Overseas Bills Fan Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Time to update after the flurry of activity: QB: All approach above average which, the way this offense is being built, is more than enough. No real frontrunner, but the competition will be fierce. IT is a need, but not glaring. Next year's draft should take care of it if there isn't a massive leap forward from EJ. HB: Shady, Fred-Ex and either Brown/Dixon. Pound that ball hard down their throats. No need. FB: Felton will knock people out of their jock. Great signing. No need WR: Watkins, Woods, Harvin, Hogan, Easley. One more would be nice for depth. Goodwin might not make the team. TE: Lost Chandler. . .signed an immediate upgrade in Clay. Decent depth behind him. No need anymore. T: Glenn/Henderson/Kouandjio. . .I'm happy with that rotation. A little more depth would be nice. G: Williams/Richardson/Incognito. . .Again, I'm happy with this rotation. But I do believe the 2nd round pick should be a Guard. C: Yahoo is reporting Wood/Urbik as the depth at Center. This is acceptable. DE: Hughes/Mario/Wynn. . .just sick here. DT: Dareus/KW/Charles. . .even sicker. RENEW DAREUS!!!! OLB: Bradham/Lawson. . .I can accept this. Depth here would be good. MLB: Brown. This is now a weakness if Spikes is not resigned. CB: Gilmore/Graham/McFumbles/Robey/Brooks. . .Love this CB rotation. Nice depth. S: AW/DW/Rambo/Meeks. . .Love this Safety rotation. . .Nice depth too. K: Carpenter is solid. P: Schmidt is solid. GLARING NEEDS to deal with in the draft: G: Need another Guard. Hands down. MLB: Only if Spikes is not renewed. QB: Not a glaring need, but can be looked ad. The team has improved on paper by leaps and bounds since the first day of free agency. The Defense is still solid. The offense has been upgraded. Fill the need at Guard with a 2nd round pick that is good to go on opening day and this team looks, on paper, to be a 10 - 13 win team.

MDH Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Brown is a weakness but Henderson and Williams on the OL are acceptable? Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Brown is a weakness but Henderson and Williams on the OL are acceptable? Ugh.I think RT as a need gets overlooked. Everybody says guard and then we're good but you could make a case that Urbik is a better player than Henderson right now. I'd like the both of them to be backups.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 To say there is decent depth at TE is ridiculous. No need? So Gragg, grey and a college basketball player are adequate backups? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsDK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Regarding the defense situation, isn't it a 3-4 base now? Can't Brown and Bradham base both of the MLB spots? Maybe it is just me, but I think it would be a waste to put Dareus at NT. I would really like to see Dareus wreak havoc from the DE position. So in my mind, NT is a need in the draft. I think that our Oline is a bit of a question mark. Glenn and Wood can play very well. Henderson, Kouandjio and Richardson has only played one year, and may or may not step up under Roman's guidance. I agree with you that we should take an OG in the second round(unless something crazy happens, like signing Mathis or a good player somehow drops to #50) But nice post by the way, I enjoy reading posts like these, and see other people's view on the Bills roster.

eball Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Regarding the defense situation, isn't it a 3-4 base now? No, no, and no. It is a hybrid scheme that will show multiple looks and formations -- there is no "base" defense. Hell, they will be playing nickel probably half of the time.

BillsDK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 No, no, and no. It is a hybrid scheme that will show multiple looks and formations -- there is no "base" defense. Hell, they will be playing nickel probably half of the time. Okay, I thought that there was a 3-4 "base" defense, and then sometimes using hybrids. What kind of formations do you think that Rex will use? I am all over Google right know searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I expect to see a lot of nickel, because that's what teams play now and that's what we are set up to do. We are short at least one OLB and we need a NT if we want to play the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Oline TE QB prospect LB Dline depth Basically BPA unless its a RB, WR or 4-3 End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I think we still sign a guard in FA, draft LB or safety first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tintonfallsbillsfan Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 nose tack is going to be a sneaky need/want. I would not be shocked it they go there in round two. There should be good value and well Rex will take as many toys as you can give him Carl davis anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsDK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Carl Davis would be nice, but I don't think he will be available at #50. Doesn't Rex like his NT to be mammoth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I think what he means is the depth of the position not Brown as a player That's exactly what the OP meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Okay, I thought that there was a 3-4 "base" defense, and then sometimes using hybrids. What kind of formations do you think that Rex will use? I am all over Google right know searching. I think if the Bills are going to have any "typical" defense it will be the combination of Mario, Kyle, Dareus, Hughes, Bradham, Brown, Gilmore, McKelvin, A. Williams, D. Williams, and Graham.

Homey D. Clown Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Matt Cassel is a band-aid on a gaping wound. This team's #1 need is a franchise QB. EJ Manuel has shown that he is exactly the player he was at Florida State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsDK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Read an article saying that in one season, Rex lined up with 3-4-4 37% of the snaps. 3-3-5 19% and 1-3-7 17%. So your right, he does like to mix things a lot more then I thought. But I still believe that a mammoth NT I desirable in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
