BuffaloFan68 Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 I still think we will end up trading Tyrod before we draft.
CuddyDark Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Boundary Corner. Big like the Vikings corner. 6'1 or taller. DT. OG. DE. LB. RB. QB.

At this point though that would be a surprise considering the pass rush struggles of the team. It would be a big surprise to see Tyrod gone and a really, really big surprise to see Shady our after this year. I’d say that the likeliest scenario is at least 3 of them being back. Hughes gives nearly as many yards as he takes with his ratio of sacks to 15 yard penalties, and that is not the type of undisciplined football McD wants to play, so given his Cap hit, I would be (and probably will be) more surprised if they bring him back at the same pay. And yes, pass rush struggles are real, but the Draft and FA can go a long way in helping that, and not sacrifice penalty yards. Again, what good does it do to sack a QB for -7 yards but two plays later give up the automatic 1st down plus 15 more?? As for Tyrod, he was / is the best option they had. But for $18 million in Cap money, they can do a lot of things to bring in good, quality players and Draft their own QB at a significant fraction of the cost plus he doesn't really do what they want a QB to do: stay in pocket, be accurate, do quick hits in a WC style Offense and be tall enough to see the field clearly. But, we shall see.... As for Shady...he's been dynamic when blocking is there, and he's been a truly good character for the team. But, and it's a huge a*s but, he is hitting the magical wall of 30 and at a pretty hefty price....so, I think Beane and McD identify an early round RB to be their bell-cow, say late 1st to late 2nd round, and go with him at a reduced cost. Again, that same RB money can be used for Offensive line help and LB help, which they will desperately need. I can see them signing Preston Brown and EJ Gaines because of their relative age to productivity to cost ratio. Not that it matters, but I did say Sammy would be traded, I did say I didn't see Dareus back next year via trade or release (and got laughed at for it), I did say Gilmore wasn't coming back, I did say I didn't think Gillisilee would be a priority for them, and that there is a "type" of player at each position McD and Beane want....look closely enough, you'll see Tyrod doesn't fit the mold and neither does Shady. They're the best they have / had when they arrived. But given their contract status and now with multiple Draft picks and good amount of money to be free, i don't think they can justify bringing either one back. Also, not sure about Clay. Him, I think they ask to re-structure to save Cap money but keep him since Dennison's Offense is TE friendly.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 20, 2017 Author Posted November 20, 2017 Ok so I'm going to put QB back to #1 on my list. Then OT then WR then LB then DT maybe its easier to just list what positions we DONT need to address in this draft CBF

Teddy KGB Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Oh just QB RB2 WR (pending kb knee, Zay is solid) LT, RT, G, DT, LB's, CB.
Tatonka68 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 QB..QB..QB.. Nothing else matters please refer to years 1999 to 2017.

I'm not doing this to pick a verbal spar over our disagreement, but do you still believe they bring Tyrod back? I still think Shady is gone due to all of my aforementioned reasons, Hughes has become virtually invisible and I just don't see Kyle sticking around for this re-build. But alas....we shall wait and see.
Reed83HOF Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 every position and don't reach based on need. If the QBs blow, don't take one; if there is one you are sure on - get him
Pete Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I think its a better question who is worth keeping and building around? There is little talent on this old team. What parts are worth saving and throw the rest in the trash heap. I distrust the process

But alas....we shall wait and see. Nope, a lot has changed in the last 2 weeks. He played his worst game and then shockingly got benched. I could see all of those guys gone. Kyle is probably gone as is Lorax. Shady probably is here another year and Tyrod is out (hopefully they trade him). 1
vincec Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 The list is so long that you'd probably be better off listing positions where they DON'T need help. But with that said, you can't do anything long term without a QB so that has to be the #1 pick.
