LTs are nice but is anyone really thinking if an EDGE player is available we aren’t going that route?  These dudes are the second most important position.  We probably reach if one is there too.  If we don’t pick an EDGE then no one decent is available.  Agree?  These EDGE players are getting huge deals.  Says something IMO.

Yep. I believe if sweat and or my boy clelin is there for us, we will pick one of those guys. I hope we go LT but my gut tells me that's where we will go.

I don’t disagree... the pass rushers are getting QB back money... no way we can afford a Lawrence type contract...have to draft one

I haven't gotten the obsession with a tackle at 16.  We did a great job shoring up the OL in FA, so now we should focus on the edge rush early in the draft.  Of course, BPA with needs still in mind, but an edge rusher to develop is still what we need at 16.

If Sweat/Clelin are not available who else is worth a shot at 16? We could very well go BPA. We wont reach for a need especially if that player is not a 1st round talent. We could find a DE in the 2nd round.

Second most important position? I would say that about LT. It is incredibly more challenging to find a top tier left tackle that will be your tackle for years to come than it is to find an edge rusher. Since Jordan Gross retired we have yet to find his replacement. In that same amount of time we have had plenty of good edge rushers.  

I would take either, but I don't understand why so many of you are dismissive about LT and shouting edge rusher like crazy. I know it's a more flashy position but it's not more important than having a long term LT protecting your franchise QB. We released Kalil, William's can't play it and is coming off injury, and Moton has never played it. I don't get why you all are so sure that we are set there. Fixing the Oline was clearly our front office's #1 priority this offseason and I don't think they are done. They have yet to address LT in my opinion.

There is only one spot in our line I that has any certainty and that's at RG with Trai Turner. Every other spot could go in shambles once the season starts.

Moton a college LG and RT. Played well at RT. People are crowning him at LT from one start against a bad early season Cowboys. 

Paradis despite his accolades was bought for cheap because of injuries

Ditto to Williams whose injuries affected his contract negotiations with teams

Van Roten is just serviceable.

 

Offensive Line is still just as much a priority as Defensive Line.

IDK what the pick will be but i think we can take OT first and still get help at DE...after the fiasco last yr and getting everyone hurt my main concern is pass protection and overall QB protection...I don't see Sweat or any of the glam picks their at 16...

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By trucpfan · Posted

      Arm is weak? Another useless complaint who gives a flying f… if he makes all the throws accurately idgaf about arm strength. Let’s dive deeper into your complaint no zip on the ball show me a play where his lack of zip cost us anything. Show me a play where his weak arm cost us a completion or because he doesn’t have a Josh Allen cannon he didn’t make the play he needed to make. His 40 yarder down the field to XL two weeks ago was a got d…. dime his throw to AT in the end zone was a dime, his throw to XL 3 weeks ago that the man pulled out his hand was a dime about 30+ yards. What about the one handed grab to AT was a rocket arm needed? You’re logic is so self absorbed your judging the man off what you want him to have and that’s just outright goofy, not judging him off performance not off the talent he’s going against not even the situation he’s facing ex..(4th quarter down by 4 needed a TD) in which he’s outperformed all expectations vs KC vs Giants vs Tampa nobody Gives a f…. about him not having a rocket he’s noodle arm in the last 4-5 weeks has him rated as top 3 QB I think that’s way more Important then satisfying fans need for our QB to possess a cannon these complaints are getting too notch outlandish and quite embarrassing go be a dam Bills fan so your QB can have the strongest arm in the league yet he’s won nothing significant since he’s been in the dam league besides your heart he’s won your heart by having a rocket arm we gotta see what’s his consolation prize for winning arm of the year award. This is just dumb they benched him to help him because he has all the tools but wasn’t playing up to par benched him he  focused on his technique and came back and started doing what was expected what crow would they even be eating this is ignorant.

      Cleaning up Fitterer's Mess

      By Seltzer · Posted

      https://x.com/avl_mike/status/1863950938467189041 Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way. For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons: 2021: $53.9M 2022: $52.4M 2023: $62.1M 2024: $69.3M 2025: $1.9M All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games... Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise. The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history. Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money: Von Bell: $9.9M Hayden Hurst: $9.8M Donte Jackson: $9.7M Diontae Johnson: $9.4M Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M Justin Houston: $3.8M DJ Chark: $3.1M Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players. That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era. Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss... One can hope... Keep Pounding!!
