We don’t need a number one receiver…says Beanie Baby

[sahlensguy]

Huh? He throws that kind of a ball all the time.

Josh isn't the cerebral thrower with touch who throws the ball to a spot that where wr can change direction to and to where the DB can not. Josh is a power thrower. Aaron Rodgers he is not.

I didn’t say the draft pick had to be the big splash, just that he needed one. I can absolutely see Beane thinking we’re close and going all in to try and get Nabers. I wouldn’t like it, but it fits his mentality.

Unfortunately, I believe you are correct.

[Woodman]

Unfortunately, I believe you are correct.

Wow that would cost us a ton .... never put nothing past Beaner.

Way too much and we need to fill more that a few other positions, at least for quality depth!

100% agreed!

Please make this your best draft Beanie.

[Saratoga Slim]

Lets be honest.

The last time the Bills had a legit #1 receiver, it was Eric Moulds.

We are way overdue.

KC won two SBS because of their quarterback's ability to vamp on the run, plus they have the best TE in football.

Josh is a traditional pocket passer who needs a deep threat.

Josh is a traditional pocket passer?????

Yes he’s a mobile pocket passer. Duh, what have you been watching?

[YardRat]

Well you could interpret it that way, but that's not what he meant. There are a few teams that have 2 legit No. 1's. Of courze there aren't too many of them.

San Fran with Deebo and now Ayuk (at present);
Tampa
Miami
Philly
The Chargers did with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams

Again, he said "ideally" or a word to that effect.

I think it's exactly what he meant..."What this offense needs are guys that are smart, versatile, selfless, and can make the plays that their skillsets allow them to make."
That doesn't scream traditional "#1 receiver" to anybody.

I like the idea of not getting a vet #1 for high dollar and then have him double-teamed or otherwise schemed into nothing.

Get a rotation of speedsters with hands and rotate them so that the D doesn't have a clue who's gunna do wut.

That's just me, a jamo with a keyboard, but trading for Jefferspin or whomever just doesn't seem right. Get two good picks and maybe watch the wire or UDFAs. See if sukie can still run.

Sukie can definitely run. Back and forth from the buffet table.

[Historian]

putting somebody who barely saw the field in offensive sets like Mike Mosley with Woods, Reed, Piccone, etc is an insult to the other guys.

I disagree.

Mosley had good speed, soft hands, and made some spectacular catches for us whenever called upon.

Unfortunately he couldn't stay healthy. (knees I believe)

I always thought Byron Franklin was pretty special too.

Production should be the benchmark, not potential or physical attributes.

I met Mosley during training camp his rookie season...kind of. He was pretty hammered sitting propped up against a wall on a barstool. I straightened out one of his beers so he wasn't spilling it.

Amen to historian. Diggs is not a #1 receivers. Beane himself used words carefully that Diggs filled the #1 wr role when he got to Buffalo, not that he is the true #1 receiver in Buffalo. An argument can made that Davis in the last 2 years is used more like a #1 receiver, out snapped Diggs , running more boundary routes. More of the “using your size” kind of targets. Both Samuel and Shakir are projected to be in Diggs role.

+1

Diggs (mostly) totally crappy performances in the Bills' playoffs deem him to not be a true #1 WR.

His 100% awful, terrible ****ty performance in the Bills' playoff losses during his time here made him more like a poor #4 WR, barely hanging on to a roster spot.
