Dawkins is a Pro-Bowler the past two seasons and a top-100 player as voted by both the players and PFF.

From lurking on your message board. And from watching Dawkins. He's fine. But not a difference maker.

When I've watched him in presesason. Multiple reps where he was overpowered.

Sherfield, Harty, and Isabella are journeyman roster fringe guys, and you know it. Shorter was what, a fifth round pick? Yeah, major upgrade there!

Congrats on that 13-3 season. What did that get you, other than something to make you happy when you reference it? I remember when I used to talk about the Chiefs going 13-3 in 1995 and 2003.
Floyd has been a nice player but also has always been a 2-point stance rush backer. Most of the guys on your DL are just guys. Maybe Rousseau takes a step and Miller comes back just as good as he was before his injury. Maybe. But Floyd is not a needle mover, and neither are Oliver or Epenesa or Bashem.

But even so, that secondary went 13-3.

Both your star S are 32 years old and coming off seasons where they lost major time to injuries. At DB, the clock runs out fast. Major warning signs on them.

Like I said, you got better at LG. Maybe at RG. Minor improvements on the OL. The defense is aging rapidly and lost a key player in the middle in Edmunds.
I think you'd find few who agree the Bills improved their roster in any major way, other than Bills fans.
