    Offensive outlook post Free Agency

    The question is, will Beane draft more O-line within the first three picks, as it stands presently we still need to fill Edmunds spot, in FA or the draft, so it’s likely that one of those first three picks goes to the defense if no FA is signed to fill that role, plus, we could stand another WR2 level selection,  I am not so confident Beane will use two of those pick on O-linemen, which means one in the top three picks, and PS level lower picks for the line, so far we have seen incremental improvement with FA signings, which is good, it is needed, but, the O line needs more attention if we want to see improved post season success.

     

    GO  BILLS!!! 

    Unless we get Bobby Wagner or some other short-term vet, I think Beane has to go LB with the 1st, maybe wait till the 2nd. It's the QB of the D.

     

    He then better get some competition at RG and RT, but that can wait until Rd 2-5. 

     

    I'd also still like to see them add someone to push Gabe Davis on the outside. So if we can fill MLB before the draft, the focus could switch to WR

    Which position group should the Bills target in Draft RD 1 based on Bills Depth Chart as of 3/19/202

    Isn't Bates penciled in as starting RG?  I don't think they'll be moving on from Spencer Brown so soon either.  McGovern and Dawkins on the left. Morse at C. Solid backup in Boetger. I think the O-line needs additions, but not as desperately as MLB.  I'd say 1st- LB, 2nd-4th - O-line, TE, DT

     

    I wouldn't be upset with a stud WR in the 1st, but I don't think it is a greater need at this point than MLB

    Beane again showing why he is a top GM

    top GM? magician? sorcerer? idk.... sounds like OBD planted some trolls here.... he did what most analysts said he should do.  Letting Edmunds go at that price was prudent, and not letting Poyer also walk was smart. Harty's contract is a little too rich.  

     

    Where he really needs to hit is the draft, which has been his weakness. We'll see how that pans out.

     

    Also curious to see how he fills RB and ILB needs.

    Who's our slot WR in 2023, Shakir or...?

    I don't think Shakir demonstrated the nuance for the slot yet.  You've got to read defenses, feel the zones, make sharp cuts, and make sure you're in the QB's line of sight/throwing window the entire time.  It's not easy and he didn't really show improvement as the year progressed.  There is a reason they dusted off Beasley.  We need a better solution

    I honestly would be completely fine with the Bills spending a 1st or 2nd round pick on a slot WR. The slot play last year was just as bad if not worse than WR2 and I think banking on Shakir to make the leap would be foolish. Having someone who could consistently win over the middle and in the flats would bring a lot more balance to the passing game.

    Agree. There are some nice options in the draft like Flowers and Josh Downs that will probably be there in the 2nd

    Beane Doubles Down On His Belief In Davis

    But not his slot, #3 or #4 WR  

    Bringing back Beasley and him basically starting at slot was an indication where we are at that position.  That will be the focus in FA and draft.  A guy like Zay Flowers, or Josh Downs would fit the bill.  If Beane were wise he'd add an outside WR as well.  Davis should be pushed, or at least backed-up with a solid 4th WR

    TE? Darnell Washington

    As someone who watches a LOT of UGA football, Washington is neither a 1st round talent, nor a playmaker.

     

    I'd project him to us in the 3rd or later, and that would be a great grab. But definitely not a 1st and not even a 2nd.

    Lots of chatter that he'll run very well and work out well and with his size could go late 1st, despite the lack of production in college

    First thing I thought of when I saw this.

    He brings a SB winner attitude to the offense. Can groom Cook. He was trusted by Brady in pass coverage and as an outlet. He's a powerful runner, can get tough yards, but also still has some juice.

     

    He probably won't break the bank as he only wants to play for a winner and will probably take less.

    Thanks.

     

    WRT bold, hate to say it but this is where we miss Whaley. He had a knack for later LBs. Bradham, Johnson, Milano...

     

    For Beane and Co. trying to replace Edmunds through the draft means an early pick, and I'd say a 50/50 shot on hitting.

     

    I already wanted our first 3 picks to be IOL/IOL/WR, in whatever order necessary. I guess if we use the money to sign Ben Powers we could get away with only drafting 1 IOL early. Maybe have a draft of LB/IOL/WR, in that order.

     

    I dunno. I dont think it's that easy to pluck a playmaking LB from the draft as needed.

    I'm thinking WR/ILB/OL in first three rounds

    G and WR in FA

    hopefully re-sign Poyer

    We should be able to re-sign Edmunds with a hit of about $9M this year. Would need to get Wagner under that when he was set to have a $12M cap hit this year.

     

    If we can get him on a 3/$30M with a $7M cap hit this year, then maybe.

    This is the best logic.

    While I think Wagner could actually be a short-term improvement, given Edmunds age, you can spread out his guaranteed $$ over say a 7 year contract, with outs later on, so his cap next year is lower than anyone else you could sign. That gives us more room to bring in a FA WR and G.

     

    However, really we should look to add a playmaking LB from the draft. You can get fine production from rookie LBs

    10. Allen does not believe in his offensive line 

    Believes there are a LOT of issues with the OL and the Bills need to do more to help Josh Allen.   The actions of Josh Allen throughout 2022 show that Josh doesn’t trust his line, resulting him to bail on plays and not get through his position.  He implied that there could be more moves in OL this season.  

    This is the most important point.  Saw it so many times and led to a lot of hero ball plays and bad INTs.  Fix this as priority #1 and a lot will follow.
