I think Darrick Forrest was a pretty significant signing at safety in FA.

Why is everyone all excited about a guy that was a bottom of the barrel signing?  He’s the Andy Isabella of Safeties.   If he proves me wrong, great.  If he gets cut for Hamlin, don’t be shocked.

Andy Isabella of safeties is better than the Damar Hamlin of safeties. He literally should be making hallmark movies instead of being on a football field, he’s that bad at safety

My two cents: because Jordan Poyer was in a fairly similar boat when we first signed him.

The optimistic and cheerful folks get excited by any signing.  The rest of us are happy when a weak position group gets some depth.  Forrester played reasonably well when fully healthy.  He won't make us forget Hyde or Poyer but he does make a weak group a little less weak. 

 

When you're close to being a SB contender, any little improvement is a cause for excitement, IMHO.

No comments about his weight or being a 1T?   Y’all are slipping 

Or asking the fan favorite of, “can he also catch?” One wonders by how much his 40 time beat Coleman? 🤔

Didn't we draft one as well? Jordan Hancock?

Camp body, but still weird to me to bring in an 8th pure DT.

The fact that Beane has done basically nothing to increase competition at S is the most perplexing non-move of the offseason to me. I 100% agree with the approach to prioritize the front 4, but I would have brought in a couple UDFAs and brought in some cheap options there that have real potential.

What Beane did to help at safety this coming season was to draft Cole Bishop in round 2 last season.

I am not saying that I agree or disagree about whether the Bills need more safety help. I truly don't know. 

 

However, Beane and McDermott have a reason for everything. They might choose the wrong guy here or there, but they know what they need. The fact that the Bills have done more or less nothing at safety can mean only one thing: they have what they need at safety. Your thought is the same thing many people, including me, were saying a couple years ago when Bernard, coming off a rookie season when he played little and didn't really impress, had no competition for the job. 

 

Put another way, if the Bills think they need someone, they go and get competition. Like DT this year, and corner. And wideout. If they aren't bringing in competition, it means they like what they have. 

 

Agree generally that McD should be trusted when it comes to the secondary, and especially with the S position. 

 

Disagree specifically that signing Forrest amounts to "more or less nothing at safety." Forrest comes in with more pedigree and better traits than Jordan Poyer had when he signed. SUPER athletic prospect who was fairly productive and flashed when he got his chance to start.
