NewEraBills Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 1 hour ago, No Place To Hyde said: I think the creative approach is what we saw at the end of last year. I believe we sign either Barr or Za'darious Smith. They play the LB spot and Zo slides to DE which slides Lawson to DT on passing downs. Lawson had some really nice success inside late last year. Smith would be better here as a DE, which is what he played at UK. I don't see him as a 4-3 outside linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, throwing **** at the wall hoping it sticks. send shaq to atlanta, sign grady jarrett then swap pick 9 for 14 and their 2nd.....then trade 14 to carolina for 16 and a 3rd. draft sweat at 16 and ximines in the 3rd. rotate murphy and lorax at end with sweat and oshane behind him and hughes. boom...done...scary defense for years to come 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we have more than our pick at #9, in fact we have 9 more picks plus Free Agency (and potential trades) to address offensive holes. So I don't think anyone is going to freak out if we took an elite prospect like Oliver at #9. Adding a guy to elevate our #2 defense from last year into a potentially elite defense with a guy like Oliver joining our other young talent like Edmunds and Tre as well as our vets like Hyde, Poyer, Hughes, Star, etc would be great. So not sure why some people think everyone will melt down if we went D with the 9th pick. Not sure how anyone would be mad at that. Exactly. Might just be the symmetry of it, but if Edmunds continues to develop I love the idea of having an elite player at each level of our defense all at roughly the same age. If we're really building a team for the future, it always helps to have that reliable foundation filled by a player per position/skill group. And while I wouldn't hate either Harry or Jordan breaking out to be that guy on the DL (however likely/unlikely that may be), I wouldn't feel our 9th would be wasted in the least if we ultimately go with an exceptional DL talent (barring trade back considerations). Not to mention they would all be a year apart for planning out contract negotiations and cap considerations down the line. But I appreciate the step-back perspective to the offseason here. I get everyone is all hyped on the offensive need train, but we can't conflate that need with our 9th overall pick. In all honesty, should we stay put, I'm not sure there is an offensive player in this draft I'd take with the 9th pick over what defensive talent will likely still be there. Not to mention, the idea of White/Edmunds/Oliver or whoever shaping the foundation of our defense for the next however many years sounds really nice to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipster19 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) I’m doing this off an IPhone so I haven’t read all the responses, it’s too hard on the eyes but I have a question. Jadeveon Clowney was a FA but just got tagged. Does he still qualify as a potential FA target now that he got tagged or does this disqualify him as a potential FA target?

If exclusive Franchise tag is used the player can not negotiate with another team. If non exclusive they can talk to other teams who would surrender 2 1st rd draft picks upon signing. Not a likely scenario given contract $$ required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a major need for a pass rusher and I can see them being worried about the ice getting thin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Is there a more Sean McDermott player than Christian Wilkins? If he's the guy he's wearing the 'C' within a year. Great guy to have on and off the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 On 3/4/2019 at 12:21 PM, DCOrange said: On the most recent episode of the Locked on Bills podcast, around 16 minutes in he starts talking about edge rushers and said that he can't divulge specific names, but he's been told that Buffalo will be taking a run at addressing the edge rusher position in "creative ways" this offseason, specifically to plan for the future at the position. He also specified that they will not pursue Clowney. I'm guessing this means they'll be making sort of an under-the-radar dart throw of a signing to see if they happen to get lucky and get a guy to breakout. Wouldn't be surprised if maybe it's one of their former Panther guys: Kony Ealy. Seems like people could make an argument that Anthony Barr would be a "creative" approach to adding an edge rusher too since he's been mostly an off-ball LB to this point. Ealy's been available before and we never showed much interest. In terms of looking to creative ways, and agree that we could go Barr and use him (or Lorax) as an edge rusher this year and then have Barr replace Lorax after he retires or could do something similar with a guy like Aaron Lynch for less money.
