ChicagoRic Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Tired of the "running start" argument. Think "Big Physical Possession WR" who knows how to use his size and leverage to beat coverage. His timing and positioning when covered and when going up for contested balls is what stood out to me in the highlights. Dude is big-bodied and physical and knows how to work it to his advantage. Williams is by no means a lock to make the team, but at 6'3" and 225, he brings a different skillset than the other WR hopefuls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I haven't read through this thread at all, so I have no idea if that's a legitimate concern.) If he can learn the CFL route tree and playbook with all the motion options and NFL playbook will be easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I dont suppose we can at least wait until training camp before making a final determination on the guy? I dont hold his time in the CFL against him.......shows we are looking under all the rocks for talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Joe B has the Bills cutting him in the Way Too Early 53 man roster article. He thinks Daboll would rather have four TEs than six WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Just now, Putin said: We could definitely use a WR with his size and physical ability especially in the red zone, what do you think his odds are in making the team ? I kind of got to see a bit in training camp before I can answer that Without that, I think he has better odds than the typical UDFA rookie but less than the typical draft pick, and that opinion is worth what you paid for it heh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can find us receivers, it’s the guys who put together Jordan Matthews, Zay Jones, Jeremy Kerley, Anquan Boldin, Kelvin Benjamin, etc. i kid but man have they sucked At receiver evaluations. Foster and Zay are good receivers. I do agree we've had some poor evals on some other guys like KB etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing on Hakeem Butler in the 3rd rnd will be a big mistake in hindsight I predict and the fact that the Bills went into the draft with no intention of drafting a wr whatsoever is telling. People saying this draft had no good wrs in it will almost certainly be proved wrong. The Bills wr corps was inadequate and bringing in a couple of undersized avg vets didn't really change that fact much imo. If Williams becomes a good NFL player it will be a huge bonus for the Bills but wishful thinking is not really a great strategy when you have a 2nd year QB who needs talent around him.

It could be just as simple as that They obviously did, whether that was right or not will be determined. Did the Bills need an undersized relatively slow rb more than a speedy 6'5" 230 lb wr? Time will tell. 18 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Maybe they liked Singletary better? It could be just as simple as that Butler was also available when they moved up for Knox, a te drafted solely on athletic measurables as he had no production in college.
