TPS Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The Bills need bodies and cheap labor to avoid having to the fill the roster with free agents every year. There are a lot of roster holes to fill. It seems to me that there is depth in the draft at WR, CB and S. They might get very productive functional guys in the 3-4 round range. I personally hope they trade down as often as it is feasible and possible to do so and acquire picks throughout the entire draft. If people think we need an OT (Right side) as I do, I don't think there is much beyond round 2 that would qualify as starter material (we already have a backup level player starting). To fill this hole, they would have to prioritize it over WR, S, CB and DL/LB and hope to fill those other slots with acquired picks further down. In a draft deep in these positions that might be doable. Under no circumstances am I drafting a QB in round 1. I just do not see the necessary talent there to justify it. That player is NOT starting this year with TT here at his salary. Trade down early and often would be my motto throughout. There are 6-7 guys that I would want at 10, otherwise I hope they trade back. I'm not enamored with taking either WR at 10. I am a Howard fan, and he's in my 6-7, but I don't think he'll make it to 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Romo is gone it sees pretty logical to bring Cutler in, take a later QB like Peterman, give Savage ample looks in camp to try to beat out Cutler, if Cutler reigns it in and plays in their system then he's a top 20 QB (he shouldn't have a problem getting the ball to Hopkins / Fuller), if he doesn't, cut him, go with Savage and you are in the same spot you have now anyway. Cutler has his warts, but it seems he raises their ceiling dramatically over any other option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I don't believe that for a second. They aren't going into the season with Tom Savage and Brandon Weeden.i heard an interview with their play by play guy yesterday. He was convinced that they love Savage and the only reason he hasn't taken the starting job already was bad luck with injuries. He talked up Weeden as the #2 but did think that they would draft someone as well. I think he's full of BS on Savage. If he was the plan all along they never would have given Osweiler that absurd contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was the plan all along they never would have given Osweiler that absurd contract. From what I've heard, it does seem there was more than a little bit of Rick Smith having some tough feelings towards the Broncos (he worked for them for 10 years) involved in the Osweiler deal. It seems pretty unusual giving a guy that much money at that position without consulting your coach or interviewing Brock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
