All the rookies this year and last can progress quite a bit. Players who don’t see the field much now could actually grow into starters next year. Most teams only have a handful of untouchable building blocks to their team. But we have a lack of it all. Minimal young talent, minimal older talent, no real building blocks as Allen and Edmunds are both unknowns. When you purge the young talent you did not draft and replace with older guys and nobodys thats what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want their own young talent not Whaleys. They want to coach their own guys up from scratch. Most of our vets will be gone next year. That’s the youth movement season I think for sure.

1billsfan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 5 minutes ago, ngbills said: Who are the building blocks on this roster? I see only: QB - Allen we hope WR - Can Zay be a solid #2 or #3 LT - Dawkins we hope RB - Can Miller turn it around DT - Phillips can be solid LB - Edmunds we hope CB - White is legit S - Hyde has a few years s - Poyer maybe That is not a lot It actually is, if Josh Allen turns out to be the real deal. Then you also probably have a high draft pick coming up in the 2019 draft as another big building block. You probably do need a couple of players to develop into quality starts sometime this year (OL, WR...) to start a gradual upward trend of the team getting better.

GreggTX Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Got to be the OL because that's where we have the least talent and it's also where there is likely to be the least talent available in FA. We still are going to really need a WR that can take the top off the defense to make the best use of Allen's arm strength and open things up underneath for shorter routes, possession receivers and the run game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 ...for the little I know, my first order of business would be to address coaching spots where there are some significant weaknesses.....don't really need to go into details because many here know "who and where".....why would I want these deficiencies involved in the decision making processes relative to draft picks and FA spending?.....not in my book...

PlayoffsPlease Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 1. Center 2. Tackles 3. Guards 4. Slot receiver 5. High end tight end 6. Kyle Williams replacement. I would be happy to spend the entire draft on offence. Winning games 34-31 is fine by me. The teams strength is Josh Allen. Amplify that as best we can.

Lv-Bills Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Every single offensive position other than Allen at QB and maybe the LT. It's disgusting what the roster looks like, especially considering that they should give a rookie QB some talent around him so he won't be ruined. We don't need a WR. We need at two WRS. A #1 and a #2. Benjamin can go, and I can't figure out why the hell Holmes is ever on the field. He adds nothing. We need a RT, RG, C, LG for sure. We need a real TE, and let Croom be the #2. We need some running backs that are in their low to mid 20's and don't cost all that much. Shady should be traded before the deadline. The roster talent on the offensive side of the football, on this current team, is by far, the worst in the NFL. It doesn't even matter who gets hurt, because you are just plugging in some other schmuck that also sucks to take their place. Awful.

Búfalo Blanco Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The Bills need help everywhere, particularly offense... but I'll agree with most and say OL first, defensive front 7 second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckyBoys Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Assuming we finish near the bottom, we should be able to land the best OT or pass rusher available or possibly swap picks and fill two holes. I'd be ok with a lock down corner as well. Tre and another player of that caliber sounds pretty good to help the pass rush. Hoping a hyped up qb or 2 or three emerge. Lot of teams will be looking at qb Lot of older guys nearing the end (Roethlisberger, Eli, Brady, Rivers, etc) Add wr and OG in FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 i would love to see a heavy influx of talent on the offensive side of the ball. a couple o linemen, a blue chip wr that can burn, maybe a big, fast, athletic te. defensively, maybe a linebacker that can cover and a pass rusher. and ideally, if we are drafting at the very top, we can find someone that feels they need to spend big money to move up to grab a guy. if we could parlay our top pick for potentially two or three solid players...i'm all in on that.
