BBills88 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Are we taking account the oline & the run scheme. Motor proved already he can handle running the load. 1
ProcessTruster Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Really depends to some degree on who they look to lose in FA . Its all about pass and defend the pass in this league, so pass rushers and O LIne could be key in the 1st for the Bills, depending on if Daryl Williams or Matt Milano are cap casualties, for example, due to Josh's monster contract trashing the Bills salary cap. Running backs are pretty much a dime a dozen in todays NFL. Especially for this team. 1

The Colts aren't the Bills. IMO we'll see pass rusher/OL as our early selections, and more so if we can't keep Milano/Feliciano/D. Williams. We have much bigger needs.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I didn’t see anything from Moss this year that would make me stop looking for a better running back. He’s that Mike Tolbert, Chris Ivory, Frank Gore pounder that our staff likes, but he’s slow and not a game breaker.
CapeBreton Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 While Singletary and Moss aren't elite, they're both pretty solid players on rookie deals. I don't see the need to draft one in 2021, there will be lots of good RBs the next year, and the year after that, just wait until we absolutely need one.
Dablitzkrieg Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 There's no way that a running back is getting drafted again 1
The Jokeman Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) This could be a trade down year as there could be a team that wants to get a QB late in the first similar to what the Ravens did to get Lamar Jackson on 2018. I might do it if I'm the Bills to recoup some of the lost picks in the Diggs trade. As yes we don't have many immediate needs but still feel we need to work on depth at LB and depending on free agency may need some help along the offensive line. We also will likely need some help on the D-line. Edited January 19, 2021 by The Jokeman 2

Jpsredemption Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 The Bills are a modern day nfl offense and a modern day smart front office. No need to overdraft or overpay for that position. Moss and Singletary will be just fine with a new 3rd compliment.

maryland-bills-fan Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: That would make three “day one” picks used on running backs in three consecutive years - for a passing team... I think that you are ignoring some well known facts about the nfl draft. I think that there are basically 4 tiers in the draft. [1] The first 15 or so players. Very clearly superior players that are expected to start right away and may be all pro within 2-3 years [2] The 16-50 players, who are likey to be starters by the end of their first year. [3] The 51 to 230+ rest of the draft, who might make a roster and have a decreasing chance of being a starter or rotational player [4] UFA who may be practice squad player or bottom of the roster backups Yes there are exceptions all the time. The above types are just limited by the physical and mental profile of the American population. We have drafted running backs with the 74th pick (Singletary) and 86 (Moss). They are in group 3 and are nice backup players. Sometimes you may get lucky, most of the time you get what you expect. Remember that TThomas was drafted #40 [2] but without his knee injury he would have been taken earlier than the 7th RB selected. Edited January 19, 2021 by maryland-bills-fan
SoCal Deek Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I have no problem with them taking a RB early. A roster is improved through many sources: resigning players, trades, free agency, the draft. If you’re taking care of things in the other three categories then you use the draft for the fourth. The Bills are FINALLY in the position I’ve read about for years on here....take the Best Player Available! 1

Nihilarian Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 4 hours ago, kevnallen said: Don’t forget, the Thurmanator was a second round pick There was a very serious reason for that as he blew out his knee his JR year in college and his backup Barry Sanders started that season for him. When he returned he put Barry back on the bench. With so much mileage on him in college teams were afraid he was all used up. The Buffalo Bills medical staff cleared him and drafted him #40th. Thomas carried 897 times for OSU. ESPN had projected Thomas to be an early first round pick and had a TV crew in his home on draft day. Seven other RBs were drafted ahead of Thurman though.
