MrEpsYtown Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 The offense is dying for complimentary players, not big time #1 receivers. I want a guy who is smart, is going to be in the right place, and will go up and get it when it is thrown to him. Chris Conley is his name. Free agent from KC. 6-3, 215 and a 4.35 forty. He holds the combine record for a 45 inch vertical. He's a super smart guy with an awesome personality. He's been kind of buried on the depth chart, but does have 5 touchdown catches this year (catches and TDs would tie him for second on our team). He does have a good amount of experience, he just falls low in the pecking order of guys to target. He's 26 years old and has a good relationship with David Culley who had a big part in his development in KC. Conley is the exact type of guy we should be adding to our corps. He's not a look at me guy, he has size and speed, good strong hands, and is a very intelligent football player. Perfect fit for the guys we have now and our quarterback.

Swill Merchant Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 You want elements of both, lest you become one dimensional. But if I'm building around Josh Allen I prioritize speed and pass blocking OL to take advantage of his strengths. Allen's best assets are his arm strength and running ability. Deep routes obviously take longer to develop than quick-strike intermediate and short routes. They also spread out the defense (especially when your QB can throw a 50 yard strike on a rope) which opens up running opportunities. I'd also prioritize speed and hands in a RB so that he may take advantage of the space created by the spread out defense. I realize big, physical, conservative, ball-control oriented offenses are generally preferred by defensive-minded coaches, but if Josh Allen is your QB of the future, build an offense that exploits the mismatches he creates.

Nextmanup Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Size, reach, and strength. There are guys in this league who don't really need to be open to catch the ball. That has to help your completion %.

without a drought Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Chasing either leads to bad picks or signings.
Rc2catch Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 If I could just poach a couple right now I’d grab Alston Jeffrey from philly and desean Jackson from Tampa.. drop a 2 to philly and a 5 to Tampa. Get it done OBD lol.. In all seriousness I would say Allen needs the speedy guys the most. Get 3 burners out there and scare the crap out of defenses with the deep ball. Should leave a giant portion of the field open for a running back or tight end weekly.. Not sure I trust Allen and his touch to be tossing up many jump balls
Boca BIlls Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I just want a good WR that can actually catch footballs.

I don’t care if you get “open” with speed, size or technical route running. PLEASE catch the ball!!!! There were more great catches in the National Championship game than we had all season long.....

LABILLBACKER Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 1. I'm not asking for much. Just someone who can catch the damn ball. So many drops last year. 2. Doesn't have to have 4.4 speed but must have above average catch radius and separation ability. 3. Lastly, be durable unlike Watkins & Goodwin. I can easily see us drafting both a speed guy and size guy. And hopefully we consider signing Ty Williams to a lower contract.

Go for the guy with the ability to make the tough, off-target catches. That and STRONG hands. For all the dismissal about Allen throwing too hard, there's merit. I'd take a good look at hand size among the receivers as silly as that may seem. 1
