boyst Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 QB - Taylor - no upgrade needed, but keep options open HB: - Shady/Williams/Gillislee/Heron/Dixon - trade bait for one of them. FB - Felton - why trade him when he is one of the best and very cheap? If you can have the best sports car out there for 1/1000 of the cost of a private helicopter, why not have the sports car? WR1 - Watkins - we traded two first rounders for him!!! WR2 - Woods - no need to upgrade Woods, just upgrade WR2 if possible. I'd like to see Woods come inside and work inside alternating with Watkins there. Slot - Hogan - upgrade the slot, not Hogan. TE - Clay - uhhhh, forget someone? TE - Gray - would not mind having a big, tall target if O'Leary still sucks. RT - Henderson - Upgrade would be nice RG - Miller (no upgrade needed) C - Wood (no upgrade needed) LG - Incognito - big bully. LT - Glenn (no upgrade needed) LE - Mario (probably will be cut unless something is done so UPGRADE) - hope he stays. DT - KW (no upgrade needed) - old and washed up. DT/RE - Dareus (no upgrade needed) - lazy, smokes fake weed. OLB/RE - Hughes (no upgrade needed) - high motor flop. ILB - Bradham (iffy, shows good then bad so possible UPGRADE) - He's not an ILB. He's an OLB. Playing WLB or Jack is ideal. ILB - I have no idea if switch to 3-4 who would be here. Tarpley looked good in limited action so UPGRADE) - Brandon Spikes. OLB - Lawson (retain, no upgrade needed) - WLB, no upgrade but draft a young guy to work in for reps or Tarpley CB - Gilmore (no upgrade needed) - he thinks he's elite... SS - Rambo/Graham (no upgrade needed) - see next FS - AW (no upgrade needed) - not 100%, go Safety in first 3 rounds. CB - Darby (no upgrade needed) - why did we draft another DB? K - Carpenter (MASSIVE UPGRADE) - lets see what happens in camp P - Schmidt - (no upgrade needed) LS - Sanborn - (no upgrade needed) - He's no Adam Linger We can easily go in to the draft as BPA. PR/KR - UPGRADE ST Gunner - Easley (no upgrade needed) LB, OL and WR look to be our needed. Let's get it done and upgrade this team for the long haul, OBD.

Punching Bag Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Bills need PR/KR upgraded; the Bills used to have some dynamic kick returners who needed to be defended against going the distance and I do not see that on current roster even if starters start on special teams.

Agree on most of all these, I still think we need to get a legit "brandon marshall" build WR2 and put R Woods in the slot, upgrade Grey cuz O Leary will probobly still suck, upgrade both ILB spots and keep bradham but upgrade there too, and of course draft a DE or S in the top 3 picks, somehow pull a rabbit out of a hat and upgrade big time at RT so we can run and pass to the right witout TT running for his life, also if theres a good QB available pick one up too. Shadys run style doesnt fit Feltons blocking style so trade him or do something cuz i saw him wiff so many times i cudnt understand how he was rated the best FB in the league.

Manther Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Bills need PR/KR upgraded; the Bills used to have some dynamic kick returners who needed to be defended against going the distance and I do not see that on current roster even if starters start on special teams.Imo or my guess I feel like Crossman doesn't like the boys to return kicks and punts. Does anyone know the % of them returned vs fair caught or kneeled in the last three years vs the previous year or two? If I am right we just need a punt catcher like Wade had in Watson. You failed to mention some other positions: Special Teams Coach (Crossman)-Upgrade needed (Why is Marrone's incompetent flunkey still here?) Asst. Head Coach, Defense (Rob Ryan)- Upgrade needed (if the team needed a large anthropomorphic being for a mascot why not just borrow Grimace from McDonalds?) Defensive Coordinator (Dennis Thurman)- Upgrade needed (already had our fill of Rex's lickspittle) Lmao I also agree and realize it's not happening. Crossman vs Rob Ryan in who has the most seasons in the bottom 5 of the League at their roles. I think they are both over 10 years! Which is amazing how if someone performs like that as a DC or ST coach they usually don't stick around that long. How do they have this Teflon? And, why are we only breaking dubious records?

Let's get it done and upgrade this team for the long haul, OBD. While I agree with most of your choices, that is 9 slots for 7 draft choices unless someone plays a duel role on offense or defense and ST. We have no money for free agency, so we're not going to meet all of these needs. We have to hope we land on two undrafted free agents as starters. This is where Whaley's team earns their money. Anyone can hit on a 1st round pick. Hitting on 3rd and 4th round picks like Seattle has done for the last several years is what helps to build a championship team.

Chandler#81 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 We absolutely need UPGRADE at QB. Love me some TT, but tell me again what our record was when he didn't play. I'm fairly certain we'll be drafting a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you're worry is when TT doesn't play, doubt the draft is going to help much for another couple of years unless there's an Andrew Luck out there you can get with a 3rd round pick. More likely need to find someone like another Kyle Orton. If you're drafting a guy, then he's to maybe play in a couple of years. We absolutely need UPGRADE at QB. Love me some TT, but tell me again what our record was when he didn't play. I'm fairly certain we'll be drafting a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) QB - Taylor deserves his opportunity as he's certainly earned it, but the Bills need to hedge now. A rookie with upside and an inexpensive vet are needed to fill out the roster. HB - Shady. Looking good. Maybe some tinkering at bottom of depth chart. FB - What's wrong with Felton (I'm asking seriously)? Very low priority even if upgrade is needed. WR1 - Watkins. Looking good. WR2 - Huge need for a big, deep threat opposite Watkins. Please no Harvin. Slot WR - An upgrade would be preferable, but Woods can handle the job for this season if needed. TE1 - Set with Clay. TE2 - An upgrade would be welcome, but (again) not a top priority. RT - Upgrade needed. RG - Upgrade needed. C - Looking good with Wood LG - Incognito needs re-signed in a big way. LT - Glenn needs re-signed or replaced with a competent player not on roster. (I'm just going to copy and tweak the rest:) LE - Mario - A quality replacement needs found if he is released (as is expected) DT - KW (no upgrade needed) DT/RE - Dareus (no upgrade needed) OLB/RE - Hughes (no upgrade needed) ILB - Bradham - I expect him to move on so an replacement will be needed. OLB - Lawson (retain, no upgrade needed) CB - Gilmore (no upgrade needed) SS - Rambo/Graham (no upgrade needed) FS - AW (no upgrade needed) CB - Darby (no upgrade needed) K - Carpenter - Odd that Carp had such an off year. If not injury related an upgrade is needed. P - Schmidt - (no upgrade needed) LS - Sanborn - (no upgrade needed) PR/KR - UPGRADE ST Gunner - Easley (no upgrade needed) A change to more of a 3-4 would change things a bit so I'll kick that can down the road. Some major work needs to be done and I just don't see how the Bills pull it off. Too many needs, too little cap space and too few players on the rise to fill holes. If I'm Whaley, offense rules the day. I fix the OL as best I can - including retaining our left side - and add that big, fast WR2. I do what I can to provide short term help on the defense and make them the priority next season. Edited January 28, 2016 by BarleyNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
