LabattBlue Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 I think attempting to fill the #2 WR spot via the draft, and expect that player to start from day 1 is a risky proposition. Even if they draft Williams or Davis at #10 overall, there is no way to know if they can be make an immediate transition to NFL every down player...and be successful at it. Compounding this potential problem, you have Sammy and a bunch of 3-4-5 WR's. In that scenario, pray that Watkins does not get hurt, or the season goes down the toilet in a hurry...I don't care how good you can run the ball. Unfortunately, I don't know what Plan B would be at this point. Trade?
Hurricane Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Call Jacksonville an see if they would part with Hurns or Lee... Theres always Agholor from Philly..

I mean we all knew were in trouble if we believed Ragland and Lawson were going to turn around the entire defense in their first NFL season.
bobobonators Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 If you draft a guy at 10, he has to start. Pretty much. Drafting anyone at 10 other than QB is an automatic must start anywhere in the NFL. Even a QB at 10 would be a must start in the right situation. We're not asking the guy to be a #1. If the 10th pick cant be a #2 WR lord help us.
Hurricane Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 If you draft a guy at 10, he has to start. Of course... Wr, Lb, and Db.... Help wanted..

I honestly don't see how a WR picked at #10 wouldn't start as a #2 receiver. Now, I think you can debate who is the bigger pick and fit for the system, but both Williams and Davis are slotted to be the #1 on many teams. Either one I think would be fine working with Sammy. After that though, I don't know many sure things. So I want one or the other. I think MW has a higher ceiling, but Davis is polished and has a lower floor.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Call Jacksonville an see if they would part with Hurns or Lee... Theres always Agholor from Philly.. This is a nice idea and an area that Whaley has done well with (veteran trades). One of your 5th round picks may get it done.
Hurricane Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 This is a nice idea and an area that Whaley has done well with (veteran trades). One of your 5th round picks may get it done. Kill two birds with one stone and offer both our 5ths to Philly for Agholor and Kendricks...
wppete Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Kill two birds with one stone and offer both our 5ths to Philly for Agholor and Kendricks... Wouldn't mind this at all.
Captain Murica Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Call Jacksonville an see if they would part with Hurns or Lee... Theres always Agholor from Philly.. Didn't Agholor have issues with holding on to the ball?

Unfortunately, I don't know what Plan B would be at this point. Trade? The only thing i can say to this is the quality of the first 1-5 wr's in this draft is high....and they would not come in as the number 1 option (that would be Sammy) Also....something tells me Dennison uses his tight ends a LOT.....
3rdand12 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Kill two birds with one stone and offer both our 5ths to Philly for Agholor and Kendricks... you and I are alike in that GET KENDRICKS. But i like this thinking.
Hurricane Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 you and I are alike in that GET KENDRICKS. But i like this thinking. Absolutely...
CommonCents Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Call Jacksonville an see if they would part with Hurns or Lee... Theres always Agholor from Philly.. Jacksonville just locked up Hurns last summer, he is a great UDFA story. I think he got 20 mil guaranteed or something around there. Agholor has been a disappointment in Philly I'm not sure how they see him going forward but he looks like much the same - not good enough.
3rdand12 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 I am sure the Bills want a starting WR out of the draft.. If they can't fill #2 in FA they best get close in the draft. @10? i want a #1 wr at sixteen, i will take a number two starter. Pissed Justin Hunter got picked up.Hope Bills know what they are doing for the passing game Jacksonville just locked up Hurns last summer, he is a great UDFA story. I think he got 20 mil guaranteed or something around there. Agholor has been a disappointment in Philly I'm not sure how they see him going forward but he looks like much the same - not good enough. for a 5th?
Mr. WEO Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 This team had plenty of #2 at WR last season...flushed almost all of it already though.

Hope Bills know what they are doing for the passing game for a 5th? That same 5th could have landed you a Geronimo Allison type (credit to Gunner) he was all over him before the draft. You would have to ask the draft guys, but I would guess you could get better value for that 5th than Aggy. He hasn't done anything on the field and if I remember correctly he fell out of favor with both coaching staffs he was under. Edited March 15, 2017 by Commonsense
yungmack Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 I don't believe the Bills go WR at 10, but I think O J Howard is a real possibility there, because of Dennison's offense & because he appears to be a generational talent.

My opinion was more of a , I have seen him play once or twice. Thanks for helping me get perspective : ) I don't believe the Bills go WR at 10, but I think O J Howard is a real possibility there, because of Dennison's offense & because he appears to be a generational talent. then how do we fill out the rec corp? not to discount your thought, Mack
