Given his injury, you may get you’re wish. ACL tears aren’t the catastrophe they used to be, although serious. It feels like as 8 years ago this was a career killer, and now these guys are able to make it back in a year. Given his talent and past performance at a good college football team, being a red shirt for a year cheap, and then move on from Shady. His contract will be up and no dead cap in two years. Not a bad idea OP. Especially if we could get him with one of the 4ths. I’m hopeful we use the 3rds, 2nd, and 1st on the glaring needs on offense. Not that Lively is on this caliber, but Elliott, Chub, and Barkley have proven a game changing RB is still and always has been important. They can only be game changers though with a very good line and at least top 15 passing game with a great defense. I know I have my rose colored glasses on, but am hopeful this will be the case. Have a good weekend everyone.

Saxum Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Could he stated he is not going to play football this year, go to grad school and prepare when at college and re-enter draft showing same skills he had preinjury?
4BillsintheBurgh Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I'd rather take a chance on OL/lb/cb/wr depth in the fourth and fifth rounds. After that sure, but I'd rather just replace Murphy with someone who's a weapon catching the ball out of the backfield and can block.
YoloinOhio Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 I’m starting to think he’s the one they will pick - late. Just a hunch. But they have the time to let him heal given the current RB core.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Ideally, only in the 5th round or later, too much wear and tear already. He'll probably go in the 3rd or 4th though.

This guy was so awesome and now he’s getting penalized because he cared about his education. I would love a guy like this in the 3rd or later. Perfect compliment to our old man stable. he will never be a workhouse back but he could be a very valuable playmaker a la Kamara. 1

I, personally (for whatever that's worth), am not penalizing him for caring about his education. My opinion is based purely on performance and health. The ankle and foot injuries have been an issue almost his entire career at Stanford, and he put up over 2000 yards on an injured ankle, that is wear and tear. And then in the last game of the season he tears his ACL. I just foresee lingering lower-body issues that will plague his career. I like the kid, but every time I've tuned in to watch him over the past 2 years, he's injured, or hobbling. Edited April 2, 2019 by DrDawkinstein
badassgixxer05 Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 RB's sure do take a beating, but I feel Bryce only took on a heavy load in the 2017 season(one that he looked like the best RB in the league by far). If he can get that knee rehabbed and healthy I think he will be fine. Sitting behind Shady and Gore is the best situation possible for any RB that we draft. This guy was once thought of as the most dangerous back in the country. If he is there in the middle rounds its a no brainer... 2
aristocrat Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 if he has near the 4.3 speed when he comes back sign me up

I actually have never wanted to draft him. He’s referring to Shady ... My Mocks seem to be putting him in a Bills uniform in the 6-7th rounds

YoloinOhio Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Beane was with the panthers when they took mccaffrey 7th overall. Not to say they would take Love high in the draft, or that he’s mccaffrey, but he may like the Stanford RB model. Minor connection.

He might have been the first back taken last year. If you really care about money, you should never go back to school when you have a chance to leave.

A late round pick is happening BECAUSE of the talent. Years Past he would he a rd round gamble. In the era of a devalued position that gamble happens 5 and below You think anyone is going to gamble a high pick on a RB that tore his ACL in Dec? to End a Season that was INJ after INF. How are those Ankles? Edited April 2, 2019 by MAJBobby

And I meant 3rd round or later. ACLs aren’t nearly as bad anymore.
