and that right there is where I have had issue with the Bills strategy of maintaining the OL...
We've been traveling down this exact scenario for 10 years now. Rarely drafting an OL in the early rounds, or swinging and missing when we did, and depending upon players we draft late and develope and then hope it works out. We've lost this battle more then we have won it...
Our present stable is mostly a collection of above average depth players. We lack some serious draft day investments into our OL, and IMO it has killed us this entire playoff drought.
SO if the Bills go T @11 its a damn good idea, but they simply must invest into the OL and I sincerely hope they pull the trigger on a 1st or 2nd rd talent. I prefer T because we have a boat load of ???? marks with all of out possible LT candidates on the roster.
1.) Can Walker last all year at LT
2.) Can Chambers play at a high enough level consistently all year at LT
3.) LT by committee ?
4.) Can Bell even win a starting position ?
5.) How about the other developement players ??? any chance.
I just do not like the idea of having to depend on any of those options, and when we traded Peters I assumed the Bills will have their eye on T early as possible.
I think I will be shocked if they pass up on a T at #11. T's will be eaten up in this draft leaving 2nd rd reach candidates at our #28 spot and possibly our 2nd rd pick won't yield many options if a few other teams reach before our pick there.
