Because he's NOT expected to be a #1 guy. That's Lee Evans.
The whole point is to get Lee Evans another 10-15 shots downfield, let alone more touches, correct ? That equals points in my world.
We basically ignored our TE in 85-90 % of our games over the last few years. We're drafting one this April and will probably throw more to the TE. Even the Courtey Anderson, Tayo Johnson signings showed the Bills wanted more catches from that position. Royal could be on thin ice. The Safety must play closer to the LOS, if we actually show the TE will get some looks.
Lynch should see more swing passes. That pulls the safety up closer to the LOS.
The #3 slot position (Parrish/Reed) will still see it's share of catches.
Our Rookie WR ideally will be a good pattern runner who can catch the 6-12 yard pass and move the chains. It would be nice if he had some red zone ability,size and speed. He doesn't need to have a big stats year in 2008 but deliver when thrown to.
Bryant Johnsons average season over 5 years is 42 catches for 535 yards. D. J. Hackett has 1,394 total yards in 4 years. Yet they were seen as the answers to our #2 WR need and would have produced 800 + yards, caught key passes and several TD's, without question? Riiiiiiiiiiight. Talk about a leap of faith. This FA WR class stunk to high heaven. It was full of #3 WR's who were drafted/paid to be #1 or #2 WR's. They failed. So on to the draft.
We may differ where one is selected. I won't go into cardiac arrest if one isn't selected in Round 1, since I know of many good hands WR's not named Malcolm Kelly or Limas Sweed. If the Bills like them, that's fine but Evans is still here for at least 2 more years so we don't need the next Big Thing right now.
I'll be fine with whoever the Bills select but that Rookie is just one part of the formula to improve the pass offense and get Evans more touches, along with the TE, Lynch, #3 WR and maybe some actual playcalling by the Turk, unlike Fairchild.
Keep it in perspective.
