So is this really a strong draft for DL (DE and DT) or is that the other positions on offense and defense are just very weak (which elevates the DL class)? Also wondering how some of these WRs would compare (and where would they be drafted) in the supposedly strong WR draft group from last year. Would Golden, McMillan and Egbuka (likely the top three WRs in this year's draft other than maybe Hunter) have had first round grades in the 2024 draft? Would they have had a higher grade than Coleman?

Rasul Douglas Wants to Stay in Buffalo
jahnyc replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
RD may be the best remaining veteran CB option for us given his familiarity with our defense and the lack of quality free agents still available. I have my doubts that a rookie CB would be more effective in the first year in our defense, so I am all for re-signing Douglas. I also don't think that Dane Jackson should be considered as a legitimate option for CB2. Hopefully, last year was an aberration for RD and he will have a better year, but I also understand that the inevitable decline due to age and other factors may have happened with him last season. -
If there are not a lot of first round grades on players in the draft, this may be the year to use one of our second round picks to move up to get a player that has a first round grade and can make an immediate contribution.

Surprised about the comments regarding the safety position. I would have thought this was a significant need, but their comments suggest otherwise. If Douglas does not come back then the two biggest needs will be CB and DT (1T). If the Bills draft another RB with a relatively high draft pick, I think it will be an indication of their view on the prospects of being able re-sign Cook. I think the draft will look something like CB, DT, DE, OG and RB with the first five picks.

Way better than I would have expected, especially after Stingley's new contract and what he would have received on the open market as a free agent.
-
Something that many are not focused on is a potential need at guard/center. Given that McGovern and Edwards are free agents after this season (and Torrence after next season), I would not be surprised if we draft at least one guard/center in April. Not sure if SGVP will be starting caliber and I don't think we have any guard prospects currently on the roster.
-
This is not a strong CB group in this year's draft. Given this and in general, counting on a first round or second round CB pick to be an effective starter in his first year seems unrealistic (see, e.g., Elam). We will need a veteran to fill this hole, and it is not Jackson.

Titans released Chidobe Awuzie (CB). Is he any good? 29 years old and played for the Bengals and Cowboys before the Titans.

Joey Bosa signs with Buffalo. 1 year, $12.6 million

The guy seems refreshingly genuine. Doesn't seem to have the entitled star attitude. -
Hoecht and Ogunjobi 6 game suspension for PEDs
jahnyc replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was really happy with re-signing our own players before the start of free agency, but free agency for the Bills has been a real downer. I guess we will never know who we wanted to sign, but, other than Bosa, I am not seeing a lot of help coming from this group. Palmer did not put up good numbers in his years with the Chargers to warrant the deal that he received, Hoecht will not be available for the first six games of the season, Ogunjobi is not the defensive lineman we need to be the middle anchor of the D-line and also will be suspended for the first six games, Jackson is not an adequate starter or back-up, and we really have not addressed significant needs at CB or safety. I like Beane, but this is a really bad look for the Bills and in particular Beane. -
While it made sense to trade Elam, I am not a fan of re-signing Jackson and it is disappointing that we have no real upgrades to our secondary at this point of free agency (safeties and CBs). I don't think the draft can be counted on to improve our situation (Elam as an example). I recall Jackson being targeted often when he was with the Bills and we don't have the kind of safeties that will be able to help mask his play.
-
Kind of surprised that we haven't upgraded the secondary, and the safety position specifically, at this point of free agency. I know it is early, but our secondary was bad last season and worse now since we are down a starting level CB opposite Benford. Still have a need at DT and this is supposedly a strong draft at DT, so it would be disappointing if we need to use our first round pick on a CB who may or may not be ready to start from day one.
-
I have not seen any rumors around Douglas or Cooper, which is interesting. I can't see us going into the season without a veteran starter at CB opposite Benford, and it can't be Elam. Don't we also need a free safety? Aren't Bishop and Rapp strong safeties?
-
Wonder if we are looking at trades. Maybe Alexander (CB) from Green Bay?
-
I am sure the Bills were in on many of the free agents that signed elsewhere yesterday. For most free agents, it was about money and team location, not about being on the cusp of the Super Bowl. Older veterans that have made a lot of money may have a different view at this point of their careers.
