BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'd still like to see them do a little bit more work, pre-Draft. Go after a Nose Tackle just to give that spot some veteran depth to go along with a rookie draft pick. (Guys like Gerard Warren, Ian Scott or Hollis Thomas spring to mind) Try and pick up an interior O-Lineman for the same reason. (Chester Pitts, Ben Hamilton or Randy Thomas). I think it's pretty obvious that the Bills are looking at their OT and QB issues to be solved via the Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Little Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Not a fan of the Green signing at all, but Edwards is a terrific pickup and Davis is solid. Very nice job today by the FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Green isn't a good signing the guy sucks. However I do like the addition of Davis and Edwards they are 3-4 guys who can come in and play a solid and build our D. I still think there is work to be done in free agency. We need to add another Linebacker and D-Lineman as well as possibly a WR and Interior O-lineman. A guy like Akin Ayodele would fit the mold for a depth Linebacker. 3-4 guy in Miami and Dallas can play MLB in a 3-4 and flex to a 4-3 OLB and an OLB in a hybrid 3-4 as well. The guy isn't too old he will be 31 a nice fit for what we are looking to do this upcoming season. I also think we should go after Coles he would make a nice addition to the WR core and try and find another vet D-lineman. We are far from there as far as free agency goes. Needs like NT, QB, LT, and RT are going to be addressed by the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCal Aaron Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Davis is the only one I'm encouraged by. My hope is that they didn't overpay for Edwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how you build a team, solid FA with good drafts. Nothing flashy but sound These are exactly the types of players I expected. I would not be surprised to see a few more guys like this brought in. Good solid, depth players. Players who has a history with our coaching staff and who fit into the style of play the new staff wants and the type of men they want in the room. I am still very pessimistic about the coming season, but I love the signings today and hope for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young line that this team is being built around. I just think that there were better options out there for us to pursue. The guy has been around a long time but he was never more then a decent back up at his best. Money and time could have been spent much better on getting a better player.

And don't forget teams will be picking up players from now through training camp and into the season. Plenty of time for that. Doesn't have to happen now unless a good thing unexpectedly winds up on the street like Davis did last week. Also don't get about college FA signed after the draft is over. Many ways to add players.

seadog Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I love the signings. Not flashy, not overpaid. I love Green a solid veteran RT with some good years left in him, the dude can flat out block, an upgrade over anything we've had in years. He's not the fastest or the smartest, but will make us forget the injury plagued Butler. Merideth is a solid up and comer to back him up. Davis is another solid vet, again not the fastest or the smartest but a solid tackler whom is a huge linebacker in the 250+ range, a real banger unlike our little POZ. Edwards I know nothing about, but we can use some depth behind Kelsey and Schobel because Maybin is going outside and Ellis has shown nothing.

Maddog69 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Dude, the Davis signing is to replace Mitchell who will be cut by draft day. Ain't nothing different. I don't think Mitchell gets cut this year unless the Bills pick a LB in the first 2 rounds and the Bills want to same money. We now have 3 adequate ILB's why would they cut one. Both Poz and Mitchell also could compete for OLB and add depth and flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Not a fan of the Green signing at all, but Edwards is a terrific pickup and Davis is solid. Very nice job today by the FO. I hope that Meredith or Bell step up their games this offseason and earn the RT job. Then, Green would quality depth as a swing tackle. And I'm confused. I thought we were the losers of FAcy because we didn't sign anyone in the first week? These are splashy signings but they are solid moves that should be reasonably priced. You fill needs in Facy and build your core in the draft. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his first season here, Mitchell had more big plays (sacks + Ints) than any Bills LB since Spikes' pro bowl year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking POZ to the outside as well, but they resigned Ellison. With Maybin being a big question, I don't see them moving Mitchell anywhere.

They just tendered Ellison. He is probably making little money. I always respected Ellison and for a 6th round pick, he has be a good pick. But i would be surprised if he makes the team because he doesn't fit in a 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
