OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Here's what the Bills' 53-man roster could look like in Week 1 against the Jets Sal Maiorana, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Published 3:31 a.m. ET May 9, 2019 ORCHARD PARK – Last summer when the Buffalo Bills pulled into training camp at St. John Fisher College, all eyes were on the quarterback competition, specifically how rookie first-round draft pick Josh Allen was performing. When the Bills return in late July for their 20th visit to Pittsford, eyes will be spread all around the practice fields because with all the off-season additions to the roster, there will be several competitions unfolding, a few of which could be fascinating. Between now and then there will be a rookie mini-camp, organized team activities, and a mandatory mini-camp that will help coach Sean McDermott and his staff get to know all of these new players, reconnect with returning players, and develop a plan leading into the Fisher sessions, which will be critical when it comes time to picking the 53-man roster. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2019/05/09/buffalo-bills-53-man-roster-projection-shows-several-new-starters/3654878002/ Edited May 9, 2019 by OldTimeAFLGuy

It's like paying to see someone's mock draft. 3

Overall the list is reasonable. OL is the largest question. He has Ford at RT which makes sense but my guess is they start him at G. Edited May 9, 2019 by Just Joshin' 1

Gaines, Taron Johnson, Rafael Bush, Levi Wallace, Jaquan Johnson, Siran Neal Special teams (3) Depth chart: Stephen Hauschka, Corey Bojorquez, Reid Ferguson I think its a good place to start. I'd prefer Derek Anderson not to make the team and another WR who shows promise. 4 TEs seem like a lot too....would have to see a lot out of Croom/Fisher for them to both make it.
Fixxxer Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Call me crazy, but I think we will carry 5 TEs this year, and cut DiMarco Kroft Knox Sweeney Croom (could play wide at times) Fisher (if he has realiable hands, he could be very useful) all make the team. I think it gives Daboll more options on offense this way.
jwhit34 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I count about 43 locks to make it, from Sal's list the ones that are not locks: FB - Dimarco WR - Duke Williams TE - Fisher G - Teller DL - Yarborough LB - Alexander (though he's close because of ST) LB - Harold DB - J. Johnson DB - Neal P - Bojorquez I think either Fisher or Dimarco make it not both and J. Johnson and Neal could both make it but at least one will. If Carter's ACL is healed the punting competition could be pretty good. I think they keep 6 WRs If either Dimarco or Fisher do not make it I think they keep 9 OL and use 1 as the extra blocking TE (Waddle?) - that would give them 5 interior and 4 OTs I do think they keep Neal and J. Johnson 1
BillsFan17 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I'd be really shocked if Sills didnt make the roster with how they paid to lock him up and an UDFA
