3 WR (Brown/Beasley/Williams)

2 TE (Kroft/Knox)

1 Receiving RB Yeldon

1 scat back in Singletary

added a HOF hammer of a RB in Gore

 

improved 3/5 of the OL - they have something like 12 OL now

and let Mills and Miller walk which is addition by sutraction (word on Ducasse?)

Morse and Ford are immediate starters and improvements over Bodine/Groy and Mills

 

tried for AB

 

OBD did not ignore weapons or offense, what do you want from a team in one off season?

 

TBD thinks the Bills D was 'elite' last year. It was stout, not elite.

It scored 0 defensive TDs/ it was in the bottom 5 in sacks and pressures/ it failed to secure fumbles and tipped passes

 

Kyle Williams retired/ Hughes is 31 and Alexander is 36.

Bad depth at LB, bad depth at S after Bush.

Ignoring Defense would have been foolish.

 

And we keep forgetting about Andre Roberts. His contribution is ST, but he may even have upside as a WR.

Putting all of our eggs into Beasley and Brown are why the Bills have been the Bills since the Super Bowl era. We need more foresight than hoping for extra production from career #2s and 3s. 

Zay is solid, Robert Foster made huge plays, our TE situation is much better. Duke Williams lead the CFL and has NFL talent.... I knew Buffalo wouldn’t grab a WR.  Even though I’d take Preston Williams at this point.

They're also banking on a WR who was top 10 in the NFL in production the last 6 weeks of the season

 

trying a shot on the leading CFL WR (Duke Williams) who also has size and could be an end zone target

 

and added a receiving RB

 

and 2 TEs

Hey at least we tried for AB right?

agreed, this is why I am down on the 3rd rd pick of RB D Singletary. I liked Jaylon Ferguson there

 

word is Bills are still working on a deal for Ansah, which could also make Aaron Rogers life a little easier

Who do the Bill's take in the 7th round?

 

Maybe unpopular, but I want a kicker and a fullback.

 

DiMarco and Hauschka to have competition.

 

Alec ingold - Wisconsin

Cole Tracy - LSU

 

Looks like Buffalo will not pick a WR.

Is Beau Benshweizal still available? 

 

I’m sure I butchered his last name, but from what I watched, I think he could develop into a solid starting gaurd. Probably would need a little time, but worth a shot in the 7th.

Elijah Holyfield (I like the way he runs, but what do I know?). It’s late, everyone is a long shot.   Why not? Maybe a project OL guy?

And 2 RB before the draft.  Now we draft another RB high who is supposed to be a good receiver. At least there is competition and a solid OL. That should make JA a bit better. 

Do we have a stud WR who can take over the game. No, but neither did NE and I think that's where Daboll's philosophy on O comes from. I would love to have the next Julio Jones, Antonio Brown or Odell Beckham on this roster, but those kind of guys also bring attitudes into the locker room. Hopefully we finally get it right and have a solid, competitive playoff team for the next decade. 

 

 

I hate to be a pessimist but I think all we have managed to do is upgrade from one of the worst wr/te groups in the league to a group that is at least more mediocre than putrid. Beasley is starting his 9th year and between them, Beasley and Brown have 13 seasons behind them with only one where they had more than 1,000 yards receiving and at least 7 TDs. Yes, Beasley and Brown are upgrades but only because we had nowhere to go but up. The second coming of Reed and Lofton they are not. We might not need a "stud WR who can take over the game" but we do need one capable of 70+ catches, 8+TDs and 1,000 yards receiving (something 20 different WR's managed to do last year). I like our picks, mostly, but the lack of a quality WR prospect is disappointing.

Why can't they just take a WR to compete with Foster, Jones, Beasley, Brown, Williams, and Roberts in the 7th.

 

because then we wouldn't get to watch people have a meltdown that they didn't draft a WR

Because it’s the 7th. Not the 6th. So huge drop in talent. There will be those that say something like that

Can we have one of yours? Please??

 

I’m just praying for a miracle by the time we get to the 7th, but our guys found talent all the way into UDFA last year....don’t count them out!

Some truth to this...but you left out a couple of things.

 

1) Fit - these guys fit the offense and personnel better

 

2) Vastly improved offensive line

 

3) Josh Allen gets a full offseason as the starter. Last year he was getting 3rd string reps much of camp

 

I think these factors will lead to a much more effective offense this year, regardless of not making a sexy splash at WR.

Meh. 

I'd say reaching for WRs in a draft where there weren't any great ones just because it's a "need" would be more of a Bills-y move.

Drafting linemen because thats the strength of the draft and its what the value dictated and waiting until next year when there will be better WRs available makes sense to me. Another thing that makes sense to me? Having Foster and Brown on the outside, which is a "pick your poison" speed double threat that not many teams will have an easy time handling. Then, in the open space underneath, you have slot machine Cole Beasley and matchup  nightmare Duke Williams (what nickel defender can match up with this monster?). And don't forget what should be a much improved running game and the danger that Josh Allen's legs present, as well. 

Basically what I'm saying is that defenses are darned if they do, darned if they don't. If they bring a safety down into the box, Brown or Foster will light 'em up deep. If they don't, Shady and Gore and Motor will run wild. Drafting a mediocre wide receiver wasn't going to make a material difference.

Time will tell the tale.
