Doesn’t seem too bad!

Idk. I really really hoping for us to acquire 4 All-Pro lineman this off-season. 2 G, 1 C and 1 T. Dawkins is fine for now but we could start looking for an upgrade there after this year. Evidently Beane doesn’t care too much about protecting his franchise QB or running the ball. 
 

Could’ve easily acquired 4 All-Pro linemen.

Ford needs to show tremendous improvement to think he'd be blocking for Allen anytime soon. He was definitely a weak link last season. You'd think a guy that big wouldn't get body slammed the way he did at times. Hopefully he did a whole bunch of technique work in preparation for the up coming season.

I see no reason why I should assume Ford is going to start. He’s honestly been pretty bad so far. 

We're a pass heavy team and he was our best pass blocking guard last year. Boettger, Feliciano, and Ford all gave up 0 sacks and Ford averaged the most snaps between pressures allowed. He certainly hasn't lived up to expectations yet but he's far from a bad player.

CS, I expect the same.  Not sure where in the draft, but it makes sense.  I think they will be smart and matchup BPA to Need.  That’s what most teams do in the draft.  They single out say four position groups and then stack up their board.  Whoever’s highest in each slot gets the nod and so on.  Beane will hit on some and miss on others just like other very good GM’s.  Looking back on 2020, the jury is out on Epenesa and Hodgins given Hodgins injuries, but Davis, Bass, and I believe Dane Jackson were or are going to be hits.

The decision to keep 9 or 10 will depend on the overall quality of the roster. Right now it looks like 10. The most competitive groups currently are DL and WR. Don’t see any tough decisions elsewhere?

Hoping he could be there for us in the late third. His stock has been rising a lot ever since the Senior Bowl. @GunnerBill what do you think? 

 

I have a 3rd on him and I think that is likely where he goes, but he could sneak into the bottom of round two. I doubt he gets to the Bills' 3rd round draft spot.

GB - do you think his game will translate well into the Bigs?  one think i noticed is that mot of those pancake blocks are happening when DEs or LBs are taking a bad angle to the play, he probably wont see as much of that on Sundays.

 

If so though, i absolutely love his nastiness and how he finishes plays and seems like might be worth a 2nd round pick

Google Quinn Meinerz senior bowl and check out the videos - seems like a match made in heaven, eh

It is a good point. He is limited athletically. I think you want him in a man scheme.
