With Neal out, i do think its something they draft in that 4-5 round range in this years draft though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what several of us hopped McDermott had fixed within himself this offseason. Odds are We are going to spend money we don't have to for a veteran safety. Move Johnson and or draft one between rounds 4-6. How would be creating a need by moving a guy who has consistently played at a very high level at a position be common sense? You have no guarantee that Johnson would be able to play at a high level at safety, and he's a top 3 Nickel CB in the NFL. This idea has about as much common sense as the jabronis on WGR calling for Allen to line up at LB during the playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 If he checks out medically and can be signed on a relatively good deal, that would take care of the last starting hole on the team other than Boundary WR.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 40 minutes ago, Cray51 said: Rapp and Blackmon were always the budget starting safeties I would target in FA year one of my Madden franchise. Blackmon is a good athlete, and put him in with a guy like McD, and I think he could be a long term option for this team. Completely agree. Do I want the Bills to draft alternatives? Absolutely. But Blackmon and Rapp are complementary to each other and a tandem like that would mean that the Bills are not forced into overdrafting or rushing in someone who isn't ready. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 1 hour ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Bringing in a guy hurt 2 years Ina row, including a torn Achilles. Right... Major difference between a DB coming off a torn ACL and then an Achilles and a player 2 years removed from an Achilles and coming off a Shoulder. And even with the latter scenario, we're still having an extensive medical work up done that may or may not result in a signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be overly worried about Lewis, but I would prefer him as a backup for sure. Certainly would not want Hamlin as a starter. McDermott knows what he is doing with the secondary, though. That's a position group we should all be trusting him on. His track record is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be alone - well, I mean most Bills fans that I know agree. Tre was good but wayyy overhyped. Anyway, yes.. I am not a fan of his. No biggie. I wish him well. I just hope he goes to the AFC East so we can have free reign all day to his side. But back to the REAL player - Blackmon. That dude can HIT!!!!! Him and Rapp would be lethal babyyy!!!
