  1.  

    Some of these guys will be back though and with the cap space we have we'll have room for at least a few outside FA's.

     

    I just don't see the point of trying to build exclusively through the draft especially with so many picks next year but obviously Beane is determined to make his mark with his first official draft as Bills GM.

    Considering he knows infinitely more about football I'll go with his plan vs. yours.

  2. People keep talking about all these needs we have, but you look at some of the guys we have out there that are contributing and doing well and I wonder how many truly critical needs we have.

     

    Position by position:

     

    QB: I think they take one day 1 or 2. If TT gets them to the playoffs he earns the right to come back, but I think Peterman will be very competitive and adding a rookie only helps.

     

    RB: Not a popular thing to folks, but they could benefit from taking a RB high if they see another Shady like guy. Can you imagine if the kid from Penn St is available.

     

    TE: An absolute need? No, unless they let Clay go for cap reasons. O'Leary is pretty good and Thomas is coming around. Would be an area to look at though.

     

    O line: A tackle is a need, and I could see a round 1 pick here. Dawkins may move inside, and Groy as well.

     

    D line: People say we need a DT, and if Kyle retires then it becomes a priority. But the guys we have in thee are playing well. We could use an edge rusher to complement Hughes,: Lawson is a Phil Hansen type, sets the edge well and is great against the run.

     

    LB: Some say we have to get two LBs but I'm not sure I see that. Brown is playing pretty well. People say McD wants his Kuechly; well wouldn't any team? And Humber and Milano look to both be starting caliber LBs. Don't see this as a really high priority unless they see a guy theyr eally like up there.

     

    DB: We look really good at safety with Hyde and Poyer, and now Elston showing he has something. CBs are pretty good. Maybe a third day thing since you can never have enough CBs.

     

    So I'm not sure I see an absolute need anywhere. Maybe RT, and I think that plus adding DTs may be a priority as McD seems to want to build from inside out. No question in my mind they take a QB high. And if they took a stud RB high I wouldn't be shocked.
