All I Need is Hope Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Some room for optimism, but this team needs a lot. I also wish that Edmunds and Allen showed more to give us more than hope for the future. 1 1

Edmunds had 120 tackles, 2 ints, 2 sacks as a 20-year-old rookie and looks like he's poised to take over reins as defensive leader at 21 next year. Allen had 5 tds today and almost led the league in qb rushing despite missing nearly half of season. It's hard to expect much more. On another note: they may have found two starters at key positions in the 2018 UDFA market which is pretty impressive. And...don't look now, but Browns about to have ball and if they get 50 yards or so, we can claim #1 defense.
BillsVet Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 7 picks in rounds 4-7. Multiple other teams have plenty of cap room. And UFAs know it. Defense itaelf is nice, but less important than many fans realize. They need significant help at RB, WR, TE, and at least 3 OL positions.
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I agree with the list John. I’m excited for the offseason. For the Bills it’s all in front of them. The FO should be able to chart whatever path they need to.

In the last two drafts, we got Milano and Taron Johnson in those rounds. Yes, other teams have cap room, but we have more, hence can outbid -- more importantly, it gives freedom to re-sign our own guys.

At this point, 2 other teams have more cap space and two are within 15M of Buffalo. Besides, this will change significantly by March when the new year begins. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/2019/ BTW, which guys is this team going to re-sign? It's too early according to the CBA for the '17 draft picks. And who from '15 or '16 are the types to retain on big contracts? Meanwhile, the hit rate after round 4 is low, so if you're looking for top end starters there, the chances are very slim. Johnson is injured all the time and Milano has finished his first two seasons on IR.

TigerJ Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 46 minutes ago, BillsVet said: Johnson is injured all the time and Milano has finished his first two seasons on IR. Johnson sustained a (I think) shoulder injury early in the season and tried to play through it all season, hoping to delay surgery until the offseason. He almost made it. To say he is injured all the time is misrepresenting what actually happened. 1
JerseyBills Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Most important off season in 2 decades. A good off-season and we're definitely contenders. A great one and we could be one of the elites in the AFC . Either way,the future is so bright. I can't stop talking about how much I love the vision and blueprint McBeane implemented 1

Jets/Dolphins look like both will be once again rebuilding/reshuffling. Brady/Gronk one year older.

TigerJ Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Johnson is physical, to be sure. I remember another Buffalo cornerback who was considered undersized, yet was very physical. Antoine Winfield had himself a very nice NFL career. Yes, it's possible Johnson could have recurring injury issues. Buffalo will want to kleep working on building depth at defensive back. I hope Johnson continues to play with confidence and physicality though.
Alphadawg7 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Why do people keep saying we have the 9th pick? We have the 10th.
