LOLB- Porter
LILB - Poz/Mitchell
RILB - Rolando McClain
ROLB - Maybin
I'd be ok if this was our LB corps for this year
I like McClain too, but I don't see that happening.
As for Porter, I think he would be a good short term solution (how old is he?) and might be valuable as a mentor like you said. I have no idea how much he would cost though.
-
Count me in on this. Especially with Gailey's history of success with scrambling QBs.
Great point. Think Kordell "Slash" Stewart
-
A switch of positions would probably really help Hangartner. I think Wood could handle C duties as long as there is no lingering problems from his injury.
I think Wood was drafted with the intentions of becoming the C eventually. Hopefully, the injury doesn't interfere with this. Hangartner is still valuable as a backup, which we could always use, that is to say if he isn't moved to G. Does he have any experience playing G?
-
Good to hear that Wood is progressing nicely. Who else thinks he transitions to C at some point this year? Whether its Day 1 or halfway through the season I think he's gonna replace Hangartner.

Here's the problem. There are FOUR (4) Nose Tackles in this draft, and here's where
we have them slated to go:
RD1: Dan Williams
RD2: Cam Thomas (definitely available)
RD3: Cam Thomas (possible)
RD4: Torrell Troup
RD5: NONE
RD6- NONE
RD7- NONE
The demand for these four NT's is stiff: Buffalo, Denver, KC, Miami, and Pittsburgh list NT as a P1, P2 or P3 need. There isn't enough to go around. This means that there could be a run on NT's, moving Dan Williams up, Cam Thomas into the 2nd, and Troup into RD3. I'm okay with drafting any of them, but taking Jamal Williams only signals we aren't taking a RD1 Nose Tackle.
If I had to guess, JWilliams ends up in Pittsburgh, DWilliams ends up in Miami, we get Cam Thomas, KC stands pat , and Denver gets Troup
If we were to somehow get Williams, I would want to target another NT later in the draft, which would have to be Torrell Troup then.
If Williams ends up elsewhere as you suggest, I would like Cam Thomas in the 2nd.
-
Scott, on the other hand, played well at SS, and unless his injuries are worse than we know, he
too appeared to be a shoe-in for a tender.
As dgrid pointed out, wrong Scott. I believe he is a UFA anyhow.
-
Klopfenstein and Hamdan not too surprising at all.
As for Incognito and Scott, I would have at least kept Incognito for depth/insurance. Scott not so much, he didn't impress me last season, but any help on the O-line would have helped. I just don't understand why they let 2 O-lineman go.

Here's what Im thinkin:
we ship- Whitner, 2nd pick, 5th pick (or something like that),
balt sends us- Gaither, Smith
no idea if that's all possible or feasible, really.
I have no clue if thats possible either, but am inclined to think not.
I am interested BTW to see if Kyle Williams can bulk up. He is still really young.my 2 cents...
I completely agree with this. I believe that KW will continue to get better and surprise some people.
-
Yes, he does, but I am not sure if what you said is allowed. As in, changing the round given because a player is added. The NFL rules are so quirky, anyone know?
I didn't suggest changing the round, that was another poster, dgrid I think.
Anyway, I wouldn't be so quick to give up our 1st round pick.
-
-
It's official. He was released
Awesome.
Do you have a link? -
I believe that is the point of tendering them, seeing as how they put a round grade on them. Essentially saying, "Hey, if you want em, this is what you gotta give us."
I haven't kept up with this, so Gaither has a 1st round tender on him?
Give this man a blank check to sign here. Gaither, Smith and Jamal Williams would be an awesome offseason.I would agree except it looks like that would mean we lose our 1st rounder which I definitely don't want.
-
If this is true, he should be the first guy we target once FA starts. No doubt this would save a higher draft pick.
We should still draft a DT but not with our 2nd pick like it looks like we might now.
-
I wouldn't be opposed to this. If Nix likes him and Gailey can work with him, he's worth the pick.
-
So, Ellison was tendered. Big whoop. I don't see why people are making such a big deal out of this. Sure he may not be starting material but like others have said he does play with heart and is a decent backup player. Tendering him is actually smart because now he has some trade value and if they don't deal him he can be kept as valuable depth and/or used on special teams.
Personally, I don't LOVE the guy but I don't HATE him either and I don't see where people are getting this feeling. Like stated before, he was a 6th round pick who has played well. He's not a stud, but he is worth something.
-
What is up with all the ND stuff. They suck. We sucked last year! Doesn't make sense you want us all to suck together. I like Toby Gerhart but I like Lynch better. Him and Jackson are a great tandom why change it up. And if you want Clausen in the first why would you get Tebow late if he falls? I am just saying.
Just because ND didn't have a stellar record doesn't mean that Tate or Clausen are any less of players. Personally, I like Golden Tate, not sold on Clausen though.
I also really like Gerhart but I don't see the Bills justifying drafting him unless they deal ML.
-
The word when they made the offer was that it was part of the deal, and the only way he was going to leave Pittsburgh. The GM in Pittsburgh is almost as young, and not going anywhere. Buffalos offer was the best option for him cause of Nix's age and that they wanted him as the 'GM of the future"
Ah, okay. I wasn't aware of Pittsburgh's situation, but it makes more sense now.
-
I can think of a couple passes I wish he would have dropped
Tell me about it
-
Fully agree;
Bulaga is the most NFL-ready.
Campbell is the young physical phenom with impressive combine who "could" be the next Jason Smith. Sound like Maybin?
Davis has the weight, power, arm width but is more raw than Bulaga--possibly more upside.
I suspect at worst 1 of these 3 will be there at #9.
I love this analysis. I think the Bills need the guy who will be an immediate impact, which is Bulaga. Anyone of them has a good shot of being a good LT, but if we get our choice, I would want Bulaga.
-
Personally, I've never heard of the guy before. But this article speaks highly of him so I wouldn't mind at all if the Bills at least took a look at him. If Schobel retires and we can't sign a decent OLB in FA, OLB will be a priority in the draft for sure and this guys sounds like he would fit in well with our needs.
-
The whole reason he signed with the Bills was because he was told he will get the position when Nix Retires. He is basically there to work with Nix and learn a little more/gain some more experience and then get the job
That's good news. I basically figured that was the plan but hadn't heard anything concrete.
-
Please tell me when you have ever seen this happen with any team.
Sorry if you didn't catch that hint of sarcasm. I know how hard that will be, that is why I want the Bills to stay put and draft their LT.
The Bills might be able to get the Lions pick by trading their first and ML to the Lions. The Lions could then give up Maurice Morris to help them get AC. That's the only way I can see this playing out. If Buffalo gives up a slew of DP's to the Lions I'll be really PO'd.I would be PO'd as well. I just really don't like the notion of moving up, but that's me.
-
Trade up. So let me ask this....when do we get that Franchise QB? You expect us to have a top 2 pick next year? If we are even worse than this year and have say the 7th pick next year, it still isn't enough to get a 'franchise' QB. So at one point do you pull the trigger and trade UP and get one?
IMHO... you do so after the O-line is set, then you get your guy. I think that the Jets are a great example of this. Not only did their great O-line help Sanchez but it fueled their running game as well, taking some pressure off of Sanchez.
So, maybe next year if we feel better about the O-line then we trade up and get our franchise guy. (a la the Jets)
-
Houston could definitely use another RB like Spiller to take some pressure off of Slaton, so I agree with Astrobot that that's a bad move. And I also don't like that Miami gets him
Bryant probably will go too early...how funny would it be if Oakland took him?
:lol: Plus, I like that we are getting Bulaga

Could be useful in a one-year contract to warm the seat for Wood and mentor him as well.
