TheWeatherMan Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I don’t think is fair to compare Keuchley to Edmunds. Also McD had had a top 3 CB at the time on his roster who got paid by Washington and stopped trying. I’m picking up what your putting down on the importance of continuity of captaincy but let’s be honest Von can fill that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keuchley is a near Hall of Famer so a comparison is unfair to most LBs, the point is that they both had/have a very crucial role in McD's defense. At one time, McD had two starting rookies CBs and has always had one who was pretty average. Not so at the MLB. As for captaincy, many players could be a captain but there was a reason Edmunds was picked at such a young age. That trait is not easily replaced.

TBBills Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Bills need two good CB's for the season. They can draft one but I feel they need one vet to serve as #1 until Tre is healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I think most fans want a vet CB plus a pick in the first two rounds. I think a high pick is likely needed too but not signing a vet CB might be a sign that the coaching staff and organization like what they have so to speak at the position.

John from Riverside Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 2 hours ago, TheWeatherMan said: You mean like the one Edmunds continually misses 😂. In all seriousness, he’s still extremely you and has tons of untapped potential but his salary does not match his play IMHO. An upgrade at CB (especially if Tre misses time) could arguable be more pivotal to the Def than a MLB. I’m not sold on a rookie DB improving our SB odds next year. In the future, yes, just not this year. I want to see what Edmunds looks like with improved DT play.......D. Jones is a true 2 gapper.....lets see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasNootz Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 A) the Bills board might not be the same as “analysts”. Their top 3 could include someone who is 5th or 6th in current mocks. B) if they reach tier 2 of CBS and a tier 1 WR is there, I think they go WR and trade up to get a Tier 2 CB earlier in round 2. C) they’ve show they’re willing to trade up to get “their guy”. It worked for Allen, failed for Ford and is TBD on Edmunds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have 8 picks and a deep roster, I’d be surprised if more than 6 stuck with the team. Last year 2 players drafted got poached off the practice squad, don’t think Beane wants to waste assets like that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure what they could be looking at that they would like right now. Siran Neal, Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis - don’t think any of them should be starting at CB for a team that hopes to get to and win the Super Bowl. Really, they need to do better than that if they want to beat Miami who now has maybe the best WR and TE combination in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them trade up for a WR, but not really a CB. Their zone defense hides deficiencies in CB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaCrispy Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I think I’m leaning toward Andrew Booth, then McDuffie, because of the arm length...But both are solid prospects for #25... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get by with just one less person in coverage, you open up the possibility of taking down a QB or getting a TFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the secondary can’t cover for a bit, pass rush doesn’t have time to get the QB. In addition, if the corners can cover they can play more aggressively on D which would also help the pass rush. I’m not saying that you are wrong - both are important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
