Thats my tweet on Njoku a while ago. I still really like the player and he's a tremendous value right now in terms of the draft capital it would likely take to acquire him
He definitely needs to step up and in large part hasn't met expectations. That being said we haven't exactly put him in a position to succeed certainly last year.
This year is huge.
I dont have the numbers...maybe you do, but perhaps he hasn't used a big nickle with the Bills because we haven't had one?
I can't recall who played that part in Carolina either.
Its a very deep WR class so we should get some great value by adding one of these guys.
I'm just a little surpised at how much we continue to add to the group.
But I guess at some point Beasley and Sanders will be replaced.
A lot of these guys are definitely skilled enough to rush the passer along with 3DL or as a blitzer with what the Bills do on D.
The Bills stick to a 4DL alignment pretty much in most situations.
Correct. Mostly used to cover the TE as well as pass catching route from the RB's. Skilled enough to occasionally hang with WR's as well.
Its a position that McDermott really loves to use for his D and we are missing that kind of player big time.
