The Bills drafted Shorter last year in the 5th rd.  The next 2 WRs off the board were Donta Wicks and Puka Nacua.  Oops!

 

SPECIAL TEAMS BABY!!    Shorter was the top WR recruit in the nation out of HS though, so not like they took a flyer on nothing

I don’t disagree, but it shows the luck of the draft sometimes.  Maybe Shorter becomes the breakout Bill this year, like Shakir last year.

That would be a bit of a shock....a good one, but not expecting anything.  I think he's WR6-7

I don’t think the Bills will like him because of age. They will likely prefer someone 21 years old.

I have felt that way too.  Maybe  Allen sways it.  Toughest choice is Mitchell vs Leggette imo.  Mitchell has what your looking for but not the production.  Leggette is older and his 1 season is still one of the best seasons in the class in the SEC with the most talent in the secondary of any conference.  Wr now being an immediate need vs a chance to come along slowly you may take the dip in potential for a bump in immediate impact.  Aj Brown is still a heck of alot of potential.

AD had big plays in big games.  Legette had way more YAC  and his breakaway speed looks unreal in games. Especially with his size/frame.  He's just BUILT. 

 


Tier 2 for me today would be :


Thomas Jr.
X. Legette
X. Worthy
AD Mitchell
Troy Franklin

I don't think so either.  He looks like a 5/6 to me as well, but an injury opens the door for someone to step up.

They could and should get 2 of them.

Beane has said over and over again he wants different than what we have. He wants field stretchers and wideners. Watch his end of season press conference.

 

They signed Samuel who is a wide receiver screen and underneath WR with RAC ability. He can be more than that but in Brady’s offense that’s what he was. Kincaid and Shakir both underneath WRs with RAC.
 

They are drafting someone that stretches the field vertically and horizontally.

 

 

 

 

Brian Thomas will be here today.

 

 

Honestly, if there is a point where need meets position for Beane to move up for, at this point I think it's Thomas.

He's got the size and speed, and the LSU pedigree for Brady.

 

I'm not saying he's our guy come hell or high water. If someone snipes him at 15, the Bills are SOL.

 

But if he makes it to the late teens or early 20s I think Beane does his best to work some magic.

 

If not, seeing Mitchell comes to you. After that, sorry folks let's try Round 2.

Gunner, you can't say that the Jets haven't drafted well with the exception of the QB position

 

They had a good draft the year they had 3 first round picks. Other than that...... meh.

When you are picking early in each round, it is a lot easier to draft well.

Franklin is an X.  

I don't see him as a "big-bodied" X, so the qualifier matters from my perspective.

I agree. I really like Shorter and was happy we drafted him at the time. As much as I like him, expecting anything at all from him is pointless. We have absolutely no idea what he can do and for all we know he is  Vosean Joseph…redshirt a year then out of the league.

Because the eclipse was cloudy yesterday, I spent the entire time looking at WR in this draft.

 

I don't understand the Brian Thomas hype.  All he does is run go and hitch.  I respect Josh Norris a lot, and he is also low on Brian Thomas.  The tape just isnt there with Thomas.  It's the same thing over and over again.  Go routes.

 

On the other hand, Xavier Worthy is going to be a problem in this league.  The guy played outside way more than I thought.  The amount of coverage he took away for teammates was insane.  AD Mitchell wouldn't even be a Day 1 or 2 pick if it wasn't for Worthy.  The guy also has multiple years of production and he ran really nice routes.

 

Worthy is my 4th rated WR.  Legette is my 5th.
