    I'm not drafting Leggette until late 2nd at the earliest with his one year of decent production. You're drafting traits more than skill at this point. He could end up being good but he's a higher risk than some of these guys. I would need to really do my homework on Leggette.

      Depends on what they envision Hollins' role will be. If he's viewed as a slot only, having him, Samuel and Shakir as slots isn't good use of resources. And typically a WR can't play outside because he's not strong enough to beat the jam at the LOS or doesn't have the speed to make CBs think twice about doing it. Samuel has 4.31 speed and no CB is pressing him.

        I no longer see Mocks where Thomas Jr is available at 28 so give me AD Mitchell

            Here’s some info that should bring you comfort. I have zero doubts that we’re still grabbing a stud 1 or 2.
            Te #Bills will have a private workout with Troy Franklin scheduled. Franklin, who was sick at the combine, impressed scouts and his pro day and weighed back in the mid-180s.

            Last year the Bills did a Private Workout with Zay Flowers, and did a Top 30 PreDraft visit with WRs
            Jordan Addison, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tank Dell, Jalin Hyatt and Justin Shorter.

            We ended up drafting Shorter in the 5th. Hopefully this year will be different.

              Hopefully Shorter gets every opportunity as well.

                That’s interesting. The first three were all gone in a run almost immediately before our selection …I wonder if they take one of them if they were still available over Kincaid? They probably thought Dell, Hyatt and Shorter were second tier guys not worth a first round pick.

                  I’m starting to believe a WR isn’t going to be the pick in the first. Fat guy is what I’m feeling.

                    If Jer’Zhan Newton’s on the board I would be tempted to take him over a WR. If we’re talking T’Vondre Sweat or any other fatty I would hope they get a trade down first.

                          ABSOLUTELY, you are invited to Vegas. Not my house, mind you, but yeah....we LOVE tourists here which keep the economy humming along.

                          We like to keep you all on the Strip where most locals hardly ever go.
