Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
The Bills OL looks like it's probably this after the cutdown.
Dawkins, McGovern, Morse, Torrence, Brown are the starters.
Edwards, Bates, Van Demak, Anderson depth.
All this speculation was started with articles like this. Then after the draft when Beane came aboard it started again.
I remember it well.

Raiding the cupboard: Former Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, now the head coach of the Buffalo Bills, wasn’t here when Carolina set its draft board. But it certainly felt like it. The Bills selected East Carolina wide receiver Zay Jones three picks ahead of the Panthers at the top of the second round, then traded to move one spot ahead of the Panthers at the end of the second to take Temple guard Dion Dawkins. Both were on Carolina’s draft board and potential targets in this round. It could make the conversation fun before these teams meet in Week 2 at Carolina.
With the young guys on the 53 the PS will need some replacement talent. I know Kelly is an old guy, but Beane has to get 2 OTs I would guess,
from somewhere else.
The thing is Beane is biting the bullet to keep the best players on the team. Boogie was not one of them.
Miller, Floyd, Rousseau, Epenesa and Lawson are all better. Heck, I think Jonathan Kingsley is better than Boogie.
How many DE's do they need? Someone had to go, and I think the worse one was traded.
You take your medicine with a bad pick and move forward.
Beane and his scouts know the blew that pick. Hope they learned their lesson.
Looking back is worthless IMO.
To keep that thread clean I'll comment here.
I'm wondering if Dean Marlowe makes it to the PS.
The RB PS spot is a tough choice. I can make an argument for Evans and Johnson.
I have always believed that in pass protection the advantage is to the guy making the moves to get around another guy.
It's always been that way. In run blocking the OL has a bit of an advantage knowing what their job is going forward.
The passing game has enough advantage as it is IMO. It's just the way it is.
For anyone wanting to track. I'm using Spotrac but it's always a little slower than the X world.
If anyone hears of trades today it be great to have the posted here.

How did the Chiefs get a 2025 7th rounder from Carolina for WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette? LOL.
Miami trades G Dan Feeney to the Bears for a 6th is interesting.
Player swap RB Pierre Strong NE for CLE T Tyrone Wheatley Jr.
I had to look up Strong's numbers. I remember his Monday night game against the Cardinals where he was great.
Seems that is all he did last year.
