Prickly Pete Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 The big deal with Woods was his groin injury. I'm surprised the Bills haven't heard from the NFL on this. There were several injuries that came out this season that didn't appear to be reported on the weekly injury report. I expect Woods to bounce back next year, especially as he gets closer to contract time. Bounce back to average? I think we have seen what Woods has to offer, and it's nothing special. He occasionally makes a nice play.
#34fan Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 How about drafting OJ Howard in first? He is a great blocker and did plenty of it at Alabama. You witnessed his speed and playmaking ability against a great Clemson defense. At 6'6 he can be our endzone threat, and would pair nicely with Clay. And he can help the run game I think he's gone within the first twelve picks.... Too much to hope for.... I'd probably wet myself if we pulled the trigger on that Kid.

GunnerBill Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 i would love Mike Williams WR Clemson 6/4 220. If he checks out medically i would definitely consider him in the 2nd or 3rd round. this dude is a stud hopefully he declares. I also love Tyler Boyd from Pitt I'm with you. That is what I came to this thread to say. How far is he predicted to fall because of the injury?
YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I'm with you. That is what I came to this thread to say. How far is he predicted to fall because of the injury? he is returning to Clemson
GunnerBill Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 he is returning to Clemson Ahh ok. Is he a Junior? My mistake.
YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Ahh ok. Is he a Junior? My mistake. he must be ... Either that or he obtained a medical redshirt. Can't remember how early in the season he got hurt. But he announced he's coming back. Clemson offense will be soooo good. They were missing top 2 WRs in playoffs, both will be back, plus their RB is coming back. Edited January 15, 2016 by YoloinOhio
Blokestradamus Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 he must be ... Either that or he obtained a medical redshirt. Can't remember how early in the season he got hurt. But he announced he's coming back. Clemson offense will be soooo good. They were missing top 2 WRs in playoffs, both will be back, plus their RB is coming back. It was Week 1 against Wofford. He is a junior and I believe he still could apply for a medical redshirt depending on his recovery.

Maury Ballstein Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Anyone like this guy ? Wouldn't mind seeing him as our 2nd round pick.
YoloinOhio Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Anyone like this guy ? Wouldn't mind seeing him as our 2nd round pick. absolutely, he's high on my list at WR.
Bill from NYC Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 OJ Howard returning to schoolHe sure is!!!!!!! :) https://www.seccountry.com/alabama/alabama-te-o-j-howard-joins-teammates-on-roadto17
YoloinOhio Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 This is a bad draft for TEs. Glad we have Clay. Henry will probably go in the second and then I think it is everyone else in third or later.
Blokestradamus Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 This is a bad draft for TEs. Glad we have Clay. Henry will probably go in the second and then I think it is everyone else in third or later. I actually like Tyler Higbee from Western Kentucky in that early Day 3 range. Good hands, decent athlete for 6' 6", 250, can attack down the seam, willing blocker but needs refinement. WKU was 112th in the nation in run plays per game so part of the blocking stuff is a smaller than average exposure to it. Experience inline, flexed in the slot and at H-Back. Doughty's safety valve this year. Would make for a decent #2 option.
8-8 Forever? Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 RD4. Harvin's as good as gone, Woods hasn't shown it, so we still don't have a #2 WR--the high-pointing, tall, feature WRF (unless maybe it's Dez Lewis), as well as the Harvin role. These guys are listed as WRS in DraftTek, so we may need 2. Both carry the P3 designation. It is a buyer's market for WRs, with lots of WRs declaring and fewer teams needing them than most years. RD4 is my guess, it's a buyer's market in the draft on Wrs, and my 4 favorites, Travin Dural, Nelson Spruce, Sterling Shepard, and De'Runnyea Wilson might be available there. Should Laquon Treadwell be there at #17, I'd think twice ...before drafting a lineman. Day 3 gems: WRS BRALON ADDISON OREGON (pick 133 on our board, Bills have been to practices and/or games) WRF LEONTE CAROO RUTGERS (pick 149, Bills have been to practices and/or games) S-WRF MALCOLM MITCHELL GEORGIA (240, likely moving up with his bowl game; no word on Bills scouts) WRF CHRIS BROWN NOTRE DAME (364) http://www.drafttek.com/2016-NFL-Draft-Prospect-Rankings/Top-College-WRs-2016-Draft.asp assuming Cordy and Cogs are signed, if treadwell is there, gotta think he's the pick.
mannc Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 The Bills' return game (both punts and KOs) was awful this year. It would make a lot of sense to draft a WR who can do one or both--as well as catch passes, of course. That's another reason I would love to see them draft Bralon Addison of Oregon. He is an excellent return man, especially on punts (3 PRs for touchdowns in last two seasons, and an average of around 13 per return), and a highly productive WR.

If they get the Special Teams up into the top half of the league, it would add a couple wins to the record, me thinks. As far as drafting another TE, they just drafted a guy many here (maybe even some of the same guys that now want them to draft another TE?) were so excited about coming into the draft, Nick O'Leary. He has sucked. But considering they have Clay, I think O'Leary should be given a little time to develop.
NewEra Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 assuming Cordy and Cogs are signed, if treadwell is there, gotta think he's the pick. I doubt he's there, but I would hope he's the pick if he's there. While I really prefer not to draft a WR wth out 1st or 2nd pick, he's the guy that makes sense. While he doesn't have the speed, he could develop into the best blocking WR ever. In our scheme, that matters. If he can take out the outside defender 90% of the time on outside runs, advantage us. Then add in his receiving skills and I think he's a perfect fit.
