If we keep him in to block at all, THEN it is a wasted pick. I'm all for that but does Daboll believe in that offensive strategy? Your RB (whoever it is) has to be able to block at least sometimes. And the only flaw I read about ETN is his blocking. I'm all for being aggressive and grabbing him. Teams toward the end of last season simply ignored our rbs. 2
Logic Posted April 28, 2021 Author Posted April 28, 2021 7 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: I think if the Bills do take a RB they trade Singletary. Yeah, I'd have to agree that if they take ETN or Harris, something's gotta give in the RB room. Last year, they only dressed 3 RBs on game days, with one of them being special teams guy Taiwan Jones. They re-signed Jones, and he will continue to be active for special teams purposes. Unless they plan to make 4 RBs active on game days this year or someone at a different position beats out Taiwan Jones for his special teams snaps, they'd almost HAVE TO trade away one of their running backs. The only problem is that they'd be trading Singletary away when his value is at its lowest, and I can't imagine they'd get more than a very late round pick back in exchange for him. Drafting a player in the third round, playing him for two years, then trading him away for a 6th or 7th isn't great business. Then again, they haven't been afraid to move on from previous high draft picks (Zay Jones).

Plus, blocking IS something that can be taught.

They very well might do the same with Devin. There's no way they're bringing that many rbs to the 53.

I’m not saying that drafting a RB is the key to us beating them, but to insinuate that we have to draft defense in order to beat the chiefs is a bad take yo. A team also has to score a lot of points to beat the chiefs. 17 and 24 isn’t a lot of points. Stopping the chiefs O isn’t the key to beating them. Scoring more points than them is. You said yo. Therefore, we are now friends. Word. 1

Keeping him on the roster, when he is contributing little, getting good bucks and taking up a roster spot is dumber.

Moss, the addition of Breida bringing some speed, Devin taking the offseason very seriously and even getting a chance to see what Antonio Williams could do in camp and preseason has got me saying that just may be enough this year. It seems if they can find another gunner to make Taiwan Jones replaceable and enabling the Bills to dress 3 pure RBs that may be the answer. I'm sure glad all this is up to Brandon Beane and not me!

He's not bad and deserves to be in the league, but he's replacement-level and you can get an equivalent in the fifth/sixth round for which you'll have two more years of control. With Singletary, you're trading 4 years of control for 2 years. That would make sense if he was more of a game changer than he is, but he isn't. 2
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I will not be upset if we get him at 30, I will only be upset if we trade up to get him. If Beane and McDermott feel that he is the right fit at 30, that's good enough for me. I loved watching him when he was at Clemson and certainly wouldn't mind getting to see him in a Bills uniform on Sundays. (or whatever day our games will be this year)

Jerry Butler was real good. 4 hours ago, LABILLBACKER said: As long as we don't have to trade up to get him I could tolerate the pick. He'll immediately need to learn pass blocking. I do like his RB skills/speed over Najee. It will be hard to see McB pass on a defensive player @ 30. That defensive player might not be as good at his position as Etienne is at his. In that case I’d rather have Etienne. That said, whatever they do I’ll be good with it. They’re in good shape.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 4 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: Much like the Roulette Results board in a casino, past results don't mean much for predicting the current pick. It was far easier to hit on our pick when we were consistently picking in or near the Top 10. I feel like even I accurately predicted our picks, going back to at least Gilmore. And I dont know anything. Now, if he nails this pick, then THAT is something to brag about, and I'll give him a lot of credit going into next year's mocks. I agree with the above. I was thinking that - when the Bills are drafting in the top 10, much easier to decide who they want. We'll see I guess. I am under-impressed with the notion.
