26CornerBlitz Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 @viccarucci Hearing #Bills unlikely to pick up 5th-year option on Sammy Watkins by May 2 deadline. Not while he's still recovering from foot surgery. Maybe Vic should clean out his ears. @MatthewFairburn Sean McDermott said the Zay Jones pick does not factor into Bills' decision on Sammy Watkins' fifth-year option.

Jkgobills Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Great pick on Zay Jones. My guess is the Panthers would have taken him. The Bills probably thought they had to get ahead of them for sure. Jones is another pick with strong credentials in leadership (captain), and intelligence. Starting to see a trend in who McDermott likes to pick.

OldTimer1960 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Seems like a great pick. A better talent than Woods, who i still like as a player. Agreed. If Woods could have stayed healthy and had a better QB, he could have been very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Bills likey not picking up the 5th year option on Sammy. Of course not, they'll extend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flmike Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Seems like they're targeting players who showed consistent production throughout their college careers. Which is what a GM should do. I've never understood the thinking that you take someone with great physical attributes and somehow make him into a good football player at the NFL level. Guys who were winners in college tend to be winners at the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 This is a heavy Defensive draft!! Getting a top offensive player is a smart move here. If it was another CB then you could justify complaining. A few on the site get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st&ten Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Still have same number of picks. Just a little lower. Well, moving from a 3rd Rd pick to a 4th Rd pick is giving up a pick in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhDozeBills Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Seeing some conflicting info on this trade. We swapped 2nds, gave up our 3rd (the late 3rd from KC) and picked up an early 4 or 5? Can someone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well, moving from a 3rd Rd pick to a 4th Rd pick is giving up a pick in my mind. And swapping a dollar for 4 quarters is still losing a dollar right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I like the 2 guys we drafted, they both seem like quality guys and if they both start it's a bonus. I'm hoping Duke Riley is still there for us in the 3rd and I'll be ecstatic. That would be great. Wonder if Zach Cunningham will be there for us in the 3rd.

OldTimer1960 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well, moving from a 3rd Rd pick to a 4th Rd pick is giving up a pick in my mind. It is actually really a 5th not a 4th. Oh the misery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elroy16 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 High on SPARQ rating. 6th on WR list. Don't know much about him beyond that. Judging by the trade and first two picks, it sure looks like McD is down with analytics. https://3sigmaathlete.com/rankings/wr/ Reading some of the scouting reports, it sounded like he may not be the most athletic guy and his production was more a result of the system than him dominating. This makes me feel a lot better about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imissbeastmode Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Great. A WR from a gimmicky offense. He was 10th best WR of the draft. Bills moved up to take the next T. J. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) He is a good WR, but not worth losing our additional 3rd for. Should have stayed patient Yeah I don't like the decision making. Davis, Williams, Ross went in the first, but after that every WR was still left on the board. Not worth losing 58 positions.

CommonCents Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Shocker you don't like a player not named Mahomes. In defense of Jeff he did give a list of players he liked and reasons why. He is really taking it on the chin with the Mahomes thing the past two days. It was over the top leading up to the draft, I agree but does everything have to revert back to that? Seems like he knows his stuff, plenty of folks who don't and are just bashing for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
