KellyToughII Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Hell we can't get WR's in FA even 2nd and 3rd tier guys to sign with us. I don't see an option in FA left for a true #2, I say draft Williams to be our #2 and see if after the draft there are any scap FA's out there to get.

I don't see an option in FA left for a true #2, I say draft Williams to be our #2 and see if after the draft there are any scap FA's out there to get. There's a very real possibility we just aren't going to have what most people would consider a real "#2 WR" on the roster this year. Given our offensive scheme, building up a strong defense is going to help us much more than a legitimate #2 (or 1B) WR would.
Mad Mike Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Forget a #2 WR, we need a #1 WR for the 10 games Sammy will probably be sidelined.
ndirish1978 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 WR at 10, maybe maybe not, we need DBs too. There is no certainty in this theory
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Could be in round 1, 2, or 3, but I would be shocked if we fail to take a WR by then. Can get a WR2 like Smith-Schuster or Kupp at 75.
Mountain Man Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 At the prices number 2 receivers like Woods were paid we were better off not paying free agency prices.
Heavy Kevi Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 At the prices number 2 receivers like Woods were paid we were better off not paying free agency prices. For real. I really like Woods, but obviously if you get a good/great player in FA, he is massively overpaid. That is the way of the world these days. Rather have a top prospect for pennies on the dollar. It is getting to the point where you can only keep players (past rookie contract) if they are merely "role players", give a hometown discount, or are truly elite and get paid. Everyone else hits FA for a payday, and goes to the highest bidder. Further proof that it's coaching and QB that really matter these days, as even elite teams turn over their rosters besides HC and QB.
JTO Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Ha, I could care less about positions outside of QB. Our goal every year should be at QB until we find, "The One". Every other position can be easily attained thereafter.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 also, would seem fitting albeit repetitive if we replaced our former first round CB with same and former second round WR with same

You resign your A players and C players. The Bs go elsewhere. Too early to say what we have in McDermott. Pretty sure we don't have an elite qb.

Every other position can be easily attained thereafter. So you want to find a QB with no supporting cast in place? How about creating an environment that makes it easy for the QB to step in and succeed, like what Dallas did with Prescott?

Pretty sure we don't have an elite qb. We should at least see how McDermott takes command of the huddle first before saying he's not an elite gunslinger
Dr. Who Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) We should at least see how McDermott takes command of the huddle first before saying he's not an elite gunslinger The comment I responded to talked about HC and QB, so I indicated we don't know what kind of head coach McDermott will be. Edited March 17, 2017 by Dr. Who
BillsfanAZ Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I would be good with Davis or Williams at #10. The Bills cannot rely on Sammy being healthy all season and there is nobody behind him.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 The comment I responded to talked about HC and QB, so I indicated we don't know what kind of head coach McDermott will be. It's a joke. And it's going to be OK.
Dr. Who Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I would be good with Davis or Williams at #10. The Bills cannot rely on Sammy being healthy all season and there is nobody behind him. I honestly have (perhaps unfounded) optimism that Watkins will be healthy. That kind of injury often needs a second surgery, but the foot is usually stable afterwards. Davis or Williams plus Watkins turns wr from a question mark to a relative strength, especially if we get decent #3 production from one of the new fellas. Of course, qb may still be an issue. It's a joke. And it's going to be OK. Yeah, sorry. My real life is pretty stressful right now.

I truly think this is a draft where they go BPA because of the fact we have holes in various positions. Nothing would surprise me, except a QB at #10.
Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Trade down for exta picks or BPA Could be CB, S, LB, OT, WR Jay Jones in the second
