Free Agency Countdown - What Will Whaley Do?

[YoloinOhio]

It may be if he leaves.

I would say a team that "needs" Hughes is one like ATL, Dallas, Cleveland, etc. that has a weak DL as a whole and a poor pass rush. That doesn't define Bflo, with or without him. Bflo can pay him though and likely will because he is a really good player who makes the team better.

Was Eric Wood any good at guard? Where is Cameron Ervin going? Is he definite first round? I personally am not against drafting a center. I put that on this blog because i was thinking if Wood is any good at guard maybe we wouldnt have to look outside of the team to fill the spot.

 

Wood played at guard his first 2 years - his rookie year was cut short by injury.

 

As I recall, he was decent, but he was a huge upgrade to Hanggartner at center and he played next to Kirk Chambers then Mansfield Wrotto at RT, which may have affected how he looked. 2009 we may recall was our "anyone play left Tackle?" year which started with Trent Edwards under center. In 2010 he had Ryan "quick shot" Fitzpatrick under center which may have made him look better.

 

It's a point that we might want to start grooming a center.

very much agree with this. no offense Eric!

and this is why we lose him. Someone else needs him more than the Bills.

I really can't say because it's too early to know and the answer is too nuanced.

1-Iupati OG

2-Clay TE

3-Free RT

4-Moore QB

I don't know if anyone mentioned him but the Raiders C Stefan Wisniewski might be an option. He's only 25 and the Raiders aren't expected to re-sign him according to Rotoworld last month. I think he'd be an upgrade at C and Wood can compete for guard position...

 

I like the idea of adding Matt Moore too. I think they'll draft an RB and roll with Dixon, Fred, Bryce and the rook

i mentioned Wisniewski awhile ago, and agree he would be a great signing. I question whether he will hit FA though. Raiders have mega cap space and will likely sign him. If it's true that they would let him test the market I would be interested if I'm the Bills. Fewer injuries than Iupati, versatile, and has played on a bad OL but still effective.

I think they will make a trade for Aaron Rogers

 

Yep, it'll be Aaron Rogers

[BuffaloHokie13]

I voted for the cannonball and workmanlike.

 

I think that there will be a trade for a QB, my guess is RG3.

After that it will be an upper end Guard, but not Iupati or Franklin level. Maybe a Dan Connolly to hurt the pats* and help us.

At Tight End I think we are looking at bringing in Clay.

Re-sign Hughes.

 

Draft: (Yes, despite using our 4th on Bryce, I think we will grab a RB and a FB)

Rd2: Project QB (Petty, Hundley, Grayson)

Rd3: Best RB Available (David Cobb, TJ Yeldon, David Johnson)

Rd5(1): Tony Lippett, WR/DB, Michigna State

Rd5(2): Ibraheim Campbell, S, Northwestern

Rd6: Tyler Varga, FB, Yale

Rd7: I'm just guessing at this point

Isn't everybody just guessing or wishing.

What, four choices aren't enough for Your Nuancedness?

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Has anyone considered Odrick? If we are willing to pay something like 8M a year for Hughes what about for a guy you can play every down?

[It's in My Blood]

1. Resign Hughes

2. Sign Revis

3. Sign Boling

4. Sign Locker

[Chuck Wagon]

We'll sign Revis and bring Stevie back. They'll get in a fight the first day of practice breaking Stevie's hand and Revis's orbital bone.

[Franchiseneedsme]

I would like 5 guys for around 5 mill per. This would fill a lot of holes, protect against injurys and the FA bust factor.I don't care what 5 guys, just good dependable players. DW is good at finding guys like that

[NewEra]

Yes a position of weakness it shouldn't be a big splash to grab a position of absolute need... Big splash is a flashy Revis that the Bills don't really need but would make the team better.

I disagree. I would call one of the best guards in the game, the best OL on the market and possible hall of Famer a big splash. To each is their own. That being said, I don't think we go too hard the first couple days. Matt Moore being a possible day 1 guy.
