NewEra Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 This couldn’t have gone into the Jarran Reed thread? Reed is the only DT mentioned and this is a topic of discussion within that thread 2 4 1 1
SoCal Deek Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 We’re not “far from done”? Come on, really? Yes...we are. 1
Southern_Bills Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Just makes me wonder if Barmore is in play at 30, assuming he makes it to 30. 2
CaptnCoke11 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) At this point why not take a look at Short on a 1 year prove it deal. Put some incentives in it Edited March 30, 2021 by CaptnCoke11 3

Governor Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Just now, The Jokeman said: Nope a CB. Good point. It’s the only position we’ve heard zero about. Who is the best one at 30?

Well they may be looking to sign another half dozen "Brandon Powell" types. But may lose out on the bidding war for the Sean Davis's of the world!

I don't doubt they did so on Reed - a proven vet coming of a down year and potentially available below market value sitting out there a week into FA... they are exactly the sort of players you do test the water on. Doesn't mean that they actively looking so much as they saw an opportunity and just put the feelers out as to what it might take. 5 1

Unfortunately, this is a weak draft at the top for Cornerback (actually almost every defensive position). The top three guys are Caleb Farley, Patrick Surtain II and Jaycee Horn. I would expect them to be long-gone by the time we pick - although there are some recent rumblings about Farley dropping due to injury concerns (not sure I believe them). I've done numerous mock drafts, and the value picks that usually fall to the Bills are almost always at positions we don't really need like Wide Receiver and Linebacker. The most likely CB options available at #30 include Asante Samuel Jr., Elijah Molden, Greg Newsome II and Tyson Campbell. Those guys are generally considered 2nd Round talents. 1

This, ^^^ Beane is in touch with every free agent players agent that he feels can be an useful part of the team, it’s his job, it’s among the tasks he does up there at OBD..., It would be what one could call a fact finding mission...

Molden shouldn’t be an option imo. He’s a slot guy with no upside on the outside 1 1
