 2018

Russell Bodine

  2019

Mitch Morse

Ryan Groy Spencer Long
Ike Boettger Ike Boettger
Vlad Ducasse Quinton Spain
John Miller Jon Feliciano
Jeremiah Sirles LaAdrian Waddle
Wyatt Teller Wyatt Teller
Dion Dawkins Dion Dawkins
Conor McDermott Draft Pick
Jordan Mills Ty Nsekhe
   
  To be cut
  Jeremiah Sirles
  Vlad Ducasse
  Russell Bodine
  Conor McDermott

They really re did the whole thing! I think Boettger may be gone as well- or possibly coming down to him, Sirles and maybe a late round pick.

Im now of the opinion they may not go OL til like 5th or 6th round. Think starters shake out like so:

LT Dawkins

LG Teller

C Morse

RG Spain

RT Nsekhe 

 

maybe Long or Feliciano push Teller- though I think they’d prefer Long as primary back up because he’s a center

I remember saying when they signed Long a month or so back that his $1.2 Mil guaranteed money didn’t necessarily make him a lock to be on the team Week 1.. 

 

He will need to be bringing it in camp..

 

Ike is in some trouble..might be back to the Practice Squad.

 

I still expect them to draft a tackle in the first three rounds..

We will run, crush defenses with these guys upfront. (Double TE packages will be common)

 

TE - Kroft

LT - Dawkins

LG - Spain

C - Morse

RG - Feliciano

RT - Nsekhe 

TE - Fisher

Teller is an intriguing one because if he has a great camp he could start, but he could also be cut pretty easily now.

 

My prediction is: 

 

Dawkins | Draft Pick

Spain | Teller

Morse | Bodine (I don't see a point in cutting him with the injury history of Morse) 

Long | Felliciano

Nsekhe | Waddle

 

Either way, we have competition across the entire line, and realistically, 4 out of five spots have been improved... This is staggering to be here before the draft.

They aren’t keeping 10 OL. I’m going to say that Boettger and Felciano get cut (or they don’t draft any OL). 

 

OL as I see it:

Dawkins-Spain-Morse-Long-Nsekhe

 

Swing OT: Waddle

Depth interior: Teller (with Long going to center)

8th guy: Felciano or a draft pick

No Spain? And who's Taylor?

There is pretty much no chance that the Bills go OL at 9.

Feliciano’s salary is guaranteed this year..

 

Makes it unlikely they cut him..

I don't believe they go O line early in the draft i think D line, TE, & WR may be the early picks & possibly another good LB prospect last yr with Millano, Edmunds they have those 2 in the LB corp but need one more to keep them solid for years to come the DB's are looking pretty good with who they brought in last year & bringing back some other good players they let walk .

 

Prediction best D line player at #9 !! To replace Kyle & push Lawson !!

Generally agree, though I think rb is in play day two or early three as well.

You're probably right.  My guess is that signing Fisher gives them the additional optionality for an emergency tackle that the always inactive McDermott served.  Boettger to PS, if he clears waivers?

Fisher? 

 

Yeah, I think Boettger and Teller have a shot at the PS if they don’t make the team. Those guys may get picked up though. Our OL talent is much improved. We are talking about cutting guys that started last year. They are probably at least depth guys somewhere. I think Teller makes the team but it certainly isn’t a lock.

Yeah, Jake Fisher the converted OL to TE

I agree about Feliciano.  Most teams keep 9 OL.  4 OTs and 5 interior linemen.

I agree with this minus one subtraction of Bodine.   Feliciano may beat out Long at RG.

Spain has played LG his entire career.  My guess is as follows:

LT Dawkins

LG Spain

C Morse

RG Feliciano

RT Nsheke
