I’m very skeptical of gore and think shady is a roll of the dice but a good risk reward for a team with no cap pressure.

 

what about this situation leads you to believe they are highly confident in both of them?

 

I think people are over estimating how much soon-to-be 36 year old Frank Gore is going to contribute.

Why a rb and why this guy? Not a good pick. 

care to elaborate. I don't know much about him, why not him?

Well I see people saying he’s slow, and some are also saying he scored 32 TDs last season. If there’s a correlation, lol who cares?

 

I would have been okay with the pick in the late 4th early 5th. I just don’t like the value in the third.

So does The Athletic:

 

GRADE: 3rd Round (#78 overall)

 

STRENGTHS: Terrific lateral agility that gives defenders nightmares…sets up moves with widescreen vision and slippery athleticism (led the FBS with 113 broken tackles in 2018, 25 more than any other player)…outstanding instincts to sense developing lanes and dart between open spaces…patient ball carrier and won’t force things…natural balance with the core strength to keep his feet…not overpowering, but runs low and doesn’t gear down at contact, finishing strong…impressive 191.3 fumble rate (four career fumbles)…nice job on angle routes and catches passes thrown at him…nose for the end zone, ranking sixth all time in FBS history with 66 rushing touchdowns (five players ahead of him all played four years)…above-average production with three straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons, setting the school records for career rushing yards and all-purpose yards.

 

WEAKNESSES: Lacks an ideal build for the position with limited growth potential…average power as an inside runner…tends to fatigue over four quarters and workload will be a question mark with his size…lacks ideal long-speed for the position…wasn’t asked to stay home and pass protect in college…receiving production declined over his career.

 

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Florida Atlantic, Singletary produced from the moment he stepped foot onto campus in Boca Raton, rewriting the Owls rushing records. His 54 rushing touchdowns the last two seasons was easily the best in college football over that span. Singletary runs with remarkable balance to elude in tight quarters, leading the FBS with 69.8 percent of his rushing yards in 2018 coming after initial contact. He is tougher than he looks, but his lack of body armor and questions about being a three-down player will be the main concerns for his next-level transition. Overall, Singletary is uniquely skilled at forcing missed tackles due to his lateral agility and ability to feel openings, projecting as a LeSean McCoy type of offensive weapon in the NFL.

McCoy has ZERO trade value and is on the last year of his contract.

 

I bet DiMarco is getting canned, as the Bills will carry 4 RB's and will draft a TE at some point and carry 4 TE's as well.

Against who? Players that aren't even getting drafted? 

His supporting cast was their same level.  Watch his play and you'll see vision, patience, broken tackles and fighting for yards.  Leading the nation in TDs and broken tackles has to count for something.

At the combine he was the running back who was the shortest, with smallest arms, smallest wingspan and smallest hands. And he ran a 4.66. And caught 6 total passes last year and has a lot of mileage on him from college.

 

He did score a boatload of TDs and he is shifty. I'm worried about his ability to transfer to the NFL. I would have gone elsewhere but oh well, Welcome to buffalo!

 

Sign me up? ?

LOVE THIS PICK!!!

 

Beane is murdering this draft as if he played TE  for the Pats.  

 

A+++ so far on these first 3 picks

Some of you guys must work for Bills PR dept,  every pick you love.  This draft will end up getting both Sean and Beane fired,  this RB ran about a 4.7,  ok to be small if you are the fastest guy on the field.  He will never be that in the NFL

@Joe in Winslow it's a start bud. We desperately needed a rushing attack. This guy better be damned good in both rushing and catching out of the backfield.

 

Not sure about this one. But if he's got that pass catching skillset these kind of RBs do wonders to our passing attack.

 

Don't know anything about him. Can he catch?

This being a bad pick and Beane knowing what he's doing are not mutually exclusive. He should not have gone after Yeldon last week if his plan was to go RB round 3. Winovich was sitting right there and edge is arguably a bigger need than RB with Hughes and Lawson in walk years, though we do need playmakers. 

 

As for the player, I do like him. Just thought it was a reach and that you can get contributors in later rounds with one of our multiple 5ths.

I like a lot of this 

 

 

 

Interesting.  He's got great balance, patience, and vision.  And he's a fast little mother.

 

But he looks small, and in most of those highlights he's getting great blocking.  There's little there to show off any power or strength he may or may not have.  Based solely on those...he looks like a third-down back.  He could be successful in the NFL, behind a line that blows defenses off the line - which makes the Ford pick interesting, as well.

 

Based on his build, though...doesn't look like an RB that's going to have a very long career.
