When isolating the position from everything else, the Bills could easily be considered as having the best WRs in the AFC East. They haven't had a legitimate #2 receiver in years...now they have two number ones. Then you have Josh Reed put back into the slot where he belongs and can do the most damage. Parrish is good for some game-changing plays throughout the season. Steve Johnson has shown promise, and James Hardy is a huge dude, and he could finally learn the playbook and step up this year. He could be big in the red zone. The versatility and depth is there all the way across the board. Not only that, but all three running backs on the Bills can catch the ball well; in fact, they lead the league in running back catches last year. Lynch had 47 catches, Jackson had 37. Now the Bills have picked up Dominic Rhodes, who had 45 catches as RB last year. Also, many people feel that the Bills got one of the bigger steals in the draft by picking up Shawn Nelson at TE in round four.
Bringing in T.O. was huge for the Bills. All teams had to do last year was double-cover Evans, and the Bills' passing game was already half beat. Then teams could just stack eight men in the box to stop the run. Now the offense is wide open, with possible mismatches all over the place. You can't double-cover Owens and Evans on every play, and you can't totally focus on stopping the run nearly as much. Having Owens and Evans should take pressure off every other receiver, not to mention the running game. Rumor has it that the Bills are going to go with the no-huddle a lot this season, which can cause some stress on opposing defenses.
I'd say that the biggest issue with the Bills offense is not the QB, but the line. They'll have two rookies manning the Guard spots and a new free agent pickup at Center. The only two projected starting o-lineman that were on the team last year are playing different positions than last year. Walker will most likely be at LT after playing RT, and Butler will be playing RT after playing RG. So each position on the line will see a new guy playing when compared to last year.
