I did not think we had a realistic chance, but now with reports saying he isn't going back to LA, we have as good a chance as any. Having his college OL coach in the fold can't do anything but help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they definitely get Paradis, there is the Gase connection and he is a perfect fit for their zone based scheme. Saffold fits well there as well. Not sure they get both. I'd prefer Mitch Morse and Daryl Williams though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to feel better about the depth at center in the draft though. If they can come away from FA with a starting RT and guard (even if it's Q Spain), then I'll be encouraged. Get a center on day 2 (any of Risner or Eric McCoy would do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be satisfied and optimistic that they will get one of those 4 you mention...( two would be a dream and isn't happening to the Bills..) They will probably then end up with another "second tier" Free Agent like Veldheer... The remaining hole gets filled with their first pick, or trading up into the bottom of the first with their second... They will have identified someone they like, and wont be hanging around until 40 to pull the trigger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there were obviously bigger issues with Ritchie than just his age. Saffold is 30. By the time his huge contract ends 5 years from now, he’ll be Ritchie current age. 5 years difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I would like 2 high profile signings to the oline. Safford is one of the better players available and a big need. I would argue that he helps Dawkins at LT too. Also I think they bring in a TE and Wr as well. I think Buffalo will be aggressive and narrow in on who they want quickly. I could see 3 to 4 signings coming quickly than more methodical after the first wave of signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 IMO, simply plugging good players into the Offensive Line doesn't equate a good Offensive Line. Variables such as the ability to gel and play as a single, cohesive unit come into play. So, while the Bills MUST throw money at the OL, I don't think they "need" to do it at every position. In other words, getting a Vet C IMHO is paramount to all other OL issues and then getting a great RT should be next on the list to make the talent and abilities stretch across the whole line. A very good Guard can be found in the Draft in the 3rd round or if it warrants it, not based on need but BPA, sooner. Defensive Line / WR / OG are not the areas I'd like the Bills to use "big" money on in FA. TE? Yes. C / RT? Yes. OLB? Yes. But the other positions are relative positions of strength for the Draft. So, I assume the Bills will get one or two WRs in FA, but I'm not the guy who thinks you can solve that issue by going after "a name". Give me a tremendous OL with a mix of Vets and youth, Vet TEs who can block and find the seam - along with Croom who was arguably their best TE last season and in his 3rd year should make a big leap forward, and a QB who is growing and maturing. THEN give me the WRs who are hungry to play at all times, in any situation (e.g. Foster) and I think you've established a revamped Offense.

I'm hoping that answer is no. I think they wind up with one of these centers at the very least. Right now they go Beachum-Osemele-???????-Winters-Shell. They have 100 million in cap space. I would be surprised if they don't sign Paradis, (great ginger connection with Darnold) and I could see them going after JuWan James as well. But in terms of need, they really need base defensive ends. Unfortunately, the answer is definitely not no.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 The only advantage I think we have in terms of luring Paradis is Buffalo vs New Jersey and NY media. He's an Idaho farm guy, so the only chance we have is if he'd rather not go to a media hotbed. I think Morse is the better fit for us, but I do fear that the Texans try to swipe him. I also think Minnesota and Arizona will go after Paradis. Possibly Baltimore as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
