Bills GM Buddy Nix suggested that a "big time, outside receiver" will be high on the team's wish list in the 2013 draft.
Specifically, Nix is on the lookout for a big receiver who can make tough catches even when covered. Stevie Johnson isn't a true No. 1 receiver -- nor is he paid like one -- while Donald Jones and T.J. Graham leave a lot to be desired at the second and third spots. The Bills' first priority is to find a solution at quarterback.
The guys Nix should really target are Zach Ertz & Tyler Eifert. Use more sets with Spiller & Jackson on the field at the same time with two TEs and try to create mismatches with versatility. Spiller and a TE like Eifert would be tough covers for linebackers and having 2 TE & 2 RB in the game would allow for a physical running game if the other team plays extra DBs.
How many stupid remarks is Buddy Nix going to make in public about his team? First it was Fitzpatrick, who he deemed is not a "franchise" QB , after he paid him a ton of money. Now, Johnson, who is not a "big time" receiver. Nice morale building by running down your players. Franchise QB's and big time receivers are not merely picked off of trees on every corner, which is something that Nix should be aware of. I guess NOT.
