sllib olaffub Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 As of yesterday Tony Washington was still available - the rookie free agent who had a second or late 1st round grade... I really can't believe, considering our particular need, that we haven't gone after this guy. Imagine this late getting a potential lock starter at LT, with our young interior... we could go into next year just needing that QB spot, and being able to trade whatever to get the best one.

Adam Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Even looking at St. Louis. They went QB , OL, OL in the draft. Obviously they know that in order to turn it around they needed better protection for their biggest position on the team. I don't know why we can't get that through our heads in the front office. If you have a stellar O-Line at least you have more time for your QB to go through reads. But having a great line is nothing if you don't have someone who can deliver the ball to receivers. I agree with Nix on the fact that we may find that we have a QB that can get it done with what we have but not if he's laying on his back or has people in his face before he even gets to the second read. We should have taken Okung! Oh wait....he was taken...... We should have taken Williams.....oh wait- he was taken and got his QB killed last year..... We should have taken Davis.....oh wait.....he was taken and plays like a third round player Maybe what we should have done, is draft Wang in the first round, so he could be a franchise tackle.......

silvermike Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I believe that any RFAs are no longer eligible for offer sheets. You can trade for them, still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Kelly Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hell, Mike Gandy would be an upgrade for us at LT, RT and/or Guard. He would be a great signing for a veteran presence and for his versatility and experience. I hate to say it, but your right. We need some guys with game experience and versatility. I mean Langston Walker could be a back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 All we can do is wait and hope someone in the Bills org wakes up and realizes just how weak the LT position is, if they were to get one decent player that grades better then Bell I know I'd feel better about the upcoming season. No other position is as important because he protects the QB's blind side, the Bills can get by with sub par play from any other position on the offensive line and still win. Because sub par is all they currently have on that line. 3 months to go and my biggest fear is we wait and watch and this staff pulls a jauron ...and other teams get the pick of the litter of FA LT's... and the bills end up not signing anyone just like last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGB Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Gandy, Mike T UFA 6-4 316 9th Season ARI TBDReyes, Tutan G UFA 6-3 310 10th Season HOU TBD Bring 'em back! Duke Preston knows how to get to RWS...but the Bills will likely not get serious until they see what they have with Bell coming off a torn ACL...here is what rotoworld has posted: The Bills plan to keep fifth-round pick Ed Wang at left tackle, where he played as a college senior at Virginia Tech. "He's got size. He's got intelligence and he's got left tackle ability," said GM Buddy Nix. "He can pass protect." Bills quarterbacks will be in trouble no matter if Wang or Demetrius Bell wins the left tackle job. Bell is coming off a torn ACL. Wang lacks ideal length (6'4", 33 3/4" arms). It's early, but Buffalo looks like the favorite for the 2011 No. 1 overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygskin36 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Barron, Alex T RFA 6-7 302 5th Season STL TBD Brown, Jammal T RFA 6-6 313 5th Season NO TBD I like those two along with Gaither... I'm very interested to see what happens here.. I'll be shocked if they go into camp with what is on the roster right now... If Butler didn't retire, I'd feel differently, but.... yea... you know.
