Getting the best starting 5 figured out should lead to some interesting camp battles.

I think a fair concern is going to be, once we do get the lineup sorted out, how long before they gel together?  I mean we're basically starting from scratch here.

I dont want to see the bills give up on Wyatt Teller who I think showed flashes in his rookie season of what he could become....especially playing between 2 quality offensive linemen

 

Dont really want to see Waddle starting....he looks like a very good fit as that swing guy where you dont miss a beat though

My take is they take best 5.  Have to remember that versatility is valued and indicates level of athleticism.  

 

3 position capable players

Nsekhe LT, RT, G 

Dawkins LT, RT, G 

Long C, LG, RG 

Feliciano C, LG, RG 

 

2 position players

Boettger RG, LG

Teller RG, LG

Waddle LT, RT

McDermott LT, ST

Ducasse RG, LG 

 

One position player

Morse

Bodine 

 

My read is Ducasse, McDermott and Bodine are released after draft.  A 2nd day pick at OL makes roster and Boettger and a late rounder go to P.S.

I agree. Hopefully the gel quickly as they are all vets.

We could go DT, Edge rusher and CB in the first 3 rounds....TE and RB in the 4th

No way

 

Teller was BURYING guys in the run game....he is exactly what you want on this OL.   Gotta remember what he was playing with last year by his side

He started out decent but was brutal the last couple games

There's your swing OT

I like this signing as you said, he's our swing guy. Imo, we still need a stud T and I'm not at all abject to taking one at 9 or trading down and taking a top prospect in the first or second. Dawkins is not that good. In his first year, people act as if he was very good. He wasn't. He was pretty good and very promising. Last year he regressed. He wasn't that good at all. Granted, no one was. But he is not a surefire LT at all. Ideally, I would want a top pick LT, Dawkins, Morse, Long or Felicano, and Ty at RT. With LaAdrian Claywaddle as the swing, the loser of the Long/Fel battle as backup G and Teller. That would make for a pretty solid line and drastic improvement.

Who is a top pick LT? I'm not convinced it's Jonah Williams at LT. This is a credible plan, btw, though I personally favor DL at #9.

This is looking more and more like that first pick is either going to be a DT or a TE to me.......

 

If they take a OT its gonna be a guy later.....and are choosing to use free agency to retool this OL with veteran guys.....Ty is probably our starter this year and honestly deserves that shot......

 

Probably looking at

 

Dawkins - LT

Teller- LG

Morse - Cter

Spencer Long - RG

Ty - RT

 

A veteran OL to go in front of our young QB.......

 

I think Feliciano starts, either Teller or Long will be a backup. If Bodine is cut they'll probably make Long the backup center.

Right now Feciiano is a backup OG.....but maybe a quality one?

 

I think Spencer Long is manning the other OG spot opposite Teller

Honestly, I think the only starters on the oline, as of right now, are Morse and Ty.  Dawkins is likely the starter at LT but he might be closely scrutinized after last season's results.  Both guard spots are open for competition between Teller, Long, Feliciano and others imo.
