Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion.....I hope he is on the Bills radar.

Beanes radar can not detect Wrs

I know he is on the smaller side.....he's listed at 5-11 190 lbs., but he has elite speed and plays tougher than his size would indicate. He is also an elite Punt Returner.

 

At this point, he is projected to go in the late 1st round, so he should be a realistic option for the Bills.

 

The Bills need to put a premium on speed and Offensive weapons in the next draft, and Concepcion would be a good start.

 

Thoughts??

Thought same thing last night. Dude is a monster after the catch. He pulled through a gap between two safeties or possible a S & CB and the acceleration was like he was on a dirtbike.

 

Lil biased cause hes from Charlotte and first 2 season at NC State. He was most dangerous freshman year. Was a real dual threat that year... need to dig into the tape to figure out why he took a step back (yet still super impressive) after that year.

 

Could be transferring to A&M there were a lot more weapons to compete for touches.

 

Couple excerpts from NFLDraft Buzz:

 

"Shows remarkable football IQ by finding soft spots against zone coverage - consistently sits down in windows and presents a favorable target for his quarterback"

 

"Elevates his play in big moments - repeatedly showed up in critical situations against Clemson and Virginia during his breakout freshman campaign."

 

I also dig Chris Bell from Louisville... I will be honest though, these guys are currently rated late 1st- early 2nd.

 

If we get super aggressive and go after a true #1... these are guys that I'd want to compete for #2. Not guys id solely rely on to fix that part of our game

None of these WR’s any of you are speaking of are needed…..everyone eats!!

Beane deserves this smoke, 100%. I won't be shocked if we miss playoffs and they both get canned.

 

But ive never been more confident theyre going to attack the position hard this off season. Would've rather sooner obviously.

then there will be an endless debate over whether he can play 3T or possibly 1T. 

But ultimately he'll play DE for us

And then around November he will play DE because of injuries and lack of depth.

We're not going to get Jordyn Tyson from Arizona St. We're not going to get Carnell Tate from Ohio St. Concepcion or Chris Bell from Louisville are probably what we're staring at for WR's early. 3rd Round guys could be Skyler Bell from UConn, who is actually an interesting prospect, Omar Cooper from Indiana, and Malachi Fields from ND.

Can we PLEASE just trade for someone we already KNOW can play WR? Pegula isn’t moving on from Beane and McDermott (despite the fact that he should) and Beane can’t accurately evaluate FA or college WR talent, so we need someone who’s already been vetted. 

 

The veteran #1 WR trade route is extremely expensive in both draft assets and cap space allotment, and somewhat rare/difficult to pull off. And they usually come with baggage. Think AJ Brown, Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill...who else?

 

Remember that Allen was still on a rookie deal when Beane traded for Diggs, making it easier to fit him in immediately and long term.

 

Of course, Diggs then had a career year playing with Allen, and the Bills went to the AFCCG for the first time in like 25 years. So the expense was darn near justified in year one alone. AJ Brown was a VERY similar situation for the Eagles, except they got to the SB (and then won it two years later). 

 

What are other examples of WR1s getting traded?

If he’s fast, odds are he’s not on the Bills radar

I read this three times as “KC Connection” wondering how the hell this Texas A&M WR is connected with the chiefs. Yes, I’m still drunk

The Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith.

He'll be gone before the Bills pick without a huge trade up.

[Evansfan322]

Chris Bell is the guy I’m really hoping is drafted

[quincy]

 

I think a lot of NFL teams will be interested in him!

Is Jefferson going to get frustrated with the backslide in Minny?

As the self-proclaimed resident Aggies fan, I would love either Concepcion or Craver. Both are undersized, but they possess the speed and a dynamic to our passing game that we haven't had.

No way! He is way too fast for us.

And we'll convince ourselves it was a good move by August, dude will be on IR by October and Jordan Phillips will be back. The cycle continues.

Are there any lunch pail run blockers that might slide for not actually being good wide receivers? 

Tate is a good receiver and willing blocker(he could be good at it but I haven’t watched enough to say for sure)
