What are your top positions you'd like to see upgraded this offseason?

Recommended Posts

Mine are:

 

1. DLE (I miss being able to get after the QB with just 4 DL)

2. CB2 (but keep Wallace as CB3)

3. LG (We surely can do better than Boettger and Ford)

4. TE (I'm beginning to doubt Knox.)

5. DT (Oliver has really disappointed me and none of the others are starting caliber IMO.)

6. MLB (Maybe Edmunds would be better at OLB)

We need to create a new position. Defensive Tight End Specialist. Has to be nasty, big but fast,  6'6' 240lbs. 4.7 speed

 

Good cover skills is a must.

 

This guy has one purpose, to destroy Tight Ends

I like it. But even this dog would probably let Kelce catch a bunch of 8-yard passes before biting his leg.

 

by the way, Kelce seriously had zero bad games this year. The closest he came was against the Broncos, where he only had 3 catches for 30 yards. But that was because the chiefs scored so many defensive and ST TD’s in that game, that they didn’t really use their offense.

Boring answer is you need to see how FA shakes out....

 

If Williams, Milano and Feliciano are not retained than they all need to be replaced with good pickups .....

 

In terms of a straight out upgrade I gotta say DE ... can they find some money to buy one in FA? Probably not enough... so let’s hope there is some one they like at 30 sitting there ...

Cut Addison, Jefferson & Butler.  Let Milano walk.  
 

Use those cap savings to go big game hunting on the DL.   
 

Cut Smoke. Re-sign Williams.  Draft Toney, Najee or Etienne at 30.  
 

We need playmakers to beat KC.   I’ll gladly sacrifice veteran rotation guys/depth to do so.  

Upgrade DL & Offensive Weaponry

The CAP will restrict what Bean can do.  So IMO they must pick what side of the ball they want to make elite and IMO that would be the offense.

 

My focus on the offense would be:

 

*  A solid RB that can pick up the blitz and be a threat in the passing game is the Bills #1 need.  This simple addition to the Bills current O could catapult this unit right up along side the Chiefs offense.

 

*  A reliable pass catching TE. 

 

I would leave the O-line alone. It's good enough and the return of Ford will add competition/depth to that unit.  Again in a CAP free world Buffalo would add a free agent here but how will the Bills afford it?

 

On Defense:

 

*  Try to get value in free agency and/or the draft for the D-line.  Star will be back which should help. I just don't see how the Bills will have the CAP money to spend big here.

Are we not one of the worse in the NFL covering TE'S?

the OLine that has allowed top defenders to harass Josh

 

the OLine that hasn’t allowed running lanes for the RB’s.  
 

Not that Daboll isn’t to blame for going overboard on the passing game. 

 

Big sturdy RB

Big sturdy TE

Since I have yet to see this response specifically, let me be the first. I’d like to see the center position upgraded. The Bills need the center to be not just a pass protector, but a road grader as well. They need for the interior of their line to be able to gain yardage on runs. As currently constructed they aren’t able to do so and I think this disability begins with the center

Any dominant pass rusher-  always first and foremost


This year-  a fast RB that has an extra gear. Or a fast WR that is capable of getting 5-10 rushes a game. We need a serious threat running the ball.

 

OG-  someone that can not get wrecked by Chris Jones every time 17 drops back and is also a good run blocker.  
 

LB-  I think Milano is likely to leave based on the salary a team will offer him.  His replacement will be playing 100% of the snaps.  We need that player to be good.  Anyone have any good LB prospects I should look into scouting 1st?  I’be already caught up on Parsons, who will definitely be gone, Nick Bolton, Dylan Moses, Chazz Surratt and Owusu-Koramoah.  I’d love any of them, but they’re all 1st-2nd rounders.  How about the mid round guys?

 

CB 2-  we should always draft a corner or two and hope they turn out to be like Terrance Mcgee. 

 

Would love to land another TE but I feel McD is going to give knox a chance to be the man again, which I have no problem with.

CB - opposite Tre - past two years we did  some pricey FA shopping with Levi still  starting most games - an upgrade thru the draft while Levi is still around would be my first choice

 

LB - likely Milano replacement

 

TE - want a big sized guy with decent hands - Kroft is gone Lee Smith likely cut to save 2.2M - and Josh can throw back-shoulder to the big body

 

OL-DL - depth picks in middle rounds

 

late rounds - special teams or project types per usual

 

no qbs or kickers this year

RB: we NEED a running game.  A big, fast RB would be nice.  We have two slow back, and Yeldon, whom the coaching staff should play more.  

OL:  need to block for running and passing game. Can't let only 4 people get to Josh like last night

DL:  our DL is continually making tackles 5 yards past the line of scrimmage.  A 1T would be ideal, second is an Edge.  

LB:  could use a real MLB to move Edmunds outside, which hopefully helps the pass rush.  If not a MLB, then a pass rushing LB.  

Edge: see DL and LB above.  NEED to pressure the QB.  

 

I actually think that through the draft and FA we can address all of the above.

If Allen gets his contract extension, how the hell do you even retain what you have, let alone add in FA?

 

The draft is our only hope of adding weapons on both sides.

 

the contract would likely be structured in a way to allow FA additions.

I'm also fine with Knox being TE1.  He was good enough this year when called upon.  If Pitts for Fiermauth (sp--te from PSU) is there at 30 or 2nd round, respectively, I"d grab one.  Otherwise, fine with what we have and would upgrade other areas first.

It is a possibility that the Bills re-sign Feliciano and release Morse and draft a RG.

How many more times can I say running back

Allen’s on his rookie contract for two more seasons he matters little to this right now

If this offense could add an elite, or near elite, TE on offense that becomes an immediate safety valve, that’s a perfect upgrade for Allen. Get a bruiser of a RB and OL depth in the draft, if possible. 
 

Defensively, I’d look at nearly every position... starting with the trenches. Knock yourself out grabbing defensive talent this offseason, McBeane.
 

Just a couple of correct pieces on offense (and some depth), and devote everything else to getting the D back to top-5.

OL- especially in the interior. Both guard spots and center could use an upgrade.

 

RB- We missed out on both Fournette and Le’Veon Bell this season. Think the coaching staff knows they need an upgrade there. 
 

DE- Love Jerry Hughes, but he’s not the dominant pass rusher that teams fear anymore..and he’s prolly still our best Dlineman. That needs to change

 

LB- I think resigning Milano is a must. We saw how bad the defense was without him and with no guys in house to take over for him i don’t see how the Bills can justify letting him walk. Tremaine Edmunds the jury is still out on him. Has all the physical tools to be a great player but he doesn’t play like his size. His instincts are just a tad bit slow and I don’t thinks that’s something you learn. I think the clock is officially ticking on him. They won’t replace him next year but I could definitely see the Bills exploring their options in the draft. Remember Milano was a 5th round pick!

 

CB- I don’t think they are brining Levi back. Dane Jackson played some good ball when given the opportunity and has been called up from the practice squad multiple times. I think they give him a shot but it doesn’t hurt drafting depth there.

 

S- Safety is a sneaky position nobody’s talking about. But I think the Bills will

look into bringing a safety via the draft. Hybrid S/LB type.

First we need to extend key players for this team like Williams and Milano.

 

Draft

1. CB

2. D Line - Inside and Out

3. TE

 

Again, the sky isn’t falling and we went 15-3 in arguably a difficult schedule.  Everyone including me is pissed, emotional, upset, sad as we lost badly Sunday.  It doesn’t mean we didn’t beat a lot of tough teams.  We beat 6 teams that were top 10 all year, and another close to top 10.

 

If we could’ve beat the Chiefs, I contend we would’ve beat the Bucs.  The Chiefs are the best team in football and then there are the rest.
