    Nix: We like our receivers as is

    "Once we signed Steve Johsnon, we felt pretty good about our receivers," Nix told host Mike Florio. "Everybody thinks we need (one). And I've said it. That's why they think it I guess, that we need a speed guy on the outside. But we've got some guys. We've got nine receivers right now that are under contract that we think can fill that role. So we're probably not in the wide receiver business."


    How can that be believed when they brought in Meachem?

    It can't. It's GM speak they'll draft another one or two.

      It means they are not DESPERATE for one, but if one shows up reasonably priced that fits their criteria, he won't be opposed to it.

        That's the opposite of what he said in his end of season press conference.

          what team is WR desperate behind us in the draft? if the BPA is WR, who do the bills call to say, "we are taking your boy at this spot, want to trade?"

          just curious.

              What he's basically saying is what's left in the FA market is not an improvement over what we have. We'll draft one for sure.

                theyve obviously transitioned from considering buying a wr2 in early facy to finding one on the team and with late free agency bargains

                its no big deal, lots of teams have a shakey wr2 and end up filling the role by committee. the bills have good options in the slot, good pass catching backs, a te who is a threat (finally), and a dearth of possibilities at wr2 of which somebody is likely to emerge as at least a serviceable option

                they made their big splash and should have a dramatically improved defense that takes pressure off the offense always having to produce. they have limited resources and really cant afford splurging at wr2 anymore

                thats what hes saying

                    What an absolute, unexpected lottery-like gift it would be if Marcus Easley panned out this year.

                    But, if all that happened, as Bills fans, we would have threads about a Mayan moment on Dec 21.

                        All this means is that we wont spend 7 million on Mario Manningham. We will draft a wr but not until we take a tackle. Trading down looks great cause Adams or Gleen will be there if not, were taking Reiff or Martin.

                              also look at the giants. they thought about trying to slide victor cruz into the practice squad last year. but they thought a team or two would try to take him.

                              Stevie is a 7th rounder, Colston is a 7th rounder, WR's are hard to guage and i think they are the most likely to bust out high. Unless you are getting a beast like calvin johnson, i think WR is a wasted spot unless all you need is a WR to be a great team.

                              bills aren't there yet. if they get this draft right, it's going to be minor tweaks and adjustments from here to make the difference between playoff team and legit contender.
