Rob has broken it down perfectly:

Great prospect. In the 2nd round I like Josh Doctson if he's there. He's not the ideal build for a possession receiver either be he has an amazing ability to grab the ball with guys draped all over him. He's deceptively smooth and getting separation as well. It's possible that he's not available in the 2nd but Doctson would be a fantastic add as a #2.

I'm a Notre Dame fan and Will Fuller is a great player that I'd love to see in a Bills uniform.

That being said, drafting another WR high shows why this team never improves. We drafted Robert Woods in the second 3 years ago. The following year, we spent TWO first round draft picks on Watkins, and we signed Percy Harvin. That's a lot of limited resources being devoted to a position where we still need to improve.

Yup.

However, that is what many fans want and it sells hope and thus tickets.

There are very few of us who wish they would draft OL early and often to fill those 5 starting positions.

All true. The problem is Woods isn't good enough to be a legit #2, he is a #3 at best.
Harvin is a legit #2 but is a nut case and who really knows what you can expect from him.

This team badly needs a #2 because Watkins is the real deal and he will be getting even more coverage attention next year.

It is a need.

We devoted some 2nd day picks on OL, Miller and Cyrus, but neither have shown NFL starter potential. Miller is still young, but he had a rough season, Cyrus is a bust. OL early is nice, but it won't matter if we keep missing on them with our grades. That's the problem, we can't scout OL to save our lives. Woods and Glenn are the only homegrown guys that have started more than two seasons.

Well drafting and grades has been a problem for almost 20 yrs now, but it has improved the last couple of years imo.

1st rd. has to be an ot or dl.

Do you watch games? Miller is legit starter. He performed well beyond any rookie expectations.

I agree we could use a better RT.

[DraftBoy]

My biggest issue with Fuller is that he's not a natural hands catcher. He double catches a lot of balls and will drop some passes that he should have no issue catching. That being said he's a guy who runs solid routes, has speed to burn, and is a big play waiting to happen. I would love to see him in a Bills uniform because I think he'd be a good addition for Taylor's deep ball.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Harvin is gone this year, no question. That was a one year contract disguised as a three year contract for cap purposes.

That said, Watkins, Woods, Hogan, Clay, and McCoy are a sufficient pass catching corps for the moment. We need to build our OL. Hopefully OLeary or Lewis show something this year.

Your expectations were low, I thought he was poor, with occasional signs of life. The good thing is, he's a rookie, still time to develop, I'm not writing him off just yet.

Edit: I think we have to upgrade from Hogan, not a fan. Let Woods play the Hogan roll and upgrade at the other receiver spot. Doesn't mean we have to go in on receiver early, would prefer we focus on the defensive front 7.

[YardRat]

Harvin is not, and never again will be a 'legit' #2...he's a gadget player whose value as a 'legit #2' stayed in Minnesota when he left.

[Bill Cody]

Another shiny toy. You notice NE never drafts WR in the 1st round. I would be opposed to this.

[Mahdi]

Players like this can be found later in the draft.

We need to revamp the DL.

As it is now before FA, we need 3 new starters in the front 7. 5-tech DE, NT, OLB.

2 out of our first 3 picks should be front 7.

[Joe Fo Sho]

If you would have told me last year that this is who we should draft this year I would have told you to go pound salt.

Have to agree. There should still be a couple decent wr's left later. I think they need some blue collar talent and need to avoid skill positions at least the first couple rounds if not longer. Would be good to see them get a Ryan type safety also, because I don't think Aaron is going to be durable. An OT would be good, but I see Whaley married to Seantrelrus Koundjenderson.

Yup. We need offensive line since Tyrod isn't all that great at getting rid of the ball fast. He's going to need time to throw to receivers we anyways.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I like De'Runnya Wilson in the 4th or 5th. Maybe Cayleb Jones in the 6th.

Henderson would be fine but he may not be able to play football. He has the talent. Kujo is a bust.

I like both those guys in the mid/late rds. Like Pharoah Cooper also somewhere in those rds.
