freddyjj Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Must admit his diminutive size, foot surgery and the fact he is AB's cousin give me pause for concern. Weird that DJ Metcalf and Stanley Morgan Jr also have strong NFL Bloodlines too 1
PetermansRedemption Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Stay far, far away. Damaged goods in the draft are no where near worth a 1st rounder.

It will push his draft stock higher. He has the production in college too. I’ll stick to my guns he’ll be a first round guy even with the foot Expand It’s worth remembering that not every team has the dire WR situation that we do and can afford to draft him high, and they will. Bills probably will need to take a safer approach at that position imo
DCbillsfan Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I hope Brown fully recovers and I hope the Bills do not draft any WR with an injury history in the first three rounds. The Bills need at least 3 starters from this year's draft imo.
Dkollidas Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I hope he recovers and has a great career. but I don’t see us taking him, and this only cements it in my mind

dpberr Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Repairing this injury to the foot is like pulling the frame on a car.

Tough injury and after Sammy I'm sure the team is gun shy.
NewEra Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 This just reaffirms my thoughts that I want absolutely nothing to do with this guy unless it’s the 4th rd or later. Doug Whaley once said that human bodies weren’t made to play football. This dudes body wasn’t made to play flag football now he can’t show the world how fast he is because he can’t run at the combine or pro day. Let someone else roll the dice on a 165 lb wr

Pete Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 3rd rounder at least IMO after revealing that injury. It's a crapshoot if he ever gets his speed back. Who needs a 170# possession receiver?
CEN-CAL17 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I wouldn’t have touched him in the first regardless. I wouldn’t even draft this kid now in the top 100.

Expand Yep - Lis Franc is what Joey Bosa had - any foot issue with a WR is a risk especially at top of draft where those picks are like gold.
Buddo Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Hope it goes well for him. I really don't want the Bills to draft him though. For all they say stuff like being ready for camp in the summer, these sorts of injuries always seem to take more time for recovery. And quite often an extra surgery. Probably as a result of coming back 'too soon'. Imho, any GM who wanted to take him, should be prepared to sit him for most of the season, because I believe that the extra time sat, makes the difference in how well ultimately, the recovery goes. I'd also say that he same should apply to a lot of other injuries, but unfortunately, the way the CBA is set up, guys don't really get given that extra time to heal. Teams simply aren't prepared to wait, and sometimes can't wait.

Expand There's a certain point in the draft that, if he falls far enough, I'd consider him. Not quite sure what that point is. But a speed WR with a potentially chronic foot injury just doesn't sound very enticing to me. Wonder why?

That sucks. Drafting him remotely highly would scare the ? out of me now. If he’s there with our pick in the second I don’t think I pull the trigger. Yes in the third.

If he falls into day three of the draft, I might take a chance but I don't see that happening.

NoSaint Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Which wrs didn’t come back from this? Genuinely curious who the comparables are if so many are scared of it? I don’t know offhand
