The Bills could have Calvin Johnson 2.0 sitting on the board at 28 and I wouldn't bet against them to take a 5'10 DB with 4.55 speed.   That's been true for about 30 years now. 

Sammy Watkins wants to have a word with you.

Nobody on this team can catch the effing ball. Seriously, nobody. None of the WR. Knox has gotten better, and Kincaid has gotten better, but no reliable pass catchers on the roster. I get that Josh throws it hard, but your job is to catch the ball. I don't even care about size or speed of the WRs that we get in the draft as long as they can catch the ball.

Huh? Shakir and Kincaid had extremely high catch rates.

As they should if he is still there and we can reach him.

 

Maybe they should trade up for another corner, right? I mean it worked so well with Elam. And who needs Mahomes when one can draft Tre White to play in a zone? 

 

This applies to some beleagured Bills fans.....

The realistic WR’s we could have without significantly trading up would be Troy Franklin or Brian Thomas. 
 

MHJ, Nabers and Odunze will be long gone and I want nothing with Coleman he’s a Gabe Davis clone

 

Also Xavier Legette and the two Texas WRs.  All three will likely go in the late R1/early R2 area.

I get that, but he was pretty fricking good in his first two seasons when healthy. In the final game of the 2015 season, he metaphorically sent Revis to the glue factory.  Basically uncoverable. Of course, his career was a disappointment overall.

Yes and I would like to have a word with dopey ass Whaley. He gave away the store for Watkins. The only problems were that our QB and OL sucked at the time. You know.....little things. 

I hated that trade the day it was made and was right here bitching about it. If we had stayed at 9 we could have drafted Aaron Donald or Odell Beckham Jr. (if they really wanted a receiver).  Whaley was a horror show. He gave away the store.

I haven't seen much of him but he sounds good.

 

That said, I am not so sure about McDermott being willing to draft a WR in round one, need withstanding. I mean after all, the safeties are getting a bit long in the tooth, no? 😒

Poyer will likely play one last year. Draft a 1st round wr with size and speed. Get a FS in the 2nd round.  DT in the 3rd and turn around and draft wr again in the 4th. We're fine at LB, TE and to some degree OL.  SIgn Araiza and draft late a better kicker. What ever cap money we have after restructures use on defense.

I saw Bucky Brooks mock us a CB and Daniel Jeramiah mock us a DT and I got so mad I went outside and yelled at the flowers.

If the Bills end up with Adonai it will be a Kincaid level pick.  He was a key reason UGA won back to back championships.  Brady will love him.  He is a perfect combo of size, speed with good hands.  He is exactly what this offense needs.

 

Then grab Ladd McConkey later in the draft to add a great route runner with excellent hands and speed and we’ll be set at WR for the next 5-10 years.

Sure feels like they need 3 things glaringly before you even get into the depth issues etc.

 

A premiere Pass Rusher.  A guy who wins against anyone and against double teams...Bosa/Watt...etc...Not going to find one at the bottom of the draft.

A legitimate number 1 wr.  A guy who catches everything, big wingspan and is tough.  A guy who would have caught all 3 perfect deep balls sunday.

A burner wr with size.  A guy who scares the defense at all times.  This coupled with a new #1, Kincaid, Cook & shakir and this offense is ready to go.

 

Can they get that in one offseason?  I don't think so.  If they could get out of Diggs and Miller's contracts somehow via trade possibly.  

 

They can and have to draft at least one WR in the draft who can play day one and one in free agency who can help right away on day 1.  

 

I think they need to draft a center and then there is the whole rebuilding of the defense.  With all the resources that have been put into the defense that was the biggest letdown sunday.  The Defensive line was MIA.  So was KC's essentially except for that last drive.  It has to be better somehow.  

 

I have no idea how they accomplish this in one offseason with a top heavy roster already.  It will take a bunch of restructures, some sort of trade and their best draft yet.   

 

I am already looking forward to it and can't wait to go to the stadium next year.

Sounds like Shorter.  same size.   He had a great camp, got a year to watch and learn from the sidelines    year 2 I think that kid can play.  Sherfield had that amazing TD off the deflected pass vs Miami but otherwise he's didnt do much at all this year.  This kid can be the WR3/4

 

 

Kincaid and Shakir both elite hands and concentration. Huge boosts from the young dudes down the stretch, they carried this team since the bye. 

I see Shorter more as a 5/6…if he’s getting meaningful reps, something went seriously wrong…

Interesting he has current fan-favorite Troy Franklin going right after our pick to the KC Chiefs. (@HappyDays)

 

If that played out, I cant imagine the number of Mitchel vs Franklin comparison threads we'd have here throughout their careers.

 

I also wont be surprised to watch KC leapfrog us to #25 and get the WR we both wanted...

Perhaps you missed last seasons draft?

We can count on KC aggressively going after a WR early in this draft.  They won’t trot out this same crew again next year.
