Another Greg Norman? Well, we got nuthin' at outside CB after Tre. I don't think he's the answer, but we're desperate. We do need to upgrade CB3 after we draft a CB in the 1st.

I'd be fine taking a RB in this draft after we draft a CB and a RG. We do need better depth. I'm not at all enamored with anyone in our RB room after Singletary. We're in trouble if he goes down or we can't fix the right side of our OL.

Why is CB a short term need? Other than White, there is no outside CB worthy of a starting job on our roster. I'd much rather roll with Davis and Crowder than have Davis' snaps cut yet again and a cavernous hole at CB that teams can exploit. Besides, who is going to replace a 1st round CB in our starting lineup? Jackson? I can't imagine that. Besides, a 1st round CB has a much better chance of starting than a WR with Davis, Diggs, McKenzie and Crowder on the payroll.

Seriously. People are worrying about replacing Singletary who played well last year. Meanwhile we haven't got 1 starting calibur OL to the right of Morse. Go figure.

Camp body. I hope he never has to see the field in any game that counts. Bates is bad, but Mancz is still worse. If we don't seriously upgrade the right side of our OL, we could get Josh killed back there.

Camp body. I'd rather have a 3rd or 4th round pick out there as Singletary's backup.

It seems like he would be out of reach. I don't expect to see him in Bills blue. Still, I have to wonder if a 1 year prove it deal might be tempting. The Chargers released him and he's still out there. He's been pretty banged up these past 2 years, but if we showed him just a little love, it might sway his loyalty if he can get back into playing shape. We certainly could use him if he ever returns to form. Maybe he'd move inside if Brown becomes starter-worthy. Right now, I see the entire right side of the OL as a huge question mark. I know we couldn't afford to pay him as well as the Chargers did, but you never know. If a couple recent draft picks become solid players, we could go with more rookie contracts and save enough to keep one more solid (healthy?) veteran OL. How crazy is that idea? I don't see it happening, but Beane has certainly surprised us before. It's a nice thought anyways.

Bezos football? God help us.

Beane takes a bit of a gamble and picks Kyler Gordon -- A redshirt sophmore CB from the Washington Huskies. The draftniks will hate it more than Rousseau. Very high ceiling, but a risk. Great tackler -- Runs through ball cariers. He is scheme versatile and has great short area burst. I think Frazier and McDermott could maybe make him a probowler. He also has studied dancing and Kung Fu. Just a wild guess. I read that he's projected to go late 1st or early 2nd. It looks like there is good value at CB in this range of picks.

PFF has this FA signing rated among their top 10 FA moves this offseason. They think we got a steal. I hope they are right.

He wasn't all bad, but he had a HUGE swing and miss with EJ Manuel. That was his downfall. If he's drafted Russel Wilson, he might still be working as a GM. Most of his 1st round picks underperformed. His day 2 and 3 picks were OK as were his FA moves for the most part. Still, you HAVE to nail those 1st rounders to be successful.

Why do we need a thread for a backup caliber IOL? It's not like he can't be easily replaced on day 3 of the draft.

CB. No question. I'd be ok with a WR in round 2 or OL or RB, but definitely CB in the 1st. I've been saying that since Wallace became a starter. Unless something changes...

I agree completely. Also, Saffold doesn't suck at pass protection. Bates isn't better at anything. That's ridiculous. Saffold is average there and a mauler in the run game. Brown still has a very long way to go and I wouldn't mind resigning Williams for a year and drafting or signing another OT. If Brown does become worthy of a starting role at some point in the future, someone moves inside. Right now I view Brown as a liability.

That's weird because I heard some guy in a podcast say 12-14 months. I feel better now.

If he can play Cb, ok. We got nothing at CB until...

While everyone is talking about RB's and WR's, has anyone noticed that the top CB still standing is a former 7th round pick that is well below average for a CB. Jackson has done well just to stick on an NFL roster this long, but do we really want a starting tandem of Neal/Jackson week 1? That thought really scares me. I don't want either of those guys taking even 3% of the defensive snaps. I'm sure Beane is working on it, but the situation is severe. That would be far and away the worst starting outside CB's anywhere. Do we draft a CB on day 1? I sure hope so, but that won't be anywhere near enough. We need to address this now. I don't think having 2 rookies starting at outside CB is the answer either. We also don't know when White will be ready, but it will be December at the earliest, I would guess. We also don't know if White will need time to fully recover or IF he will fully recover. I suspect he'll be his old self befotr too long. Put yourself in Beane's seat. What moves would you be trying to pull off that are realistic? I'm looking at the Panthers CB stable and I could see a better CB than Levi shaking loose. Can we afford that? I also like Kyler Gordon, but I don't really follow college football. I know he's scheme versatile and a great tackler. Great short area burst. You thoughts?

What are people getting their panties tied in a knot over? He'd be the bakcup and as good a mentor as Josh could hope for. People aren't being rational about this. Look at the quality at QB2 on most rosters. Pretty ugly, huh? Fitz is still better than most of those guys if healthy and a great off field presence. I know this is going out on a limb, but could he be a player/QB Coach? Hea's certainly got the smarts and experience. He might even be a great playcaller if Dorsey is struggling. Just a thought.

Hughes, Addison, Beasley, Lotulelei, Breida, Sanders, Klein, Phillips, Trubisky, Feliciano and a surprise or 2? So we will have to draft a CB, WR, HB and any other holes that open up. I still think Will Dissly, a 265 lb TE would be a great, inexpensive add as a blocking TE for those late season games and big 4th quarter leads. Howard is a decent blocker too. I can't wait to see him healthy. We could be looking at a lot more 2TE formations.

Of course there will be even more pressure with Miller on board (Pun intended). That's part of the job. I think this team and its staff will respond with our best season yet. The real question is, is Dorsey a good playcaller? He should pay Chan to consult on how to set up his plays to catch defenses off guard. Hit 'em where they ain't. OK. I'm half-kidding.

He could start for several teams. I'm not sure he'd want to play 2nd fiddle to Knox though. He'd be a great addition for the right price. Just add a blocking TE and we're set.

No thanks to either. Phillips isn't that good and Jones... Well, I don't know what he has left.

I have no problem with this. He was a moderate upgrade from Moss and Breida, but still a #2. He would have been our 3rd down back, but he can be replaced easily enough. I'd rather have a big back for late season home games.

I hope he wins the starting job. He's better than many Bills fans will admit, but still not a franchise QB by a fair amount.

We badly needed an upgrade opposite White and Jackson was awful too. The Panthers have 3 pretty decent CB's behind Gilmore. Jackson would be a great addition.
