John from Riverside Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 God dammit is it really going to happen I mean I’m OK with him in the second round

I’m convinced that you just post the same stuff over and over and over and over and over so you can get this thread to 100 pages before Thursday. You posted it 4 times within the past several hours….each time in this thread. Do you even remember posting it? All 4 times? here, I’ll help! 😘 Edited April 27, 2022 by NewEra 1 2
Buffalo03 Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Just curious to all the "never draft a RB in the first round" people, if LaDainian Tomlinson was coming out in this draft, would he be worthy of a first round pick to you all? Possibly even a trade up candidate?

I'm not saying any of these RBs are on that level. But I also think there is a clear difference between Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson and guys you would draft in the third round. Most of the people that think you shouldn't draft a RB in the first round seem to think all RBs are interchangeable. Even RBs picked in the first round the last 5 years like McCaffrey, Elliott, Barkley etc...are way better than Singletary or Moss. Like the mindset of "let's just draft Peyton Barber in round 6 since it won't make any difference", I don't understand

34-78-83 Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Maiden, I like your guy. Not so much in rd 1 for me but, he's good for sure! I would be happy to have him on the team to root for. With that said - 1 - Can you still see daylight in that 10 foot trench you've dug? 2 - You have no clue who the Bills are enamored with. They simply don't let that stuff out. like ever in the whole tenure of McD and Beane. People that have said such things before about them and guessed right have created your confirmation bias. Lets see what happens Thursday/Friday and I'd suggest for you to look at some players at other positions that you like too juuussst in case your heart gets broken. PS. It won't mean that the Bills have messed up if they don't take him. 1

Like the mindset of "let's just draft Peyton Barber in round 6 since it won't make any difference", I don't understand The game has vastly changed over the years. It's now clearly a passing league. The run game has become secondary and just needs to be good enough to be serviceable and keep the defense honest. Elite Qbs don't need elite rbs to win games and hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Just look at KC and Tampa for evidence. A superior Oline is vastly more important than RB in todays game. QB, Oline, Dline,....., somewhere near the bottom is RB. Look at Tennessee, Clev.,and New England for evidence that good RBs aren't enough. The Bills don't need Hall or any other running back to go to the Super Bowl. Last year, the RB position didn't hinder the Bills in the playoffs. In fact, one can argue the opposite. Let's stop this silly Hall pick. No way no how do the Bills pick Hall at 25.

I understand that the game has changed but that's completely irrelevant to the fact that if Breece Hall could be the next LaDainian Tomlinson that we shouldn't draft him in the first round or even trade up for him if he's that good. Let's be real, a RB of that Caliber basically makes our offense unstoppable. That's the one spot I think our offense still lacks

You can’t make a honest comparison of the “calibers” of a guy just coming out of college and a HOF running back.

It's written off because it's RB. But if they truly feel that he is the best player there or he is who they want at that spot then take him. You don't know if he will be a HOF or not but I'd certainly hate to say 5 years from now "hmmm, you know, it would have been great draft that pro bowl RB we had a chance on but passed on simply because he's a RB". It's just stupid.

The people you’re criticizing and calling “stupid” are looking at draft and comparative potential value based on position, need, draft history, etc. It’s something you don’t seem to be interested in or capable of doing.

I'm not calling anyone stupid. I just hate that we can pass on a possible Tomlinson, Barkley, McCaffery, Elliott type player because people think it wouldn't be any different than a RB we can get in the 3rd round. If they believe he can be that good, everyone should be on board with drafting him 1 1 1

The 2 best running backs in the league right now were 2nd round picks btw.
