Was wondering why so many want us to grab Milton late… I get it now. Guy could be a great backup for us. 

Joe Milton please as Josh's backup for the next several years.

He's 65% his last 2 collegiate seasons. And he's been on the money today.  Yeah I'm drafting this kid rather than waste 2-3 million every year on the Barkley, Tribisky,  Allen brigade.  Now Milton is putting on a show during the Josh drill.

I don’t think they can afford to spend a pick before late 5th on backup QB (need 2-4 to replenish D), but Milton is interesting as a backup candidate.

So big and athletic, not the very smoothest but at that size pretty good.

EJ Manuel threw over 65% too and he sucked in the NFL and was inaccurate.  Guys who throw bubble screens all day are different than guys who have to throw a 15 yard dig route or a 14 yard comeback.

You do realize we're talking about a backup for Josh who will likely never see the field nor will he cost us 3M/ yr.  EJ was a starter.  Poor analogy.

What does that have to do  with it? I didn't say he was a starter I was just bringing up Manuel because he was a 65% passer in College and was inaccurate and that him saying Milton being a 65% college passer isn't an indicator of his accuracy. Its a perfectly fair analogy.

 

Not all 65% passers are the same when one team is throwing downfield(Josh Allen) versus guys who are throwing quick screens all day.

He is a guy who can take those WR screens we run and go.

 

 Also with that size I’d hope he could be a plus blocker like Davis is

I think we could use an early 6th on him easily. Tired of wasting 3M per year on rehashed vets who aren't seeing the field anyway. 

[John from Riverside]

There are literally like 5 to 6 wide receivers, not counting the ones that are going to go early in the first round that I would be perfectly happy with
 

Franklin is the guy that I’ve been pounding the table for but I feel like he had a poor combine

Clearly your not a Milton fan and I'm not in the mood to spar so I'll leave it at that.

Im not against Milton he's just inaccurate lol. You could tell today he was trying to work on his accuracy today because he was taking a lot off the ball. I'm guessing whoever his trainer is telling him he doesn't need to howitzer it everytime. He wasn't good at the senior bowl either. He has a ton of upside if he can ever harness his physical traits.

 

I also believe that some team will draft him higher because of his traits than the Bills probably want to spend. I think Milton will probably go in round 4 which I don't think the Bills will be in the market before then.

Had a pretty good Combine. Here’s the summary:

 

40 yard dash: 4.47

10 yard split: 1.51

Vert Jump: 40”

Broad Jump: 10’ 11”

3 Cone Drill: 6.99s

20 Yard Shuttle: 4.01s

Bench Press: 14 reps

 

I have a late 3rd grade on him

40" is amazing hops.  That has to be a combine high

7th best vert among the corners

[Roundybout]

I'm sorry if I'm late to the party on this, but my goodness JJ McCarthy looks like ass when he's asked to throw beyond the sticks. Really bad performance on the go routes today.

Not surprising, they are the most athletic group in football.

I'm curious if Tez Walker can rebound. I was really high on him off of the tape and thought he was WR #4. Then his senior bowl was atrocious. Now he's testing off of the charts right now.

4.35 for AD Mitchel wow that will raise his stock

Ive been hoping Mitchell makes it to Bills.  He will be one of best WRs from this class in the NFL IMO
