GunnerBill Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 46 minutes ago, MrEpsYtown said: I agree. I just don't see a number 1 out there this year. That's why I think we might have to take a leap of faith on a Josh Gordon or Martavis Bryant. Perhaps there is a trade to be made somewhere out there. Think it has to be a trade for an older 1 who you try and squeeze two years out of while giving your QB a reliable option and your young receivers a role model and a leader. I'd have been in on Demaryious Thomas but that ship has sailed. I want no part of Gordon or Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some decent guys here. No, not all will become FAs and not all would come to Buffalo, and there are some names there people might not want to see here (Benjamin, for instance) but we've got a lot of cash to spend and that's all it generally takes to bring in someone. And this doesn't include cuts or possible trades. On 10/31/2018 at 2:22 PM, QuoteTheRaven83 said: Beckham re-signed so get him off the list!!!! Are you serious? Diggs is going nowhere. Fitz is retiring and if he's NOT retiring, you think he's gonna go from the Cardinals to the Bills? If he plays one more year, he's going to a Super Bowl contender! Eagles just forked over a 3rd round pick for Tate so I don't see him going anywhere. Cooks is a MAYBE. Cobb, Benjamin, Funchess, Bryant, Kearse, Matthews, Moncrief, Beasley, Lockett are a bunch of 2nd and 3rd WRs who don't upgrade our WR core. WTF are you talking about? We need a TRUE number one and with the exception of Cooks, none of those guys you listed will be available or are number 1 WR's. Thanks for proving my point that there's nothing available in free agency. Cooks would be our only option and he's a BIG MAYBE. I just took three seconds to copy that list. It was old. Sorry about that. But if your point is that we need a #1 receiver and there isn't one on that list, well, yeah, but how often does a #1 get to FA? I mean there are how many of those guys? 10 - 15? One of those guys gets away occasionally but not most years? Teams hang onto them if at all possible. Of course we were never likely to get a #1. DeSean Jackson's been around a bit. But what other #1s? Was Jordy Nelson a #1, particularly by the time he left? We hoped Sammy would be a #1 but he isn't, surely, at least so far. You may come up with a few others but it sure isn't common. You generally get them from the draft. But there are guys out there who would be upgrades and would help put good pieces around a QB.

There are barely 2’s on that list (Tate, Cobb, Anderson, Bryant, Enunwa, Cobb and Brown). Our biggest need is at the top of the depth chart. Yes, we need guys but our need for a guy that wins on his own is greater. You have to get that guy in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
