RD 2, Pick 37: Zay Jones (WR) - ECU

[The Wiz]

Bills likey not picking up the 5th year option on Sammy.

Why not? Are teams only suppose to carry 1 good receiver?

[stony]

Whaley is still in charge.

[dave mcbride]

Seems like a great pick. A better talent than Woods, who i still like as a player.

Jones selection means nothing regarding Watkins' 5th year option.

Vic just reported it. Franchise Tag is also around the same amount as the 5th year option

Seems like they're targeting players who showed consistent production throughout their college careers.

 

I hope so. I've always hated drafting combine warriors. Obviously, a NFL prospect ought to combine good measurables with good production. But, between the two, I like to see the production.

 

Robert Woods 2.0 except potentially better

 

Funny because this is exactly what I thought when I first heard the pick.

[Doc Brown]

Two biggest needs were CB and WR. We addressed them with consistently productive college players and gained a 1st round pick next year. Very happy so far.

Hearing #Bills unlikely to pick up 5th-year option on Sammy Watkins by May 2 deadline. Not while he's still recovering from foot surgery.

Bills coach Sean McDermott says the selection of WR Zay Jones is not related to decision on Sammy Watkins

[CanadianFan]

Actually hoping it's a safety, RB can wait and Whaley loves the 5th rd gems for that.

 

Remember we have a Shannahan disciple here. they always find their backs late rounds or in FA.

Hate giving up picks, but I really like this player---good bloodlines & good character. There might have been some better players on the board but they have baggage. We can't afford anymore bad actors on this team.

They lose a year of control by not using it. They could have used the tag after the option right?

[Alphadawg7]

Surprised to see Kizer fall this much.

 

Im not, he was the one guy that to me that had the biggest slide chance out of the first because he under performed so much and he seemed like his interviews were up and down too.

 

I actually think he won't be the next QB taken still now, I have a feeling Webb is next.

I'm loving this draft.

 

And we got that extra 1st next year.

 

Yeah, it's feeling good right now. Two rounds down and we picked up two probable starters and an extra first rounder.

[CanadianFan]

2 good WRs. now we need a QB who'll throw to them! lol

Didn't 'give up' a pick.

Still have same number of picks. Just a little lower.

"The ice was getting thin at WR. A few went early and we valued Zay, so we wanted to trade up and get our guy." #BillsDraft

[Don't stop billievein]

This is a heavy Defensive draft!! Getting a top offensive player is a smart move here. If it was another CB then you could justify complaining.

[BuffaloBillsGospel]

I like the 2 guys we drafted, they both seem like quality guys and if they both start it's a bonus. I'm hoping Duke Riley is still there for us in the 3rd and I'll be ecstatic.
