Bills to Pursue RT Williams

[John from Riverside]

I don't think after the combine that Risner will be available in Round 2, Lindstrom should be and I do't mind him at RG yet not comfortable with Darryl Williams because MCL is a serious injury to come back from. 

Actually.....as far as ligments to come back from....MCL would be the one I would be the least concerned about.

 

Plus he is talented, young, and a veteran guy where it takes these kids a while (usually) to be combat ready on the line.

Over The Cap has the Giants at $25.9M in cap space.

Great news for us!

Morse is younger, bigger, faster, stronger, and a former college left tackle,. He has the all around better pedigree. I'd settle for Paradis, but I think Morse is the better player. In all fairness, I have watched Morse than Paradis, but I think Paradis is a zone only center.  

My worry with Morse is the concussion history. If the team is committing term and dollars to a center, I want him to be available as much as possible to develop a good rapport with Allen and be able to take as much as possible off the kid's plate pre-snap

[Logic]

So the two guys who drafted Daryl Williams are the ones expected to pursue him?

Great detective work by La Canfora here!

Agreed on that point. It honestly is his only red flag, but it is a big one. But the upside is huge imo and I think he's worth the risk. He'd be amazing for Allen in setting protections an things of that nature. He literally anchors the offense.

Yeah I agree I'm completely on board with either one of the two but a good veteran at center should really help Allen

Great move! It’s should be interesting who can sign him Bean or Getleman. Fingers crossed he picks Buffalo.

If it goes down,I guess we can forget about drafting Taylor at nine?

But is it just an idea, or is it a genuine rumor? I'm not meaning to grill you, just genuinely curious.

 

I think guys around the team are putting two and two together. Kinda flaming the fans a little bit too.

Not to mention his surname is Williams.  We will certainly look to replenish, especially after losing Kyle

[Buffalo03]

So when do we finally hear "Bills and Falcons putting finishing touches on Julio Jones Trade to Buffalo"? Or "Bills and Bengals putting finishing touches on AJ Green trade to Buffalo"? I'm getting antsy

[Tatonka68]

"IF" the knee checks out cut the man a check, instant upgrade from Mills, which is not saying much. After that sign a Center an another Guard.

AJ Green for the extra 4th and 5th round picks plus a 2020 conditional pick based on performance. Jump on that.

I would love this. We should buy a capable offensive line and build the defensive line through the draft.

[BillsfanAZ]

Williams is almost a must sign for the Bills. The Bills can fix their Oline is short order. I wouldnt be opposed to signing Miller or Mills to a team friendly deal for depth.

I think your looking at Long over Teller at the LG spot there.

 

Completey forgot about Long. I agree with you I think he will start over Wyatt. I’ll add him.

- Sign - Daryl williams, RT

- Sign - Matt Paradis, C or Morse, C

- Draft 2nd Round - Dalton Risner T/G,  or Chris Lindstrom, G

- Draft 1st Round - T.J. Hockenson, TE

 

LT - Dion Dawkins

LG - Long/Teller

C - Paradis/Morse 

RG - Risner/Lindstrom

RT - Daryl Williams 

TE - T.J. Hockenson 

 

Pretty solid Oline if this happens. And very realistic. 

 

 

 

Definitely a reasonable Oline, I love that scanario.  I don't think the Bills board will have Hockenson ahead of some of these defensive studs though.  Even in a trade down I don't see Beaner as the type of GM that drafts a TE in the first.   

 

The may sound weird but I think Croom is going to blossom this year.  He's 6'5' 250, can get open, runs a 4.69 40, good hands, and had some impressive blocking singled up on edge guys this past season.

 

I do see them going Risner in the 2nd.   Praying for a trade down so we truly go BPA.

[WMDman]

good to hear

[Mat68]

Can we just make La Confora an honorary member?  I hear him talk and it's just wild baseless speculation.  Gentleman and Beane draft Williams so now they are the main suitors?

Well he lost his leak in One Bills Drive when Leroi was canned so what does he have left to use?

Update Depth on Offense: Looks to be a huge upgrade across the board.

QB: Allen, Barkley, Anderson

RB: McCoy, Love, Yelden

FB: Dimarco

WR: Tyrell Williams, Zay Jones. R Foster, D Sills

TE: T.J. Hockenson, Jess James, Croom

OL: Matt Paradis, Daryl Williams, Dawkins, Chris Lindstrom, Kaleb McGary, Long, Miller/Groy/Teller/Mills/Brandon Fanaika

 

Updated Depth Chart of Defense: Depth across the board.

DT: H Phillips, Jeffery Simmons, Lotulelei, J Phillips

DE: Murphy, Hughes, Anthony Nelson, Lawson, Yarbrough

LB: Milano, Edmunds, Alexander,  T Davis, Sione Takitaki, Lacey

DB: Hyde, Poyer, White, EJ Gaines, Wallace, Johnson, Bush, Blace Brown, /Andrew Wingard

 

This looks to be a much improved team. Still think we could use an additional WR. But the OL looks much improved and TE position solidified. Love could be a steal at RB. 

[HOUSE]

Maybe we can just glue the torn MCL and dislocated kneecap.

[IgotBILLStopay]

No-brainer to go after D. Williams if the medicals check out. Am a bit concerned about the Bills' medical evaluations after Jordan Matthews and KB 13 injuries.

i like miller and think he was dealt a tough hand, not only in his personal life , but from juan's system and playing next to mills. i think some team is going to offer him money the bills won't want to match.

 

i can see long at lg and teller moving to the rg spot. i believe they will draft a center/g and tackle somewhere in the draft. of course after signing a vet center and williams.

I think anything over $2M/year and they won't match.  And I don't think he'll ever be any good.  Shame given he looked so promising his rookie year.

I think Edmunds is staying at MLB and he should. Made tremendous strides toward the end of the season.

Not really.

 

He was god awful against the Patriots in week 16 and the best defensive player on the field in week 17.

 

He was inconsistent all year.

 

To be expected for a kid who was a teenager when he was drafted and is still growing into his body. Did anyone play well v the Patriots in Week 16? I'm willing to give him a pass. He's a terrific young talent and I can't see him moving positions.

I agree about youth equating to expected inconsistency, but Edmunds would thrive on the outside. It is a lot easier to find a serviceable MLB with good instincts than it is to find a freak like Edmunds who could be unleashed as an outside backer/pass rusher if we filled that MLB spot with someone else. It would afford McD a ton of flexibility which we know he likes. 

 

It all depends on what happens in FA, but if Devin White is there at 9, he could be the pick.

You said he made tremendous strides at the end of the year.... which he didn't. Unless you count ONE meaningless game against a Dolphins team already in offseason mode.

We have the advantage of lots of cap space that they don't have. But this does sound like the usual conjecture from LaConfora. That said, fingers crossed it happens. I want Morse, Williams, Jesse James. 

if we sign only those 3 this off season im a happy man

Looks like a solid 8-9 win team.  At some pt though we need some difference makers.

[Woodman19]

We must be pretty attractive to Williams. Familiarity with the GM and coach, money to get paid long term, a good young and improving QB and a solid defense in place.  Everything is set to be competitive during his prime.

[T master]

This would be a good signing for the Bills if he can stay healthy of coarse & given the fact that he has guys he's familiar with on the field & the FO as opposed to just in the FO i think that would be more alluring to him being comfortable .

 

But the "Big Apple" can have it's sparkle too so who knows but i think what ever happens Bean will get a quality players to help out the O line weather it be in the draft or FA !!

You don't know what you are talking about!   Just because the NFL says he was the best defensive rookie of the month at the end of the season along with 43 tackles, 4 pass break ups and 2 int's in his final 4 games isn't nearly as noteworthy as Scott Law's eagle expert eye analysis.
