    That's our only measure for comparison.

     

    Go watch tape of Duke Williams. He looks very slow. Sure, he makes contested catches, but he is incredibly slow. And for a guy that isn't that big that's a problem.

     10th of a second slower than Benjamin. Better broad jump, 1 more rep on the bench, these guys are separated by fractions athletically. Difference is Williams is hungry to succeed and Benjamin is hungry for some Popeye's.

    Benjamin had a faster 40 time than Duke. That's what I'm saying. Sills is much faster than both of them, and he's two inches taller than Duke.

     

    And when did he run that 40 time? You did watch him play in Buffalo correct? His 40 time coming out of college is completely irrelevant.

    Except Duke isn't that big. He's nowhere near the size of Benjamin or even Sills. He is only 6'2" and way slower than Sills, and even slower than Benjamin.

     

    Say what... there isn't a slower wide receiver than Benjamin. Kyle was moving faster than Benjamin after he caught that pass last year.

    Anderson plays like he is retired. On par with alumni players in HS fundraising games.

     

    Doesn't matter, he's still a veteran of the NFL who has obviously helped Allen behind the scenes. No one can deny Allen was on a bit of a tear after coming back from injury having sat with Anderson for a few weeks and then getting further help from Barkley. Jackson offers none of that.

  6. College stats do not translate to the pro game. How many Heisman trophy winners have to bust before this is understood. Mechanics, footwork, white board work, delivery, facing adversity, consistency etc. are all more important than the stats. As Happy said before, he didn't play in a pro style system, he looks like he is laboring to throw the ball further than 40 yards, he never took over a game or dominated the competition. And that is in a very weak conference. I think the first thing you look for in a small school guy is, is he the best player on the field in a good portion of his film?

    I mean we are probably keeping Barkley but he is the definition of replaceable.

    and next to the first 2 picks, this is my favorite thing of the weekend.  Perfect developmental QBs who has similar strengths and weaknesses to Allen.  Makes me very happy.

    I think he has a chance to supplant Anderson.

     

    Jackson has a nice deep pass and is mobile.

     

    Sounds like the type of QB that could back up a QB in an offense designed to showcase a QB with a big arm and is mobile.


    I'm not trying to knock Tyree but I don't see an undrafted QB coming in and landing the backup QB spot. You really want Tyree coming in if Josh goes down? Barkley played well last year for us and earned his spot. Plus Daboll, Josh and Coach made a big deal about how much better the QB room was with Barkley and Anderson in the mix. I don't see that changing any time soon unless, like I said, Anderson retires.

    Maybe the way the OP started the thread comes across bad but he has a point.  And before I get called a “hater” because I don’t praise every Bills pick, Oliver was my favorite Bills pick in years and while not my first choice, I like the Cody Ford choice, especially with his mindset.

     

    but are we sure this regime can judge receiving talent:

     

    - Jordan Matthews

    - trading multiple picks for Kelvin Benjamin 

    - trading up for Zay

    - “discovering” Robert Foster at Alabama and then cutting him

     

    and I like some of our guys but we don’t have a number 1 receiver or TE

     

    - Brown, overpaid, 646 yards/ season

    - Beasley, who I love, 467 yards/ season

    - Kroft, 3rd stringer because he couldn’t beat out a guy with frying pans for hands, 165 yards/ season and averaged less than 10 yards per catch the last 3 years.

     

    If you had Brady, maybe this group is good enough.  But for a young qb, this is not that good of group. I trust this regime a million percent on defense.  But honestly, they kinda suck at identifying receiving talent.  

     

    This all seems reasonable until you realize you've completely left out Williams and Knox, ignore the fact that Foster was the most productive rookie wideout in the league in the 2nd half of the season or ignore the fact that Beane flat out said you don't need a #1 wideout, you need guys that fit the scheme.

  9. He has the athleticism to play anywhere along the front 4. You could seriously see him play the edge in certain packages. His measurebles are unbelievable. He ran the short shuttle a hundredth of a second slower than Antonio Brown. The pick is very much in the vein of Josh Allen and Termaine Edmunds. Guys who are young or maybe come from smaller schools but have no ceiling when it comes to athleticism.
