Mark Vader Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Good for Metcalf, but I'm still fine with who we drafted. Although I was hoping for Deebo Samuel. Thus is life, you don't always get what you want. This year, I am hoping the Bills draft at least 2 receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both tackles spots are very important and maybe the bills have lagged behind because they didn't value it for a decade Tons of the premier edge rushers come off the RT side so I don't want to hear how it's not important. Von to JJ to tons of other greats primarily line over the RT.. so would I take Lane Johnson ? And the word potentially you said is key... DK can potentially be great and so can Ford Edited January 6, 2020 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s better than advertised as far as only running straight line routes but come on it’s Russel Wilson. Everyone is open during his scramble drills. Seattle was the best possible landing spot in the world for him. I know the criticism coming out was that he could only run straight line routes, that's not true, but even when he does, he's really effective. He's playing extremely well.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Fan in Chicago said: I know this thread is about Metcalf but even if you assume that Beane did not see the value, it does not excuse adding more talent at the receiving position. Emmanuel Sanders was available in the middle of the season. He could be had and yet we did not try/outbid the 49ers. He would have been a great vet presence on and off the field for a young QB. There was no excuse not to get him If I had to guess, Beane probably liked John Brown better, and He wasn’t going to pay both Brown and Sanders— they are pretty similar receivers. I think where Beane went wrong was not looking for a “big” receiver to add to the speed and quickness guys we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no excuse not to get him The 49ers are sending a third- and fourth-round pick to the Broncos in exchange for Sanders and a fifth-round pick Would you really give up MORE than a 3rd and 4th round pick for a 32 yr old WR that is going to be a free agent next season? I was surprised the broncos got that much for him. I guess if they win the superbowl it will be worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have access to The Athletic look at the grades they give each game. Ford has graded out well when playing guard, but is the lowest rated Bills player on the list of players who qualify for season long grades because he grades out so poorly when playing RT.

Didn't think he would hold up to the pounding and be a between the tackles RB. So far I've been mostly right about Darnold not being good. Herbert will be the next QB bust. He looks the part but simply doesn't make plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
