Yards equate to first downs, better field position, and TD’s. It is pretty important stuff. If we already had a complete, upper echelon TE on the roster then I would say sure, lets sign Dwayne, but we dont.
I hear ya- and im hoping the Bills get more production with Allen than the previous QB’s have in recent times. What I really expect out of a TE is this- get tough yards, move the chains, run block, be a red zone target, and split the seam which makes the defense accountable to him. A complete TE would be a huge addition to our team. Thanks for all the stats- it adds nice value to this board- cheers ?
Not even remotely true- I just dont want a TE to be a one trick pony. Regardless, I doubt the Bills try and sign him anyways. Allen needs a pass catching TE in the worst way.
I dont want to sign a TE just for camp fodder. Maybe he pleasantly surprises us if we sign him but his production suggests otherwise the last 2 seasons.
Nope- a pass catching TE that has something left in the tank- his pedestrian number the past 2 seasons suggest other wise.
This years draft is loaded with TE prospects. Every position is a “crap shoot” if you really think about it. We deserve better than what we have had. I dont think any team expects 800- 1000 yards out of the TE but 400-500 yards along with 6-8 TD’s would certainly be nice.

2017-2018 seasons- 13 for 113 yards. We need more than a TE that can just block. Lets get some actual NFL linemen first.
Yeah, we can just cut him in camp ?
100 percent agree- this team needs a top flight TE that can do it all. I dont want anymore scraps on this team. Too many are used to settling and moral victories. Lets build this damn team! We have our QB now get the line in place and some weapons.
Because we dont need to take another huge swing this year imo. Allen at 7 may not of been BPA but we needed a franchise QB. But who knows what the Bills draft board looks like. I would like to think we go BPA and if they think DK is it so be it.
Where we got Edmunds was pure value. I think he was BPA- again just my opinion. That said, I dont like him in the middle- he tackles too high and needs to get lower. I see him better suited for the outside.
Alot of people get so wrapped around strength and speed that they forget the finer points or become tunnel visioned because they like what they see. Maybe DK has a fine NFL career- hindsight is always 20/20 but everything I see right now gives me concern and at 9 it would be a huge reach.
Seems like the NFL is coming back to good defense, pounding the rock, and receivers who can take the top off. Foster can get after it but we need another speedster. We also need a true, bomified number 1 WR which Funchess is not. IMO we have and have had plenty of “Funchess’s”. It is time to play in the sand box with the big boys.
Kim has her hooks too deep in the Sabres- they are an absolute dumpster fire. 8 years of a rebuild with no playoffs is disgusting.
18-19 should drop more this last 1/4 of the season will be a joke. Housley is an absolute lousy coach.
