I've read a great deal recently about how good it is that we seem to have got away lightly on not paying too much for our OL.
I also think that before the bye week, we possibly had one of the worse OL in the game, right down there with the Dolphins, Raiders and Cardinals.
I do hope that the situation gets better.
However I have done a little research on the current NFL rosters and the current Buffalo Bills are the only team that does not have a single player, either drafted by our selves or anybody else who was picked before Round 3.
I recall the great OLines of the SuperBowl era with Wilford on the left, and then his replacement by the Fina/Brown left side which kept us competitive. All Round 1 picks I hasten to add, and I cannot help to think that such quality presence helps bring along talent drafted lower.
Whilst there is no guarantee a top pick will succeed and that it is always possible to draft or pick up a diamond in the rough, I think our overall 'cheapness' in addressing this position, has led to our overall demise. Yes it can be stated that we signed Mike Williams who was a flop, but that should not prevent us from going after another top OL with our early picks as I am certain that Levy/Jauron who looked at work ethic and character with far more dilligence and rigour than Donahoe.
Irrespective of how Peters adapts, a Round 1 or 2 pick must be used on a top OL player
