Process Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) I think you can make the case that our 22 starters are already on the roster. There's also no doubt we can still upgrade at several spots. Who are you comfortable with starting and where do you want to see us upgrade? WR- 99% of us want the Bills to take a WR in Rd 1 to be the WR2 and eventual WR1. Do the Bills see it that way or are they good with Shakir/Samuels/Holllins? LG- Good with Edwards starting? I think so. Rest of unit is solid. DE- As of two months ago Von could barely move. The hope is he can contribute next year but I doubt he ever gets back to a starting role. AJE is better suited as a depth piece. If they don't go WR in Rd 1 DE is the only other position that makes sense. We could definitely use an upgrade here. SS- Whether you like it or not I think it's safe to assume Rapp will be starting. FS- Id prefer Edwards be in a backup role, but also don't love a backup S making $2.8M+. Probably roll with him as the starter for this year and draft a guy in the middle rounds to compete and hopefully take over in 2025. Would have preferred they found a way to free up some extra dough for Blackmon. We are in pretty good shape heading into the draft.

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Right now I think Rapp and Edwards are placeholders at safety and a rookie will be brought in to compete for one of the starting spots. DT is thin and at least one rookie will be added to the rotation. We added Samuel and Hollins, but I still don't think we have a true #2 receiver after losing Gabe Davis. This is a deep draft at receiver and I think we should take the best available at #28. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Not much. If we stood pat right now, we'd be okay heading into the season.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Safety Punter RB2 X WR The two safeties they have are second tier guys. They probably start but hopefully they draft a rookie that pushes one of them out of a starting job by mid season. Of course it all changes if they move Benford to safety. I don't see that happening now. I'd draft the best punter in the draft in the 5th round and get rid of both Martin and Haack. Since RB is really a rotation, I think RB2 is not on the roster yet. DL is also a rotation and they need two more bodies one a NT type and a speed edge rusher. I see Samuel as more of a guy that will take snaps away from Shakir in the slot and be the primary backup when Diggs is not on the field. The traditional X WR is waiting to be drafted. 4 minutes ago, Bangarang said: Unless Von becomes an elite player again I fear our pass rush is going to be severely lacking Why?

I differ a little bit in a couple places. WR: I think WR high in the draft (I don't insist on Rd 1 or lobby for a trade-up) is a necessity, and maybe double down later in the draft, as they did with Elam/Benford. I agree with ? @GunnerBill (I think) that the Bills not restructuring Diggs contract, indicates that Beane sees the writing on the wall and wants to move on when feasible, but I think they also realize they need to "up" their WR game and have at least 2 "good" WR plus a good slot - as they did in '20 with Diggs, Brown, and Beasley and in '21 with Diggs, Sanders/Davis and Beasley. Curtis Samuel should fill that Beasley role. I was impressed by the jump Shakir took last year, but I'm not persuaded he's scaring anyone. More, please. DL: Depending upon who they sign in FA, I hate to say it but I view DT as a crying need. Right now we have Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones, and Eli Ankou backing them up. Jones only played 7 games last season, and only 60% of the 1TDT snaps the year before. We have the 2 starters, but even if we move away from McDermotts heavy rotation we need more depth for injuries. You're right that DE is still a need, with our rotation being Rousseau, the Ghost of Von Miller, and Epenesa right now, with Casey Toohill and Kingsley Jonathan in the mix. We could really use a starter opposite Rousseau (replacement for Floyd) OL - I think you're correct that we have our starters penciled in, but I'm not happy with Spencer Brown at RT and I think they should look for a C they can develop (not necessarily a "utility knife" C/LG/RG backup) and depth at G. Keep in mind while McGovern is happy to play C, he really hasn't done so in the NFL, and when he did, it was with a different technique than Kromer teaches. LB - still need depth, I think. I guess we'll see what Dorian Williams looks like, and in theory Nicholas Morrow should be an upgrade to The Ghost of AJ Klein, but I dunno about Baylon Spector. Beck to Beane: "Please Sir, Can we have Some More?" Safety - Ugh! You may be happy with the idea of Rapp and Edwards starting, but my limbic system alerts at the thought. I think Edwards actually has some promise, but I thought Rapp was a danger to his fellow Bills last year. Has Edwards contract been reported yet? It's not up on Spotrac as of...right now. CB - I think Benford and Douglas start (sounds like a law firm!) but I hope Elam finally takes a step, and I'm not as persuaded by Cam Lewis as some here are. At a critical and high injury rate position like that, we need depth. I think Beane and McDermott will look to the draft. Overall, I agree that we have a decent set of starters already on the roster, but I think we need about 3 upgrades to feel confident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he good last year? I don't recall him making many plays and also giving up a TD or two. Who knows who was actually responsible though. I say move on and get younger. Edwards looks like he is good enough to be adequate back there. Hope they draft one. I would have gone WR, Edge, and then S in top 3 rounds prior to FA.

Shaw66 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I think you can make the case that the Bills could play the season (barring injury) with guys currently on the roster, but I don't think the 22 starters actually are on the roster. In the first place, it's quite likely that their first and second round picks will start, if not in September, at least by November. Just off the top of my head, I'd say this: Maybe the DT starters, technically, are on the roster (Jones and Oliver), but the rotation guys are like starters, and I'd guess there's another DT coming, and an edge. I think a starting safety is coming, somehow (unless my theory about Taron Johnson moving turns out to be correct, in which case the safeties are on the roster, but one of the three starting corners is not). I don't think the starting wideout is on the roster. I just don't see the Bills going with Diggs-Samuels-Shakir. Maybe Shorter comes out of nowhere, but I doubt it. There might be a guard who shows up. Whether all those guess are right, I don't know. Only one of them has to be right to prove that all the starters are not yet on the roster.

Billl Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The biggest need on the team, IMO is a pass rusher. Floyd led the team with 10.5, and he's gone. Oliver had 9.5, but that was a massive outlier for him. He had 9.5 in his previous three seasons combined. I think his number decreases a bit next year, and maybe Von gets a couple to make up the difference. That puts a lot of pressure on guys like Rousseau and Epenesa who have yet to really prove themselves as pass rushers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 At defensive end, Von Miller is less than a sure thing as a starter, At safety, I feel better about Edwards as a starter than I do about Rapp. I think Rapp lacks athleticism and coverage ability. The Bills at least need one quality starting safety. The Bills have receivers I would be comfortable starting, but I'd still like to get one of those sub 4.4 big guys in the draft with my first round pick. They're going to need a #1 receiver sooner or later. Every season it becomes a little more likely that Diggs will leave. After all there is talk of a trade right now.

The Bills have no one that can get to the QB quickly. While I don’t have an issue with them taking a DE worthy of the selection, I fear that they will reach in the first to try to fill that need. As it stands they’re going to have to manufacture pressures with scheme and blitzing. That only goes so far though. I’m not comfortable with Rousseau and Epenesa as the starters. If we don’t get much from Von, the. that’s where we are. I just don’t see two starting DEs on this team today. WR is a close second. The Bills really need an X, but they have three WRs that can go in week one with Diggs, Samuel and Shakir. If they’re going with a rookie to fill that - and I’m 99.9% sure that’s the direction they’re going - then they have to get the player in this draft. That will also ease the transition away from Diggs. Edited March 21 by BarleyNY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could be right - though unsure there will be a really good prospect at DE available at 28. I was pleasantly surprised at how much havoc Chop Robinson created in a couple of games I watched, while he had a few good pressures, he couldn’t get home. So, maybe on him. If they were higher in round 2 maybe Braswell. I guess some like Kneeland - I have to find and watch some of his games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in pretty good shape heading into the draft. Not sure 99% want us to use a 1st round pick in year with good depth. Sounds like made up percentage. Major advantage is 5th year contract but at cost of current WRs it may not be worth it. This year has a lot of projected depth in WR as well so Bills could take one in 2nd and another later and one could help with special teams.

Yantha Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 not in any particular order.... OC Safety WR EDGE LB DT I'm hoping for BPA as positions of need (above) for MOST of the draft. Let the board do the talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterStrategist Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Biggest need is pass rush, the Rd1 WR fans won't like that though. I'd breakdown into "starter needed", "should look to improve", "depth needed": Starters (2): WR-X, DE Improve (4): LG/C, DT3, FS, RB2 Depth (5): T, IOL, DT, LB, CB. Highest need is OL depth IMO, then secondary and then DT4 Coincidentally, that's 11 players=11 picks. I'd be shocked if our first 2 picks aren't DE/WR, in either order. After that, BPA in the improvement category, I'd think DT3 has slightly higher impact than the others (and RB2 could be a FA post draft) This might be the first year that Beane trades back (ie: get a 2nd and 3rd). We might be best off on this path, if we find a trading partner. Theoretically, could then go: Rd2: WR-X (tier 2 of guys, which is like a 1st in any other year), DE (tier 2, which would be all we need if Von rebounds) Rd 3: either Dt or S- I'd prefer a DT, given it's importance in rotation That would fill out our top needs quite nicely, and balance out the DL/pass rush and WR. Just hope Edwards/Rapp overachieve, or we hit on a S in Rd4+ Edited March 22 by MasterStrategist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
