Boatdrinks Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Take a good QB if there is a way you can get one. Make it happen somehow , some way. Don't get too hung up on the " order" of acquiring players. The OL isn't terrible. They need a good G or two. Provided they keep Glenn and put Dawkins at RT.
jrober38 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 The Bills are 100% drafting a QB this year. They're going to get rid of Tyrod, sign a cheap vet, and hang on to Peterman as a long term backup. They'll fix the rest of the team over the next 2-3 years.

Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 I can't believe anyone is saying, thinking or believing our OL is pretty good. We have one maybe two serviceable OLman. Mills and our RG whether it is Vlad or Miller are beyond bad. Wood is bottom half at C. I like RI but he's not played as well this year. Dawkins seems to be the real deal and Glenn has been good in the past, but must really be hurting to miss so much time. So draft one of the top 4-5 QBs in this draft and pray they live through the evolution of the OL. What happened to Peterman in SD was a travesty. His mistake was trying to make something happen with zero chance of success. After we get the QB, go heavy on OL and DL please!

All three of these needs should be addressed in this year's Draft and all three can be with the number of early round picks the Bills have. The only thing that will screw this up is when the Front Office gets cute and starts trading up to get 'their' guy. History has already taught us that drafting accuracy is not all that good for any team...especially the Buffalo Bills. If you Trust the Process during the season, you also have to the Trust the Process in the off season.

Some say a good QB makes the OL look better. What do you all think is more important? OC and then OL Coaching. O Line needs work and I would truly like that bolstered. Richie and Wood are nearly done. Ducasse and Mills are not really starters. Glenn is a question. Groy good. Dawkins good, Hendy has some value still so much work to do. and then it WRs. and then its Lbs and then its D line and then depth in the secondary. oh and another TE or two that said Draft the QB 18 minutes ago, Jay_Fixit said: Get your quarterback Protect your quarterback Get to the other teams quarterback Hired !

There are a boatload of free agents out there, the draft and trade options. You work on QB, OL, WR, TE, RB, DL, LB and secondary. Not one of these positions will have all the same starters or depth next year. Not one. Edited December 7, 2017 by keepthefaith
PrimeTime101 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Both, OT OG QB WR DT pure 4-3 ILB are the top 5 needs and very obtainable in the draft.
Mat68 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Glenn at RT and Dawkins at LT improves the line greatly. Get a Qb.
Augie Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 If you can get the QB, no doubt you do that. THEN you build BOTH lines.

ROONDOGG55 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 If we were starting from scratch, I'd say o-line every time. We actually have a decent o-line with depth, so QB all the way in our situation. I'd prefer a vet QB with a high pick understudy though. Maybe Alex Smith, and Josh Allen? Josh Allen seems to be more like Cam Newton with his size and athleticism, and I doubt we would have to trade up too far to get him.
13player Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Just wondering everyone's thoughts on this, we have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds and both our lines are in trouble. Drafting a QB and putting him behind a sub par O line is going to amount in a bust in my opinion. would we not be better off drafting a RT and trying to get rid of Glenn in a Trade? We should be looking at RT, And a LG to replace Richie as well as a Tackle to replace Kyle Maybe 2 tackles we also need another pass rusher, i like Shaq, he can set the edge but he did struggle a bit the last couple of games but If we cant keep the QB off the ground and safe its a wasted pick. I am not even sure Petterman cant be the guy with a line in front of him, he does have a strong enough arm, a fast release, decent runner, i bet he is a different QB with a Line in front of him. I just think the days of letting your #1 pick if a qb have a season to develop, if P. Manning came out today, he may never have played past the 3rd or 4th game, never mine a whole season. If i was drafting i would be looking at draft players in expensive positions like LT, RT, DT, Pass Rusher, QB and corners most they other positions we need like RG, LG and LB we can get deals on, I just dont think we have a strong enough line to draft a QB and expect a result. If we do this and let Petterman play a season he is either a different QB behind a good line or a bust in which case hopefully we can draft a qb in 19 with a great Oline, just look at Philly and Dallas two extremes, a first rounder and a 4th rounder bit both teams have great lines so go ahead and rip me a new one.
hemma Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 QB, but in our case, better hope that he's very durable.

I'd fix the O-line first. No QB drafted is gonna get settled in and find a rythm behind a Swiss cheese line. If QB is the most important position on the field you would think you would want to invest heavy into protecting him. Especially if it's a rookie looking to find his stride. Same plan Buffalo used for 17 years. Great plan. If the QB can read a defense and has a quick release O line does not have to work that much.
