Kirby Jackson Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Love Watkins, but I really love Kelvin Benjamin from Florida State. I know it's still to early to predict, but any prognostications as to when he is likely to be drafted? I think he could be an Alshon Jeffery clone. I love him as well. They say late 1st to early 2nd. I have to imagine that he continues to climb after testing and Monday night. I am thinking that he will go in the middle of the 1st after Watkins and Lee.

NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Moulds was a beast at 6'2 " 225 I would like a WR 6'4- 6'5 Eric Moulds clone. If he's out there. He wasn't really 6'2", I am 6'2" and when I met him I had at least 2 inches on him. He was an absolute beast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotype87 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Lets face it, We need Watkins. But we also need a run stuffing stud. We gave up way to many yards on the ground again this year. Free agency could help us there. We need our own Megatron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Eric Moulds was only 6' and he seemed to do alright. Regardless of Moulds' size, I've said that size is not an issue with Watkins. I also said that he reminds me of Justin Blackmon in that he plays larger than his listed height/weight. My comment was directed more towards Evans backers. I think Watkins is probably the better player. I would only draft Evans if I was convinced he was a better player than Watkins. For me, size is a tie-breaker, not the primary consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheddar's Dad Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Just watched Donnie Avery score a 79 yd TD for K.C. Watkins is 2 inches taller and 5 lbs. heavier than Avery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% on size being a tie-breaker. I was originally all about Evans but the more I have researched I am in on Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 So did E.J. play with him at Florida St?. I mean it would make sense.... Yeah, Benjamin was a redshirt freshman last year (I think). They did play together for sure. Just watched Donnie Avery score a 79 yd TD for K.C. Watkins is 2 inches taller and 5 lbs. heavier than Avery. And he is faster if there is truth to the rumors that he ran a 4.27 on grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The Bills have enough small receivers, they need a big man who can go up and outreach the D. Even if he is a Steve Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 FWIW, Avery was the first receiver taken in the 2008 draft. Donnie Avery (33rd overall) Devin Thomas Jordy Nelson James Hardy (41st overall) Eddie Royal Jerome Simpson DeSean Jackson Malcolm Kelly Limas Sweed (53rd overall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outsidethebox Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think we should draft Ed Hochuli at no. 9 in this years draft. He is a game changer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufcomments Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 what I like about Sammy is he is a hands catcher and has that gear you cant teach. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkNvLP-WI5g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Great video, one thing that really stood out to me was how he tracked the ball into his hands, made the catch and then worried about taking it to the house. His catches were clean which allowed him to gain a lot of yards after the catch. ALL IN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) So did E.J. play with him at Florida St?. I mean it would make sense.... He did... but Benjamin was very inconsistent as a freshman. Dropped a lot of balls. Improved a lot in 2nd year, FSU also replaced 6 guys on its Offensive coaching staff.

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Just watched T.Y. Hilton score a red zone TD. Watkins is 4 inches taller and 27 lbs heavier than Hilton. Just curious, that tall kid that playes with Johnny Football; is it possible that he gets open more so because Johnny brings DBs up and off of coverage, rather than his own skill level???? Luck struggled mightily after Wayne went down. And after a great start, Hilton was up and down for the rest of the season (I had him on my fantasy teams). It's too easy to take away smaller #1 Wrs. If the Bills had a beast at TE or wr, sure. But Watkins is built pretty much the same as our top 2 Wrs. And Johnny Football does do the scramble deal a lot that helps Evans. But he does sometimes just chuck a football into double coverage hoping his 6'5" basketball wr comes down with it. I want that. FWIW, Avery was the first receiver taken in the 2008 draft. Donnie Avery (33rd overall) Devin Thomas Jordy Nelson James Hardy (41st overall) Eddie Royal Jerome Simpson DeSean Jackson Malcolm Kelly Limas Sweed (53rd overall) In fairness, none of those guys had close to the 2 years Evans has had.

PastaJoe Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Some of you think because the Bills missed on Hardy that they shouldn't draft another big receiver. Watkins may be better than Evans, but he wouldn't be better for the Bills given their less than accurate QB. It's not like they have Luck. If they did, then I could see picking Watkins. But they don't. I don't even think they should pick any WR 1st, I'd rather get a LB. But if they do, it should be a big WR or top TE, something they don't currently have.
