Exactly baseline WR2/complimentary piece to the WR room. I mentioned earlier today in the Armstead thread, that Beane is likely targeting Samuel/MVS, then going DL in RD1. Wr in RD2 (trade up to high 40s/#50, to get ahead of Steelers). Will see if draft plays out like that. But hoping we can get our starting FS before draft, and a backup DT. 1 2 1 Quote

This is extremely defeatist of me, but I am concerned they are not going to learn their lesson about WR and the first round WR may not be coming now. 1 1 3 1 1 1 Quote

With Diggs, Shakir and Samuel, at least half our WR room will be 6ft or under. No complaints with the signing just hoping for more size moving forward. We still have Shorter who is a taller guy. 2 1 1 Quote

Yeah the issue is Size Speed WRs don’t hit the market without issues. You need to draft those. Quote
BigDingus Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Hell yeah! This was one of the few players I actually named as people I wanted! I think he'll be very successful here if he can stay healthy. 2022 - 64 rec / 656 yards / 4 TDs 2023 - 62 rec / 613 yards / 4 TDs Obviously not the numbers Gabe Davis put up, but also - he was playing in Washington. 1 Quote

The more I think about it - we have that capital to trade up in round 2, and now it feels like we can really beef up the D-line in round 1 & still get a good receiver w/ the 2nd pick, given how deep this class is. 1 1 Quote

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Just now, gonzo1105 said: Id like to know where this X receiver is going to play that’s a first rounder. Got Diggs and Samuel making good money on the outside with Shakir and Kincaid in the slot. Unless you’re playing Samuel in the slot and Shakir isn’t playing. No way we could go with a 5 foot 11 outside WR in the Buffalo cold. I just want someone to piece it together for me since we absolutely have to have one on the field. I actually am glad they added a weapon. I fully expect them to take a WR early but wouldn’t surprise me if that’s in round 2 now. I’d say DT is looking likely and there is a possibility a Newton, Murphy or Fiske(with a trade down) Curtis Samuel is more of a Slot guy. He's going to get a lot of usage all over the field. But for as much as you were joking, you weren't wrong that he isn't a full time Starter on the outside. There's a lot of different looks we're going to give to have him on the field a lot. I think we're going to see a lot more of Kincaid with his hand on the ground. Diggs, Rookie, Samuel in the Slot with Kincaid at TE. 4 WR sets with Diggs, Rookie, Samuel, and Shakir. Etc. And some scenarios you'll have Samuel split out Wide. But the idea that Samuel creates a scenario where Round 1 WR is out and the Outside Spot is now completely covered isn't accurate. 1 4 1 Quote

Just like DB’s, you can never have enough because they are always dinged! Or, is that just us? It sure feels that way sometimes, but it should even out over time. Our time is yet to come! Quote

What's the lesson? I still kind of hope we go WR in the 1st, but now it won't ruin me if they go w/ defense - which we also need, and probably more at this point. There will be very good receivers still available in round 2. 1 Quote
