Steve Billieve Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 seems like people are complaining b/c they think they can spot a better wr on the board, just pointing out that's not why they drafted him . . . probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy sounds quick. Which probably accounts for the fact that he averaged over 12 yards per punt return. He can make people miss. It appears as if the Bills covet him as a returner, not as an answer to their WR issues. FWIW, Kiper said that Ray-Ray will make his mark in the pros initially on STs with a chance to move to the slot down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the Bills see something in him and felt he was more valuable than any of the other remaining WRs on the board. He does seem versatile. I wonder if he could handle Joe Webb's package?

What exactly does that mean, that I am missing? Is this National I Have Trouble With Reading Comprehension Day? LOL. His primary position in college was as return man. This will probably be his primary position in the nfl. There's speculation he can do other things like play cb or whatever else. No one is talking about his enormous upside as a WR and so I believe its safe to say that "nobody thinks he was drafted to play WR". That doesn't mean its impossible for him to play some WR downs. I'm sure he will (occasionally) if he succeeds in the league, but that's not really what you want him doing or why you took him. My mother in law is a huge Ray Ray fan because he would make some special plays, often of a gimmicky nature. I don't consider this sort of stuff as "playing wr" even if that's how he might line up sometimes. Steve Tasker contributed plenty at wr when you google him that's the position that comes up for him, but nobody thinks the bills kept him on their roster to play that position. I don't know why the Bills drafted him, but there's lots of reasons that stand out to me and non of them are because they want him as a wr. Maybe they want him to play corner. Maybe they just see a special athlete, maybe they think he'll be a good returner. Like I said I don't know. But to me it seemed that lots of people were talking a lot of **** about the pick as they compared him to other wr still available, so I wanted to point out that his WR skills (almost definitely) aren't why we picked him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, pay attention sometime when you are watching a crime drama on TV. I swear to God that the bad guy is named Ray like 80% of the time. It's like, "WTF, Hollywood?"...there are a million and one men's names and the creative entertainment geniuses out there can't come up with another name for the antagonist?!
