Makes sense. You aren't out running NFL defenses for a living. May pop a big play every now and then with super speed, especially if you are already in a top offense (like KC last year), but the majority of these guys are pounding away and missed tackles moves the chains.

If a 500 page playbook from almost 30 years ago isn't a TLDR then IDK what is.

Do or die season for Zay. We will see. Hope he arrives at long last. Hope conditions at least give him a chance.

Waited to see what Shady tweeted until I saw the movie and wow ... great tweet Shady. What a moron.

Good pick, he'll make the team and play.

With the Oline situation we probably will play well in the second half of the first 2 games. Experienced guys blocking nobodies and our fancy new RB feasting.

I guess in the end what we're all trying to say is this guy is short.

Maurice Jones-Drew better comparison than these two IMO

Yup. Want to like the pick b/c he has some great qualities but he's too early and we have a ton of RBs. Bad pick bottom line. Team management at RB has been a disaster under Bean's first few years, worst position by far.

Not a 3rd down back look to me at all. Looks like a little bowling bowl with strong base that is quick w/ jump cuts and getting down field. If I'm optimistic him and TJ (who will do our 3rd down bits) are decent combo year after next for us.

I think we were good at RB until Shady spoiled Bean on Endgame. Now he's done.

RB with no explosion?

Huge run on WRs recently, hard to imagine us taking one at this point.

There he goes

At this point it is getting weird. GMs REALLY don't like this guy.

Now I want him and would move to get him.

IDK much about him but he's an OT and he's big and nasty.

Universal praise. We got lucky he dropped. He fills a big need. He's going way lower than he probably should. It's backed by performance over several years and not just combine or physical measurements. It seems to be a personality fit. It's fantastic.

Stevie was the best WR we had since Moulds.

ESPN article published today clarifies that AB would have happily come to Buffalo if he got a redo on contract like what Oakland gave ... so it fell through due to Bean not being willing to tear up the existing contract.

Incoming Pats trade for a 3rd and contingent 4th they won't ever get.

LOL. It was never entirely clear what the coaches were letting him do vs. what he just did ... but yes the single best thing about him (other than his running success) is that he let it rip--for better or worse.

I just want to obnoxiously remind people that most of the board did not like the pick and I was telling everyone he would be good. Conversely, most of the board was fine and supported EJ from the start while I sounded the alarm the moment we drafted him knowing it was a disaster. Moral of the story, listen to me on QBs you jokers.

Why doesn't this board have a thumbs down button?

I say draft DK at 9 and stick and him on the outside, with Smokey Brown on the other side, and Beasley in the slot and we have a pretty damn good WR group. We don't need to ask DK to run a million crazy routes. Foster backs them up giving us solid depth at speed for outside WR. Zay can adjust to slot where he will be better and work in with Beasley. Keep another 2 (instead of the usual 1) for competition and cut one of our trademark special teams spots to make up for it. Do that and I think our receiving talent is great. Grab a tackle next and a young RB late and we're good on offense. Fill in on defense where you can but plan to circle back on that next year. DK gives us the size and burner speed we need on the outside to blow the top off and give our other guys space. He'll never play like a Megatron for us but that doesn't mean he isn't worth the 9. Josh will throw him bombs high teams will have to tilt the field his way and he'll run good comebacks and deep outs. Smokey is super dangerous on the other side as well ... our new TE and slot guys should feast. Should open up the run game if we can win at the point of attack to give Shady the second level.
