If we draft a TE we can likely find a FA plug in at WR that makes it less essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 I agree with this - though there is complication - We still need a TE if we draft a WR. If we draft a TE we can likely find a FA plug in at WR that makes it less essential. Yeah I don't disagree with too much although it's so hypothetical to not be much use. Availability of players in certain rounds (players falling), values, etc make this exercise pretty difficult. I also agree that the team needs to continue to add significant weaponry to the offense although if a stud O-lineman were available at greatly reduced value, that would have to be considered too. In fact I would say that generally the Bills have reached a point in talent threshold that they could start placing more emphasis on Best Player Available and less emphasis on need.

Saint Doug Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Who's going to throw the ball to this WR/TE? Thad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I also agree except for the rb part. Can snag someone later say 5th round like the Rams did with Zac Stacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent threshold passed? Didn't you see our record this year? I don't think our success will result from some minor tinkering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Who's going to throw the ball to this WR/TE? Thad? That brought some memories back from the days of yore. "But, who's going to throw him the ball?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Who's going to throw the ball to this WR/TE? Thad? Maybe we could trade for your boy Nassib? Talent threshold passed? Didn't you see our record this year? I don't think our success will result from some minor tinkering. I did see our record. I also watched the games. So I take it you think the Bills should emphasize need over best player available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we draft a TE we can likely find a FA plug in at WR that makes it less essential. I asked this in another thread but got no response. Is there anyway Jimmy Graham hits the free agent market? Saints are $8mil over cap. Graham would solve both the TE and big WR problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_wag Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 he forgot marrone's number one need - special teamers!! there are going to be some head scratchers in the middle rounds, you watch if this team is serious about winning they need to address the OL in free agency aggresively. playmakers in the draft, trenches in FA.

Bills have the money, stranger things have happened, like Mario Williams for example, but I hear you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was disappointing. The Bills had good special teams previous to this season, the new regime thinks they've upgraded the talent, and yet special teams gets worse? And then Marrone says they need better "core special teamers?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It's rare that a TE or WR goes in the to 10 ... Not unheard of but makes you wonder if the Bills do a deal to get additional picks again. Hard to say as it depends who is there at the time of the pick.

Because of the strippers ?Desirable ? hardly sir . we dont have any solidity at the quarter backing position whatsoever. sp for two reasons no . we cant afford him and we cant make use of him. devils advocate here It's rare that a TE or WR goes in the to 10 ...
