78thealltimegreat Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Basically do you prefer a Hollywood Brown or an AJ Brown type? Cause I’m in Hollywood’s camp can’t teach off the top of the defense speed like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 It doesn't make a difference to me as long as they are a true play maker. I'm looking for a WR that can make contested catches, create problems and be open even when he is not. How he goes about doing that is not important IMO. Size, speed, route running, whatever. Just get me someone in here that can win against 1v1 coverage consistently. To me, there is little difference between having a potential player like AJ Green vs Tyrek Hill....vastly different skill sets, yet both a threat at all times. However, the pieces you choose to supplement your number one talent with is probably more reliant on a particular measureable, whether it is speed or size, based on what your true one offers.

YoloinOhio Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Type doesn’t matter to me. 1)Route running and 2) hands do. Big enough/fast enough to get separation but otherwise don’t care. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Ideally you want both. Not so easy to come by, obviously. Whichever way you do go though, it needs to be someone who can actually catch the pigskin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Between the two, I’d prefer Hollywood. But neither one is in my top 5 WRs for this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacoy38 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Speed- I think of solely size guys and I’ve got bad memories of Benjamin ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 We need a guy that has a big catch radius because Josh's weakness is his accuracy. Go for the guy with the ability to make the tough, off-target catches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardb1952 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'd think you'd like at least one WR/TE that is a reliable target even when not open. Definitely need the speed as Foster was able to generate pressure on defense as year progressed. The big guy/ big target didn't do much for the Bills last year and the offense appears to have gotten better after Holmes/ KB were released. Dabol looks like he was able to put WRs in position to make plays, but need WRs that can catch balls and make plays. Big, tall, slower/ shorter, faster is less important than getting open and making plays. I would like to see a few WOW plays from these guys, something I seldom saw this last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I like wide receivers who can catch. I'm sure that sounds obvious and silly. But honestly, I'm tired of watching balls bounce of the hands and shoulders of our wide-open receivers. Meanwhile, guys on the other teams make incredible leaping finger-tip grabs and drag their toes in bounds, while draped in coverage. Their method for getting open - speed, size, route running - doesn't really matter to me. Just make the catch when it comes your way. If I had to pattern my receiving corps after another team, it would be Seattle. They aren't "big names" by any means. But those guys are always making amazing catches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRightRevenge Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 All I want is someone who aggressively wants the rock and can highpoint the ball with gluelike hands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Speed, with intelligence to run good routes and good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxedBill1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Both. Ultimately I think speed is better for Allen with a strong emphasis on hands, ball tracking, and route running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 size by far. need someone who can catch off target throws and jump balls after allen scrambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I take speed over size but like a little variety and if we can grab a dude with both that’s always nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerlyofCtown Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) I think they can go for either now with the addition of Duke Williams. Before that I would have said Big WR. We saw what a Big WR can do even to an elite CB when we played Detroit. Edited January 10, 2019 by formerlyofCtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice_32 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Whoever they take needs to have some combination of both. It’s really hard to find a guy with both elite size and speed. If I have to choose one, give me elite speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
