It's amazing how one move has increased my confidence in the direction the Bills are headed. Just earlier today I was a little depressed to see another wiley vet on his way out of Buffalo (thinking the Bills would be getting draft picks instead of impact players). But now with the addition of Walker, a guy that will compliment Triplett very well, my confidence has returned.
Here's why:
Defense:
DE: Kelsay, Schobel, Hargrove, and Denney
DT: Tripplet, Walker, McCargo, Williams (buh-bye Timmy Andersuck)
LB: Ellison, Crowell, Haggan, DiGiorgio, Wire
- hardly seems great, but if the Bills have a chance at nabbing Willis in the first round, then all is forgotten.
CB: McGee, Thomas, Youboty (this is my only gripe on this D. I belive we a good starter here too.)
SS: Whitner, Leonard/Wire
FS: Simpson, Leonard
Offense:
The offensive line roster is the best it's been in recent years. Dockery upgrades the interior line without having to play a single down. I'm a little worried about the right tackle position, but we will see what the FA cat has dragged in out of Oakland. Maybe Langston will be a suprize addition. I liked the Cieslak additon last year and I wouldn't be suprised to see him pass Royal on the depth chart this season.
I think we are just fine at WR. Evans is going to be one of the best in the business, and the rest just need to be hard working agressors milking defensive zones.
Obvioulsy the Bills need to address their running situation. Signing Chris Brown would only be a band-aid, and Damion Shelton is just not that good at FB.
RB is one of those positions that can easily be filled in the draft, where as lineman tend to take longer to develop. Signing a good RB in the 2nd, isn't a bad move. Especially if the youngin' can ride along the side of an A-Train for a year taking time to develop appropriately.
So, right now, my biggest concern for this team is:
A) LB
B) RB
C) CB
I can see the Bills addressing these positions in the draft accordingly. I gives me hope, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to this draft.
