.@RQUINN619 Breaks Down Pitt WR Tyler Boyd, Potential #Bills Draft Target http://buildingtheherd.com/nfl-draft/tyler-boyd-scouting-report-is-pitt-wr-a-buffalo-bills-target-in-2016-nfl-draft/

Outside of DJ Foster, Ty Boyd has the lowest yards per catch of the next 19 WRs that will be drafted.

To me, that's not a good investment of the RD2 pick it will take.

However, Ty Boyd has the highest KR+PR yards, and we're likely getting rid of McKelvin and Harvin.

Watching some Pharoh Cooper and it made me realise why I fell in love with him last year. Would like him as a Harvin replacement.

 

Another note, South Carolina need to have their team taken away from them. It's an absolute **** show. It's like they willingly played the village idiot at QB this year.

If we decide to draft a WR in round 2 I hope its one with size.

 

We have been missing that

there aren't many with size who have shown they can get separation vertically on a consistent basis. Actually not even Treadwell has shown that. Thomas is a possibility. Might not be there at 49.

 

I am *really* starting to like Sterling Shepard.

Alshon Jeffrey? Probably too expensive but a more durable, larger-sized, more play-making capable WR2 aside Sammy is the final piece (other than a truly locked in QB of course).

LOVE Pharoah Cooper... Kid's a Bona-Fide stud...However... He's like 5'11 or something... Too Small... We need SIZE at the WR position..

[mannc]

When did it become given that we need size at the second WR position, and why? It is dangerous to go into a draft targeting "tall" receivers instead of just excellent receivers of any size. It's how you end up picking James Hardy instead of DeSean Jackson.

 

The Bills' return game was atrocious last year. Finding a productive WR who can also return punts and/kickoffs should be a priority. Bralon Addison comes to mind, but I'm sure there are plenty of others.

i think a size WR would be great. But, hands and route running, ability to gain separation, and block (in this offense) are more important. If we find an effective returner as well that would be outstanding.

It was more important when we had an inaccurate QB like EJ at the helm. With Tyrod, I agree with you that we should prioritize route running and separation.

Anyone have an opinion on the other Mike Thomas from Southern Miss? Good measurables and snubbed from the combine. Could be a great value if he plays with a chip on his shoulder.

i like him. Would be great UDFA add if he's not drafted

[OldTimer1960]

Bounce back to average?

I think we have seen what Woods has to offer, and it's nothing special. He occasionally makes a nice play.

I think folks are way too down on Robert Woods. I think when he is healthy he can be a good starting WR. Do some teams have better #2 WRs and could the Bills benefit from having a bigger WR target? Sure, but I see DE, LB and RT as bigger needs for this team.
