The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Watkins is the Bills’ 2014 first-round pick. And their 2015 first-round pick. And their 2015 fourth-round pick. Which means the Bills need Watkins to be nothing less than a star.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith reminded readers this morning, the Bills traded those three picks to move up in the first round and draft Watkins, a wide receiver from Clemson. Smith added: "They need him to be not just a solid player, but an outstanding player, a player who joins with quarterback EJ Manuel for a pass-catch combination that reminds Bills fans of Jim Kelly and Andre Reed. ..." No doubt about that. And Watkins is considered by some to be the best draft prospect at the position since the Lions drafted Calvin Johnson. From a fantasy football perspective, Manuel might be the limiting factor here. But if the goal was providing the second-year QB with the kind of talent needed to take the next step, mission accomplished. At a price. A very high price.
