    John Ross had 81 catches for 1100 yards and 17 TD's his senior year.

     

    I don't like Worthy's build, too slight- especially in the legs

     

    I also have concerns about his durability.

    They're all going to be gone by the 3rd round. After watching today, we won't have the luxury to wait till the 4th round to get our 2nd wr.

     

    These guys are all going to go higher than expected.   If the Bills don't get one of the better prospects by R2,  they're not going to,  and even that may be a stretch.

    His weight doesn’t matter. Andy Reid is probably seeing DeSean Jackson all over again. I think he goes to the Chiefs. They already have their X in Rice.

     

    I'd consider it an injury red flag,  but I'm not sure it would scare me away at 28.  Just get a damn playmaker.  If they want a more traditional #2 WR,  they can follow up in R2 or 3.

    You can't ignore the ridiculous quality and quantity of wrs this draft. If it's me, I'm drafting wr at 28 & 60. I'm telling Sean he's going to have to make do with rounds 3, 4, 5 for defense.  Hopefully the 1st round wr replaces Gabe immediately and can transition to WR1.  And the 2nd round guy can assume the WR2 role. Whatever cap $ we have to spend,  use it on defense. 

     

    I'd consider it as well,  and to add to the point,  the insane cost of veteran WR contracts also factors into that.  If you can get two high level WR prospects out of this draft and have them on rookie contracts for 4-5 years,  with Josh Allen throwing to them,  it would make a lot of sense from a cap perspective to do it.

    Because like I said, the Combine records are littered with Track stars that didn't translate to the next level.

     

    I want to see that he can do things at the same level where it counts compared to everyone else. 

     

    If he were to drop a ball or wasn't the best gauntlet of the bunch, not the end of the world. It's not going to drop him. Just show you can do the drills at a solid level.

     

    Straight line speed is great. But I want to see he's a complete WR and a guy with competitiveness. If you're good at it, you should have no reason not to do it. It would raise him even more if he did.

     

    On one hand, I get it from an Agent standpoint. He still has his Pro Day to show these things. But that's a completely controlled environment and lacks the comparison to the rest of the class.

     

    Just disappointing to see.

     

    I don't think it really matters.  If he runs a 4.21,  it's a good bet that he's going to run the other drills reasonably well.  And there's also the game film and productivity.  In terms of athleticism,  the only real question was whether or not the rumored downfield speed was real.  And now we know that it is. 

     

    The only real concern I have with him is that he's 165lbs and it IS a pretty significant one.

    If I was his agent I'd pull him immediately.

     

    Agreed,  and it's highly unlikely that a guy who posts a time like that is going to fall on his face in the other agility drills.  Maybe he doesn't post the best times of the group,  but they're almost certain to be good.  There's not much else he's going to gain from it,  either,  and there's always the risk of a freak injury.

    Worthy 4.25  wow

     

    Worthy was my top realistic pick for the Bills before the weigh ins.  Now,  I may have to put him back in that spot,  despite it.  They could follow up with a more traditional 2nd WR in R2 or 3.

    100% true... But that's also why Boldin went 54 overall, Kupp went 69, and Nacua went 177... B-)

     

    There are also a whole lot more that ran in the 4.6s and never did anything.

    I like Worthy a lot.  He’s also a very good punt returner.

     

    assuming Thomas Jr is gone, my top 3 are:

     

    1 Worthy

    2 Franklin

    3 Lagette

     

    The more I watch,  the higher I rate Worthy.  The weight is a concern,  though,  if 170-ish is true.  I also suspect he'll come in at 5-10 or 5'11,  but that doesn't bother me as much.  Speed, short area burst and separation would be my priority.

  9. It seems like their longterm plan for Shakir is to leave him in the slot role.  They still need another starting level WR on the outside.

     

    Either way,  it doesn't matter.  Even if he can play outside,  that means they need a slot guy.  They run enough 3 WR sets that they need a quality player there,  too.  It really just affects the type and role of the player needed,  but the degree of need would be the same.

    I hope 5 sacks a year isn't "as good as he is"......

     

    I think he had a foot injury for awhile this year.  Regardless,  6-8 per year is about what I'd expect of a 'good' LDE and I think Rousseau will likely average in that range yearly until age and injuries become a long term factor.  

     

    That 20-32 area tends to be fool's gold when it comes to DE.  Not always,  but too many of them never do anything.  I'm just glad Rousseau has been a productive starter.   

     

  11.  Mario Williams was the closest they've had to that since the 90s.  

     

    A truly dominant, disruptive pass rusher is the hardest thing to find with the exception of QB.  It's not impossible to find one outside the top 10 picks,  but the odds are definitely stacked against you.  Greg Rousseau definitely isn't at that level,  but the Bills are damn lucky he's as good as he is.  

  12. Yes,  it was the right decision.  Shakir was open. 

     

    Sure,  in an ideal world,  they could run more clock and still score the TD to win.  In reality,  they may have never gotten the same opportunity to score a TD and Bass may still have missed the FG to tie.   And if that happened, the same people complaining about Josh throwing that pass to Shakir would be complaining that he DIDN'T throw that pass to Shakir.

    Time to bite the bullet and retool completely IMO, I’d look to trade/cut Knox, Miller, Diggs, White, Po, and eat the cap hit, take whatever you get and re-invest in the draft, most of these guys are playing at replacement level anyway, those that aren’t have trade value, take it and get a fresh start Ala KC.

     

    I wouldn't completely gut the thing,  but yes,  I largely agree with that approach.  Unload as much of the dead weight and players in sharp decline as you can and start clearing cap space for FA acquisitions in 2025/2026 (not much they can do for 2024).  That may mean a step back in 2024,  but puts them in a better position afterward.
