Alphadawg7 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) The "Lebron James of football" - David Sills! Man is this guys story pretty incredible. His journey to where he is now is amazing and this kid screams McD and Beane type player. If we don't go WR in first 2 rounds, this is a name I would watch for later over the next few rounds. He is just starting to tap into his skills as a WR too, lots of upside. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20923614/west-virginia-david-sills-7th-grade-phenom-failed-qb-elite-receiver Edited July 22, 2019 by Alphadawg7 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Great story. Nice player. I’d love to grab him rd 4, but I think he’s going 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 As a WVU alum I would love for the Bills to draft Sills or Jennings. Both have a lot of upside as WRs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 We need Sills V and also Isabella, throw in Hock as well and our offense is set at skill positions other than RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I love his game. he's really smart and understands routes and what the quarterback is thinking. He finds spots. He's like a huge Cole Beasley. He's also really good with contested catches and in the red zone. One of my draft crushes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Except Lebron was actually generational at his position lol i kid ... I think he is a old school football player who can make an impact ... round 4 I say yes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Who knows what the Bills will do, but they do not NEED QBs, WRs and RBs. I'd much rather see them load up on the O-line this year when there's a bounty of great players, with many guys on the current roster being on short term deals.

You really are comfortable with our receiving core because I’m not? We have a very low end 2 (Brown) and a bunch of 3 & 4s. I mean you could hope Foster or Jones step up but that’s pretty risky thinking. We need a real number 1 type or at least one with size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WRs are at least adequate and maybe more. Plus between now and opening day, there will be plenty of them who'll become available. But for long term success, it is absolutely imperative to get the line right. And this is the best year to do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Would be a nice add. Kid has soft hands. I remember watching some of his games leading up to the Cuse/WVU bowl game. Still don't understand why Grier sat out. Did he think he was a 1st round lock or something? He possibly could have played himself into rounds 1 or 2 with a nice performance. I just remember thinking that was an odd decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both should help the WRs look better than they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing against kids much older than him and was dominating. Still, do agree it’s a little weird to recruit so early, but that’s why it was so big because it never happened before.

RyanC883 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 would like him or Butler. Need a taller WR. The guy is a worker also, and has a decently high ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was never going to be a top pick so I hope he didn’t think that. Yeah that's pretty much what I gathered, but I thought that was a thing for mainly high 1st round guys. I just looked it up and it's becoming a way more common thing to do. Day 2 and 3 guys doing it now. I get it. But I think unless your a lock to go top 15, I think it'd be smarter to play. I think a nice game can help your stock than a bad game can hurt it. But if you're a fringe round 1/2 guy, it will most likely drop your stock some. I know most of the guys are playing for that second contract, but the pay scale for 1st round picks and 3rd round picks is still millions of dollars. Thoughts?
