  1. Updated WR depth chart ad see it:

     

    WR1 S Watkins '17 > S Watkins '16

    WR2 Rookie '17 < R Woods '16

    WR3 P Brown '17 > M Goodwin 16

    WR4 A Holmes 17 } Hunter/Easley/Harvin '16

    WR5 B Tate '17 < B Tate '16

    WR6 W Powell '17 < W Powell '16

    WR7 Everyone else

     

    On the whole I think we're better if Sammy can play a full season and Holmes replaces Hunter's red zone prescense and Easley's ST coverage. Yet asking a rookie to replace Woods is asking a lot. Also think Listenbee could be a surprise guy that might replace Tate as our primary return specialist and might be better as might offer more in receiving game as a poor man's Goodwin.

  2. Buffalo had the #1 rush offense the last 2 years, why wouldn't a team be interested in Gillislee? Denver could stand some help in the run department, a lack of it really affected their offense and Tampa needs help as well. I don't think that it's too far of a reach for a team like them to step up and consider a proven veteran RB that wouldn't break the bank for them.

    Part of it's ego as am sure other teams feel they can get something better than Mike in a 5th Round pick or something similar for less cap a space and less NFL mileage. Also he doesn't play much on special teams which limits his value too. That said he's a valuable player here and hope we lock him up to a three year deal as our primary backup.
  3. So, I'm trying to figure this out: What is the status with Holmes at the moment? Thanks.

    He's unsigned, the Bills offer (which was originally was reported as a signed contract) was leaked to the media. Yet he might be coming to visit the team and sign said offer. I would have to think he'd sign it because of his twitter post had phrases like "yet" or "at the moment" which is just a matter of crossing the t's and dotting the i's.

  4. I think it's a little more complicated than that. If it was that easy, Air Raid QB's would have a high success rate in the NFL but they don't. I really can't think of an Air Raid QB that succeeded in the NFL....that's why Mahomes scares me. Air Raid is probably the most simple offense to run in college football. It's a system that isn't based on progressions....

    Mahomes is probably the best physical prospect in the draft in terms of arm strength. That said you make up some good points why he may struggle. Personally I think Nate Peterson is the best pro ready QB in this class. I know he lacks arm strength but that isn't the most important skill to excel in the NFL.

  5. Wide receivers named Mike Williams have also disappointed in the NFL.

    The Mike Williams we traded for actually had a great rookie year.

    If he doesn't get separation and isn't wide open Taylor will never pass him the football.

    Most WRs take three years to reach their full potential, Tyrod's new deal seems to be making him a bridge QB for two years. It might be wise to take Williams (assuming one of the two Safety prospects are off the board).

  6. Antenna doesn't work? I know CBS allows an All Access app that have to pay for it but a better option might be the Playstation Vue will give you ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox ondemand content and live broadcast in very select markets. Yet think works on the Amazon fireTVstick which might not be what you have?

  7. I can't use a direct tv dish because I live in the woods.. so, I called direct tv and asked this question. I was transferred three times and nobody would answer my question. I've looked online and it doesn't look like direct tv streams it on line. Does anybody have a definitive yes or no on this topic? Thanks in advance.

    I doubt it as most sports networks don't let you stream outside your home without a dedicated app and/or additional subscription which MSG doesn't offer. For example I can watch MSG (WNY) on my home internet connection from Spectrum/TWC website but not when am outside the house.

  8. Mike Evans had a bad 40 time and he's turned out fine

    Evans ran a 4.53 per http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/Mike-Evans?id=2543468. Evans a little bigger than Williams at 6'5 235 compared to 6'4 214 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/mike-williams?id=2557966 I wish Corey Davis ran just to see how fast he is because he looks a little more fluid than Williams in highlights but the MAC vs ACC is quite different in terms of level of competition. My personal draft board for the Bills is Davis, Hooker, Evans and trade down for best CB or if Davis is there take him.

  9. Who? The Bills have receiver depth. They need a #2 WR. There are only a handful (being generous) guys that check that box. That was more my point. You aren't finding a #2 in this draft after round 2 unless you get lucky. You can't bank on getting lucky.

    Think of him like Dion Lewis

    We might be waiting to splurge on a WR2 later in UFA pending how draft goes.
