YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 FLEX OFFENSE Robert Foster, Buffalo Bills Prior to Week 10, Foster had caught just two passes, been released, signed to the practice squad in Buffalo and had been held without a catch in five of his career six games. However, his perseverance paid off as he more than earned his spot on the team for his efforts over the final seven games – a stretch that saw him grade out as the best rookie receiver in football from Week 10 to Week 17. 1
JaCrispy Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 This could be the beginning of something big...imagine Foster and Allen in year 2!

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Wallace should have made it on defense 4
Boatdrinks Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Kudos to Beane , Daboll et al and of course Foster. I ,along with many other fans was highly skeptical of this guy. One of the bigger turnarounds of a Bills player that I can recall. Excited for the future potential of Allen to Foster. They seem to have developed a chemistry and the prospects look good going forward. Edited January 6, 2019 by Boatdrinks 3

Should have picked 3 - 2 outside and one slot. Wallace ended the season as their top rated rookie CB, but it’s probably a full season thing and he didn’t play as much as the others.

They both had the same amount of time basically. It was that Barkley jet game for both.
offyourocker Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Seems like Daboo helped with a couple solid picks last year. Hopefully he knows one more under the radar guy for this year. 1
Virgil Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Just serves as a reminder to many, including myself, that the front office has a process and evaluate things we don’t see. We’ve swung and missed, held on too long sometimes, but this time it worked out tremendously 2
VW82 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I wonder how much the success of Foster (and to a lesser degree Mckenzie) will impact how the Bills view the types of receivers they target moving forward. Allen's accuracy issues are well documented, and so finding guys that can really get open becomes that much more important. The one thing that Zay, Clay, Holmes, and KB all had in common is none of them were very good at gaining separation. You probably give up some blocking, execution on wr screens, etc., going after guys like that but until Allen can learn to become more precise on his throws (i.e. leading receivers away from defenders more consistently) there are going to be issues completing balls in tight coverage.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Pretty crazy that (down the stretch) we had the best graded out rookie WR and best graded rookie CB and drafted neither Edited January 5, 2019 by Brianmoorman4jesus 5 1 1
LSHMEAB Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I can't help but think how asinine I found the thread posing the question as to whether or not he could be a #1. Amazing find by Beane and Daboll. Kid deserves all the praise in the world. Must have enormous confidence considering he was so unproductive at Alabama and needed to be humbled by the demotion. That kind of confidence and belief is necessary to thrive at the professional level. 1
K-9 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 The decision he made to stay in town and work with Josh over the bye week was instrumental in his turnaround, imo. If he can stay on his current trajectory, sky’s the limit. 3 1

Tre’Davious White is the top dog and the Bills have added Levi Wallace and Taron Johnson to their young core in the secondary. Following the season finale, PFF announced their highest-rated rookie cornerbacks. Wallace finish the season with an overall grade of 83.5, making him the NFL’s best rookie cornerback in 2018. 1 1 4
Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Who says there are no diamonds in Alabama's rough? Proper coaching and a receptive player help as well.
Bill_with_it Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Can’t be everyone on here said Beane and staff don’t know what they are doing Yolo. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 It would probably be a good idea to keep taking undrafted guys from a place like Alabama. You figure they at least would have most likely been big time recruits and you know they were coached well. 1
