I’m fine if we invest a 1st-3rd pick on WR and sign a cheaper FA. Preferably not a guy that can only play the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably not a guy that can only play the slot. I could understand an argument that a 1, 2 or 3 pick could be used on a WR. Yet, I could see an argument for DE, CB, OL (backupOT/Possible starting OG), TE, etc. I think this year especially they will want to go with their BPA at each of the first 3 picks. Picking very late in the rounds, it would be prudent not to reach to fill any needs. 38 minutes ago, ngbills said: Which is why he got a $2.5M deal with only $1M guaranteed. Worth the risk as a #3/#4 speed receiver. You can give it a year or even cut bait sooner and does not cost much. Understand, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking very late in the rounds, it would be prudent not to reach to fill any needs. Understand, thanks. For sure. I’ve spent some time scouting this wr group and there are several guys that I’d be interested in in each of the top 3 rds. Maybe they all get snatched before their respective round of value, but I think there will be someone available worthy of being at least close to BPA.

I mean there’s definitely still time for something big to happen but I’m starting to get a little antsy There is still a ton of players not signed and more getting cut every hour. Beane is patient. We are not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark92 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I think Beane knew a lot of players will be released before FA officially opens tomorrow. Wait and let a reasonable priced veteran fall to you at a position of need. Edited March 16, 2021 by Mark92 Spelling error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 2 of the top teams in the AFC signing 2 of the best FAs. Spotrac says the Bills have 10 mm in estimated cap space (although I don't see Feliciano on there). With available cap space we could barely afford a WR2 let alone the rest of what OP was hoping we'd sign. Beane's "splash" was keeping Milano, Williams, and Feliciano. 6 million of that has to pay for draft picks. Not sure when you checked but Matekevich reworked his deal since Feliciano signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the Chiefs, but don't be worried about the Titans. Dupree is an upgrade for them at edge rusher, but he's a solid, try hard player rather than an elite one. Autry was a sneaky good move by them as well. But they've lost Jonnu Smith and Corey Davis already. Adam Humphries, Kalif Raymond, Malcolm Butler, Jadeveon Clowney, DaQuan Jones, Desmond King, and Jayon Brown are all UFAs hitting the market and they've released Dennis Kelly, Adoree Jackson, and Kenny Vaccaro already. They have limited cap space and have proven to be pretty brutal at drafting in recent years. Their defense was awful last year and is probably less talented as it stands given the additions/subtractions and now their offense is literally either Derrick Henry or AJ Brown. They need to make some serious moves and hit on their top picks to make the playoffs in 2021 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein's Dog Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Logic said: One of my favorite bargain options, FA WR John Ross, just signed with the Giants for $1M guaranteed. Darn it. On the positive side, it just might start a trend of reasonable prices. Could start showing J Brown that he needs to seriously reduce his expectations. Would like to have J Brown come back and get another youngster to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2zipper Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Everybody has to get under the cap by tomorrow, so all of the cuts haven't rolled in yet. Cornerback and wide receiver look deep even before the cuts, so I think Buffalo is going to look there for The replacements of John Brown and Levi Wallace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR is a need. That’s not to say we need a #2 wr or pay one big bucks....but we need another good wr on this team. I have no doubt that we will make that happen. We’re a pass heavy offense and that isn’t likely to change very much. One WR gets hurt and we’re in trouble. We had Diggs, Cole, Brown and Davis vs the chiefs.....and no one could get open. I agree with the fact that we need a guy for numbers sake and I guess they just signed E. Sanders. He will be a solid vet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
