Bates was a UDFA. 1 hour ago, John from Riverside said: I would be shocked if Bates didnt return. Right when he was getting his chance with us. I think he could start in NE. Not sure about Chicago. Not sure about here (he would compete though for sure) Quote

Not sure about here (he would compete though for sure) I’m not sure Zion ends up getting drafted in the 1st, same with Kenyon Green. Round 1 Bills should go CB, but they definitely need to address the oline whether it’s depth or competing for a starting spot. Will likely need at least 2 picks spent on the oline. 1 Quote

They value their own and Sweeney was an unknown given his OCVID issues and he flashed a little in his rookie year. I would have kept Hollister and cut Gilliam. But then again I would have kept just about any player over Gilliam. The point of that position isn’t to be a weapon with the ball. It’s to block and catch teams off guard once in a blue moon. Hollister serves zero purpose minus being a big slot wr. 1 1 Quote

Not sure about here (he would compete though for sure) It comes down this imo. How much do we value the RG position? Are we willing to roll the dice on our season by waiting till the later rounds to fill RG? If we have a Cody ford type RG, it’s gonna make it that much harder to win the SB. Maybe we shuffle another 3-4M down the road and sign a guard on a 1 year deal. And then we’re in the same position next year. I hope Bates returns and we can draft a guy in rd 2-4 2 Quote

The ovation that Mike White got in the stadium when he came out was electric. Jets fans were wearing Mike White jerseys. There was an air of hope and fans debating if White was better than Wilson. After a couple of quarters of playing the Bills D, Jets fans were chanting “Flacco! Flacco! Flacco!” The were happy when White got hurt. It was hilarious. To watch the dude’s career go up in flames in two quarters of football. 1 2 Quote

I remember watching SNY the week leading up to the Bills game and you would have thought that Mike White was the second coming of Joe Namath. After the Bills ripped them a new one and made White look like Nathan Peterman, they turned on him as fast as they had deified him. He went from the penthouse to the outhouse...more like the port-o-potty...never to be heard from again. J-E-S-T...JEST!, JEST!!, JEST!!! 1 Quote

Not sure about here (he would compete though for sure) I personally don't want my $250 million QB behind Cody Ford or a low draft pick at RG. Call me silly if you must. I agree not a first rounder (should be CB/WR etc), but a solid pick. Then again we saw a 2nd round pick in Ford, and a 5th in Teller.... I'm not sure how I feel about McBene and their talent evaluation/ coaching on OL/DL TBH. Based on what I saw in Chicago, they can use all the OL help they can get, much like New England, even with their recent additions. Quote

I dunno if any QB's are worth taking in the 1st round this year, at least not early. Might be better take a flier on one a bit later, or just to stock up on picks & wait for next season. Quote

I guess if he became the backup “floater” it would at least be something 😕 As an OL prospect, Ford has been much more of sinker than a floater. 1 Quote

TEs that can block and catch replaced fullback a long time ago. It will be very interesting to see what Dorsey does this year with formations. If Howard can stay healthy they will have two credible TE threats and both better than the Metzellars/McKeller combo. Quote

Nah. Now. We want our TE2 to be able to block. That was proven this season when hollister was cut. It was proven again when Sweeney was inactive for the last 1/5 of the season and Doyle was the TE2. 1 Quote

Just a thought. I've heard some analysts alude to the fact that he wanted out of New York due in part to political reasons. I think he's more comfortable in his home state of Texas.

Houston makes sense. Browns make sense from a football perspective. Not sure if you want a free spirit like Beasley after you just sold your soul for Watson. New England is more of a long shot but he'd be a nice safety blanket for McCorkle. Arizona makes a lot of sense if he wants to go out West after they lost Kirk. Quote
