Gadget player and moving on from Isaiah McKenzie

Recommended Posts

I feel like obtaining a player with a skillset similar to Percy Harvin, Devin Hester, Dante hall, or Tyreek Hill would add a huge dimension to this offense. Imagine the play calling that would open up and the stress that would be taken off Josh. I like Isaiah, but his change of direction ability and quickness is simply not there. I understand these players are difficult to come by, but I have been thinking that drafting a player like this in the first or second round is not out of the question or even crazy. First post so let me know what you guys think.

Calvin Austin III - WR out of Memphis

This is the name we’re going to be hearing about 247 for the next 3 months than we will be all sad when we don’t  select him

We should only really have 4 players in first round on our radar that will make an impact with this team.

 

Devin Lloyd - LB / Utah ( Complete Game Wrecker) 

Damone Clark- LB / LSU ( Very solid and will be a day 1 starter)

Jamison Williams- WR / Alabama ( unreal player and fast!!! ) may drop due to his ACL injury

Jahan Dotson- WR / Penn State (quick, explosive, fast and good hands)  will be tough for KC or anyone to stop Bills with Diggs, Davis, Dotson and Knox

He isn’t good enough. For me it’s the eye test, but some may disagree and think he’s adequate. 


🤷🏻‍♂️  Perhaps. I feel when they actually made an effort to incorporate him he was more than good enough. He took over the 2nd patriots game.

A player" like "aTyreek Hill does not exist. McKenzie is a useful player. His biggest attributes are speed and he gets separation in the underneath passing game. He also was productive in the return game. Factor in he stays healthy and you realize he's hard to replace.

I'd like to see McKenzie on the team next year, but I'm not sure he wants to stay.  I think McDermott burned some bridges with McKenzie by benching him after the ridiculous fumble on a KO return against the Colts.  

 

But sometimes money really talks. Especially if Beasley is cut for salary cap and performance issues, McKenzie could take on some of Beasley's pay as well as the starting slot receiver role.

 

Neither McKenzie nor any other player is the equivalent of Tyreek Hill.  We can't get Hill so we need to have the best possible alternative plan.  That could be McKenzie, or possibly another player via the draft or trade.  Maybe some team with a quick slot guy really needs a road grader OL player, and wants Feliciano or Ford.

I think it’s all about speed and quickness an d YAC.  With a new OC and OL coach, I think the Bills could develop a better screw game.  It’s shocking how many of Mahomes’ throws were at or behind the LOS as opposed to Allen’s

Why cant McKenzie be that player?

As the OP said, Isaiah just doesn't come close to having the change of direction or quickness occa Tyreek type. Plus I think the Bills are looking for a returner and we combo. Which clearly due to ball security,  McKenzie & Stevenson are not.

I hope we sign him. I like him and what he offers the team.

"I come not to praise McKittrick, but to bury him".  ***** all y'all, especially those of you still pining for Andre Roberts.  Dude fumbled four times his last year here, didn't get benched once.  McKittrick fumbles once, benched for multiple games.  I hope McKittrick stays, and McChoke uses him more extensively next year.  We used to run the jet sweep 4-5 times a game, and we need to get back to that.

There's an almost 0% chance they're going to draft an LB in the first round and I'd be shocked if they get a WR higher than the 3rd.

Pass rush, CB, or an interior OL to release Morse/Williams and sign a Pass Rusher or CB in FA.
