billspro Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I would love to have a young RB learn from McCoy and Gore. A person could not ask for a better place to start their career. 1
wppete Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I think this is a great opportunity to draft a RB in the mid round and let him learn from 2 Hall of Famers. 2
c-troop Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 3 minutes ago, H2o said: I doubt Baltimore moves him. Edwards is young and had a solid season last year. Ingram is pushing 30 and is likely just there to split carries. Baltimore is going to run the ball 40 times a game. totally but if they'd do it for a 4th and a 5th I wouldn't hesitate, Edwards is averaging 5.2 YPC and he's that guy you wish you had when it comes to goal line situations 1
KauaiBuffaloSports Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 It's definitely the perfect time for the Bills to pick a mid round rb prospect in the draft. I got my fingers crossed for Benny Snell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuoUf5hzffk He carried the University of Kentucky team for the last couple of years. I'm surprised his draft stock isn't higher 1

I'm surprised his draft stock isn't higher I think his stock isn’t higher because from what I heard during his games is that he is viewed as a one dimensional back, but also wasn’t asked to do anything else while at Kentucky. 1

And he doesn’t have a lot of wear and tear on him either. Also, he was a 4 year guy which the McDermott values. I’d be very happy with him in a Bills uni. 1

I like him, but would rather draft a guy at round 3-5.
dabills21 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Sounds cliche. but if you've watched a few of his games, he reminds me a lot of Fred Jackson. Patient runner, good hands, solid blocking, and breaks alot of tackles. he won't win many do it races or break many home run plays, but just really solid all around a player. One of my favorite RBs in this clasd 1

He only ran a 4.57 at the combine, but the game tape shows he is surely faster than that.
RocCityRoller Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) a bit of perspective on D Williams (ranked 17 among RB) Dexter Williams, RB, Notre Dame Height: 5-11. Weight: 215. Arm: 32.63. Hand: 9.5. Projected 40 Time: 4.57. Projected Round (2019): 3-5. 3/7/19: Williams did not get to shoulder the load for the Fighting Irish until his senior year, but he made the most of it by averaging 6.3 yards per carry for 995 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had 16 receptions for 133 yards and a touchdown as well. As a backup during his junior year, Williams averaged 9.2 yards per carry on only 39 attempts for 360 yards and four scores. Williams had a respectable week of practice at the Senior Bowl and had a similar showing at the combine. And now points for D Montgomery (8th on Walter Football) David Montgomery*, RB, Iowa State Height: 5-11. Weight: 219. Projected 40 Time: 4.62. Projected Round (2019): 3-5. 3/7/19: There are some evaluators who like Montgomery. His draft stock was dealt a draft blow at the combine, where his 40 time gave credence to speed concerns. Montgomery averaged 4.7 yards per carry in 2018 for 1,216 yards with 13 touchdowns. He had 22 receptions for 157 yards as well. 8/28/18: Montgomery is a nice college back who runs hard and fights through contact to pick up extra yards. He may not have the speed to be an impact-making starter in the NFL, but he could be a solid rotational option. Montgomery is impressive in the passing game with his soft hands and understanding of how to get open. In the open field, he is tough for defensive backs to get on the ground. Montgomery averaged 4.7 yards per carry in 2017 for 1,094 yards with 11 touchdowns. He also caught 35 passes for 288 yards. either would be a good set of young legs in round 3-5 IMO Edited March 14, 2019 by RocCityRoller 2

Yeah I was just reading that Collins crashed a car with 5oz's of marijuana and a handgun... I can't see Ivory, Murphy or Ford being on the roster when training camp starts and if we draft one guy at 3-5 we still only have 3 backs locked in for 2019 Gore and McCoy are FA's in 2020...i wouldn't be mad if they sign a young promising back and draft a future guy to learn from the Vets 1 minute ago, Teddy KGB said: They released Collins after a run in with the law and terrible case of the fumbles iirc. guys thats GUS EDWARDS and I was asking what it would take to pry him away from Baltimore, but seeing as they don't have Collins anymore i highly doubt that is possible at all Edited March 14, 2019 by c-troop
RocCityRoller Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 I see McCoy having 'an in as starter' Gore vs Ivory for backup in preseason, neither is a major cap hit, but offer vet upside. Then add a 3-5 round pick. Buffalo selecting a RB 3-5 is warranted. What Round 3-5 RB excites you? We have D Montgomery and D Williams as potential fits.
FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Devine Ozigbo-RB Nebraska 5’11 232. Can get him in the 4th. Be a nice understudy to Gore and McCoy.
Pete Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I have done a bunch of Fanspeak mock drafts-and there is always a bunch of great WR, TE, and RB in rounds 4 and 5. Those seem to me to be the 3 deepest positions

Estro Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Give me Darrell Henderson in the 3rd. I love him. He has the homerun ability that I want in a young RB prospect. 1
