    Choose to be happy and enjoy this hobby - you don't have to let it make you angry.  I promise you'll have a better time if you commit to avoiding negativity.

    I do enjoy it, I’m really not that negative. It’s just upsetting these people get to make money doing this stuff when they are barely competent. I’m glad we have Josh Allen, but our WRs and our drafting abilities to find them is severely lacking.

    Well they play outside. The comment was about Nickel Corner being a need. Taron Johnson was playing at a pro bowl level at nickel corner before he got shut down for surgery.

    It also gets my blood boiling. Idiot fans who have no idea what they are talking about. They know like 5 players and if we don't take those 5 players they think the pick is a bad one.

    What gets my blood boiling is losing and not having a WR worth a F over the last 10 years due to ineptness. Some of us have high standards, thankfully Beane seems to be fairly competent, but so far it doesn’t appear to be so for the WR department.

     Do you mean “our“ in terms of the team’s front office or in terms of the posters on this board? Clearly, as some other posters of already said, unlike many of us, the brain trust feels like wide receiver, during the draft, was not that high of a priority. I just hope they are right. 

    Our as in our front office. It’s been years since they have drafted a WR worth the money. I think they have even admitted as much. I just hope Beasley and Brown are the answer, but I’m not excited about it. I honestly have more hope for Foster than those 2.

    And obviously this is all overreaction.  Love Oliver and Ford.  But I worry we are bad at evaluating receivers.  I think we have a Tom Brady receiving core and that isn’t the type of qb Allen is.  I would love to have a guy he could just throw the ball up to and as a big QB, I think he misses high. Size helps that. 

    We are absolutely terrible at evaluating WRs, it’s the worst position and has been for years. Our DBs have been fire though.

    Any concerns I hand were quickly dispelled when I watch his games vs Oklahoma and UCF.  Teams and defense vastly superior in talent he popped off the screen.  

    He was held near the LOS most of the game until a late garbage time score. I understand that the Oline is inferior compared to the OU d-line, but I didn’t come away as impressed as you are.

    We’ll see..  his short burst looks good to me.  That’s far more important in getting to the edge than breakaway speed, which the combine says he lacks even though “game speed” keeps being referenced as indicating otherwise.  

     

    Good point on Allen, as I’m sure teams would be hesitant to do that after Josh keeps the read option and busts a 30 yard run to the outside. 

    I went through and watch most of his in game carries and I could only find like a maximum of like 20 instances where he bounced all the way around to the outside, and that’s against small schools. Almost all of his carries were between the linemen. If I’m drafting a RB in the top 3 rounds, they better be able to bounce it outside and between the linemen as well as catch the ball. This guy is going to be relegated to 1st and 2nd down carries and maybe red zone touches due to his knack at finding the end zone.

    I don’t love the pick, but I also don’t get this criticism.  What does that mean “once teams figure out how to contain him up the middle”? 

     

    Thats up to our OL and blocking scheme to make sure teams can’t do that.  

    If teams plug up the middle enough, he won’t get yards. See what bigger athletes did to Devin during the Oklahoma game. They contained him. He can’t get outside when the lanes aren’t there. Josh Allen could help out Devin though to prevent so much line stacking.
