no more midgets!

 

for all the fans desperate to run the ball,

why add another midget WR that offers nothing as a blocker

 

not to mention will get mugged by press cover CBs

 

better plan is to invest that high pick in a big TE that can block, catch and run

A few draft stats:

 

Fewest Top 100 picks: 49ers (1)

Cherry picking stats. I almost feel sorry for the Niners. Almost.
San Francisco's seven compensatory selections include three extra third-round picks (Nos. 99, 101 and 102) as part of the league's initiative for organizations developing minority candidates who become head coaches or general managers with other teams.
Total 10 picks.

Yeah, that's one of those stories that though true really give a false picture of their status this draft.

Run more, pass less

Due to weakness of 2023 draft for WRs, better target for Bills at #27 is likely to be a TE.

Also the loss of Tommy Sweeney mandates new blood that can actually be a threat,

 

My preference is Washington, who would greatly improve the blocking and allow Bills to use Knox downfield.

Washington can run and catch as well, making the 2 TE set a dynamic formation - which is not possible with midget gadget guys

Top end TE talent is extremely deep in this draft, and none of them supplant Knox as TE1.

 

TE1 is not a need. Plenty of NFL caliber TE’s available on Day 2.

Of those 45 picks, 23 may still be on the team, but a total of 39 are still in the league (as of the end of 2022.)

And one of those other 6 would've still been in the league if not for a really dumb lawyer overplaying his hand.

Wonder how he’s doing. What a shame - all around.

That is some list...

It seems like a lot of the better WR in this draft are smaller in stature... (those expected to go rounds 1 and 2)

A lot of sub 6'0" guys, and those cracking 6'0" - 6'1" are 185 or under.

 

Good season to find a slot WR, which I think Buffalo needs.

Curious what happens with Davis and Trent Sherfield.

Trying to temper my draft expectations based on what is available.

Ok saw people mock draft wide receiver.   That is last thing on my list. Offensive line, running back, another pass rusher, inside linebacker, and safety all come before another receiver in my mind. What good is taking another reciever if Josh under pressure all the time. He needs time and someone take load off on the running game. Strengthen o-line will help strengthen protection. Also, need another pass rusher and safety for future.
