We were linked to him a few years back. Seems the Bills usually get their guy even if it’s not the first attempt. I actually expect this to happen.

would love this.  wanted him before det got him.  I think James would help bring this offense to next level with blocking and catching ability.  he is a total TE.

Lee Smith catches footballs?!  Since when?

Expand  

 

Lee Smith has a career catch rate of 83.1%. 

 

He says himself that he's never had any trouble catching the football, and most of the "targets" he doesn't catch are balls thrown at his feet to avoid a sack.

 

He also says that his problem as a receiver isn't catching the football, it's that he can't separate.

Post draft pickup if they don’t end up picking anyone else before then makes sense.

Since nobody expects us to take a TE in any round, JJ is likely better than nothing, since he is likely already better than anybody in this draft. 

 

And especially since we (the TBD draft room) are only interested in drafting players who will contribute THIS YEAR.

I think a lot of my bias is based upon my perception that when Smith is on the field, the odds of him being an actual target are small.

He'd tell you that himself.  It's because while he can run routes, his style would be best described as "lumbering" and he can't separate.  He gets to be a target when the other team forgets to cover him, then as he said in an interview, after he catches one they tend to put those plays in the back of the playbook until they fall out of the recent film.

Smith is an easy target for fans because he doesn’t make many eye opening plays, those same fans keeping harping on how important Star is. 

 

Smith played a similar role on offense for the Bills as Star does on D.

 

 I think he is easily replaceable but he had a did have a good season. The only time he bothered me was when he was getting flags. I’d like to see some 2020 stats with Smith on the field vs. Smith off the field.
