The FA pool is pretty thin and/or old, and I count 6 guys in the draft who I think you can argue make an impact on this roster in the semi-immediate future, only 3 or 4 of which are more bellcow types. Additionally, you're looking at very likely the top 3 being gone by our 2nd round pick, maybe more... Just not a lot of wiggle room to get cute, or we'll end up back with Singletary and Moss, which to me is probably an even less exciting prospect than just taking Etienne or Harris in the first... Oh, I'm totally fine with being back with Singletary and Moss, with the addition of Breida. I think the oline needs to be better at run blocking. And we have a passing offense. Singletary and Moss both showed they were good at pass blocking last year. 1 2

Taking a RB in rd 1 likely means that we’ll have this rb for 4-5 years and he’ll be gone. Harris or etienne would likely have a bigger impact on the 2021-2022 season than any other player we may draft. Just another way to try and win a title. It’s not a science, there are several winning formulas Right. Get cute and end up having to reach on Trey Sermon in the second or wind up empty handed (in terms of getting an impact guy) or just bite the bullet, take the RB and figure out how to make the rest of your picks as impactful as possible. That's how I'm starting to look at it. I would be curious to know how available Josh Jacobs is/isn't... Otherwise we're probably looking at a committee that includes Todd Gurley's hobbling corpse as our next-best-case scenario...

But I could be wrong. We'll see what happens. To be clear, I'm not necessarily *FOR* taking a RB early, I just only see so many avenues to improving the position at this point. I've seen all I need to from Singletary to know that he's not it. I saw plenty of Moss in college and now he's coming back from a pretty major injury? I'm skeptical there too. Breida's certainly worth hoping for, but he's not the kinda guy you look at and say "yea, problem solved"... I dunno, there's a lot of different directions I'd rather go than Etienne or Harris at 30, but it does feel like we're starting to get a little cornered at that position. And they made it clear that we need to run the ball better, so something's gotta give. They're running back essentially the same OL from last year, so we'll see. Hard for me to imagine at this point that Cody Ford at a new position is the difference maker in the equation... 1

The more I think about it, the Jets or fins will likely pass on rb rd 1 and take Javonte Williams in rd 2. Or etienne or Harris if they’re still available
ghostwriter Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Well there’s probably about 250-300 people I don’t want at 30. It would be easier for me to list the ones I do want. 😉 1
CNYfan Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 Leatherwood. He had a bad Senior Bowl week. I see that as a problem and would like to avoid Mr. Leatherwood 1

RiotAct Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 as long as it’s not a kicker, punter, long snapper, or quarterback, I’m good.

I would like a DE , CB , WR , G i have a feeling will adress all those positions in which rounds I guess will depend on the board , but it would surprise me if we take a WR in the 1st Edited April 6, 2021 by Putin
freddyjj Posted April 5, 2021 Posted April 5, 2021 No Najee Harris at 30 please. As SOFT as this guy. 1

Would definitely be a “rich get richer” scenario for our offense! 1
HappyDays Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 There's very few I can think of. I guess a DT of any kind I would not like. Other than that take BPA regardless of position.
YoloinOhio Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Bills are on the clock on Path to the Draft. Bucky Brooks took CB Greg Newsome from northwestern at 30. DJ took LB Derrick Barnes from Purdue at 61. Bucky took TE Brevin Jordan from Miami at 93.
OZBILLS Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 I have no idea about anybody. All I know is they won't be good and we will let them know about it!
YoloinOhio Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Omg Charley Casserly looks like he should star in Weekend at Bernies II 2
