But you simply ignore improvements in o-line, bringing in quality vets, late yr improvement by Foster, TE that is healthy and rookies with potential there. It's like if it isn't a proven #1 WR, they're liable in your book. They inquired on Antonio, went a different direction that is rational to most, but no dice with Joe. Well, die on that island if you must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful. They're going with a different approach. I think it's the way the league is moving -- generally away from #1 receivers towards making a team cover multiple threats. You don't need an OBJ or Antonio Brown to be a dangerous offense. Great if you have one, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a contradiction to me. Whining?? I "preferred" Metcalf and (or) Butler at the time of those third and fourth selections BUT quite happy with who they picked instead, especially after doing more research on both selections. I would hardly call that "whining" or "contradicting". Maybe you have "Schoopitis" and try to overanalyze and overthink things in only a negative light?

The Bills got one and half picks that anybody has ever heard of and then a whole bunch of guys that the Board immediately said “who”? I’m hoping the professionals know what they’re doing. They spend way more time at it then I do. But...at first glance I’m thinking this one will be a semi-dud. Go Bills I think most of us at least the knowledgible ones know exactly who the first 4 picks are. They got a top 3 player at 9 and a top 25 player in the second. 13 hours ago, ddaryl said: hopefully in about 15-20 years.

We can all google the players after Oliver and Ford but beyond that there wasn’t a whole lot of ‘great, we got our guy’! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s lame and played out. We need to be a little more creative and come up with our own motto for what’s happening at OBD. Pretty much every sports team uses that phrase. The phrase the Bills used last year was "Playoff Caliber". I'm sure they'll come up with a new phrase this year to throw around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all......a "go to" was found LAST season in Robert Foster.....who in the second half of the season put up numbers that would rival other top WR's in the league. Second......we have not had a slot receiver like Cole Beasely on this team in a LONG TIME.....the fact is that guy is good Third.....Brown is actually a legit veteran wide out......and a speed guy at that.....remember what happened with Josh Allen's game when they took the slow lumbering WR out of the equation and started putting in speed guys? Things picked up. Third....and little talked about.....a running game that keeps defenses offense does a lot to help WR's gain separation especially speed threats....and this team has PLENTY of speed now. Once we got past a certain group of WR's in this draft I seriously wonder if they actually would have made this squad.........this team is so deep now that we literally were drafting for depth/cultivating at some posiions.

It is meaningless. I wouldn’t like some other team using Shout and just putting their name in. “The Titans make me wanna shout...” It is lame. You have an entire marketing department and all you’ve done is take a clip from a Hinkie press conference and plaster it all over your building.
