BillyWhiteShows Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I often find myself thinking that a certain role player would be perfect on the Bills. It’s not usually an All-Pro or even a standout player. But a guy who flies under the radar as a role player that would be ideal for the Bills. My choice is Kenyon Drake in Miami. I feel he is criminally underutilized in Miami, as bruiser backs like old Frank Gore or Brandon Bolin get more carries than Drake. I doubt Miami would trade w/n the division but man I would love to see Drake in Buffalo. I would make Drake the feature back in the Bills offense. He could carry the load at RB and could help Allen in the short passing game to beat the blitz. who are some other options? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 anyone that doesnt suck. The bar is set really low so that should put a lot of players on the radar lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 So this is about players who are not only under the radar, but under contract for reasonable salaries and not on the trade market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Cole Beasley would be a nice pickup. Nothing flashy, nothing spectacular, not a game breaker but a solid veteran receiver and a fantastic fit for our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Chris Conley. I don’t understand why I think he can be huge, but I would love to get him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNootz Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Pat Mahomes - I haven't read anyone talk about him coming here - completely under the radar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Here's a list on Offense... Chris Conley- agree with Virgil on this one Jamison Crowder - WR - Redskins - 5'9 but stout. Does not drop very many. Good speed. Jesse James - TE - Steelers - Love this guys toughness- 6' 7" target; reliable hands. Mike Person - G- SF - 30 years old but has only really played the last 4 years. He can fill a hole at RG for the next 5 years Ja'Waun James - OT - Dolphins- not very durable but really good feet and mirror ability Ty Nsekhe - OT - A true frickin road grader at 330 lbs The Bills will sign some higher profile FA but these guys are all process guys and contributors. Upgrades over the depth we have and can compete for significant playing time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Don't even know if Tyler Eifert would be considered "Under the Radar" but I'm hoping he's someone we bring in in the off-season. Super talented and just has been hit with freak injury after freak injury. The Panthers brought in Greg Olsen who was considered oft injured. Hoping Beane takes a flier with Eifert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocemur Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We need to make a solid offer to Quincy Enunwa, that way even if we don't get him we can drive up the price for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I really like the choices in this thread.......just get guys that fit the offensive scheme since Deboll is probably not going anywhere....... One not so under the radar choice but.....that DE from the Texans is a free agent.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just not sure Clowney fits the culture they want. It may come through the draft. On D, I would look at depth at DT (signing Philips would help); DE; MLB; Corner. I think if they are serious about Edmunds becoming a MLB they need to get him a mentor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said anything about contracts or about division rivals, just a player that’s under the radar and Drake fits the bill. I also feel that James White would be a good choice. Your joke about Mahomes wasn’t really smart, funny, or witty, which is why I appreciate those here who provided good choices. 17 minutes ago, DasNootz said: Patrick Lavon Mahomes is a former American professional baseball pitcher.

Shows great speed and ability to get open. Started 8 games this year, 63 rec. 707 yds. 5 tds plus a punt return TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
