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.

I've been wondering how folk would feel about a combo of Mitchell/Legette and then doubling down with Walker later on. 

I personally would love it.

I think Walker would be a steal and that would potentially be a nice WR core going forward.

One thing is for certain. The quality of this draft at WR is like night and day from last year. Beane needs to get two quality WRs out of this draft.

Yep I wouldn’t be opposed to taking one in the first and second 

 

leggett and worthy 

sign me up

I don't think it will happen, but I'd be tempted to roll the dice if that was possible.

This would be the year to double dip and could right the wrong of the Rousseau/Basham fk up.

You can't ignore the ridiculous quality and quantity of wrs this draft. If it's me, I'm drafting wr at 28 & 60. I'm telling Sean he's going to have to make do with rounds 3, 4, 5 for defense.  Hopefully the 1st round wr replaces Gabe immediately and can transition to WR1.  And the 2nd round guy can assume the WR2 role. Whatever cap $ we have to spend,  use it on defense.

My top 3 wish list with pick 28

 

1. Worthy 

2. Mitchell

3. Thomas

 

 

No thank you on Worthy at 28.  I think there is a reason Worthy wouldn’t do the field drills.

except Worthy is much better WR and displays good toughness for his size.  41 inch vertical too

Sure, I’m not making any comparison about them as prospects. Just hard to shake the feeling that the 40 will get him drafted higher than he should.

Exactly. Use what cap space we create to fill the D with bargain free agents and maybe one high level starter.

I'd consider it as well,  and to add to the point,  the insane cost of veteran WR contracts also factors into that.  If you can get two high level WR prospects out of this draft and have them on rookie contracts for 4-5 years,  with Josh Allen throwing to them,  it would make a lot of sense from a cap perspective to do it.

Thomas Jr

AD Mitchell

Xavier Legette

Xavier Worthy

Franklin 

 

My general feeling of the Combine today is Brian Thomas Jr. solidified his stock, Xavier Worthy, AD Mitchell, and Xavier Legette improved to greatly improved their stock, Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman hurt their stock.

What do you think this reason might be? Both my kids went to UT, and my son even played in the Longhorn band. Thus, I have watched every one of their games in recent seasons. And Worthy was not only fast, but won most of the fights with defenders over contested balls. Interestingly, Mel Kiper has him going to ... the Chiefs.

I think he would be an excellent choice.

Keon is just too risky for me. Feels like a boom or Kelvin Benjamin as a Bill type player

Worthy having the fastest 40 time is giving me John Ross flashbacks.


I think if John Ross didn’t get derailed by injuries he could have had a reasonable career.

He may need to out manuever other teams. Especially in the first 3 rounds

They're all going to be gone by the 3rd round. After watching today, we won't have the luxury to wait till the 4th round to get our 2nd wr.

The good news here is it's pretty much a guarantee that we'll get one of Brian Thomas Jr., AD Mitchell, Xavier Legette, or Xavier Worthy and there's reason to be excited about all of them.

Yeh he is absolute lightening out there but if you watch his Texas tape he gets the drops and after the chiefs game I can’t take open receivers who drop the ball anymore. 

I think realistically at 28 if they stay and don’t  trade up

Brian Thomas and Adoni Mitchell  seem like they will be out of reach now after their 40s today.

So it will most likely come down to Worthy, Mcconkey, Legette, Coleman, and possible Troy Franklin.


Of those I prefer Franklin but Ladd Mcconkey can play.

I like Keon, think he's very similar to Pickens talent.  But Worthy has been my top choice for a while, reminds me of DeSean/Zay Flowers.

 

Keon lacks some of the route running crispness, but he's way more fluid than Gabe.

 

Ideally, we see us selecting Worthy.   If he's gone, I wouldn't mind trading back to top of 2nd round (1st few picks)...Keon "might" be there still OR plenty of other very solid options.

 

We need to get 3 immediate impact players (starters/high level depth) at WR, DL, and S from this draft. Be nice to double down on WR (4th round, or if we tradeback possibly in 3rd), get younger in secondary and a RB2 late.

These guys are all going to go higher than expected.   If the Bills don't get one of the better prospects by R2,  they're not going to,  and even that may be a stretch.

 Because he ran a 4.21.  His worked out is over.  Nothing more needs to be done on the field.  The speed and age of breakout makes Worthy a very rare and elite prospect.

I want us to draft a receiver who's a threat to score on any given play which is why I'm intrigued with Worthy.

His speed makes him a threat on every play... but the reality is he scored only 5tds on 75 rec this past season.

Franklin for example scored 14 times on 81 catches. 

 Straight line speed doesn't necessarily convey or take the place of great route running, deceptive breaks, elusive moves in space, etc.

I feel like Worthy running that fast makes me not want him based on historical data

Moss and Hill didnt have recorded times either.  With Kincaid, Diggs, Cook and Shakir the short and intermediate game is covered.  His speed is too rare to pass up.

Did you watch him play or are you just going by statistics? Just have a look at a few Longhorn games.

I have seen a few of his games.

Once again, I am not advocating for or against, I am merely pointing out that for a guy who, as you say, is a threat to score on every play......he only scored 5 tds on 75 catches last season. Stats never tell the whole story, but watching more of his tape won't change those numbers... 

They are in the books, people can make of it whatever they like.

Nix is alot better qb than Ewers. As a Freshman Worthy scored 12 tds on 60 catches.

I'd argue Franklin had a much better QB, IMO.  Worthy is plenty elusive
