billsfan89 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If the Texans want an LT in return I am not sure what team they can pull off a deal with. The Redskins would make sense in a straight up player for player trade but I am not sure if the Skins view that as sensible from their perspective. Was far as the Bills Dawkins and Ty would be the logical pieces to send back along with some form of draft compensation. Overall I don't see McD trading for Clowney. It wouldn't fit his mold, then again McBeane were interested in AB a player who isn't what most would consider process friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only defensive weakness would be proven linebacker depth.  That’s as strong, and complete of a defense that the NFL has this year.  Edited August 14, 2019 by SCBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 89 Niners aren’t out there in today’s NFL.  The question is......... “Who will be the best QB for that particular season? That covers a lot of holes on a roster.  And we don’t know if Josh Allen can carry a team yet. So you would purpose not getting better because there isnt a roster without a lot of holes on it?

I think Clowney is probably a better player than Dawkins, but the positional value for our team at the moment isn't worth it. I'd do a second rounder before I sent them an OL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the QB a zero sum game, and let our O-line be at least 5% better than last year (and it's not that hard to argue that it will be by default) and you've got a team as good, or better than the Texans. Of course, the QB is the determining chip on the table.  The biggest issue is the Depth. I think Pound for pound the bills are better equipped to deal with a non-QB injury than the texans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario was a stud here outside of the 2015 season. 3 out of 4 good to very good years is worth the money they paid him.  Had we not hired Rex, he would have continued to pay dividends.

Really? The depth on this roster is near the top of the league. We still have, in this scenario (a 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th) and the most cap space in the league. We have better TE depth than we’ve had since the mid 90’s (and maybe better) and added 9 OL. LB depth is young but not weak. Where do you draft a depth LB? Round 4? Good, because we still have that. If you have concerns about the roster development moving forward I don’t know what to tell you. They are in as good a position as any team moving forward. They have young (cheap talent), the most cap space in the league and depth all over (especially on d). They need some top end talent but they have the resources to do that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Super Bowl era Bills relied on a core of great young talent while some good veterans were on their way out. This latest version of the Bills needs to see the same thing from Allen, Oliver and Edmonds anchoring both sides of the line of scrimmage. Then, next year you sprinkle in a few draft picks and a free agent or two at DE, RB (praying for Singletary to hit), and WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Guess I’m in the minority but I’m in no mood to hamper the offense which needs more talent by improving the defense which is already good. In a vacuum I’d love to have Clowney and the money is not an issue for me either. I don’t care about the injury history. The player is elite, the player is worth it. I do not however want to give up a good OT when we have thin depth to begin with to do it. Shaq Lawson and a 2nd rd pick? Fine. I’m still concerned though about giving up a high pick for a guy who has no incentive to sign a deal with the Bills after the season and not test FA. Sure there is the comp pick, but that’s a late 3rd in 2021 at best. Edited August 14, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
