Kirby Jackson Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I thought that this was an appropriate time to start this thread as it appears some new things are happening. If you were the Bills what would you do moving forward? I would: Trade the 3rd round pick to Philly for Evan Mathis Cut Urbik and Williams (basically offsets his cap number) Sign Harvin Sign Gresham Draft Preston Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If Clay starts playing games we have to be aggressive to get another starting TE.....sign Gresham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 forfeit the season. but seriously...similar to you - Gresham + TE in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Duke will step up this year he showed flashes last year, Rambo did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any luck, if we do not get Clay, the whole thing will make the Dolphins overpay for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Williams is the perfect FS for Rex's system, and IMO looked pretty solid down the stretch last season. With Rambo, Ladler, and the versatile Corey Graham I think we're pretty well set at safety.

BillsGuru4 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I have a feeling clay is out of the picture, the dolphins said today that they want to extend him. I fully agree with the op's idea, well done sir, though i dont know much about preston smith. I think we should sign gresham and draft the best available te in the second, if everything else you talked about happens. We have good back up olinemen as is. I think duke williams is the perfect ss for rex, he lays the lumber, graham can fill in as well. Im also excited to see manny lawson this year, i loved him under pettine, he was invisible last year though. Imo he is a younger better calvin pace.

I agree I was just wondering what you thought about it because you did not mention anything in the original post . I think Duke will do just fine too.

Chandler#81 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If there's one old NFL adage that seems to consistently ring true, it's 'when you Draft for Need, (TE in the 2nd), you'll eventually fail. Yes, we now really need a TE, but our picks are a real precious commodity this year, so BPA on the Board at the time is the time-tested best way to go.

chris heff Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Third round pick for a guy that's how old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Third round pick for a guy that's how old?33 and has graded out as the #1, #1 and #3 OG in football over the last 3 years. You can still get 3-4 solid years out of him. It is absolutely worth it if you are trying to win in the next handful of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Third round pick for a guy that's how old? I'd pull the trigger for a third....this year. We're in win now mode. He most likely has a good 2-3 years left. Once his play drops off, cut bait, and insert one of the guards we'll surely draft this year and next.

The weakest area of the team last year was the offensive line, and I was really hoping that the Bills would make building an elite line a priority.
