Is LeSean McCoy the piece the Bills needed to end their playoff drought?

Gino Bottero: The Bills' problem these last few years hasn't been the play of their running backs. Rex Ryan can only do so much with a defense that was already one of the better units in football. The bigger issue the Bills have battled with has been the play of their quarterbacks and EJ Manuel or Matt Cassel doesn't look like the answer. Creeping into the playoffs in the tough AFC seems like a long shot.

Dan Wilkins: As exciting as it is for Buffalo to add a running back of McCoy's caliber, this isn't a move that will put them over the top. This team's problem has and will continue to be the quarterback situation and the addition of Matt Cassel does little to address the most important position on the field. McCoy will be a key playmaker for the offense this season and quite possibly for several more to come, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bills' playoff drought continue until they find the quarterback they so desperately need.

Caitlyn Holroyd: McCoy should provide a boost to the Bills' offense, but the team's questionable quarterback situation could once again be their undoing this season. Trading for Cassel was clearly Buffalo's Plan B after failing to land free-agent quarterback Josh McCown, and statistics-wise, he isn't that much of an upgrade from Kyle Orton. Until they solve their quarterback issue, the Bills stand little chance at dethroning the New England Patriots in the AFC East.

Should the Eagles pay the price to move up in the draft to acquire Marcus Mariota?

Wilkins: Yes. Teams rarely get the chance to select a franchise quarterback and for Chip Kelly to get the one who ran his offensive system to perfection in college, it becomes an opportunity they can't pass up. The cost will certainly be high, likely involving multiple first-round picks, but getting a player that you're confident can lead the franchise for years to come is easily worth that cost. If there is a deal to be made on draft day, look for the Eagles to get it done.

Holroyd: Trading up for Mariota won't come cheap, but it's a move that could pay dividends for the Eagles in the long run. Chip Kelly is familiar with Mariota and, by all accounts, is a smart man, so it's unlikely he would make such a high-cost trade if he wasn't confident it would work out. Philadelphia also looks like the best fit for Mariota, which should make for a relatively smooth transition to the NFL for the former Duck. 

Bottero: As much as Chip Kelly wants to get the old band back together, moving up to acquire Marcus Mariota just doesn't seem like a move that would help the club, particularly given the undoubtedly exorbitant cost of such a move. Mariota was a great college quarterback, but there's some question as to whether his skills will transfer to the next level. Given that Nick Foles is still around and just a year removed from posting a 27:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio and Kelly was able to pluck Mark Sanchez off the scrap heap and make him into a usable quarterback, spending on the position feels like a misuse of the team's resources.

What team would make the best fit for free agent Ndamukong Suh?

Holroyd: The Miami Dolphins will likely have to make a few more cuts before they can afford the big contract Suh is reportedly seeking, but they are also located in a state that boasts warm weather and no income tax - both of which could be used as selling points. Miami is also a good schematic fit for Suh. Placing him on a defensive line with Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon could give the Dolphins the edge they need to end their six-year playoff drought.

Bottero: The Indianapolis Colts' struggles against the run have been well documented and Suh is the kind of player that can fix that in an instant. While the Colts don't often make big splashes into the free-agent market, owner Jim Irsay would be wise to loosen the purse strings in this instance, as Suh is still young and has the ability to become the face of a defense in need of an identity.

Wilkins: There will be a number of teams vying for Suh's services on the open market, but the Oakland Raiders would benefit more than any other by signing the perennial All-Pro. The team needs to add talent across the board and a dominant presence on the interior defensive front is a great place to start. Though the bidding process could get out of hand in a hurry and teams much closer to contention are certain to make their case as well, the Raiders have the cap space to outbid nearly any other offer on the table.
