We get star back next year and that addition will raise the level of play with the players we already have on defense. It will allow Oliver to eat from star taking up doubles. That opens up a lot for our pass rush. 2

Wanna see what type of condition Tyler Shelvin is in. At 30 if Zaven Collins isn’t there, Daviyon Nixon is another intriguing prospect.

I have the clips to prove it, dozens of them. 1 2

We do need at least one if we're going to contend at the highest levels. Don't think epenesa is that guy either.

He’s an average at best player that people seem to think is some sort of all pro future HOFer. If anything it will allow guys to not play out of position like they had to this year. Star is not a world beater but we definitely missed him this year. Edited February 8, 2021 by billieve420 2

There's a reason he was one of our 1st and most expensive FA acquisition from our front office.

The opt out makes him the off season problem. Hes Beane's biggest mistake by a wide margin.
DJB Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I still think this was the wrong pick and should have been JK Dobbins like I wanted. We wouldn't have a glaring need at RB right now.

I don’t think anyone believes Star is the “answer” but he is a free asset that comes back into the fold without losing, trading, or spending anything. And, he’s better at NT than what they had in 2020. 1

How can Star be a "free asset" when he carries a cap hit of $7.6M (fully guaranteed) and can not be cut without incurring an additional cap hit, totaling $12.3M? Perhaps you mean "an asset we've already committed to so no additional cost"?

BuffaloRebound Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I think Epenesa surprises this year. He was starting to flash at end of year. No real offseason program and the weight thing was a little bizarre but he did what they asked him to do. I could see him being a good rotational guy in 2021. Good enough to drop a higher priced vet and use the money elsewhere. 2

Epenesa to me wasn't great last year and Dobbins would have filled the RB need that we glaringly have. Now we still have a RB need and have to hope Harris is there. Instead we could have had Dobbins, and use our 1st this year to select a quality player to fill a different need. 1
DCOrange Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I think I wanted Uche, Fulton, or Ashtyn Davis at our spot last year. I preferred Moss over Dobbins anyways.
BuffaloRebound Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I think Moss gives us what we need at RB next year. He’s not gonna break any long runs, but he can catch, block, and get you tough yards. Maybe take a chance on a guy like Marlin Mack who’s coming back from an injury. I don’t think drafting Dobbins would’ve moved the needle very much and I still think Epenesa could blossom.

But we missed him because the drop off is significant behind him. For most of the season Harrison Phillips was awful, though he played better the last 3 or 4 games and the other guys were all 3 techs playing out of position.

PSA that in the opinion of some who spend a lot of time watching film, no running back could have filled the run game need we so glaringly have unless they somehow managed to persuade the line, TE etc to run block better in front of them. 1 1 1
