MAJBobby Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Let’s not forget the really big thing about this signing. Will know the Offense Joe Brady will design. So like many new coaches get players to help coach the install. I fully expect that weighed into this signing as well. 3 Quote
Motorin' Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Brandon said: So Samuel is more of a slot receiver in the Cole Beasley role? His game is more like Deebo Samuels, actually. He kind of turns into a running back when he catches the ball. Edited March 14 by Motorin' 3 2 Quote
BarleyNY Posted March 14 Posted March 14 10 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I'm happy with that move. But it further underlines to me that the need in the draft is for a vertical threat, downfield receiver. Agree. Still need an X. If anything Samuel seems redundant with Diggs. Not that they can’t be in the field together, but they’re a lot alike. 2 Quote

Davis has 27 in 4 years and has been a great playoff performer. Does this guy block? He just seems different to me, not a huge upgrade. Davis dropped the ball more than we like, sure but are you telling me this guy has no warts? Who was throwing to this guy vs who was throwing to Davis? Quote
gonzo1105 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 4 minutes ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Then they need a huge move up in the 2nd. Because WR's will fly off the board starting with Carolina at #33. 5-10 won't be there at 60. And I don't care what their rankings are,we need Diggs replacement out of this draft. I think they’re a little more clued in on where guys are going to go than you and I. It does matter what their rankings are because they draft for the team not you or anyone else on this board. You can get a Diggs replacement it doesn’t have to be in round 1. 1 Quote

Draft Leggette or Franklin with that pick then grab DLine and safeties with next few picks This IMO is the play. Trade back get back your third. 2 Quote
Dr. Who Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Just now, Einstein's Dog said: It could make a Legette/K Campbell/T Franklin in the second more likely too though. You mean Coleman, not Campbell. I'm not keen on Franklin. Coleman is okay in the second. 1 Quote

Aussie Joe Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Dr. Who said: They still need Thomas, Mitchell, or Legette. I hope Beane takes from this incentive to trade up for Thomas. If it means one WR in the draft, get an elite talent. The value of the signing is diminished if it means getting a round 2 edge at #28. Thomas won’t get past the Jags at 17 in my opinion ,.. and they aren’t trading up that far Edited March 14 by Aussie Joe Quote
SCBills Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Nice signing. We now have 3 inside/outside guys.. Diggs being a traditional outside guy with inside flex and Shakir/Samuel more inside guys with outside flex. Presents a lot of flexibility with Knox/Kincaid in the mix at TE. Still think we need a true outside WR early in the draft and this definitely doesn’t change that. Still.. really nice piece to add. Draft an outside guy early and this WR room starts looking really nice. 2 1 Quote

TFBillsfan Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Solid signing but still need to target a WR early in the draft. We say BPA but really our only needs are at WR, S, C and DL along with a physical downhill RB in short yardage. Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I admit I had to look him up and watch a few highlights. Read every post. I think the consensus is he is a solid possible upgrade over Davis. Agree with others I am still taking a WR at 28 or a trade down. Still need a DT or edge in round two. Maybe play the long game now and see if they can get a safety on the cheap. Quote
The Jokeman Posted March 14 Posted March 14 41 minutes ago, 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) You forgetting when we had Peerless Price on the outside? Or Lee Evans? Quote
Einstein Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) 1 hour ago, ROCBillsBeliever said: We now have people to catch the ball 😱😱😱 Seriously, though, this is incredible news! Stoked that it's NOT just a 1-year. Beane knows we need continuity in the WR corps. Samuel reunited with Brady. Stoked! His contested catch percentage is only a few points higher than Gabe, unfortunately. We really need a better WR. Hopefully the draft brings us one. Edited March 14 by Einstein Quote
Dr. Who Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Just now, Aussie Joe said: Thomas won’t get past the Jags at 17 in my opinion ,.. and they aren’t trading up that far I agree, it would take a big trade up, which is unlikely. I'm going to keep pushing for a big X early. Quote
