Tsaikotic Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Where's Walter Powell? I thought that he was still on the team. he is...just not sure he makes the 53 list of WR's on Bills: (no UDFA yet) Sammy Watkins Jay Zones Andre Holmes Walter Powell Philly Brown Dez Lewis Brandon Tate Kolby Listenbee Jeremy Butler Corey Washington
Kirby Jackson Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Here is where I am at: - Sammy - Zay - Philly (slot) - Andre - Butler - Tate (returner) - Listenbee (ps)
Blokestradamus Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 None, we don't throw the ball. First day of rookie mini-camp - "Welcome to Buffalo, Zay. We're excited to get a new fullback on the roster."
LabattBlue Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Have to say that mgmt did a great job with the Zay Jones pick. The perception of our WR corps went from "Sammy + nobody" to a nicely rounded pool of talent. I hope so. This looks to me like last year...Sammy + a bunch of other teams castoffs + a couple of draft picks who have never played an NFL down(and you know how difficult the transition is from college to pros for WR's). Here's hoping there is a diamond in the rough somewhere in that depth chart.
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I hope so.

Here's hoping there is a diamond in the rough somewhere in that depth chart. I agree. The reciever corps depends on two things this season. The health of Sammy and the emergence of Jones. If Sammy is injured or Jones fails to adjust to the pro game the reciever corps will suddenly look subpar. The worst case scenario is a Sammy injury and Jones failing to develop. If that happened it'd be an ugly season. The troublesome thing is that we don't have a single proven entity at that position.
JM57 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Other than John Ross , Listerbee is probably fastest player in NFL. I'd think we would find a way to utilize that considering we utilized Goodwin last year. Listenbee might be faster than Ross if 100% healthy, that's the crazy thing
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Other than John Ross , Listerbee is probably fastest player in NFL. I'd think we would find a way to utilize that considering we utilized Goodwin last year. Yes, but we have to find out if he can play reciever at the NFL level first. Learning to play reciever in the NFL is a must regardless of how much speed a guy has. Countless receivers with tons of speed have flamed out of the league. Route running and attention to detail is so important in the pros. Guys can't rely solely on speed like they can in college. I'm not claiming that speed isn't a good skill to have. I'm just saying there is a lot more to playing reciever in the pros. Maybe we will be able to find a use for him, but in reality I think that is dependent upon his development as a reciever.
jumbalaya Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 14 Sammy 11 Zay 10 Philly 81 Andre 15 Brandon 3 way toss up for the last spot Kolby/Butler/Lewis 50/50 chance that Sammy doesn't make it through training camp, and with no 5th year option, he's effectively gone.
K-9 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Noone forces you to partake of the thread. The title isnt vague. Noone indeed!
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Noone indeed! Soemthing tells me we're into something bad.
Antonio Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I will go with: #1 Sammy #2 Holmes #3 Zay #4 Brown #5 Powell If we keep 6 it will be a battle between Kolby and Tate. I hate to see Tate leave because he played ok last year returning punts, but with White & Zay ST skills he may be the odd man out.
Green Lightning Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Ok I went Well thought out! The board gives me a chuckle a day and this was today's.
Success Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Listenbee's speed is too intriguing. Would be surprised to see him cut.
