Brand J Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 There’s certainly great depth on the interior now. Bates is an average guard, but a worthy starter. Interested to see how it all plays out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopey Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 2 hours ago, Big Blitz said: McGovern was insurance - he isn’t starting after the Torrence pick. I was never a fan of the signing. I guess a pass pro upgrade over Saffold. But this group needs NASTY and to RUN THE BALL IN THE RED ZONE: Dawkins - Bates - Morse - Torrence - Brown, but the good version. McGovern Edwards Mancz Ques Doyle I think Bates moving back to LG will help him and Dion. Morse, Bates and Dion is a pretty good left side of a line.

QLBillsFan Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I think McGovern starts at LG after the contract he hit got. Bates and Andrews fill in as needed. Great depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does Bates or Edwards have a chance of starting over Torrence, and McGovern plays RG? Where is Broerker? 4 hours ago, Ed_Formerly_of_Roch said: Or could they make a more shocking move and cut Morse? Bills clear $6 million of cap space cutting Morse. 4 hours ago, GunnerBill said: At this point if I suggested Terry Pegula at right tackle I think you'd be willing to give it a chance if it means less Spencer Brown haha. Not Terry, but definitely Jessica Pegula, much higher level of athleticism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 LT - Dawkins - Gouriage - Quessenberry LG - McGovern - Boettger - Broeker C - Morse - Bates RG - O’Cyrus - Edwards RT - Brown - Gouriage - Doyle Projecting UDFA Gouriage to make the team and push for starting RT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either in Boettger's spot, on the PS, or cut outright since he was a late 7th and unlikely to ever actually play. Not counting on him for anything but camp body.

Yantha Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I think that the price for Taylor Lewan might be within reach now that the draft has settled. I've read (can't verify) that the Dolphins have interest. I'd rather see Lewan as our Right Tackle next to O'Cyrus Torrence. https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/taylor-lewan-claims-miami-dolphins-have-called-him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely!! 4 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Bates can play OT. Doyle was awful before the knee. He is done. Bates is the perfect utility tool. In a perfect world Torrence starts at RG and McGovern is good enough to beat out Bates at LG. Then you get one more year out of Morse and Bates is your starting C in 2024. Unfortunately at this point it is Brown or bust at RT. The run on quality OTs hurt the Bills options. Next year they may need to draft two OTs if Dawkins regressed further and Brown doesn't get better. 3 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: Wait...you think they might cut or trade O'Cyrus who we just took in the 2nd round? He was one of your bolded players you mentioned. Absolutely! Easy when posting that the words don't reflect what the mind is thinking. I highlighted the 6 just to say we have 6 interior lineman and typically only five are kept so one is likely gone off 53. thee consecutive thoughts, all bundled into ole bolded text. Doubt anyone goes anywhere till the end of August just in case a bad long term injury Of the 6, McGovern and Torrance are the two locks to stay. IMO Ike B is the easiest to cut and bring back on PS Bates would likely want to be kept for his versatility, but he also may bring the most back in trade value. If thinking about the future, then Morse is best to let go as likely with the others all being younger, this is probably Morse last year so rather than risk losing one of the others now and then Morse in another year, let him go now. As someone else stated, cutting bates saves $6 mil. Ideally trade him, but unlikely anyone would take on that contract. Once you get beyond the two locks Edwards has the least history with the team so unless he impresses in camp, he could become the easiest to cut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90sBills Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Bills OLine looks terrific after the draft! What was a weakness could be a strength. Good thing too because Chiefs and Bengals massively upgraded their DLine. Can’t wait until the games start! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From March: https://billswire.usatoday.com/2023/03/20/buffalo-bills-interest-brandon-shell/ haha, that was right after the Bills played down there in 2019. We won a tough fought game. Lawson and Phillips were jawing HARD and all over Lewan. Both had a really good game, I think Phillips had 3 sacks, and then baited Lewan into a bad penalty at the end that killed their drive. Good times. Love those guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
