BillsPride12 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I was actually pretty shocked when I read on here this Summer that we had the oldest roster by average of age in the NFL...also hard to believe guys like Dawkins and Milano have been in the league as long as they have already. Time flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If Cook continues to do well and Bernard holds his own, the opinion on the 2022 draft class will change. Add a real find in Benford and that's pretty good. Elam is the question mark but maybe it's more they struck gold with Benford vs. Elam is a bust, it could be they have 2 good CBs. Shakir is a contributor from the 5th, Spector made the team 2 years. The Araiza thing was unfortunate. So far the '23 draft is looking good. Very valid point made by many about oldest vs. youngest team not being a big difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily become much younger next year if we are replacing Hyde, Poyer and spending draft picks on the DL again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Wonder if we pay Davis if he has a great year. I was in the super minority that we re sign him this past off season and draft a Diggs replacement in a year or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the super minority that we re sign him this past off season and draft a Diggs replacement in a year or 2 I've wondered this as well. Especially if we're looking at wholesale changes on the Defense. Can probably move off Morse if we want and have Bates move into the Center role. If we extend Davis, all we're really looking to fill on Offense (fingers crossed on Brown at RT) are some depth roles. Would allow the team to focus on DL and S in the draft to restock DT, EDGE and Safety with some young talent. That being said.. I could go either way on Davis, because 15M or so on Davis (if that's feasible) might be better spent on extending Jones and Floyd, while using an early pick at WR. And even then, to get under the cap with spending like that could require a surprise cut to Tre White if he doesn't bounce back to reliable high end CB1.

Charles Romes Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Move benford to safety and our entire secondary starts to look young. Looking forward to seeing young Jonathan and VanDemark play more as the season goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could also move McGovern to Center and start Edwards at LG granted we'd have to sign Edwards long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers would still count I think, unless they him to IR or PUP and bring in someone else to take his place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's fully back and a legit CB1 but I haven't seen all 22 breakdowns. That 1 on 1 vs Wilson was damn near perfectly played, the ball just took a fluke bounce into Wilsons body 3 hours ago, Charles Romes said: Move benford to safety and our entire secondary starts to look young.

GoBills! Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Elam being a bust and Benford being. a starter is fine. 49ers took Trey lance (lost a ton of draft capital) then Brock Purdy later one. Well they only hit on the second one. They are still employed so I'm not angry at Elam yet. Maybe try him as SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 You don’t want to be too old and you don’t want to be too young on a team. Veteran experience is important and being able to stay healthy is also important. Younger people tend to heal faster I know, because I am not young, and it takes me forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
