Deranged Rhino Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 How much would the 5th year option have been? And is this essentially the kiss of death for Sammy in Buffalo? If he blows up, not sure we'd pay him... I still think they'll pick it up personally, but if they don't they will tag him.

LEBills Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 fair enough. i don't know woods's college production, but i can imagine it matches jones. i know it's not an even comparison, but i also don't completely understand why people are insisting on comparing him with woods. is it size, or just because he's filling that position? I think it's just bc we are replacing what we lost in FA. I fancy myself a draft fanatic so I'm disappointed we didn't grab some other players at 44 and 91. I also think we are going to lose a lot this year. With the players we are drafting - very experienced, polished players (Jones is a great route runner) - I think Mc Dermitt is ready to win this year. So they're approaching the draft much different than I and a lot of fans would.
P51 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Not good asset management. Godwin still on the board. I was secretly hoping Leroi was wrong about the trade up, even though I really like Zay, but had Goodwin rated higher and thought one would be available at 44 myself... Would prefer Goodwin and the 3rd myself. Zay and a 4th is still decent comparably.
Augie Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 even if 50 of those receptions were screens, it's still pretty amazing. Catch THAT many and everyone is onto you, no sneaking up on anyone. He was expected to go around there, I think, and we got the guy we wanted. Were there comparable guys we could have had for free? That was a valid point. They will make the call and stay or get fired for the outcome. I'll just watch and scream.
teef Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 A ton of screens. My friend. you're literally just stating what you've read in this thread.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Oh god the fly eagles fly song, I haven't had enough beer yet to listen to that crap song.
likei've Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 So... We lost two players because one wanted too much money and the other got a bit too much to match and we manage to fill the spots and get and extra first rounder and people are bummed. Unreal.
Playoffs? Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 To an earlier comment... if Jones turns out to be Hines Ward, we struck gold
IgotBILLStopay Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 i am sorry ZJ is not like Woods at all. way better at catching. more precise route runner. poorer blocker.
Augie Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Kiper and Mayock compared Jones to Hines Ward. Far comparison. What did you think of Hines Ward? In the league making plays for a long time in my mind.
Success Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Scouting friend thinks Holmes better than Zay Jones this year. Maybe Zay overtakes at some point. I'm good with that. Feels like the wr corps is so much better than a few months ago
Jasovon Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 A ton of screens. My friend. how many, like 100? I'm pretty happy with him, no injury history and good hands.

JM2009 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I'm very hard on OBD, but with what they came in with and needed , this draft has gone pretty well IMO.
BuffaloBud420 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 you're literally just stating what you've read in this thread. Not really. It's common knowledge.
Patrick Duffy Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 So... We lost two players because one wanted too much money and the other got a bit too much to match and we manage to fill the spots and get and extra first rounder and people are bummed. Unreal. Exactly. Lot of anger. Makes no sense
CommonCents Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 So... We lost two players because one wanted too much money and the other got a bit too much to match and we manage to fill the spots and get and extra first rounder and people are bummed. Unreal. My only complaint would be not remaining patient in the 2nd. You forgot to mention we got rid of a bad apple in Gilmore.

We lost two players because one wanted too much money and the other got a bit too much to match and we manage to fill the spots and get and extra first rounder and people are bummed. Unreal. We should be drafting QBs with every pick, then trading up for more QBs using next year's picks. I think that would make them happy. That or the Bills announcing they are going to stop being a team. I literally cannot see how this draft could have gone better for us so far.
3rdand12 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I admit I went back to confirm it. Yes, some screens, but not entirely by any means. Had huge production and our coaches have good insight into him. Hopefully not in a stupid Rex way. if Bills ever start running screens and YAC plays near the LoS I would be delighted. Sammies best asset in College.
