RPbillsfan Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Looking at the draft and undrafted free agents and the current roster make-up does the board think we need to add any available free agents. I would like to look at three positions: LB OL WR I'm wondering if we will bring in Navarro Bowman for a visit. He would add experience and help Tremaine Edmunds development. I would also bring in Jabhari Evans to add experience to the interior of the offensive line. Lastly, I would see if Dez Bryant has the type of skills remaining to add anything as an outside WR. Since we have money for maybe two of the three after June 1st, who would you readers of this post recommend? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddiegoofball Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 O-line depth, LB depth. It's hard to say until we see who's cut June 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnCoke11 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Vetern WR for sure will be added before training camp I’d imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 guys, we're most likely rolling with what we've got on the OL. But we are going to add a WR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I predict they add some help on O-Line, when someone average to good gets cut... It’s the biggest need for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The offensive line is going to be better than people think. Losing Glenn will be wash, he hasn’t played much in the last two seasons anyways. Richie was on the downslide of his career, this would probably have been his last year on the team. Wood was an average center at best. WR is our biggest need. Give me Jeremy Maclin please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Seeing as AJ could quite possibly flame out by Week 5 with Allen being rushed prematurely onto the field, how about a speed burning WR? Gotta have someone who can take advantage of Allen's arm strength and keep defenses honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Wide receiver if a solid vet interior lineman gets cut that would help I think they will be shuffling depth linebackers on and off the roster all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I actually think they may stand pat at WR unless they can get what they feel is an upgrade on a cheaper 1 year deal. It will be after June 1 though. I think they may add another OL player after OTA's and Mini Camp. Same with the LB position. I believe they want to see what they have in offseason workouts and go from there.

richardb1952 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 OL is definitely a big question mark, but at least they will have a whole training camp to sort things out. They appear to have good depth. Bills could use a real speed guy but I have confidence in Benjamin and Jones as starters. Looks like Bills will have adequate slot receivers available. I also look forward to what Streeter might be able to bring to the team. LB is a definite need. Bills barely have three starters and no real depth. At this time the Bills are placing a lot of trust on the rookie Edmunds and Milano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Humber, Milano, Edmunds, Lorax and Neal is adequate although we could use another body. I don't see us adding a WR, we drafted 2 and signed 1. Benjamin is a legit #1, Zay and Kerley are good #3s, although we could use a #2. OL is going to get Allen and McCarron killed, we need massive reinforcements, really bad unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying their replacements are incapable...but they are unproven. I have to respectfully disagree. With a new OC and more of a power blocking scheme I think Miller is back in play. He handled his benching professionally, I have to think that counts in McBeane's book. I think the change in scheme, being a good soldier last year, and his improvement from his rookie to 2nd year was measurable. I think Miller will do everything he can to regain a starter role. He is also entering the end of his rookie contract. I think Miller will give it everything he can. Teller is a mauler type prospect and the NFL is loaded with starting OGs drafted in rounds 4-7. I like Cogs a lot, but he was starting to show some decline in play. Ducasse actally graded out to average on PFF by year end. He is insurance in case Teller isn't ready or McBeane is not down with Miller. Bodine has been a 4 year starter at Center since he was drafted, for some pretty good Bengal offenses. He also has never missed a game. That also means he was McCarron's starting C. I think that was one of the more sneaky tactical moves by McBeane this off season. Groy is there to compete as well. Wood's absence the year prior was hardly noticed (surprised me) when Groy took over. The inside run game actually improved from what I recall. T is worrying. Glenn did play 5-6 games last year, but his injury definitely hurt his play. Dawkins did ok, but I'd like Buffalo to improve LT so Dawkins can slide to RT where he was drafted for. That might have to wait till next year. Get a good LT in the draft or with the big cap relief to protect our new QBs. No one is a Mills fan at RT, but there is Newhouse, who has started 70 games and is a swing tackle, to push him and add some depth. Lastly McDermott has been on the PS for a year or so, and is huge. Maybe stashing him on the PS will pay dividends, or at least add depth. A third starting calibre LB, or a WR with some speed seem bigger issues at the moment. Kaelin Clay, Rod Streater and Malachai Dupree will have to try to fill that role. Edited May 9, 2018 by RocCityRoller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNubbins Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 OL followed by WR. LB if we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I would take a shot on Navarro Bowman. I think that you could have a good front 7. WR & OL are equally bad but I don’t know of any sure upgrades (besides a declining Dez). I’m not sure throwing bodies at those areas makes them better. They need talent not more guys. I’d consider a trade in there if possible. Maybe Shaq Lawson for Corey Coleman? Seems to make sense for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offence does nothing, other team comes down and is either stopped (resulting in a punt) or scores (resulting in a kick off) where the return guys can shine and return for a TD or field position for a FG? That is until a team solves this and everyone goes for it on 4th from now on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If Donald Penn does get cut in Oakland because they drafted Miller....I hope we pick him up so we can have Penn and Teller on the same line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr8billsfan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 WR is a huge need. The Bills need another skilled WR opposite of KB. Andre is a RZ target. Zay is a slot. Kerley is also a slot, not a reliable #2. The two we drafted will be lucky to make the team. I'd be happy taking Dez (at a prove it deal), Maclin, Kamar Aiken, Decker (not a huge fan), or Mashall.

Erik Pears was here till 2015 and he was starting material... he even started all 16 games for the Chargers after he left there is always usually gonna be a hole on the line... at least if it’s Mills again he has 2+ years starting experience We would all love to have a great RT but the problem is there are only about 7-10 of Those in the league ...
