Mr_Blizzard Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Hope the kid works out; he's got all the talent he needs to make it in the NFL.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Could be like getting another 1st rd pick. IF he cleans up his act. Could have been the #1 receiver this year if he wasn`t getting in trouble. We have nothing to lose. It`s all on him. He could be a thug or make a good life for himself. We will see how dumb he is.
B-Man Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Lets see, added (possibly) in 2013 -- DaRick Rogers, Robert Woods, Marques Goodwin 2012 -- Donald Jones, David Nelson, and Ruvelle Martin. hmmmm.
KeisterHollow Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 WOW - if this turns out to be true, Buffalo went from having perhaps the worst WR group in the NFL to having one of the best - and its YOUNG. Stevie Johnson, Wood, Rogers, T.J. Graham, Goodwin, and Easley! Thats a tremendous group! I recall about a month ago I mentioned how Marrone and Hackett would want to put together a group of WR's like they had in New Orleans when they were winning the Super Bowl. The whole point was to have a bunch of guys with similar size, speed, ability, so that opposing defenses would not be able to just focus on one guy - rather, they'd have to account for everyone on every play. Well - there's going to be some tremendous 3 and 4 WR sets happening now!
Hotpockets28 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 So....we now have sj13,Robert woods,tj,goodwin and da"rick rogers... ..WOW...so much talent...this wr crew coud be "explosive"" ...so much for it being a weakness on the bills
BuffaloBob Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 This pick up makes up for that Goodwin debacle. I love it!! I agree! A guy who runs 4.27 and faster, jumps 42" vertical and block his ass off. He's a freakin' disaster!
Stealth Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Rogers has elite ability he needs to stay away from the drugs and keep his head in football and we just got ourselves to say a steal is an understatement.

We will see how dumb he is. hopefully the support system inside the locker room will guide this kid. maybe a guy like stevie can show him how to have fun and be yourself without stepping out of line. stevie is now the old man in the wr corps and he has stated that he wants to be more of a leader. so let's hope for the best on this one. the potential alone is freaking me out right now. a couple of days ago we had stevie and...
BobbyC81 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 You know what I mean though. UDFA with character issues who becomes a player when a veteran and the organization help him act lime a professional And who would that be? Stevie sure isn't a good example of maturity.
swnybillsfan Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I agree! A guy who runs 4.27 and faster, jumps 42" vertical and block his ass off. He's a freakin' disaster! yeah, and only a 42" verticle and 11' broad jump. was this guy wearing cement shoes or what?
Justice Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I agree! A guy who runs 4.27 and faster, jumps 42" vertical and block his ass off. He's a freakin' disaster! All that means nothing if he can't touch the freakin' ball. If speed were the only thing that matters than more teams would be signing track stars. I bet anything he turns out to be a bum.
BuffaloBob Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 yeah, and only a 42" verticle and 11' broad jump. was this guy wearing cement shoes or what? I guess we can throw that chump back now that we've signed Da'Rick! Maybe we can get a compensatory pick for next year.
Justice Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Wrong selection at the wrong spot. More pressing needs. This guy touched the ball 33 times last season and some of those were handoffs. He's gonna need 3 to 4 years to refine his receiving skills. I call it like I see it.

If speed were the only thing that matters than more teams would be signing track stars. I bet anything he turns out to be a bum. You're right, he should have used that vertical leap and long jump to intercept more passes that weren't thrown to him. Then he could have made up for all those balls not thrown to him. BTW, somehow I just can't be terribly concerned about your expert opinion. I think I'd rather trust our new coaching staff and people who actually scout players for a living. But that's just me.
NewEra Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Wow. Icing on the cake. Well done buddy. Super pumped to see these wrs with Ej. I pray Ej beats out kolb.

Lots more potential though.
Saint Doug Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Yes! Anyone else doubting Buddy? I don't know. It seemed like the whole MO of Bills drafting strategy changed from the prior years. I'm wondering if this draft was more Whaley or Marrone/Pettine driven.
JM57 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 And who would that be? Stevie sure isn't a good example of maturity. Brad Smith if it has to be a WR. Or any offensive player. Pick one.
QCity Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Well, FWIW, I just read that he passed 10 drug tests at Tenn Tech, so that's encouraging.
BaaadThingsMan Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Wow. A lot has to mesh, but we have the makings of a really explosive offense. It probably won't really show this year, with three rookies, but Woods, Goodwin and Rogers could make a huge weakness into a strength. There is a ton of pure, raw talent. Doesn't mean much til we see it produce on the field but man, it's exciting. ....I agree
