Plans at WR?

[TFBillsfan]

With Harty released and now Gabe signing with the Jags, what is the strategy/approach for WR? Are we going dumpster diving in Free Agency and then hoping we hit in the draft at WR?

 

Our current roster is Diggs, Shakir, Sherfield and Shorter (inactive all season). Currently not scaring anyone and probably in the bottom 10 as a WR group.

 

Anyone else uncomfortable? That’s a lot of pressure to hit on WR that is impactful in the draft! Do we trade up? 
 

Thoughts or perspective on Beane’s approach?

[khlax3]

Sherfield is a FA 

[papazoid]

use first round pick

[NoSaint]

Gabe Davis and harty often combined for zero catches. we aren’t replacing a massive impact 
 

id expect a mid tier vet or two and a high draft pick still.

[zevo]

Free agency hasn’t even opened up yet. Let beane do his thing. R-E-L-A-X

[Warriorspikes51]

Higgins (draft cost + $$$ + competitor)

Ridley (likely too much $) 

 

Trade Options:

Courtland Sutton:  can be a 3.5 mil cap hit

Diontae Johnson:  I think cap is less than 10

Hollywood Brown

Darnell Mooney

Curtis Samuel

Noah Brown

 

 

Sutton + Samuel would be my targets

Sherfield is an UFA. In terms of WRs you forgot the guys we have signed to future contracts who are KJ Hamler, Andy Isabella, Tyrell Shavers and Bryan Thompson. I'm sure we'll add someone in UFA (my hope is Noah Brown who can fall anywhere between WR2-WR4 on the depth chart and not break the bank).  Then draft one in the 1st and 2nd and follow up with another in 5th.

Going to have to draft probably.  Going to be hard to get a good one in free agency with no money

Again I’m sorry he got hurt bt

 

only mistake Josh Allen had on the second pick was even targeting Gabe Davis

 

just seems like every time he targets the guy he just falls over or runs the wrong way

 

heal quick kid but maybe take the playoffs 13

And also use a 5th, maybe even a 4th fro a 2nd WR

Draft 2.  Avoid vet wrs like the plague this offseason.

I think this has been the plan for some time … what would you have them do otherwise?

[BruceSlayne]

Id like to get Curtis Samuel. Draft Thomas, Mitchell or Legette in the first and possibly Luke McCaffery in a later round. I'd be pretty happy with that

[Johnny Hammersticks]

I’d be thrilled with Darnell Mooney or Curtis Samuel.  Then take a WR with the 1st or 2nd pick.  Ricky Pearsall or Roman Wilson in the 2nd would be cool.

Honestly, I’m with you on that point and not worried at all. With the lack of production rfor periods in the end of the season between all the guys who specifically play WR; Stef, Gabe, Harty, Sherfield… The other guys we have stepped up; Cook, King Cade & Shakir. Diggs is still Diggs. 
 

Add a high pick and a guy from FA and how much worse can it actually be? I’d argue it’ll be better considering the guys who stepped up when we were hanging on by the skin of our teeth will only see more playing time and targets. 
 

Future isn’t as bleak even without a selection that high for Josh. We still got Big Blue, that’ll always be enough to win.

Per a post it on Beane's desk, 

 

"Pick

#28

#127

#162"

 

Unless that was his order for Chinese food.

probably sign one and draft at least two.

put Hollywood on my wish list

[Virgil]

Draft another Tight End and run heavy formation every play.   Problem solved

[NewEra]

🤔 draft picks and lower mid/mid tier FAs is the answer!
