Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I hate acronyms for names, but the opposing team could already be at second and eight before the announcer gets SVPG's name spit out. 3 Quote

The oline has been a strength and looks like it will continue to be. He isn't playing because he isn't one of the 5 best. He is a depth player for us. Is he still a depth guy now? He’s the 3rd C without much versatility. Did the Cushenberry signing push him off the roster? Quote

khlax3 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 My guess is he gets traded. They will likely use some late round picks on guard and tackle depth but I think McGovern and cushenberry push him off the roster. Your not keeping 3 centers and cushenberry was the Center for lsu when Brady was there 1 Quote
dave mcbride Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: Lol, I already did that in the Wicks thread. So many teams are looking for OL depth. The Bills have it. I wonder if he can be packaged for Tyree Wilson or Kayvon Thibodeaux? Both of them are former top picks (Wilson 7th overall & Thibodeaux 5th overall) that seem like they need a change of scenery. Wilson is now down the depth chart after the Crosby trade blew up and Thibodeaux is in his last year. Those are 2 guys that feel gettable and would be worth the flier. Would SVPG and 165 get it done? It may be the case that he actually sucks. We just don't know, but if history is any guide, he probably does. Right now, he looks to be part of a long line of late-round o-linemen drafted by the Bills this century who can't cut it at the NFL level: Marcus Sullivan, Mike Pucillo, Dylan McFarland, Ben Sobieski, Justin Geisinger, Terrance Pennington, Brad Butler, Demetress Bell, Ed Wang, Chris Hairston, Mark Asper, Zebrie Sanders, Seantrel Henderson, Cyril Richardson, Tommy Doyle, Nick Broeker, and (probably) Chase Lundt. We'll see about Tylan Grable, and the one late-round success is a guy they let go: Wyatt Teller. Anyway, my assumption is that he has no trade value and will be out of the league in a couple of years. For his sake, I hope I'm wrong. Edited March 31 by dave mcbride 2 1 Quote

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Apparently he has T Rex arms, which makes becoming an NFL starting center a definite uphill climb. Quote
NoSaint Posted March 31 Posted March 31 You place him at guard all offseason and decide if you have a cheap swing IOL or if you need to try to move him and move on if he’s just a center 1 Quote

It seems Sedrick may be that. He needs to show he can play Guard if needed. He needs a good camp to stay on the team. I don't think he has any trade value. Quote

I think there's almost zero chance he beats out a guy with 50 career starts at center On the outside looking in of the roster without any position versatility If they can trade him for a sixth or a player swap who also hasn't worked out that would be the move 1 1 Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted March 31 Posted March 31 2 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: We’re in that part of the offseason that drags until @Virgil starts the mock draft threads. Instead of continuing to hammer on the same couple of topics, this feels like a worthwhile discussion. Entering the offseason I assumed that he may have a shot to be the C in 2026. Since then, the Bills have brought back McGovern & Anderson (who can play there). They signed Corbett (who can play there) and Cushenberry (who has only played there). SVPG is entering year 3 and has 1 year left on his deal after this. Anderson, Corbett and Cushenberry are all on 1 year deals (I think). What should the Bills do with SVPG? It looks like he has an uphill battle to be on the 53. Does he have trade value? Does he beat out Cushenberry? Does he move to G? Do they try to get him to the PS? How should they handle him moving forward? This is the most difficult question for fans to answer, or even have an opinion on (that wont stop us), because we have barely seen him play, if at all. I have NO IDEA how good this dude is or isnt. I think we have a decent bead on everyone else on the roster except this one guy. Which, in the world of pro sports, probably means he sucks. Back in the early McBeane days, Beane was a wizard at stock piling OL into camp and then trading away 1 or 2 for some late round picks. I wonder if we see that happen here again. Whether SVPG or whoever he beats out. This is the most interesting mystery to keep an eye on through camp. 2 1 Quote
somnus00 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Continue to develop. He's great depth right now. Next offseason, Beane has to decide on re-signing Torrance (and having the most expensive O-line in the league), or letting him walk. Having SVPG on the roster would be nice in that situation. Quote

He can't play Right guard so that means nothing He does not have position flexibility... It's physically tougher to play guard... And he's not even shown he's physically able to play center in the NFL That's why he's now number three on the depth chart.. cuz he's not improving fast enough If he was looking like a future starting center of the bills or guard.. he wouldn't be getting pushed out of the picture Edited March 31 by Buffalo716 1 1 Quote

I don't think he has any trade value. ultimately you have to decide if he’s that much better at center than the swing guys - and there’s no indication yet. but it’s got to be a noticeable margin for him - if he’s center only- to take a spot on the 53 and/or a jersey on game days away from someone with a larger role 1 Quote
transient Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Depends on how he's done with the training staff's offseason workout recommendations... 1 Quote

How should they handle him moving forward? Good topic. We have a great deal of depth on the IOL. I think the smart thing to do is let them all battle in camp and see how things play out. The competition is good for them and having an extra body in case of injury can really come in handy. Come mid August, if everyone is healthy, get on the phone and see if he can snag a 2027 draft pick. If the staff is out on SVPG and they don’t think he’s very good, get your 2026 draft if you can to ensure getting some capital for him. 1 Quote
HIT BY SPIKES Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) I am not happy with our Offensive Centre play and believe it may the be weakest link in our OL however SVPG is NOT the answer. I would like to draft either THE top OC in the 1st round or a top 3 OC in the 3rd round. Edited March 31 by HIT BY SPIKES 1 1 Quote
