thebandit27 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If we're talking starters, then you're basically down to Williams, Parnell, and maybe Nsehke or Veldheer as placeholders. Â You could also wait for a guy like Donald Penn to be released, or try to swing a trade with Philly for Vaitai. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply because he and others close to him, or maybe it was like Geoff Schwartz and other former OL on Twitter, saying flat out his injury last year was due to the Raiders flipping him to RT. Basically his body was so used to going through the stresses placed on it dropping back in one way from playing LT for so long that trying to flip and mirror all of it at RT led to overcompensating and injury. I'll go ahead and skip that mess. Find a guard in free agency and get a RT in the draft (Jonah Williams, Jawaan Taylor, Andre Dillard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptnCoke11 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Pretty thin out there now other than Williams.  I’d they don’t sign him it will probably be the draft or a one year stop gap guy.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st pete gogolak Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yeah, Juwaan Taylor. Seriously, if not Williams, there goes any flexibility we have going into the draft. #9 has to be OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agree they will draft someone and by the end of the season that person will be starting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I really want Williams or Saffold (I really want both...) getting one of them would go a long way towards solidifying the line, free us up to truly go BPA at #9 and look for one more line piece in round 2 or 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsCuse Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 With James getting 13 Million per year, do you guys think Williams will now want at least that? Being the best tackle left, I'd guess he does. Think he's worth it with his injury history? Im undecided, I would love to have him here, but wondering if taking someone like Jawan Taylor at 9 would be better on a much cheaper deal (even though would be unproven) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If we miss out on Williams we should be hoping for Taylor in round 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019  Another idea: offer sheet Seattle's George Fant, who played 385 snaps at RT last year and is a RFA. Not sure what level he was tendered, but he's 26 years old and low mileage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Jawaaan Taylor, Dalton Risner, Cody Ford. I'd get a RT in the draft if Williams is gone. Stinks, but I'd rather have a promising rookie than Mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Ty Nsekhe. Has been a swing tackle for the Redskins. Played extremely well at Tackle and Guard. Older at 33 but not a lot of tread.

Rc2catch Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I am 100% sure they have plans for this. They couldn’t of only planned to land 1-2 of the top tackles. I’m sure they have done homework on the other guys to see if they can find a surprise starter, worst case May have to draft and develop one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It was very smart of Beane to pick up Ty prior to the Darryl Williams outcome then. Â And I think it does give some direction to the draft IF the bills sign Ziggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It's possible that Beane knew in advance what was going to happen in Carolina and that's why he moved so quickly yesterday with another viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty is a below average starter, but Mills is a backup at best. It's amazing that he's had a starting job this long. I don't know how PFF rates them, but on my Madden 19, Ty is a 76 and Mills is a 71. I know that's just Madden, but I think their player ratings are better than many people claim -- They just get mad when their favorite player gets downgraded.
