I'm not convinced Edmunds will be an upgrade in Year 1 though he obviously has far, far more potential than Preston. The way I see it (solely for this season compared to last season): QB: downgrade RB: slight downgrade (another year of McCoy aging) and Ivory is only a slight upgrade as the backup IMO) WR: slight upgrade (hopefully a healthy Benjamin outweighs the "loss" of Matthews) O-Line: downgrade D-Line: slight downgrade (obviously he wasn't with the team the whole year, but we essentially swapped out Dareus for Star which is a significant downgrade and improved depth) LBs: ??? As I mentioned, I'm not convinced Edmunds is an upgrade as a rookie; he's just so young and inexperienced still. DBs: downgrade (Gaines > Vontae) As you can see, I'm pretty pessimistic in the short-term, but I'm also very excited about Allen, Edmunds, and the cap space moving forwards. And I think last year's team was roughly a 7 win caliber team, so being worse this upcoming year probably equals a top 5-10 pick IMO. I disagree with your assessment of the D-Line. Last year Dareus did not come close to living up to his potential. An orange construction barrel would be an improvement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy said TANK IT.... That would give us the top 3 pic and we are looking right at 68 million under the cap... We got our QB of the future and a very young D man who may be a game changer... So I checked out some prospects for 2019 draft day... Most draft sights got us from 2 to 4 with Miami having the #1 pick and got us taking Oliver.... In 2017, Oliver had 73 tackles with 16.5 tackles for a loss, 5.5 sacks, three passes batted and two forced fumbles. The 6-foot-1, 290-pounder dominated at the point of attack in 2016, starting from his debut game against Oklahoma. All season, the freshman overwhelmed offensive linemen with his quickness, athletic ability, and physicality. He totaled 66 tackles with 22.5 tackles for a loss, five sacks, three forced fumbles and nine passes batted on the year.

IMO, unless one of the QBs surprises and plays lights out, the Bills will turn the ball over more and thus lose more games. Defense will be better, I agree. I just checked in to see if you were going to say starting 0-8 was overly optimistic. ? Well done! I agree turnovers will probably be up. I also think we will make a few more plays down the field and over the middle. Strangely, our actual record next year doesn’t concern me as much as seeing progress on certain fronts.

I think the defense is a bit better but I think the offense could be among the worst in the league if not the worst. I'm hoping some of the younger players emerge such as Zay, the offensive line isn't completely in shambles, and the pass rush improves. ...and there is at least a glimmer of hope at QB. That could go under “young players”, but it’s really the ultimate question mark. If we are lucky and get that figured out, it’s more than half the battle.

Dr. K Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Unless McCarron of Peterman plays lights out, the Bills need to know by the end of this season whether Allen is able to play. But I suppose, having invested so much in drafting him, they are committed to him whether he plays this season or not. They are not likely to draft another QB high next spring regardless.
