Stop. Just stop. Both WRs drafted have better odds to be PS guys than removing Duke and Foster from the active roster. 

Come on guys, enjoy the pick, but be realistic these guys may not see a training camp this year because of the lock down. WR is a difficult position to crack in normal seasons. 


wait and see. Only and the Only reason they may be a safe if they come in greatly improved or the truncated offseason workouts

But with better hands than mr hyphen


Well yes, I said this because some fans were bummed with Davis over Golden in the 4th, but we just took a WR with the same size, same speed but route running and catch ability. 

Just brought two guys with 2,300 yards and 24 TDs receiving last year into the room? 
 

A go specialist and a route runner.

This WR  year reminds me of how the OLine room changed last year. Complete overhaul, with a couple solid pieces remaining. 

 

Never you mind, Augie! I expect a full write up from you for Fromm and Bass...on my desk...by tomorrow morning. And no, I don't mean the backwoods law firm of the same name around the corner from you.

I think he makes the active roster.  Hands and separation ability like that, plus his size.  Sick.  

I hope so too but odds are against it.  Most likely these late round guys get cut and signed to PS if they clear waivers

So I expect these to be locks:


Stefon Diggs
Cole Beasley
John Brown

 

That means, assuming they keep seven receivers, that there will be room for probably four of the following eight players:

 

Andre Roberts
Duke Williams
Nick Easley
Ray Ray McCloud
Robert Foster
Isaiah McKenzie
Gabriel Davis
Isaiah Hodgins

 

A couple of them can be stashed on the practice squad, but it's going to be tough to make roster. Roberts has the advantage of being the return man. If  Davis and Hodgins stick, who do they replace?  Easley and McCloud look like probable cuts. That leaves Williams, Foster, McKenzie fighting for one spot. McKenzie and Roberts have similar skills, so maybe McKenzie goes. That leaves Foster and Williams--cut one.

Foster & McKenzie would seem to be gone unless they really flash something

 

And I wouldn't see Roberts as a lock either.  If Davis or Hodgins show anything on ST, he's probably gone too

 

 

Foster and Williams are gone. Roberts remains a lock he is an elite returner. I think McKenzie probably needs the extension to 55 roster spots to mean 7 wideouts stick.

It was nice knowing you on the active roster Isaiah McKenzie, Robert Foster, and Duke Williams. I'd say unless Hodgins performs badly in his first NFL camp, that the WR core is set as Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Davis, Hodgins, and Roberts.

 

I'd still like to see McKenzie on the roster somehow, no one else on the team can fill his role on offense.

My son the HUGE Bills fan is thrilled! His fiancé is a UGA girl. She’s always played along nicely and has her Bills jersey’s, but now she might really buy in! (Her first NFL team was Bucs after growing up in Sarasota with Season tix. She knows her football!)

I wish the Bills had someone else on the roster who could return kicks as well as Roberts. Having to use one of only six probable WR roster spots on a guy who solely returns kicks seems like a waste. I'm aware he's a very good kick returner, but still...

I don't want to see a 30+ year old kickoff returner push a young, talented guy like Davis or Hodgins off the roster.
