McGovern is a > vs any OG Sherfield > McKenzie/Crowder/Kumerow Harty = McKenzie Harris > Singletary doesn't mean not drafting those spots again Expand I actually believe Harty to be the most impactful offensive addition. He’s the guy that adds a dimension that they have been lacking. The rest of the additions are either slight upgrades on their predessors (Sherfield > Kumerow, McGovern > Saffold) or slight downgrades (Harris < Motor) IMO. Harty is a dynamic playmaker that can make things happen on his own. The offense has gotten better overall. They needed to. They needed people that can keep Josh upright and people that can take the ball to the house on their own. Hines has some of that as well and was used sparingly. They still need another WR near the top of the depth chart that can win at all 3 levels. 4 Quote

Mopreme Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 He was my third choice after Miles Sanders and Jamaal Williams. I like it especially if they got him under $3mil a year. Quote

Against an Allen offense you should be worried about every weapon on the field. Expand Because we struggle to get tough yards when we only need a couple.

If Singletary got 3.75 - I'd be shocked if Harris came under 5. Quote

Heck McDermott landed Dawkins/ White and Milano in one draft. 2-3 drafts like that = Super Bowl May want to let coach in the room on draft day..... but what do we know..... Expand McD is in the room...like he is during all off-season. In fact, his vision is how you end up going defense in RD1 the past 5 out of 7 years of his tenure. And there are some long-time posters here seeing it could be 6 out of 8. Quote

Or maybe he's an oft-injured smurf who will struggle to stay healthy, and Allen will struggle to make on-time throws to him that allow his calling card of better YAC. In his best year 2021, he had more catches and more yards in fewer snaps than McKenzie had last season. Please don't get me wrong, I'm reasonably happy with the additions the Bills have made and with their decisions to move on from some good players who made solid contributions like Singletary. I hope they will contribute, and well. But I find it hard to put stock in them as "sure bets" at this point. On 3/21/2023 at 12:49 AM, Kirby Jackson said: The offense has gotten better overall.

Expand Scott...why do you have to be such a buzzkill and let the cat out of the bag? We're celebrating RB signings to set up more defense in RD1 for goodness sakes! Come on dude. 1 Quote
TC in St. Louis Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 I'm not concerned about his salary. If Beane needs more cap space, he'll create it. We're only gonna run the ball 20-25 times a game anyway. This adds to the threat. I'd like them to draft the tight end from Georgia. I don't know how teams will know who to cover. By the way, I read that Harris caught something like 40 of 50 targets 2 years ago, so I think that shows he can catch the ball out of the backfield. I don't think we'll take a linebacker or safety in the first round....unless somebody unexpected drops to us. I do see Beane moving down a few spots to where the value matches the need. Quote

That’s EXACTLY what I said. If they took McBride or Bigsby in the middle of the draft, they would have been fine. I don’t see this is anything more than raising the floor (which is okay). Expand I agree, raises the floor and compliments the existing backs.... No problems with the signing. I also like the Sherfield signing today. Excellent options in week two of FA 1 Quote

Expand They aren’t where they need to be, but they are incrementally better. Harty is a threat but he is 5’6” (or whatever) coming off a turf toe injury. He’s certainly a ? but was dynamic or a per target basis in NOLA. They LOVED him. He adds that “big play ability.” These other additions are minor upgrades IMO. The offense regressed last year. I’m hoping Dorsey improves this year as well. This offense is still dependent on Josh to carry them. 2 Quote
