sjjr Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 DL Depth- P.Solial, F.Alexander, C.Bryant, W.Horton CB/Nickel- J.Robinson, Verner, Djoun Smith, L.McFadden A 1-2 yr deal with M.Floyd or C.Patterson. Have to get the #2 playmaker in the draft for the passing game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowisu80 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Per NFL.com, the only free agent wide receivers left are: Marcus Easley Michael Floyd Stevie Johnson Cordarelle Patterson Kendall Wright i really like Kendall Wright; he is more of a slot, but he is good.

JM57 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 i really like Kendall Wright; he is more of a slot, but he is good. They could add Wright as the slot guy then draft an outside receiver in the first few rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 he needs to add a solid vet Wide receiver , and corner. he can go dust settlers for d line , linebacker and safety depth I do not know what he can do at tackle at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Given the amount of players under contract on this roster,Id say its obvious we continue to add to it. Regardless of our cap space,Im pleased with the additions so far.6 signings by the end of day one FA was a bit aside from the normal OBD dust settler signings. We had reasonable targets,and we were able to sign them. And were not done yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Draft is good for 2-3 solid contributers at MOST. This guy isn't wrong, we need to make more acquisitions or else this whole thing is worthless. This is not the mindset of a successful team. You need 5/6 solid contributors per draft. Whether that be on special teams or as injury replacements throughout the year, you need to find guys who can contribute throughout the entire draft. These guys are so much cheaper than FAs and building through the draft protects your cap situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single team has 5/6 per draft more than once in a blue moon. The almighty pats had 2 MAYBE 3 AVERAGE at best contributers from their last draft. Get a grip. Each draft, in my opinion and observation, the threshold goal is to get 1-2 lock in starters, and 2 contributers. Let's look at ****ty Whaley's draft from last year: 1. Shaq - decent season, understands leverage and seemed like an all effort player, high hopes. 2. Ragland - had a lot of hype surrounding him as a plug and play starter. 3. Dolph - for a 3rd round DT, contributed well for most of the season 4. Cardale - bum 5. J. Will - started slow but was decent later in the yr. TBD 6. Kolbee - TBD 6. Seymour - not half bad as the season was winding down, did fine from the slot, got beat wide a couple times, and might be a starting CB going into next yr. Maybe our GM isn't so bad...

Elite Poster Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 2015 draft with no first: Darby, Miller, Karlos (what could have been you bum), O'Leary, Steward, and Dez. That's 2 starters, 2 contributers, but one obviously self-imploded. 2014 draft. Sammy - enough said, Kuandjiao - not looking so bad anymore, Ross Cockrell (rex foolishly lost), Preston Brown (may you never play in a 3-4 EVER), Seantrel, and Cyril Richardson. That's 2 starters, and 2 contributers. Whaley is consistently adding 4 players that help this team. Just find us a god damned QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the Sammy deal, but it be what it be. His trades and FA pick ups have been good to outstanding. The hole is QB. Just keep drafting one to you find one.

DasNootz Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Cordarelle Patterson could be more than JAG WR3. If he's cheap, he's a direction I'd look. He just strikes me as a Doug Whaley type "redemption" project. Edited March 11, 2017 by DasNootz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you haven't heard of guys doesn't mean they don't make significant contributions to teams. People underrate team depth and special teams players all the time. And what happens when you don't hit on depth in the draft, well, you have injuries during the season and are forced to sign unemployed scrubs off the street (as we do every single year) because we can only find one or two contributors in the draft. Meanwhile, teams like the Packers and Seahawks are getting the most out of their drafts every single year and only signing cheap FAs or that one guy that may get them over the hump. Not filling 5 holes every off season with overpriced FAs. Who perennially spends the most in FA? The Redskins, right? How has that worked out for them? Overpriced guys year after year after year and in cap trouble year after year after year. Your definition of "solid contributor" is just so fanlike and you are the one who needs to step out of fantasy land and take a good look at how real organizations are run.
