All I Need is Hope Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 I know we extended Darryl Williams this year, however, with especially Spencer Brown, it will be interesting to see if he lights it up at RT... maybe Williams goes to swing or guard. Watching Brown's tape now. He is fluid, can bend and just engulfs people. Good problems to have 1 2
NickelCity Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Darryl Williams' starting spot is quite safe. But Brown is a nice prospect. The guard spots should see a nice battle. I like Lamp. (I love Lamp?) 4 4
TheBrownBear Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 My understanding is that Brown has a ways to go in his development, so I think we're looking at a move like this in 2022 at the earliest 4

GunnerBill Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Williams is the starter in 2021 but I think nothing is guaranteed beyond that. His contract is easily escapable after this year so if they think Brown is ready he could be one of the easier cap cuts.

Only thing missing in my eyes is a top-tier CB2 to pair with White. Hopefully, that gets addressed in the 2022 draft 1
chris heff Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Starting five could be Dawkins, Lamp, Morse, Feliciano and Williams. Has Ford really shown anything? They have tried him at three different positions. He could get traded before the season starts. 2

Lamp hasn’t shown much at the Chargers either hence why the Bills picked him up for a bottom of the barrel deal... Boettger is probably a bigger possibility to beat out Ford.. In respect of Williams...I hope he plays like he did last year and sees out his contract... certainly good value and they have been looking for a good RT for a while...

BubbaT Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Ok, it's 2022. Who is our center? Thought they might draft a developmental one. Edited May 2, 2021 by BubbaT 1

We can simply..... draft one.

On the positive ...Jack Anderson could be a development prospect at C ... he was saying in his interview yesterday that he has practiced a lot there previously although I don’t believe he has actually played there much at Texas Tech....

Chandler#81 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 WTH?! 😳 OP, allow me to refresh preceding events from this off-season. The Bills gave a 1 year ‘Prove It’ deal to Williams last season. He not only never relinquished his spot on the team, he was our BEST offensive lineman on a high scoring, Championship Game team. Free to go anywhere for any amount of money, he re-signed with the team for - now jot this down-Twenty Eight Million Dollars. Never, in the entire history of Pop Warner football, has a 3rd Round pick supplanted a super multi million dollar player, to say Nothing of any other level of the game. A closer reality narrative would be the kid never sees the field. i hope this helped.. 🤦♂️ 1 1
unbillievable Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) they kept 9 O-linemen on the 53. Dawkins-Doyle Ford-Lamp Morse Feliciano-Bates Williams-Brown Boettger might stay if Morse gets IR'd, Cut, or Traded. Ford can be the surprise cut, but I think he will stay for a few games (like Spain). Anderson to PS. Edited May 2, 2021 by unbillievable 1
ghostwriter Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 All it takes is one injury and Brown will be inserted into the lineup. He’s a beast, he can play on the left or the right side. Clearly he needs to be developed, but physically, athletically it’s all there. Seems to have enough bend, as does Doyle. Brown will likely see playing time this year, although will likely not be a full time starter, at least not yet, but in the future, most likely so. Doyle will most likely be a swing tackle/backup. I mean, before the draft we had Bobby Hart, that’s bad news if you’re a Bills fan and Dawkins or Williams goes down. Especially with Williams injury history. Most likely Brown is being groomed to take over on the right side.
unbillievable Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Wyatt Teller was also a Mauler that needed time to develop. I hope this staff is more patient with this year's draftees... 1 1
LabattBlue Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Unless they are a complete surprise in training camp, I'd be shocked if either Brown or Doyle are #2 on the OT depth chart come September thru December. My guess is that if either of them are even active on game days it would be to lineup on FG teams.
JohnNord Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 I think the fans that are calling Brown to start at RT are jumping the gun quite a bit. It sounds like he was a long term projection coming out of college, so he’ll need to have a helluva preseason to unseat Williams. If we’re taking 2022, then I definitely think starting is a possibility then. But like most picks this year, I don’t think he’ll be an immediate contributor in 2021 1

All of our top 3 picks have a lot of potential but most scouts talk about our picks being 1-3 year project guys. Well we are in win now mode so I don’t want this to be a throw away year because we didn’t add talent that helps us immediately. We could have added an immediate starter on OL at Guard or at least a likely next year’s center in round 2-3 because those guys were available, but we didn’t. So if we take a step backward this year we can blame the front office. It’s a risk. 1
