Bills’ greatest needs heading into the trade deadline?

[Don Otreply]

Functional defense 

 

Receivers that catch the ball at a high percentage on a Regular basis 

 

better play calling by the OC, combined with sharper execution by the players 

 

 

just my humble opinion,  some say I don’t have a humble opinion…., 😁🍸🚬

Shaheed and Budda Baker please

The more things change the more they stay the same.  IMHO the 3 biggest areas of need are the same as they were in the off-season. 1) WR, 2) CB, 3) S

 

1) The WR group of Palmer, Coleman, Shakir, Moore, Samuel and Shavers aren’t get the job done.  They just aren’t creating separation and aren’t getting deep.  We need a legit deep threat to stretch the field and have no one on the roster that can do it.  
 

2) CB - Benford is a given, but White is terrible and Hairston is just beginning to work his way back to the field and as a rookie has zero NFL experience.  We need a legit starter to play opposite of Benford sooner than later.

 

3) Safety - Bishop is improving, but Rapp should be a backup and Poyer isn’t the answer.  We need someone to pair with Bishop.  

 

I doubt Beane is capable of filling all these needs at the deadline, but if this is the season to go all in, maybe he can fix two of the 3. My choices would be a WR and a CB.

 

 

WR x2, DB'S x3

 So would DE.  

Hoecht becoming eligible not an upgrade? seems like he's a bit of a swiss army knife piece. e.g. Lorax 2.0

 I would love this if it happened.

A big nickel, we've lacked one since McDermott got here. 

[Tulsabillsfanz]

Safety, WR, CB & LB are all in need of major improvement.  I’m very disappointed, but not surprised that nothing has happened during our bye week.  
 

Beane & McDermott are lacking a sense of urgency in changing anything, despite serious concerns from the fanbase & media.  Let’s hope they actually have a plan for improvement and some tricks up their sleeves.

Are Wilkerson and Cain still on the practice squad?  Obviously they are not studs.  But both are better than Keon right now.  Sit the boys ass down for a few games, so he can learn his craft.  He looks like he has no idea what he is doing on the field.  That the Bills drafted a guy as raw as Keon with so little separation skills early in the second round, when WR was such an important need at the time is mind numbing.  

 

Who is our WR's coach anyways?  What is that guy even doing?  

Adam Henry. Recently completed his doctorate degree in educational leadership from Fayetteville State University. 

 

Good news is he has options if he gets canned.

[JimBob2232]

DB...100%.  Maybe LB.  WR is a need, but Josh can hang with this crew....Defense is the issue.

Olave or Shaheed for WR. 

 

If New Orleans wants a 1st rounder, just give it to them. Hopefully they go for a 2nd though. 

 

No receiver upgrade coming out of the deadline s a fireable offense.

I'd give our 1st for olave, because its hopefully a late or god willing the last pick. And a talent that olave was coming into the draft would never make it to the end of the 1st. Its a gamble because his injury history. But the talent is clearly there and he hasn't had quality QB play yet. Josh Allen is 29, its time to do another diggs type of trade.
