CEN-CAL17 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Worse than last year... got it. WR has been a weakness for sometime now. Benjamin goes down, let’s not go there... Im not a Thompson fan, rather then get a Jeff Janis, taller, just as fast, straight line guy who excels on ST. Better draft a guy who can play day one.

I hope we get him back but I’m not nearly as confident as you. Especially with our low cap number right now. Somebody can give him a little more and it’s thanks for the memories Buffalo ?

YoloinOhio Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Not yet. They are interested in re-signing him. But he’s in talks with multiple teams. Edited March 20, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand our salary cap issues, but we're going to face the same thing as last year... Nobody getting open consistently & players stacking the box to stop Shady. Now unless AJ is some diamond in the rough that will just throw it up to give Benjamin a chance cause he's open when covered...i don't see this WR group doing anything different then last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a new offensive coordinator, yet out offense will have similar productivity. I agree they need to improve at WR, but there are many other influential factors at play. Here are a few: 1) new offensive system 2) new QB 3) a presumably health K Benjamin These are the major ones but there are more. I would withhold labeling our offensive until we can get a more complete picture of what it's finished product will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) They believe in Benjamin and Zay Jones. Carolina had terrible WRs as well. Edited March 20, 2018 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Zay Jones 4.45 sec will have a come back season after injury , I hope "Here’s a guy that’s going into surgery on Tuesday to get his shoulder repaired and people hardly knew that he played the entire season with, you know, a torn labrum,” Robert Jones told the Bills Wire podcast. “So how would you like sitting around and you’re going to grab a glass of water and your arm falls out of its socket?” Jan 16, 2018 The rookie played in 15 games during the season, never missing time for a shoulder injury. His father says the team didn’t find out about the injury until the end-of-year MRI, which is why he wasn’t listed on the injury report and didn’t receive treatment for the problem. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/1/16/16895930/buffalo-bills-rookie-receiver-zay-jones-shoulder-injury-2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB lumbers through the middle and gets hit. That is the majority of his route tree in a nutshell. Because of his size, body type and NFL tackling rules, him being injured should be taken as a given. 10 minutes ago, TheTruthHurts said: They believe in Benjamin and Zay Jones. Carolina had terrible WRs as well. They also had Cam, who could make things happen. Maybe AJ can too but he isn’t Cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Apparently the Bills believe whatever quarterback they have will actually throw to a wide receiver. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I’d like to see Thompson back but the Bills are still missing a 1 or 2 (depending on your thoughts on Benjamin). The WR group is not good. The Bills are going to have to had another with a top 100 pick and hope that they can come in and contribute immediately.

richardb1952 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I like Streeter. Think he can contribute. Andre Holmes must be real good on special teams because he doesn't do much as a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) The Bill's lack luster WR corps is one of the reasons I'm hoping the Bills don't blow all of their draft capital moving up in this year's draft to get one of the "elite" QB prospects. I was all for trading up in this draft until the Jets got the three spot. I think that move will make it too expensive for the Bills to trade up and get value for their picks. I'd rather have them take BPA and get McDermot's ILB and the best WR they can snag in the first two rounds. I hope they snag Rudolph with one of their 1st or 2nd round selections. Grab a road grader for the offensive line and just keep going BPA until the draft is over. This team has a lot of holes to fill. I would have no problem going into camp with a three way competition for QB between Rudolph, McCarron, and Peterman and have the winner walk into a situation where he has the supporting cast around him to have a chance to succeed.

YoloinOhio Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 In my Bills mock I have them taking a WR with a 2nd round pick. I don’t think they will trade both. I know they like Dante Pettis a lot. He’s been there at 56 every mock i have done. He would fit in great. Jmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Still guys out there like Wallace. Sign Thompson, Reilly moves up to the active roster, sign a vet once the prices stabilize. They'll be OK. The offense will still be designed around Shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
