BillyWhiteShows Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 With the recent acquisitions by the Bills this week, there will be some serious competition at WR....in a good way. Gone are the days where Jeremy Kerly battled it out with Austin Prohel for WR#3. The level of quality took quite a jump from the start of camp last year and it might only get better. Here is their roster: WR 1Josh Brown WR 2 Robert Foster WR 3 Cole Beasley (slot) WR 4 Zay Jones WR 5 Isaiah McKenzie WR 6 Andre Roberts (KR) This group will be fighting for one or two WR spots at the bottom of the depth chart: Duke Williams Cam Phillips Da’Mari Scott Ray Ray McLeod Victor Boldin Jr This is the WR’s of today - I wouldn’t rule out bringing in an under-the-radar UFA or a mid-round draft pick. So competition will only increase. 1 1
Alphadawg7 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Hence why I think Zay will get traded if he doesnt find a way to hold a spot higher on the depth chart. 1
MacGyver Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 They still need top shelf talent at the position. Draft a WR at 9 please. 2
Virgil Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I'll take "thread titles I didn't expect to see at the start of last season for 500 Alex" 7 10 1 1
ukbuffalo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I’m still expecting a WR in the draft. What will knock Isaiah out of our 53

I hope it’s not at #9, because I’m not sure there is a guy worth that. Get Oliver or edge, or trade back. I’m still for a high pick WR to develop. 2
whatdrought Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 It will be interesting to see what our young guys look like in a room full of professional receivers... wheat and chaff type deal.
Saxum Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I am expecting Duke Williams to knock Isaiah out of top 6, It is possible that all of the WRs Josh is practicing with in California except Foster are not on the roster day 1. 3
ukbuffalo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Nah , I’m thinking round 3. Get a complementary WR what is slightly different to our current lot
folz Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Most teams only keep six wide receivers. You have us keeping 7 or 8. As it stands now, I agree with your top four: Brown, Jones, Foster, and Beasley. They will dress and play on Sundays. I think the order is still to be determined (not necessarily in the order you have). And then, obviously, Roberts sticks as your 5th spot as KR/PR So everyone else is battling for one spot. I would think Duke Wiliams has the pole position on that right now. We need a big guy in the room too and he's a big guy that can actually get downfield. Plus, teams usually only dress five WRs on game day. So, if he isn't quite ready, but they think they can coach him up, they can wait on him a bit. Unless the FO adds a true number one, that's how I see it standing now. And I might be ok with those six players. I'd rather see them draft a big-time TE at this point to round things out, rather than trying to add a true #1 WR (if that really exists, outside of maybe 10 guys in the league). I'm fine with adding a young WR or two in the draft to groom on the practice squad, but I don't think we need to use a premium pick on a WR now. Edited March 14, 2019 by folz

Maybe you mean we haven’t had a GOOD and BIG WR since Moulds? Who put you in charge of TO doesn’t count? Why not? How about James Hardy? We’ve had big WR’s but very few GOOD WR’s of any size. I’m not at all opposed to a bigger target, but not at #9 in this draft....especially If the reason is we haven’t had a big WR in a long time. Have to do better than that.

TO and Hardy kind of prove the point don't they? One washed up, one a headcase. Lee Evans was good, but I'm talking 6'4" specimen etc, I just want.

I highly doubt this will occur - looking at OL or DL player who can immediately contribute. WR’s take a couple of years to hit their stride, usually.
