Which WR do you think the Bills will draft?

[Milanos Milano]

Who do you think the Bills will draft? Also, who do you want to see drafted. 

I think the Bills will draft Jahan Dotson. I also would draft him. But there are several others I would be happy with. 

Edited March 5, 2022 by IronMaidenBills

[LyndonvilleBill]

I went with Alec Pierce. I think most of the list you have will be gone before our second round pick. Size and speed and I think he could possibly be there for us in the 2nd. I also think this is the year they double dip on a WR. Like 2nd & 4th, maybe 5th round depending. Should be a WR that can also handle P/K returns. I know Velus Jones is a little older, but maybe he'll be available?

 

Either way, I would like to draft Pierce.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

The fastest one with the best hands

 

Reports are the Bills are looking for speed. 
 

or maybe it’s just preseason talk. 

[ROCBillsBeliever]

Pierce isn't as high on many Bills fans' radars, but his combined speed + size/weight is flat-out menacing. We are talking Megatron / Moss mold. I need to watch some game tape, but that's the kind of "freakish" combination we've seen Beane draft before (Allen, Edmunds, Groot, Spencer Brown...). If he lasts to the 2nd, I would be elated, BUT I feel like we would need to trade up for him. Package some of those late-rounders, and get er done, Beane!

[Your Brown Eye]

Skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

That’s who I picked.  Burks would be my first choice of the players I think might be available at 25.  The other is Williams due to his injury, but I still think he’ll be gone along with Olave and Wilson.  Sky will probably be there in round two as he is a slot only WR - and we need that.  Seems like a really nice fit. 

[BuffaloBill]

Really deep class so I think Bills go CB rd 1 and WR Rd 2 - I am not sold that Williams is a lock for the Bills. He is not likely to strongly contribute this year given he is coming off of injury. It’s also telling that He could not break through at Ohio. Finally, he is known to take plays off which does not fit well with the type of player Buffalo is after. Yes, the locker room atmosphere may help with the latter issue but the Bills look for talent and work ethic.

[ALLEN1QB]

I don't know any of them I picked Skyy cool name for WR.

Pierces’ gauntlet drill was kind of ugly imo.
 

off topic:  what did you guys think of Garrett Wilson’s gauntlet drill?  I literally lol’d watching him jump into every pass and cross the line on each side by a foot.  Looked like a RB doing that drill

I have to go back and watch it. Very busy week. 

[Solomon Grundy]

I’d take George Pickens over a number of those listed. Big receiver who ran a 4.45. Was a very dominant receiver in SEC before knee injury and looks to have bounced back. Plays with SWAG. Even showed it at combine doing griddy after 40. If he drops to the Bills in the 3rd, I’d be happy with it. 

[SCBills]

If Jameson Williams is there at 25, I think we take him. 
 

He should be back to full speed/ability by the middle of the season, at the latest.  And if he never got hurt, there is zero chance he’d be there when we pick.  
 

Elite speed/talent out of the slot.  Fits in perfectly with Diggs and Davis. 

[Dopey]

I hope we address IOL and our interior d line early and somehow get UM WR Charleston Rambo later in the draft.

Thurman, Reed and Kelly were special talents, but without Wolford, Ballard, Hull and the gang, I'm not sure we are as good. That line was really, really good.

With a talent like Josh, we have to protect him. From there, Josh can make a lot of WRs look good/great.

[whorlnut]

Jahan Dotson at 25. With news that the bills are granting Beasley permission to seek a trade, this will become a need. We need a slot guy that can be a weapon to Allen and will have the threat of YAC. Dotson provides elite speed, versatility, and great hands that can help improve the offense. Beane has said many times that they have to keep their fastball and Dotson does that. 

[FarrellsFinest]

Deep class. Id be good with so many of these guys.

I’d be very happy with him in rd 3…..but that likely isn’t going to happen either.

I know a lot of people are certain that one of the non-playoff teams will grab Jameson Williams...........and all it takes is one...........but I just can't see a bunch of teams with GM's/HC's naturally on the hot seat.......or the early exit playoff teams with glaring needs......taking Williams in round 1.    

 

Let's face facts,   they *might* have to redshirt him due to the combination of the injury while also being a rookie with relatively raw receiver skills and not having OTA's and training camp to get himself ready.    The Henry Ruggs 400 yards as a rookie while Justin Jefferson breaks records 2020 experience should still be pretty fresh in people's minds.    There are WR's who might be better overall players in the NFL AND will also be ready to go in OTA's.

 

The line that might be able to justify taking him and letting him sit for a year probably begins at Buffalo.    And I wouldn't even be surprised if he slipped until round 2.    But again,  I know it only takes 1. 

[T master]

I don't keep up with the college guys much but from what i heard about Treylon Burks he would be a plug & play guy so i chose him .

Pickens running a 4.4 after that ACL injury was one of the most impressive performances of the combine.............I wasn't sure he could run that BEFORE the injury..........I think he's in play for the Chiefs in round 1 even.

[JaCrispy]

Imo, Calvin Austin is the Tyreek Hill Beane is looking for...👍

[NewEra]

I don’t think Olave, Burks or London will be there when we pick, so I’ll exclude them.  
 

Jameson, Wilson, Dotson or Christian Watson are the other possibilities @ 25.  As it stands today, I’d probably take Jameson, then Watson, then Wilson, then Dotson.  In that order. 
 

the depth of the WR class has me thinking we go OL or CB in rd 1.  Give me Linderbaum or Zion. Elam or Gordon.  I think I’d take those 4 over the afore mentioned WRs that I believe have a chance to be there. 
 

I thought Dotson would the pick until I saw his combine.  I hate to base things on the combine, but I thought he was faster. Maybe he’s like 17 on the football field, runs much faster in games than on the 40 track.

Agree with you there, though obviously some of it depends on what happens in FA.

 

I'm thinking CB in round 1, but what happens if Jordan Davis is there at 25? I can't imagine passing up on him.

Could be. I had him as a rd 2 guy and his combine performance only boosted his stock

He always does that when he catches.Catches with his hands every single time and readjusts his positioning every catch. Allows him to make moves after the catch that you couldn’t normally make with all your momentum going one way.

I don’t think the Bills will take Jordan Davis. Does not fit their profile at 1 tech, weight management and conditioning issues, not as effective against the pass as they want.

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of negatives in the draft about this guy...I could see him dropping to the mid rounds, honestly...

[Tanoros]

I picked Wan’Dale Robinson because I don’t think we go WR with our first pick, so we are looking at second round or later. Wan’Dale might be around for our second round pick. I also think we will grab two WR’s this draft, and there are many great options all over this draft. But I think they look for a slot WR with the higher pick of the two.

After all these years of people playing wr, he’s the first to do this?  I guess it makes sense in some catch and run situations but every catch?  One of the requirements of the drill is to run along the straight line.  Training for the combine, one would think that he would attempt “not jump into passes” while attempting to run straight.  Idk. Dude seems extra raw to my eyes. Super talented though, no doubt.  I’d just take others ahead of him.

Not the first, Michael Thomas did it too. Raw is one word I would not use to describe Wilson. He’s been making big plays since a true freshman. He was the best football player at Ohio state this year. 

[newcam2012]

I think the Bills go CB or DL with the first pick. There are plenty of quality WRs to get in the later rounds. Didn't we learn a lesson from the Sammy Watkins pick? 

[Don Otreply]

The fast one with great change of direction skills, and great hands, jmo, 😁👍

I kind of feel like there is a lot of top end WR talent this year that might last to pick 25, not so sure about our 2nd pick.

Ohio State is always loaded.  Joe Burrow had to leave too.  Quinn Ewers just left.  Alabama is always loaded and he broke through there.  He can play.

 

I think the draft is deep at CB too.  So it comes down to who Beane thinks is the greater value at 25.  Williamson wouldn’t be near 25 if he hadn’t been injured and he still might go before then.  Can Beane ignore that?  Is Gordon/McCreary/Booth the same potential at their position as Williamson is at his?   I’m looking forward to April.  Bills are in a great spot.  If they go WR at 25 I chose Williams but I could see Dotson being the guy too.

To your points, it’s really hard to say.

 

We may all be surprised. I did not see them picking Groot last year and certainly did not see Basham as rd #2 pick on top of that. The Bills may get lucky with the BPA at #25. While I hardly doubt it will happen, it would also not shock me if they went interior o line at #25.

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

I think Garrett Wilson will be the best wr of this class. He has rare athleticism and still has room for improvement as a route runner even though he consistently gets open. He reminds me of Antonio Brown minus the headache.

Didn’t Dotson run mid 4.4s?  That is PLENTY fast and he has outstanding hands as well.  Still, a little on the small side.  He looks like a potentially great slot - now do you draft a slot in round 1 - even late round 1?

For me it's Jameson Williams @ 25 if he's there. Burks just doesn't have the speed we're looking for. Others I like in rounds 2-4 would be Dotson, Pierce, Skyy & Austin. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a wr at 25 and mid round?

[LeGOATski]

Jameson or Jahan

That would be Jahan Dotson. One of the best pass catchers in the draft. He actually should have had better numbers. He was missed a lot during the year.
