njbuff Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 If Alexander is starting at one of the LB spots (along with Milano), it could still be 10 of the 11 starting spots are solid. Even though Alexander’s coverage skills are shaky, at best. MLB (the missing starter on D) is just as important as QB as to finding a starter in this draft. Of course health is a BIG issue, as it always is. Almost all the projected starters have had health issues. If most of the projected starters stay on the field, they will be even better in year two of this regime and knock the total yardage against down per game. Thoughts?

/dev/null Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 On paper, the Bills have 9 solid staters. Red staters? Blue staters? Deep staters? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 the secondary is solid the front 7 is a mish mash of trash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 We still have to be worried about the Defense. The best unit last year was the DBs. They might be the ONLY good unit. But, life is going to be hard on them if we don't solidify the front seven, particularly the LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is starting over Alexander doesn't that mean they are likely viewed as a better starter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYfan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The Bills definitely have to find a Linebacker early in this draft process. Another DT would be helpful, but not as vital as a fast coverage LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 MLB is our biggest hole but things are far worse on offense. You could argue the McCoy, Benjamin, Clay, Dawkins are the only solid staters, um’ er’ starters on offense. The rest are unproven or borderline.

oldmanfan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 MY thoughts are what you see now is not anywhere near what you'll see opening day. You have a draft and you have guys that get released this summer for cap reasons etc. still to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised to see Navarro Bowman sign a 1 year deal in Buffalo after the draft if the Bills fail to fill the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I still have one that my grandfather bought in the 1970s. A tag on the front touts "Dual Power Source Technology" (cord and 9-Volt battery). Still works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 If just defense, (1) Lotulelei, (2) Hughes, (3) Milano, (4) White, (5) Davis, (6) Hyde, and (7) Poyer. They are solid starters. Williams, Lawson, Murphy, and Alexander are not too shabby, but I'm not sure you can call them solid starters at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Right now, the roster is more expansion team than playoff team, IMO. The draft will plug some holes, but this is a rebuilding team with major weaknesses at QB, OL, WR and LB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 What is solid vs good vs bad? I think fans of a team always overstate average guys as solid, like a Milano. If he was on MIA we would not call him solid. I think White, Hyde, Poyer are easy solid players. Davis is a ? given he was out last year. All three of our LB's are questionable. Not many around the league would call any of them solid. Hughes has seen better days, Kyle is on the tail end of his career. Shaq has been a disappointment thus far. Then Star has seen his play decline as of late. So how many of them are solid? Could be all 4 or could be none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
