Which receiver best fits our scheme

I would say to exclude Jeudy/Lamb/Ruggs, just bc I doubt they’ll be available when we pick.

 

But I wonder specifically about Higgins & Shenault as they’re the two 1st round caliber receivers most likely to be available when we draft. 

 

Really hard to say who they will pick but i like Shenault 's talent.

I think he fits our scheme better. He’s played as a wildcat QB, running back, in the slot, outside, etc. basically everywhere. He’s also 6’2” 215-220. He’s elusive yet big, and Daboll wants a scheme that can be very multiple, so he’d be s great addition to that I believe. Depending who you play each week you can line him up differently to try to attack the opponents weakness.

Sounds like a plan ?

CeeDee Lamb!! He's a throw it up and get it guy. 

He would be great, but I don't see the Bills having a realistic chance of drafting him.

 

I love Tee Higgins, and can only imagine what he would bring to us.

 

Another intriguing receiver is Justin Jefferson from Louisiana State.

Davonta Smith is tall, has great moves, is quick (not blazing speed), and catches virtually anything near him. I suspect that he might even go before Ruggs because Davonta is just that good.

 

Having said that, Ruggs is probably one of the fastest men in the world. He is probably MUCH faster than Foster and I am being serious. Allen has the arm to reach him too.

 

I would be fine with either.

Ceedee Lamb is a deondre Hopkins type which I think would an ideal fit

All the mocks have him gone before the Bills pick. I'd love to have him, but if he's gone I'm taking Jonathan Taylor in the first and Jalen Reagor in the 2nd. Reagor is a speedster that high points passes and plucks them out the air. I know everybody is high on Motor, but Taylor is SPECIAL and the combo would benefit the offense and Allen

Just my point of view i see two true number 1 recievers in the first round thats Jeudy and Lamb. Jeudy is in the mold of Amari Cooper,Keenan Allen,Adam Theilen route technicians rac up catch after catch with the chance to break one here and there. Lamb is in the mold of Julio,AJ Green, little bit of hopkins, he will out run out jump and just out man a CB he is a highlight waiting to happen. Whenever he gets the ball there is a chance he scores

I think we're going to be looking in the second tier based on position: Higgins, Shenault, Jefferson, and then some other guys who may rise. I like Higgins as I like his jump ball skills.. Not sure if Shenault can do that or not as I don't know that he's been asked to much? (I could be wrong on that though) Shenault is great for his versatility and I think Daboll would have fun with him like he uses McKenzie. Ruggs doesn't bring the size that we need, but damn if his speed wouldn't be fun... 

 

There's also some great later round guys who intrigue me: Micheal Pittman Jr., Taylor Johnson, Chase Claypool. Not that I want to wait, but this is a really really good draft at WR.

Also, I've seen just about every mock draft right now giving Henry Ruggs to the Raiders... 

 

Imagine this offensive skill group:

 

RB- Josh Jacobs

TE- Darren Waller

WR- Tyrell Williams

WR- Henry Ruggs

Slot- Hunter Renfrow

 

Sprinkle in one of the best offensive lines in football, and Derek Carr playing pretty good football, and that is scary.

  Tyler Johnson is 6"2 and rated the best route runner outside of Jeudy. He's the guy i would target in R2 and take a DE in R1. Another option worth considering is FA. Marvin Jones is tied for 1st in NFL with 8 TDs. Golladay is also FA but i would expect them to hold onto him. Either of them would be fantastic bigger outside receivers and proven articles as well.

Shenault fits like a glove tbh

 

I believe so as well. He has a unique skill set. And they’ve definitely shown a penchant, especially on defense, to find guys who fit their scheme. I believe Shenault would be s step in that direction for the offense.

WR class is really deep this year. I have a feeling Michael Pittman Jr. is gonna have a great pro career and he could still be there in the late 3rd or 4th round. I wouldn't mind the Bills drafting 2 wrs next year. I think there will be successful wrs to be had in the later rounds.

I’m actually thinking this too. With Josh’s development and the emergence of John Brown I think that they are going to chase weapons. I could see 1 early and 1 in the mid rounds. This we class is so deep that there will be great value in the middle rounds.

I’d like them to take a flyer on a guy like Bin Victor. He has immense talent and just in a crowded WR room. A big play guy without the volume but so much potential. He’s the type that will get drafted later and turn into a contributor in the nfl imo

I could get behind that.

I agree with you. There will be some really good receivers available in rounds two and three. I believe defensive end will be Bills top priority in the first round. There will also be some good FA receivers available which could help shape the draft priorities.

Is a big bodied WR really a huge need? I mean, we have Knox for that. Seems like Allen does better with speed guys. Quickness and acceleration creates separation and bigger windows. It seems to me that the 6’5 4.4 WRs never make it out of the top 10. They’re unicorns. Much of the time you’d be hard pressed to find a single one in the draft. If we want another big bodied receiver I’d look towards drafting another TE so we can run two TE sets like New England did with Gronk and Hernandez. This also creates more opportunities in the running game for Singletary as there is more bigger bodies on the field to block. Regardless, let’s not get caught up in the height of these prospects. If a smaller guy can ball, give me speed every day, all day.

My guys are Tee Higgins and Laviska Shenault. Think about this...Lamb and Jeudy will most likely be gone. Ruggs is basically John Brown in terms of what he can do on the field and his skill set.
 

Higgins is a big dude that has played on the biggest stages and produced. He’s a big possession receiver that runs good routes and is deceptively fast. We don’t currently have a guy like that. Put him opposite Brown with Cole in the slot and look out. 
 

Shenault is very versatile, but still a go get it type of receiver. He’s very physical and that would also go great opposite Brown.

Shenault would allow for a lot of versatility with base personnel. Everything from running all of McKenzies gadget plays to motioning to the backfield from 5 wide sets. I could see Daboll banging the table for that skill set.

What makes you like Ruggs more than Davonta Smith?

 

I'm not trying to argue, just curious.

Mainly the speed. Ruggs speed is truly elite. He might be the one guy Allen can’t out throw, but I would put Devonta Smith right there with Jefferson as well. I think Jefferson helped his stock a lot against Oklahoma and he will do the same again when LSU plays in the championship as well.

Davonta gets open on almost every play and makes lots of catches while fully extended. Ruggs is probably the fastest kid in college.

 

I would love for the Bills to have a choice between those two.
