Virgil Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I’m confused. What other positions are there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have a good number of picks next year (already have 9) and a ton of cap space to fill in the rest of the gaps. I think it'd be a mistake to not get the compensatory picks.

Logic Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It may not be sexy, but the interior offensive and defensive lines. C, RG, 3T, NT. Oh, and we need two quality linebackers and a speed receiver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not but I think that they will try to plug these holes because they need the draft picks. I don’t think that the Bills want to take a step back. I believe that they want to build on this momentum. The Davis and Ivory signing support that too. My guess is that they continue to try to upgrade the holes on the roster by throwing some money at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those moves also support that they are trying to avoid losing compensatory picks to bring in talent now. There are other ways they can bring in talent this year.

I think that it will be a factor but not a deal breaker if that makes sense? Edited March 10, 2018 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it will be a factor but not a deal breaker if that makes sense? I understand but this is a process. I don't think they want to spend all of their money this year until they know what they need to put around the QB. Philly waited to spend money and trade for guys until year 2 once they knew what Wentz utilized most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Richardson. A FA and/or drafted QB needs a WR who can stretch the field. Richardson can and is also good at making contested catches. With Benjamin healthy and Zay over the dropsied (hopefully), that would be a nice top 3.

They can add anyone that they want over the next 2 years. They know the strengths and weaknesses of the team and will do their best to plug those holes. As an example I think that the Bills know that the pass rush needs to get a lot better. There aren’t a ton of options to do that this year barring a trade. That is something that they address next year. At the same time they need a space eater at DT. This is a good time to get that guy. They will work to check skill sets off the “needs” list.

BADOLBILZ Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 First order of business: Trade Patrick DiMarco to the Raiders for Jihad Ward to add to the workout warrior DE list..........but mainly to get rid of DiMarco, who Gruden would LOVE.

Agreed that this class is heavier at certain positions but I don't know if they will be jumping on the compensatory train or not next year. To me, that is a great option. More talent and still all the cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that the Bills are thinking that’s a great place to upgrade their pass rush. This year is a terrible year to have those needs. At the same time this QB class appears to be well ahead of next years so they are trying to get their guy now. It’s like the “reverse EJ strategy.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 With Taylor's salary gone the Bills can afford Dontari Poe a space eater next to Kyle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time this QB class appears to be well ahead of next years so they are trying to get their guy now. It’s like the “reverse EJ strategy.” My thoughts are that they get as many guys as they can that don't go against the compensatory picks, they get their QB through the draft and whatever picks they have left use to fill some of the needs. We have 9 picks this year in the first 5 rounds. Even if it takes a massive haul to trade up, they will still have a good deal of picks to add talent to this team. They've already added 3 players. They can pick up guys that don't count against the cap this year that are still good. They can also be on the lookout for more player trades. I just think that we can get a small ransom of draft picks next year for our free agents that leave. We already have 9 draft picks next year and I'm sure some of those picks will be traded but adding another 2 or 3 picks would be huge in this rebuilding process. That along with a lot of cap space next year would be just what the doctor ordered for a team close to tasting a contender. This is the formula that the Eagles used. Gaines could get a nice pick, Brown and Mathews could also bring in something. We will see though, I'm excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two would cost closer to 20 combined IMO I'm sure McDermott will ask Reid about Poe and not sure he'd give a glowing report.I'd go after Star or Daquan Jones before Poe.

Dadonkadonk Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Andrew Norwell, G Carolina Ryan Jensen, C Baltimore NaVorro Bowman MLB Bring back Glenn, sign these two and they have the best OL in NFL. That is how you win with a rookie QB, Shady, and Ivory. Get young on defense through the draft. Add Bowman for vet leadership 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 16 hours ago, thebandit27 said: Sign DaQuan Jones at DT and Anthony Hitchens at LB. Trade a 4th or 5th round pick for Travis Benjamin or Martavis Bryant. Sign Mike Mitchell at safety. Re-sign Leonard Johnson and Kyle Williams. Call it an offseason until street FA season starts June 1st Mike Mitchell?? What's wrong with Poyer/Hyde?? I know depth at the position is a need, but get one that's more economical.

How much do you think a safety that's over 30 with zero pro bowl appearances cut by a team with a serious need at the position will cost?
