I think McKenzie makes the team as one of your WRs. Foster was a huge prospect going into college and would be on pace for 1300 yards as a rookie based on his stats after his return from release. I'd say he's pretty promising. Zay Jones was hit-or-miss. Beasley and Brown have actually been pretty consistent in their career. Roberts is mostly for ST but he has done well as a WR4 or 5 in the past. It's not an amazing bunch, but it's not as terrible as you imply, and definitely improved over last year's bunch (who still went 5-5 with no consistency and many injuries when Allen played a complete game).

Maybe that was true his rookie year, but this sounds more like a narrative than anything based on actual fact. Just my meaningless observation. He had a few good games last year but from watching other teams with excellent receivers, I think for the most part he isn't the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 In Beane's post draft presser he was asked about David Sills. He had Sills on his draft board and he said there were other receivers drafted that were not on his board. He has pretty good size, 6'3 210, and he has a knack of catching contested balls. I think the WR 5 spot comes down to Sills and Duke Williams. I think Roberts will be WR 6. Brown, Beasley, Foster, and Jones the other 4 WRs.

See, I just think those excellent receivers look excellent when they have elite QBs not in their rookie years throwing to them. Think about John Brown. When Flacco was throwing to him, he was on pace for 1000 yards. When the rookie came in, he fell off the map. Zay will look as good as Allen looks. If Allen progresses, so too will Zay. The guy is more than capable, and the fact that he progressed so much last year is telling that he has an upward trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I hope they pick up a legit veteran #1 receiver. There will hopefully be some surprise training camp cuts. After fixing the line, I don't want any excuses when Allen only completes 50% of his passes again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to stop acting like we have scrubs at WR. This isn’t 2018 anymore. I think Andre Roberts makes the team as our defense is hopefully forcing a lot of punts deep in oppo territory. WR6 comes down to Duke or Sills (IMO) I agree with this post. Assuming the first 4, Roberts makes it for special teams and Duke and Sills duke it out (pun intended) for the final spot. McKenzie showed some good athleticism and versatility last year, but he dropped too many balls and his ST duties can be fulfilled by Roberts.

MikeSpeed Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I hope the coaching staff tries really hard to put a duel position person in as a returner. I wonder if Singletary has ever done any kick returning? I'm just not a fan of keeping a guy JUST for ST. No offense Steve Tasker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke, McKenzie, Sills and Ray Ray are my 4 WR I predict to be fighting for 1-2 roster spots. If Foster maintains his second half play and Zay makes a jump , which i fully expect, this is suddenly a deep WR room! Also , I like McKenzie alot as well, I'm looking beyond the stats here, but he looked incredibly dangerous every time he touched the rock. He's the gadget WR , I really like him and feel he has a legit shot at making the 53. Remember with all these WR had ZERO chemistry with Allen! Foster was the only one that Allen was throwing to in Training Camp, but even that chemistry was limited since Foster got sent back to the PS. So it's safe to say any returning WR will have a much better rapport with Allen , who will actually be able to gain some chemistry with his WR. Add in a tremendously improved OL, everything is pointing to the WRs and Allen having a muchhhhhh better year. This is why i didn't want to waste a draft pick on a WR, we're quietly alot deeper and talented then people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 What scares me about our WR crew is that it is all over the map. You have people saying Zay could be the #1, while others saying he could get cut. You have folks saying Duke Williams is the key X factor, while many project he doesn't make the team. At this point it feels like all we know for certain (I think, haha) is that Brown and Beasley will be key contributors. Just feels like the old days with Fitz throwing to Stevie and David Nelson, Donald Jones or whoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t necessarily disagree except for the fact that he was the All-Pro returner last year. The league decided that Andre Roberts was the single most valuable returner in the league. That to me makes him WAY more deserving of a roster spot than DiMarco or Bodine or Lafayette Pitts or whomever is fighting for that last spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 These CFL highlights of Duke are fun to watch. He tracks and high-points the ball really well. I think Duke beats out Sills to make the team. Duke Williams Highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbojanglezs Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 17 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: That's the problem. The blueprint of recently successful teams breaking in young QB's is putting WR's in place that can elevate those QB's game. The Bills are giving Allen a bottom 1/3 of the league WR corps and seeing if he sinks or swims. Ya but they may have given him a top 10 OL. Which allow an average group of WR to get open.

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think Brown, Beasley and Foster are locked in... everybody else has to earn their spot. It wasn’t Beane who traded up for Zay, and if some of these guys just outplay him through camp and preseason, I could definitely see him cut. If I had to bet, I would say he does make the team, but wouldn’t be shocked if a 2nd rounder who has underperformed for his first couple years in the league didn’t make the final 53.
