IgotBILLStopay Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) So many OL being drafted - Clearly there will be opportunities when teams cut players to make room for the draftees - given our depletion of draft capital in rounds 2 and 3 and the holes we have in OL - I think we should focus on drafting WRs and be ready to use those opportunities to get OL.

Free agents are your friends for filling holes season to season. The draft is about the future, free agency is about NOW.

So late round picks never start? The Bills need help on the oline why wouldnt they draft someone.
SCBills Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I don’t think Buffalo’s coaching staff is as concerned with O-Line as we are. 1

And that it's simplistic, dumb fan thinking. (actually, just added that). Running backs, and linebackers - yes. Olineman - rarely. I wouldn't count on it happening. I would draft BPA, and look to free agency, while hoping the guys from the previous drafts develop. 13 minutes ago, Domdab99 said: Trad Shady for a 3rd and pick one there HAHAHA! Great idea!
Skins Malone Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Umm no its dumb fan thinking that specific positions like linebacker but not oline can be filled later in the draft. Please give me facts on why oline cant be filled but linebacker can? Sad Edited April 28, 2018 by Skins Malone
Prickly Pete Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Do people expect these Bills to contend this year? I don't, so chasing positional players to fill this seasons holes is STUPID.
Domdab99 Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Sorry, I though we were panicking in this thread...

Probably because these are instinctive postions. Oline is all about technique, and general takes more time to develop the techniques.
SCBills Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) We brought in Bodine and Newhouse as Free Agents to compete, and still have Conor McDermott at RT on the roster. I get the feeling that the staff is fine with Dawkins at LT and Groy at C/G (as they should be), then let camp sort out the other G/C positions if we can’t work something out with Richie while Newhouse goes up against McDermott for RT.

Yep....your saying look into it yourself because you have no facts to back up such a dumb claim.
