    There aren't enough roster spots up for grabs.  That said a RB2 and a DB would be nice depth pieces. 

     

    According to who. First the Bills only have 66 guys on their roster right now on a preseason roster of 90.

     

    They need RB2 like you said, they could go TE to develop next year and release Knox, They could use cheap OL so they don't have to sign a guy like La'El Collins for depth, they currently don't have a 4th DE unless you include Kingsley Jonathan, they need a 4th LB to compete with Spector, they need 2 CBS right now, and they could use another Safety to compete, not to mention a punter.

     

    There are a lot of areas the Bills can improve the bottom of their roster specifically.

    I certainly think they are restocking with cheaper depth players and at this time of the draft they do have to consider BPA while also considering where players can make the team. 

     

    This is exactly what he's doing. I told people that I thought Buffalo would use most of their draft picks this year because they have to add cheap young players and start relying on them and it looks like that is exactly what Beane is doing. This team needs to start developing the bottom of their roster instead of signing vets to 1 year deals.

    Still wondering what prompted the Bills to spend so much time on Troy Franklin. They must have liked the film but couldn’t get past the measurables or off field work. 

     

    I've said this in two other threads. I think they liked him and then saw him at the combine and we're like woah this guy may not be what we thought. The sickness thing came out and the Bills probably had questions and brought him in for the private workout hoping that he would be a different player than the one they saw at the combine and he probably under performed in the private workout for them as well so the Bills decided to pass.

    so we met with Franklin a lot. question is why. Id really like to take a flier on him.


    My guess is the Bills had high interest before the combine and he flat out blew it as most of us know at the combine. 
     

    The Bills probably still liked him so they said maybe he had an off day so they set up the private workout with him to see if it was a 1 off. Then he probably stunk at the private workout and they dropped him down the board

    Who says it's gonna be downtown? 

    We don't have to worry about plowed streets in late April, though 


    I suppose they could do it in the new Stadium but they would probably prefer Canalside area. I think it’s a pipe dream at least until the new stadium is built 

  7. I’m not one of em. I said for months that he was the type of character profile they love and would consider drafting. He wasn’t my first choice but I totally get why they took him

    Wonder what they are gonna do with all that 5th round trash they have.  Hard to find anything close to a difference maker at that spot in the draft.  Pile them ALL up and trade for a player.

     

     


    As I said last night in a different thread, giving up a 4th and one 5th now will get you pretty far up the board. Basically if we gave up two 5ths we can pick first if the team wants to trade with us. 
     

    Beane is now in a power position to pretty much get whoever he wants in round 4 if he chooses. 
     

    He did say he would wait a little bit to see how the board was playing out though
