Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Simply meant another high draft pick WR under achiever and a major disappointment if drafted. No, they aren't the same person. I'm a little concerned that Evans is at about the 40th percentile in speed and quickness. He is big, so maybe that's to be expected. Just not sure about him. If we pick him, I hope he can play at the next level against premier DBs. "While Evans can get open with ease and out jump his defenders, he has just okay hands. He is very aggressive which can lead to push-off calls, but he is more physical than cheap. He is not a very good route runner due to tight hips that showed up in his mediocre 3 cone drill (7.08). Evans also tends to get extremely emotional often. There were several games where he had to be talked to on the sideline and his mannerisms and attitude seemed similar to that of Dez Bryant. He has some maturity issues but is also very young still and is coachable." Edited March 17, 2014 by Your Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know hear about these other traits....I would rather the Bills passed on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're comparing a 3rd round speed WR in Graham, that most scouts had as a 5th-7th round prospect, to an elite 6-5-225 prospect in Evans who had 2500 yds. and 17 TD's in only two years of SEC football...You don't put up those kind of numbers in the SEC on accident... Evans is still a baby in terms of football growth...He's no where near a finished product...He won't be 21 till August...But his raw tools draw comparisons to players like Brandon Marshall...His upside is almost limitless... No one...and I mean NO ONE questions that Evans is a bit of a gamble...But it's clearly a gamble on greatness...And much of the negative stuff you read about Evans mirrors the negatives that were written about Alshon Jeffery when he came out...Those questions led to Jeffery sliding into the 2nd round when he was clearly a high 1st round talent (at least I believed he was)...Everything comes down to coaching and finding a fit when a kid has as much natural talent as Evans does... There's no comparison to Graham...I can see comparing him a bit to Dez Bryant in certain ways...But lets face it...The Bills could certainly use a Dez Bryant-type talent can they not? And I'll tell you right now that Evans is probably a smarter kid that Bryant is...I'll go out on that limb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitta Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The Bills have Chandler, Mike Claussen, Chris Gragg and Mike Moeaki, there is no way they draft a TE. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
