TFBillsfan Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 With Harty released and now Gabe signing with the Jags, what is the strategy/approach for WR? Are we going dumpster diving in Free Agency and then hoping we hit in the draft at WR? Our current roster is Diggs, Shakir, Sherfield and Shorter (inactive all season). Currently not scaring anyone and probably in the bottom 10 as a WR group. Anyone else uncomfortable? That’s a lot of pressure to hit on WR that is impactful in the draft! Do we trade up? Thoughts or perspective on Beane’s approach? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts or perspective on Beane’s approach? Sherfield is an UFA. In terms of WRs you forgot the guys we have signed to future contracts who are KJ Hamler, Andy Isabella, Tyrell Shavers and Bryan Thompson. I'm sure we'll add someone in UFA (my hope is Noah Brown who can fall anywhere between WR2-WR4 on the depth chart and not break the bank). Then draft one in the 1st and 2nd and follow up with another in 5th. Edited March 11 by The Jokeman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceSlayne Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Id like to get Curtis Samuel. Draft Thomas, Mitchell or Legette in the first and possibly Luke McCaffery in a later round. I'd be pretty happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I’d be thrilled with Darnell Mooney or Curtis Samuel. Then take a WR with the 1st or 2nd pick.

Honestly, I’m with you on that point and not worried at all. With the lack of production rfor periods in the end of the season between all the guys who specifically play WR; Stef, Gabe, Harty, Sherfield… The other guys we have stepped up; Cook, King Cade & Shakir. Diggs is still Diggs. Add a high pick and a guy from FA and how much worse can it actually be? I’d argue it’ll be better considering the guys who stepped up when we were hanging on by the skin of our teeth will only see more playing time and targets. Future isn’t as bleak even without a selection that high for Josh. We still got Big Blue, that’ll always be enough to win.

They are probably going to bring in a veteran, but I don't think they can't afford a really good one. We shall see. Rousseau, Kaiir Elam, James Cook, Dalton Kincaid, and O'Cyrus Torrence all say otherwise. All were drafted to fill big needs immediately. Beane even double dipped at DE and CB with Benford. Only Elam and Boogie havent worked out. This draft will HAVE to be about filling immediate needs because we have so many of them. As to the OP, I see us going WR in the 1st/2nd and again in the 4th/5th. Two picks and a couple mid FAs and we're good to go. Not that many balls to go around anyways. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top guys next season; Justin Jefferson, Chase, Aiyuk & Higgins are all going to fetch mega deals. That leaves either another trade for WR or the alternative older or lesser options on the market… If he isn’t going to fill that position immediately with draft picks then what do you do? Trade for one obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I would think the Bills will likely bring in a lower level vet or two similar to Sherfield last year while also drafting a WR in round 1 and another in the mid rounds. I do think it is possible the Bills work the mid range market at WR if it comes to them Mooney from Chicago could be an interesting addition on a two year mid range deal while also still adding a WR early in the draft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get serious! One of those two immediately helps everyone on offense. The talk will always come back to Davis to an extent but when we had John Brown and Gabe pairing the success on the dee ball we were blowing the brakes off teams and looked borderline unstoppable. Need to get that element back. Your point about reliable players is right on the money. I equate it similar to the NBA, you don’t win games by the superstar or starting 5 come the playoffs, you win by the depth of talent you have on the roster as a whole. At the WR position exclusively, there wasn’t much after Diggs even with Shakir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
