Straight Hucklebuck Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 It's just further confirmation that their approach is to run this thing back. Same caliber of FAs on the Offensive Line/WR, and doing everything they can to keep the defense intact. I think they're going MLB in Round 1, followed by DE and DT. I see the Shakir route (WR in Round 5) as the more likely path. At this point, I would be surprised if they go WR in Round 1. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t expect anything. I’m actually very glad that Shaq is back. I think he’s our 3rd best DE behind Miller and Rousseau. in fact I’m happy they did it because hopefully now they won’t waste a pick on DE in the draft. I was simply stating a fact based off your comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he wasn’t available in the playoffs but I do think things would have been different had he been. im sick of the excises too. I’m simply stating a fact that we did pick up a premier pass rusher, possibly the best option last offseason to help us with that. And we still don’t know what that would have yielded us.

Warriorspikes51 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 This is fine. He's a solid depth player. However, there are half a dozen quality Edge guys still on the market.

We’re cash-strapped while trying to maintain an excellent status quo. If we’ve learned anything, it’s that Offense WINS in the playoffs these days. I hope we concentrate on OL & WR in the Draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 49 minutes ago, BananaB said: Bills are just treading water until they eventually sink. Same guys every year that can’t get the job done against the teams we will face in playoffs. It’s like they’re terrified to tiniest step back. McD picks these same guys over guys he drafted just because they have more experience. Bills gonna have the same ending as the past 3 years, our D not showing up in the biggest game. Nah; I don't think the bolded is going to happen. Changing DC was the biggest move we could make. The players, for the most part, are not the issue. We have a lot of talent on our defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fan is excited about Bernard, Dodson or Spector competing. Maybe the Bills are telling the truth, and they think 1 of those 3 can be a starting MLB. If so, then WR is firmly in play at #27. But the other factor here is, there are only two linebackers in this draft that scouts are excited about as a starting MLB - Sanders and Campebell. If you pass on both of them at #27, are you betting that you can get one of them at #59? And with only (6) picks, can the Bills really afford to trade up? And so, it’s pass on Campbell/Sanders at #27 and then having to trade back 10-picks or so to get one of them, and what are you getting for that move down? A 4th?
