MJS Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I want two of John Brown, Donte Moncrief, Golden Tate, or Adam Humphries. I think we have to remember, though, that Buffalo has been one of the worst destinations for WR's for many years. It's going to take a couple seasons of Josh Allen slinging it before that changes. These guys might not want to come here unless we overpay a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 5 hours ago, 947 said: OL is much easier to find in free agency. If we sign 2 guys, that frees us up to wait until the 3rd round for OL & take WR or TE early. I'd much prefer that route. I don't necessarily agree with that. There will be a ton of competition for the quality Olinemen available, of those that don't resign with their respective teams. Oline is a problem all around the league. The decent ones that do hit free agency will get paid a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I like Moncrief's age, price and upside. I like TW next because he did produce when he wasn't buried in the depth chart but his price might be through the roof as the market is thin. I'd prefer to develop Zay in the slot, but Beasly would be cheaper than Humphries if you want to throw in the towel on Zay. John Brown seems to play a similar spot as Foster and Foster is much cheaper and looks to have more upside..

Funchess is an 800-yards-per-year guy. That's a guy that can help your team. If they were to sign Funchess to a reasonable contract but then also spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on WR, would it bother you? Rookie Foster Jones Funchess Duke Williams McKenzie That's a pretty promising WR depth chart The problem is they would sell him to the fans as a #1. I could just see Beane now making the comparisons to Anquan Bolden. Lol. I still can't believe he tried to sell Bolden like he was 26yrs old and in his prime when we signed him.

Captain Murica Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Only two I’d pursue are 1. Humphries 2. Williams - in that order. The others I don’t want or know they won’t come here. I believe Tate already stated he wants a chance at a ring. Even me being the optimist I am at times, knows we are a few years away from competing for a playoff spot regularly(I hope). Funchess, is KB Lite without the production. John Brown, bleh, I think Foster is going to be better than him. Cobb has issues staying healthy. I’m not a fan of Moncrief at all. Patterson I wouldn’t mind because he can be used in multiple ways, also, he’d have to be an additional signing if we land one of the two mentioned above. I wouldn’t mind Beasley, just prefer Humphries over him due to age and the constant increase in production every year.

FeelingOnYouboty Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'd take Adam Humphries. Dependable and a safety valve for our young QB.

T master Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 My pick is Tyrell Williams sounds like a really good pick up given every thing about him & he is young enough to give him a decent contract so he can grow with Allen & become a corp piece to the offense !! I also hear that Demarius Thomas could be let go he tore his Achilles near the end of last yr i wonder if released would he be a good pick up for a prove it contract seeing as he will be 31 & considering the injury ??

947 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Demaryius Thomas had already lost a step before tearing his achilles. Recovering from that injury at age 31 is extremely difficult, even most young guys never regain the same explosion. I'd stay far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 T Williams and C Patterson are pretty good receivers and elite return men. To me, that's killing 2 birds with 1 stone even if they aren't #1's. They'd still be valuable additions. Brown would be a nica addition too. If we could sign Brown, G McCoy and Williams, we could really focus on the OL in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Humphries is intriguing. With the wrs they brought in via late in the draft Proehl and Mccloud, and the utilization of McKenzie down the stretch slot is definitely a position of importance in the teams passing attack. Having a legit sure handed slot reciever would be a need Imo. I think Humpries, Beasley and Tate would be worth bringing vs any of the top available outside wrs. You could potentially get one of the aforementioned and a TE for the money Williams may cover. Where Buffalo is sitting I would go slot and TE in FA and draft a few outside guys and a rb come April.

billieve420 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 None of these WRs impress me.

Buffalo Junction Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Daboll seems pretty comfortable substituting WRs like the rams do. I’m not sure if that stemmed from trying to find a reliable group, or if that’s going to be his MO moving forward. If it’s what he wants to do then some of these slot guys are in play, and I’d expect Beane to go for pure value and “process”. My money would be on guys who’ve proven to be reliable outlets for scrambling QBs and are under 30... Cobb (Rodgers), Humphries (Fitzmagic), etc. Along with guys that have all the physical tools to be a #1, stretch the field vertically, or play teams. I’d assume Humphries, Cobb, Brown, Williams, and Patterson are in play. I’m tempted to throw Jared Cook into the equation as a TE option as well, though I think he stays in Oakland/LV or goes back to GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be a fine pickup (though there may be diminishing returns with stocking up on basically all guys that are purely deep threats like him and Foster), but Brown was trending down before Baltimore ever made a switch. Over the last 4 starts with Flacco, Brown had less than 30 yards in 3 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
