snafu Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I might have some thoughts but why would you make me wait until after day 2 of the draft to tell you? That's a very short period of time within which to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny3410 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) That would be 6'-5" 210 pound Andre Holmes. No need to waste a draft pick on a big receiver when we already got our answer in my opinion. Edited March 21, 2017 by jpsp3434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Amara Daborah is my favorite Round 3 WR prospect but not sure if 6'2" is considered tall, if want an athletic WR with height the guys to go with is Mack Hollins or North Carolina (6'4") or Kenny Golladay (6'4") yet don't see them being impact rookies unless use Hollins as a return man.

nucci Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thoughts? Does he have to be any good or just tall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Says Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 So far in free agency the Bills have only maintained the status quo at WR. Lost: Woods, Goodwin, Hunter (and Easley). Signed Butler, Brown, Holmes (and Tate).What if Watkins gets hurt again? I think we should draft Williams or Davis (maybe Jones?) EARLY. Not to just COMPLEMENT Sammy, but to replace him if needed.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Josh Malone, Tennessee ran a 4.40- 40 time at the combine, 6'3" 210 lbs. , I don't like him as a main WR at this point but as a #2 he could be as productive as Woods imo.

KevinMassare Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 We only have one pick in that time. So you are saying find a WR at #74? Sure.  JuJu Smith-Schuster Cooper Kupp Zay Jones  Depending who is on the board, that's where we would be looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshermw Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Bucky Hodges actually played WR 95% of the time as a senior at VT. Â 6'7" with a 39" vertical, 4.5. Needs to work on catch consistency - easy thing to work on. Â He'll be there at 3 or 4 and could add versatility to the overall receiving corps because he is also a TE.

Estro Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Mack Hollins. Â Kind of reminds me of Vincent Jackson. Â Â Plus he's a good special teamer (kickoff and punt coverage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjjr Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Zay Jones but he'll go before the 3rd. So will Chris Godwin probably. Â Isiah Ford isn't a huge WR but is known for his body control and making great catches down the field. Malachi Dupre is tall and has upside. Â Others like Josh Malone (trouble against press coverage), Bug Howard, Josh Reynolds, Darboh (Hands?), Amba Etta Tawo, J.Smith Schuster could all be options here. Sleepers like Golladay, Robert Davis, Jerome Lane, J.Robinette, Q.Ayebedejo could all be interesting later in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 I really appreciate all of the input I received on this post. I have considered some of the receivers you targeted but there was another criteria that I forgot to mention in the original post. Playing in Buffalo means some cold and windy days. That being said, a guy like Nick O'Leary doesn't wear gloves and I think that helps him tremendously. So what I'm really looking for is a tallish receiver, after the 2nd round but before the 5th round who has played in colder climates (schools north of Charlotte NC and east of Iowa State) that doesn't wear gloves.

Thoughts? I would look for Cherkooski out of Boston College. Played in a similar climate, sometimes wears gloves, and can move around the formation. He should be there in the 5th. Hes pretty tall, especially when standing next to midgets. Â Another guy on my radar and probably no one else's is Phyzel Williams. Played his ball in North Dakota. This 6'6" specimen has all the measurables. He has a 7 foot wingspan and a hypothetical catch radius that makes Megatron look like TJ Graham jump-catching a ball of yarn between his knees. Phyzel dominated the backstroke in college too, which is shocking, I know, but he looks just as fluid on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxy312 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Given the significant number of needs on the team and the fact that they just signed Andre Holmes to a 3 year $6.5m deal, I don't see them drafting a wide receiver in any round this year. They still have Kolby Listenbee that they drafted as a developmental speedster. They re-signed Tate and still have Powell, Brown, Lewis, Butler, and I believe one other. Who thinks WR will be any priority when there's 9 on the roster and they're still super thin at both safety positions, cornerback, and linebacker? Not me.

BringBackFergy Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Tall only requirement? Maybe another James Hardy? Tall receiver with elite speed, but after round 2 and before round 5 (that's where we can find a hidden gem) but also from a school that is north of NC and east of Iowa State (colder climates) but needs to have bare hands for better grip (no gloves). Also, I forgot to mention this. He shouldn't have longer hair. I find that longer haired receivers are distracted too much with other things. Not sure if there is a guy like this out there. Jauronimo touched on a few but they have shorter hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...after round 2 but before round 5, tallish with elite speed, good hands that can grip the ball and unobstructed vision (shorter hair). Find me one.

Â Does this average size playmaker know anything about the King and I or Casablanca? As I said, a well rounded receiver would be ideal. It's well known that Matt Patricia (Rufus as I call him when playing golf) is an engineer and spends many evenings listening to NPR while building miniature, model German tanks. I would say his cultural growth has served him well. I want that...find me that in a receiver with the other criteria referenced above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
