates. His 20 touchdowns over the past two seasons also reflect his red-zone skills. He forecasts as a true WR1 for Josh Allen and new head coach Joe Brady.\u201c \u2014 Cynthia Frelund<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Boston would bring an element of size to the Bills\u2019 wide receiver corp, standing 6\u20194\u201d and being listed at 210 pounds. Noted draft expert Lance Zierlein <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/denzel-boston\/3200424f-5367-7861-ab9d-5f16d490ff23\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:compares Boston;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">compares Boston<\/a> to one of the most successful wide receivers in football \u2014 Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams. That\u2019s certainly lofty praise for the redshirt junior, who Zierlein notes is \u201cvery skilled when it comes to winning jump balls and contested throws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The description of Boston sounds like someone Buffalo\u2019s front office thought they drafted when selecting wide receiver Keon Coleman with the first pick in Round 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Coleman\u2019s future with the Bills is certainly top of mind for most fans, and a story line that we\u2019ll continue to monitor throughout free agency and this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Be sure to share your thought\u2019s on the selection of Boston in the comments section below, and if there was another prospect that you would have preferred in Frelund\u2019s latest mock draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the NFL Scouting Combine just days away, the amount of time that I\u2019m spending reviewing mock drafts&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":755124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2048],"tags":[215,214,53,2086,17770,32198,7,8100,2527,58,4002,6,1967,575,1088,3025,671,1473],"class_list":{"0":"post-755123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-buffalo-bills","8":"tag-bills","9":"tag-buffalo","10":"tag-buffalo-bills","11":"tag-buffalobills","12":"tag-cynthia-frelund","13":"tag-denzel-boston","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-keon-coleman","16":"tag-lance-zierlein","17":"tag-los-angeles-rams","18":"tag-mock-draft","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-nfl-scouting-combine","21":"tag-oregon-ducks","22":"tag-puka-nacua","23":"tag-the-bills","24":"tag-washington-huskies","25":"tag-wide-receiver"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116078001085769306","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=755123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/755124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=755123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=755123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=755123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
