Rasul played better than White. We have our #1, granted his contract over after this season but can't see us passing a top end X WR.
I agree completely. I'm not sure the Bills see it that way.

Now the Phins take Worthy....... but if they're smart they go Barton or JPJ
If they take Worthy, I'd give it about a 95% chance that the Bills are going to take a CB.

He was replaced by a better player.
I agree. I'm just saying that's how they would justify it. In reality, its because they can't help themselves.

Maybe the goal is to have ANY WR on the field a threat to be lined up anywhere and to be potentially be motioned. That kind of interchangeability WAS a founding principle of early E-P passing concepts. Interchangeability. TEs and RBs included, ideally.
That's the idea.

I’m not really going to understand a CB pick unless we are viewing Douglas as a short term player, or kicking someone who is currently a CB to S.
The Bills argument would be that they just lost their #1 CB in Tre White and desperately need another one or we're totally doomed.

The Bills are fine still as long as BTJ and Worthy are on the board there shouldn’t even be a thought of moving up yet
Pfft...everyone in the Bills' draft room is hyperventilating watching these DBs fall.

Do you trade up for Dallas turner though?
I wouldn't. I worry that any DE will end up buried as the #4 this year.

Delighted for Latu with everything he has been through. Has been my EDGE1 all the way through the process. That kid can rush the passer.
He was the only DE I'd have wanted the Bills to draft in R1, contingent on the medicals.

Oh thank goodness. I did NOT want the Bills to make that huge trade up.

Bears pick is in. I have to think that's Odunze.

Huge reach for a team that doesn't need a QB at 8. Wow.

That guy seems thrilled to go to the Chargers.

I'm also of the belief that it'll be Ladd McConkey if they keep the 28th pick. I see him as the best overall fit for the type of player they seem to value at WR.
I'm a little uncertain of the R2 pick. I could see it as WR again, DL or DB. I do think most of the 4th-7ths will be defense. In general, though, I expect a quality approach to the offense, quantity on defense.

Here's the outcome if that happens - in one year we'll play the Chiefs in the divisional round. Chop Robinson or Cooper DeJean or whoever else will be invisible as the Chiefs casually move the ball up and down the field at will. Josh Allen will stand on his head and do backflips to keep us in the game but we'll ultimately fall short because no one else on offense cared to make a play. People will say "why can't Josh Allen beat Mahomes?" McDermott will have a presser that week talking about how hard it is to win and how close we are. Next year around draft time the usual suspects will say "we can't focus only on WRs, we have too many needs." Rinse and repeat.
If you don't know for a fact that this would be the outcome of picking a non-WR with our first pick, you're lying to yourself.
Same **** every year.
I'm not going to say they absolutely have to draft a WR in R1 and obviously I don't know how they have their board graded. But otherwise, I agree. If you want to prevent that scenario you described with a defensive pick, you're going to need to draft an all pro at 28. Realistically, well, good luck with that.

I am of the unpopular opinion that drafting a WR in the first round is not a foregone conclusion. I don't imagine that Beane will ever make a draft choice out of panic. But, if a CB, or DE, whom they grade higher than the remaining WRs at #28, falls to them, don't be surprised if that is their pick. And as glaring a need as WR is, it most certainly gives me pause to think that after the starting five of Benford, Douglas, Johnson, Rapp, and Edwards, the best remaining defensive back on the team is Cam Lewis.
If this draft is as deep in WRs as the pundits say, it shouldn't be surprising that they might get the best value with their first two picks by waiting until the second round to draft a WR.
I don't think it's a certainty that they draft a WR at all. I think that Latu and DeJean will be two players the Bills would be highly interested in, though Latu would have some medical questions.
As for the WR depth...if they go another direction at 28, I think it likely forces a trade up in R2. There's good depth at WR, but once the run starts, they're going to fly off the board quick, and it's going to be getting very thin around the middle of R2.
51 minutes ago, HappyDays said:I'm not dismissing the other issues. I'm accepting that constant investment at the same positions, to the detriment of the WR room, has not been a successful strategy. Draft a pass rusher at 28, it won't make a difference in the playoffs. You know it and I know it. Adding a WR will make a difference.
Late 1st round DEs scare the hell out of me, anyway, but I'd be particularly concerned right now that a rookie would end up buried as the #4 on the depth chart, average 8 plays per game and have two sacks and a dozen tackles by the end of the year.

Odunze to the Jets, Worthy to the Dolphins will send this board into a tailspin...
As long as it doesn't send the Bills' front office into panic mode to go after a CB...

Ricky Pearsall. I think he's a top 40 or so player in this draft, but I wouldn't be surprised if he sneaks into the end of the 1st.

Ran a 4.41 while sick.
Strange fruit, these "experts" are.
As if a 4.41 isn't fast.
It confirms what he did on the field. He's fast. He runs by people.

He is, IMO, the best route runner in the draft. Every route he does is crisp and clean. It's Diggs-like.
You don't get compared to Terrell Owens for nothing. We can have Samuel for deep balls, I want Odunze because he can be dangerous where Josh is dangerous - comebacks, posts, and hitch routes.
I don't really see it with Odunze. He is quick through his routes and I think he'll be a good possession receiver, but I didn't see much speed or downfield separation. I liked Polk better on the downfield stuff. Hands and adjustment on contested catches is good, not great. Not impressed with the QB at all on a lot of throws to Odunze, so that his a factor, but I don't see a top 10 kind of prospect. Admittedly, this was more an initial impression from a casual watch of all of his targets this year. I don't think the Bills have a realistic shot at him anyway.
Now, that being said, I realize I'm just some guy watching this crap at home on his couch. What the hell do I know? I've been wrong before, and generally, if I'm against the popular opinion, I tend to think I'm wrong. But that's my quick impression.

what if he has to have shoulder surgery and misses the whole season?Well, then they're screwed.
With the WR depth chart being what it is, whomever they select damn well better be able to produce at least at a halfway decent level this year.

I love Kincaid but they could’ve easily got Addison. I had to listen to someone on WGR the other day say they really wanted him.
I mean? Ok. He was only a few picks away. Let me say this, I think Addison, Flowers, and JSN would be the 4th WR this year.
There were a lot of rumors last year regarding the Bills interest in Addison, in particular, but all three were top 30 visits.

That’s so ***** bad. Damn near impossible to win when your D is that bad. For a guy that says “we gotta win the turnover battle” every time Josh throws an INT, his D sure the ***** ain’t making that easy.
Throw some more money and high picks at it. I'm sure it'll be different this time.

Any trade for an established receiver just got more expensive..
Amon-Ra just got 4/120 with 77 guaranteed
It also provides more incentive for the teams drafting ahead of us to draft a highly rated rookie WR themselves rather than trade down. And, of course, more expensive to convince them otherwise.

Thank goodness. I absolutely did not want Chop Robinson. Can't get to the QB in college, usually won't happen in the NFL.
