TheBeaneBandit Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 It's ok I'm gonna dream too. I hope we at least nail 2 o line targets and a couple Jesse James level players to round things out. 1

They have so many holes, I’m not sure how much they can afford to go for many top shelf guys. Having said that, IMO the smart teams build the lines.
Laughing Coffin Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Guards can play well into their 30s at a high level. I would have no problem with signing saffold to a 5 year deal at his age 1

In fantasy I hope we come away with Saffold, Williams and Paradis....a good reality would be 2 of them.
BuffaloRebound Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Won’t surprise me if Rams re-sign him in next 12-24 hours.

I think itll be morse and williams. Can see paradis going with gase. I would be happy with either one of the centers. Concussions with morse scare me tho.

With so many holes to fill, can they afford to pay multiple interior lineman over $10M per season? I'm hoping that answer is no.

BigBuff423 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 IMO, simply plugging good players into the Offensive Line doesn't equate a good Offensive Line. Variables such as the ability to gel and play as a single, cohesive unit come into play. So, while the Bills MUST throw money at the OL, I don't think they "need" to do it at every position. In other words, getting a Vet C IMHO is paramount to all other OL issues and then getting a great RT should be next on the list to make the talent and abilities stretch across the whole line. A very good Guard can be found in the Draft in the 3rd round or if it warrants it, not based on need but BPA, sooner. Defensive Line / WR / OG are not the areas I'd like the Bills to use "big" money on in FA. TE? Yes. C / RT? Yes. OLB? Yes. But the other positions are relative positions of strength for the Draft. So, I assume the Bills will get one or two WRs in FA, but I'm not the guy who thinks you can solve that issue by going after "a name". Give me a tremendous OL with a mix of Vets and youth, Vet TEs who can block and find the seam - along with Croom who was arguably their best TE last season and in his 3rd year should make a big leap forward, and a QB who is growing and maturing. THEN give me the WRs who are hungry to play at all times, in any situation (e.g. Foster) and I think you've established a revamped Offense.

I'm hoping that answer is no. I think they wind up with one of these centers at the very least. Right now they go Beachum-Osemele-???????-Winters-Shell. They have 100 million in cap space. I would be surprised if they don't sign Paradis, (great ginger connection with Darnold) and I could see them going after JuWan James as well. But in terms of need, they really need base defensive ends. Unfortunately, the answer is definitely not no. Edited March 11, 2019 by MrEpsYtown

MrEpsYtown Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 The only advantage I think we have in terms of luring Paradis is Buffalo vs New Jersey and NY media. He's an Idaho farm guy, so the only chance we have is if he'd rather not go to a media hotbed. I think Morse is the better fit for us, but I do fear that the Texans try to swipe him. I also think Minnesota and Arizona will go after Paradis. Possibly Baltimore as well.
