Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Some good stuff in here. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/why-wide-receiver-draft-prospects-like-what-they-see-from-the-buffalo-bills -Ruggs of course mentioning his Daboll connection through 'Bama -Jefferson has some Tre' White luuuuv -Higgins thinks he'd be fine with B'lo because Tennessee gets cold too ? "Clemson receiver Tee Higgins, who is one of the tallest receivers in the class, is a favorite to head to Buffalo on several mock drafts. Higgins likes what he sees in the toughness of the Bills, plus the cold doesn't scare him. "It's a playoff team," Higgins said. "It's real cold up there, but I'm from Tennessee and it gets cold up in Tennessee. It's just a team that's hungry and you can tell they're pushing for a Super Bowl really soon." (I like the way this guy thinks, though Clemson players kinda make me nervous after Spiller and Sammy Watson) -Viska Shenault plans to be a Star: "I see myself being a star, honestly," Shenault explained. "I think I would be able to open up more space and just be able to do things that the other receivers don't do just as far as my size and other things." Sheanult isn't a stranger to Josh Allen, explaining he watched Allen in the playoff game against the Houston Texans. "I think he's great," Shenault said. "I was watching his playoff game. I think he's a dog. I think he makes things happen so it would be great to play with a quarterback like that." 7 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ruggs or Shenault. I'd be ecstatic with either one, they are both the best YAC, take it to the house from anywhere on the field prospects in this years draft. That's what we need. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroutDog Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 This draft is going to be, first, sooooooo long since we have to wait to pick at 22 (probably) and to see which direction they go. Given the WR depth, I would not be unhappy if they went OL or DE in the first (with FA still in play). Whoever we get, for the first time since the mid-90’s, I feel as though this organization has its head screwed on straight. Comfort. ? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your opinion, but if there was a guy like Julio Jones you would be okay to trade up i guess, none of the receivers of this draft could end up being at his level ?

Awesome post this is fun to hear seems like Siberia isn't too bad of a place anymore, Allen passes the eyeball test when considering the lack of talent around him the last 2 seasons and I'm glad top wrs in college see what his potential is. Bottom line he took smoke and gave him a career year and did the same for Beasley and last season made a total bum wr zay j look above average, howd that work out with Derek Carr in the black n silver????

Hardhatharry Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 They need a first round WR, they cannot take a chance and hope someone is around in the 2nd or 3rd round. The Bills are not good at picking WRs and they need to try to get as proven of a prospect as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Bills!!! I don't think people are "afraid" of those winters. I think many people simply don't like those gray, cold miserable days. Heck, if I call up any of my friends or family in upstate around this time of year, they are ALL miserable and bitching about the weather. It happens every year, so I stay incommunicado until later in spring. I lived 21 years in upstate NY and set sail long ago, not because I was afraid of winter, but because there were other climates that suited me far better.

Well, technically everybody has weather, and in August, September and even October the WNY weather is FAR better than anywhere in Florida or elsewhere in the south. I had $500 into two seats in Jacksonville with the Bills in town and found we were the only ones in our row due to the heat. Eventually gave up and went into the club concession area to watch a little TV with some shade and AC. I’ve turned down FREE tickets in Tampa. It is BRUTAL, and I’m a guy who would play tennis midday in August in Florida. Sitting there roasting is NOT a joy in life. Yeah, we get cold later in the season, but on balance I’d rather play in WNY than Florida if weather is the factor. (Taxes are a different matter! ?) Plus, how different are we from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, New England, etc? I’ll be happy when that bad rap from late show jokes just fades away. The people who bash Buffalo rarely know much about Buffalo, and I’ll bet most have never even visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
