On top of it, he will be a free agent after next year. Talk about a a wasted career. I would rather spend the time developing a younger guy in the draft. But right now, he is the starting RG, which is a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge Fournette fan. I don't think we could swing those figures, and I am fine with buying a budget version in Duke Johnson for this year. I don't really understand New England's flirtation with Fournette. Firstly the Cheatriots*** ran the ball very well last year with Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, both of whom they drafted. In addition Belichick isn't naive to be manipulated for leverage so what was the point of Fournette's visit to their facilities if they weren't gonna sign him? Did they really get played? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention their WRs (I can’t even name one after Ridley is suspended and Gage left) and their defense is nothing to write home about. They might not win a game. Yes, much worse. 21 hours ago, PetermansRedemption said: That “amazing QB draft” sure showed what I preached all along, no one can accurately project QBs. Might as well throw darts at their names on a board. One of the best QB drafts in ages produced one superstar in Allen, one above average starter in Jackson, one average to below average starter in Mayfield, one below average to bottom tier starter in Darnold and one guy who will be out of the league next year in Rosen. The ironic part of it is, a lot of rankings would have had those QBs flipped pre-draft. Because so much of it has to do with the team that drafted them putting that QB in a position to succeed.

I thought he looked good and then he was cut and we played the entire season with pretty much no #2 tight end. Plus he had that connection with Josh. Good luck to him. Wasn't that outrageous. It was more confusing than anything else But c/w how this regime works. They value their own and Sweeney was an unknown given his OCVID issues and he flashed a little in his rookie year.

Round 1 Bills should go CB, but they definitely need to address the oline whether it’s depth or competing for a starting spot. Will likely need at least 2 picks spent on the oline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we willing to roll the dice on our season by waiting till the later rounds to fill RG? If we have a Cody ford type RG, it’s gonna make it that much harder to win the SB. Maybe we shuffle another 3-4M down the road and sign a guard on a 1 year deal. And then we’re in the same position next year. I hope Bates returns and we can draft a guy in rd 2-4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree not a first rounder (should be CB/WR etc), but a solid pick. Then again we saw a 2nd round pick in Ford, and a 5th in Teller.... I'm not sure how I feel about McBene and their talent evaluation/ coaching on OL/DL TBH. Based on what I saw in Chicago, they can use all the OL help they can get, much like New England, even with their recent additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Now. We want our TE2 to be able to block. That was proven this season when hollister was cut. It was proven again when Sweeney was inactive for the last 1/5 of the season and Doyle was the TE2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
