Overseas Bills Fan Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 http://www.endzonescore.com/buffalo-bills-looking-to-add-veteran-wide-receiver/10765 If Spikes is resigned and the article saying the Bills are looking for a veteran WR, that means a few things: 1: LB will be shored up so the Bills can concentrate on other areas in the draft.2: Goodwin will more than likely be gone.3: Hogan will be #4 or #5 on the depth chart.4: Tuel is history With that said, if this happens, I expect a massive OLine dominated draft. Maybe a QB, but I doubt it, since they traded for Cassell, got Taylor and still have EJ under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I think the Bills are in good shape at WR, already. Not sure why they feel the need to add another vet. I suppose they might want a bigger, physical type, like they tried with Mike Williams. But, this offense is worlds different than it was last season...new coaches, new skill position guys across the board... I know, Goodwin has had a hard time staying healthy, but I also think, when healthy, he has shown some abilities. I would like to see what they can do with him.

ALF Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Tuel has some experience with this team that helps in TC and preseason when he's needed to play. The coaches need to focus all their attention on EJ and Tyrod. I can't see another WR either, unless Flash is traded or released. They have Easley and a few other prospects already. Just fix the OL or the offense is in trouble again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) If we're doing a Late Rd guess a spot, Ellis McCarthy, DT depth... Marcel re-signing doesn't go accordingly... Edited March 28, 2015 by Shamrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a QB, but I doubt it, since they traded for Cassell, got Taylor and still have EJ under contract. If they get another WR I think Hogan is toast. Watkins-Harvin-Woods-NewGuy-Easley. Not sure they can keep more than 5 considering all the guys at RB/HB/FB/TE that Roman will want, and all the front 7 defenders that Ryan will want. Agree with those who think we don't need another WR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 What's more interesting is the linked article within this piece about height/weight and WR TD conversion rates. http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/46279/311/wr-size--and--red-zone-efficiency?pg=1 Interesting, but one thing to keep in mind that despite what the author says, a correlation of 0.29 is far from "strong" - it's really weak. Strong enough that it probably does represent a real effect, but barely. 0.4 is also pretty weak. My point is basically that a good, but small, WR is still a better bet than a James Hardy type.

Meark Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Reggie Wayne, 1yr contract maybe show Watkins what it takes?? Is he going to show him how to drop passes and run slow? Reggie looked pretty terrible last year and should probably hang up his cleats. Edited March 30, 2015 by Meark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanOverChin Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I was going to write about this news myself. I think the Bills will eventually resign Spikes. That would give them Spikes/Bradham/Brown/Powell/Johnson. I think they would still need to draft a LB for added depth........possibly somebody better than Powell and Johnson who are both mostly ST guys. Getting a vet WR would really make a difference. Watkins/Woods/Harvin are all above average WRs. Hogan can catch, but he's not a standout NFL WR. He and Easley will mostly earn their keep on ST. Goodwin is an injury waiting to happen because he's so frail (about 179 lbs). I don't think he's in Buffalo's plans. I think Rex prefers bigger vet WRs. He had P. Burress, S. Holmes, other big vet WRs in NYJ and is looking to acquire the same in Buffalo. How about WR Vincent Jackson?? Obtaining LB Spikes, WR V. Jackson, and trading a mid round pick for vet OG J. Evans would be some nice gets for a team that many already consider to be the most talented roster in the the entire NFL. I would certainly explore the QB P. Rivers trade winds if we're going to continue to go big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
