Cutting picks is a complete waste. It’s all a crapshoot from here on. Last year the Bills used 6th & 7th rnd picks on WRs and only one made the team while 2 undrafted players (Foster, Cam Phillips) were on the roster.

I promise you'll have a better time if you commit to avoiding negativity. I do enjoy it, I’m really not that negative. It’s just upsetting these people get to make money doing this stuff when they are barely competent. I’m glad we have Josh Allen, but our WRs and our drafting abilities to find them is severely lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we'd draft a WR this year but maybe they like Duke better than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 3 minutes ago, BillsfanAZ said: if he didnt go to college in Buffalo, would anyone really care about him? WR ANTHONY JOHNSON, BUFFALO (OVERALL: 171ST) Among draft-eligible FBS wide receivers with at least 100 targets over the past two seasons, Johnson ranked tied for first in receptions of 15-plus yards (61) and second in yards per route run (3.48). He is actually a very good receiver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how did their likely future UDFA No 1 WR look after coming back after being humbled a bit on the PS? We signed Beasley and Brown, whom have been career #3s. We don’t have a WR that is capable of getting 1,000 yards a year. We need that in today’s NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 29 minutes ago, Ethan in Portland said: They really aren't that vital after the kicker. The rules have made returns rare and you can find a #6 WR or #10 DB anywhere to play on teams. Returns are rare? They were still about 50% last year...ST's are still a third of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you you didn’t see the play of Neal or Marlow at times last season. Like I said earlier, i thought neal showed very well and I also rate Marlowe (who will be facing a roster crunch himself, will they keep 5 safeties?). LB is wide open, Stanford and Lacey stunk and do not belong on the roster, thankfully Joseph will take one of their spots (Edwards, Milano, Alexander, Mo, Jospeh, and ?). 6th WR spot is also an open competition, I’m good with safety before you add another guy to the mix. Maybe they keep 5 backers only and 5/6 safeties, then this starts to make more sense (but not how i expect this to play out, expect him just to be cut and try to stash on PS) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he meant it less as an objection and more as a “mcd might like the kid more than he should” may or or may not be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if you wholeheartedly believe that you could select better players than the Bills player personnel folks. I personally don't think I could, as I'm just a layperson who enjoys football, but I think there are people here who spend a lot of time as "fantasy GMs"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least they are going to give him an opportunity to prove he is a #1. If not, next year's draft is supposed to be a strong WR class.

They were still about 50% last year...ST's are still a third of the game Take away extra points and touchbacks, its actually closer to 15% of the plays. Not saying it isn't a part of the game but special teams are not on the same level as the offense and defense units. Penalties cause more harm than players actually making or missing plays on returns. And this goes for the coordinator importance too. Just build a high quality roster and reserve maybe one guy designated as a gunner type after PK, P and LS of course. Maybe this kid is that guy. Likes to be physical and special teams is played in space so any size mismatch won't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
