(Lions and Cowboys) I think Lawrence will probably go back to Dallas and Ansah probably isn't on the level of Quinn just because he's been very inconsistant throughout his career. Though I do not know how far Quinn's game has slipped, but my guess is that his history will still bring him in a substantial contract. 2 minutes ago, thebandit27 said: Barron has been playing the "moneybacker" spot for the Rams the last 3 years. What is that?
SouthNYfan Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Austin was drafted with the pick we had, that we traded back to draft EJ Manuel instead.

thebandit27 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Posted February 6, 2018 Just now, whatdrought said: Is that something that McD uses? Not in the exact same way as the Rams or Cardinals, but yes. He used Thomas Davis (a former safety) in that role in Carolina, and the team drafted Shaq Thompson (a former safety and RB) back in 2015, and he plays that role as well.

I know that as a rule McD prefers faster more athletic backers who go side to side well and I am sure that as Baron is a former SS he might be more that mold.

He checks multiple boxes for what McDermott likes: he can cover, he can range sideline to sideline, and he's versatile. He'd be a good get IMO 1
blacklabel Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Barron could be in play because of his versatility and we know how much McD values that. Barron can play that hybrid safety/linebacker role that has come into fashion in recent years.
billsfan89 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Quinn and Barron would be good adds. But pass on Austin, the Bills have limited cap space have to think smart about what they spend money on.
BrooklynBills Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Did Mark Barron and Leslie Frazier overlap in TB? Cause it ended pretty badly there.

This is why I like Oren Burks as a sneaky pick for us.
FearLess Price Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I can see a small raid. Same with philly, they have a lot of FAs and no cap space really. If we dont trade up to grab a qb in the 1st, then i see mcderm going all in on a front 7 rebuild. Hes gonna wanna rebuild the LBs or DLs like he fixed the secondary this year.
