Guessing Bills wanted someone faster that could create more separation. Size is important but our front office learned that it doesnt matter if the receiver is slow. Gabe is a bit faster than AGG. Both are beasts tho

MAJBobby Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Just now, whatdrought said: It would appear route running is his biggest weakness, which is great cause he will be sitting behind 3 great route runners, learning from them. yes that is his problem. Small route tree and slow in and out of breaks because of lacking knowledge on the nuances of route running. Played in college relying on his god given ability.

You folks need to get grip on this size fantasy. 6'2" is more than FINE. ? I'm fine with it. Nowhere did I complain. I'm just pointing out that 6'2 is not physically imposing and in no way should be considered as having size at the WR position. If he produces, who cares. Right? 1

I would have preferred him in the next round, esp. w/ our WR room so full. good point--they musta really liked him and didnt want to risk it 1
stinky finger Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 8 minutes ago, CEN-CAL17 said: I like the pick.... some positional draft rankings had him a top 10 WR in the talented class. He’s a possession type WR that will have to learn to play the slot better.... He plays outside the hash marks, no?
Special K Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Called this pick in the other thread...love it!! As a UCF alum, I have watched him dominate for two seasons...big physical guy, and a hands-catcher with a huge catch radius. This guy is exactly what the Bills WR group needed! Go Beane!!! 11 2

He is a Physical WR that knows how to shield with body and high points very well. That is physically imposing. 3

Too much of a project If you draft Donovan you’re drafting on his high school potential much like Cam Akers cause he was the third receiver at Michigan
Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I like the pick again. He has some size without compromising a ton on speed at 4.54. But keeping with the theme so far with Epenesa and Moss, he has big time college production and is young. Good job Bills once again. I think we need a linebacker, but so far check all the boxes for me. DE, #2 back with pop, and now a larger ball pointing WR with college production, not some project. NFL had him as a 4th and that’s where he went, appropriate value.
