Both tackles played decently and the real liabilities were at OC and RG as both Miller and Groy struggled badly. Wait until Mills has to face a really good DE like Bosa or Mack as he will show how bad he really is. You're right though, as I would also replace every player on that line save Dawkins. Mills is terrible. I never meant to say I thought otherwise, I just meant to say of all the terrible olinemen we have he was the least terrible. He was the worst olineman on the team last year with Vlad right behind him. That's how bad our line is at this point, we're debating who is worse, Vlad or Mills. This line is a mess.

Now going into 2018 they knew that Mills was bad so why not make another move to replace him again? There was the draft and free agency. Okay, so money is tight this year. Be freaking creative and sign some talent to protect that QB you gave up so much to get! I honestly don't get the thinking here...it's like Doug Whaley with no veteran QB on the roster to help these young QBs and allowing them to play behind one of the very worst offensive lines I've seen in Buffalo. This! It's so very difficult for me to comprehend not building a top offensive line to protect that shiny new toy at QB, or to build it to have a strong run game to help out the defense. I just don't get it! Dawkins took LT reps all summer during his rookie year McDermott never tried to put him on the right side with the first team it seems like Glenn being shipped was always part of the plan and the injury was the opportunity to do it Edited September 13, 2018 by Buffalo716

And he was at LT during the spring the whole time you think if they wanted him as a starting RT they would have never put him in the left at all and let him learn the right from day 1
Fadingpain Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 I would personally love to see some big, naturally strong farm boys with mobility. Guys with German last names who play in the Big Ten or places like Nebraska and Oklahoma. They seem to make the best OL men. 1
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Appreciate the effort. But man you have to be a diehard to scout o linemen. So boring. But respect to those that do! 2

O-line likely in 2nd and 3rd. As another poster mentioned, why get a QB then not protect him. It's like buying a new shiny car and not maintaining it. Eventually you'll ruin your investment/spend. 1
The_Dude Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 Until I don't have a reason to watch the QB's, I'll start with them.

But this list allows you to go, "oh, good QB and good OL in the same game." See if any O-line play gets called-out by the announcers.
ocemur Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Start from the middle out: It's way early, but Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin, Darryl Williams C/G Mississippi State, and later round Sean Krepsz, C/G, Nevada. I want a Hull, E. Wood, Nick Mangold type who is here for ten years to provide stability and continuity for Allen.
Virgil Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 With the depth expected on both lines this draft, I really hope we’d trade back. I’d gladly take 3 solid starters over a Bosa
