If you had to pick a hole on our roster, where would you place the most emphasis on a late first rounder? Say, pick 32?

Ideally I'd like to add another young pass rusher.

 

Pick 32 sounds right!

Well this makes a lot more sense than the previous report.

Someone got their Duck Season/Rabbit Season confused.

Bills PR released the info. Watch out for a pink slip!

I think it’s CB. Levi gives 100%, but he’s the weakest link in a strong secondary.

I wouldn't be shocked if Vosean Joseph is added to the PS, but neither would I be shocked if he isn't.  I think mentally he's no sufficiently up to speed to justify a roster spot.  Whether or not he has potential to learn, is a judgment the Bills have to make.   I think DiMarco to IR may clear the way for Gilliam.  He's listed now for a different position, but he can do a lot of the same stuff as DiMarco.  I'm not sure what the Bills are doing with Sweeney.  Did he have to come off PUP to have any eligibility for the season.  I could see the Bills putting him on IR after they reach 53.

 

I feel like he should be added to the PS. He was on IR last season and didn't have a proper off-season this year. Former 5th round pick who was thought to be a good value at that point in the draft. Seems like he should hang around the PS for one season and then see if he can make the roster outright in training camp next year.

Looks like they originally planned on activating Sweeney and changed their minds, so have to rescind the move

My thinking on this is....

 

If Edmunds or Milano went down......would we be in troublle?

 

I was hoping that Joseph was going to be that guy that came in and wowed people in training camp.....it didnt happen

Not an outside LB. Gross. 

Lose Milano and you will change your tune really fast

Seems like this would mean both Sweeney and Gilliam are making the 53.

Likely Sweeney will make 53 and then be cut and put on IR.

Funny, the PR dept likely reports up through the marketing dept...

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Safe bet we carry a few more TEs this year for FB situations

Considering what has happened to Bills I had always considered Bills' god one of the American Indian Trickster god imported when Billy Buffalo was added.

Trent  could have a restructure deal on the table with less cap hit and more guaranteed like Kroft.  It could be up in the air pending an answer.

 

Kroft had multiple years when he made deal.  Less likely.

Weak link is OLB, maybe CB. If you have a late round pick in the first use it on an OLB not a CB. Cant imagine paying Tre and another potential top corner when upfront we have to pay Milano, Edmunds, and Oliver

I guess you never heard of Vontae Davis 😉

 

It was pretty hot in the stands that day so it was even hotter on the field.

 

The man couldn't run anymore and got smoked a few times badly.

 

I don't blame him for not wanting to prolong the misery.

They knew 48 maybe even 50 the guys that were making the team before camp.

Well, I guess even a full year off to dive into the playbook didn't help Joseph after all. 

He couldn't tackle in college. I thought his aggressiveness would translate into a pass rusher but I don't think McD values linebackers that rush from the outside.

if starting threads like this, mind updating the OP with a list of updates?

I followed him as a Gator and loved his aggressiveness and big playmaking. It was an undisciplined Defense they ran @ Florida -regarding inside LB’s, so I knew he’d still have a lot to learn. Obviously, he wasn’t a good student..

always like taking the swing at ultra talented prospects late. Even if they can’t put the pieces together, 99% of late picks will struggle anyway. May as well work it with a gifted athlete

Sounds good.

 

How many more players need to be cut before the deadline?

[HappyDays]

 

So looks like Foster and Croom will be cut if a trade partner isn't found.

[JoPoy88]

Like a few others I noticed in this thread, I am bummed about Vosean but clearly he just didn’t have it.

not always but probably 

 

sometimes you are willing to deal your 6 instead of cut your 7 if it’s not a big difference to you and someone will give you any value.
