As the fan of a college program that only sporadically remembers it is allowed to throw to its talented but underused TEs, I don’t even blink at this production. 

Your pro-team is the same, but with no talented TEs

His lack of production is quite disturbing.

He played for a program on probation, his QBs constantly changed, he converted from QB to TE, and he had other talented receivers that attracted plenty of attention from whatever QB was tossing the ball. It's good to draft guys on what they "can" do, and not just rely on what they "have" done.

That's my thoughts as well.

They did it twice this draft, throwing away picks to move up when they didn't need to. 

 

Why do the Bills seem to always hire GM's that throw away draft picks?

96. Buffalo Bills (from Redskins): Dawson Knox, TE, Old Miss

Dawson Knox caught only 39 passes in college and hasn’t caught a touchdown pass since his junior year in high school. But he was underutilized in the Ole Miss offense, which featured the receivers, and the athletic traits suggest he has the potential to be much more than what the box score says.

What's the point in where they were picked. Maybin would have been bad in the 3rd round. Therefore the point is they have poor college production.

 

So weak. Keep trying. Maybe go watch football games. Where does the Ball go I. ole Miss when you have Metcalf Brown and another Draft WR that will be taken tomorrow?

Nice synopsis of Knox. Pretty encouraging. Seems like a strong blocker with some downfield catching ability.

Hopefully BillsVet will be happy now.

[Kirby Jackson]

Another one of my guys?!? I love this draft 

[1ManRaid]

Guys he had question marks at QB, and played with AJ Brown and DK to explain his lack of production.  He's a great dual threat TE who will dominate with Allen.

It appears that you are not familiar with what the term “throwing away” means

Or Fort?

lets face it no one knows how good these people are before they get into the nfl....exc for everyone who watched EJ Manuel play or some other examples.

[100DollarBills]

I just hope he was worth both our 4th rounders. Could have used those on another CB and LB.

You don't think Croom showed promise at all? 

[BobDVA]

I like this pick, I mean I really like this pick.  Picked up on him at the combine and wanted him from that point on.  This man will be the starting TE by the time the bye week arrives and will be a huge difference maker by the midseason mark.  MHO

Wow, this guy did not produce.

 

Other than the very first pick of the draft, I don't think this draft will grade out very well.

He did average 18.9 ypc. That's pretty productive for a TE.
