Although he initially talks bad about our WR corps in the QB section, upon reviewing Lee Evans stats, he changes his opinion. He considers Evans an excellent deep threat. Evans actually led the league in yards per attempt. Due to his speed, teams were only able to get good/tight coverage on him 27% of the time. Hopefully, the opportunity lost (73% of those times) will not be lost with JP. He goes on to say that if Losman pans out, Evans could have a probowl year.

For Moulds, he says he has the talent to be a gamebreaking receiver, but non-existant TE threats and previous QB pass rush issues have held him back for many a year - as well as buffalo weather.

Reed is slammed in virtually every way. Reeds' completion rate would apparently have him ranked last even on TE charts! And the penalties he committed answer the question on why the Bills drafted Parrish.

Parrish is young and inexperienced and he doesn't expect much from him this year.

This could be Sam Aiken's year to step up.

That would be nice, but the Football Scientist mentions him briefly in saying that if he can't beat Reed out, he must really be a sad case. Reed was horrible last year - the stats were terrible with dropped passes and he committed many penalties on top of that.

Parrish is a rookie and unknown, but if it's true that Eric King said that out of all the WRs (including Moulds and Evans) Parrish was the hardest to cover, I will be very happy to see what he can bring to the game!!!
