That's most backups for many teams. Is their a free agent WR that would be an upgrade in your opinion?

DE, split with Hughes and take his spot next year.

So true... Zay was a beast... ?

DE, Saftey, CB, OL. WR and RB outside the 3rd but I'd be willing to 'reach' in the 3rd for a skill guy if the value was right.

Again, so how does a backup WR fix the offense this year or even next?

Its only a logical summation, the 2 highest drafted postions would see the highest fallout. You are right you didn't make a claim on a feeling but an 'intuition'...totally different ? That's what I don't get... we need a backup WR because of depth but a DE to split time and take Hughes spot is second thought.

I'd take Alex Smith in a heartbeat... as a coach. I think for everyones benefit, its best he never plays again.

Yum, love me some irony or is that hypocrisy, either way, delicious.

BPA is just as thought provoking.

Because... you know... feelings.

Nope I just hate WRs and RBs, especially RBs. ?

Personally I feel 2nd and 3rd rounders should be starters or at least see significant playing time soon or soonish, granted Buffalo has been blessed most recently with not needing to much. Also WR and RBs tend to be over drafted and bust out the easiest.

Really??? So people complained last year and we go out and trade a 1st rounder for a Stefon Diggs and you are saying that is not enough? Any stats out there on how often we went with 4 WRs out on the field?(not DeMarco lining up wide lol) A teams 4th WR should not be drafted in the first 3 rounds. Period.

So then when will this young whippersnapper start, 2 years, 3 years? Drafting a guy early so he can start in a couple years is just dumb IMHO, especially after we traded to get a stud WR because 'now is the time to be bold'/'make moves'. Our current backups don't help here? Mckendrick, Foster, Duke and Robert's have all started some and can surely fill the roll when needed to, for a few games at least.

Am I not seeing something? I keep seeing people are wanting us to go WR first/second pick in this years draft. Why? We now have a stud WR1, an excellent WR2 and an excellent slot. All of these guys are under contract for the next 3+ years as well. So people want us to use our 2nd rounder or 3rd to draft a backup WR that will hardly see the field or they are expecting one of these three to be cut in the near future(I'd like to hear which one lol). Please someone shed some light on the matter.

Oh yeah, he also has not had the illustrious 300 yard game yet...

So how many games do you think Barkley would win if he had to fill in for JA for 4 games? How many more/less games would QB x win in those 4 games? These are the questions to ask. I'd go on record saying Barkley would win 2/4 and every FA QB available might do the same.

Yeah but he can't even throw for 60% accuracy...

I get it, but, if you get 4 viable starters (4-7) or 3 starters (1-3) wouldn't it be safe to say the GM that hit on 4-7 did better, 4>3? On the flip side isn't the GM that hits on the expensive picks,1-3, better? I'M SO CONFUSED!

??? You want a RB in the 2nd round that wont even start or take 30% of the snaps OR a WR that won't even start or see 20% of snaps. Edge and RT are the biggest need. Hughes is done here soon and a replacement to split time with(more than 30%) would be a big gain.

Valid point. Which GM is better- the one who hits on rounds 4-7 and gets all starters out of them but misses on rounds 1-3 or the GM that hits on rounds 1-3 but 4-7 bust out?

Give me 10- 1 odds and I'd take that bet. I could see Buffalo trading up this year in the first.

I've said it before and I'll say it again RB is the least valuable position in the NFL currently when you look at it from top to bottom. Given the choice between a stud RB and a stud punter, I'd take the punter. With that said I don't mind taking a RB in rounds 3-7 but anything prior is just a waste of resources.
