I think Bates is more and better than you think. Hard to say for sure, but that's what it looked like to me. And they could certainly draft a guy who is C/G flexible and could move in there when needed. Like I'm saying, if Bates is penciled in as future C, then I would like to see him get a lot more work this summer at the position. Maybe Edwards spells him a lot as 1st team RG (I'm assuming Bates is still at RG). That would make me happy. Quote

It was apparent in the beatdown they laid on us at home. We did indeed beat KC, but we had Miller. They got better throughout the year. Second half of GB on, we regressed badly. Im not bullish on the Bills next year but maybe they prove me wrong. I can only hope. 1 hour ago, Thurman#1 said: And that's fair enough too. Same with everyone, really. But him a bit more than most.

billsfan89 Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 I will reserve judgement until the draft is done. Brown and Davis could easily see competition via high draft picks. As far as Oliver I don’t see anything wrong with sticking it out with him in a contract yet esp if they can draft a DT in the mid rounds to develop for a year. Quote
BananaB Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 Having Gabe and Spencer not perform to expectations aren’t as big of deal as what’s going on with the defense. Sure it sucks because their weaknesses showed, but the guys we drafted for the defense are contributing even less than Gabe and Spencer. They were higher picks too. Problem is the mistakes on D are forcing them to neglect the O every year. Josh Allen is amazing, we know that and they know that. He can hide a lot of weaknesses that McD can’t and McDs weaknesses are apparent in the biggest games. Quote

Do you really think that a rookie is going to challenge either of those two for a starting spot though? 1 hour ago, McBean said: KC and Cincy are ahead of us.

But with top care from therapists and a whole off season, he should be good to go. Edited April 7, 2023 by Jerome007 Quote

Very possible either could be displaced by a rookie, likely? No but drafting players high up at those positions does show they aren’t trying to rely on them. Quote

IMO it would be a massive upset for a rookie drafted at the bottom of round one to unseat Davis or Brown. Quote
