2022 RB Draft class looks pretty good

[John Gianelli]

Kyren Williams of Notre Dame might still be available in the third round.

Don't know. Jonathan Taylor would look pretty good in a Bills uniform right about now. Assuming we had a competent O line of course.

Or Nick Chubb, or JK Dobbins, or Javonte Williams or DeAndre Swift etc.  2nd round is a great spot for a big star back

[LeGOATski]

Use the early rounds for linemen because it's harder to find quality linemen. Fire the current line coaches because they suck.

 

Draft a couple RBs with the highest RAS in the later rounds.

There are absolutely zero 1st round worthy RB's. I would have no problem with Walker or Charbonnet as long as they're no slower than 4.55

    We need to make Scherff our big FA and draft a G in the first.

They said the same about Jonathan Taylor and I guarantee if there was a draft do over many teams would select Taylor in rd 1. 

[SCBills]

Sign an IOL in FA, and then draft an IOL in the 1st and I’m fine taking a RB in the 2nd.  
 

Singletary can stay.  He’s average at everything except the one thing our OL hasn’t provided him… getting into the second level/space.   If that changes, he will turn a lot of 6-8 yard runs into 12-15 yards.

How is the guard and center class?

Concentrate on the OL in the off-season.  Going to need at least a new starting C and LG.

 

Remember when the Broncos could put in guys you’d never heard of and they would tear it up? The RB needs talent, but they absolutely need some room to run.

I would hate for us to burn a 1st or 2nd round draft choice on a RB!

Obviously if Zack Moss turns it around would be the best news but should he keep getting benched…

 

With KJ Walker declaring for the draft there’s like 5 top 2ish round kinda prospects 

Bryce Hall Iowa State

Isiah Spiller (no relation to CJ) Texas A&M

Zamir White Georgia 

KJ Walker Sparty

 Zach Charbonnet UCLA

 

The Bills could actually get a nice Guard prospect cause it is deep at Guard in the first

Comeback with RB to get at least Moss

replaced and immediately upgrade the depth at two positions 

Here’s the thing…so what if he’s related to CJ?  Is there anyone here right now that wouldn’t take CJ Spiller in the backfield right now?

[Maine-iac]

Biggest thing I'd like to see as an addition to our backfield is a true short yardage back.  Signed or drafted but someone who tips the scales at over 220.  Singletary is great between the 20s and with a better line he might be able to find the end zone but I'd still like a power back.  Even if we still throw or let Josh run on 3rd and 4 just having a bigger threat in short yardage might open up play action or we could hand it off and have someone who can actually move the pile.

From the little I've read and watched on this year's RBs I really like Charbonnet. Sounds like he can power through defenders, has breakaway speed and good vision, and can pass protect well. Reminds me of Henry/Taylor/Mixon. I'd gladly spend a low 1st on a player like that although I recognize that is not a popular opinion.

Actually, I just watched a little bit of each RB, and they ALL look better than what we have on the roster...I’d be happy with any of them...👍

 I disagree.  If you want a talent like Harris , a true. 3 down talent , you should quit bargain shopping or worrying about taking a rb in the Firestone round.  You need a major talent up grade as you have motor and that’s it.  Get a young guy Allen can grow with.  We’ve seen the mistakes made by waiting and then talent becomes similar; get someone who stands out.  Guards are rarely valued as it’s round talent as there are so many more of them coming out.  Centers/ tackles are first round material but we’re not looking for that and it’s better to go,FA route for lineman.   Look, we had good late round talent and we gave it away or it was taken.

 

Quit bargain shopping, it has obvious results ; get young lineman with some experience.  We have made many bad choices drafting lineman.  Mike Williams stands out, and we gave Teller away , so it tells you our staff has issues identifying lkne talent. Morse , our best is second best lineman was not our draft pick.   We hit on Brown late , so that shows line talent can be picked up in later rounds and developed. With backs, you can’t teach size, speed, vision, and I sound grab back talent quickly.  We need a good back, line play can be improved by proper coaching , ask John Fina!  Kc, Pittsburgh, Ravens, all qualityrunni;g teams drafted good backs early. We need to preserve Allen before he has a career threatening injury.  He was not drafted because of his rinning, he was drafted for leadership,and his unique arm atrength.  One 100 yard game and he came very close to missing games or more. 
 

we will be drafting in the mid - late first round.  Perfect place to grab RB talent.  We are a run game away fro a good offense.  Much harder to find a true 3 down back to diversify the o and make it harder on defenses to key on , than find a couple of serviceable guards that csn be trained with good o line. coaching.  ( Fina has discussed that=our line is not terrible, but inconsistent with technique and that makes sense ). Again , tackles are different.  , but we have those. Let’s get the missing piece for Allen before we lose him. I get a premiere back and this o can become what it’s supposed too. Get one as soon as you can. Guards are much easier to find plus would be better to get a couple of good FA because two rookie guards sounds like an o line mess for a year.

Yeah. Everyone was worried with his heavy workload at Wisconsin. How’s that working out?

I don't think Singletary needs to be gotten rid of when given enough work to get into the rhythm of the game he does do good they were talking on 1 bills live that last week in the second half he hit a few runs and his average was (if i remember correctly) like 13 YPC and his average this year is near the NFL average.

 

Moss on the other hand not so good especially the way they try to use him as the short yardage back he's just not big enough to be that guy IMHO they need a guy in the 230 lb range that has some decent speed to him .

 

If there is a guy like that in next years draft they need to trade Moss for a pick and use it to get that guy .

 

 

Unfortunately I don't think moss is tradeable. Not for anything meaningful at least. I do not like the idea of using first 2 picks on an rb. I'd personally like to see guard, LB, cb, 1 tech or a big bodied reciever. I could be convinced for a great talent at rb in the 3rd, especially speed and good hands.

DB is the most pressing concern, unless we address that in FA. After that, no halfback is going to succeed unless we upgrade the line.  

Why do you feel the need to bring in common sense and get all logical.

Looks like he would fit in nicely actually.

 

"Hits the line with physicality and has the ability to wear down a defense. Can run between the tackles but improved burst allows him to run outside."

I want to see the word physicality in every pick's scouting report, regardless of position.   Should be Beane's focus.

Guard and oline in general is very deep so much so Tyler Linderbaum the all world C/G at Iowa isn’t scheduled to go until the 20s
