A very intriguing prospect no matter what but it would seem a bit odd to have two developmental QBs on the team. In 2017 Tyree injured his knee running the ball. In 2018 he looked hesitant to take off running. Was he coached not to run out was he skittish from the injury? I don't know. If it's the latter would that affect his ability to play TE?

I personally think (hope) Josh can and will develop that talent over the next couple of years as he grows into being a pro franchise QB. I think he could......he's a rare athlete with no limitations in his delivery, IMO....but it's critical nowadays that young QB's first become successful with the plays they can already make at the NFL level. That's why teams like the Chiefs, Rams, Eagles and Bears went far out of their way to help young QB's with WR talent that propped up those players. First "build up" the young QB with confidence and success doing things he CAN do........and then gradually refine his game to add aspects that weren't there initially.........and ultimately hope he becomes the type of QB who MAKES his WR's look great. IMO It's important to remember that these are young men who get rich quick and they have the freedom to turn their back on things that aren't inspiring them. Propping them up gets them excited about taking the project to the next level. I don't think the Bills are quite as "all in" as those highly successful QB build-up teams were. Job #1 of any regime is to make your QB play better. But I do think they are getting the right "type" of WR's at least.............separation and high point guys. Edited April 28, 2019 by BADOLBILZ 4

Remember when the board called this a "Gutsy", "Big Balled" move to thwart BB from "stashing" this guy on the PS? And how this "lefty" would provide a ball rotation that would "mess with" returners?

But he only runs a 4.77 forty, so I'm not sure he could switch positions. He might be a good fit in some rover / specialty packages, and for sure ST. Still, he looks like another one of the plays-faster-than-he-times guys (due his recognition skills) that McBeane love so much. Interesting guy, for sure...

"Supreme" means "superior to all others"...........and its not superior to the efforts made by those other teams. For instance.........the Rams added Woods, Kupp and Watkins for Goff year 2...........the pedigree of those additions blows the Bills efforts out of the water. Edited April 28, 2019 by BADOLBILZ

This kid is one of the most impressive packages of brains and "maximizing-what-talent-I-have" that I've seen in many years. His production speaks for itself. But what really gives me tingles is how smart/mature he is. As Belichick likes to show, brainpower and mental agility can take a WR a long way in this league.

They got Watkins very late... there is still time but like Beane has stated they don’t seem to value a number 1 receiver they want to spread the targets around. I honestly believe they are holding out for the loaded class next year where they are pretty much guaranteed to get a great prospect no matter where we end up.

Can he come out the gate and replicate his strong finish to 2018? If so, that dude has #1 WR potential.

I will give this staff credit for last year's UDFA signings, as four of them (Boettger, Love, Foster, Wallace) look like real good finds. FOUR OF THEM IN ONE UDFA PERIOD. Fantastic. Foster has obvious talent when you watch him play.

Zay Jones on the other hand, hopefully nothing tragic happens when he''s cut.

Nothing better than finding legit UDFA’s who can actually contribute on the field. I don't care if they're FA's or 3rd rounders. Just find me 5 guys who can catch a ball coming in at 65mph. 5 guys who can stay healthy and make plays.

Pretty much everyone is penciling in Foster, Brown and Beasley as the main guys. Though, Foster is going to have to step up with more competition around. The rest is competition and Sills seems like a good option to make it. He and Duke Williams are the only guys who can offer any size. Sills was a highly productive player and he has a strong chance to make it.
