One of our possible targets declares

When I was asked if he'd make a Julio Jones or AJ Green impact and I waffled. Boy I'd like to have that one back.
 
Our luck he will end up with the Vikings. Can't wait to watch Greenwood one on one with him while Houston covers Patterson.
 
I think it's going to come down to who the Raiders, Bucs, Vikings, and Bills take. If all 4 pass on Watkins, then I think we can get him. What would you guys say the needs are of those 4 teams? I haven't researched it yet. Below is why I don't think the other teams before will take him.

Pick Record Team
1 2-14 Houston Texans-already have Hopkins and Johnson, have more pressing needs
2 3-13 Washington Redskins-not 100% sure, but I think they have more pressing needs
3 4-12 Jacksonville Jaguars-need a qb plus a bunch more
4 4-12 Cleveland Browns-need a qb
5 4-12 Oakland Raiders-who knows what the Raiders will do (who ever does?)
6 4-12 Atlanta Falcons-already have Roddy White and Julio Jones
7 4-12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
8 5-10-1 Minnesota Vikings
9 6-10 Buffalo Bills
10 7-9 Detroit Lions

Skins are the Rams pick, just took Austin. Unless they want to pull a Millen Lions.

For sure going ahead of Watkins at this point of the process is Bridgewater, Bortles, Clowney, Barr, Matthews...other than that hope for more quarterbacks. Not looking good. We would need to trade up.

I feel like the Vikings will have WR high on their list. What other team though do you think would take a WR that high?
 

Do you really think that with Stevie Johnson locked up for several years and having drafted Robert Woods (2nd round) and Marquise Goodwin (3rd round) in the 2013 draft that they'd take another WR in the 1st round this year?

Because of Doug Marrone and the way he wants his offense to be yes. Not a lock but a good chance. Too high for some of their other needs, like Clinton-Dix to replace Byrd if he leaves.
 
I would have pegged them with Kouandijo but he played himself out of the top ten and maybe the first against Striker.
 
He's getting pegged to the Bucs in a lot of drafts too.
 
Here is the first site I found when I Googled Bills draft 2014.

http://buffalowdown.com/2014/01/02/2014-buffalo-bills-mock-draft-round-1/

Watkins number 1.

I just looked at the same site. So it looks like he's definitely an option for them. I still would find it odd to take a WR in rounds 2&3 one year and then again in round 1 the following year. Sounds like a Millen thing to do. And based on other mocks that I've just checked Watkins is all over the board, even being taken by Cleveland and Tampa Bay.
 
Looking at other wideouts (I am convinced we won't sniff Watkins now) I may like Kelvin Benjamin second best and think he may be the next to go. Evans is so incredibly raw its not even funny.
