I've seen nothing of Prather, but the NFL.com draft profile says

 

"not explosive" and "not a natural pass catcher."

 

Sounds promising.

 

Beane probably took him so he doesn't have to field 90 questions about not taking a WR with the media in 10 minutes.

“Strong separator”  “consistently good reps where he can win deep”

Don't have a heart attack gunner my cables won't reach acrossed the pond

[Process]

Beane is trolling us with that pick. 

 

In all seriousness, that was a great draft. 

 

Hope they have a plan at WR.

Unless you play madden for a living --- I mean our offense was just so horrible LY: record breaking season and all, Josh won MVP, etc----  yep, offense is the problem.

 

Everyone open eyes and look at how poorly our defense played:

 

DL: Quan was washed.  Forced to bring in Phillips and Jefferson for key reserve roles

 

CB: the CBs who saw the most snaps in our AFCCG loss --- Rasul and Elam?  Lol

 

I mean it was obvious these were areas we needed to upgrade-   then we watch the Eagles totally rattle Mahomes and that offense, like never seen before.  And it was clear as day what we needed to do.

 

Eagles didn't win the SB bc of offense, it was that defense that won it and a solid performance by Hurts.  

 

Copy cat league, we have the pieces on offense not defense

 

I understand what you're saying but do not agree with the final line. The Bills have Josh and Cook, with the latter being upset. Outside of that, the offense is made up of a bunch of average to good players at best, but no game changers in terms of receivers/TEs. This draft would not have made a massive difference in terms of talent level, I accept that. But it could have given the Bills something different. The fourth round pick is the one which bugs me. I hope I'm wrong, and the Bills bring in a big name free agent/trade at WR whilst Walker comes through.

Thought you were our "truck guy"/draft expert.....

 

Kidding, appreciated all you and @gonzo1105 summarized/time invested into this--- huge thanks!

Second half of the draft Beane is pulling gems out of the rough left and right.  Prather has great size and most of the ingredients to be a decent WR.

That's an under-the-radar WR. A size/speed guy at 6'2 and 200 and 4.45

Damn… in the blink of an eye he got shorter and slower. At this rate he’s going to turn into Mike Tolbert by the time camp starts.

Projects him as a WR2 or WR3. I'll take that this late.

I have know idea who Kaden Prather is

Nor does ESPN. He's so bad he doesn't have a draft profile. 

Looks more like a guy that will deliver your refrigerator than a NFL WR.

11.1 YPC is impressively bad.

I mean I watch the whole thing every year so I might as impart my wisdom/annoyance on everyone while i'm at it on this board haha

The scramble to sign UFA will begin soon.  There are very few veteran FA WR out there.  The roster is pretty much what it is now.

[Draconator]

what type of narcissist do you have to be to get a Jets jersey and have "Hulk Hands" as the name on the back? Geez...

We also needed a WR with vertical traits. I know it was not a good WR class and I wasn't banging the drum for one in the first three rounds, but I think we should have taken one early today. I guess our best option now is re-signing Cooper.

[Maine-iac]

Obviously never take just one source for the the absolute truth but here's one write up.  For a seventh round pick I'll take it.

Can't say I love the Rams draft.

[JBI$111]

Pathetic, they finally pick a wide receiver just so they can say they picked a receiver when the fan base has about had it with the lack of true talent in that area and help for Josh... and it's in the 7th round, basically a nobody in the UDFA category.
