Ilove STEVEY JOHNSON and would like to see him re-signed but we need a big plaxico or moss type player that fitz can count on not to drop the ball. Impressive...Taking a look at Blackmon and McNutt, I think I'd rather have McNutt. While Blackmon is a bit more explosive, both are very physical receivers with great hands. The knock on McNutt is that he is still developing his route running skills. Blackmon took 2 years to break into the starting line up at his natural position while Mcnutt transitioned to WR from QB and lead the team for 3 years straight. McNutt also received scholarships in THREE sports...football, basketball, and baseball. Blackmon post 32 more receptions, but only had 3 more touchdowns and nearly the exact same yardage...as for the measurables, almost the exact same: Blackmon - 6'1" 215lbs & runs a 4.52 40 yrd dash; 113 receptions, 1,337 yds & 15 TD (2010 mid-season DUI) McNutt - 6'2" 215lbs & runs a 4.52 40 yrd dash: 82 receptions, 1,315 yds & 12 TD Blackmon doesn't last to the 10th pick, and I think we have a legit sot @ McNutt in the 3rd Rd. IMHO, McNutt is a better value pick. Something to consider! nice i dont know how to post those will u add the behind the back catch against mich st 2011. and do you like the pick even though we have defensive needs 1st I don't think he jumps into the 2nd round. He's currently ranked the 18th best receiver in the draft, with a 4-5 rd. grade. He may jump up into the 3rd with a good combine and pro day...hell, maybe the second, but I don't think so.

brianhawkeye2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Nice research bro i knew his stats were simuliar to blackmon. Ithink what makes him just as good as blackmon is mcnutt plays in a pro style run first. Hey if we could get him in the third HELL YEAH!!! Im telling you fitzmagic will have a hayday with stevey and marvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think he goes in the 2nd. Not a bad time to take him. Thanks for posting. Plus, I like having WR's that are former QB's. They tend to have a good sense of the overall offensive scheme. (Heinz Ward, etc.). Plus, perhaps he can be our 3rd string QB. Has to be better than Brad Smith.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 There are other WR's I'd take in the 2nd round before McNutt, namely Dwight Jones and Nick Toon. Toon is a much more polished WR than is McNutt, and IMO Jones has the highest ceiling of any WR in this draft class. Now, if we waited until the 3rd round to address WR and McNutt was still on the board, I would be happy with the selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianhawkeye2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 ryan i agree, i d hate to not get him in the third. he has the same yards in 30 less receptions YPC than BLACKMON. Ithink he is the 4th to 5th best receiver in the country if NICK TOON was better than MCNUTT than why sas MCNUTT the only consensus ALL BIG TEN 1st team on each media and coaches vote including BRETT BILLEMIA coch of the badgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrcuse315 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Lets keep in mind stats aren't everything. McNutt - 6'2" 215lbs & runs a 4.52 40 yrd dash: 82 receptions, 1,315 yds & 12 TD Jarius Wright: 5'10" 180lbs & runs a 4.34 40yrd dash: 66 receptions, 1117 yds & 11TD Average yrds per play: Mcnutt: 16.0 Wright: 16.9 only had 1 less TD, higher average yards per reception, and only 198 fewer yards while having 16 fewer receptions. Also Wright played against SEC defenses that were exceptional this year. Just based on stats it would look like Wright might be the better player to take but is that necessarily true? Blackmon is at the top because he is an exceptional athlete and you can't simply put numbers to numbers and expect them to define each player. If stats were everything Brandon Weeden would be ahead of Luck. Weeden: 4727yrds 37TD 13INT Luck: 3517yrds 37TD 10INT And OK State beat them in the bowl game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runner Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am a Buffalo native and former Iowa athlete myself...ages ago. I have watched probably every game Marvin McNutt has played......I would LOVE to have him on the Bills. he does not have great speed.....I see him as more of a Greg Jennings type receiver......solid routes, great hands, smart player. Go Bills Go Hawks! That said...he may be available in the third round. Oh. And Reilly Reiff is good, but not the number ten pick in the draft.

K-9 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 McGee, McKelvin & McNutt. Once hell of an Irish lawfirm in the making. They could have their own billboard along the Scajaquada. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Bills receivers they had this year. Steve Johnson, Marcus Easley, Derek Hagan, Kamar Aiken, all of them are 6'2" Donald Jones & Naaman Roosevelt: 6' David Nelson: 6'5" Ruvell Martin: 6'4" Roscoe Parish: 5'9" Hagan, Aiken, Roosevelt, & Martin won't play hardly at all next year (barring injuries) and some won't be on the team.. Parish might be gone very soon and rightfully so leaving Buffalo with this. Johnson, Easley, Jones, and Nelson. Nelson may be 6'5" but he isn't a big playmaker and is a slot receiver. Other than him buffalo's receivers don't break the 6'2" mark. Buffalo needs a big 6'3"--6'6" playmaker who can go up in traffic like burress or marshall to get the ball. We don't have that at all. We also need a smaller speedy receiver to throw off defenses in the slot. I like McNutt but adding another midsized receiver in the draft when we already have 3 doesn't make much sense to me. No teams fear our big receiver who can go sky high over the DB's and make the grab because we are one of the few teams that don't have one. We have to target a taller fearsome receiver because we have to have a dynamic receiving corps, not 4 guys who are all the same size out there at the same time. We need to create mismatches and have guys who work better for certain routes. Johnson is our best backcorner fade route guy and he is only 6'2". You need a guy with some serious height to go up and take the ball or that is too big to be pressed by a corner. None of our receivers stand out significantly from one another, they all pose a similar threat so it's easier to gameplan our passing game. Look at the pats, Gronkowski, welker, Ochocinco, Branch. One huge, one small, two others more mid seized. Jets: Burress, holmes, & keller. We have to have guys that pose multiple threats not a group of same sized receivers who tend to run the same types of routes all day long because they have similar skill sets. If I'm going to take a receiver in the 2nd I'm taking Dwight Jones or Tommy Streeter. Streeter lacks the bulk but at 6'4" and running a 4.49 40yrd dash, I'm a fan of that. Trainers will bulk him up easily. Poor guy had Jacory Harris throwing to him all season I want Roscoe gone so I want Jarius wright to be the small blazing fast receiver as a late round pick to fill his void.

BBeck/cuba Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Im personally rooting for Dwight jones in the 3rd. while I know WR is a huge need lets take 2 LBs then a WR. 1) Courtney Upshaw OLB 2) Vontaze Burfict ILB 3) Dwight Jones WR 4) Tony Bergstrom OT 4) Levy Adcock OT 5) Chandler Harnish QB 6) Dwight Bentley CB 7) Adrian Robinson OLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cincinnati Kid Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I would love to get McNutt in the draft. I was really surprised to see him at 18 for his position. I really think he will be an above average pro WR. He would be a great pick for the Bills. I liked Nick Toon a lot too. I thought he was terrific. We'll see. Hopefully they'll get somebody to challenge Jones and Easley for the spot next to Stevie, assuming he re-signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhawkeye2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 HE is better than 10 of the 18 guys in front of him. For someone to never play the position in high school and switch as a sophmore then break all the schools records in three years. His confidence is getting better each year he played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
