There are several ways the Bills can go but I wouldn’t draft Williams at ninth overall. He looks like a guard in the NFL. And I still think that they believe Dawkins can be a left tackle so I would be surprised if they went offensive line in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree that Jonah Williams is a Guard, and I doubt we spend #9 on a guy we need to project at another position. If we go OL at 9, it'll be Jawaan Taylor or Dillard. Dawkins is a very average LT, but could be a top-5 OG. I doubt they move him there, but I'd understand if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 image: http://walterfootball.com/images/fball/billsb_logo.gif Bills sign OT Ty Nsekhe (2 years, $14.5 million; $7.7 million guaranteed): B Grade Ty Nsekhe has done a good job of filling in for Trent Williams or Morgan Moses when needed in recent years, so it's nice to see him get a chance to start. It's unclear if Nsekhe can handle a full-time role, but the Bills aren't taking much of a risk by giving him just $7.7 million guaranteed. Either way, Nsekhe will be an upgrade over the anemic Jordan Mills, so this is a solid signing. The only downside with Nsekhe, aside from his lack of full-time starting experience, is that he turns 34 in October, so he could be in for some regression. Still, he's worth the minimal risk, so this signing should be in the B+/B range.

billspro Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I think this might end up being our best signing. It would not surprise me if he gave us 3 years of top ten LT play.

LABILLBACKER Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I have now read from several sites that Ty Nsekhe was our biggest haul. They graded him out as an A or A+ Swing Tackle. And I could see Ty at LT and move Dawkins to LG. Draft Jonah Williams as RT. Long at RG. That would be an amazing Oline. Hats off to BB so far....

It doesn't mean I understand the hype. I've seen people locking him in to start at left tackle. I've seen people thinking the Bills will get "top ten" level play out of him. There are some incredibly high hopes here for a guy who has shown to be a top tier backup and spot starter. It's a HUGE leap from "best backup" to "good starter."

buffaloboyinATL Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hopefully Nsekhe is to tackles what Fred Jackson was to RB’s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If over the next two years the above drafted players get close to their ceiling, then they're high-quality starters. If they don't come close, the Bills have serviceable players to fill in in the meantime, and can draft/sign bluechip guys in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWATeam Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I am all on board this hype train. This guy wasn't on my radar, but wow, just went over some all 22 of him and I'm really impressed. Watched the Falcons game. He started at LT and I didn't see him get beat once. They must have had an injury or something as he played most of the 2nd half at left guard- equally effective. Stud. This guy is a sure fire starter. What a value signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I don't know if this has been discussed in this thread already, but I wonder if Beane/McD are thinking about moving Dawkings to LG, and Nsekhe at LT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Ty Nsekhe, OT, Buffalo Bills The deal: Two years, $14.5 million, $7.7 million guaranteed Why it's underrated: You really have to dig deep for why we love Nsekhe, seeing as he has never played more than 403 snaps in a single season. When you take into consideration his performance over his last three seasons in Washington -- where he played just 1,093 snaps -- you get one of the better tackles in the NFL. Over that span, Nsekhe has an overall PFF grade of 71.6 and has been good in both pass protection and in the run game. http://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/26263726/picking-most-underrated-overrated-2019-nfl-free-agent-signings Top 5 most underrated signings.... 2 bills cracked the list 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeSomeProcess Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Really hoping this is an Andrew Whitworth type of deal. Grant it, Whitworth was an established player when he signed with the rams but Ty is the same age when he signed. AW is a stall worth in that offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
