Really happy we are getting someone that can catch out of the backfield. I was worried we were going to a 1 trick bowling ball to go with Singletary, now defenses have to account for passing for either back.

I was a bit concerned about his injury history (knee) - but he came back from that with a vengeance garnering 3rd team AP All American honors. I think the Bills have likely looked into the inury and feel comfortable. Without that injury concern, this is guy is a borderline first round talent!! I thought he may come out last year itself - but he had to defer because of the injury.

guy is like a bowling ball fired from a cannon, his jersey should have a warning sign: "tackle at your own risk"

Weird analogy.  Wouldn't a...you know...cannonball fired from a cannon be more effective?

Good down hill runner, just enough shake and bake to make you miss. 
 

I do wish we had some more speed in the backfield. Don’t love having 2 mid 4.6 guys as your 1,2,

I'm a little surprised that he was still there at 86 but I'm not complaining.  He is a really tough runner. This is a pretty good pick.  I expect Beane to make another move before the end of this round or at the beginning of round 4 at a minimum.  He still has more picks than he has room on the roster.

Per Dane Brugrler (The Athletic)

 

STRENGTHS: Elite run balance to squirm out of tackle attempts, keeping his feet through contact…punishing finisher…doesn’t admit defeat as a runner and bursts into contact, delivering a little extra into defenders and bouncing off hits like they’re an evening breeze…built with a solid core and powerful hips…agile runner with lateral cut-and-go skills to keep defenders off balance…allows blocks to develop and quickly clears holes…patient, but decisive as an upfield decision-maker, sensing defenders around him…admirable run toughness, using a strong stiff arm…competitive in pass protection, squaring up and slowing rushers…productive when targeted as a pass catcher…put several explosive plays on his film (accounted for 16 plays of 25+ yards in 2019)…plays through pain and wasn’t healthy for most of his junior (ankle) and senior (shoulder) seasons…productive career, becoming the first player with three 1,000-yard rushing seasons. 
 
WEAKNESSES: Only average start/stop acceleration…can be caught from behind and won’t erase pursuit angles…needs to keep a consistent weight, bouncing between 205 and 220 pounds while at Utah…durability is a red flag – missed the final five games as a junior after he aggravated a pre-existing issue and his knee “locked up” while getting into bed (November 2018); played through a right ankle injury for much of his junior season (September 2018); diagnosed with a grade two AC sprain in his left shoulder, missing one game (September 2019), but requiring injections down the stretch to finish the season. 
 
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Utah, Moss lined up primarily in the shotgun in one-back sets for the Utes, producing in both gap and zone looks. He leaves Utah with the school records for career rushing yards (4,067), career rushing touchdowns (38) and 100-yard rushing games (19). Moss displays instinctive run qualities and forces missed tackles with his striking combination of body control, nimble feet and finishing mentality. With the way he attacks contact and plays through pain, there is no questioning his toughness, but his injury history makes durability a strong concern. Overall, Moss’ contact balance, smooth cutting skills and competitive play personality allow him to consistently create yardage, projecting as an NFL starter with every-down potential if the medicals stay clean. 
 
GRADE: 3rd Round

so second best DE and second Best RB according to PFF

 

Wait til they give their draft grades. Will say Bills reached on both. PFF is a joke.
