JohnNord Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I believe this is a special teams signing. I sure hope it is….Dodson was not very good anytime he needed to play meaningful snaps during the regular season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Ho hum. They should have let him walk so he counted as a free agent lost in the comp pick formula. I beleive he would have qualified. For backup MLB I'd rather have Klein. Bernard probably sucks but he was a 3rd round pick and he should be at least good enough to be a warm body to backup Milano. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 He's great depth, and ST. He has played pretty well at various times when he's in there. I'm sure we still have plans to sign a replacement for Edmunds, or draft one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Love signing players 45-48 on the roster first. With Cam Lewis, Dodson, and Mataveich resigned, we can now focus on players 49-53 to get the Practice Squad out together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG Murdock Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Bills need to get on the stick, and quick. Good players are falling off the FA list hourly. Bernard looks like another wasted pick. I think for continuity, Bills should take a serious look at keeping Poyer! Bills can't lose both TE and JP and think their going to be the same or better. As of right now, the Bills are 3rd in the AFC East.. On merit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 1 hour ago, RoyBatty is alive said: His draft status is totally irrelevant. Yes and no. Like it or not a 3rd round pick is going to get more chances to make the roster than a third day pick or UDFA. It has no relevance on whether or not he will succeed but it does on the opportunities he will be given by the regime that drafted him so high. Who is to say if Bernard will develop or not? Sample size is too small, but so is he to play in the NFL. Ha see what I did there? Would be great if he can turn into a playmaker. Even if he gives Milano a few reps of rest during the game or plays the big-nickel or rare 4-3 OLB, he may be valuable. His role in the defense in OTA's and training camp will be an interesting watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-year window is closed. Still need starters at RB, WR, preferably both G and OT, Edge, MLB, and S. It ain't happening. Dam that is bleak even for some of us contrarians. Let's take each listed spot RB - dime a dozen. They have Cook and Hines already. They may yet get a Williams but honestly a 3rd day RB in the draft would be fine. Cook already took the starting role down the stretch. Hell Singletary market may be so dry he might even be an option to come back. WR - no argument there. They need another WR to go with Diggs and Davis. I'm higher on Davis than most but not as high on Shakir as most. I've been a huge Knox for for years. He should be the true #2 target but that may take a new OC. G - already signed a Saffold replacement that should be better in pass protection. Move Bates to LG and the interior OL is already better than 2022 on paper. Draft a C/G in top 3 rounds OT - Again no argument. They need a young OT to develop. Brown is a huge question mark and Dawkins regressed last year. I see OT in the first two rounds for sure. Edge - Nope. Rousseau is good and Miller will be back. They probably dumpster dive for a 4th DE to compete with Basham and Epenesa for the last DL spot. MLB - Wagner is your answer. S - Hyde is coming back from an injury he should be fully ready to go. Hamlin may yet play again. Benford will move to safety despite what McD is saying now. He is just saying Benford at CB while Poyer coming back is still a possibility. Once/If Poyer is gone Benford will be at Safety in the OTA's. It looks like a lot - but really it is WR, OT, and C/G with the first three picks, maybe one splash FA and a few cheap free agents. This could change if they get a WR in FA or via trade but no matter where a WR comes from they will add someone to compete with Davis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 It’s far more likely that relying on: Cook, Hines, 5th/6th-rd pick at RB; McGovern and Bates at IOL; 33-yr old Miller coming off knee surgery and not available until November; 33-yr old replacement for Edmunds; and Hamlin/Benford at S… won’t move the needle in areas where this Bills team desperately needs to improve. Wishful thinking can be fun I guess, but if this is the plan, then it’s most certainly a reset year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
