A limited RB is about as valuable as a one legged punter. Evidently they do not agree with your assessment. You and 100dollars should start a scouting service and see how many subscribers you got. Lots of people with more reputation and media history thought Singletary was in top remaining RBs so it is not by "all accounts". 1
BobbyC81 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Interesting that Vanderbilt QB Kyle Shurmur signed with the Chiefs instead of with his dad with the Giants.

My 100 dollar part time scouting service said Nate Peterman needed a pitching mound long before he was drafted by the Bills. The million dollar decision makers took two years to get that one fixed. I Dun Kno Nuffin.
PirateHookerMD Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 David Sills and Tyree Jackson make the class so far.

A lot of people here questioned Peterman long before he threw 5 picks, and even more afterwards. 11 minutes ago, ColeB said: Interesting that Vanderbilt QB Kyle Shurmur signed with the Chiefs instead of with his dad with the Giants. Well, he virtually has to go elsewhere, doesn't he? If he's playing for his dad, whatever he gets the assumption will be that he got it by nepotism not talent. 1

Plus it'll be awkward when his dad gets fired as they wait for Daniel Jones to develop in 3 years. 1 1

Right but that’s the kind of answer one gets when they go to the land of make believe where GMs do everything better because they cash bigger checks. The draft was fine. The Singletary pick was flawed. The same folks had the same responses when posters like myself bagged on Ragland on draft day. It’s the off-season, everyone is excited, I get it. We all want the Bills to be good. That doesn’t mean everything has to be sunshine and rainbows.

LabattBlue Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Maybe I’ve been staring at my phone to long today, but I looked at a couple of prospect rankings and didn’t see Easley listed. Anyone find him ranked in a list somewhere?
ChasBB Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 6’ 7” and 249 pounds 40-yard dash: 4.59 Hand Size: 10 1/4” Maybe Buffalo found its "Gronk" in Tyree Jackson - would love to see him switch to TE and see what he can do there.

What’s with this? Nothing against you, but I’m tired of ppl seeing measurables and hoping for the next Antonio Gates. Am I the only person that got tired of the Logan Thomas experiment even before it began? Now, who wants to watch another 3 years of that.

But, the guy has such impressive speed and size and Buffalo really needs a TE with these kinds of measurables. If his hands aren't made of stone and if he can block and run routes, a guy with his measurables could be a perennial pro-bowler at TE - yes, way too early to speculate on that. I just would like to see what he can do there - seems worth a look, to me, at least. If Buffalo wants to develop him at QB, great - no problem with that.
