DanInSouthBuffalo Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) That 2008 2nd round has been brutal on WR's. Hardy washed out, Limas Sweed has disappeared. Malcolm Kelly isn't good either. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/devin-thomas/redskins-release-wr-devin-thom.html Edited October 9, 2010 by DanInSouthBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 A lot of mocks had the Bills picking him in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'd give him a shot. With our WR set, really, what could it hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiotim Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 But wait, its bad coaching right? I mean that is the excuse Bills fans have for bad draft picks.... No sir, I'll go with bad scouting. Because for every James Hardy, Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly and Limas Sweed, other 2nd round guys like Desean Jackson, Matt Forte, Ray Rice and Eddie Royal, all of whom were "too small," have been productive.

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Wake up and claim this guy Buddy. We can certainly improve our WR corps by adding Devin Thomas. This is another no-brainer move. We'll see if the dunderheads at OBD are paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'd give him a shot. With our WR set, really, what could it hurt? He's the last thing this team needs. Why would you want another maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 It's surprising that none of the four split-end type receivers from that draft have done anything promising so far, and all 4 look like busts. Jordy Nelson is big (like 6'3") and decent, but he exclusively played the slot in college, and I believe plays the slot for Green Bay. I really don't fault the Bills for this particular draft bust. Nelson went before our pick, and the 2 good receivers in that round (Royal & Jackson) are both little skinny guys. Our receiving corps at the time was Lee Evans, Josh Reed, and Roscoe Parrish. Royal is basically a younger Josh Reed and probably wouldn't have helped us. Jackson's really good, but doesn't really bring anything to the table that Evans & Parrish don't already. Plus, as the Kolb/Vick situation has shown, Jackson really can't do much unless he has a QB who can get him the ball deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan68 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'm surprised at how poorly this draft class has been. If I recall correctly, weren't Kelly, Hardy, Thomas, and Sweed all projected to be drafted in the 1st round? I seem to recall that it was a shock that they all dropped to the 2nd, by the draft pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 He will get picked up by another team. Just wasn't a good fit for the Skins perhaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
