Of course, if Foster and Jones are both WORSE than Brown, that's a bad problem to have. Seriously bad, because it means the Bills have exactly one wide out. The problem the Bills have at receiver is mediocrity. They need players to emerge as real go-to guys. People expected that of Brown, but it hasn't happened after a stellar rookie year. Some people expected that of Jones, but he did very little in his second season, when he should have been breaking out. (Yes, he had a nice play here and there, but EVERY guy good enough to be on an NFL roster will make a nice play here and there. Look at McKenzie.) Foster hasn't done it yet. Williams is unknown. Sills is a rookie. The Bills need guys to step up. My prediction is that the Bills will end the season, if not start the season, with their top four receivers being Beasley, Brown, Foster and Williams. Why? Beasley is an excellent short- to mid-range guy, and the Bills are telling Allen to throw more of those passes. He is the anchor for the receiving corps. Brown, Foster and Williams are the three most talented receivers after Beasley. Brown and Foster have the speed that allows them to get open short or long. Williams was a four- or five-star recruit who needed time to get his head together, and his experience in Canada suggests he's done it. Jones doesn't have the speed that Foster and Brown have and doesn't have the all-round talent, including hands and physicality, that Williams has. But as I said, the problem the Bills have is that they all could remain mediocre. If that happens, improved oline or not, Allen will be running for his life again this season.

I'm concerned that Beasley's skill set isn't going to jive with Allen's. I think to take advantage of a guy like Beasley you need a QB to make quick, correct reads and accurate throws with touch. Not saying that Allen can't eventually do that but it certainly doesn't look like the strong point of his game right now. 1 1 1
