I still say you go BPA at 9 or trade down or whatever. If that BPA happens to be an O-lineman, take the kid! Our O-line needs as much help as it can get. Giving JA time to throw, and Shady holes to run through will make everyone look better. Because there will almost assuredly be a difference maker at another position of need that won't be a reach at #9. If we were to sign Saffold and Morse - that's going to eat up a HUGE chunk of our cap space. I'm not saying don't Draft a Lineman at all. I'm just saying using that much cap space on two stud FA Lineman and then the #9 overall is putting too many resources into one place. When this team needs a lot.
SoCal Deek Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 I find it hard to believe that a guy would leave a team with a young coach and quarterback, that just went to the Super Bowl, while living in suburban Los Angeles, just to rewind his career by a few years and move to a team with a young QB and coach that hasn’t smelled the Super Bowl in two decades and live in suburban Buffalo, NY. But....we’ll see! 3 2 1
GG Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Surprised no one asked if Kromer is also coming with him? 1
CuddyDark Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 I hate signings like this. Linemen should be scrappy and young. Great Olinemen almost never change teams via free agency.

We have other holes than just the O-Line. We will have the resources to get the other holes upgraded via the rest of the draft.I'm betting the Beane counter spends up to 50 mill from the bank...still leaving us 35 in savings.

The kid played very well at LT when he had a competent LG and C playing next to him. Taking Jonah Williams (or any other OT) at 9 would be a huge mistake, IMO. 6
Augie Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Sign two and draft one high.....we would be looking at a whole new ballgame! This is exciting and can’t happen soon enough!

Surprising really because of Rams center John Sullivan played so poorly in the second half of last year. Kind of interesting that all five Rams linemen played in all 16 games. Anyway, he would be a huge upgrade over what Buffalo now has at LG. Not really at Richie Incognito's level but at 6'5'' 323lbs he should hold his own. Only one hold penalty last year, 4 false starts. Saffold would be a huge help to Dawkins’ development on the left side

Didn’t Dawkins also struggle when they tried to put him on the right side early? 1

If I'm going to overspend I would rather do it for a younger player. As it stands he is in a good situation in LA from location, team and coaching standpoint. Obviously, we can pay more but I think he will stay in tinsel town.

I think they talk themselves into Cajuste. I’d hate that less than Jonah but blehh. It’s a need pick.

Saffold and Morse/Paradis will certainly cost a nice chunk of change. However the rookie drafted at #9 overall, no matter the position, is going to cost only approx $3.5M towards the cap in 2019. Not a huge cap it. Now if you are talking Cap space and draft capital combined as a measuring stick, that would def. be a lot into 1 position group. However I once again would make the argument that the O-Line needs that kind of attention.
