You know i've been thinking a lot about this upcomming draft/season and I believe apart from drafting a QB/WR/RB at #8 we cant really lose. I am trying to look at this not as a Bills fan but rather a fan of of football and general.
Now there is a chance we draft Davis at 8, probably a better then average chance. I just dont worry much about our WR situation, there isnt a year that goes by some RB or WR has a monster breakout year. I agree the OL/DL should be a priority but this is one of the deepest "line" years ever. And we will still get a starter in round 2 maybe even round 3.
There are only a handful of teams in the NFL that successfully utilize a pass-catching TE. And most of them do quite well with it. If our ST unit stays on form, and our defense plays even close to its ability a big athletic TE like Davis in a 2 TE set with Royal throwing blocks could be huge. We will likely run a somewhat conservative offense, attempting to do what probably should have been done last year.
Heavy ground game, short passes, and a big-time TE.
What if the first 3 rounds went like this:
1. TE
2. DT
3. OT
3. OT/OG
