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...
