John from Riverside Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I dont think there is a doubt in my mind that Robert Woods is gone after this season What happened with Sammy is really unfortunate....you really cannot predict this stuff...... much in the same as when Ragland went down....Whaley did his thing in getting Justin Hunter It will be interesting with Powell and Hunter......I really like Powell....dont know too much about Hunter but to me this is auditioning for spots for next years roster.....if Powell and Hunter can emerge and give us production....we might really have something especially when Watkins gets back.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 How about we establish a #2 for this Sunday before worrying about 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The odds of either Powell or hunter emerging as an NFL quality #2 are pretty slim. The odds of both playing like that are roughly equivalent to winning the lotto. The odds of them being effective depth and/or package players? Very possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The draft is where you can get a no 2 WR (probably 2nd or 3rd round). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The draft is where you can get a no 2 WR (probably 2nd or 3rd round). Day two of the draft is the economical way to get a really solid one. How effective he would be week 1 is a question (would've been nice to have a year as depth before stepping up) but yes to the strategy overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What reason do you have to believe that we will ever really have Watkins back? Hopefully this is all a fluke, but he's missed games every season. At this point, it's not unreasonable to think that he's only another injury away from being too injury prone to give the money too? His foot. Was his hip. Then his shoulder. I'm happy to be wrong, but I'm just not optimistic anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 In what round was Justin Hunter drafted? Yea but their third team in month makes it a different discussion. And you know that. He's still got potential, which is great, but to try to imply that picking up a guy cut twice in September is remotely similar to drafting a guy in round two is a bit much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Does this team throw enough to need great WRs? Look at Carolina last year.This is a great point. I also think the NFL has evolved from the day of having a #2 WR. I like having a good WR, good TE, and a back that can catch the ball. Couple those 3 with some solid WR's on the roster who can catch the ball, and I think you are good. It seems what happens is a teams #2 WR option gets signed away by another team after his rookie deal to be a #1. Draft guys or find them on other teams practice squad, develope and move on.

Also the IR-DFR designation is gone now, teams don't have to specify ahead of time. Everyone goes on IR, then the team can take only one player off it.

BuffaloFan68 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 At this point we need to be looking for a #1 WR. Seems as though Sammy doesn't want to play for the Bills or is just injury prone like RG3. It's a shame since I bought everyone in my family Watkins jerseys.

Marty McFly Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Day two of the draft is the economical way to get a really solid one. How effective he would be week 1 is a question (would've been nice to have a year as depth before stepping up) but yes to the strategy overall Im looking forward to drafting a new #1 WR. We also need a Safety to start grooming as Coreys Replacement. Graham is underrated but he wont be playing much longer, and we need to get our version of Darian Thompson (S on the Giants, playing lights out for a rookie, better than Landon Collins did as a rookie) At this point we need to be looking for a #1 WR. Seems as though Sammy doesn't want to play for the Bills or is just injury prone like RG3. It's a shame since I bought everyone in my family Watkins jerseys. NEXT Go Bills Damn I feel for you and the jersey situation brother . I wish Sammy was more durable, guy is a heck of a player when healthy. You know what kills me 68?? WE NEVER USED SAMMY TO HIS POTENTIAL! WE NEVER USED HIM ON SCREENS AND SHORT PLAYS TO GET HIM IN SPACE FOR YAC. WE NEVER USED HIM LIKE CLEMSON DID. WTF?!?! AM I THE ONLY ONE SCREAMING ABOUT THIS???? (I have a hidden theory that when Sammy gets fed up with our team and our fans with our little home depot jobs that he jus says hes too hurt to go, not this time around with the foot but in the past, it has seemed that way, I also dont think he likes playing for us.)

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Between free agency, and overpaid guys getting cut. The list looks better for next year. Also the draft. Expect us to have a totally revamped wr corps. Edited October 1, 2016 by dneveu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I think there will be a lot of attention paid to improving our group of WRs this offseason. I would be surprised if Robert Woods was re-signed, and I expect at least one free agent WR signed and another WR drafted with a first or second round pick.
