But Beane looking into (if not actively pursuing) Antonio Brown this off-season showed everyone they actually are looking for that #1 Stud WR.

He was wrong. How long of a grace period do you expect for “on the opening day roster?” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Good kid, worked hard, great locker room presence, was proud to be a Bill. I wish Zay nothing but the best with Oakland (unless he's playing the Bills, of course). I hope the change of scenery does him good and he goes on to have a long career. ...and now we get to look forward to seeing what Duke can do for the team! I think this is a good move for everyone (Zay, Duke, Foster, the fans, and hopefully the team). And I think the 2021 5th is a smart move by Beane. Zay obviously wasn't worth a 2020 5th or higher to any other team right now. And in next year's draft, we already have two 5th round picks and three 6th round picks. So, rather than take say a 6th or 7th round pick for next year, get a higher pick in 2021 and start building capital for that draft. We know how Beane likes to have assets in each draft, so he can move around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this may be true, I think he also genuinely believed it to an extent. But as much as I like Brown and Beasley, they don't command double teams. It's why Josh has struggled, when the defense can play man to man and send 5 or 6 rushers it creates a pressure situation with very tight windows to throw into on top of it.

Shaw66 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Honestly, I couldn't. I didn't think Zay would see the field again here as long as Duke does well and Foster comes back from injury, but I thought we would keep him as depth. But then I never saw us cutting both Murphy and McCoy either, and no question our RB room has been thinner than we'd like. I hope Beane is planning to bring someone in, and I hope he's good. I guess we should get used to it. Good players who aren't needed get converted into draft picks. Beane wants those picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Phil The Thrill said: A 5th for Zay is pretty good but in retrospect, the 5th is a terrible return on a player that the team traded up to get, bypassing JuJu Shuster Smith. If McDermott made that call then damn....terrible waste of a draft pick It's impossible to nail every draft pick... Even Patriots miss. Itll happen... But draft time Zay was clearly the better prospect than JuJu. His senior bowl elevated his draft stock cause he was catching everything. He never dropped anything in college... Unfortunately that was not the case at the next level. Kind of strange to see a strength turn into a weakness. I think that drop against Carolina killed his confidence and he never regained it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI I didn't jump on Alpha early in his initial prediction post, but he was WRONG. You make a bet/prediction and you stick to it. You don't fudge. Had he said "Zay won't make it to the midpoint of the season" he would have deserved props. I did jump on him, and this is correct. Alpha was wrong. You only get props if you're right.

Rocky Landing Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 A sixth for Bodine, and a fifth for Zay. I have a couple boxes of stuff I was going to bring to Goodwill. I wish I could get Beane to trade it for me, instead. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ga boy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 My take is that Zay will have better soil to grow into a solid #2 in Oakland. Here the offense was a revolving door at most every position, and he received poor coaching, and the offensive strategy was random. While defenses didn't necessarily game plan to shut him down, he was considered as our #1. He got most of the attention. He was never able to pick up any momentum here. Here, the OL, QB, and even RBs have been in transition. Carr is a better QB right now than our guy. I think he is, and will be, a better player than he was here. Good luck Zay. Go Bills!!

Flipping for a future 5th rounder is pretty disappointing. I agree... The only issue is that all the other wrs passed him on the depth chart, and cutting loose is really all that is left. I wish him the best with Richie and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) I guess Im kind of a "root for the laundry" kind of girl he's no longer a Bill I dont wish him harm but he's opposition now and leave it that....I will go on record that I think his head wasn't on totally straight in Buffalo and the Bills kept the right guy (Williams) higher upside..just my opinion.
