    I still don't get the lack of interest in receiver though.

     

    I'm starting to wonder just a bit that they may be planning to trade for a veteran.  After all the pre-draft work,  to come out of here empty is odd.

  2. For these next three upcoming Bills picks,  LB Chris Paul seems like a good bet.  WR is really thin,  so it's probably now or never.  By contrast, there are still some solid CB prospects on the board,  and I think they may do well to take advantage of it.  So picks 170, 173 and 177 I expect to be LB,  WR and CB,  in some order.

    It is irresponsible to completely ignore WR. 

     

    Shakir-slot

    Joshua Palmer- is he our #1?

    Keon- is he our #2?

    Samuel-been hurt most of his career

     

    Who is our 5th?

     

    Shenault

    Hamler

    Shavers

    Virgil

     

    5 WR- Amari-Mack+Palmer = 4 WR

     

    Doesn't Josh deserve better Beane?

     

    Don't worry.  Beane has a 5'8 165lb receiver nicknamed 'Speedy' all lined up for R5.  Sure,  he ran a 4.7 at his Pro Day and he had a 20% drop rate,  but we should be damn happy he ran that 40.  He wouldn't be available here if he hadn't.  

  4. Yes and no. 

     

    No,  because you have to give the rookies some time to develop.  The defensive linemen,  in particular,  are probably going to need a year or two before they really start making an impact. 

     

    But I also say yes,  because I think the fans are going to start getting impatient soon,  especially if the offense takes a significant step back this year.

    Looks like the Bills are banking on a healthy Curtis Samuel instead of picking a WR......I hope they know what they are doing, but that isn't something I would bank on.

     

    They did an awful lot of pre-draft work at WR to not be interested.  Plus,  we know it's bitten them in the ass twice recently when they had to trade for Cooper last year and also sign Beasley and Brown in November a couple of years ago.  

     

    I still think they'll add one or two before the draft is over,  but part of me is also starting to wonder if they go full defense in the draft and then trade for a guy before training camp.  Maybe they're in on the rumored Jameson Williams trade or somethjng?  I don't know,  but it seems odd.

    from PFF

     

    Pros
    Very quick first step for a player of his size
    Has a baseline for a variety of pass-rush moves
    Has the length to play 3-4 DE
    Hand usage is quick despite also very long length
    Good natural power in his upper body

     

    Cons
    Not a lot of weight in his lower half despite weighing 340 pounds — ankles/calves are skinny
    High-waisted build makes it tougher for him to sit in his stance with leverage/power
    Pops up quickly out of his stance
     

     

     

    I think they're basically getting a younger version of Jordan Phillips.

    Weird how so many people hate him! He seems perfect. What’s the knock?

     

    My concern is that,  at his height,  he may have trouble with playing too high and losing the leverage battle in the run game. 

     

    But, he does have potential,  especially with a year or two of coaching and time in the strength and conditioning program.
