YoloinOhio Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Also trips to work out Kaleb McGary and Dru Samia in last two weeks 5
wppete Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I really hope not OL in the first 2 rounds. Hope the go DL. OT, Kaleb McGary - Washington, is an interesting guy. Seems like they like him. Hopefully he is available in the 3rd. 1

Seems like they like him. Hopefully he is available in the 3rd. Both lines should get the most attention. Since we have our QB, those are the 2 most important areas. Can never be strong enough there. 2 1
YoloinOhio Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 I expect a RT prospect in the 3-4 round 8
Heavy Kevi Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 It's April. Don't believe anything you hear about the draft. 1

FeelingOnYouboty Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Be cool if we just went OL/DL the first three rounds lol 1

And I agree, I'm expecting a tackle in the 3-5 range. I think the Spain deal is a 1 year deal so I'd put money on two OL between 3-5. One interior and one Tackle. Edited April 3, 2019 by NewEraBills
Rc2catch Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Personally I think they’re all set for the offensive line.. Never hurts to add talent but I’d prefer they wait until round 4 or later, not sure there’s enough spots left to really battle for a spot on that line. Looks pretty stacked to me already. 1
blacklabel Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I think the logic here with all the one-year deals on veteran OL is that they wanna bring in some prospects (probably mid-late round guys) and have them learn from the vets for a year. We've heard Beane and other GMs/coaches talk about it before: it's just taking longer and longer to coach up college OL to the NFL game based on the offensive systems run in the NCAA. Lot of these OL don't even put their hand in the dirt most of the time. And they just aren't ready to go as soon as teams would like. So, why not sign a buncha vets, let them compete for starting gigs and let your depth/prospects learn the ropes and then compete next year for starting gigs.
Magox Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Bills still need: Guard Tackle WR TE RB DT DE LB Even though with some of these positions there isn't a dire immediate pressing need, within a year or two they will be. Plenty of positions that still need to be addressed, they don't necessarily all have to be done this year but I would suspect that we use draft picks on most of those in this coming draft. I think we will be trading up multiple times this draft to hone in on some of the players they identify as potential down-the-road if not immediate starters. 1
SoCal Deek Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 This can only mean one thing...we’re drafting seven cornerbacks! 1 1
TigerJ Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 David Edwards sounds like an appropriate Oline pick. He's not ready to be a starter in the NFL, but he's got good athleticism, measurables and upside. The Bills can pick him a bit later and coach him up for a year or two.
bigdogtim Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I think that you need all of the big uglies that you can get. These guys can make marginal skill players shine.
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Still wouldn’t surprise me to gra an OL in first three rounds as a lot of these signings are one to two year deals , have draftee sit an learn and ply some then take hold of spot next year
FeelingOnYouboty Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Any news on the Bills working out Tytus Howard? We still need an LT for the future.

I personally disagree , if we can get 2017 Dawkins back , why can't he be the LT of the future? Only entering year 3. His situation last year was brutal , playing next to below average LG and C . With Spain and Morse he can certainly return to his rookie form , if not improve. I'd like to see the Bills wait til next years draft to make that determination
