billsfan905 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Did Whaley forget about this need when he was out signing fullbacks and safeties? We have one NFL caliber WR on our roster in Watkins, who is hurt at least 50% of the time. There are barely any quality receivers left in free agency (almost all of them are #3 guys like Wright, Hunter, Patterson). Unless Doug is hell bent on drafting 3 in May, we need to start adding some guys. This is the biggest need on the team, especially when you don't have an elite QB that makes average WR's great like Rodgers, Brees, or Brady.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 WR2 is an easy draft choice, not worried about that. Im more more concerned with our LBs and CBs.
JM2009 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Right now, without Watkins, the Bills must have the worst WR corp in the NFL.
Bangarang Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Right now, without Watkins, the Bills must have the worst WR corp in the NFL. You can probably say that about most teams if you take away their #1 WR. Sammy really needs to stay healthy this year though.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) likely picking WR at #10 in draft I think they will take a CB #10 and WR in the 2nd. Although there seems to be buzz about Corey Davis and the Bills. I think the Bills want to trade out of 10. Edited March 11, 2017 by TheTruthHurts

Success Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I'm sure we'll snag an Aiken or someone like him, and draft a guy in the 1st few rounds. Listenbee is coming back. We'll be good. Sammy has to stay healthy.

I think the Bills want to trade out of 10. They need a WR first. With Watkins questionable with his injuries the Bills need a good playmaker opposite him.
Virgil Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 We need to sign at least one vet in FA. Rookie WR have one of the bigger learning curves and rarely contribute the way you want in year one. I'm all for drafting someone in round 1/2. But we need another vet. I think we need to vets due to Sammy's injury history
Jamie Nails Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 We will sign someone and I bet others shack loose closer to camp.
harmonkillebrew Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Right now, without Watkins, the Bills must have the worst WR corp in the NFL. Without Watkins we don't have a WR corp. There's what, 2 other guys under contract? Whaley is constantly just trying to tread water. Every FA and draft we're trying to fill huge gaps where we should already have succession plans in place. WR was a need last year and he did nothing. It's now a bigger need. Aiken would be a good depth sign. But we'll need to go high (1st or 2nd) to add another playmaker to help Tyrod
Woodman19 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 DB, WR and RB are speed positions and you always draft speed players since they start losing athleticism by the time they reach FA (with some exceptions)
Roundybout Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 "The 2017 NFL Draft will be the 82nd annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. It is scheduled to be held in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art[1] from April 27 to 29, returning to Philadelphia for the first time since 1961.[2] The player selections will be announced from an outdoor theatre built on the famous Rocky Steps, marking the first time an entire NFL draft is held outdoors.[3]" Corey Davis in the 1st.
KD in CA Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Is Anquan Boldin still out there? He's like the Susan Lucci of WRs.
Strethor Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I'm sure we'll snag an Aiken or someone like him, and draft a guy in the 1st few rounds. Listenbee is coming back. We'll be good. Sammy has to stay healthy. Corey Davis would be nice and would help out TT immensely

Success Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Listenbee? The 7th round pick from last season who didn't play a single snap? Yea let's count on him. They need to sign at least a decent WR in FA and I'd be all for their first round pick to be a big, go get the ball receiver opposite Sammy. It's all perspective. I choose to look at him as the 6th rounder who may be the fastest guy in the nfl. But yeah - they need to at least sign some fa, and draft someone. I'm sure they will
Wayne Cubed Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I think they need a veteran receiver but I certainly don't think they need to spend a lot. There wouldn't be any point. Watkins contract is coming up and I'd bet they'll be resigning him. They'll attempt to find a WR2 in the draft.
