Magnum Force Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Here’ are 15 Wide Receivers and I tried to put them in general categories. You can decide how they would fit in to our current lineup. I just generalized the categories so they aren’t totally accurate. Average Size, Good Route Runners with good to great speed Garrett Wilson 4.38 6’ 183 Chris Olave 4.39 6’ 187 Jahan Dotson 4.43 5’11” 178 Jalen Tolbert 4.49 6’1” 194 John Metchie 4.51 6’0” 191 Skyy Moore 4.41 5’10” 196 Bigger, more physical with so so speed Drake London 4.53 6’4” 219 Traylon Burks 4.55 6’2” 225 Taller, Lankier with good to great speed Jameson Williams 4.48 6’2” 179 Christian Watson 4.36 6’4” 208 George Pickens 4.47 6’3” 195 Alex Pierce 4.41 6’3” 211 Great speed Tyquan Thornton 4.28 6’2” 181 Calvin Austin 4.34 5’7”” 173 Velus Jones 4.31 6’ 204 Danny Gray 4.33 6’ 186 Edited April 1, 2022 by Magnum Force 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorin' Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 You forgot the fastest wr in the draft. At 6' 2" 181lbs he ran a 4.28 40 at the combine (faster than Tyreek Hill). 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo44 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If Olave or Wilson or Williams are there in the 1st you take them (doubtful) if not, take BPA in rd 1 (hopefully a cb) and take Pickens or Austin in rd 2 (pickens prob won’t be there). I also really like Kyle Phillips (UCLA) as a 4th rd pick. He looks like a faster Cole Beasley to me 2 minutes ago, mannc said: Watson, please.

I think he’s going to shoot up teams’ boards and might not be available at 25… Watson has gone from a 5th round wr to early 2nd. I've even seen a few mocks with him late 1st. Still I like Dotson and Williams the most if available. Phillips in the 4th would be a steal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's going to be a major run on WRs in the bottom half of the first round...there are a lot of of good prospects and lots of teams that need WR, including NE, KC, GB, NO, etc. I would not be shocked if 5 or 6 are already gone by the time the Bills pick. The good news is there doesn't seem to be much of a consensus on who the top guys are so there's a decent chance that the guy the Bills like the most will still be there...

whorlnut Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I really want Dotson. His hands are unbelievable. Runs good routes. Has good speed. He honestly reminds me of Diggs. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOboy Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 16 minutes ago, mannc said: Same reason teams passed on DK Metcalf. Not really. His agility scores at the combine were terrible, and quite frankly odd given how well he tested otherwise. There was also the question of his ability to run the full route tree. Many of us around here were enamoured by his size speed combo and would have been happy to get him at 9, and were elated he was available in the 2nd. Then we traded up for Cody Ford. Ugh.

LEBills Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If you slapped a USC jersey on Khalil Shakir, people would call him Robert Woods. Pierce was held back by Ridder all year and was getting wide open vs Alabama without getting the ball. Christian Watson is a first round pick this year, would love him on the Bills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I would prefer to get the top cornerback available at #25 since it's a more critical need, but if Jahan Dotson is available he's too good to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He honestly reminds me of Diggs. I like Dotson too and apparently the Bills spent lots of time with him at the combine. Wouldn't surprise me if he's the guy at 25. I'd rather Treylon Burks there but Bills haven't had any contact with him, I think he'd be scary in the Bills offense. Alec Pierce looks like he'll be a good value if they wait on WR. Danny Gray also seems undervalued, love the speed and it shows up on tape unlike some of these other guys in the 4.3s. I also like Mike Woods II very late but would rather they draft a guy earlier, hard to see a late round WR making this roster when guys like Hodgins can't make it.

He honestly reminds me of Diggs. I like Dotson as well but he is pretty small. Michigan really beat him up in their game and he got thrown off his routes frequently. Though to his credit he still had a productive day as he is a tough son of a gun. Probably will need to be schemed a free release at least at the beginning of his career so likely more of a slot guy. Though when he got free he is crafty, good routes and great hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Good work putting this data together. I think Williams would be a great pick. Unfortunately, it may be more relevant to look at who will be available at pick 57. The Bills really need a WR with the speed to stretch the field to create space for Diggs, Knox, and Davis. There are some guys on your list that can fill that need and should be available when the Bills pick on day two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsatlastin2018 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Christian Watson 4.36 6’4” 208 Jameson Williams 4.48 6’2” 179 In that order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Dotson really does make a lot of sense if we can sign a vet corner. Speed with tremendous hands. Josh’s passes aren’t like the others. Gotta have guys with glue for mitts Edited April 1, 2022 by NewEra 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bag of Milk Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Huge fan of George Pickens, WR, Georgia I think he will go earlier than he is projected. I love players who dominate immediately upon entering college like Pickens. He had an ACL tear and didn't return from injury until later in the season last year. If it wasn't for the injury he would easily be in the first round. He is an elite WR, watch his tape, he looks like AJ Green. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 It’s a deep WR draft. You just wonder which one is Beanes too pick vs, how he rates these CB’s. None of us know.

Mickey Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I think too many of us are letting Tyreek Hill live rent free in our heads. Maybe the fastest player we ever had, Marquise Goodwin, never panned out. Seems like most smallish speed guys not having Mahomes and Reid on their side end up like Tavon Austin, over-drafted. There are some pretty fast guys with size out there but likely gone before 25. The best alternative is a big target, contested catch guy which is a type we currently do not have on the roster, unless Hodgins somehow rises from the depths of the practice squad. If Jameson Williams is there you sprint to the podium but after that, Burks, Watson, Pickens , London and Tolbert would be the guys I'm most interested in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is even though they know he's probably running a deep route. This is even though they start backing off and flipping their hips 2 seconds before the ball is snapped.

I couldn’t find a time for him… some say low 4.4 range.. some say faster … How much… I don’t know… This is assumption for this year coming off injury.
