PIZ Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Considering the offense the Bills are evolving into, is it safe to say WR draft picks will have SPEED as the #1 skill, or should HANDS be the preferred trait, because of all the drops?

More than anything I think it’ll be stature and power, you’re looking for someone along the lines of 6’1 and 210 or bigger. They lack the dominant, go-get-it aggression in their receiving core.

Mat68 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think Hollywood Brown becomes the top wr and possible top 10 pick. Tyreek Hill, Tarik Cohen, Deshaun Jackson all examples of small guys playing well. Imo an elite deep threat is a must with Allen at Qb. With all the protection granted to Wrs being 170-190 is not terrible if you are a fluid athlete with elite acceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderingsquid Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) This is gold right here. Hall from Missouri was always an interesting prospect to me. All of his highlights had him fighting for every yard, every inch and he's obviously very physical. But all of his weaknesses say he has effort problems. I have faith in Beane's team to get to the bottom of it. He could be a steal in the 2nd or 3rd. Edited January 8, 2019 by thunderingsquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Brown even looks small though, when he carries the ball it looks like an infant in his arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEN-CAL17 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Preston Williams is being so over looked. Kid could be in the top 5. 6’4” 215, 94 receptions nearly 1400 yards and 14TDs.... and can’t get mentioned in the top 15? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Not that he couldn’t get mentioned in the top 15, I just haven’t seen his tape yet so I wasn’t going to make an uneducated report on him. 41 minutes ago, DJB said: Stopped reading when i saw DK at 12 We’ll revisit this in late April. Metcalf won’t hold up at the top through the whole process, he may not be as low as 12, but he won’t be a first rounder. He’s had serious injury issues along with poor hands and an extremely limited route tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 4 hours ago, Virgil said: I still can’t get over how, in a football world of pure offense and so many players across the schools, there isn’t a single receiver considered to be a “no brainer” at the position. Same is true for QB. Was thinking the same thing, but the two could be related...not a deep year for Sr or Jr QB's that have earned an NFL grade, so maybe there is some talent in this WR pool that just didn't have anyone that could deliver them the ball.... It's a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had serious injury issues along with poor hands and an extremely limited route tree. Williams put up big numbers against smaller schools. He was a very highly recruited kid out of GA and transferred from Tennessee to CSU. Considered a track kid, has speed I guess. Potential is huge. He’s style is like AJ Green very smooth route runner, same height and weight and can mar the tough catch. He also played 2 SEC schools this year and had like 20 receptions 200+ yards and 2 touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think we just signed a taller version of AJ Brown. Good work. It is clear there are no real elite WRs in this draft. We should still be able to get a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger body and can make the tough catch. If he stays dedicated and works hard I think he may be alright. Find 3-4 routes this guy excels at and take advantage of it. I think we could see him in the slot quite a bit. Zay Jones Robert Foster 2nd or 3rd rd pick Duke Williams Isaiah McKenzie We need a TE is what we need.

Yav Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Sorry, but Harry should be #1. He has the best catch radius of any WR and he wins the contested catches. He needs to work on running more routes but the kid is the best WR in the draft right now prior to the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 13 hours ago, dakrider said: They shouldn't draft a WR in first round. Notice that the top guy here is ranked a 8.0 and the only one they have a Day 1 - first round lock. I think there will be a few WR taken in first round but for the 9th pick, I would take an OL or a top DE if avail. There will be several good WR available in round 2. I'm beginning to lean the same way. It does not appear there is a WR anywhere near, or worth, a top 10 pick. My first hope is a top tier o-lineman, but get the best player available, even if he is a Defensive player. And all this tells me that signing Duke Williams was a good move, he is essentially a mid-round (4-5) pick already used.

You are correct and we run the same offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
