MAJBobby Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 15 minutes ago, MikeSpeed said: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just now, BillsRdue said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushypeaches Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Foster & McKenzie would seem to be gone unless they really flash something And I wouldn't see Roberts as a lock either.

Dr. K Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) So I expect these to be locks: Stefon DiggsCole BeasleyJohn Brown That means, assuming they keep seven receivers, that there will be room for probably four of the following eight players: Andre RobertsDuke WilliamsNick EasleyRay Ray McCloudRobert FosterIsaiah McKenzieGabriel DavisIsaiah 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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 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. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing thats valuable about Roberts is simply never fumbling, its understated So one of these other guys also need to protect the ball if your going to oust Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocking, beating press, getting redirected on routes might be issues.

Rk_Bills86 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The scouting report on him has his comparisons to be Geronimo Allison/Mike Thomas......

KC has a few wrinkles on their downfield routes also. How sophisticated is it. People act like a route tree is 100 routes. 4 years of college and you better have mastered 12 routes. So if each one of them is run at 3 different depths, that 36 combos tops. Edited April 25, 2020 by Locomark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
