BillsFanForever19 Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Fact is, John Brown was a one trick pony. Straight line speed. Never questioned Emmanuel Sanders replacing him for a second. Sanders is a complete receiver. Much better route runner. Light years ahead of Brown on contested catches and not afraid to run across the middle and get hit. With age and injuries, Brown's one skill has eroded to a point where it doesn't make up for his inadequacies in other facets of the game like it used to. Will always look at his couple years here fondly. But his time has passed. 3 Quote
uninja Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 He got a good second contract after his one year flyer in BAL from us and had a career year here as a WR1. Man made his money and should probably hang it up and enjoy his shekels for a bit and plan for his life after football. I will miss his TD dances and completely smoking Gilmore for a TD against the Pats. 1 Quote

Dotson seems like a first rounder........nothing wrong with taking a WR1 type in round 1. There are usually quite a few very nice interior lineman available in free agency..........All Pro's even............teams draft them early but then often let them walk because they desperately need to spend UFA dollars at high $ positions.......or their team just falls apart and they figure they have bigger concerns than paying market rate for a very good guard. The ideal formula is to draft your QB/passrusher1/LT/CB1/WR1 with your #1's..........then extend them a little early so you get a bargain rate..........then if you come up short at lesser $ positions like interior OL you can buy high quality at that position in UFA.

TBBills Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 He was never the same after his calf injury. Quote
GunnerBill Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 I thought it was pretty clear last year it was over for him. Lots of niggling injuries and even when he was healthy he struggled to separate. Will always appreciate what he did for the team in 2019, but some people overreacted, remember the "John Brown is a true #1 receiver" topics? He had a good career, was a good complimentary receiver and picked up the slack for us in 2019 when we were starting the process of upgrading our receiver talent. Quote

I am on the either a LT or a WR in round 1 train. I could, as we discussed elsewhere, be sold on a corner but would need the draft to fall in a very specific way. I'm not sure I see the argument for any other position in the 1st this year. They need to start putting more elite talent around Josh Allen. 3 Quote
