Your Top 3 Players from the "Drought Era" you'd add to the current roster

[MarkyMannn]

I'm for linemen. Schobel & Mario Williams. I saw on other posts Jason Peters. Yeah!

Eric Moulds.

 

Terrance McGee, starting opposite Tre and being a lethal KR.

 

Pat Williams in the middle.

Was wondering how long before Big Pat was mentioned. One of my first thoughts.

Would the current Bills beat a team made up of entirely drought players?

Usually, stud and CERTAIN HOF Left tackles tend to make a team much better in the running game, and especially the passing game.

 

Otherwise, your post makes a good deal of sense. 🙄🤯🤨

Yes. Josh Allen is the difference.

Yep, 49ers-era TO

Either Nate Clements, Jabari Greer, or Terrence McGee. Nate was my fav so I’ll go with him.

woods in the slot would be deadly, Gilmore opposite of tre is sweet and lynch running violently. 

[Your Brown Eye]

I'm going to go with Spikes, Peters and Mario Williams. It was very tough to leave off Lee Evans, Moulds, Clements, Lynch, but with the current roster I think I would bolster the D-end position to create a dominant pair with Miller or trio with Miller and Rousseau. Have an stud 4 down LB that can play the run, pass and rush the passer, and then Peters to anchor, dominate and protect Allen.

 

I could easily be convinced to swap out a Moulds or Evans (whom I think would be unbelievable with Allen's arm) for the ones I picked, or even Clements and Lynch.

Mario Williams for Rousseau

Dareus for whoever's playing next to Oliver

Jason Peters for Brown

My heart said Fred but my brain knows this is the best answer.

For my money I’m going with players who are no-doubt difference-makers when compared to the current guys.

 

Nate Clements and Mario Williams are easy choices.  For my third I’ll address my biggest concern for the season and go with Brian Moorman.

 

 

Brian Moorman a no doubt difference maker????

Adding Peters pushes Dawkins to LG and takes an average OL to a great one.

Clements over Winfield? In this defense Winfield would seem to he the perfect CB.

I chose Schobel over Maro Williams but Williams at his prime was better than Schobel. Schobel was just more consistent over a longer period of time for the Bills. Plus he and Ruben Brown lead my short list of most underrated Bills of all time.

Kyle Orton as our backup QB. Stevie Johnson in front of everyone else after Diggs and Davis at WR. Clements at CB 2 just bc of the Brady hit. 🤷‍♂️

Kyle Orton? I’ll never forget him starting a slide three yards behind marker when there was no one within ten yards.

I think the "long time apologist that credited the Bills for trading that ingrate Peters" is showing. 

 

Peters is the only sure-fire HOF'er the Bills drafted or developed during the drought...........and the 2021 Bills OL undermined what should have been a championship season last year.........arguably single-handedly with their 125 combined pressures and sacks.      I know some people think that 34 year old Rodger Saffold has somehow flipped them from bad to good but that's simply illogical.

 

Jason Peters

Mario Williams

Marcell Dareus

 

The HOF'er and the two guys who had the most dominant seasons of any Bills during the drought.

In Bills Fandom, this sort of thing is common.

 

It's the same thinking that had most of this board thinking "this will finally be our year" each year of the draught.

 

LMAO

Byrd has a great highlight reel of INTs, but I'm not sure I'd want him to replace Hyde or Poyer.

I wouldn’t either. However, one could make an argument for Byrd if McD and Frazier would switch the base to a big nickel. He’d certainly add size and splash plays. 
 

Speaking of splash plays…..

 

Terrance McGee. Could play outside and slot cb. Electric returner that was a threat to take any interception, FR, PR, or KR to the house. I’d take Winfield over McGee all day, but if we’re going pure center of the drought remembered for one team guy McGee fits the Bill. Dude could flip the momentum of a game at any moment.
