Donovan Peoples Jones seems like a perfect fit for the Bills in round 2.

Michigan WR doesn’t have the numbers because of crappy QB play but has huge upside.

I feel like the late 1st to early 3rd round WR they all are kinda interchangeable

I completely agree.

I got criticized for saying josh throws a nice deep ball.

It's the lack of accuracy for sure. I think part of it, is making sure it's not picked off.

22 games into his career, hopefully he can work on it.


Super fast, super tall receiver would help?

I feel he has very little touch on the deep ball reminds me of the jamarcuss russels of the world doesn't matter how hard you throw if you can be accurate with it.

my $.02....

They need to package Mitts and whatever else it takes to get a #2 center in here. I really dont think Mitts will be anything in this league at all.

Dude is invisible literally every night. Lockport Larry has more points (10) and a +5 then Mitts (9) (-4) does in 2 less games. that should NEVER happen.

Really don't want to give up on him. Think he deserves an entire season in Rochester.
of course, if the right trade came along, I'd include him, but I'd say the same about anyone on this team outside of Jack Dahlin.

He needs to go down to Rochester at this point and play big minutes. Put him on PP1 and play him with Tage and hopefully they win a Calder cup.

Could pay huge dividends for us down the road.

Receivers generally take 3 years to develop or break thru, I think the Bill's "window" started this past September.

Although , someone keeps mentioning real football doesn't start until November

Funny, I was just talking about jamarcus Russell and his "purple drank"

I think josh can work on his touch.
I'm a pro- allen fan.

I find the list of guys who improve their accuracy on deep balls as time goes on to not be a very long list.

Right around the same time Josh Allen took the step in his development.

It takes a WR one year to get fully acclimated.

Courtland could only run a Go Route last year, this year i wouldn’t move him for any other WR in the AFC.

Yikes,
Pens fan cannot wait to get rid of GAlly.

They want nothing of value.

"A signed Sheary" jersey and he is yours.

Maybe not the guy the Sabres want.

Does fit JB's bill though. a buy low candidate.

Sending him down will ruin him. He should have been down there the last 2 years.
he is soft. IMO he will never be more then a 3 line guy and that's all well and good, but I am pretty sure the Sabres see him as the #2 guy of the future. I am no GM or anything, I have just seen his type before..

I think he’s a top 6 winger fully developed. The lack of top end speed restricts him from playing Center.

Also important to remember how bad the Sabres have been since drafting Eichel.

Since 2016:

GF - 26th
GF/P - 27th
SA/G - 28th
SAT% - 24th
Win% - 31st

Eichel has 301pts in 317gp IN SPITE of this team.

He's a superstar talent.

the other 22 guys are that bad over the years

Win Laine no question
BUf Reinhardt
FLA- Barkov I mean hes had some talent with him
Col Landeskog that first year i cant recall but Mack cam e in the next year
Bos Seguin Had a good roster

If Eichel had a line mate half as much as the others it would be crazy how many points they would have,

Either it's completely untrue...or it's an addiction. They have taped these "Do Your Job" segments in the past. That said, if you're going to do that to spy on a team, are you really going to risk it over a 1-win Bengals team?
