What order doesn't really matter as long as we get great value. And yes very soon we're going to have to target a 1st rounder to transition into Stefon's spot. agree. Try to find day 1 impact contributors. In my recent mock, there were zero day 1 guys, but RB Robinson was there. So i took him. Make this offense hard to defend by giving JA the most tools you can.

schoolhouserock Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I completely agree that the Bills should be thinking about their future WR1. Currently, I am not sold on any of the draft-eligible WRs as being capable of dominating in the way a WR1 should. There are some intriguing guys. Like Addison, for example, who has shown the ability to fit into multiple offensive schemes and to have great seasons with minimal “learning curves”. That is very attractive. He also appears to have an excellent feel for off-schedule plays, making him a great match for Josh. He has a very smooth way of running. So smooth is his running, that I find a nagging suspicion in my mind that he may lack the suddenness and/or speed to win consistently at the next level (same feel as JSN). Really want to see the measurements and speed / agility times from a whole host of these receivers. I guess what I am saying is that, if the Bills are to use their first round draft choice on the best player available (hopefully best offensive player available), it may not be a WR. It may very well be an RB, should Bijan still be there. He may be the best shot at a talent projected to be truly elite. I have come to grips with the idea of yet another premium pick used on a now non-premium position because the dude could very well be the real deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's come up small in some of our Playoff games. Buffalo has always had a one-deep mentality. Listen, our QB isn't as good as Mahomes, and our Coach isn't Andy Reid. Which means, you're going to need as much talent around him to compensate for that gap as possible. Love Diggs, but we knew this when we traded for him. He was 26/27, not 21 like Jefferson. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) If you can buy a superstar running back in free agency for about $11 or $12 million a year, why use a first rounder on a back? Use free agency for less expensive positions; use the draft for premium-pay positions. It's simple economics.

They shined here. If they convert Diggs and Allen good portion of their salary to signing bonus we should not only be under the cap, but should be able to afford a TE. They don’t get paid nearly what a top WR would get paid. These two are just big and fast WR’s. Gesicki can't play tight end. He is a big slot receiver.

But this boils down to 2-3 guys usually. 2014 is supposed to be paramount example - Watkins, Evans, Beckham, Cooks, Adams. Evans is the man, 9 straight years of 1,000+ yards and Adams. Otherwise, Watkins was a bust, Beckham was good for 4 years, Cooks can't settle on a team although he has been productive. So if that was the Mount Rushmore of WR classes, then you're most likely not getting more than 2-3 WR1's in any class anyways. But is it logical to avoid Johnston Smith-Ngijba Addison Flowers Hyatt Downs Dell And say they're not good enough?

HappyDays Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I'm not thinking about it in terms of WR1 of WR2. I'm thinking about it in terms of getting a skill set that we currently don't have on the roster. The less athletic route running specialists like Addison and JSN don't do it for me. That's what Diggs does for us. I want to take a swing at a WR with explosive traits. Someone that can out run everyone else on the field after catching the ball on short routes, or running to the ball on deep routes. To me that makes Jalin Hyatt the only WR that I'm interested in at pick 27, in fact I would pick him there pretty much no matter what. If he isn't there I would take the best OL available or trade down before selecting the best WR available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Top 5 NFL offense averaging over 30pts a week for 3 years now. Laid a 10 pt egg at home vs Bengals, is everyone now saying that the primary reason was our receivers weren't skilled enough to get separation? Because from my perspective our guards and tackles were the ones who weren't skilled enough to stop the Bengals average Dline in pass pro AND run game, and our Dline sorely missed DaQuon and an impactful edge rusher. That and our QB had some issues seeing the underneath stuff. Our receivers are just as good as either team that played in the Superbowl. They each had one stud in Kelce and AJ but that's about it. The Bengals have the best trio of pass catchers in the league and they got held to 20 by a mediocre KC defense because they couldn't win the trench battle. Its all about the big boy play. Keep adding to the trenches, get big nasty agile athletes in there. The fact that we've been doing that with limited success in recent years is all the more reason to keep at it until we get it right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
