Rubes Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Pretty interesting from that article how we've basically obtained an entire offensive line in free agency with two tackles, two guards, and a center. If nothing else, we have plenty of good depth. I hope that we draft a guard and tackle relatively high this year, that would give us very solid depth all across the line. 2

Mat68 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 The line was trash. Dawkins and Tellar will be the only ones on the roster next year. 1
RobbRiddick Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 with injuries the way they are you can never have enough linemen, I say add some more in the draft

BuffAlone Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Its amazing. Beane had said that addressing the o-line was a must as to not force their hands in the draft. It was an obvious need.He has followed thru. A Man of his word. Loving this FO more and more. Clear plan. No BS. Follow plan. Build for sustained success. Pardon the pun, but its almost too much to "process" as a lifelong fan! 2 2 1

Agent 91 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 If 75 percent of the signings are contributors is a great FA I need to see the baby before I get happy

I wonder if I should get some kind of fee for putting them in the right direction. 1
TigerJ Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Miller, Mills and Groy are already gone. I don't imagine Sirles or McDermott will be here this summer. Bodine, Dawkins and Teller are the likely holdovers. Bodine will back up Morse. Teller will compete with Feliciano and Long to start, and now Waddle will back up Dawkins and Nsekhi. I expect Buffalo will probably draft a couple offensive linemen, but they will probably be day three picks that the team can stash away on PS or IR to develop down the road. 1

Can we still stash Teller on the PS?
BubbaT Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Now finish it off and draft a quality OT and an athletic quality OG in the first 3 rounds. It will give the Bills cost control thru the first contract with Josh and likely make the O line the strength of the team. (I like how Indy approached it w/ a 1st round center in 2016 and 1st round guard in 2018. They improved exponentially by doing so). They clearly will have MUCH better depth behind it too. A lot of the FA OL's were "compete for it" type signings. Maybe they could beat out the high end draftees too but you know the depth will be much much better. Frankly with a really good O line, it will be pick your poison with the Bills. Do you cheat safeties up to stop the run and get explosive plays behind you with the speed WR's or stay back and let Shady, Josh and Gore run consistently against light boxes? It might be a lot of fun watching this O if they can get the O Line to an elite level.
