While I love how impressive he can be, I'm very worried about his injury history. With that said I'm down for either him or Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The fact that they can wear those tacky gloves you would think these guys would barely drop a pass. I remember about 12 years ago when I was playing in a flag football league, they didn't allow the use of those gloves and we had a team total of about 29 drops. The next year they let everyone use the gloves and we only had 6 drops. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeDee Lamb will be gone before our pick, and I abhor the idea of trading up for a WR in this draft, but he’s a guy I would love. Dustin Hopkinsesque with his hands.

The next year they let everyone use the gloves and we only had 6 drops. Lots of guys tend to let the ball come into their body, rather than just use their hands. Also, in fairness, sometimes, that's where the football is going - not every throw is a back shoulder one. I think it's also fair to say that there are a lot of guys with superior athleticism, who aren't necessarily the greatest catchers of footballs, yet can get separation etc. (I know, I know, a lot of them are CBs too). Having good hands, is sort of a natural thing, but it's natural because you've got both good hand/eye coordination, and you have likely been messing around playing all types of ball sports, from an early age.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 A guy I’d love to see the Bills get is Lawrence Cager out of UGA. Kid is big and fast and catches contested balls. Transferred out of Miami and got hurt this year in Athens. When Cager was on the field Fromm and the offense looked entirely different. He isn’t a first rounder. He is 6’5 220. Depending on combine he might be a 3rd or 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Another guy I like is Stephen Guidry out of Mississippi State. Would be a great pick RD2 in case we decide to go OL or defense RD1. He’s 6’3 with plenty of speed, great jump ball receiver. Reminds me of Josh Gordon.

I havent paid enough attention to college ball this year to know who that is, but hoping there is someone like that near our draft slot. Watkins and Hopkins!?!?

The sad thing is that Zay Jones was a “hands catcher.” He caught everything in college. He just wasn’t the same WR in the NFL. Terrible draft pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Never mind the draft. We’re getting marquise Goodwin back in free agency and acquiring Taylor Gabriel, and like 3 more receivers under 5’10. Smurf squad in full effect for 2020. Get er doneeeee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 For me it's simple; John Brown's hand size is 8.5". I couldn't find Beasley's but I would think also extremely small. They're going to drop balls with small hands and a QB throwing elite fastballs. Just time to draft one with all the physical tools high. Then these two will be excellent compliments.

thenorthremembers Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 With all the money the Bills have coming up I would go and get a wideout in free agency. The learning curve for rookie defensive ends is a lot less steep than it is for wideouts. If Dallas decides not to pay Amari Cooper, go get him and draft Yetur Gross Matos.

hondo in seattle Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I can't sing, dance, or tell a joke. In fact, I can barely tie my own shoes. I suspect there are very few people the world over with fewer talents than what I possess. But there is one thing I used to do - many years ago - uncommonly well and that was catch a football. One handed? Diving? Contested? One-handed, diving and contested at the same time? The bigger the challenge, the more I loved it. I would catch anything and everything. But the pathetic pinnacle of my sad football career was leading a flag football league in receptions, picks and TDs (yes, we kept stats). My hands were good enough for the NFL. But my legs weren't, nor my brain, nor any other part of my body. I lacked the discipline and athleticism to be a good professional prospect. What use is a WR who can't create separation? I remember when people hailed EJ's big hands as a requirement to succeed in Buffalo's harsh weather. That's kind of what I think of the original post in this thread. It makes sense to think we need receivers who can handle Josh's rockets. But they need to block, run good routes, and get separation too. In other words, they need to be good overall WRs - not just guys with good hands. We can't get hung up - like some did with EJ - on just one trait. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I wouldn't hate if we went with 2 WRs in the first 3 rounds. Especially if there's some success at other positions in free agency. Foster, Duke, McKenzie could all be upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
