He is ungodly inaccurate. If you think you can put him on the Josh Allen plan than go for it but he's more of a PS guy in year 1 to me than a viable NFL backup. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easily one of my favorite players in the draft. He'd need to be the second receiver we take, unfortunately, and he'll be gone way before #60. Not to mention some folks here would go apoplectic if we double dipped on receiver the first two rounds. (And to be fair, they'd probably be right about that.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His writeups remind me of Josh Allen and wouldn't mind taking a flier on him as could develop and then be moved for a higher pick than we drafted him type situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had him at # 5 in my rankings and he is not an ideal fit for the Bills but if you are to believe Brandon Beane that they are just looking for playmakers and guys who can separate and get open and don't care about body types than McConkey has to be in consideration at 28. I am coming around on the idea of him even though he's not a perfect fit and will never be a true # 1 WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be Thomas, Mitchell, or Legette at #28. (Or maybe Coleman -- don't want to upset @HappyDays). But McConkey has late first talent.

The best DTs that will go in the first play 3T, the same position Ed does. Sweat is not a first rounder. Latu will be gone before #28. The only dumb thing that could muck it up is taking Chop Robinson, which might happen. It would be dumb, but I don't discount the possibility.

Cray51 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 My impressions from only the qb drills 1 nix - accurate, and a strong rhythm thrower. Doing know if he can be effective at the next level, but he screams career backup or platoon starter 2. Leary - best throws in the drills. Thought he looked really strong. Even has a bit of arm to him on the deep shots. Would be an interesting guy to stash for a year 3. Milton. Allen lite. Arm for days, but every 4th throw looks badddd. Great stash for someone 4. McCarthey - not a fan. Looks inconsistent and nothing jumps out to me. Has a great throw here and there, but not a fan. What’s interesting, idk if his first throw in any drill was good 5. Hartman - bad day, looks to be the worst by a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they can afford to spend a pick before late 5th on backup QB (need 2-4 to replenish D), but Milton is interesting as a backup candidate.

You do realize we're talking about a backup for Josh who will likely never see the field nor will he cost us 3M/ yr. EJ was a starter. Poor analogy.

EJ was a starter. Poor analogy. What does that have to do with it? I didn't say he was a starter I was just bringing up Manuel because he was a 65% passer in College and was inaccurate and that him saying Milton being a 65% college passer isn't an indicator of his accuracy. Its a perfectly fair analogy. Not all 65% passers are the same when one team is throwing downfield(Josh Allen) versus guys who are throwing quick screens all day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 There are literally like 5 to 6 wide receivers, not counting the ones that are going to go early in the first round that I would be perfectly happy with Franklin is the guy that I’ve been pounding the table for but I feel like he had a poor combine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not against Milton he's just inaccurate lol. You could tell today he was trying to work on his accuracy today because he was taking a lot off the ball. I'm guessing whoever his trainer is telling him he doesn't need to howitzer it everytime. He wasn't good at the senior bowl either. He has a ton of upside if he can ever harness his physical traits. I also believe that some team will draft him higher because of his traits than the Bills probably want to spend. I think Milton will probably go in round 4 which I don't think the Bills will be in the market before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I'm curious if Tez Walker can rebound. I was really high on him off of the tape and thought he was WR #4. Then his senior bowl was atrocious. Now he's testing off of the charts right now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
