I can see the Bills challenging the Miami Water Mammals for 2nd in the East and I don't see any evidence at all of attempting to tank.
The writer mentioned losing 3 of our top 4 WRs yet Zay Jones should be more than adequate to replace Woods and Holmes has to be better than Goodwin or Hunter. If Sammy can have a half dozen or so healthy games we're better at that position.
Losing Gilmore ? ... I always thought he was over rated, was a terrible tackler or a hurdle with his close eyes, lower head and shoulder style and took too many penalties. I think White will be just fine in that spot.
Losing Gillislee ? ... We have Williams, now in his 2nd year and we don't have to pay him 4.5 large a year. That's too expensive for a back up RB.
I do believe they were right that we'll be fighting for the #1 draft spot but it's because we have 3 first round picks to give up for it (2 in 2017, 1 in 2018) so we're in the running if we choose to be.
