I agree with you on Thomas. He is a total one trick pony. It is just he is really good at the one trick and that one trick is one that give you explosive plays that change ball games. I have Legette 4, Thomas 5. I have Worthy 7. I think Worthy in the right offense will be a star. But he is one of the most scheme specific. I can well imagine a team like Carolina taking him and trying to shoehorn him into a traditional WR position in a traditional west coast offense that is all about precision and timing and him struggling to make an impact.
I like comps. Do you have a comp for Thomas in your mind? What about Leggette?
Walterfootball compares Thomas to MVS and Leggette to Breshad Perriman. I would be pretty disappointed in both of those outcomes.
ESPN compared Thomas to Tee Higgins and Leggette to AJ Brown.

oh yea I didn’t mean in the sense that their style is similar but that they are full washouts right now… Isabella having the perk of at least being league minimum pay where burk has the challenge of a $3m salary (not huge, but effects how you manage him)Gotcha! Yes totally. Failed prospect who is more expensive and would cost capital. Same idea.

He’s a more expensive version of Isabella, right? Or has he actually established any presence as a foundation to justify reps beyond his drags position? I’ve not seen a ton of him
I mean they are both failed prospects but Isabella is 3 years older. They are completely different players.
Burks is big and slow and Isabella is tiny and fast.
They both suck. Burks' change of direction scores in the 3 cone and shuttle etc are just awful, no explosion either.
Neither's game translated to the NFL so far.

That would be a bit of a shock....a good one, but not expecting anything. I think he's WR6-7
I agree. I really like Shorter and was happy we drafted him at the time. As much as I like him, expecting anything at all from him is pointless. We have absolutely no idea what he can do and for all we know he is Vosean Joseph…redshirt a year then out of the league. -

Simms loves to be a contrarian... But Thomas is my wr 4, and there's enough distance between him and my #5 (Mitchell) that I'd trade up for him...
I also really like the idea of pairing a proven receiver (Aiyuk) with 1-2 guys in this draft class...
I'll also say this, there's absolutely no one right way for Beane to address wr. There's probably a dozen or more ways to do a good job. And a handful of ways to blow it.
Lots of exciting possibilities, imo... I could see Beane pairing Coleman and Burton, or Legette and Baker.
I just hope they don't fall I love with some guy they know they can get.
Like a Tez Walker. Now, I really like Walker, but I could see them reaching for him because he is a guy they like and they know they can get him. That's what the Kaiir Elam thing felt like to me. Some guy that a lot of people had in round two and they took him in round 1 and traded up for him. To me, that is the only way they blow it. They should be in position to get a pretty good player in the 20s.

So far, I've only seen 2 receivers mentioned that Bills have met with formally at the combine, their pro days and have a top 30 visit scheduled and that's Troy Franklin and Devontez Walker.
What happened to that top-30 tracker thread?
This is all I found:
And this is from Walter Football:
Braelon Allen, Running Back, Wisconsin (COM)
Graham Barton, Offensive Guard, Duke (COM)
Trey Benson, Running Back, Florida State (T30)
Khristian Boyd, Defensive Tackle, Northern Iowa (T30)
Javon Bullard, Cornerback, Georgia (COM)
Calen Bullock, Safety, USC (COM)
Stefan Cobbs, Wide Receiver, Boise State (PRO)
Keon Coleman, Wide Receiver, Florida State (COM)
Cooper DeJean, Safety, Iowa (COM)
Marlon Devonshire^, Cornerback, Pittsburgh (PRO, WOR)
Audric Estime, Running Back, Notre Dame (COM)
Braden Fiske, Defensive Tackle, Florida State (COM)
Troy Franklin^, Wide Receiver, Oregon (COM, WOR)
Frank Gore Jr., Running Back, Southern Miss (COM)
Jalyx Hunt, Outside Linebacker, Houston Baptist (COM)
Curtis Jacobs, Inside Linebacker, Penn State (COM)
Kamren Kinchens, Safety, Miami (COM)
Marshawn Kneeland, Defensive End, Western Michigan (T30)
Kamari Lassiter, Cornerback, Georgia (COM)
Xavier Legette, Wide Receiver, South Carolina (COM)
Jalen McMillan, Wide Receiver, Washington (COM)
Adonai Mitchell, Wide Receiver, Texas (COM)
Byron Murphy II, Defensive Tackle, Texas (COM)
Bo Nix, Quarterback, Oregon (COM)
Patrick Paul, Offensive Tackle, Houston (COM)
Javon Solomon^, 3-4 Outside Linebacker, Troy (COM, VIR)
Brian Thomas Jr., Wide Receiver, LSU (COM)
Edefuan Ulofoshio, Inside Linebacker, Washington (VIR)
Devontez Walker, Wide Receiver, North Carolina (T30)
Tez Walker^, Wide Receiver, North Carolina (COM, PRO)
Johnny Wilson, Wide Receiver, Florida State (COM)
Payton Wilson, Linebacker, N.C. State (COM)
Roman Wilson, Wide Receiver, Michigan (COM)
Xavier Worthy, Wide Receiver, Texas (COM)
They have Walker on here twice so it does look like they met with him 3 times.

What is journalism anymore anyways. Lazy and unprofessional. You get fired at any other job for that type of mishap.
This is not serious, kind of tongue in cheek, but this is a bad look.

Need Henry Ruggs to do a scared straight program. Don't have to look far back to see examples of situations you dont want to be in but roll the dice on.
Ruggs still probably thinks he didn’t do anything wrong. -
I wonder how much it takes for that dude to get drunk.

I’ve been the conductor of the JT28, DK Metcalf and Breece Hall trains. I’m riding the Keon Coleman train this draft
Yeah I’m down with Coleman. The 4.6 is a little scary, but so many guys the board clamors for the last couple of are “slow guys.” Davante Adams, Deandre Hopkins, Tyler Boyd, Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson…with a guy his size I am not sure the long speed matters all the much. I still prefer Brian Thomas, and after that Mitchell is my guy, but Coleman to me is in that same tier and I’d be good with him.-

For the people who want him, Tyler Boyd is just a pure slot guy. Way more than Samuel or even Shakir. He is also going to be too expensive for what he provides. I like the idea of versatile guys like Samuel. Boyd is not that. Good player, doesn’t complement the room.

I read the Bills are signing Odell
He makes sense. They have been pursuing for awhile now and he provides a little stopgap, takes some pressure off the young guys and whoever we draft. Plus we have Adam Henry here. I would do it and still draft a guy round 1.-

I mentioned in the other WR thread, go grab Terrance Marshall from the Panthers. He’s big, fast and still just 23 years old. He played for Brady at LSU and was drafted for Brady’s offense in Carolina. He was given permission to seek a trade in the fall and that was before the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and David Moore. He is just buried down there for whatever reason and needs a change of scenery. I get it that he isn’t the number 1 or whatever, but he knows the offense, he is big and fast and can catch the football and there is a pedigree there. He is an outside receiver. He should also be very cheap and Dan Morgan obviously is connected to the front office here. Sometimes these guys just get buried.
These trades for aging veterans on huge deals just isn’t going to happen. Anyone think of any other young guys buried from regime changes or trades?
The only other young guys who are buried that I could think of are Texans John Metchie and the Browns Cedric Tillman.
Whatever happens and whoever we add, I am still taking a 1st round receiver and I think the mid trade up for Brian Thomas makes the most sense.

Jefferson, Lamb, Chase won’t ever make it to free agency. But I do wonder about Nico Collins…I’d take him over all those other guys.

They talk at the end about him being mocked to Buffalo. Steve Smith says he won't be there, he's going in the "teens" & that we'd have to move up.
Man Thomas is perfect for this team. Hopefully he drops since he is a quiet guy like Smith says. He’s a perfect fit. -
Dawson is overpaid for sure and that is the biggest issue with his spot on the roster. But he protects Kincaid and kind of allows Kincaid to be more of the finesse slot receiver as Knox can handle some of the dirty work. They already paid him and I think he is here the next two years because of the dead cap. But I haven’t moved on yet. For so many years we have been searching for tight ends and now we have two. I’m clinging hard to those guys. I do think we are at our best in 12 personnel, so I think he still has a role.

It was tough. I had to talk to my wife about bills and plans and stuff.

Food for thought! I wonder if we could get 2 of the top 3 somehow.
What stands out to me there is Legette…doing that in the SEC, being his teams’ really only weapon and playing with Rattler. Apparently he played poorly when Tennesse played man on him and locked him up. But that stat stands out to me.-

Which player is the draft community too low on?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Spencer Rattler...put him on Washington, or LSU, or Oregon, or Michigan or Florida State or whatever and I just wonder if the results are different. There is something about him...I'm not typically a small quarterback guy, but I find him interesting in terms of the arm talent and athleticism. The wrist flick on some of his deep throws are just different.
His college film isn't much different than Patrick Mahomes' was. I think if Rattler gets in the right situation he will make it.
