26CornerBlitz Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Five Teams with the Most Riding on the Combine The prospects are the stars of the NFL Scouting Combine. But don't forget about the teams watching them, who will be making franchise-shaping decisions based on the player evaluations that will be further refined in Indianapolis. Below, I've identified five teams with the most riding on the combine -- teams that are facing pressure to get the 2018 NFL Draft right by correctly answering key questions about potential draftees at Lucas Oil Stadium. Buffalo Bills The Bills' trip to the playoffs in 2017 was a feel-good story. It was also a minor miracle. Coach Sean McDermott's got his work cut out for him in his second season at the helm, given that everyone on the roster got a year older, including offensive centerpiece LeSean McCoy, who, though still plenty productive in 2017, is about to acquire the dreaded label of "30-year-old running back." Plus, there is still the matter of quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Is he the answer at the position? With Taylor carrying a significant cap hit in 2018, it could behoove the team to try to draft his replacement. With two picks in each of the first two rounds, they'll have the chance to address some major needs, whether under center (perhaps by trading up) or on both sides of the line. With a neck injury forcing Eric Wood to retire, they could look to a draft rich in centers for his replacement. Then there's the matter of potentially having to replace defensive tackle Kyle Williams, who could retire or sign elsewhere. If Buffalo is going to continue trending in the right direction, the team must make the most of this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeane Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I can't even fathom KW signing with another team. It would be very heartbreaking. Can't blame him too much if he went to a team in Superbowl contention though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
