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!
He would be a great pick-up, but I don't think he will slide down that far to us.

C from LSU. I still think Trey is the REAL problem on this O-line.
I think Wilkerson could be a keystone Center in the NFL. I think we can get him in round 2 as his stock fell a bit this season.
You may be right about Teague - and perhaps he would be better at tackle - but the coaching staff seems to really like him at center.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
One fear I have is that we may see them get a center and move Teague to LT or RT as they are paying him that type of money. I am not sure he would be the man out there either.
Ben Wilkerson is my all-time favorite Tiger. He's the most fierly O-lineman i've seen at LSU since Mawae. His stock slipped a little because he ended his senior season with a knee injury(Sounds like a perfect fit in Buffalo). He's a dominant as they come, and is quick enough to snap and pull outside. We will see how things look as we get closer to April, but he just might slide down to our 2nd round pick.
Knee Injury....sounds like a perfect fit for the Buffalo Bills. If we do get this guy we will have to find a new nickname for this offense: wilkerson, evans, and willis...."the kneecap offense"

Another wide receiver. Our failures on offense, or more specifically Drew Bledsoe's failures on offense, can only be attributed to the lack of quality wide-outs.
2nd - OL, our biggest problem this season should be addressed first, or else a WR if someone like Mike Williams happens to be still available.
3rd - OL
4th - K or OL depending on what we do in the 2nd round
5th - QB, someone to help push JP along, maybe give him some competition, could be JPs backup for years to come. Also an insurance threat incase JP sucks.
I think we have alot of choices on who we draft this coming year. Naturally, it will also depend on what free agents we acquire, but I see it going as something like this:
1st none (assuming we don't create a package with Henry which Donahue just might do if he wants a specific person)
2nd - OL or best available
3rd - OL, K or best available
4th - DB, FS or best available
5th - best available
6th - best available
7th - best available
We have depth at alot of positions. For defense, S...with Vincent shifting over, we should be fine there although we could draft for backup/depth. CB, we should probably draft someone tall. Our CBs always seem to be short and at a disadvantage. If we lose Pat Williams, we may need to draft a DT unless we get a good free agent. That's it for Defense. Kelsay stepped up this past year, and Denney is a good backup, so I think we are fine for DE.
For offense, we have enough running backs, I feel we have enough WR also - Aiken appears to be coming on his own finally. Reed appears like he'll have to settle for backup. We could draft another if they are a good pick for the spot. OL is our strongest need though. TEs should be fine assuming we get back Campbell and Euhus. Peters is also a good candidate to use as OL/TE and confuse defenses with him. He seemed to get better as the season went this past year. I predict him becoming a good quality player.
So, for the most part, besides the OL, we are okay and can take best available. This is the ideal situation we want. So that we can concentrate on getting playmakers vs filling gaping holes.
Maybe I"m being overly optimistic, but I think next year should be a great year for us!
