Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2568891, member: 1674"] I don't think Star is a good player personally, certainly nowhere remotely close to Dareus. He might be an upgrade over who we replaced Dareus with but we'll see. Hopefully McBeane makes me look foolish but I personally wouldn't have offered Star half the money he got. I like the Murphy pickup a lot though; he was really impressive with the Redskins and should be a significant upgrade over Shaq. Shady is obviously great. Benjamin...we'll see; hopefully he gets healthy but he's a good #2 WR and a borderline #1 IMO. I don't think Clay is anything special; I wouldn't mind drafting a new TE. O'Leary is a solid 2nd TE; I expect Clay to be a cap casualty after this upcoming season. If Zay can earn a starting spot, that's fine, but I'm not comfortable going into the season with him being slated as more than the #4 WR; he was a disaster as a rookie. I expect the QB position to be worse this season (hopefully only in the short-term while a rookie develops/takes his lumps), but I think Tyrod's ability to avoid turnovers and create plays out of nothing was among the top 3 biggest reasons that the team made the playoffs (with the defense forcing turnovers being #1). I think the O-Line is arguably the worst in the NFL (for the moment, certainly McBeane knows it needs to be upgraded in the draft/post-draft free agency). I like Milano a lot but that position is hilariously weak right now both in terms of starting caliber players and depth. Edit: The only way I realistically see Buffalo having a chance at the playoffs is if they do NOT trade up for a QB, or at least don't trade 3-5 picks for a QB. IMO, they need to see how the draft shapes out and either stay at 12 or make a small move up to like 7-10 range to get their QB in order to have a shot this year. There's simply too many holes on this team to sacrifice a lot of picks for a QB and still be competitive this season. I think they'll pick somewhere in the 8-13 range when it's all said and done next year. [/QUOTE]
