SoonerBillsFan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just now, Success said: This gives them a little more flexibility to go BPA in the 1st. Like others have said, I hope they still go WR in the 1st. But if they don't have a 1st round grade on a guy in that spot, they can go defense, and maybe even trade up in the 2nd for someone they like there. If they don't have a 1st round grade on a WR as deep as the talent pool is this year, they all need to be fired. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just now, SoonerBillsFan said: Diggs #28 Samuel Shakir We need to draft Diggs replacement at # 28 I agree. Signing Samuel makes me think they'll only take one wr in the draft, which I'm ok with if they get a top prospect. No round 2 or 3 guys 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Very good fit for what we needed. Curious how the contract will be structured. Still think $8-10 million per year is high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 4 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: Definitely not a disappointment. We need all the help we can get. Very good signing. We'll get that Big Body X in the Draft now. Id like to know where this X receiver is going to play that’s a first rounder. Got Diggs and Samuel making good money on the outside with Shakir and Kincaid in the slot. Unless you’re playing Samuel in the slot and Shakir isn’t playing. No way we could go with a 5 foot 11 outside WR in the Buffalo cold. I just want someone to piece it together for me since we absolutely have to have one on the field. I actually am glad they added a weapon. I fully expect them to take a WR early but wouldn’t surprise me if that’s in round 2 now. I’d say DT is looking likely and there is a possibility a Newton, Murphy or Fiske(with a trade down) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babulator Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Good news! He's certainly a gamer, just wish we weren't so enamored with small WR's. With Diggs, Shakir and Samuel, at least half our WR room will be 6ft or under. No complaints with the signing just hoping for more size moving forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 7 years he has 22 TD's. Davis has 27 in 4 years and has been a great playoff performer. Does this guy block? He just seems different to me, not a huge upgrade. Davis dropped the ball more than we like, sure but are you telling me this guy has no warts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsSbSoon Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 That’s a solid signing. He’s a steady producer and Allen will be the best qb he’s played with. I would not let it keep us from drafting more playmakers though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterStrategist Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 5 minutes ago, HappyDays said: There it is! We have our baseline WR2. Now draft the best WR available in the 1st round and we are in business. Exactly baseline WR2/complimentary piece to the WR room. I mentioned earlier today in the Armstead thread, that Beane is likely targeting Samuel/MVS, then going DL in RD1. Wr in RD2 (trade up to high 40s/#50, to get ahead of Steelers). Will see if draft plays out like that. But hoping we can get our starting FS before draft, and a backup DT. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hell yeah! This was one of the few players I actually named as people I wanted! I think he'll be very successful here if he can stay healthy. 2022 - 64 rec / 656 yards / 4 TDs 2023 - 62 rec / 613 yards / 4 TDs Obviously not the numbers Gabe Davis put up, but also - he was playing in Washington. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say DT is looking likely and there is a possibility a Newton, Murphy or Fiske(with a trade down) Curtis Samuel is more of a Slot guy. He's going to get a lot of usage all over the field. But for as much as you were joking, you weren't wrong that he isn't a full time Starter on the outside. There's a lot of different looks we're going to give to have him on the field a lot. I think we're going to see a lot more of Kincaid with his hand on the ground. Diggs, Rookie, Samuel in the Slot with Kincaid at TE. 4 WR sets with Diggs, Rookie, Samuel, and Shakir. Etc. And some scenarios you'll have Samuel split out Wide. But the idea that Samuel creates a scenario where Round 1 WR is out and the Outside Spot is now completely covered isn't accurate. 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the lesson? I still kind of hope we go WR in the 1st, but now it won't ruin me if they go w/ defense - which we also need, and probably more at this point. There will be very good receivers still available in round 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
