All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Now with Butler retiring, I can not see the Bills doing anything other than draft a tackle at 9. I think Meredith could handle the RT spot, but this team is now in DIRE need of a blind-side guy. I was all for a QB, or even McLain at #9, but not anymore.
what a difference a year makes. Peters, Walker, and Butler made T one of the better positions this team had per position. now they have Meredith, Bell, and ..... uh..... can i get some help here?

Butler is the best tackle we had, so yes, panic has set in.
Meredith instantly played better at RT, which made Butler an overpaid backup.
I already knew he couldn't play Guard at all, watching him from my seat in the stands playing the part of a swinging door. There was a reason they drafted Wood & Levitre.
I never understood the attraction. Ever.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
If a Tackle WORTH the #9 pick is there & a QB is not, they will draft a OT. If however the QB is there they draft the QB. They can get a tackle in rounds 2-4. It is STUPID to draft for need ignoring value.
I agree with both setiments here, Butler was a good assest to this team just because he could play 4 of the 5 line positions but was not good enough at any of them to be a starter. I thought Meredith was already better than Butler in what limited time he had last season.
COMING SOON...

there isn't a QB in this draft worth the #9 pick overall. JMO

Wouldn't drafting a QB be a need since we still need a QB? Better value would be to draft a tackle since we still have Edwards, Fitz and Brohm on the roster.......Gailey has been known to get the most out of his QBs!

You may be right, I don't know. I will leave that up to Buddy & the boys to decide. If there is no QB or OT worth #9, I would hope they could trade down a little & get more picks. God knows the Bills could use them.
I don't see were "reality" comes into play. I don't think this forces the Bills hands AT ALL. Butler was average at best and injury prone. I am bummed he pussied out on football but he is far from irreplaceable. I am fine with Merideth at RT or Levitre at RT and Incognito starting. There are many options available.
We can easily grab an LT in round 2 if Mclain or one of the QBs are available at 9.
Before you jump down my throat I wouldn't be pissed if we grabbed an elite LT in the first, just saying it isn't a given IMO...

You want to draft for VALUE at a position of need. QB is definitely a need. The Bills have Edwards, Fitz, & Brohm on the roster. The only one of those three that MAY be worth a damn is Brohm, we already know the other 2 are CRAP.
