Bills Fan888 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 So is Woods going to be our Andre Reed and Goddwin our Beebee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 It's quite obvious to me that the whole "move Stevie Johnson to the slot" plan has been scraped. If it even existed in the first place, for that matter. TJ, and MG look like slot receivers to me. Woods and Johnson can man the outside. You don't know crap, no offense. You haven't seen one formation Hackett has drawn up or one personnel grouping. You are complaining solely for complaining's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 And TJ Graham had 99 catches for 1453 yards in four years at NC State, and it really kind of seems like he sucks. Of course, he still has time, but he showed absolutely ZERO last year. Not even a glimpse. Now, we have another one. Oh goody. The pick is horrible. The Bills don't have the luxury of hoping in their situation. As a side note, I was enjoying our draft to this point, so I'm not hating on the whole thing. Again, I just think this pick is horrible. I don't really understand your logic. Let's assume you are correct and TJ is a horrible player and will never make it in the NFL. With that being the case, what is wrong with drafting a replacement speedy WR? Having a speedy decent/good WR is desired in the NFL. I see no problem in attempting to obtain one.

mannc Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Watch the Alamo Bowl vs Oregon State film. Just watch it. And while you're at it, watch his teammate Alex Okafor, who is still on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Lots of shiny new toys for Hackett's O. Fasten your seatbelts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think TJ is actually a receiver. This guy is a gadget guy. I think Hackett and Marrone are going to mess with a bunch of toys. It really good be exciting and fun. I don't expect much real production from him. i agree.....rookie year he will be more of a returner/gadget play guy.

Maybe when one speedster gets blown up by a LB or S, he'll be able to use the other for spare parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Seems like a Graham clone, why bother? that's what I thought, would rather had Ryan Swope who is a bigger version of Welker. I am somewhat disappointed with this pick. He is clearly very very fast, but didn't do much at Texas either as a WR or a kick returner. Not sure I see what good his speed is if he doesn't catch passes or return kicks well.... Hey we are the Raiders east baby. Somebody needs to tell Nix that the 3rd round still has plenty of talent, because he's the worst GM I've ever seen in the 3rd. or any other round for that matter.

nemhoff Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I know that it is just one game, but if anyone watched Texas and OSU play in the Alamo Bowl last year you would be very excited about Goodwin. The dude blew up that game with 2 huge TD catches. Blazing speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafter Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Lots of shiny new toys for Hackett's O. Fasten your seatbelts! My sentiments exactly! It's impossible to know if a pick is good or bad, so why not look at it positively? History has proven that the experts are 50/50 at best if a pick is "value" or "reach"... So why not just sit back and envision what potential our team could have with the talent we've added. The Bills have been negative for so long, but the one time of year we can always we positive is the draft. Lets sit back and think of the better future that's on its way! Go Bills!

....lybob Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I was all for getting another receiver but they should have drafted Da'Rick Rodgers or Ryan Swope. Both of these picks would have made a lot more sense +++++- totally do not understand this pick, maybe a nod to Mckelvin starting at CB and no longer on Punt returns and Kick offs ???? it seems like a high pick to use that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggerdaddynj Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Perhaps now that he can focus solely on football on a FT basis he can achieve his full potential. That said, why not Markus Wheaton (also fast and much more polished), Steadman Bailey, Quinton Patton or DaRick Rogers. All higher ranked. Know their games are different but going with surer picks seems smarter. This affirms Buddy f'ed up with Graham. And we passed on Jordan Reed for him who was the last truly talented TE--a position of need with a value pick available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyHorseAteTheKid Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hate this pick.... Could have gottten Quality O-Line help... Or a TE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Don't mind the player. Not thrilled with burning a 3rd round pick on him. Buddy has a poor track record with these types of picks, and we need help up front and at passrusher. Having said all of that, at least it's a high-ceiling pick.

RCOHEN13 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Seems like a Graham clone, why bother? Not a Graham clone at all... i've seem him play a lot of times and saw him in olympics.. This is fastest guy in NFL... He's more a bigger Roscoe PArrish with less juking and just pure break away speed. I see a lot of 4 WR sets with him and SJ13 n slots and Woods and Graham outside and SC in backfield... With Stevie and Woods doing the dirty work, those 3 other guys can score a TD from anywhere on the field. I see Marrone's offense playing a Chip Kelly style.. If i were Chip, and would have known he would have this kind of speed to work with... he would have drolled over this job.. We dont know how anything will pan out obviously, but this regime has sure made it clear, we want SPEED and ATHLETICISM... even loving the alonso pick.. Guy is very big for an ILB... seeing alot of them come off board in 2nd 2nd and seeing their measurabilities.. i was a bit shocked to see how most were barely pushing 6 feet and some under.. London Fletcher type guys.. Alonso has same kind of speed as others, but is a big boy.. he's like 6'3 (depending what source? how hard is it to get a damn height correct! LOL) He may play a bit wreckless, but thats the scheme he played in.. if he can be coached properly, and i think we have a great guy in Pettine is DC, i think he will start day 1 along side Shepp in middle of 3-4 and be the guy to break piles with his ferociousness and free Shepp to make plays without blockers on him. Dont forget, Shepp was 1 of the leaders on the LSU dominant D.. he has not lived up to expectations yet, but only 3rd yr, and we will actually have a REAL scheme along with some real talent on this D.. I'm hoping we can pick up a vet CB later in FA, and very optimistic about our draft so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Hate this pick.... Could have gottten Quality O-Line help... Or a TE!!! 2 guards were taken after him. Still plenty of them to be had. Drafts are not filled with stud TEs. The TEs left are not likely studs.

BuffaloFan68 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 i like this pick. If you are an opposing D, how do you cover this kid & TJ at the same time? Espescially now that we have some QBs that can hit them deep. I feel 10 times better about this team now than after our first draft with Gailey at the helm.
