Kirby Jackson Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 While I don't agree that this will be the way that it looks opening day, I think it is worth looking at. IMO, number 2 RB, a depth corner and safety are still needs. This assumes the LBs that they drafted can play.

Canuck204 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I would agree with all of that. I think we could use a LB that has coverage abilities and has started in the league before. Here's who I'd be targeting as added depth: RB: Ronnie Hillman LB: Sio Moore CB: Alterraun Verner S: Jairus Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not too worried about #2 Rb as long as JW fixes his fumbling problem and then add in Tolbert of course. Beyond that I'd agree that we need one more guy each at Safety and Corner, Last, I'd like to see a better option at backup DE brought in. Not sure what's out there right now...

TPS Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks, as I was just about to look for their depth chart--already tired of the Whaley firing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan3434 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Pretty spot on. Only two corrections I would make is1.) I don't think Preston would sit behind Humber. Although I'm sure we'll be in nickel on 2nd and 3rd downs so Seymour will probably be on the field more often than either of them. and 2.) The QB depth chart is probably going to be different on whom you ask. I don't think Yates will make the cut. I'm also not sure if CJ will make the cut, especially second string. He was brought in by the prior administration and not too sure he fits the mold of Dennison's offense (not that TT does either). Hopefully they tailor it to better fit TT. Videos I've seen though, I would say Peterman is almost more mobile than CJ. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I also think we need a veteran coverage LB desperately. A backup safety with range and experience. Another TE. Another decent backup LB. And a backup edge rusher. A few of those should be easy to fill with cuts. We need to spend the money saved by letting Gillislee go on a solid LB, in the Zach Brown or Lorax pickup.

Here's who I'd be targeting as added depth: RB: Ronnie Hillman LB: Sio Moore CB: Alterraun Verner S: Jairus Byrd Ronnie Hillman is a great idea, particularly since he kind of duplicates McCoy's skill set - outside running ability, works well as a receiver - although obviously at a lower level.

Yates not only will make the team, he might be the starter by the end of the year. He knows the offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's who I'd be targeting as added depth: RB: Ronnie Hillman LB: Sio Moore CB: Alterraun Verner S: Jairus Byrd Ragland, despite the talk that he's slow, can cover , trust me, his instincts and quickness will make him a good coverage LB. Preston was great find coverage in his 1 year in the 43..The 2 rookies both sound like they can cover as well, though they may need some time. RB I definitely don't see as an issue. We added a bunch. Got J Williams as well. Safety scares me a BIT but you can't have every positional group filled with quality talent. Overall, I like what I see, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I must have been asleep when we picked up those new name DBs at safety. I was quite surprised we a didn't address the position in the draft. Is this position more or less secured with these acquisitions? Not exactly household names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 There were rumblings that we haven't fully closed the door on Aaron Williams yet. He wants to play. He could come back on an incentivized prove it deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I think we got a real good #2 RB in the making with Williams, I think he's the future here once McCoy is done. I saw Williams last year....he is no McCoy...by any stretch anyhow. He looked plodding to me, a power back but not quick. Don't see a backup to Shady on the roster myself. I don't want to ever see J Byrd on the field here again....he is slow, slow, slow............he would be the second coming of Drayton Florence Edited May 1, 2017 by bigK14094 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Feeling a lot better- assuming Sammy stays healthy- about our receiving corp this year. Should help Tyrod. There were a few games last year that we really had a bunch of scrubs linning up at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I think we got a real good #2 RB in the making with Williams, I think he's the future here once McCoy is done. I know he played hurt but I didn't see anything last season to make me think Williams is a future starter. I didn't think he even looked like a viable #2. I'm hoping his sophomore year is more successful but I don't share your confidence. I'd be looking through FAs for a RB if I became the new GM. I'd also be looking at safeties and LBs. And if any veteran RTs became available, I'd be all over it. Edited May 1, 2017 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaikotic Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 the punter they grabbed as UDRFA might kick the Schmidt out of our Punter...Austin Rehkow out of Idaho...so I might change that on his chart....I don't think the depth order will look like that for QB's...wouldn't be surprised to see Peterman as #2 after the 53 is set with Yates and CJ battling for #3...I think you'll see Micah Hyde and Tre'Darious White in the P/K returner mix...they grabbed that RB from UB as an UDRFA - Jordan Johnson - his video didn't look to bad so he might squeeze in there...S is where my concerns are the most...I don't think they have anyone in depth to start if Hyde and or Poyer go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wonder why there's virtually no discussion about June 1st Cuts. Every year, name players -still producing- are let go by their teams for Cap concerns, making them eligible to negotiate with any team. We could fill some of these agreed upon perceived weaknesses there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 This draft was loaded at RB and we did not select one. Leads me to believe they are okay with the current depth chart at the position, or could be looking towards cuts that may come down. Don't forget MG was found on the waiver wire by buffalo.
