    Prolly could’ve picked him at the tail end of Rd2 if they liked him that much.  He’s about a couple cheeseburgers shy of running slower than Spencer Brown

     

    With that being said, he could be a good red zone option

    There are reports that the patriots tried to trade into the back end of the first round to get him. So I doubt they could’ve gotten him at the back end of round two.

  2. I think this means they are totally ready to give up their first round pick next year to move up this year and get the receiver they want. Having Minnesota’s second rounder, would make them more willing to do this.
     

    Young wide receivers are stepping right in and becoming superstars pretty quickly these days.

     

    They gave up a first to get him, had several years of great production, and get a second rounder in return after all of that. On paper, it’s not awful, but they sure as hell better fill that spot, proper, or they’re wasting a year of Josh.

    Hopefully the bills are not thinking this way they better be more than one guy
     

    This happened last year there was a run on wide receivers and Buffalo ended up taking Dalton now I’m not advocating for another tight end, but the idea I’m having more than one guy on your board is still sound

    I’m gonna say that it’s better than that draft you have almost can’t miss guys at the beginning of it and it’s such quality that you’re still going to be able to get good players at the end of the first round and the second

    That was a really deep wide receiver draft. The bills were at the back end of the first round, missed some of the top guys,  and still came away with Moulds.

    With this offense I don't see how people can say we are going to light them up and win. I see Miami putting us away fairly easy and us missing the playoffs all together 


    Wasn’t this offense the one that just dominated Dallas? Pancake after pancake?
     

    You sound like my dad, who I consider one of the worst biggest Bills fans. I hate watching games with him.

    For the record, I wouldn't care if he said exactly what was stated in the complaint.  That falls into one of those "true things that we're not supposed to say out loud" category, and I just can't bring myself to worry about stuff like that.

    Go back to Africa is okay? 99% of the players are Americans, and multiple generations were born here too. Sad. 
     

    That said, i don’t know if he said it.

    Got any stats on Paul Warfield or James Lofton or any other guys who played 1000 years ago?  It’s a different game.  Guys like Eric Moulds had mostly bench their first few years.  Hopkins jumped in right away and has already shown signs his health is declining.


    T.O. Had 4 1000+ yard seasons from age 31. His 15.1 YPC with Buffalo in a non-1000 yard season was actually higher than his career average. His numbers were even better in his last year with the Bengals.
     

    Larry Fitz had over 100 catches in his age 32,33, & 34 seasons. 
     

    These are Hall of Famer’s. They are different. DeAndre Hopkins is a Hall of Famer. That’s not a guarantee that he’ll finish out his career like these two guys, but I wouldn’t count him out, especially with the way he wins his matchups.

     

    For me, it boils down to whether Hopkins is better than Gabriel Davis. I did not see a steep decline in the way he played in games last season. And I think playing with below average quarterbacks skews every other conversation, so it should skew this one too. How can QB play not make a difference?

    Teams still scheme for Hopkins as a primary, they don’t do that for Gabe. I know Sauce Gardner can’t cover Diggs and Hopkins at the same time.

     

    This is the window. It’s probably the last year of Poyer/Hyde. Von Miller isn’t going to be better 2 seasons from now. Milano and Diggs are still be their prime, but won’t be for much longer. Go for it now!!! 
     

    P.S. My bigger concern is that the Jets trade for Davante Adams to counteract a Hopkins move by Buffalo. I would say the same about the Chiefs but I can’t imagine the Raiders handing over a superstar to their enemy.
