obie_wan Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Biscuit, I respectfully disagree. I've said it all off season and firmly believe that the lack of a possession #2 WR hurt the Bills' offense more than anything else last season -- even more than the OL. The Bills need a large body to take up the middle zone, someone who can be a target in the redzone and can cause matchup problems for opposing LBs and CBs. A game breaking TE would be ideal, but none are really out there in the draft this year. However, at WR there are a couple. Mechem is that sort of play. I'm reminded of the 2000 draft (or was it '99) when the Colts were on the clock in the first round. They were loaded on offense with Manning, Harrison, Edge and a nice OL. But their defense was a mess. Everyone said they need to go Defense in round one. But instead -- they took Reggie Wayne. Now, I'm not crazy and saying the Bills are anywhere near as talented as those Colts were, but the logic is the same. They needed to give Manning another weapon and take the pressure off of Harrison and Edge. Plus, if your offense scores at a clip of 30 points a game, your defense will instantly look a lot better. There are two holes right now on the Bills' roster -- RB and LB. Arguably you can fill the RB in rounds 2/3. It's also possible to fill the OLB in rounds 2/3 as well. I'm not advocating the Bills passing up on Willis or AP if they are there at 12, however -- there is a lot of logic to taking a player like Mechem at 12 to 18. If nothing else, a player like him would improve the running attack regardless of who's back there. And if the offense is more prolific -- the defense won't have to worry about stopping the run as much since teams will be forced to play catchup. Just my worthless two cents. \\\\ If they can't get Willis, it would not surprise me if they a took a WR in rouond 1 - they can get their RB in round 3. they can get a LB later, but it will be to fill a roster spot- won;t be a sure fire starter.
Dibs Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Im game!!!!!!!!!! Always looking for that sucker bet! Is there enough room on the bandwagon for 1 more? The only way we pick a WR is if Johnson falls to 12.......in other words, not going to happen.
beerme1 Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 You sir are an idiot. I accept your bet and will pay off in th eludicrous position that it hapens. Robert Meachem WR Will not be our first. You owe me.
In space no one can hear Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I'm in. Never was $100.00 obtained with less effort.
HeHateMe78 Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I see it baby! Robert Meachem WR Meachem (6-3, 217) ran 4.41 and 4.48 in the 40 and 4.19 in the short shuttle. He had a 37½-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-8 long jump. He stood on his bench press total from the Combine. What intoxicating chemical are they putting in Iowa's water supply?
