    NeverOutNick's Annual WR Rankings

    5.      Brain Thomas Jr – Deep ball phenom. He may not have the whole route tree mastered (I didn’t see many slants or come back type routes) but if you want to take the top off the defense, this is the dude. Thomas is impressive in the redzone as well as he high points the catch. Great straight line speed and a physical, big target with room to develop. He’s the James Cook of WRs with his agility and speed but he has concentration issues that costs him some dropped balls. He also needs to secure the ball better or he will have fumbling issues in the NFL. I love his upside and with the right WR coach, the dude has top 10 NFL WR talent if he can develop the rest of the route tree.

     


     

    Anyone named Brain is the smart pick.  Right @Einstein?

    Rumor: Bills trying aggressively to move up for a WR in round one

    No imo

     

    There's a lot more to getting a second contract from the team that drafted you than whether you performed well or not


    I agree.  For a 4th round pick, I’d say Gabe Davis generally was worth that pick or better, for the four years he was with us.  But when time was up, another team was able and willing to pay him more for his services than the Bills.  WRs are getting paid big-time in the league right now.

     

    Plus, it’s also possible more WRs are out of the league after a few years than OL, given speed is a bigger part of a WR’s game while things like strength are bigger part of an O-lineman’s game.  This would mean teams should be drafting WRs more regularly, and not necessarily re-signing them.

    1st Round Draft Poll...WWBD (what will Beane do)?

    I think trade up to early 20’s to draft a WR.  Either to draft BJT who has slipped (which I highly doubt happens), or there’s a run on WRs, Beane is going to get antsy and want to move up.  Maybe he stays pat if BJT doesn’t slip, and there’s not a 5th WR off the board until like pick 23 or later.  If there is a run on WRs, smart thing is probably to stand pat and take BPA or trade down, but going to be hard given WR needs.

    How many passes could you complete?

    I call BS on 100% of them! There are 3rd and PS guys in the league who are worlds better than any poster on here and let’s be honest, even they would struggle to get 11+ completions. I’m hoping every single one of those people who voted 11+ (even 6-10) votes that way as a joke 


    I’m holding out the possibility that there is a current or ex college/NFL level QB lurking on these boards 😆😆…

    Draft, Here’s What’s Going to Happen

    Cooper DeJean could be our pick, did you see Beane light up when asked about him in his presser? He immediately grabbed his water and also referred to meeting him as 'a joy'. He looked like he was trying to hide excitement. Hard to pick a S/CB in the first but if he is an Ed Reed then I'm all for it. Great returner 


    Here’s what will happen then.  This board goes into full panic mode and insists all Friday that Beane must be planning to trade up in the 2nd to get our guy at WR.  We land someone decent and board instantly is put at ease, calling Beane a wizard.

    I have a similar view on him. I could be wrong, and I hope I am if the Bills draft him, but I see a kid that might not be built to be the guy at WR...which is what will be expected of him from the fans...especially if we trade up and use more draft capital on him than just pick 28.

     

    I actually would have been more inclined to draft him had we kept Diggs so he could be brought along slowly without major expectations in 2024. This kid will have an insane amount of pressure on him to perform out the gate, and Josh's prime will be dependent on him developing also. I just don't think it's a good move given the current state of this team.


    You don’t think BTJ would be an instant upgrade over Gabe Davis, plus with upside to become a WR1?  If Josh was able to make players like Robert Foster look good 6 years ago, I’m very confident Josh will figure out how to click with a WR as athletic as any he’s played with.  Josh was able to click with Gabe pretty well in his rookie season too, unfortunately Gabe didn’t develop much beyond that year. The way Daniels would ad lib and find BTJ for big plays, totally can see Josh doing the same and more.

    I agree on that. But I still think Odunze and Nabors will be clearly better than most of this class. I’m not sold on MHJ actually. And of course a lot has to do with where guys get drafted, their situations, their teams, their QBs, their coaches. Someone will do a lot better in Buffalo than they would on Vegas for example imo. 


    From the videos I’ve seen, I like the athletic upside of Brian Thomas Jr. more than MHJ.  But like you said, lots of variables will play into each guy’s NFL success.
