I went with WR.

 

Safety and DE look like the biggest weak spots on paper right now, but both are potentially only one player away from looking solid. WR isn't looking great at the moment either and could need a complete overhaul soon if/when Sammy leaves in FA.

C'mon, it's definitely safety. Hyde is a very good player. After that, lots of luck. Hopefully the Bills are just waiting out Graham and/or Byrd.

 

TE is fine with Clay and O'Leary (much improved) and DiMarco who will play the blocking TE role with some nice prospects behind them....as long as Clay stays healthy that is. Signing Barnidge would be nice insurance.

 

WR is fine as long as Watkins plays most of the year. Jones, Holmes, Brown, and Streater are all capable contributors.

 

DE is fine if you consider that Alexander will be used as a pass rushing specialist in obvious passing situations. Hughes, Lawson, Alexander, and R. Davis are the main guys. After that it's a crapshoot. The Bills have high hopes for Seymour. Wright and Coleman could be pleasant surprises.

 

This team still needs to add some players. Staying healthy is the key to making the playoffs.

Safety ... Hyde will be a star and I think Poyer will be fine. Colt Anderson is a special teams player and I've never heard of Shamiel Gary until we signed him. For f**** sake, re-sign Corey Graham to be the backup, he's certainly better than both of the backups we have.

 

TE ... This spot is 2nd on the list because of Clay's Knees. As far as backing him up, I believe the only reason O'leary was kept around last year was because Rex wanted to go golfing with his grandpa. We have no legitimate backup plan ... Sign Barnidge !!!

DE.. but I love our starters. See Shaq having a big year!

Was suprised how good LB looked when the names are right there together.

I went with safety, but te would also have worked. If there was a poll for strongest spot it would be FB

Fb or ol in general

I don't understand why so many are down on TE. Clay is a stud. O'Leary clearly showed progression and the ability to be a quality #2.. Sure it gets dark after him but we only dress 3 max on gameday... TE is just fine imo..

I went safety because of the depth. I think that they have 1 starter there. TE is equally thin but you play multiple S more than multiple TE. They have some injuries that they can't afford (Tyrod, Shady, Clay, a DE, Hyde) but they at least are starters. I'm not sure Poyer is starting caliber and there is very little behind him.

A stud with a trick knee... He goes down, and then what? -Run McCoy into the ground until HE gets hurt?... People are calling for 10 wins, but for the life of me I cannot see how...

Yeah, the Bills will have to stay really healthy for that to be the case. I'm not sure that they can win a game without Tyrod or Shady. It's not realistic to think that those guys both play 16 games. If by some chance they play 8, for example, the Bills record could be really bad.

I went with TE. If Clay goes down (which is definitely concerning because of his knee issues) then we have almost no one left. O'Leary is still a question mark, and the only other experienced TE is Wes Saxton.

That's a good forecast for the season, if they stay unusually healthy the team is actually talented. If they suffer an average amount of injuries they are easily in the bottom third of the league due to lack of depth.

 

I hope with Beane and McBaldy they have much more discipline on draft day and round out this roster with some depth.

Where is the option "I can't know what to think until I see them play?"

 

 

Edit: I know least about safeties, and what the scheme needs defenders to do and I hope the running scheme takes a hard look at what worked last year even if it's not their scheme. But we need too see them play.

I know what most everyone knows what i say. So i will make it official.

 

QB is and will always be until you finally have a long term answer there

 

But the level of talent between our starter and the rest of the QBs is nearly equal. We're shallow to begin with, so it's not a depth issue.
