BruceVilanch Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Good morning from the west coast, I know this question might be a little early considering we still have free agency and the draft, but who is your pick for a breakout season next year? I landed on Gabe Davis, I think he really flashed in his rookie year (35 rec 599yds 7td 17 yds/rec). I think him learning from guys like Diggs, Brown and Bease is invaluable and I think we see a big leap from him. I'm hoping he can be a 1000yd guy within the next 2 years, he showed a great ability to make tough catches and had a nose for the end zone. Who's your pick? 2 1
H2o Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I think a full offseason in the strength and conditioning program does wonders for Epenesa since last year he was mainly focused on cutting weight. This year #57 steps on the field like he's shot out of a cannon. 9 2

GunnerBill Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I think Ed Oliver is the obvious one. If he can find that consistency in his play and just finish better I think any remaining doubts about him will be expunged. If I am going for someone more left field looking at the current roster... Jaquan Johnson is who I'd go for. Through two years he has been a core STer who only took meaningful snaps on defense in week 17. But as of right now there are only 3 safeties on the roster and Poyer and Hyde's remarkable run of not missing games must end somewhere... he is the under the radar guy for whom I see real opportunity. 2 1
Greg S Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I am thinking Singletary or Moss. I think Beane will put a priority on upgrading the lines on both sides of the ball. It's great watching Josh throw the ball all over the place but they must do a better job running the ball. Better OL should make for a better run game.
Blokestradamus Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I'm going to go for Cody Ford. I still think there's a considerably talented player there and hopefully he can be the answer for one of the guard spots. 6

I have a feeling you're basing this on looks. He's got that playful smile doesn't he? 1 1
gjv001 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I'm thinking four players are prime for breakout seasons; Oliver, Ford, Espenesa, and Edmonds. 2

If he has not nailed down a spot on that 5 by the end of the 2021 season the Bills will be planning for his departure after 2022 and looking to the draft next spring. 1 1
Don Otreply Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Many good choices presented, I think of this question more in position groups, so I’m hoping for both O & D lines / the run game, if those groups make a notable jump, every other position group benefits substantially. Go Bills!!!

I always considered him to be a long-term project that you draft despite the technical issues in his game, so the fact that it's not clicked yet for him doesn't have me too worried. If it doesn't click for him this season, he's a reclamation project for some other team.
