At the very least he would make it so that Spencer Brown isn't handed a starting job for free. I'd like to think Brown wins the competition but if he doesn't, you could do worse than Shell as a starting caliber RT.

Try Brown at Guard

 

Dawkins - McGovern - Morse - Brown - Shell

 

Bates primary G & C backup going into draft

No chance he lasts that long.  And that's a C+ at that spot?

I mean I think you could, but not a lot worse...  I agree with the rest. He meets my "make Brown win the job" criteria. But this is a competiton I'd price Spencer up as 70-30 fave.

Bates is pretty good. Why would we do this? Brown is not good.

I mean unlikely. But sure, maybe.

You ever hear of a 6ft 220 lb MLB?

It's my understanding that the Bills want him to beef up in the off season.  They recognize he needs to get bigger.

I don't hate Brown as much as you at RT. But I agree he can't play guard better than the guys we have.

I definitely don’t hate Brown. He didn’t have an offseason last year. He’s a great athlete. He can be a good OT but he’s a long way away.

Shell would likely come cheap. Journeyman part-time starter, nephew of Art Shell. Good depth move at worst, probably an upgrade from Quessenberry.

Teams with franchise QBs have multiple windows. This one feels like it’s closing. It’s just frustrating to see other teams taking big swings and the Bills more or less running it back.

2025 is the end of the current bills run by then they’ll recalibrate with Von likely retiring and Diggs likely traded cause of no dead cap hit. They’ll recalibrate and be back at it 2027 when Josh is around 29 or 30

The weird thing with the Chiefs and Drue Tranquill is they have Bolton, Gay and Chenal, so that make 4 guys on the roster better than Dodson/Bernard. One of them isn’t going to play much. It’s weird.

All good man. I saw some good things from Bernard in the Jets game. A few rookie mistakes as well. I know this, he is not a mike. Does he ever become serviceable? Yeah maybe. If McDermott starts running more of the 4-3 under stuff I could see Bernard being the Shaq Thompson role. Milano is Thomas Davis. We are still missing the Kuechly role. 
 

Right now its really just Wagner or draft, or maybe somebody bets cut. I love Jack Campbell, Trenton Simpson is more their flavor, but we shall see. 

Campbell, although I've really only read on him and watched some YouTube, has great size and is a sure tackler. I'd be happy here too.

A lot of Buzz about Hopkins to Cowboys. 

Good, they are fools

It's a retool year. Should be. The Bills missed on the 5 yr window.

 

It should be a get lean and cut vets/ high salary season.

 

Hasn't worked out that way.

Yea agree with that. He needs a genuine competition.

Thoughts on FA so far?

 

Meh. I like McGovern a little more than the consensus (a thousand times more than I liked the corpse of Saffold a year ago) it seems but don't think he is a difference maker. The rest is a bit much of a muchness.

Eh. Thing is Brown was just as bad his rookie year as he was last season…I specifically remember him being downright atrocious against KC in 2021 divisional game….Hopefully light goes on because they are going with him as starter…. And unfortunately looks the same with Gabe Davis. 

He was up and down his rookie year with some very bad games. But he sat out a year before his rookie season I believe and hoped an offseason would do him good. He never got that.

Not too happy about Harty I take it?  Have you watched any tape or were you familiar with him prior to becoming a Bill?
