Dkollidas Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 I don’t like Higgins. And I feel like the Bills will like him even less than myself and other posters here. I honestly don’t think he’ll really be on their radar.

Never saw him as a 1st rounder but 2nd round for sure I don’t know if I buy that this year at the wide receiver position. If Higgins isn’t wort a first round pick because he might not have the highest dedication or focus at this point, I would take him off my board. 1
Virgil Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 18 minutes ago, whatdrought said: I don’t love Higgins, but this doesn’t feel like a fair take. The reality is that if his body wasn’t right, there’s no point risking money and draft value to workout when he can wait and do it at his pro day. I don’t think it’s a direct sign that he’s soft. But how often does this happen where it’s not pre-announced? I get that some players do their own private workouts instead of the the combine, but this comes off very different to me. 1
BuffaloBillies Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 If it doesn't fit, do not draft it. Something doesn't smell right 1
CEN-CAL17 Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Well it’s a good thing Denzel Mims is the pick now at 22.... 3

I get that some players do their own private workouts instead of the the combine, but this comes off very different to me. It happened a lot this year. I heard, and who knows if it’s worth anything, that many agents were hesitant to let their top guys perform at the combine with the new platform the NFL had built. Said they’d rather let B level players figure it out this year, and then the agents would know how to handle it for A level players next. I don’t know if this is accurate, nor if Higgins and his camp believe he can take such a risk, but it’s possible. I don’t think passing on the workouts hurt him that much as far as his stock goes, as he’ll be able to do everything at his pro-day and make up for that. I think the bigger issue is where other WR’s had great combines (Jefferson, Mims, Claypool, etc) and took a lot of momentum. That’s going to be hard to get back, but If he had reason to believe that he wasn’t ready to perform, no performance is better than a bad one. Edited March 2, 2020 by whatdrought
BeastMaster Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 I've heard enough. Wouldn't touch this guy at all 2
BillsPride12 Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 If he's soft McDermott/Beane will weed him out of the mix fast. With previous regimes we've had here this is exactly the type of guy they would've selected. 3
Lurker Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 This will definitely drop him into round 2. The question is, does it drop him from the Bills board at #54...
purple haze Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Much ado about nothing. I prefer other WR's at 22, but not working out at the combine has been done by many players, for many reasons over the years. He will run and drill at his pro day. 3

I know McBeane value players who are competitive and not 'me first,' which is what Higgins is basically saying. He must not have an agent as I'm sure they would have told him this would be perceived negatively from a "football character" perspective...
RyanC883 Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 I think he just got taken off the Bills board. I can't imagine the Bills taking him in the 1st, or in the 2nd with someone else who will be available. I really hope the Dolphins, Pats or Jets draft him. 1 hour ago, Virgil said: But how often does this happen where it’s not pre-announced?

But this sounds very different, almost like, I can't possibly prepare in 4 weeks for a workout. It comes off as if he's not focused on football. 2
Dafan Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Didn't Joe Burrows say the same thing and not workout? 2
Augie Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Don’t you ever just feel like taking a little nap? I’ve slept through many job interviews. If they don’t understand my sleep is important to achieving my peak performance, well, just forget them! . Edited March 2, 2020 by Augie 2

He did the interviews, medical checks, etc. he just didn't do workouts YET. Same as Joe Burrow. They will and whatever their tape says is what will determine their ultimate draft status. 1
JoPoy88 Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Fine with me just another reason NOT to take tee higgins. Want no part of that. 1
