I do think o-line has been neglected, but right now outside of RT, we are pretty good. DL isn't bad either, though Kyle is long in the tooth.

Frustration is recycling cb when it isn't the way to build a winning team. A rookie contract is a lot cheaper than 65 million for five years; like nobody gets that? Everybody gets that. Would Lattimore be an improvement on Gilmore? Probably. Will it set the team up for short term or long term success? Not really. As Fridge pointed out, we have tried this so many times, it's remarkable folks are still on-board with it. The Taylor contract is a bridge qb contract. A bridge only makes sense if you have a developmental qb on your team. You don't sign a bridge qb to draft a qb at the end of the contract unless you have a day one starter in the draft. Unlikely Bills are going to get Darnold, folks. Then what? Draft Mahomes and develop him. You can get a good db later in the draft.

Want: Mahomes or Watson Don't want: Any cb other than Lattimore Dark horse: John Ross Think: a cb besides Lattimore

You're not correctly following his train of thought. He traded down in the second to get a late third or fourth. If you draft them, they will come.

He's a great talker. It's a perfect job for Rex. Don't know how much he'll like all the adulation for the Pats* though.

I concur. No bueno.

You can put the back-up qb in and do the victory formation on this dialogue.

I understand why OBD let him walk. I'll be less understanding if they spend the #10 pick on cb.

I usually don't quote longish comments, especially when it is two posts above. This deserves the repeat. I hope, without much confidence, they are open to a qb early this year.

Thanks for this. Folks go off without knowing any details.

Yep, but you know what they will probably do? Take a cb to replace the first round cb they just let go. LOL. Don't like your politics, but that's spot on funny.

So many to choose from.

Hard to disagree with this assessment. The cb cycle thing has been tried enough to be proven the wrong strategy.

Nice post. I hope Taylor makes a leap forward as his advocates anticipate. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it happens.

Well, that would be a nice signing if it happens. I'm going to remain skeptical for now.

It is possible I have simply inferred that folks realize development is a risky and necessary stage. Oh well.

I really don't think anyone believes drafting a qb in the first round is a quick fix. Almost any drafted qb will need development and the kind of infrastructure you allude to. I have some hope for Cardale Jones, but I would still like to grab a qb early, though our needs at wr and cb may preclude that.

I honestly have (perhaps unfounded) optimism that Watkins will be healthy. That kind of injury often needs a second surgery, but the foot is usually stable afterwards. Davis or Williams plus Watkins turns wr from a question mark to a relative strength, especially if we get decent #3 production from one of the new fellas. Of course, qb may still be an issue. Yeah, sorry. My real life is pretty stressful right now.

The comment I responded to talked about HC and QB, so I indicated we don't know what kind of head coach McDermott will be.

Analysis is right on target. You resign your A players and C players. The Bs go elsewhere. Too early to say what we have in McDermott. Pretty sure we don't have an elite qb.

I read, but cannot recollect the source, that the Bills and another team (Jets?) were interested in Glennon, but when the salary went beyond 8 to 10 million per year, they dropped out. I think it's clear OBD valued Taylor at a reduced price only, whether one calls that surmise or fact.

So, now the snarky and mean-spirited thread asking whether any team had even contacted EJ about a try-out can be replaced with snarky and mean-spirited comments about how every team needs a camp arm.

Sheltered and game manager are not mutually exclusive. I agree Wentz struggled latter half of the season. Eagles picked up some nice FA WRs. We'll see.

I was in favor of a late flier on the kid, but the maturity issues are really concerning. He doesn't seem Jim Kelly brash and a little rough around the edges. He seems Johnny Manziel entitled stupid who still doesn't get it.

Those damn Russians.
