Doc Brown Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) That includes incorporating his contract. Barkley, Mack, Donald, and Kelce come to mind but I'd prefer a #1 WR for Allen. I'd go with DeAndre Hopkins. A 26 year old in his prime with strong hands, a large catch radius, wins those 50/50 balls, not a locker room problem, and can create separation. Locked up through 2022 with the majority of the dead cap hit off his 5 year 81 million dollar contract after this season.

I wouldn’t say no to Khalil Mack though. I’m still pissed about missing out on him. Myles Garrett would be a great addition and is still on his rookie deal. And I’d love to have Gilmore back to pair with Tre White. Edited June 3, 2019 by BarleyNY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 If you want to win consistently, you need a quarterback, you need to PROTECT your quarterback, and you need to hit the OTHER team's quarterback. Since the question states "non-QB", I was left looking at either offensive tackles or pass rushers. When looking at the Bills roster, I have more faith in Dawkins/Ford to form a quality offensive tackle duo than I do in any of Buffalo's EDGE guys to be impactful past 2019. With that being said, I choose Myles Garrett, EDGE. I thought about Mack, but Garrett is five years younger and actually had MORE sacks last year than Mack. Getting an elite 23-year-old edge rusher would really put the Bills defense over the top. Might have chosen Aaron Donald instead, but I have faith that Ed Oliver might make that choice redundant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a solid choice but our defense is just far superior to our offense at this point that I'd look to improve the latter. I like the future of our o-line so that logically leads to giving Allen a #1 target to throw to as we don't have a #1 WR. Look how the trade for Cooper helped the Cowboys last year and Hopkins is far superior to him. He's helped Watson more than any other player on the Texans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how the trade for Cooper helped the Cowboys last year and Hopkins is far superior to him. He's helped Watson more than any other player on the Texans. I hear you. If I were to pick an offensive player, Hopkins might well be the guy. For me, as a matter of team building philosophy, edge rushers are simply more important than receivers. I completely understand the logic of wanting to optimize Josh Allen's game by giving him an elite target. I just feel that the top four positions in terms of long term, sustained success in the NFL right now are QB, LT, EDGE, and CB. We already have (hopefully) three of the four locked down. We just need the elite edge rusher. Really, though, you can't lose with any of these guys being mentioned in this thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Before he ran into his recent off-field issues, I would have said Tyreek Hill. If we are only talking about 2019 season, probably Julio Jones. But if we are talking about a player to add for the future, I might say Hopkins, Nick Bosa, or Myles Garrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Mack then Hopkins. I’d really love to have seen Mack opposite Jerry but it wasn’t meant to be. I’m glad we saved the 23 mill a year and multiple picks. While it’s not likely, Oliver has the ability to be equal to Mack imo. Oliver plus next year’s 1st and 20 mill and other picks. With Beane running the show, I’m happy he did as he did even though it sucks watching Mack dominate. I chose mack over Hopkins because pass rush > everything except qb imo. Talent wise, there really isn’t a better fit for josh allen than hopkins. He’s EXACTLY what JA needs to be a HoFer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxbomber21 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 On Defense Khalil Mack hands down... The Dline would be sick with Mack & Oliver getting to the QB. On offense Saquon Barkley & Odell Beckham Jr. If we had all 3 it would make Buffalo a SB team hands down. 10 minutes ago, NewEra said: Mack then Hopkins.

Talent wise, there really isn’t a better fit for josh allen than hopkins. He’s EXACTLY what JA needs to be a HoFer. I guess I'm looking at the Bills as a franchise right now who's GM and coach is better at identifying defensive talent than offensive talent. We finished 2nd overall in defense last year in yards allowed with an average pass rush. I have more faith that this staff will draft/trade for/sign a future star DE end and if Oliver turns out we could have an elite defense for years. Plus, Hughes will continue to provide pressure and if we're lucky Shaq and/or Murphy outperform expectations. I want to help Josh Allen with a #1 WR that seems more and more difficult to obtain. Hopkins set a record for most receptions in a season (115) without any drops last year. He's arguably the best at 50/50 balls and has a large catch radius which is huge as Allen will never have pinpoint accuracy. Having a team game plan to stop Hopkins would make life easier for Brown, Beasley, and Foster/Jones. It also helps the running game as teams can't load the box if we can burn them in the air. You can't go wrong with Hopkins or Mack though but I think Hopkins would help this particular team more. Edited June 3, 2019 by Doc Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I'm answering this question taking into account the moves the Bills made in the off season and since they already have a very good defense I'll focus on the offense. They shored up their O-line and improved themselves at WR & TE. Sure I could pick a future HOFer at these positions and make the Bills even better but like I said I think they're much improved here. So where do I see a problem still? RB. They need a game breaking RB that fits the modern bill of being deadly both running and catching the football. So I'm going to take Christian McCaffrey. He's young, is just now coming into his own and I suspect he'll be in the final 3 for offensive MVP this year. And if he can convince Cam Newton of the value of check down passes he can convince Josh Allen. The guy has demonstrated that he can run between the tackles and carry the load taking over 90% of the Panthers offensive snaps last year. IMO he would provide the overall high quality RB production we haven't seen since Thurman Thomas. And he would do it for at least 5 more years.
