It would but I also spot holes at RB, TE, RT, LG (pending what happens with Spain), DE, OLB and CB. Again, not one player away.
SCBills Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I think the easiest way for us to make a huge jump next year is to let Spain walk due to kicking Ford inside, and then make a run at Conklin for RT. That right there, is a very good OL. Then on defense, let Phillips walk, re-sign Lawson and Johnson, then target Ngakoue. Higgins in the 1st. Dobbins in the 2nd. Linebacker in the 3rd. It all seems so simple on paper...

Again, not one player away. Yes we are not one player away , but we were one catch away from moving from Houston to KC we had to settle for 3 field goals if we score one TD that game would have been OVER , Texans had the worst defense coming in to the playoffs and we could only muster 3 points in the second half ? How are we supposed to compete with a teams like KC ? Edited January 14, 2020 by Putin 1
All I Need is Hope Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 If you consider Beane's approach to-date, how close we are to competing for a championship and the young core that we have; then I think that he spends on 1-2 playmakers this offseason. For example, the 49ers added Dee Ford and Emanuel Sanders... I could see something like this happening; then continue to draft well, add a few tier 2 free agents (OL/DB) keep and develop our own. 1
MrEpsYtown Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Defensive end. Jerry is nearing the end here and a part time player. Shaq is a FA and Lorax (though he is not a DE had rotational reps) is retiring. I do think they may wind up cutting Murphy, simply base on the cap savings and the fact that his production does not match the salary. Maybe ask him to take a pay cut. I don't love Yannick Ngakoue's game honestly and don't think he is a great fit for what McDermott wants to do. I also don't think he is a good locker room guy. I know that people think that Clowney is a diva and a selfish guy...I actually think that applies to Ngakoue much more. I think Clowney makes sense, and he is the prototype. I don't really like Vic Beasley or Dante Fowler much either, in terms of their fit. Outside of Clowney maybe you can look at the next tier like a Robert Quinn type. I also think Leonard Williams could be interesting as a 4-3 DE if he lost like 15-20lbs. So plan A sign Clowney. Plan B, sign Leonard Williams and a hybrid guy like Kyler Fackrell/Bruce Irvin. Base downs Williams plays LE and Fackrell/Irvin plays SAM. In passing situations Fackrell goes to DE and Williams goes in side and rushes the passer next to Ed Oliver. You are basically replacing Lorax, Shaq, Murphy and J. Phillips. Just my 2 cents.

Not sure Arizona would let him walk, but I'd love to see them bring in Drake. Inside. My guess is LG to replace Spain. They aren't going to give up on a 2nd round pick this early even though it looks like a bad one to this point. AJ Brown or DK Metcalf would look real nice right now... 2

If he is, as his scouting report suggested, a potential pro-bowl caliber G, there's nothing wrong with that. 1

Putin Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) We lost 6 games this year if I remember correctly we all sat here and held the offense responsible , to me personally the one that hurt the most was the pats**** game at home , Cleveland, Baltimore, when we needed one more score and the offense FAILED....

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 3 hours ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Typically number 1 WR's don't hit free agency. I mean who is the target on offense? Amari Cooper isn't getting to free agency. AJ Green would be nice but what exactly are we getting? I'de rather go through the draft or trade. I could see some OL hitting free agency that would help but I think they like their OL. If you're the bengals AJ green is exactly the guy you keep if you draft burrow. Assuming some of their offensive linemen don't get injured this time around.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 From Beane’s comments, I don’t see them making a big splash at all. Maybe some more depth guys on D and a mid-tier interior linemen. 1

Dkollidas Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 I think what they do with Ford depends First; on what happens with Spain. Second, if Spain leaves what free agents are available and decide to actually come here if they are pursued. ultimately I think they bring back Spain and keep Ford at tackle. They trust their coaches to develop the player. He only played one year of college at tackle, flipped between tackle and guard all training camp, and was in the Big12. I think they believe he has RT upside and that they can develop him.
