Oh, I picked  7, I think they keep both Williams and McKenzie, and Zay is not going anywhere.

[Boatdrinks]

I have Cam Phillips, Ray Ray McCloud and Zay Jones getting visits from the Turk.

[Rocky Landing]

Here's where the optimism of the Bills fans is boundless: So far, Duke has the same chance of making the roster as Brown, or Beasley.

[whatdrought]

I said 7, but I'm now leaning towards thinking Zay will get traded.

[BobChalmers]

I picked 7 b/c I'm pretty sure they'll keep 7 - Brown/Beasley/Jones/Foster/Roberts/Williams/McKenzie

[brianthomas]

Well theres what WR's u think will be on the roster, and then theres what WR's u want on the roster.

Like if its who i'd like, & if we're keeping only 6, i say keep the 1st 5 on the list but swap out Andre Roberts for Duke Williams.

 

[Rocky Landing]

I think the chances of them keeping seven are extremely slim.

[formerlyofCtown]

I think they plan on keeping 7.  That is why they want Zay to play STs.

Roberts is our All-Pro return man.

I'll never hear the end of it from Alpha.

Agreed...I think it will be 6 personally.  

 

Locks:  Brown, Cole, and Roberts.

 

That leaves 3 spots...and I think its going to be Duke, McKenzie and then one of Foster/Zay with the latter being traded (or maybe cut, but I think both would have trade value).  I think Foster has more upside and they stick with him.  

 

But right now, I have a feeling Duke snaked someones job and its either Foster or Zay that will be affected.  

 

And if you look at the poll results right now (57 voters) it would be:  Brown, Cole, Duke, Roberts, McKenzie and Foster with Zay on the outs.

Pretty funny for a guy who couldn't even make an NFL roster the past two seasons.  And Jones has about the worst chance of anyone.

 

I only picked 4, the 4 that I'm pretty sure will make it, Brown Beasley, Jones, and Roberts.  After that who knows.  Doubt they'd keep 7 as none are that great.  You only keep extra when someone is really good.  After the top 2 or 3, remaining ones all have questions, so not worth keeping extra here.

 

I think if they could trade Jones , maybe package him with Ray Ray and Yeldon for a backup tackle, I'd be fine with that too.

[GreggTX]

I kinda hope they keep only 5 WR's. Other than Brown, Beasley and Jones, our WR's are all backup caliber players and can easily be replaced. I'd like us to keep an extra RB instead.

thats what i keep hearing & he definitely was the best in the league last year & he's a lock to make the team.

But for fan board hypotheticals if it came down to him & Williams i'd pick the Duke because he gives our offense something that nobody else can. With the exception of last year, AR averages about 22 yards/return. How much would Isaiah get, 19, 20, 21? Of course its just preseason but Roberts returns havent been very memorable so far this preseason, unless i'm missing something special he did. McKenzie is a better fit for our offense imo & he's been doing the punt returns, so I'd put McKenzie in that KR role too & use the extra roster spot for something different, like a tall wr who can make the big catch in the red zone.

Now if we're keeping 7 wr's than that changes & i'd keep Roberts. But we're gonna have to make some difficult decisions come cut day. Is a few yards possible extra per return worth getting rid of another player who could make a bigger impact somewhere else? Thats the decision & its gonna be a tough one this year... which is a good thing

Someone is getting the Sammy Watkins treatment and will be traded. Zay, Foster?

I've said in other threads that I think it is not unlikely that they only go with five WRs. I think Duke performances in the last two games might make six more likely. I've been high on him since they signed him in January. Really happy for him. If the Bills don't put him on the 53, I suspect he will get signed elsewhere, and we will regret it.

It would need to be an all time  blaze for that to happen.

 

Too late, even for the practice squad for Sills.
