Drafting Jameson Williams will make us unstoppable

[hondo in seattle]

Nothing against Williams, but what would make this offense unstoppable is a powerhouse offensive line.

If he's there at 25 and we don't take him, i'll be sick.  

 

I know we could use a CB, but he's a top 10 talent who would ONLY be there due to his injury.  I don't even care if he and Tre miss the first quarter of the season, just get them going halfway through the season and ramped up for the Playoffs. 

 

It would be similar to what happened with McGahee coming off his ACL when he fell to us

After that…don’t really care.

Not sure what your intent is here, but it’s unfair to compare ACL’s today to ACLs 20 years ago. The technology and recovery times have come a long way.

Not to mention, McGahee’s knee injury was much more severe…

I'm getting at how McGahee was only there because of the injury

Mcgahee had one of the worst ACL tears I can ever remember seeing. His knee was completely destroyed.

Hate to break it to ya... this team is looking at CB's now that Levi is a Steeler

If Beasley Bucks can bring in a vet at CB, then a WR sticking out on the board at 25 becomes more palatable, yes.

Then you are 100% correct. He would have went way earlier. 

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

I don't believe that Williams will be around when the Bills draft and I doubt that Beane will pay to move up to get him.  Just looking at the WR's likely to be around in rounds 2 and 3, there will be some speed guys available.  WR is a very deep position group in this draft class.  CB isn't as deep and the talent drops off considerably after the first six guys.  McD will probably push to get the CB, if one of their top rated guys is there at pick 25.

 

Either way it goes, I'll be okay with it.  Williams would be an awesome addition.  If Williams is the pick, I'll be listening for a Barbarian's primordial scream coming from deep in the southern tier.  lol

I also like Gordon in the first and Wan’Dale Robinson in the second. But I’m good with either of those four players. Really curious to see how the Bills first few rounds go. I could see them trading up into the second as you suggested or even trading up higher in the second round. 

[buffaloboyinATL]

Yup, Williams is my #1 choice as well. If he is gone before our pick, then I hope we take the best CB available.

Yeah umm between them I don't think they have 20 NFL catches, not guys I trust. 

Someone you draft would have zero NFL catches, you know...

[Patrick Duffy]

Would be interesting if he's still there when we pick, but Bills might go different position depending how things go between now and then. Also with WR looking like a good, deep class this year could make them pass in 1st round.

 

No way to really get a read just yet, but clearly WR will be addressed whether it be veteran or draft. Will be interesting to see how things play out.

While the logic makes sense, its not Beanes style to look into a position as must draft at this spot, he is a strong believer in BPA on his board.  Now...that being said, people take BPA way to literal around here, its clearly not ever purely BPA, I mean we aren't taking a QB if that is who is BPA at our pick.  Needs are always baked into their grades on their board, and when they say BPA, its based on their board grades, not peoples mock drafts or anything.  

 

But if Jameson is graded higher than what ever DB they have the highest grade on at that spot, I have no doubt he would take Jameson.  

 

HOWEVER:  Beane has also said (what should be common knowledge, but again people take BPA way too literal) that if there are 2 players that are "closely" graded, then things like depth of that position in the draft can come into play too.  So if Jameson is the top guy on their board, but the CB had a similar grade, then the draft being very deep at WR could influence them to take the CB instead if they felt the fall off was greater in the next rounds at DB.

I think it's likely that Williams misses at least half of the season.

This teams fine in regular season. If he can play the 2nd half, get some chemistry and be ready by playoffs it's a great move. A Ferrari is in our price range because of a scratch on the door

The last paragraph in this post is exactly how this process works. BPA versus need is not an either/or proposition.  It seems to me, and maybe I’m wrong, but many posters here seem to look at it as either/or.  If there is a CB available at 25 who is rated at the same level as the best available WR I could see them going with the CB. Free agency could change this.

How is his actual route running and hands?  All the highlights I see of him are Kick Returns and Deep balls.  We need someone who can also find the zone and make contested catches?

 

@Bill from NYC

In just a few days I will give an analysis on every draft eligible Bama player.

[wppete]

The more I think of it this would be the best move we can make even if he sits for the first half of the year.

I'm wondering if he's a Beane draft guy though.  From what I saw, he only had one year of production after be buried on the depth chart his first few years.  From what I've seen so far, he might only be a burner

I want him

I think we go corner
