Glad Wallace and numerous other UDFA didnt think this way. 

 

Difference is in 2018 this team sucked overall, so there was a much better chance for an UDFA to make the roster.

That is 100% true and with limited to no training camp it looks make it even harder to make an impression. I still bet one of the UDFA makes it . The tackle or maybe the FB??

Its an open spot.  They perform well they earn a spot. Not saying any one is certain to get one other than those drafted in rounds 1-3.

 

the starters aren’t going anywhere...the battle will be in depth positions.

Baseline for the team...

offense...2QB, 2RB, 4WR, 3TE, 8 OL (19)

defense..6 DL, 5 LB, 5 CB, 3 S (19)

K, P, KR/PR, LS

42 total 

 

11 up for grabs...likely 4 for D, 4 for O, 1 for special teams, 2 are for rookies to keep who may not clear waivers for PS.

Yeldon hasn’t shown ability to break tackles, doesn’t play ST and couldn’t get on the field last year unless Singletary was hurt which i why i think he can and will be easily replaced regardless of where he was drafted. He just hasn’t proven anything with Jax or Buffalo to not have his roster spot challenged. 

 

I know this is the time of year where hope springs eternal and thinking any of our incoming rookies could be Hall of Famers - even our UDFA's - is fine and dandy.

 

However, I'm skeptical that a guy whose career high in rushing in a single season is just 504 yards is going to crush Bills training camp and beat our TJ Yeldon to be the team's #3 tailback. If he's that good, he wouldn't have been the third-string running back for a 6-6 team as a Senior.

I want to score points,  not punt...

But in those very few instances we don’t score would it not be nice to help our defense and pin them deep?

really surprised we didn’t get a speed back. 40 is overrated to some extent, but the ability to break away is nonexistent for these guys.  they can get 10-20 chunks, but then caught from behind. 

You are FAR too obsessed with this

 

the ability to get to top speed quick is far more important

Get out of here with that logic nonsense!

I'm already chiseling that bust for Canton.

Couple things:

1. 5 Cb is not a baseline, as we have carried 4 on the roster for good stretched before.

 

2. Kr/Pr will play other positions as well, he may not see much time on the offense/defense, but he will count for depth at some position

 

I would think of it more like ranges, rather than just a baseline.

QB: 2-3 Rb:3-4 FB: 1? TE: 3-4 OL 8-10 Wr: 6-7  baseline total: 23 likely total: 25-27. 

 

DL: 8-9 Lb: 5-7 Cb: 4-5 S: 4  baseline total: 21 likely total: 23-25

 P:1 K:1 LS:1

I think that Trey Adams OT from Washington might be a player to watch.  Has a chance for Practice Squad I think.

far to obsessed with what>?  I'm just surprised we didn't get a break-away back.  I also noted that ability to get 10-20 yards quickly is better than 40.  So I'm not sure what your snippy comment was about.

I agree. We tried the fast CJ Spiller route and it didn't work. Running backs like Singletary and Moss will break tackles constantly. They'll keep long drives alive. Give me these 2 all day.

[GreggTX]

OT, FB and any good ST guys might have a shot. Punter competition may be coming. I don't think any punters were drafted.

The best punter was drafted, Mann I think his name is. Would have loved him instead of the kicker, he averaged 50 a punt

If the Bills thought like that back when OJ Simpson was drafted, I probably wouldn't be a Bills fan today.

i agree that I would rather have these guys.  My point was I am just surprised we didn’t make a move for a speed guy as well, but the app stat and MD rb’s likely went too high.   but I have no problem with the current backfield.

The New Orleans Saints officially signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston to a one-year contract on Tuesday.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the Saints for Winston, who is expected to back up Drew Brees in New Orleans, but multiple outlets reported he turned down multiple offers elsewhere.

 

Fellow quarterback Taysom Hill signed a two-year, $21 million deal on Sunday, including $16 million guaranteed. The contract also gives him a chance to earn $1 million more in incentives.

And fumbled when given the chance a couple times.

Unless the offseason get shortened, otherwise I agree

Trey Adams is making this Roster. Played 17 games in a row after ACL and Back injuries. He wasn't 100%. 6'8" 330lbs 1st round pedigree. Maybe he is inactive but he will be on the 53 man Roster.
