    Micah Hyde and safety depth discussion

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Think he announces his retirement at his softball game like others have suggested.

     

    Kinda think we are done adding players at safety. Edwards, Rapp and Bishop will be the main guys back there this year. I think the cap space we come into on 6/1 will be used  in-season (injury replacements, trade deadline acquisition) rather than to add another safety

    K J Hamler the new speed threat?

    It would be great if KJ did well enough to make the roster. Based on investment, he is below Shakir, Coleman, Samuel, Hollins and Shorter. He is in that group with Shavers, Isabella, Cephus basically fighting for one open spot or to knock Shorter out. And that’s without us signing a more established FA at some point, or only keeping 5 WRs on the roster if we go heavier packages and wanted to keep a promising OLineman.

     

    Basically, low odds he makes the 53 at all, and even lower odds he is the speed threat teams worry about for the Bills. Prove me wrong KJ.

    The difference is Josh makes players around him better. Look back most WRs we've had have had their best seasons with Josh at QB. Tua needs better players around him to be better.


    What if we have Josh who makes players better and surrounded him with better players 🤯

    Matt Harmon is THE guy when it comes to WR analysis. I posted his video on Coleman earlier. There were LOTS of people that thought he was polarizing. That’s not an opinion. People talking about his 40 time are not people that thought it was controversial. People talking about his lack of separation are the ones that had an issue. 
     

    I don’t care if he’s a 4.5 guy or a 4.6 guy. I care that this is what his route tree looks like:

     

     


    The good with Harmon’s analysis is that he does a pretty good job isolating the WR and their route. So if one WR has a good QB getting them the ball or a bad QB not getting them the ball, it can account for bad stats.

     

    Where I think RP is a bit flawed is that he basically solely looks at how a player gets open. So for example he - and a lot of people - loved Ricky Pearsall because he does run good routes. But it doesn’t really take into account that the boy is light, struggles with physicality through the catch and as a runner. It also doesn’t weigh for age where Pearsall has had 3 extra years of life to develop his route running than say Keon Coleman

     

    So it’s a good way to tell you how good of a route runner a player is right now. But not exactly what they will become and how they are in other aspects of being a WR. In general, Harmon’s RP is very good though.

    Logic's Buffalo Bills Draft Review -- The more things change, the more they stay the same

    Brandon Beane, speaking at his post draft presser just now, said "The cap is the cap. There is not a receiver trade coming". He said it point blank. So...I think at this point a free agency addition is far more likely.


    without a trade, this is the list of FA WRs available

     

    https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/year/2024/status/available/position/wr/sort/contract_value

     

    Slot guys Hunter Renfroe and Tyler Boyd. Washed up Michael Thomas, Allen Robinson and OBJ. Field stretchers only MVS and DJ Chark. Just don’t see much improvement that route…

    Did we do enough at wide receiver?

    Due to how we handled the draft, I'm thinking they may have some other plan for one more receiver spot. Maybe a trade or post June cuts.  We will see. There is still a lot of time before training camp. 


    Yea it’s the only thing that makes sense, unlike Beane to leave a position so thin

    Well I have to say after weeks of talking about it, I feel the draft underwhelmed a bit both due to the Bills picks and talent pool as a whole. I guess last years draft was a tough one to follow up with the Kincaid/Torrence start. My favorite picks are SVPG and Javon Solomon. I do like we at least took some swings at building the offensive line in front of Josh after losing Morse and Bates. 
     

    I hope we figure out something to add some more talent to the WR room before the season starts. I shudder at the idea of seeing Shorter or Mack Hollins start if someone gets injured.

    It's gonna be a tough road but could they not do:

    Dawkins, Brown, Van Demark, Collins, Grable

    McGovern, Torrence, Edwards, Van-Pran

     

    With Collins having some flex to play guard too?

     

    I know they signed Will Clapp and they have Doyle coming back from his 103rd injury but Beane could always do one of his fliperoos for a day 3 pick for one of those guys in camp. 


    Alec Anderson too. Like Gonzo said above if Grable can show enough versatility to cover both tackle spots maybe he can get one. But the Bills have two years invested in developing in RVD and Anderson.

    I really like RVD but the problem your going to run into with him is he only is a Left Tackle. If you keep Van Pran which is expected, and he is only a Center, than you have two backup lineman with no flex. If Grable can show he can work both Tackle spots that could honestly push RVD out of a job or a trade candidate.


    Let’s hope it works out like that and that Van Pran seizes the starting Center job

    I actually don't mind that. Grable had a really good week at the Shrine Bowl. I never got back around to his tape, but I spoke to a guy who was there that week and picked him out. He is their type as well, high RAS, athletic but raw. If I am correct I believe he is a converted tight end. Hope they can sneak him onto the 53 because I think he would get stolen off the PS. 


    Yea I’m not sure the numbers game will be in his favor for the 53. Was a QB and then a tight end. Has good tools to develop if we can hang onto him
