3rdand12 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 If nobody can tell were going to the power run game with the 2 FB we just selected, I highly doubt WR at 10, were going to run McCoy/Gillislee into the ground with Tolbert/Dimarco sharing all the short yardage and goaline duties imo. that gets me hot. they are going to grab Rec in the 1-2 rounds it seems at ths point Please don't let Hunter go to the Pats! seriously though. Hunter should be a Bill There will be 10 guys in camp and at least one guy who gets cut that fans will lament losing. well thats b sheet. so done with this team.
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 What is the status of Gillislee? Both Gillislee and Groy were tendered by the Bills, if anyone gives them an offer, Buffalo has the right to match. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-tender-Gillislee-and-Groy/199a0340-2858-4f35-8b48-a9a744d81f71
JM2009 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Whaley is one of the worst GMs in the league. His failure to address the WR position in last year's draft and rely on an Robert Woods and Sammy Watkins to stay healthy all season (while losing Chris Hogan in the process) should have been grounds for dismissal IMHO. I agree.
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) I feel like everyone is just sleeping on Ed Eagan. Belichik tried to sign him off the PS so there are reasons to #staywoke. Oh come on it's a joke lighten up Edited March 12, 2017 by YoloinOhio
dgrochester55 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 As of today, the receivers on the Bills are Watkins, Powell, and Listenbee. Even if they resigned Hunter, added a free agent like Patterson and drafted someone, it would still be a shaky receiving group. There is still plenty of time in the off season, but I hope that they do something about this before it is too late.
jahnyc Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 You can't expect a rookie or rookies to come in and start and be effective, particularly if they are not top talents (i.e., not drafted in the first round). It is ridiculous that right now we do not have any real WRs after Sammy, who has had significant injury issues to this point. I get it that it is early in the free agency period, but the top WR free agents are gone and even some of the lesser quality WRs already have been signed, such as Ginn and Wright.
Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Zay Jones ECU my favorite all around Reciever in the draft. JuJu from USC Switzer from UNC get er done. Edited March 12, 2017 by Jamie Muellers Ghost
Juice_32 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Zay Jones ECU my favorite all around Reciever in the draft. I love Zay but I don't think he's got the WR1 potential that Davis and Williams do. He'd be a hell of a 2 and a great compliment to Sammy. The guy has an unreal ability to get open, but I don't think he can completely take a game over on his own.
PauleeeWalnuts Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 We have Sammy coming up for a big contract soon, did anyone really expect Whaley to buy a big time FA WR when guys like Britt, Stills, Woods & Pryor are getting $8 mil? I wouldn't even think of giving Watkins a big contract considering the guy can't stay on the field
Augie Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I wouldn't even think of giving Watkins a big contract considering the guy can't stay on the field How many Archie Bunkers did you have over there? That might have been the problem!
White Linen Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 How many Archie Bunkers did you have over there? That might have been the problem! They're a flood gate of negativity for sure.
Nklaiste1 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Whaley sucks as GM. Not sure what the Pegula's see in him besides being a Pittsburgh guy?
Big C Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Good news guys, I spoke to Whaley and he feels so silly for forgetting about the WR position. We had a good laugh about it. Expect him to address it sometime between now and training camp. Edited March 12, 2017 by Big C
Augie Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Whaley sucks as GM. Not sure what the Pegula's see in him besides being a Pittsburgh guy? Are you an Archie Bunker without the title? Good news guys, I spoke to Whaley and he feels so silly for forgetting about the WR position. We had a good laugh about it. Expect him to address it sometime between now and training camp. NOOOO! Why did you remind him? It would have been so much fun to go to camp with no healthy WR's!

scottdoomed Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 seems watkins could be our 1 but being injuried all the time he isnt need to bring in steve smith sr to teach the man something about icing up. b foolish if we let hunter roll. with some teaching he could be a good 3 or better depending on being clutch. alot of you are right wr filler dime a dozen...but the connection and scheme isnt hunter has been here we need to keep him just for that

He had a rough go last year but he's one tough son of a gun. He had over 2,000 yds his first 2 years in the league and played in 29 of the 32 games and is only 23 years old. I know it's popular to say he's injured all the time but IMO it's a BS statement. Julio Jones played in the exact amount of games his first 2 years and only played in 5 his 3rd year compared to Sammy's 8. Sammy is a stud freak of nature. If you can't see that then you can't be helped. Edited March 12, 2017 by Triple Threat
Adam727 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 If the Bills are able to re-sign Hunter I would have no problem having Hunter/Listenbee/Powell/Lewis competing in camp for the #3 WR job. Listenbee has speed, Lewis has size, and Hunter/Powell both showed some good things on the field last year. I'd be comfortable that one of the four will take a step forward this year, and the others make for ok depth. The Bills still need a #2 WR which they will probably need to get in the first two rounds of the draft. Not ideal but definitely good enough to get us through the 2017 season, especially if they are planning to run a lot of 2 TE sets anyway. There isn't really anyone else in FA I think the Bills should get. Does anyone really want to lay out a $30mil+ contract for Kamar Aiken or Brian Quick?

wppete Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) With the release of Marcus Easley, the Bills are VERY thin at WR. Wow. Not much left in free agency, will Bills be drafting at least 2 this year? It's been very clear Doug Whaley does not put much value in WR talent. Since being GM Doug has drafted 3 WR's, only 1 of them with an early round pick.
