Offensive Tackle

The other position lacking depth on the offensive side of the ball is offensive tackle. The team currently has Dion Dawkins on the left side, Cody Ford on the right and backup swing tackle Ty Nsekhe who can play either if the need arises.

The questions the Bills will need to answer is if Ford is best suited to be the starting right tackle or if he could be better as a guard. The other is if they are confident in Nsekhe’s ability to stay healthy or step in to the starting role if the need arises.

This is a position that the Bills don’t necessarily need to spend big but could find quality options who have starting experience that can be affordable. There are players like former Carolina Panther Daryl Williams, former Philadelphia Eagle Jason Peters, or even LaAdrian Waddle who was with the Bills last year but spend the season on injured reserve.
