Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 How is Ivory's pass catching and blocking, I forget ?

I think they will draft a RB, but this gives them some insurance and allows them to take a flier in the later rounds instead of using a higher pick on a more sure thing.
boyst Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I remember ivory, Bilal Powell and the other RB that they had at the time, that was scary. Was it the Arizona RB? Thomas?
billieve420 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Don't mind the signing would have preferred to wait until after the draft though to pick up a veteran. Yes I know there would be no guarantee he would still be available but to me it wouldn't have been a priority right now.

BillsFan4 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Well, Shady should be happy. He specifically said (I believe it was at the end of the season) that that he wanted/needed a better #2 RB to help carry the load. Now he has one! I think he will be a very good compliment to Shady's running style too.

I respectfully disagree. As I and others have mentioned before the only time you need to get a RB is when you need to get a RB. You don't need to groom them and although I don't believe they are a dime a dozen half way decent ones are easy to get. If Shady and Ivory fall off this year, get one next year. We just don't need one to be "right there" just in case. Edited March 6, 2018 by dollars 2 donuts 1

Eliminates or severely decreases the need for an early round pick being spent on a RB, now we can draft another positional need 3. our FO is demonstrating very good presentation. 2 visits, and 2 signings!! 4. we can get rid of Tolbert!! Very good points!

Once he's in the stable, you want him running...the clock to 30 years old stops for no one. And before anyone says, Beane outright stated Shady is a big piece of the team for next year consider this: we're all about smokescreens for Draft time, EXCEPT when the GM says things we want to hear and two, given how Shady was traded just 3 years ago, I think the team remembers and wants to do it the right way IF they're going to do it. Meaning, I think they want to be able to talk to Shady first and let him know what's coming and no better way than to come right out and say he's a big part of their future plans. Then they can change directions if the trade happens and just say, "It was an offer we couldn't refuse".... If a young talented RB like Kamara drops to you I think you take him. I want the Bills offense to be filled with talented players.

Yes I know there would be no guarantee he would still be available but to me it wouldn't have been a priority right now. Ivory doesn't count in the compensatory pick formula, which is just icing on the cake for the signing. Most other RB's that they'd sign after free agency starts probably would have. I think before the draft is the way to go. This way they can draft a guy in the 3rd if the value is right or they can wait until the 5th or 6th. Edited March 6, 2018 by elroy16
