Guessing Bills wanted someone faster that could create more separation. Size is important but our front office learned that it doesnt matter if the receiver is slow. Gabe is a bit faster than AGG. Both are beasts tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small route tree and slow in and out of breaks because of lacking knowledge on the nuances of route running. Played in college relying on his god given ability.

You folks need to get grip on this size fantasy. 6'2" is more than FINE. ? I'm fine with it. Nowhere did I complain. I'm just pointing out that 6'2 is not physically imposing and in no way should be considered as having size at the WR position. If he produces, who cares.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I like the pick again. He has some size without compromising a ton on speed at 4.54. But keeping with the theme so far with Epenesa and Moss, he has big time college production and is young. Good job Bills once again. I think we need a linebacker, but so far check all the boxes for me. DE, #2 back with pop, and now a larger ball pointing WR with college production, not some project. NFL had him as a 4th and that’s where he went, appropriate value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those top 4 are locked in unless Davis blows. I like McKittrick better than Roberts as a PR, KR, and jet sweep specialist. But it's clear that Roberts, McKittrick, and the Duke are fighting for the 5th and 6th spots. RayRay and Foster are hanging on by their fingernails.

Davis is going to bounce Foster and probably Duke off the roster due to ST. seems like Davis is going to be a solid STer and a project/depth WR. Seems like a good pick at this point.

He has the perfect build and traits for a highly productive gunner. He seems very raw outside of that. He does have the skill set to be a WR4 and let Josh toss one up there. Better than Foster? We will soon out. He is under team control on the cheap for 4 years so Foster should be zooming with Aaron Rodgers and Carson Wentz and the rest of the draft losers.

I liked Peoples-Jones and Gandy, but don't hate this pick in the least either - all for it, just wondering why we may have gone this route versus others still on the board given what info is out there. Trying to look more into Davis, but wondering what stood out about him more than others if the physical part of the game is what people are saying he's known for.
