Boatdrinks Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I don't really get how a comment like this is even possible a week into free agency and over a month before the draft. There are very few WRs left in FA, and a draft pick is a complete wildcard in year 1. As it stands now, it's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no idea right now what our final group will look like. It's a meaningless hot take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Whaley has assembled possibly the worst WR corps in the league. Hard to believe considering Buffalo has used 2 1sts on Watkins, a 2nd on Woods, and a 3rd on Goodwin in the past 4 drafts. If you don't draft well in this league the ramifications almost put you in a continued downward spiral. Coming out of it is exceptionally difficult and UFA can't make up for it. No, it isn't. We have no idea right now what our final group will look like. It's a meaningless hot take. Jarrett Boykin, Justin Hunter, Walt Powell, Greg Salas, Leonard Hankerson, Dezmin Lewis, Kolby Listenbee, Percy Harvin, and Brandon Tate were not acquisitions that made Whaley look like he knew what he was doing there. And now, they've removed Woods and Goodwin from the equation. The likelihood after Philly Brown was signed that group improves is slim.

Bad injury luck last year. Might be a good idea to give the offseason more than a week. Edited March 13, 2017 by Success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I don't think we were looking to pay WR1 money for some of the available talent. Pryor/Jeffery didn't see the long term offers they liked, so they took lower offers to re-establish value. Garcon/woods/jackson/britt got big contracts as #2 receivers. I don't think we were looking for 8mil AAV at the WR2 position. There are still several decent WR2 options that can be had at a much lower value - stevie, aiken, quick, cruz, patterson. Especially at round 2 of free agency, when the offers get lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Still got quality #2 guys like Kendall Wright out there. Bears snatched him up. Boldin/Thielen left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Bears snatched him up. Boldin/Thielen left. Boldin's 36, and Thielen is a RFA with a 2nd round tender.... GREAT ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Sorry you guys (TBD) have to suffer with this. But, everytime your let in the dog, there are bound to be some fleas. Can we keep the good posters and send the dumdums back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
