Who Will be the Number 2?



A good time of year to do some debating ..... a lot of the Bills starters seem to be pretty well set but without a doubt the biggest question for me at least is who is going to emerge as the number 2 wideout

Clearly Stevie is your number 1 and I see David Nelson as more of a slot WR personally than a number 2 but he is still a vital part of our offense

So here is my opinion about our best options for the number 2:

Marcus Easley - 4th round pick from 09 who has suffered significant injuries preventing him from playing a single down the last two years .... last years injury tho was more of a freak thing than a football related injury .... looked good in camp last year and has all the tools you want ... good size 6'2 220 and good speed 4.4 40 but can he stay healthy and no experience in any actual games are issues

Donald Jones - won the number 2 job last year and had a nice 100 yard game against NE .... struggled in other games though as he had trouble separating from CBs .... he also suffered through injuries last year missing most of the year .... Jones also has pretty good speed .... ran a 4.46 40 .... how will he come back this year ... can he improve from last year

TJ Graham - rookie WR .... definitely seems a bit raw as a route runner and will have a lot to work on but seems to be very explosive player with tremendous speed as well .... 4.3-4.4 40 ..... can really stretch the field but often times rookie WRs really struggle early on to have much success

Derek Hagan - a mid season pickup last year when so many guys were lost to injury ... probably a long shot to be the number 2 but I know I was pretty impressed by his play over the last 4 weeks of the season ... I definitely wouldn't count him out .... at the very least he is good depth for us

These are the guys who I view as the most likely guys to be the number 2 .... feel free to put other names in if you feel someone else should be included or pick David Nelson if you feel he should be thought of as the number 2

As for my opinion, I have a strong feeling about Easley .... just my own gut but I think he is going to emerge as the number 2 and have a good year ... 50-60 catches 800-900 yards and 5-7 td's
