Jmsbills Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 As of now we have 7 picks and no pick in the 1st Round. So QB is out of the questions unless we get lucky. But GUARDS are our most pressing need. They are usually not 1st Round picks anyways - so lets go with GUARD, GUARD , GUARD and maybe GUARD again. Then DB's - because you never have enough BD's. I would look at the OL and nothing else for the first three or picks - college tackles who can play guard, maybe not as quick enough to play tackle in the NFL but big and strong enough to play Guard. Maybe even a Center who could play Guard or a Center who could step in and start and move E. Wood to guard. We all agree that our Defense is good enough to win Championships - and without a "Franchise QB" within our realistic reach - the only possible solution to improve is to upgrade the OL. I look at Cameron Erving at FSU ( a projected possible 1st Round Tackle ) moved to center after 4 games and maybe playing his best football. There are guys out there who fit our needs - it's time for the scouting department and Doug W. to get it done.
Not at the table Karlos Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 We need 2 guards and a qb. I would take 2 of each.
Pirate Angel Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 We need 2 guards and a qb. I would take 2 of each. if we can get one quality starting guard we would be fine..urbick is serviceable. The likeliness of upgrading both guard spots will be difficult
Max997 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 why is QB out of the question with no first round pick? How many QBs have we seen drafted after the first round in recent years turn into better players then the ones drafted in the first round? DE will also be a need with the expected loss of Hughes
mannc Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Didn't we just draft three offensive linemen (including a GUARD) last year? Why do we have do do it again?
Dorkington Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Didn't we just draft three offensive linemen (including a GUARD) last year? Why do we have do do it again? Because only one of them is showing any promise so far.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 OL and TE either via draft or FA CBF
MarkAF43 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I say we go after a Guard, a TE, perhaps a running back later in the draft,a QB prospect if there is a decent one hanging around, possibly another DB and maybe 1 or 2 DL and a WR
Kirby Jackson Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I'll tell you what we don't need is a TE (sarcasm font). The Bills TEs are atrocious and in the same league as the guards. I would try to sign Hughes, Spiller and a QB that hits the market. I would also target someone like Clint Boling in FA. I would then draft the best OG and TE in rounds 2-3 (in no particular order). I'm always amazed on here that people are outraged by the guard play but accepting of the TE play. Both positions stink.
bisonbrigade Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Running back is needed, Fred Jackson is old, Spiller is expensive and Booby and Brice are back ups. Also need to draft at least two guard prospects. Stay away from QB's in the draft. If you feel the urge to get a QB, get a free agent. Keep EJ Manuel still hope there.

I will almost guarantee that he will make less next year than he did this year. The Bills desperately need his playmaking ability. If they are going to play close defensive games his ability to take it the distance is crucial IMO. If he made 1 big play the other day that game made end differently.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Some notable free agent TE's next year... I would be dissapointed if we dont land one of the following players Jermaine Gresham Jacob Tamme Owen Daniels Robert Housler Jordan Cameron Charles Clay Julius Thomas Niles Paul Larry Donnell Chase Coffman Zach Miller CBF Edited December 9, 2014 by Canadian Bills Fan
26CornerBlitz Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Kouandjio better be a starter at RG next season.

The Bills would have to work a deal with the Rams.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I would love Bradford for a few years CBF
26CornerBlitz Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 The Rams are almost certain to cut him free because of his cap number. Likely, but they might try to work a trade before they cut him and I imagine that teams would be interested.

The Rams are almost certain to cut him free because of his cap number. Indeed...his cap number balloons to over $17M at the start of the new league year. He wants an extension, not a renegotiated contract, which I believe the Rams are pushing for...very likely he hits the UFA market.
Wayne Cubed Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 The Rams are almost certain to cut him free because of his cap number. They would owe him something like $13MM and his cap hit is something like $16MM, they could save the $13MM if they cut ties with him. No one will trade for him for the $13MM.
