KingBoots8 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) With the season at an end, now we need to look towards next season and upgrading certain positions. Of our starters, who are the most secure with their positions on offense? Here are my “safe bets” : QB Josh Allen RB Devin Singletary TE Knox LT Dawkins C Morse G Feliciano WR Brown WR Beasley I think anyone else could be shifted around (ex. RT Ford moving to Guard) or lose their spot altogether. Any others you think should be 100% “the guy” next year? *Edited to add Brown and Beasley Edited January 6, 2020 by KingBoots8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe John Brown is a safe bet for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogham26 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 John brown and cole Beasley in the slot are locks as well. cody ford at guard or tackle is a lock imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills make the decision to keep Ford on the outside then yes. If not, then I think they let Spain go and Ford moves inside. Personally, the latter would be my choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I really hope we trade Dawkins and get a better replacement. He’s going to get paid after next season and I don’t think he’s worth it. Rather than let him go, trade him and get what would be his comp pick a couple years early so we can get his replacement. I’m worried that we won’t be able to pay all these young kids down the road. Looking ahead, trade the guys you’re not going to keep, a la the pats with seymour, Chandler Jones and Jaimie Collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Upgrade at least 1 OL spot Not sure I call Knox a lock yet. If we can get Hooper it is a big upgrade. Need a #1 WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I am of the mind they let Spain walk. He and Ford were the worst players on the line this year, and Ford was a 2nd round pick so he gets time. I imagine they move Ford to one of the guard spots and let Spain walk.

SCBills Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Agreed with your locks, but i'm not sure where Brown and Beasley wind up in the new WR room. I could easily see us going after two big/fast WR's to play on the outside, Brown becoming the playmaker speed guy and Beasley to the slot only.

If the Bills really want to have an upper echelon OL, they can re-sign Spain, kick Ford inside to RG, move Feliciano to utility man and go after someone like Conklin in FA. I won't hate it if they feel Ford can improve at RT though.. He did show some promise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBoots8 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 I didn’t lock Spain since he is a FA but I would not be mad with bringing him back personally. Our OL had some many revolving parts but my short term memory can’t draw up an instance where I thought Spain blew his assignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford will definitely get a shot at it but I'm sure they bring someone in to make it a serious competition for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direhard Fan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The "O" line didn't jell until the second half. All new except Dawkins. They all have a shot to stay. Ford was a weak link for sure but did improve with more playing time. They should have given him help with Watt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I keep hearing Spain has given up zero sacks this year. Where is this info from? Is there a free source for these kinds of stats? I'd like to obtain some context here. How many sacks our other olinemen gave up? What is league average for all OL positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that says he really wants to be here or is just worried he won't be brought back if we elect to not re-sign him early. Personally I want him here and I get why people want to shift Ford but man Spain was solid this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
