State of the Buffalo Bills’ roster: ST Specialists. Should they keep the band together?

Draft a punter in the later rounds and keep everyone else.

That's what I would do. We can do a whole lot better than the 32nd ranked punter.

Final thinking in this Position group for me would be:

 

Take one of our picks after round 5 and draft one of the punters.  The reality is once we get passed round 4 I think any player drafted is going to have a hard time seeing the field with the depth that we have built on this team.  So, I am looking to upgrade a position that we have been trying to for a while All three of these punters have draftable grades IMO.  So, go get one.  I really am not going to be comfortable going into camp with Kaare Vedvik and Corey Bojorquez in a punting battle.  All kickers in the draft have undraftable grades and without seeing an actual upgrade to Hauschka right now just stay with him.  Just know that anything over 50 yards at this point I would seriously consider going for it instead, especially in open air conditions.  

 

 

Write-up I did on the Group to Justify my thinking

 

 

I'm all for throwing a 6th at a punter.  Bojo needs to have tough competition this camp/preseason.

Those 6th rounders used on other picks will have a tough time making the team anyways.

 

Side note:  I don't like having an active RB slot used up for a special team guy that can't be used as a RB.

No more Sinorise Perry's.  I want 3 useful RBs on game day.

Until they have clear upgrades, keep them together. That goes for pretty much every other position.

Aren't 3rd running backs commonly inactive on game days unless they play special teams?

Well actually you can't until you have a guy that proves he can. So you keep Bojo until you have someone you know is better.

Yes, but they usually can be used as a RB too.  Perry was useless in that role.

If Singletary gets nicked you don't want to be stuck with 1 back.

 

It just bugged me that his spot was strictly STs.  Having some sort of "change of pace" guy that can do both is desirable.

Bojo and Haush should be given camp competition to earn their spots. Both had very uneven and inconsistent seasons last year and they should have to earn their spots in camp. Ferguson seems OK, Roberts is a quality return man and I think DiMarco (ST ace supposedly) all will have a niche on the roster on special teams.

Kudos to Bojo. He was supposed to be a liability, but he actually did quite well. I know Hauschka struggled for a while, but given his past, I'd have to see another kicker just wow the coaches before I'd replace him. I expect him to bounce back. Still, there's never any harm in providing competition.
