YattaOkasan Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 My thoughts. I don’t want a Rb in round 1. I really don’t want to trade up for a rb in round 1. above all else trust the FO 1

He specifically says McBeane don't want Allen to be taking a lot of hits anymore. Well yeah he’s about to invest like 300 million dollars into him 1
TheFunPolice Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 hard to get too upset about another weapon on offense... But I can't see them trading up for a RB. Whatever happens, I hope this doesn't hurt our chances of getting a Mt. ________________ at DT in this draft.
njbuff Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 I call total BS. If the Bills are moving up, AT ALL, it's for a top CB that might be falling like Horn, Newsome, etc. 3 1 1
Turk71 Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) The Bills were 2nd last in the league (31st) in yards before contact per rushing attempt. In other words their offensive line was 31st in creating space for their running backs. On the other hand the Bills running backs were 2nd in the league at gaining yards after first contact, only one team did better. I'm not saying the Bills running backs are great or that Etienne wouldn't be a great improvement, I am saying that the Bills line is not creating space for the backs and the rbs are already outperforming the blocking they're running behind. Etienne would be an awesome weapon to have but if the run blocking is still 31st will it make that much of a difference? Edited April 26, 2021 by Turk71 4 1 2

That is Travis ETN. He said in the off season presser the Bills lacked a home run hitter. And a TE that scares people. That's ETN, and....Ertz?
BillsfaninSB Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 I’m good with a RB at 30 this year but not a trade up. With that said this is not a normal draft and later round picks are not as valuable. If they burn up picks, this is the year to do it. But preserve 2022 at all costs.
JimBob2232 Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 I like etn. Would be happy with him. Trading up for a RB though...not too happy. but beans has earned my trust. Whatever he decides I’ll go in with an open mind. 2
TroutDog Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 I heard it, too. Right here on TBD. Seems like silly nonsense to me.
quincy Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Smokescreen or not, I am interested in the cost of the trade up to number 22. On the PFN simulator, the Titans would not budge until offering up number 93 and the Bills 2022 2nd round pick. Managed to get a 3 for 3 in the end after numerous failed attempts. Is this a realistic trade? Loss of the 3rd round pick stung a bit! For fun, the draft ended up being: 22. Travis Etienne RB Clemson 61. Joe Tryon Edge Washington 126. Keith Taylor CB Washington 161. Marvin Wilson DT Florida State 174. Nick Eubanks TE Michigan 213. Cornell Powell WR Clemson 236. Christian Uphoff S Illinois State 3 1
The Jokeman Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Didn't Beane say in his presser our top pick could be for the future? I smell BS Todd!
mjt328 Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Brandon Beane is a good General Manager. The Bills are now a very well-run organization. It's hard for me to believe this rumor, because trading up for a RB in the first round is something a team like the Jets or Bengals would do.

SirAndrew Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Etienne would be a strange pick, because it means Beane admitting he failed on two running back selections. I understand the need for a dynamic playmaker, but they could have went for speed, instead they went with Moss and Singletary.
McBean Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 I would prefer NAJEE but would stoked with ETN. 1. harris 2. E moore 3. ETN Any of those 3 and I’m stoked 1 1
BillsSbSoon Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) I doubt beane would let this leak. I think they love etn but i dont see him trading up for a rb in the 1st, even taking one seems like a smokescreen. I love etn but i dont really believe this at all Edited April 26, 2021 by BillsSbSoon 1

Harris is a stud. Breida is one of the fastest RBs in the league and he’s here already, so that’s not “the” key element in the Rb equation. 2
947 Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 McShay is a complete buffoon. It boggles my mind that someone pays him to do draft analysis. That said, trading up from 30 to 23 would cost st least a 3rd rounder. I see no way Beane would ever consider that, I bet he laughed his butt off when he read McShay's take.
