Well, as we all know everything is backwards in Euroland so now we have firm proof that Kas is in the wrong.

What is Buffalo doing?

Honest to fucking god. How are the 9'ers doing this shit?! First Boldin and now this. Stevie is an elite WR for a 4th rounder maybe a 3rd rounder.
Arrington played like 10 snaps at DE and was pretty elite. So I say we don't call him a DB anymore.
not paying attention to the Browns. Manziel will consume that team.

Been spending the afternoon watching some OBJ tape.

Though the offensive line needs to be addressed, its really hard not to like this pick. Reese got himself a faster and healthier version of Hakeem Nicks. I've read some reactions from Giants fans and the media bitching about taking a 5'11 receiver with the 12th pick but reality has to set in sometime, right?
He's an inch shorter than Hakeem
He jumped 2.5 inches higher than Hakeem on his vert
He ran an official 4.4 to Hakeem 4.6
Hakeem played faster on the field than that 40 time, IMO and Beckham plays bigger than his size would lead you to believe. He's pretty spectacular at grabbing throws at their high point and is already a pretty polished route runner.
Curious to see if the Giants use him as a punt/kick returner considering how many of those guys we signed in the offseason.

Do they have 18 picks next year, too? The 9er's are going to cut a lot of decent players during training camp.

BOOOOOOO good niners trade

Brandon Boykin got a sack 2 years ago so I think he should be an OLB from now on.

Wow that's a weird trade for the Bills. Took a 10 million dead money hit as well.

9ers should have a great WR group next year, Stevie, Crabby, and Boldin are all really good. It is definitely put up or shut up time for Kap.

Yeah, Stevie was never going to work out in Buffalo. Glad we got something for him at least. I'll miss his entertaining Twitter account.
What's your wish list for the Bills at Pick 41?
Seems like most people are projecting Tight End. But do we go with Austin Seferian-Jenkins (potential, visited)? Jace Amaro (best 2013, didn't visit)? Or Troy Niklas (best all-around TE with run blocking ability that Chandler lacks, visited)?
Or do they go with a borderline first-round grade right tackle candidate like Cyrus Kouandjio (doubtful he slips past Washington at 34), Joel Bitonio or Morgan Moses?
Clears cap space, adds picks for a rebuilding team, they have faith Robert Woods will make the leap next year, they're a run-heavy team anyway. It's definitely not a great move, but I don't think it's as bad as Ravens shipping out Boldin for a 6th. Bills have a nice collection of receivers with potential.
I don't like.

Eagles are gonna draft Niklas to be a WR and fill the hole left by DJax.
Kaep will be able to throw to Stevie, Carbcakes, Boldin, and Vernon Davis. Meanwhile Russ will be throwing to Baldwin, Kearse, and whatever 4th rounder WR they draft lullzzzzz*
*This takes into account the certainty that Rice and Percy are injured
I'm not worried. We seemed to do alright against the best WR group in the league last season.
I want Amaro.
Hope Steve kills it with the Niners, he's a good run blocker too. Wouldn't have made the move myself but it's best for both parties. No use keeping him if you're going to minimize his role and just cut the following season. Did right by him to be honest. Love Steve.

Doug Baldwin is the MVP of your receiving corps. Dude deserves more respect.
I agree with the Amaro call. Makes the most sense if the Bills are in "win now" mode.I want Amaro.

also if nothing else stevie has made my madden team stronger! despite the fact that, much like kap, i am a 1 read passer. but stevie could be that read!

Why are they trading a pick next year for him? They need to unload some of the ones they have this year. Well I guess they can always trade a 4th this year for one next year or something.
Sherman won't match up with him, but he'll give that secondary trouble, you want to come up and press, come get some, because he'll shake you off like a wet dog shakes off water.

here is a vid of stevie absolutely working sherman one on one
I watched him a lot at LSU games. He made some ridiculous catches when Zach would freak out and throw a duck. Every now and then Eli throws those too and Odell will make up for that a lot of times.
Everyone gets beat once in a while. And every QB on the Bills' roster is better than Kaep!
Watkins will be a tough cover as well, but I am definitely happy Johnson is out of the division. I'm sure he would have given Revis trouble as always.

I know you repping your boy Sherman, but Stevie is amazing. Revis couldn't cover him to save his life and I believe Stevie will do the same to Sherman. I love the guy.
...dat music, though...
Revis couldn't cover him because Revis is overrated as fuck.

supposedly the pats offered a straight up 3rd round pick this year for stevie and the bills said no thanks. can't really blame them there... i get that you want max value but i don't believe in trading players within the division. especially someone like stevie

Nah, Revis couldn't cover him because Stevie is that good. I pray to the baby Jezus that Stevie wrecks Dick's shit up next season.
BILLS PLS! What have we ever done to you guys?! I would have loved Stevie, even if he wanted North Korea to nuke Foxborough.
