I believe that our off-season priority should be the defensive line. Our OL has talent, now has one of the best to coach them but only needs an infusion of help on the interior OL. We have a talented backfield. It's clear that Bledsoe will return and a "QB of the future" needs to found. Apparantly TE is in decent enough shape not to necessitate much more than late rd consideration. I have concerns about the secondary if/when Winfield leaves but McGee/K. Thomas have played well at times. Special teams are in good hands and the receiving corp is a healthy E-Mo and speed WR away. LB depth needs addressing but the most pressing need is defensive line. Not just a pass-rusher but the entire DL concerns me....why? Well, free agency could tear the DL apart after 2004.
Schobel: UFA after 2004
P. Williams: UFA after 2004
Adams: signed thru 2006 but how many more years can the knees hold up
Denney: signed thru 2005. At this point has not proven to be starting material.
Edwards: RFA this season and likely to receive a minimum tender. If he signs it, he will be UFA after 2004
Bannan: UFA after 2005
Kelsay: signed thru 2006. Rec'd minimum playing time in 2003.
McKenzie: UFA
Sape: signed thru 2006. Undersized DT that should be no more than the 4th DT right now.
I foresee the Bills doing a few things this off-season:
1) Signing Pat Williams OR Aaron Schobel to a contract extension
2) Signing a veteran DL FA
3) Using multiple draft choices on DL including a day one choice.
