thenorthremembers Posted April 28 Posted April 28 (edited) During his end of draft press conference Beane mentioned they worked out a WR today they will end up signing. Regardless of them drafting a wideout to play the boundary I've fully expected the Bills to bring in another boundary WR post draft. So who is it? Given the Brady connections I've expected OBJ or Michael Thomas. Any other thoughts on who it may be? Edited April 28 by thenorthremembers Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted April 28 Posted April 28 DJ Chark. Speed with boundary experience. Former Panther FWIW as well ..lol In all seriousness, Chark isn't a star but he makes a lot of sense. 4 4 1 Quote
NewEra Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Sadly, I think it’ll be Michael Gallup 1 hour ago, BuffaloBillyG said: DJ Chark. Speed with boundary experience. Former Panther FWIW as well ..lol In all seriousness, Chark isn't a star but he makes a lot of sense. Would be a good signing 2 Quote
Gunsgoodtime Posted April 28 Posted April 28 It was me, vet minimum. But a nice pay upgrade to say the least 1 9 Quote

Because as a low cost "see what he's got in the tank" I can think of worse. 6'3, 200 lbs, 4.3 speed, special teams experience and a 1000 yard season in 2019. He's had a stretch of some injuries, but has had abysmal luck with teams. The last three years have been, in order Urban Meyer Jags Detroit right as they started getting consistency The 2023 Panthers And he still managed 500 yard seasons the last two years. It's worth seeing if there is some gas in the tank 2 1 1 Quote
JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Just based off production, give me Tyler Boyd: 1000+ yards in 2018 & 2019, 800+ yards in 2020 & 2021, 762 in 2022, and 667 in 2023. Seems a solid floor to me even if he is not the typical burner that would really balance out our WR room. 1 1 Quote
Bangarang Posted April 28 Posted April 28 (edited) I doubt a true difference maker is going to sign immediately after the draft. I wouldn't get my hopes up Edited April 28 by Bangarang 3 1 Quote

TOboy Posted April 28 Posted April 28 I think all the Bills reporters (and maybe national reporters) are resting after the draft. Not a single peep or speculation on who visited TBD today. Quote

I dunno, but just to temper expectations I would think any signings would take place after May 1 - or are we 100% out of the comp pick business anyway this season? I would think Gabe Davis and Tyrell Dodson would help us get something.... Quote

He was a starting outside WR before they drafted Higgins. 1 Quote

gonzo1105 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 I’m trying to think of guys they’d actually make work out. They wouldn’t make Boyd and Chark work out imo. What about an off the radar guy like Kenny Golladay? Out of the league last year still only 30 but def a guy they’d make workout Im thinking it’s a guy more a long those lines Quote

I feel like it's the NFL's equivalent of ESPN's "total QBR", something that requires so much code no ordinary human can understand it. I want a formula I can sit down with a pencil and paper and a big-button calculator and grind through I can't even figure out what the floor is for a qualifying contract. I'll stop griping now https://overthecap.com/compensatory-picks Anyway, we lost Gabe Davis, who signed for $13M AAV We lost Leonard Floyd, who signed for $10M AAV We signed Curtis Samuel, who signed for 3 yr, $24M or $8M AAV but evidently he doesn't count? Everybody else we lost or signed is apparently too small potatoes. So it seems to indicate a 4th/5th for Gabe and a 5th/6th for Floyd? Quote
