True,, but still need to QB who can make the throws.

For what to pay them some amount of signing bonus so they can be cut the end of August. Barring an injury the five listed below are all on the team. Add in two TE's who even though Kincaid didn't live up to expectations last year are still threats that need too be taken seriously and need to be game planned for. Also have RB's that can catch passes and can run the ball behind a very effective O-line. Teams with star QB's don't need star WR's as they QB can make the WR look much better than they really are.

One of the two isn't needed. Right now with not many WR's on the roster and a glut at CB think a better chance they keep Shenault, but if an experienced vet is signed at WR, could see it going the other way too. AJ may may initial 53 then week 6 when suspensions end, he gets traded, or maybe a suspended guy gets traded at that point, though hard to imagine a team trading for someone who just came off a 6 week suspension. Think AJ's future comes down to what they do with the two suspened players, could see one getting cut in Augest too likelt then AJ is safe..

The one thing that surprised me a bit as we didn't take anyone, looking at the roster, the position group that to me is the thinnest is LB

In 2013 the Bills were a bad team so much easier path for a rookie to look good. The only player that will even likely see the field enough to have a chance to win award is Hairston Barring injuries the odds are likely higher that Jackson won't even be active the first few weeks of the season than he wins RofY

32 teams all passed on him. So he likely signed with a team that he felt had spots on the roster open for him. I'd imagine most players drafted in late rounds 6 and 7 wish they weren't drafted so they could sign with whatever team they have a better shot at making. What are we going to see when camp opens, that he showed up? Maybe in about 3 years we'll see who was right.

Except Milano was actually drafted in the 5th round. Every team in the league passed on Dolac could just mean he's not that good. If the Bills had signed him would have been a nice feel good story, but it ends there. The team is signing who they view as the best players, not listening to what emotional fans think.

That's why this board is filled with supposed experts as everyone here was draft eligible.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Looking at t heir roster including the two suspended players, they have 12 D lineman likely to make the roster. Usually they will keep 9 or 10 on the roster. The two being suspended may save Jones or someone may need to slip on a banana peel during training camp to create a spot.

Article in the Athletic the other day talks about how Carter may likely end up playing a lot of 1T

That' what's funny. So this thread is generally full of praise and how we got a guy that should have been picked higher. But the thread on our 2nd round pick has about 90% of the responses ripping the pick and the trade how we gave up too much, this guy would have went much lower, etc. All these arm chair GM's must be right about this as it can't be that actual full time GM's have a better sense on when and where in the draft players will actually get selected.

Kind of wonder did Deion ruin his kid? Did his kid really need a HC who would have told him, you're not good enough to play QB in the NFL. But maybe you could make it as a DB or WR. But with daddy as the coach he lets him play QB and it just ruined him. Recall Jim Kelly wanted to go to Penn State, Papa Joe said love to have you but to play LB. Now in that case Papa Joe was wrong, but if it was Papa Je's kid, maybe he'd have let him have his way.

Don't recall this, just read it in an article today that apparently one of the knocks on Tre White was also poor tackling. He turned out pretty well in that area.

Recall too how in the first half the Dolphins ran the ball a lot and well, but once the game got close and Bills took lead, all Marino started doing was throwing and they went downhill from there. The game at that point was still close enough that they could have still ran quite a bit too. That was why I was never too keen on Marino as he tended to try and play hero ball too often. PS The fact that this post started last Friday and is still on first page tells me the number of posters here today that were around and followed the team that long ago, 33 years, must not be very big!

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but here's the value for the Bills picks. Some other source may have slightly different values, but probably overall when looking at potential trades, things won't change all that much.
