Let's not and say we did.

 

Load up the DL all you want. It'll help the run game. But as far as pressure, roll back the same secondary and that ball's flying out of the QB's hand lightning fast and negating the rush - as was the case all last year.

 

Another year older and Douglas may be even worse than he was last year. There's a reason why we were in no rush to re-sign him and he's still floating around right now when teams need CB's. He was abysmal last season. I think he's hit the wall.

Douglas is easily a CB3  with Dane then being CB4

 

Draft a couple CB’s and let them compete for CB2

I think I'd rather try for Gilmore if you're going that route.

And Douglas as a big dime is a-ok with me.

Vet minimum kinda guy at this point.  I wouldn’t want him starting, that’s for certain.

We keep 5 CB's total generally, including Taron at Nickel (Codrington was the "6th" last year, but it was just for his Return role - otherwise they'd just have 5, with Cam Lewis as a floating backup NCB/S/ST hybrid). Right now we have:

 

Christian Benford

Taron Johnson

Dane Jackson

Ja'Marcus Ingram

 

Add Douglas and a "Draft a couple CB's" - and we'd need to cut 2 from that field. Ingram's been in our system for years and they like him quite a bit as a Reserve DB and Special Teamer. So you'd most likely be looking at one of Douglas or Jackson being cut, as well as one of the Rookies. Which depending on where they were taken, might not even be an option. 

 

Douglas is simply not worth bringing back. And their actions to this point say he wasn't in the plans. To go back to him would constitute a failure in addressing the position, in my opinion. I'd honestly trust Dane Jackson before Rasul Douglas, at this point. I think the team feels the same way.

I’d take him back at the right price..

[machine gun kelly]

I’d agree with CB3.  We have three picks in the first 2 rds.  With those picks we need a DT as a top priority, then either CB, and DE, or the reverse.  We have 2 4ths, and 3 5ths.  One of the 4ths should be a separating WR, and then whatever Beane thinks we need.  I’m very happy if we bundle up to get any higher out of these picks.  We don’t need 10 picks.  Maybe 6 or 7, but more than that would be lucky to make the team.

maybe, but I doubt he has any interest in coming here

[SoonerBillsFan]

Pass. Draft 2,one to be CB#2, and move on.

I don't know, really. I wouldn't conclude that, however, simply on the basis of past bitterness. 

A lot of time has gone by, and he's an aging vet trying to catch on. The Bills offer a chance to play for a team with genuine SB aspirations.

Anyone else notice that Benford says  “you know what I’m saying “ a lot … ? 

[4th&long]

So far it appears they have no plan for cb2.

Not bad for some camp fodder, but he won't beat anyone worthwhile out to make the final roster. 

[Aussie Joe]

When it comes to Rasul … I can’t recall the last Bills player before him that  I went from really liking to going absolutely stone cold on within the space of less than a season…

 

He really lived that cliche of turning 30 and falling off the proverbial cliff…

That’s the idea IMO.  Draft a rookie CB in R1/R2 and let them start.  Solid depth and ST ability w/ Douglas and Jackson

That's why I said "so far". 

 

Actually I'd take Douglas if their plan is a rookie. I'm not a big fan of rookies, he could be a good backup plan.

His people would be able to see him on TV every week though now
