whorlnut Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 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. 3

RyanC883 Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 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.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Could do a heck of a lot worse than Knox/Hollister/James 1

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. 3 1

Expand 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. 1 1

If his ball security is questionable, wouldn't you want to ...not pass? Factual: 0 career fumbles. 2 drops on 49 targets in 2 years with Detroit.

Expand 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.

Expand 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. 1 1

CommonCents Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 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. 1
billybrew1 Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 After the draft is also when we will know if we acquired Zach Ertz or not. I want Ertz a lot, but at least James would make our TE room a viable unit. 1
