We were totally unable to stop the run at times. And for the year, we got no pressure on the passer. Fixed I believe, with the Dline additions. Plus, our backers were too slow in coverage. Fixed with Edmunds and Milano moving to a starting role. Only material loss was Gaines and I believe he is at minimum offset by Davis. So I think defense will be much, much better. Offense - we will miss Tyrod's running and refusal to turn the ball over. I think Dabol/McCarron/Allen can make up for that with a more adequate passing game. Zay should be materially better this year if his head is right, and Benjamin should be too if healthy. I wonder who plays center? If it was Groy I think it would be a good bet for a push with Wood. I noticed no drop off two years ago, and Woody was getting older. Groy is in his prime. If it is Bodine, who knows. I also think Richie may be a loss, but not so sure if i is Groy who takes his job. So I guess I expect the offense to be somewhat better, on balance. Overall, I think the roster is much better.

Trusting the crud out of the process - they have earned it!

Don't believe Bills wanted Cain over McCloud -- Beane and McDermott are more than willing to move up to get people they actually want. Something ain't right with him I suspect, and we can't know it.

I think Ray-Ray surprises us.

I will choose to trust the process here. Supposedly also "thickly built" in the lower body so that he can not get destroyed despite his size.

I meant did not make sense when I saw 4.56 and his size. Typo - mean to say he appears faster than his timed combined time and it therefore may well make sense. Seems he may have very good speed and change of direction abilities.

Pick did not make sense. He ran poorly at the combine for whatever reason. Ran at this pro day and allegedly scouts told him they had him in high 4.3's or low 4.4's. Has elite change of direction skills. One article I saw said "not the next Tyreek Hill after all" - so at least somebody thought he was. He is a gadget runner/pass catcher and return guy. Interesting piece. 4.56 made no sense, but if he is 4.40 it does.

Or Ray-Ray McCloud!

Okay, what now? Brown and Cain still there --

4 sure

needed some depth at CB and S so I am okay with these too, but one more DB and Beane is going to have to tie down McD!

Gunner on ST on highlight clip too

Never heard of him before, but watched some highlights and saw him almost end one WR's life!

Check out Valdes-Scantling for later on

Checked Wadley based on another poster. Sounds interesting if he could beef up a bit: "Great athlete but what is his value? He's pretty dangerous as a pass catcher but I don't know if you can trust him to protect your quarterback. He's a skinny rotational running back with some juice. He'll test great but I still don't know if his value is higher than the third day." - AFC regional scout I used to kind of like the Cardinals, but I now hate them until Rosen retires.

I do think now is the time to pick BPA who they believe projects to being pretty good. Using these picks to plug holes on a prayer is a bad play, IMHO. Better to plug holes after draft with vets because they are what they are -- use the picks for hoped-for future starters. At this stage I would make need a much lesser priority.

And we have some money left --

I agree with poster who said we will address offense in free agency. Bet we sign a vet guard and WR.

Thanks. We could use a guard! Impaler scares me.

I trust our guys, especially when it comes to DBs. We knew Hyde had talent, but wo thought EJ Gaines and Poyer were going to approach what they were last year? Not me.

Has he been any good? Last I heard he was considered disappointing?

AJ is human sacrifice

I kind of sense a Beane trade up coming soon.

We did use three picks on offense already, in fairness. Just that it only produced one player (but a SUPER important one). Just said Crosby has concussion concerns.

I am okay with it, needed a backup CB. Sounds like Gaines a bit - hits in the running game, good with the ball in front of him, concerns he can't find it in the air deep downfield. In our zone he won't have to!
