GreggTX Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 What is you top offseason priority? Mine is OT, but WR is a close 2nd. We need to run the ball more and Ford is a serious liability. Move him inside and maybe he can be effective, but I don't think his ceiling is very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I call them money players. We need them. Playmakers. WR, RB, and edge. We need elite talent here. I'de like to take care of edge in free agency because those guys are hard to find. Draft WR and RB in the 1st 2 rounds. I'de like to see them bring back the OL. Add a rookie OT to compete.

We NEED to add at least one really good WR threat. Along the OL, I think there’s multiple spots that could be upgraded or added to. I believe RT is our biggest need mainly because I really hope Cody Ford and Nsekhe aren’t our RTs again. Ty is solid when healthy.....but I don’t have much confidence that he’ll be healthy come playoffs next seasons. Morse and Feliciano are solid. While Spain will either get a nice payday or be replaced by ford or Feliciano. My hope is resign Spain to another team friendly deal, but that probably won’t happen, so I’m ok rolling with Ford and Feliciano at guard with long as backup. Dawkins is a good dude. Decent LT. Loves the city. Hard to move on from him, but tough to pay him 14+ mill a year imo. If we could get a 2nd for him, I’d pull the trigger and draft his replacement with that pick Edited January 11, 2020 by NewEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 As much as we desperately need a big dynamic WR. Watching our Oline get blown up on the pass rush was a huge hindrance to the offense. That being said i believe they will address both of these issues as well as the other needs.

machine gun kelly Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I didn’t vote as we have several needs and difficult to ascertain which is the most important. I respectfully disagree on the O Line as they gave him over three seconds on most plays. Ford needs to improve, but most lineman take a couple of years to develop. For me, we do need a play making WR like a Julio Jones, a DE, battering ram RB to compliment Singletary, and a replacement for Alexander. Between extending the right players, between free agency and the draft, all of these needs can be addressed and still hold back a little each year as Allen’s contract will be substantial in two to three years, if he ends up being the guy. Oh, and I like Allen, but want to see him improve with each year to pay him that large contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I picked edge rusher, only because I know they’re adding to the offensive line, receiver and running back groups. We will absolutely acquire talent one way or another at those positions. I’m not sold they can get an actual good/great pass rusher though. I’m not on the Yannick or clowney train I don’t want either. That doesn’t leave a ton of realistic options to bring in Edit... ??? at whoever picked quarterback as the number one priority Edited January 11, 2020 by Rc2catch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkollidas Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Wide Receiver has to be #1. McDermott has shown He can manufacture a decent amount of pressure rotating in guys like Eddie Yarbrough and Trent Murphy. Even if they don’t get a premier talent, they’ll survive. But the league is about offense and we’ve got a #2 and #3 WR. Duke, McKenzie and Foster are all due to be upgraded. And one of those upgrades should be a guy who downgrades Brown and Beasley from 1/2 down to 2/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I chose edge rusher because I think that without that piece our strength/identity is in jeopardy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t have that, and/or Allen didn’t trust anyone to win a contested ball outside Duke, who we had just activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they draft a guy in the first to grow with Allen and Singletary. Also, they sign a free agent WR to give them another experienced WR.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Edge for me. id love a dynamic pass rusher. That doesn’t mean I still wouldn’t want a WR.

Doc Brown Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It's Allen's third year and I need to see that given a full arsenal of weapons he can be our franchise QB. A capable outside WR opposite Brown should be the #1 priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 In order: 1. WR. Need a game changer type. 2. RB: A big pound it type to pair with Motor 3. DE/Edge: Pass rusher 4. CB: can always use another CB For WR I’d draft one high and look to FAs to add a second. DE/edge same deal plus give Joseph a good shot at replacing Zo. RB in middle rounds or we could already have him in our rugby guy. CB in the middle rounds. I’d be using cap space to extend some guys that are integral.

I’m fairly sure this won’t be well received, but to me, Morse is the weakest link on our OL. Smarter heads than me decided he was a must have early in FA, but consistent pressure up the gut and virtually nothing running in the same area rate a serious rethinking. Yes, he’s an experienced Center re: Line calls on the fly, tendencies per Down & Distance and League respect. So my ‘feeling’ doesn’t hold much water but my eye test says Feliciano and even Bates were more consistent at the position. We spent a boatload of $$ on him and for many years, but we must get stronger up the middle. It’s a weakness that was exploited. jmo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It all depends on the level of the player. WR would seem the obvious choice, but it really isn't unless that player is an Elite WR, or close to it. Bring in a 'good' WR, and have you really upgraded much over Beasley and Brown? Same for a lot of other positions. Basically, it isn't so much what is the biggest 'need', because while the Bills have some holes, nothing is a huge, massive, gaping black hole of a need. What need I need to see them address is simply signing or bringing in a player that is the biggest 'increase' in talent over the incumbent. If that WR doesn't exist, just don't sign someone for the sake of doing it. Make sure whoever you sign, wherever that is...is a noticeable improvement over the incumbent. So to me, I would LOVE a star WR, but it looks like the best chance for improvement might be a LB to replace Alexander...or finding an OL that is an improvement over what you have.

And don't even address the below average OL until day 3 of the draft? Yikes! sorry, But I must vehemently disagree on this. I may be old school, but games are still won and lost in the trenches and our OL is still a VERY long way from where they need to be if we are to seriously contend. We need to add no less than 2 total studs on the OL because we have 0 studs on the OL at present. 0. I'm surprised more people didn't see the need for another outside CB opposite White. We defended the pass well, but a shut down corner opposite Tre'Davious would make this defense rock solid along with a serious pass rushing threat. Our pass rush wasn't terrible, but if it were much better, we could have won 2 or 3 more games, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Allen Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Top offseason priority is locking up some of their players. Negotiate long-term contract extensions with Milano, Dawkins, Poyer and Feliciano. See if they can keep Shaq, Spain, Johnson and Phillips from hitting FA. And make it budget-friendly, because Tre is going to break the bank in a couple of years. Keep your own, then worry about bringing in new guys.

Don Otreply Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I voted WR, but the O line could use some shoring up, as well as Edge, overall the O side should be getting more love from BB & SM than the D side, this off season, that’s jmo.
