Well.. you have to figure that Star will be back.. that helps a lot.. but to be honest, I’d like to see another big fat NT to plug in next to him.. People forget that Pat Williams, Sam Adams and Ted Washington did get a fair amount of pass rush.. sometimes 3 or 4 sacks a year... that’s a lot better than what Ed Oliver has done.. DTs that post 10 sacks a year or more are unicorns.. gimme another hog to plug in next to Star and watch our run defense go into the top 5.. Draft a DE RD1 and see if Hughes is willing to take a 50% pay cut..

Don’t forget that Star Lotulelei will be back.. that will be a huge boon to our DL.. but of course we could use another hog to plug into that DL.. Dalvin Tomlinson in free agency would be a solid option.. dump Butler, Jefferson, Addison and Hughes.. draft a DE with that 1st pick and we’re cooking..

1. DE - Ideally a talented pass rusher falls into our laps with that first pick.. Someone we can plug into RDE opposite of AJ Epenesa whom I feel will be a talented pass rusher for us.. We’d have Daryl Johnson rotating in but would still be in dire need of depth.. will Jerry Hughes take a pay cut? 2. LB - Ideally you sign Milano to a one year prove it deal.. you decline Edmunds’ 5th year option and the two compete for an extension next year.. Draft a smart cerebral type of MLB who can play chess against some of the top QBs in the NFL.. Someone who can stop the run and get our defenses in the right formations.. 3. C/G - Feliciano can play either guard or center.. I think you dump Morse’s contract.. very expensive and he’s at risk of being permanently injured and out of the NFL.. We can get out of his contract in 2021 and we should do so.. Take the best interior OL prospect available here.. Draft even more depth later on.. (Still need: NT, return man/speed WR, CB, CB, more OL depth)

I hope he gets brought back.. I feel good about RCB with Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson over there.. I’m not saying we shouldn’t draft a few corners though.. If another Tre White caliber of corner is there at 28 though you take him.. wonder if Levi or Dane could take over for Taron Johnson as the slot corner..

He’ll fetch a 2nd I’m sure and I doubt they’d trade him to us nor I doubt Buffalo would give up that much capital for a backup.. gimme the worst backup QB in the NFL.. if Josh goes down, tank for high draft picks..

Of course they are.. Herbert in Miami would suck for us!

Imagine how Miami fans feel knowing they passed on Herbert!

I am just so happy that Miami drafted Tua and not Herbert.. Phew baby.. dodged a bullet there..

We can only hope..

That poor guy.. 😨

Obviously you’d like to have Ford.. I think at this point you’d hope that he can become a good starter at guard.. The talent is there, he’s under contract for 2 more years and he’s making $1.3M/yr.. Think at this point you leave him there and hope the light comes on.. Feliciano goes to RG —which is typically your best run blocking guard.. Next year however I think Feliciano may go to center because I think Morse will be out of here.. too much money.. too many concussions.. we’ll see where we go in the draft/FA...

Hughes and Addison can stay if they take a 50% pay cut.. Regardless.. if you dump Hughes, Addison, Butler, Jefferson and Morse then all of a sudden our salary situation isn’t in such a sorry state.. Our DL is our highest paid unit and also one of the biggest underperformers... Could maybe add a few mid level free agents with that money (Dalvin Tomlinson, NT)(Jon Feliciano, G)(Daryl Williams, RT)(Levi Wallace, CB) etc... Keep our OL intact.. money leftover for Allen next year.. Spend a high pick on DE & MLB and we’re cooking.. Bump Feliciano to center and draft a guard.. cap situation is well taken care of..

We could really use a hog at DE, no doubt.. maybe even so much that we spend our 1st pick on one..Would like a NT too but with Star coming back we could probably wait till the 3rd or 4th round for one.. but yeah, I think Epenesa is going to be a player, if you spend a first on a RE, that DL may have some juice.. maybe go MLB RD2, bump Edmunds into Milano’s old spot... golden.. That whole DL needs one big salary dump...

Me neither.. that’d be great. I actually think Dane and Levi are not bad, not bad at all.. but we need a slot corner in the worst way.. additional depth wouldn’t be bad though on the outside.. hopefully we add at least two corners..

Edmunds has hope as an OLB.. I just don’t think he has the brains to win chess matches against QBs.. if we had a smart, instinctive MLB, preferably a thumper that can put Edmunds in the right spots, he could do very well..

Especially on defense... it’s so important.. I don’t even care what position he plays, get me an absolute dog on defense..

It would take so many players and draft picks for me to trade Josh Allen that no GM would take it.. They’d have no resources left to build even a halfway decent team around him..

You’re kidding right? I think Poyer and Tre Day are a lot more important to this D than Jerry...

It’s our OL that’s the problem.. Both Singletary and Moss are legit backs.. They’re not getting touches because our OL can’t run block.. If you truly want to have a run game you build up the OL.. I’d rather have an OL so efficient that you can plug anyone in and they’ll get 1,000 yards.. RB is a position that you should never pay big money to nor draft high.. They get hurt too often.. If you truly wanted to build our offense you draft a center with that first pick.. right now we’re picking around 28 (perfect spot to draft a really high end/elite center prospect..), then maybe add a guard somewhere RDs 2-3... I can understand that approach if we wanted to build a high power offense.. TE is definitely a need.. we could use a nice prospect there but traditionally good TEs have been found all throughout the draft.. Gates, Waller, Kittle, Kelce, Graham, Andrews and Witten.. So basically what I’m saying is that you can find a good TE usually in the third round, sometimes later.. Taking them in the 1st-2nd is pretty hit or miss... I think if Buffalo truly wanted to be a team on par with the Kansas City’s and Baltimore Ravens of the world, you draft a center with that first pick, go defense and maybe spend a mid round pick on a solid TE prospect and maybe add one in free agency.. But yes, that OL needs a jolt, as does our defense.. but yes, 75% of our draft should be defense.. It would be great if we could trade some players away for more picks.. Need a center, tight end, return man/WR, LB, NT, CB and DE.. see what happens..

You should really start using the search function more before you start threads.. I’m sure this topic has already been discussed.

Should be interesting.. You’d think Winston would get the nod.. but Payton gets to watch the two in practice every day so who knows?

Think it’s the OL — not the RBs.. I’d argue that drafting a center would be more important than a TE.. Doubt Mitch Morse is here next year and Feliciano is a better guard than a center.. 1st - Center 2nd - MLB 3rd - NT There’s other needs on defense.. I certainly feel you draft a few corners and a safety as well... but I’m higher on Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson than most.. Think if we added a true MLB to pair with Edmunds and Klein we’d be fine... Klein is not going anywhere, his contract is such that there’s no way out.. Milano I’d let walk unless he comes back on a cheap prove it deal... At NT/DT I’m relieved to know that Star is coming back.. but we could use another NT to plug in next to him.. Could use a Ted Washington/Pat Williams style DT to pair with him and I think our running woes would be gone.. Then there’s FB and TE — which I think is highly relevant to our lack of running game.. No FB this year has hurt us.. Poor blocking out of our TEs hurt us.. Lee Smith should see more playing time as a result of that reality.. He’s probably our best run blocker out of all the TEs.. Knox hasn’t provided much as a blocker nor as a receiver.. maybe activate Sweeney at this point.. I could see TE being addressed somewhere in the draft and free agency.. I like the idea of running three TE sets and pounding the ball the way San Fran does.. So I would encourage Beane to add TEs who can really block well.. WR — Could definitely use another one.. perhaps a speed guy in the mold of Mecole Hardman.. An elite return man who can stretch the field vertically.. an heir to replace Brown one day perhaps? Don’t think we have as many holes as people think.. but we definitely need to draft very well in 2021 if we want to have a shot at a Championship next year..

Could be a myriad of reasons for that.. injuries, better matchups vs that team per se but not against others, clever game planning that masked lesser talent, surprise etc.. I don’t think New England was prepared for the Bills to run the ball.. I think they expected more of an aerial attack.. Their packages weren’t aimed at stopping the run but to stop the pass.. Think a few spots on our OL need to be upgraded before we experience more consistent success.. Maybe going without a FB was detrimental to our run game? Maybe we need better blocking from our WRs and TEs too? Regardless, the Bills rely on the pass to establish the run... and not the run to establish the pass.. Which can be a problem for a play action QB like Allen.. think in order to be a juggernaut, we must do both.. I do think Singletary and Moss are both very good backs.. I don’t think they’re the problem at all..

Well.. we haven’t done it consistently.. here we are 10 games into the season and we still haven’t got anything on the ground going at all.. Singletary and Moss combined are still well short of a 1,000 yards.. Feel like if it were going to happen it’d have happened by now..

I think with a run game Josh would be even more deadly.. Josh is one of the best play action QBs in the league yet we have no running game.. Don’t think we have the personnel to be a good run team yet.. OL needs to be retooled, could use better blocking out of our TEs and could maybe benefit from adding a stud FB.. we’ll see..
