2003'2 2007 Bills off-season (v.2)

[2003]

********** A Marv Levy, Unpredictable Off-season*********

Re-sign- Chris Kelsay (he wants to return and he is pretty good), Coy Wire (he is a very versatile vet), Mike Gandy (hopefully, he'll be pretty cheap, and he is one of the leaders of the offensive line), Anthony Thomas (good backup, with the type of heart Marv is looking for), Anthony Hargrove (this guy was another steal by Marv. He has more enthusiasm than most fans!), Jabari Greer (he provides good depth)

 

Sign-

WR Donte Stallworth (For some odd reason, I can't see him re-signing with Philly. He is the most talented FA WR and Marv will open up his wallet for this signing.)

OG Floyd Womack (All that interest in Womack from the previous offseasons will finally pay off. With the help of McNally, this 330ilb o-lineman will turn into a run blocking RG)

DT Hollis Thomas (He may be getting up there in age, but the guy can play. He is a very balanced DT, he can stop the run and sack the quarterback. He will come in, teach his fellow DTs a few things, and play good on the field.)

FB Heath Evans (He'll be the Bills FB and hopefully he can spill some information about his former patriots)

http://www.patriots.com/team/index.cfm?ac=...o&bio=31576

 

C Alex Steponovich (He started every game in his rookie year for the Cards before being plagued by injuries. He is now the backup for ARZ, but he has plenty of talent. This will be one RFA that Marv will actually sign (the Bills would lose a 4th rd pick).

TE Visanthe Shiancoe (The guy is very good, too bad he is the back up to Shockey. He is a big TE (6'4 250) and he and royal will make a solid pair of TEs)

DRAFT

Rd.1) Patrick Willis LB MISS- This guy is arguably the best prospect entering the draft since Ray Lewis!

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingr...rickwillis.html

Rd.2) Fred Bennett CB SC- He has tons of potential and is a workout warrior. He will come in and play NB from day one.

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingr...rickwillis.html

Rd.3) Tony Hunt RB PSU- He is the biggest back (he runs a bit like Travis Henry) entering the draft and will be an insurance plan for Willis McGahee.

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingr...b/tonyhunt.html

Rd.6) Travarous Bain CB HAMPTON- He is a stud corner from a small school. He is a project pick.

http://www.hamptonpirates.com/roster.asp?p...=18&sport=1

Rd.7) Laurent Robinson ILLINOIS STATE- A tall (6'2) reciever who dominated in 1-AA football.

- I know we traded our 5th for Hargrove, but where's our 4th?

 

- I don't think Holcomb returns next season. I believe we'll be drafting a QB in the later rounds to back up Losman and Nall. Holcomb always seemed to be an insurance policy if Losman didn't work out. Now that he's the man, Holcomb's expendable.

 

- Hollis Thomas was just suspended for Steroids. I don't know if that's something the Bills want.

 

- Melvin Fowler has been solid. There's no reason to replace him.

 

- I like Floyd Womack. But I think RT is more of a need than RG is.

 

- There's NO WAY Donte Stallworth leaves Philly. I highly doubt they traded for him and made him their premier WR just to let him walk after one season. If he did walk, i'd doubt he'd leave a better team where he was the #1 WR to come here and be #2. I hadn't heard he was a FA in the first place.

- Alex Steponovich would cost the bills a 4th rnder to sign.

- I think holcomb will return. If not, I don't think the Bills will draft a QB, I think they'd sign an old veteran who could teach JP a few things.

- I don't think that suspension would really matter in the minds of most gms. The guy plays great on the field and seems pretty good off of it.

- I think Terrance Pennington will start for years to come.

- He is a FA, and one can dream.

He gave the fourth to Arizona for their backup injury plagued centre

Not gonna happen, they seem happy with Fowler and already have 2 young recent draftees to backup Fowler

 

As for your comment about Womack BillsFanForever19, at RT we have someone who was a rookie at the position last season and played well, where at RG we had Duke Preston. RG is where the upgrade is needed more

You make it sound like Steponovich is in a wheelchair. The guy started in 04' but then he got some boo boos down the road.

[marauderswr80]

Stallworth has really come into his own when he signed with Philadelphia, Thats the same reason as to why I think he stays. I think he loves playing there, and hes getting the ball thrown to him now and hes been making huge plays for that team.

[Mike formerly from Florida]

RT is NOT more of a need than RG. The interior line of the Bills needs total upgrade (other than maybe Fowler). We are fairly set at the tackle position as it not a priority going into the draft.

 

MLB

OG

DT

WR

CB (assuming we resign Nate)

RB (fast 3rd down back who can catch)

TE (not as important if we find tall receiver)

 

Those are our needs in order as it stands today. I believe the Guard position is more important than DT because the offense needs to run-block better and retain longer possession. This will keep our D off the field at the end of games where we consistently blow games.

Switch MLB and DT on that list. The Line needs to be upgraded first, then LB. And after watching some of the recent playoff games and looking at some successful teams, TE should be a priority over WR (the Bills have alot of mediocre ones that are good enough with a great TE)

[N.Y. Orangeman]

Willis is a nice prospect, but the best since Ray Lewis?

 

Personally, I'll be disappointed if we select him at #12.

The reason put MLB first is because we currently have NO MLBs on the roster who can start there. We have some young DTs who will get bigger and stronger. No offense, my list is in order.
