The speed must be coming in the draft. There is none of it in the WR room right now. Expand You know what's funny? When Brown was out this season our offense did just fine. 2 1

Governor Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 He was the most sought after FA before he left the Steelers way back when.
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I like this move and think he will be a solid contributor for us. I had interest in Fuller or Samuel but for the right price he could provide a great return on investment. Now let’s find a number two corner!

But this is a solid pickup if it happens. Expand John Ross is a terrible receiver. Like terrible. He doesn't run good routes. Has stone hands and has never had more than 28 catches in a season. Sanders could be 43 and more productive than ross 5 4
whatdrought Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 The only play that sticks out in my mind from this past year was when he was running a deep route and the Taysom wonder underthrew him by about 84 yards, the ball hung In the air for 3 rotations of the earth and sanders came back and caught it. 1 2

Gabriel Davis was a very promising rookie, but not ready to be a genuine WR2 in my eyes just yet. Expand Why did your eyes conclude that? 600 yards on 35 catches, 7TDs. Anyway, this Offense is going to give Beasley the #2 number of targets as long as he's here. Sanders is obviously better than Brown ever was, but I don't know how much they are going to change the Offense to get him a ton of touches. Plus he's 34 years old tomorrow...

He showed he can ball, wth are u looking for with Davis?? But Sanders will add a nice element to the offense, something we lacked with Brown last year due to injury. 4 wide sets are gonna be crazy to cover!

Expand Yeah I get what you're saying. I wasn't trying to slight Davis, he was incredible value for a 4th round pick and made some huge plays for us. I just think there is a big difference between being WR4/beating the opposing defense's CB4 likely in single coverage 100% of the time and being WR2 matched up against their CB2 and drawing a lot more attention. He's a promising second year player who has some room to grow, I just thought it would be risky to depend on him as our WR2 given how important our passing attack is.

He was an absolute stud, great route runner and caught everything. 1

Wouldn't you rather have someone who can run in a straight line very fast than a guy who is a temendous route runner and has great hands?

Mat68 Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 NFL isnt Madden. More than speed. Give me guys inside 20 yards that eat. Diggs, Sanders, and Beasley are a tough cover. Sanders will devour single coverage. Give Allen answers outside that can win quickly. Compared to whatever Angelor got this will be a robbery. 2
CorkScrewHill Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 also .. since he is a cut casualty and not a end of contract free agent .. he will not count against compensatory picks. 1 1 2 1
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Sanders is a badass and plays with effort and attitude, so a clear upgrade over Brown in that way. Just hope it's a cheap deal. 4
