26CornerBlitz Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 WR size not easy to find in this year's draft class Bills GM Doug Whaley would love nothing more than to have a 6-5 receiver that runs a 4.4 to add to their receiving corps, but finding one is easier said than done, especially in this year's draft class.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Bowen: Braxton Miller shows off rare skill set at Senior Bowl During his first two Senior Bowl practices, former Ohio State QB Braxton Miller has shown off a polished WR skill set and rare athleticism, writes Matt Bowen. Ohio State wide receiver Braxton Miller has put on an absolute show through the first two days of Senior Bowl workouts. At an official 6-foot-1, 204 pounds, the former Buckeye quarterback has generated a tremendous amount of buzz here in Mobile because of the effortless movement in his game, the sudden change-of-direction ability he displays on the field and his rare athleticism. Nice ESPN Insider write up on Miller. Might make a nice complement to Sammy.

YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I didn't see a lot of him this year, but what I DID see was surprisingly impressive.he just switched positions in August so it was tough but he seemed like a natural at WR. Made some really tough catches. He's an elite athlete who is just a great football player. I'm not surprised he was able to make the transition so smoothly. Edited January 28, 2016 by YoloinOhio

Marty McFly Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) 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 its not Dez, he drops too many the few times he gets open, hasnt had much of a shot but from the chances he has had he hasnt shown "it" Caroo is nice but im biased cuz i live in Jersey Edited January 28, 2016 by Marty McFly

thebandit27 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) A couple of guys that I’m watching closely as prospects that could fill the Bills’ need for a bigger boundary target, and may be available in the middle rounds: Robby Anderson of Temple is 6’3”, and listed at 190 lbs. He’s got great hands, is a smooth strider in the open field, and competes for the ball effectively. Decent blocker. He doesn’t have great explosion off the LOS, and forces him to use his strength/length to beat the jam, which leaves some doubt as to how he’ll compete with bigger, longer-limbed corners in the NFL. He may benefit from adding some mass to his upper and lower body, provided that he can carry it on his frame without affecting his quickness in-and-out of his breaks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfxgEVCYZZE Geronimo Allison of Illinois is 6’4”, and listed at 200 lbs. He’s a very similar player to Anderson in terms of burst off the LOS and that he knows how to use leverage to gain a release against press-man, and is a monster in contested catch situations. He also lined up on the boundary and in the slot for the Fighting Illini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuolLeRKXVg&feature=youtu.be Edited January 28, 2016 by thebandit27
YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 @tonypauline Told right now the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots & KC Chiefs like Braxton Miller/WR/Ohio State in round two. Don't be greedy with WRs, Steelers
26CornerBlitz Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 @TonyPauline I'm sounding like president of his fan club; another impressive day for Braxton Miller. Torching DB's in red zone Crowd going crazy. Braxton Miller just hobbled off the field with a lower right leg injury. Seems like a calf cramp. Something had to slow him down. @AndrewSiciliano Braxton Miller put his helmet back on. He's walking around. Doesn't seem serious.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Watch: Miller's Stock Soaring at Senior Bowl (3:06)Even though he's only spent one year as a wide receiver, Ohio State's Braxton Miller has stood out this week in front of the NFL scouts at the Senior Bowl.
YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 @cfbfilmroom Ohio State WR Michael Thomas hauled in 13 of his 25 contested targets this season (52%) - average is 35%
Marty McFly Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Bowen: Braxton Miller shows off rare skill set at Senior Bowl Nice ESPN Insider write up on Miller. Might make a nice complement to Sammy. Saw him make a few good plays and also some drops at the Senior bowl.
GunnerBill Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Yea Miller might have had a good week but he did not help himself in the game last night with a couple of bad drops. I'm not convinced I am sold enough to pick him as high as he will go. For me he is in play now from the middle of the second and that is at least a round too high in my opinion. I like both the guys Bandit listed and they both flashed in the east-west game. I've been monitoring Anderson longer but I am now a little higher on Allison. I think both are day 3 picks and I'd be happy with Whaley taking a shot on either.
