Hopefully, the comparison is limited to his on field characteristics. I do like the idea of having a big back who can run away from DBs. Saquon Barkley is another big back who does that, but Buffalo is not going to get a sniff of him. Edited April 12, 2018 by TigerJ
Red Squirrel Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I saw almost every game this guy played for ASU and he was a bit of a disappointment. I think ability-wise, there are few who can match him. Size and speed are exceptional. He just didn't seem to have good running back instincts. And sometimes it seemed like he was easier to get to the ground than you would think from looking at him. Ballage's big highlight, by a mile, was a game against Texas Tech two years ago when he scored 8 TDs in a game ASU won despite giving up about 6 million yards to Mahomes. I think 6 of the TDs came from the wildcat (which you aren't allowed to call it at ASU for obvious reasons). He is definitely someone worth taking a chance on; just a question of when. I'd say 4th round at best. Might figure it out; might also be better off trying to be a WR or maybe a move to defense...safety or OLB. 2

Saying that he might have been the best player at the senior bowl. I think he would be the perfect fit behind Shady. Athletically he is very similar to Adrian Peterson. I think if you just have him make one cut and go he will be a better NFL player than college player.

I think if you just have him make one cut and go he will be a better NFL player than college player. This is absolutely plausible; it should also be noted that his stats were a bit diminished because he was splitting carries with a kid named Demario Richard who was his opposite; if anyone digs up a highlight reel of Richard's from youtube, you won't see him blowing the doors off like Ballage's video above; you'll see him just mashing people between the tackles and dragging guys 4 or 5 yards. But he's smaller and considerably slower than Ballage and obviously less of a pro prospect. 1

He's an interesting prospect...real good size/speed...Kind of an angular, plant and go type...If he see's it he hits it fast and will lower a boom on any unsuspecting DB... He's not one of my favs from this real deep class...But if we're talking about the 4th-5th round area I think he's got decent value there...
Pete Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Bills are going to draft RB IMO. They are really scouting them. It is a deep class. They are looking at CBs too. Could Hughes and/or Shady be included in trade talks?
Mark Vader Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 A nice option for a Day 3 pick. I'm still hoping for Rashaad Penny.
End The Drought Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I saw a player comparison for him and David Johnson. That would be a steal

Could Hughes and/or Shady be included in trade talks? The draft is about bringing in young talent - some can contribute immediately but its mostly the future. I would not assume anyone is being traded based on draft visits or draft picks. For example neither RB they’ve had visit is considered an immediate RB1. The edge guy isn’t going to be able to come in an replace Hughes.
WideRightRevenge Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I saw all I needed to see in the Sr. Bowl game .... got get him 1
Bakin Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Baller. I like him a lot. A bit rough around the edges. Cant coach speed. Definite 4th round.
YoloinOhio Posted April 12, 2018 Author Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) He’s a perfect guy to develop behind Shady. Also a different runner who could challenge defenses prepared to defend Shady’s more elusive style, then he comes in and runs you over. Edited April 12, 2018 by YoloinOhio
BigBuff423 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Ballage would be a great fit for the Bills. I like him and Chubb behind the 1st and high 2nd round RBs the most. They both have a nice combination of power and speed.
