How can you not put OL #1?  We lost 3 starters there this offseason.

 

It's not number one because I'm not as panicked with the O-line situation as many are.

 

The coaches felt good about Ducasse and Mills on the right side, they brought in Bodine and also have Groy as the potential starting C, and Dawkins is solid at LT.

 

We know why Ducasse got the starting RG slot, it's because it was believed by the coaching staff that he best fit Rick Dennison's zone blocking scheme. John Miller is not trash by a longshot and he is still on the roster. Brian Daboll could find Miller more valuable to what he wants to do as offensive coordinator. Miller could always regain the RG position, while a more athletic Ducasse gets flipped to the LG spot. Maybe Miller is moved to LG and Ducasse continues to man the RG spot. 

 

I'm not thrilled with either Ducasse or Mills and the Bills could upgrade, but they both were part of that rushing attack surge that caught on late in the season.

 

I think the Bills should to add to the line in this draft, but I don't think at all that it's a must that they go OL on Day 2.

Rank the Bills position of need in the order you feel is greatest regardless of how much sense you feel it makes to the next person.

 

Let's see if the Bills next Day 2 and Day 3 moves coincide with your analysis to some degree.

 

 

 

Mine looks this way:

 

1. DE

 

2. RB

 

3. OLB

 

4. WR

 

5. TE

OL far and away. We have lost 3 starters. 

WR we need at least a #1...

This OL with either Allen or AJM is going to be a complete disaster. Its going to be a movie we have all seen before here at OBD.

And how do you know that?

 

What is it about AJM and Allen that will cause this OL to be a complete disaster?

1. WR

2. OG

3. H-Back/TE

4. OT

5. OG

6. RB

 

For the “H-Back/TE” I would really love an offensive weapon. Something along the lines of either a Troy Fumagalli if they went with a traditional TE (I wouldn’t expect one to be take until the 5th round), or a guy like Jaylen Samuels or Kalen Ballage. Samuels especially intrigued me, and with the amount of running backs available this year, he could slide. Could be a nice receiving option out of the backfield for Allen in the future. In a league that’s becoming more and more about matchups, he’s a guy that could provide a mismatch.

Well for starters both tend to hold the ball too long. 

 

Allen has not played against this type of talent. He is going to have an adjustment period and having a poor OL and no WR is going to make things even more difficult. 

 

Just for starters.

OT, Interior OL, WR, TE. Let McCarron take his lumps while JA learns his technique and NFL defenses. When Allen takes the field I want him protected and with enough targets to keep the opposition guessing. We'll be lucky if we get a 4th starting caliber playor. I'd like them to draft multiple OL and maybe even a P or CB or OLB.

Anyone not immediately putting O-Line at the top of the list are simply just not thinking. 

It's OL first and foremost




A distant second is OLB, followed by WR and RB. 

Sorry, but people claiming WR is top are not considering that having even a decent QB (not a captain checkdown) will make our current group of WR's seem at least tolerable.

4.  WR, DE or TE (but, I don’t think we can get the caliber we need at these positions this late in the draft.  Need a difference playmaker not a JAG)

 

5.  LB

Yeah...if you say so.

 

The Bills just selected a D-lineman ahead of an OL with its first Day 2 pick in case you missed it.

That’s why I have OL/WR. Both units are really bad. The Bills could throw a rock and find an upgrade in those 2 areas. Nothing is even close to OL & WR (in no particular order).

 

 

Yep.    

 

WR is a totally abysmal situation and a doggy of a year to be looking for a potential #1 or a #1A in the draft.

 

OL they have about 10 veterans under contract but Jesus Christillo gonna' have to turn into Dante Scarnecchia to morph that unit into something that can protect McCarron IMO.

hence why o-line is the "REMAINING NEED"... D-line is good to go now! in case you couldnt read the topic!

So because a D-lineman was taken, O-lineman should automatically shoot to the top of one's priority list lest they're charged with 'not thinking'? 

 

If you can read I have RB next on my list...not OL.
