Which WR prospect will the Bengals screw us out of?

Give me Xavier Worthy WR Texas.

 

Great hands, 4.3 speed, quick and great route runner. He is a Devonte Smith Type, though 1 inch taller and 10-12 lbs heavier.

 

Plus he’s a 559 area code like Josh….

 

Good call.

 

Side note, I like that there arent any WRs on Draftek's list that are under 5'11" and only 2 that are under 6'.

The Bills could draft anywhere between 32 and probably #8.

 

Way too early to even reasonably guess.

We're going to have to cut Poyer, White, Morse, Harty and others just to get even on cap.

 

We arent dropping $25M+/yr on another WR.

 

Even with all of Beane's magic.

 

 

Getting to cap won't be particularly difficult.

 

But yeah, wildly expensive FAs aren't going to be on the menu this year.

Yup. He will. And with restructuring and possible realistic cap cuts the Bills have a TON of flexibility to be the team to offer it.

 

Nah. They really don't. I mean, it's theoretically possible, but not realistically. And we certainly have some flexibility, but very far from a ton.

 

Spotrac has us 30th out of the 32 teams in cap space next year, $42M over the cap. OvertheCap has us 31st out of 32, with $29M over. Either way, not good.

 

In 2025, OvertheCap and Spotrac both have us 29th.

The Bills need to draft a WR.

 

The Bengals are about to lose Tee Higgins, and once again find themselves without Burrow and likely with another Top 10 pick.

 

As of today, the Bills are at #17 and the Bengals #12. I expect the Bills to end up around #15 and Bengals around #10.

 

Neither team will have a chance at Marvin Harrison Jr. He'll be a top 5 pick, hopefully not to New England. I imagine Odunze will be off the board before either of us pick as well. Although Odunze is close to a Higgins clone and Bengals might end up pretty high if they likely lose out.

 

Looking at Draftek's list (just to get a list), who do we like?

I could see Cincy going back to the LSU well and grabbing Nabers, which would leave Coleman or Egbuka depending on who drafts between us.

 

Or do we go CB then get one of the 2nd round WRs? Anyone there to get excited about?

 

CB? I'll drive 750 miles for that riot! B-)

Trading up in the early 1st for a WR! Bold move!

We have to....we already have no WR2 and Diggs is approaching 30.  Josh's prime years start now!  We're going to need multiple wrs over the next 2 drafts. Harty, Hines and Sherfield are as good as gone.  Shakir looks promising but we have no idea what we have in Shorter.  The time to strike on young first contract wrs is now.  Hopefully it starts with Odunze!!

Agreed man! Dr. Donkeystein has probably never heard of the guy. I’m a UW fan and Odunze gets us pointed in the right direction. A legit number 2 and a solid potential number 1 after Diggs checks out.

This draft is too deep at WR, and we have too many holes on Defense, to waste resources on moving up for a WR.

 

I like Odunze, but I'd rather stay put, draft whoever falls to us at 15 (Coleman/Ebuka/Worthy) and even take another WR later on with one of the picks we save by not trading up. Like Jermaine Burton if he falls to the 4th or 5th.

You're a real Tool, Maynard.

I don't know crap about the draft as I don't watch college ball.  This team does need another WR though.  I'd love to see them grab a speedy outside guy with good hands.  Outside of that I think this team is going to need to retool the defense quite a bit.  We all know McD loves his defensive drafts.  Other than depth, I think our Oline is fine.  I know people rag on Brown but he has been playing pretty well outside of a couple games.  I would go so far to say that our Oline has been one of the best in the NFL this year honestly.

I think our 1st pick will be CB.

 

I also think the fans have a much larger demand for RT than our FO. The OL is playing the best we've seen in years, maybe decades. No need to spend a 1st there when we have bigger holes elsewhere.

 

I could see New England, Arizona, Green Bay, Jets, and Broncos all possibly taking a WR if their guy is there, so agree Odunze isnt falling to us either. So who we got?

 

 

Think they'll learn from the Elam pick?? Go get Legette or Coleman!! Get a WR with a NFL body and freakish ability.

Give me Keon Coleman, he's the guy who I realistically would want given the draft position. 

 

All of them are excellent choices though. 

Don't sleep on Xavier Legette. He's Deebo Samuel like

I’d be fine with either, but I think Coleman has a skillset that will directly complement Allen, he has real WR1 upside.

Given I live close to Tallahassee and I'm married to a FL State Alum who makes me watch every game either on TV or in person, I agree.  Coleman is a special talent.
