If you blew this team up, what 7 players would you keep?

[Cotton Fitzsimmons]

You are GM... you must blow up this team and start over. You can keep 7 players off this list to build around, who do you keep? This is a difficult one... think about it. The results should be interesting.

[JÂy RÛßeÒ]

Left off McKelvin, not sure if intentional or not

My apologies. I will include write in votes in the final tally for any significant omissions.

I'd add Kyle Williams too

Let the RECORD state: 1 vote for McKelvin... 1 vote for Kyle Williams!

The first player I thought of keeping was williams.... But I would keep McGee, Florence, and Corner before I kept McKelvin. Maybe thats just me. There are more than 7 players worth keeping too, like Hangartner I would keep as a backup, and I would keep Maybin if I couldnt trade him just because he is still a rookie.

[Buffalo Destroyers!]

Jackson

Puz

Byrd

Moorman

Wood

Mitchell

McGee

 

Other than those seven, the rest of the team is worth jack ****,,,,

Ahhh yes Thoner... you are correct. And that is the very essence of this exercise. When tough choices have to be made, who are the absolute best, most impactful players on this roster?

 

LET THE RECORD STATE: 2 Votes for "REAL DEAL" Kyle Williams

 

Will Chris "THE STREET HAMMER" Draft get any write ins? Only time will tell...

[Beerball]

I voted for 6 and choose McCargo as my write in candidate.

 

Good question Ye!

[Metal Man]

I would think Bell is worth holding on to for a little longer to see if he can develop into something better too.

Either that or more rookies on the line with the blown-up team so may as well keep the young guys together who have some time under their belts just to see if they improve.

And I am sure all Bills fans are really hoping they all do because I can't imagine going through this all over again next season.

[Chalkie Gerzowski]

Byrd, Freddie, Eric Wood, Levitre and Posluszny

 

two to add... Nic Harris and Reggie Corner

Addressing the team as a whole, I would cut everyone, with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions (Moorman, Jackson & maybe Stoud), over 25 yrs old. The only guys I would sign in FA that are over 25 are on the OL, specifically LT & C...Maybe a LB with a few good years left in the tank for some vet leadership on the D...

[BrooklynBills]

Andy Levitre

Eric Wood

Aaron Maybin

Leodis McKelvin

Jairius Byrd

Lee Evans

Donte Whitner

 

 

I like Stroud but I don't think he has many years left.

[Erik Flowers]

I would only keep two players; Moorman and Stroud. The rest of this crew are too entrenched in a culture of losing. Get rid of all the losers!!!

Yea he McFumbled that one didn't he?

Your statement makes no sense. I would keep Moorman without a doubt, but he has been here longer than anyone on the roster, so if anyone is entrenched in this culture of losing it would be him?

[SuperKillerRobots]

I think the problem with the list is that you have too many rookies from this year's class. Everyone drafted in this past year is most likely going to survive a regime change (or at least all of the top guys - Maybin, Byrd, Wood, and Levitre), so I don't think they're valid players to put on the list. I also don't see how you build anything around a punter or kicker, so though they might stay, you aren't really building anything with them.

 

Outside of them you have about 11 players that are worth consideration:

 

Evans

Lynch

Edwards

Jackson

McGee

Poz

Whitner

Stroud

Schobel

McKelvin

Williams

 

And maybe in a stretch:

 

Kelsey

Reed

 

Of all of the above 13 players, all the players I'd like to see stay are primarily on defense. I'd bet that Evans and the RBs at least would make it through a regime change however.

 

The more I look at these types of posts, the more I am starting to realize that I kind of like the defense and would really like it with a little more talent.

Make it one more for each.

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

Butler is missing of the list I like him for OL with Levitre, Wood and Him in the middle. This provides a good OL building block that is Required to win in the NFL

 

McKelvin and Byrd are playmakers

 

Stroud because need a solid DT

 

Freddie - need a RB

 

Moorman - I hate to try to find a proven punter for WNY weather

 

Sorry I need to keep at least 8 guys and in reality if I was GM I think I might be able to find 20 guys on the roster I want to keep, some as starters and some as key special teams players, Ya need special teamers but also need to have depth problem is some of our special teamers arent providing us the depth we need.
