Bills dont draft a WR

[njbuff]

So what.

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

People who complained about the lack of WR after last year’s draft and before the season were proven correct. We will see if they are right again.

Beane has a plan first year was about fixing the cap..and putting the f.o in position to draft a franchise qb . 2nd year was about evaluation..now he's spent money fixing the biggest weakness on the team the offensive line.  I'm sure he'll address the wr corps next year which is said to be a good wr draft.

With all the bodies in the room we still dont have elite talent in the receiving corps. Maybe we are going the NE route and just have solid guys there with no real stars.

.....exactly...hell even the Pats did...............

Darn the pats. They've taken every player worth taking and pulled the wool over the eyes of every GM in the league again. Doubtless every major news outlets will give them an "A+" in their draft evaluation.

L Glad this thread was started, I'm actually happy we didn't add a WR .We have 4 WR (Beasley, Smokey Brown, Foster and Zay) who at least have proven they can make an impact in this league. I know ppl will trash Zay but he was the #1 WR many games , going against the best or 2nd best CB usually . He will now be matched up with much less talented CB. Entering year 3 , feel he has lots of potential and can make a jump. Don't forget about Andre Roberts who is mainly just a return man and possibly the best 1 in the game . That's 5 WR right there!

 

They drafted Ray Ray last year , brought in McKenzie and Duke Williams and probably a couple UDFA to battle for 1 or 2 spots. Also add Kroft,Knox at TE and Yeldon who joins Shady as another great receiving RB. 

 

I don't understand why people are upset for not drafting a WR. We have the first 5 WR I mentioned that are locks to make the roster! It wasn't a need imo or at least not a big need at all. 

 

Like Beane said when asked about drafting Singletary over a WR , there was none rated higher, so he goes BPA , again , it's also not a need anyway! 

 

Plus revamping an atrocious OL is one of the best ways to improve the pass game. 

 

R-E-L-A-X 

 

 

He was just EXTREMELY overrated by the armchair GMs on TV and social media.

 

Just because they're locks to make the roster doesn't mean they're any good. See : Peterman, Nathan.

I'm actually not mad.  I like our current WRs.  I'm sure if Beane/McD don't, then they have a plan in place to get someone in.  I think the draft picks were excellent.  Was I surprised that we didn't get a WR?  Yes.  Upset about it?  Nah.

 

 

Actually picking someone like DK Metcalf had the feel of what past regimes would do.  A high draft pick on an over-hyped skill player.  The type of pick that plays to the masses but does not have staying power on the roster.  I really like what Beane has done with this roster both between FA and the draft.  

 

The WR corps is improved over last year (not saying much).  However, what is really important is that the O-line should be remarkably better.  The Bills had no ground game last year outside of Allen scrambling and leaping LB’s.  With a more balanced attack and the credible threat of a rushing game the Bills should be far more efficient on offense.

if you look at the way the Panthers were built it follows the pattern. They brought in rejects from other teams like Ted Ginn Jr.

[Buffalo ill]

If the current receivers can actually catch passes they get both hands on, they will be a massive upgrade from last season.

Yes, you are & it appears that you are also angry.

[Dopey]

So Zay Jones will make the team?

[x-BillzeBubba]

I doubt with last year's o-line even the best receiving corps would have been much more successful getting open for JA, who imo too often had to scramble before throwing, and do so on the run which obviously affects completion %.

If he can stay put and more often set his feet the passing game should be a lot better with this receiver corps

Lotta faith being put in people without a lot of production. Also, a lot of cult-like belief in OL being the cure-all for all problems, too.

 

We'll see how it works out.

[SoCal Deek]

What’s interesting is to look at the Bills projected Offensive starting roster for 2019. How many of the starting eleven did we even draft? Allen, Dawkins and maybe Zay? Will we add Ford to that list?

fair enough...but all I want is to see is a passing game where the passpro is good enough that  our second yr QB isnt overly under duress and can deliver more often  to receivers that have the extra half second to finish their routes and present a target even a young QB like Aĺlen will find more frequently...and presumably means more catches, more first downs and more pts. and that hopefully keeps the D off the field a little more too.

So yeah imo the Oline revamp being successful is  the most critical piece of this team's future

Waaaaaaaaah! Ok got that out of the way. Still need an elite receiver but will have to make due this year. Next year it will happen.

[SCBills]

It could be worse, Jets have a similar WR Unit for Darnold, didn’t take a WR in the Draft, AND only modestly attempted to improve their OL. 

 

At least we focused on the OL to an almost obsessive level.

Are you really trying to criticize people for caring about the Lines? The game is won and lost in the trenches.

 

If your line cant block, then your passer cant pass, your runners cant run, and your receivers cant get open downfield. The entire game starts in the trenches.

 

Show me a team with a good OL that didnt make the playoffs.
