No_Matter_What Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I just made this chart with actual Bills roster and would like to know what do you guys think. We have 75 players currently on the roster. Blue guys are draft picks, green are new FA acquisitions from offseason, red are UDFA signings. Players above the grey line made it to my initial 53 man roster, players below that line are potential PS players/cuts. The idea is just to see where we potentially stand. There are 25 offensive players, 25 defensive players and 3 special teamers. EDIT: Made a couple of changes after some discussions below. Put Stevenson in and moved Duke Johnson out (we are not keeping all RBs and we just drafted Cook). Also put Cam Lewis in and rookie Christian Benford out. At this stage, its Cam Lewis' job to lose. It is also likely that Tre doesn't start season on 53 so Bernard might get in this way. Also switched Dane Jackson and Siran Neal, Jackson was a starter last year and deserves to be higher.

Orlando Tim Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Nice job, I think Stevenson over Kumerow and Lewis over Benford but those will depend on training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybrew1 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I really think we NEED Stevenson to win that last WR job. I think we need more deep speed. But othwise, I think that depth chart is right on. Go Bills! 3 minutes ago, Trust The Process said: 34 minutes ago, No_Matter_What said: Whose your Return Specialist?

Thanks. Stevenson is obviously an option, but his rookie year was nothing to write home about. They kept Kumerow mainly for his ST ability and it might get him roster spot again. Lewis vs Benford is an interesting one, I was thinking about it a little. You are probably right that now it is Lewis' spot to lose. 27 minutes ago, Georgie said: Boettger ( healthy?) Shakir ( unless he returns kicks),Jones ( age and rookies on special teams ),Benford ( over Cam?) are my question marks. Yeah Boettger is definitely a question but right now I think its his job to lose. I am not sure about him - is is questionable if he is ready for the season? I read about Shakir that he is a return man and I think he is a lock even without it. Jones is obviously ST only so we need to wait and see if somebody takes his role. RBs are interesting overall. Devin and Cook are locks. Do we keep Johnson after we just dradfted Cook? Do we keep Moss? One thing I am sure that we will not keep all 5 (counting Jones). So there is actually an open spot somewhere else. I just don't know where so I keep it as it is now 9 minutes ago, Trust The Process said: 40 minutes ago, No_Matter_What said: Whose your Return Specialist? Shakir seems to be returner.

HurlyBurly51 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Don't write off Hodgins, I think he takes a step this year. Also Dane over Siran, right? He might even start the season over Kaiir (probably not though). 9 minutes ago, No_Matter_What said: Shakir seems to be returner. And Stevenson may be.

Rc2catch Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Definitely too early, and can’t rule out some of this rookie class being “injured” and hitting full time or short term IR. Mcdermott has been here long enough we know vets vs rookies and how playing time is distributed and the emphasis on special teams. And some of these guys have enough upside they might not be safe on the PS. These are the best problems to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more a leftover reaction from the drought-era, bring winners in to turn the team around. There’s something to be said for that when you see players go from bad team to bad team. And quite frankly when you’re a bad team it’s always about getting paid too dollar or just having a job when a free agent picks you. But when you’re already fielding a championship caliber team, then you don’t have to overpay for FAs. They come to you to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far superior in the passing game Duke Johnson has more talent than Moss but like Moss he flashed early and has not brought much to the table since his early success. You're right, he's better than Moss. Re: Hughes. It'd be nice to bring him back but we have been doing some interesting things on the DL. Basham on the inside and Oliver on the outside was a frequent experiment at the end of the season. This allow Basham to exploit his strength of quickness over slower interior OL. His hand quickness is a difference maker but be doesn't optimize placement. Whereas the opposite is true with Oliver. He's fairly tactical (good feet, good hands, good leverage) but he has a Chris Kelsey level of ceiling: he's not an all-star but he's well rounded and successful. Basham may have a higher ceiling.
