Kirby Jackson Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 While I don't agree that this will be the way that it looks opening day, I think it is worth looking at. IMO, number 2 RB, a depth corner and safety are still needs. This assumes the LBs that they drafted can play. Thoughts??http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/buf
Canuck204 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I would agree with all of that. I think we could use a LB that has coverage abilities and has started in the league before. Here's who I'd be targeting as added depth: RB: Ronnie Hillman LB: Sio Moore CB: Alterraun Verner S: Jairus Byrd
34-78-83 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Not too worried about #2 Rb as long as JW fixes his fumbling problem and then add in Tolbert of course. Beyond that I'd agree that we need one more guy each at Safety and Corner, Last, I'd like to see a better option at backup DE brought in. Not sure what's out there right now...
TPS Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks, as I was just about to look for their depth chart--already tired of the Whaley firing...
BillsFan3434 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Pretty spot on. Only two corrections I would make is1.) I don't think Preston would sit behind Humber. Although I'm sure we'll be in nickel on 2nd and 3rd downs so Seymour will probably be on the field more often than either of them. and 2.) The QB depth chart is probably going to be different on whom you ask. I don't think Yates will make the cut. I'm also not sure if CJ will make the cut, especially second string. He was brought in by the prior administration and not too sure he fits the mold of Dennison's offense (not that TT does either). Hopefully they tailor it to better fit TT. Videos I've seen though, I would say Peterman is almost more mobile than CJ. thoughts?
Kelly the Dog Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I also think we need a veteran coverage LB desperately. A backup safety with range and experience. Another TE. Another decent backup LB. And a backup edge rusher. A few of those should be easy to fill with cuts. We need to spend the money saved by letting Gillislee go on a solid LB, in the Zach Brown or Lorax pickup.

Yea, I wouldn't assume we get anything from the drafted LBs.

Thoughts??http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/buf I think we got a real good #2 RB in the making with Williams, I think he's the future here once McCoy is done.
Kirby Jackson Posted May 1, 2017 Author Posted May 1, 2017 I think we got a real good #2 RB in the making with Williams, I think he's the future here once McCoy is done. Maybe it's me but I'm not seeing it (and I liked him coming in last year). His feet look slow to me.
YoloinOhio Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I would agree with all of that. I think we could use a LB that has coverage abilities and has started in the league before. Here's who I'd be targeting as added depth: RB: Ronnie Hillman LB: Sio Moore CB: Alterraun Verner S: Jairus Byrd Hillman played for Dennison, no?
The Frankish Reich Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I would agree with all of that. I think we could use a LB that has coverage abilities and has started in the league before. Here's who I'd be targeting as added depth: RB: Ronnie Hillman LB: Sio Moore CB: Alterraun Verner S: Jairus Byrd Ronnie Hillman is a great idea, particularly since he kind of duplicates McCoy's skill set - outside running ability, works well as a receiver - although obviously at a lower level. The Broncos regret letting him walk last year...
K D Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I think we got a real good #2 RB in the making with Williams, I think he's the future here once McCoy is done. You are the only one that thinks that after watching him play. Good back in college but zero success last year. Didn't even dress most games
Canuck204 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Ronnie Hillman is a great idea, particularly since he kind of duplicates McCoy's skill set - outside running ability, works well as a receiver - although obviously at a lower level. The Broncos regret letting him walk last year... I think if McCoy went down a combination of Williams/Hillman would be able to step in and do a decent job.

Videos I've seen though, I would say Peterman is almost more mobile than CJ. thoughts? Preston will play but doesn't have the athleticism to stay on the field at wlb. Yates not only will make the team, he might be the starter by the end of the year. He knows the offense
JerseyBills Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I would agree with all of that. I think we could use a LB that has coverage abilities and has started in the league before. Here's who I'd be targeting as added depth: RB: Ronnie Hillman LB: Sio Moore CB: Alterraun Verner S: Jairus Byrd Ragland, despite the talk that he's slow, can cover , trust me, his instincts and quickness will make him a good coverage LB. Preston was great find coverage in his 1 year in the 43..The 2 rookies both sound like they can cover as well, though they may need some time. RB I definitely don't see as an issue. We added a bunch. Got J Williams as well. Safety scares me a BIT but you can't have every positional group filled with quality talent. Overall, I like what I see,
stuvian Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I must have been asleep when we picked up those new name DBs at safety. I was quite surprised we a didn't address the position in the draft. Is this position more or less secured with these acquisitions? Not exactly household names
K D Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 There were rumblings that we haven't fully closed the door on Aaron Williams yet. He wants to play. He could come back on an incentivized prove it deal
bigK14094 Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I think we got a real good #2 RB in the making with Williams, I think he's the future here once McCoy is done. I saw Williams last year....he is no McCoy...by any stretch anyhow. He looked plodding to me, a power back but not quick. Don't see a backup to Shady on the roster myself. I don't want to ever see J Byrd on the field here again....he is slow, slow, slow............he would be the second coming of Drayton Florence Edited May 1, 2017 by bigK14094

Clyde Smith Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I wonder how many gems we can find in the UDFA, you never know who will step up and fill a need.
