What is the plan at DT?

We are back to our same circular argument that we have been in before
 

Your team has a chance to win it every year for the last how many years?

 

 

And they will have another chance this year

 

That’s all you can ask

 

Firing the management that gave you all those chances is not a successful plan

You’re likely going to see a DT somewhere in this draft

Calijah Kancey DT from Pitt. @ 27....Compared to Aaron Donald and John Randle.  Then if they can't grab one of the top Lbs in the draft, they trade a 2024 2nd or 3rd for Patrick Queen from the Ravens.

I've heard that story before

So we absolutely should stop drafting those players because it didn’t work out one time
 

Still not a fan of taking one in the first round give me a nasty blocker instead

I think they'll draft a guy.  Take a wait and see approach on Jones and Settle.  If they have good seasons, likely try to re-sign them.  Draft a guy to replace Oliver next year.

Don't know what the rules are on moving a player on a 5th yr. option, but a draft day trade sending Oliver to his hometown Houston and grabbing a couple of high picks between the 3rd and 5th rds. wouldn't surprise me....especially if they can land Kancey.

 

I would prefer to have them both though( for 2023). Pairing Oliver and Phillips and Kancey with Jones would be my ideal rotation. Not impressed with Settle.

Not to mention that at 13-3 they shouldn’t be a liability but they are. Between the OL and the DL I don’t know what’s more of an embarrassment. Spending an absolute ton of money and resources in the DL for them to be as terrible as they are, or spending almost no money or resources on the OL and expecting something out of it.

The Bills have D Jones, Oliver and Settle all in their final year.   Then they have a bunch of practice squad guys.  So not one guy under contract for 2024.   I don't hear a lot about DT as a need position, it is.  They should be looking in the draft to get younger, they should extend Daquon Jones if they can work that out.  Thoughts?

We can’t get rid of Oliver fast enough.

That's why I always kind of laugh about the BPA-based-on-need thing. 

 

An argument can be made needs are: 

LB (Mike)

DT (contracts expiring)

Edge (Von Injury, AJ's last year)

Safety (older guys, Hyde coming off injury)

WR (added a bunch here, but could add more)

TE (only two on the roster and no true #2)

OL (Depth and people to challenge starters)

 

So non-needs: 

QB

Corner (though an argument can be made here with Tre not looking amazing)

RB (though an argument can be made, Harris 1 year deal)

 

BPA-based-on-need....every team pretty much has needs everywhere.

This———-^
Please god, do not draft this guy. Undersized just like Oliver. Compared to Donald. Lol. He should just be compared to Oliver. He looks on tape more like a DE than a DT and that’s probably where he ends up. If not it’s a shame. People just need to realize that Donald is a freak and another like him likely won’t be seen in a very very long time.

Did you just mention position versatility? BTW Poona Ford is shorter and has made it this far. Also every stat including physical is said to be identical to Donald.

The guy has a list of awards a mile long. I'd take a John Randle all day long.

[Nextmanup]

Plan: Draft DT with first pick in draft.

 

 

[TheFunPolice]

I want a giant, mountain of a DT

 

330 lbs is ok, but 340+ is ideal.

Cool so we will have one DT, sounds good.

[dorquemada]

I was thinking, high motor undersize DL in teh draft.  wait, make that two of them

 

then whomever is the 6th worst CB or S in the draft class in the 3rd

 

then draft whomever else, beane and mcd will be too busy basking in the afterglow to worry about the rest

I’d take Poona Ford all day long. The height doesn’t worry me. It’s the girth (that’s what she said). He’s shorter than Kancey but has 40lbs on him. That’s hilarious actually for a DT. And it’s not like Ford is a monster at DT. He’s jag. 
 

no to Kancey please

I’m not sure how you get that from my post. This year we have one Oliver and next year we don’t. What’s confusing about that?

I’d be shocked if we don’t draft a DT.  Space eaters can be had late.  
 

I would hope that we can extend daquan asap-

Did you read the OP?  Same is true for Jones and Settle.
