Apparently Gabe Davis is absolutely slaying it.

(frank)in 4th round receiver, Big Baller Beane doin his thing.

My hope from the day he was drafted was that Davis would make the fanbase forget the name "Duke Williams". I don't have anything against Williams, other than that the fanbase thinks he's better than he really is.

Agreed, Duke is a solid 6/7. I have 0 issues never hearing him get over hyped again

I couldn't agree more. I'm so sick of hearing about Duke Williams and Christian Wade.

Raise your (frank)ing standards.

Christ I feel like I'm sitting on Hockeybuzz dot com and people are pining for Dalton Smith to get called up.

I get it, it's just entirely different from the original point.

Botterill wasn't good. 90% of GM's suck.

At least 30% of the attraction of Duke is yelling "duuuuke"

Yeah he probably would have been a 2nd round pick in a normal WR class. Great WRs can be found anywhere in the draft, Andre Reed 4th round (I think), Stef Diggs 5th round, Stevie Johnson 7th round

For sure. Which is why it was mind bending that Dougie traded two 1sts for one.

I saw a lot of evaluators have 2nd round grades on him. I know it was deep, but you'd think a guy with 2nd round talent would be picked before the late 4th round.

Cover1 wrote this about him in May. His analysis is on par with his camp performance.

Duke will be practice squaded. Barring a trade or an injury, it'll be at the expense of another position, but I think the Bills keep 7 Wrs: Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Roberts, Davis, Hodgins (whos also having a great training camp and wouldn't make it to the PS) and McKenzie. I think McKenzie could be cut if they find another WR to do the jet screen (Diggs??).

I think Bass has already won the kicker job. People see his 5-7 yesterday as not great but, he made all kicks under 50 (consistency has been his ?), barely missed a 54 then badly missed a 54. Hauske's $$ and struggles at over 50 will cost him.

Anyone can do it in practice / in gym shorts. We need to see a real game

That’s why in fantasy football this year is going to be tough. Reports like that. “Hey this guy looks good”

Then the real bullets start firing and they suck

They should, unfortunately we don't live in fantasy land. People already female dog about taxes, imagine if we said we wanted to expand police forces by 20% so they can have enough time off to recharge and train?
