frogger Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 re-sign Levitre, He's never had any real history of injuries, so give him a long term contract, spead the money out. $$$$ McKelvin, I think he was much better in '12 than '11, that being said he will not get much attention, he would not be expensive. $$ McIntyre-heart of the special teams unit and good lead blocker $ Merriman- showed a little burst at the end, the hyprid will be needed. $ Sign Greg Jennings WR, there are reports suggesting he wants as much as 12 million a year, I can't see that happening he is almost 30 and coming off an injury.

Draft based on walterfootball.com's Mock 1-Geno Smith-This would be a good start to the draft, I rank him somewhere between Luck and Tannehill talant wise. you really can't argue with his numbers the last two years. They're just numbers why would you argue with them unless you are insane. 2-Manti "catfish" Ta'o, sure he isn't the fastest ILB in the draft, Burflict ran a horrible 40 time and he turned into a solid starter his rookie year. Ta'o is a safe pick here and solves a pressing need. 3-Khaseem Green OLB, Walter had us drafting Reed here, nothing against Reed, but LBs is more pressing, addressed TE with the signing of Watson. Greene is a Starter, Reed would be a 2nd TE or move TE 4-Vance McDonald TE, I know I said its not a position of need, But Vance can block better than Reed and gives us a 3rd TE with hands 5-Chase Thomas OLB-3 LBs in the draft, and all 3 might be our starters by years end. They had us drafting drafting Washington, I don't see that happening, his workout was fantastic. Thomas' wasn't. 6-Dustin Hopkins-FSU Kicker to go with our FSU punter, I think Lindell's time is almost up. any other positions will be addressed via late free agent pick ups. thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) No Manti and I'd rather go a hard push to get Kruger. Kruger paired with Landry coming in would be hard hitting. I would also like to see some solid vet middle of the road CB's come in for depth to support McKelvin.' Oh, and if we're going to go after Jennings and his big commanding salary I'd rather go after Bowe for half of that...

NewEra Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I just can't see us retaining Levitre and mckelvin (after giving Byrd at least 6.9 mill this year) while signing Jennings, devito, Landry and Watson. I'd love the draft. I'm happy with Te'o in rd 2. Even happier with Greene in 3, but I think it's doubtful he even makes it to us in rd 2. If your hopeful predictions come true, we'd have had a GREAT offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle flap Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I generally agree although that's a lot to ask for in FA. If it were up to me, I'd re-sign Levitre and McKelvin. Then sign Kruger. Those are the priorities. After that, I'd throw whatever's left at TE and/or DB. Then for the draft: 1. Dion Jordan 2. EJ Manuel 3. WR - Terrance Williams, Justin Hunter, or Da'Rick Rogers- one of them should be available 4. Nico Johnson ILB from Bama 5. TE, DB, or OL 6. TE, DB, or OL There are a number of late round guys that I'd take but too many to speculate on who'd be left. And yeah, cut Fitz. I actually like Fitz but I think they need a clean break. No restructuring. I don't like the idea of keeping him as the "former starter" if that's how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob16151 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Let me counter you here, In Free agency let Levitre walk.sign Chris Houston,re-sign McKelvin,sign Ramses Barden,sign Mike DeVito In the draft 1.Barkevious Mingo,a versataile athletic player that can line up in different spots in Pettines new defense. 2.Tyler Wilson QB Arkansas, he's a SEC guy with enough arm,and gives the Bills a legit QB prospect to develop. 3.Barret Jones C/OG Alabama. A big physical O lineman,and gives us an heir apparent to Woods 4.Marcus Davis WR Va Tech a big reciever with all the tools,well worth a shot at this point in the draft. Just my take on a possible Bills offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
