Nothing to get excited about,  average speed( 4.56) and average size.  The name of the game is speed and we are still slow at RB,m. I am sure the experts will not agree

But this is why we don’t win Super Bowls. You need high end talent at all positions. Breece Hall is faster and equally catches passes as well as McKissic. I don’t want to just get better, I want to dominate. That’s what it takes to win Super Bowls. 

 

 

Total nonsense.

 

If that's what it took to win Super Bowls nobody would every have won one.

 

Nobody has high end talent at all positions. Nobody.

Great. Let's flip it around then. 

 

We all know we need a CB2. What if Beane spent $3.5M/yr on a low-level CB and drafted Breece Hall in the 2nd. Wouldn't we be having the same conversation?

 

I know in my case I'd rather get a solid, young CB on a cost-controlled contract than I would a RB... but that's just me.

Lazy take.  I'm not saying this signing excites me, mind.

But the paradox of Breida was a very fast guy who saw >100 carries a year and 20 receptions a year for 3 years on a very good team that went to the Superbowl, but then could barely see the field in Miami.  Was he used up/injured/demotivated?  Or was it Miami?

 

McKissic has struggled with injuries the last two seasons, but he's a legit receiving threat out of the backfield with 80 targets and 60 receptions per season the last two years, even WITH missing some games.  He's seen the field whenever healthy, and they've missed him when he's not.

 

Almost 50% of his receiving yards are YAC and close to that for rush yards, so he might bring that YAC element that was missing from the short passing game as well.

 

Hope we can "get him right" and keep him healthy though

I watch many Washington games when they don't conflict with Bills games. This was a steal, he will take Singletary's spot if if Devin isn't careful.

JD brings the excitement. We will not be drafting a RB.

You mean he's taking Moss' spot

Bye bye Beasley. Bills getting a backup RB/possible slot WR all in one. Not bad but still need to shore up backup TE and a veteran DE to help the young kids and of course a veteran backup QB. Maybe all these Washington guys can convince Fitz to come in as a backup.

Moss/Beasley spot hopefully we do draft a RB and/or a CB that can  add outside depth and return kicks/punts to shore up another hole.

This is short sighted and stupid

 

There is this thing called a salary cap and you HAVE to find those value gems in order to fill out your roster.   You only have so many picks....the draft is a crapshoot....and if you hit on HALF of those picks you are doing well.

 

I give a rats ass on the name on the back of the jersey as long as they are giving the production needed.

Without pointing the finger directly at anyone, this board always reminds me that many people make judgements based solely on name recognition. If it's not bright and shiny they simply have no ability to appreciate value. For those of you that possess and embrace this blind spot, good luck in life.

 

This is also a good place to be reminded that many fans don't understand the difference between game speed and timed speed. These are the fans who thought that Gabriel Davis was a wasted draft pick.

I actually love this guy as a player. I know what he’s done is catch an incredible amount of passes but he’s a good runner too. I think the Bills should just make this guy the every down RB and see what’s what

If Breece is there at our second round pick I will let you change my avatar to your choice. There is zero percent chance of that happening. he goes mid second the latest likely late first early second.

Looks like he is much faster then 40 time,  so he could help.  I still hope the Bills draft another RB in the draft with great speed,  not sold on Singletary as a starter because of his lack of speed.  This guy looks like he has some burst

His real name is Joshua Dobbie McKissic, sounds like trouble to me

Its also a take without taking a look at the strengths of the two players

 

If Brieda could pick up the blitz he would have gotten a lot more time with the bills because he fit a need we absolutey have.   if McK can do this you are looking at your 3rd down back right out the gate.

And we have larger needs so it all works out

[Sestak4ever]

This is a good signing and will drive linebackers crazy. Do I cover the running back out of the backfield or hold my ground and see if Josh takes off? Our OC should have fun with this keeping opposing DC’s guessing.

Lol this isn't my argument, so feel free to sub in whatever RB you want for Breece Hall. My points are

 

a.) it's perhaps it's a bit wiser to spend a 2nd on a CB than it is a RB, and

b.) we're doing to have to decide what positions to prioritize.

Wrong. Do some research and you'll find out. Something tells me with the laziness of the take that you don't do much of that tho.

You heard it here folks. ALL IT TAKES is high end talent at ALL positions. He's cracked the code. Somebody alert the GMs!
