Kirby Jackson Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 The Saints are Belichick-level ruthless. Warford has been to the last 3 Pro Bowls (although this year on reputation). He was serviceable but BAD in the playoff game. They were like “yeah, this isn’t going to work” and drafted his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I’d normally be all in on upgrading the OL but I think the greater need is RT just in case Ford can’t hold it down like we hope he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we should avoid upgrading RG because our RT is worse. I like it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting better elsewhere on the line is still a good idea. You don't avoid upgrading at linebacker just because you need a better corner. That doesn't make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is Feliciano a better starter for this team because he knows the guys he’s playing with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, this doesn't affect that. Two, we have at least two back-ups at RT who have starting experience in the NFL, including one who was very recently an All Pro (and his three career penalties may be one of my favorite stats ever). That being said: I love what they seem to be doing in trying to keep consistency on a line of relatively young starters. Ideally, Ford-Feliciano-Morse-Spain-Dawkins works out and benefits from being in their second year working as a unit.

billsfan89 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I am always one for upgrading the O-line. It would be good to have him come in and compete with Feliciano for the RG spot. The right side (which generally speaking was the weaker side) would have a lot of competition if they brought in someone to compete with Feliciano as D.Williams is already competition with Ford and TY. But I don't see it shaking out for the Bills. I think given his high level of interest and the fact that teams would be willing to hand him a starting job and a good salary (at least on a one year deal) I think he goes elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPoy88 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I don’t see a pressing need at OG but I’ve always liked Warford - if he is deemed an improvement by Beane then why not at least inquire. Chances are he’s not going to be available for long though and getting into a bidding war for a guard is eh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Spain and Feliciano are $4.7 and 4.5 mil. I don’t see why to drain our cap even more when first, it’s widely reported the cap will go down appreciably after this year, and second, we have decent guards and even backups with Long. In addition, we more importantly need to extend Dawkins, Milano, and White. We may at best be able to extend one, and maybe not even that as again we need to hoard cash at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Costa Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 He’d be a nice upgrade on the offensive line. Probably a bit pricey. Maybe cut Long save some cash and go for it. Going to be many suitors. Would 7/8 million per get it done? Pro Bowl player last 3 years. We obviously have the cap space. Pro Bowlers aren’t available every day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

below Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The pro bowl always seems to have a few OL...guards in particular....who make it based on reputation. It just seems to be the same guys voted in by default year after year. Remember Ruben Brown going like 8 years in a row? And didn't Jeff Saturday get voted in even though he was benched by GB? If Watford was that good Saints would have kept him, or at least got some value back in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also drafting Cesar Ruiz and Erik McCoy in B2B drafts helped push someone out the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) It's a no from me. We need all the cap space we can get to pay players and with other teams having a lot of space still, he'll get paid big by someone like the Jets or Dolphins. He's a good player, but sometimes it's the wrong deal for the current situation Edited May 9, 2020 by Mountain Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I think Walford's performances have been a little inflated by playing alongside that host of good players. He is a good starting guard. I think Spain's best level of play is at least as good as Walford's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Ruben Brown went multiple years in a row and when he left to Chicago he proved he was still worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 If he’s so sought after, how could they not get compensation for him? Feels like something else is going on behind the scenes. I’d be fine with upgrading, but I think our line is going to take a big step forward with another year together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
