DallasBillsFan1 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Seems like Whaley is putting a lot of rumors out there. I like the strategy. Hard for other teams to know what's real and what's BS. Though I wonder if there is any disadvantage to this?
FluffHead Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 If anyone hasn't had a chance read it, I strongly recommend this week's SI article about Sammy Watkins (4/28 issue). I'd take the kid on football character alone. GO BILLS!!! Link? It's not the one by greg bedard right?
Mr. WEO Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 sammywatkins I truly think a team going to jump up n grab me who it may be i know 4/29/14, 1:08 PM Is he speaking in tongues?
K-9 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Link? It's not the one by greg bedard right? My apologies, but I read the magazine in a doctor's office today and I didn't note the byline. GO BILLS!!!
FluffHead Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 My apologies, but I read the magazine in a doctor's office today and I didn't note the byline. GO BILLS!!! I googled and read an OK article by bedard but it was more about how Watkins is different (smaller) than most dominant WRs in today's game. I don't think that is the one you're referencing.
SBUffalo Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 He seems to be indicating that a team outside of the top ten is looking at trading in to get him. Teams that don't have a top 10 pick that need a WR: New York at 18, Philly at 22, KC at 23, Carolina at 28 and SF at 30.

I don't think that is the one you're referencing. No, it's not. The one I read touches upon his All America freshman year, his bust for getting caught with reefer and slumping his sophomore year, and how that motivated him to come back even better last season. Really highlights his work ethic and dedication to getting better as a receiver. I think the kid has something you can't teach. This article sold me more than anything I saw on tape, which was quite amazing in itself. GO BILLS!!!
Mark Vader Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Watkins is one of the top players in this draft, I'm sure there are a bunch of teams that are willing to trade up and draft him. I have to admit that reading this stuff is fun.

I don't think that is the one you're referencing. Article was written by Andy Staples and is entitled, 'A Cut Above'. Can't find the article on line unless you subscribe to SI. GO BILLS!!!
frogger Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I think he's referring to the Detroit Lions, there's been talk about them finding away to the 2nd pick
JTO Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Maybe since the Bills are his favorite team he said he would play for free? Might be worth it How do you know the Bills are his favorite team?
SBUffalo Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 How do you know the Bills are his favorite team? He has said it on multiple occasions. Also tweeted it once.
Kellyto83TD Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I would give up our 2nd round pick to move up and get you Sammy. The problem is we already have 4 good receivers in Stevie, Williams, Woods and Goodwin, and we need to give our QB and runners better blocking and we need to add another beast to our defensive front 7 so we're going to have to let you pass buddy. I'll draft you for my fantasy team either way, so that'll be cool. Stevie goes, period. Watkins, Woods, Williams all >>>> Stevie. Goodwin = Stevie and that is before he can get a ton of playing time.
jumbalaya Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I truly think a team going to jump up n grab me who it may be i know 4/29/14, 1:08 PM sammywatkins All those teams in top 10 might draft me but I been thinking outside the box interesting phone calls Isn't Sammy saying it is someone outside of the top ten???
pafan Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 It could be the 49ers. I think they're primed to make a big move to put them over the top. They certainly have the ammo to move way up the draft into the top 5. Bingo!
Optometric Insight Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I would be ecstatic if the Bills drafted him, I remember watching him tear it up in high school, but I just don't see it, not with the way he worded his second tweet.

QB Bills Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Stevie goes, period. Watkins, Woods, Williams all >>>> Stevie. Goodwin = Stevie and that is before he can get a ton of playing time. Are you sure that's it? What about Easley? He just needs a chance to start. Hogan too. He's always open. Don't sleep on Kauffman...he's a total wild card. All these guys are so obviously at least equal to Stevie if not better. They make way less money and they don't rap and have as many tattoos. Actually, if you really think about it, can anyone honestly say for sure that Brian moorman couldn't be a better receiver than Stevie? How do you really know?

HEY! easy there on guys like Easley and Kaufman. Don't you know that they are all stars if the dumb coaches would just give em a fair shake? If only these coaches who see them play everyday knew as much as the fans. SMH

Still can't believe we let Da'Rick Rogers walk. Talk about a Sammy Watkins clone. Ugh.
