Ludwig-USA TODAY SportsThe Buffalo Bills have overhauled their offensive line over the last few months, adding talent along the interior and exterior. Some of their newest additions are also versatile enough to play multiple positions, while others are potentially talented enough to force some of Buffalo’s returning linemen to other spots along the trenches.In our latest installment of “90 players in 90 days,” we profile one of Buffalo’s holdovers along the offensive line, a player plucked off the waiver wire who finds himself looking like an outsider in a new positional group.Name: Conor McDermottNumber: 68Position: OTHeight/Weight: 6’8” 305 lbs. Age: 26 (27 on 10/19/19)Experience/Draft: 3; drafted in the sixth round (211 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft by the New England PatriotsCollege: UCLAAcquired: Claimed off waivers on 9/3/17Financial situation (per Spotrac): McDermott enters the third year of his four-year rookie contract signed with New England in 2017. That contract is worth a total of $2,535,018. All of his guarantees were paid out already, so if Buffalo were to cut him, there would be zero dead cap charge as a result. If McDermott makes the squad this year, his cap hit will be $645,000.2018 Recap: McDermott played a grand total of 45 snaps last season over five games on the active roster. His snap split was nearly dead-even, as he played 22 snaps on offense and 23 snaps on special teams. The vast majority of those snaps came in Buffalo’s blowout victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. In that contest, McDermott played 18 snaps on offense and ten snaps on special teams.Positional outlook: While McDermott was on the 53-man roster last season Womens Dawson Knox Jersey , he was a healthy scratch for the majority of the year. Since the 2018 season ended, Buffalo has re-signed tackle Jeremiah Sirles, added tackles LaAdrian Waddle and Ty Nsehke via free agency, and drafted tackle Cody Ford. They also signed undrafted free agents Blake Hance (released on 5/22) and Garrett McGhin. Incumbent starting left tackle Dion Dawkins, a former second-round draft choice, also returns. 2019 Offseason: Offseason activities (OTAs) began on May 20, and Chris Brown noted the starting offensive line and the second-string offensive line. McDermott was not a part of either grouping.2019 Season outlook: For McDermott, the outlook is grim. Unless someone ahead of him is injured or plays very poorly, and he remains healthy and plays very well, he will most likely be looking elsewhere for work this season. With the resources that general manager Brandon Beane poured into the offensive line this spring, it’s hard to imagine McDermott showing well enough to remain with the team. The Buffalo Bills addressed their weaknesses and added valuable depth in the Draft."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNFL DraftOpinionPodcastsBillieve Podcast: Recapping a successful 2019 NFL DraftNew,8commentsThe Buffalo Bills addressed their weaknesses and added valuable depth in the Draft.EDTShareTweetShareShareBillieve Podcast: Recapping a successful 2019 NFL DraftOn the latest episode of Billieve: A Buffalo Bills Fan Podcast, host John Boccacino does a deep dive into the newest members of the Buffalo Bills, recapping Buffalo’s 2019 NFL Draft class.For the record, I don’t believe in issuing grades to a draft class this soon. It takes at least two or three years until we know for sure how well a player is panning out Jaquan Johnson Jersey Draft , so for the sake of this article and this podcast, we focused on the players Buffalo selected and how they can/will fill the team’s needs in 2019 and beyond. The Bills entered the draft with ten selections, but after a successful and active free agency, odds were good the Bills were going to package some of their picks to add more quality players to the roster. We already covered the home run that was No. 9 overall selection Ed Oliver in a previous podcast, so this week’s podcast focused on the seven other members of the class: Oklahoma T Cody Ford (selected No. 38 in the second round), Florida Atlantic RB Devin Singletary (No. 74 in the third round), Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox (No. 96 in the third round), Florida LB Vosean Joseph (No. 147 in the fifth round), Miami DB Jaquan Johnson (No. 181 in the sixth round), North Carolina A&T DE Darryl Johnson (No. 225 in the seventh round), and Boston College TE Tommy Sweeney (No. 228 in the seventh round). Boccacino really likes the additions of Ford and Singletary, thinking Ford was a first-round talent that Buffalo was able to get in the second round. Ford is a mauler—a complete tackle who should be able to excel in both run blocking and pass protection. This pick makes Buffalo’s overhauled offensive line even better, with Ford rumored to be slotting in at right tackle. While the selection of Singletary drew some criticisms on social media from Bills fans, the pick makes sense, especially given the age of LeSean McCoy (will be 31 when the season starts) and Frank Gore (36 when the season starts). There is a lot of wear on Singletary’s tires (over 700 carries in college) Jaquan Johnson NFL Jersey , but he is an explosive runner with patience and excellent field vision. He is an instant upgrade to the running back room. Knox has immense potential despite his lack of production at Ole Miss, and should prove to be a solid blocker who gives Josh Allen another downfield receiving threat, while the athletic Joseph has the proverbial high motor, and brings speed, explosiveness, and great ability to change direction to Leslie Frazier’s 4-3 defense. A rangy and athletic linebacker, he reminds many experts of Matt Milano, Buffalo’s fifth-round selection in the 2017 Draft.
