I'm expecting this might happen in a certain position every year. Core is getting set and competitive teams with QBs signed have to go through it. Beane needs to hit on his DL picks next time around for sure.

McDermott got his late round DB.

They are not getting executed. Let's see how Jones and Settle play this season. Another in next years draft and an UFA and it's full. Next year is next year and I'm quite sure Beane can read a roster.

I totally agree. Take a flyer on this guy. Could be a Division II sleeper.

This last pick is solidifying my belief that Bates is being highly considered to replace Morse next year. Morse doesn't need to take all the 1st team snaps in camp and some should go to Bates plus all the 2nd team snaps. If Bates is the plan, he needs lots of reps at Center. Broeker with his versatility would be in competition with Ike. I am NOT going to criticize good competition on the OL.

Good chance Houston's 6th will be near the top of the round.

Agree. It's tight for 6th rounders to make this team's 53. Vorhees as a red shirt would maybe leave a spot for Ojomo.

Is it true the Bills interviewed him? There are 5 locked WRs so he seems to have the inside track for the 6th spot among the Reserve/Futures guys and some UDFAs. It will be fun seeing if the big man can tune-up his weaknesses.

Definitely not thinking that this season.

I have mentioned that this is a possibility to be the base D. It seems to me that other teams have figured out how to often beat the constant nickel. If Taron Johnson's role is diminished there could be a chance he gets moved in the future. His cap hit for a part time nickel could be questioned. With the Safeties and LBs on the team it is a logical assumption something may be changing in the base D. I'm patient enough to wait to see what happens with these players and their roles.

Cody was a RT. He couldn't do that and couldn't move to RG. I see your "athletic" point, but Torrence is a full-time natural RG. Let's see what an NFL camp will do with him.

Um? Plug and Play at RG.

Thank you. I don't see the comparison at all.

Actually, I think he will hang it up next year. IF Bates is heir apparent, they had to have talked to Josh about his thoughts. Then again, Bates could end up being the "odd man out" as starter. Either way, if Bates is going to be a C he needs a lot of work at it to really learn setting the blocking and other C duties. He has played a lot less games at C than fans think.

Morse will be let go for cap reasons next season. Bates needs work at C with the 2nd team. IMO.

I have to think Bates will move to Center with this pick. Maybe as soon as next season.

I got to think that the Torrence pick is a pre-cursor to get Bates ready to take over for Morse next season.

I love the pre-pick commercials. Builds the suspense!

Cowboys pick a TE! LOL!

In a perfect world I agree. Things will be tight for the Bills from now on. Still a chance Morse plays next season. That would give a year to learn.

Bills need to draft a top Center next year.

He'll be a Bill soon, right?

I liked him.

OK I'm ready! I'm ready to watch who the Bills pick and 5% of the board post 100 times why Beane sucks! LFG!

I want to thank all the posters who had interesting takes about our new rookie TE and links to informative sources. This is why I come on this board! As to "enabling" a poster who clearly doesn't like the pick, all I can say is I wish you guys would refuse to be baited. This is my least favorite part of this board.
