I see us adding a veteran corner sometime before the regular season. Richard Sherman is plan b, they’re hoping a quality corner becomes available during training camp or via roster cut trim downs. Tight end is obviously another position that could use to be upgraded. Here’s the thing, Dawson Knox is a guy who can be more than adequate if things click for him, so I don’t think we exactly need a guy like Zach Ertz, although I think he would be highly sought after by the Bills if the opportunity presented itself. Regardless, I think another veteran will be added here as well, even if it’s just an average joe to pair up with Dawson. Bills could also use another 1T. Harrison Phillips is a guy whom they may think can provide some decent depth behind Star, but ultimately, that’s a wildcard. Could happen, may not, but if an obvious upgrade were to present itself here, the Bills will likely add depth and competition for training camp/preseason. So basically I see the Bills eyeing trimmings from the rest of the NFL to provide depth at these positions. They don’t necessarily have to be starters, just competent players to add depth to the mix.

Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers
ghostwriter replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Your language is strong at the end, but the message behind your post I largely agree with. One ring with Rodgers as your QB? One ring with Favre as your QB? C’mon man. The way they build their team is really underwhelming. One would argue that if Rodgers played for New England he would probably have 4-5 rings, maybe not as many as Brady but still, this guy is great. Green Bay has gotten very lucky with QBs over the years, if it weren’t for that they would look a lot like the drought year teams in Buffalo. -
I believe another corner will be added. Could easily create space by dumping Addison and Butler provided if we don’t somehow end up with Ertz.

Boogie with 9. -
No CB in Draft? — No Problem or No, Problem?
ghostwriter replied to RJ (not THAT RJ)'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think a good option will be available as teams start to trim their roster. I also feel the same about TE. We’re not done at those two positions. -
I think they keep Obada over Addison. Also, I’m pretty sure we can free up some coin if we cut Addison. Boogie and Rousseau need those reps anyhow. Keep Hughes around as the veteran guy in the locker room. Hopefully by the end of the year Hughes is just a rotational guy and not a starter and he can provide a boost in key moments. Phillips vs Butler vs Zimmer should be a heck of a dog fight. Butler is likely the most talented, but if there is very little drop off between Harry and Zimmer, releasing Butler can free up money for maybe a guy like Zach Ertz or if a good corner shakes free during TC/preseason cuts. So I guess, in closing, there’s two guys who can free up a substantial amount of money if released and that’s Butler and Addison. You could add Jerry Hughes to that list but he is highly respected within the organization and he could not only be a great mentor to Rousseau and Boogie but a really darn good rotational guy by the end of the year. If at all possible I hope Daryl Johnson and Justin Zimmer go straight to the PS. These two guys are great depth if someone goes down. Like both of them as developmental guys. As far as the rest of the roster, especially at TE and CB, I don’t think we’re done here. I expect at least 1 or 2 more additions here.

Is Jerry Hughes a future Wall of Famer?

Good player, not a great one. -
Let's revisit and grade 2017 draft
ghostwriter replied to No_Matter_What's topic in The Stadium Wall
Blame or no blame, the fate of McD is the same as Beane’s. Mahomes was an extremely attractive QB in that draft, he had just about everything you’d ever want in a QB. Once again, McD passed on a sure fire 1st ballot HOF at QB for a meager 1st round pick. I will admit however that I’m glad we ended up with Josh Allen and not Mahomes. Very risky situation though. We had no QB and a great one was available. We got the best QB in the 2018 Draft, but he was the third one taken, that’s pretty darn lucky dude. That could have ended disastrously bad. If we picked one QB in that draft not named Josh Allen, that whole situation would have been one of the most crushing blunders in Bills history, even worst than passing on Orakpo for Maybin or taking Mike Williams over Bryant McKinnie or trading Daryl Lamonica to the Raiders combined. Huge bullet dodged. -
Let's revisit and grade 2017 draft
ghostwriter replied to No_Matter_What's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes. Although Beane was not the GM at the time, had he whiffed on Josh Allen and say took the “Right Josh”, his career as a GM would be chopped liver. McD really lucked out in that regard. It’s not common that you pass on a top 2-3 QB only to draft a different top 2-3 QB a year later. Passing on Mahomes could have destroyed McD/Beane’s career for sure. -

ghostwriter replied to No_Matter_What's topic in The Stadium Wall
B Although we got three really good starters, we passed on Mahomes. I understand we have Josh Allen who is a top 2-3 QB, but it was a risky move. Not to toot my own horn, but I wanted Mahomes that year. It worked out in the end though, but had we not landed Josh, this could have been a career ender for McD/Beane. -
I think he has a quick first step, good leverage and turns speed into power. High effort guy, nasty kind of guy who can play every spot on the DL. Problem I had is I liked him so much I thought he would have been worthy of our first pick. Very solid production at Wake Forest, I liked that a lot, a lot more than someone like that Oweh kid from PSU who had zero sacks.

Justin Fields confirms epilepsy rumor
ghostwriter replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If anything, I think this would effect him long term.. Epilepsy + CTE? Yikes.. -
I like how you say drafting is an inexact science. It’s cool to have opinions, but boy o boy some of these draft gurus are so full of themselves it’s so annoying. I don’t mean to exalt myself because really, I’ve missed on some picks as well, I mean horribly at times but there’s 2 players I felt really strongly about over the years: Josh Allen and Carlos Basham. At times I felt like certain posters here wanted to tar and feather me for liking these guys. I don’t know, the draft should be fun.

Best 5 Offensive Lineman Could Be Interesting
ghostwriter replied to All I Need is Hope's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe a good one shakes free during training camp/preseason cuts? -
Best 5 Offensive Lineman Could Be Interesting
ghostwriter replied to All I Need is Hope's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All it takes is one injury and Brown will be inserted into the lineup. He’s a beast, he can play on the left or the right side. Clearly he needs to be developed, but physically, athletically it’s all there. Seems to have enough bend, as does Doyle. Brown will likely see playing time this year, although will likely not be a full time starter, at least not yet, but in the future, most likely so. Doyle will most likely be a swing tackle/backup. I mean, before the draft we had Bobby Hart, that’s bad news if you’re a Bills fan and Dawkins or Williams goes down. Especially with Williams injury history. Most likely Brown is being groomed to take over on the right side. -
Bills 2021 Draft - Overall Assessment
ghostwriter replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, I mean training camp cuts, preseason etc. Could you imagine if Buffalo lands Ertz because he is a cap casualty in Philly? Or if a quality corner shakes free as well? I think there’s a great chance of both these things happening. -

Bills 2021 Draft - Overall Assessment
ghostwriter replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Boogie should not have been there at 61. I don’t think Bills fans realize what they’re getting. Crazy value. Some mocks had him in the early to mid 20s. Obviously Rousseau was a huge steal at 30 as well. Notice right after Rousseau, two DEs came right off the board? Unreal value. Both were BPA. Buffalo is straight at DE for the next 5-7 years. -
Bills 2021 Draft - Overall Assessment
ghostwriter replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Let’s reevaluate after the June 1st cuts. I think Ertz is still in play as well. I could see a corner, a TE and a 1T somewhere along the way, at least before Week 1. Preseason will roll along, there will be cuts when teams trim down and so on so forth. It’s not like we have a ton of holes at this point. -
Zach Ertz about to be traded? [Edit: or Not]
ghostwriter replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If he is cut though, boy that would be an amazing pickup.
