#27 Jahmyr Gibbs

[balln]

Walter football , walt and charlie both had bills taking him at 27. Hes excellent value at 27. get 5 years out of him and no 2nd contract. Theres no one else worthy at 27 folks. 

 

Gibbs, Cook, and Damien Harris. Lets goooooooo

 

 

[wppete]

Maybe trade back up a few spots in the 2nd round if he is still on the board, not at #27.

[Warriorspikes51]

lol let’s see whose on the board at 27 first. I really have no interest in him though. 

[DCbillsfan]

Wouldn't a starter at any other position, who is deserving of a 2nd contract, offer more value at 27 than Gibbs?

Bills and drafting a RB with their 1st round pick

 

Draft experts:

[Aussie Joe]

“Draft experts” have to find a landing spot for RBs that they have a first round grade on in their mock drafts …and for some reason these last few years it’s always the Bills..

 

I would put the chances as below 5 percent they pick this guy at 27

As a fiscal matter, you are 100% correct. If for some reason, the Bills brain trust thinks Gibbs or another low value position player is the missing link to a Super Bowl for the 2023 season, it could be logical to not follow the logical fiscal decision.

Ok I hear that. Maybe more of a product of having to peg someone in. 
 

bills need impact players. If he ends up Alvin kamara or cmc - even tho it looks silly on paper now. You gotta pull the tirgger

 

vs other positions that will end up like marginal players / Rousseau and Oliver and elam

My problem is that they don’t seem to value RBs in their play calling enough to justify a first round pick …

 

They have their second round pick from last year, a guy they traded a 5th for mid season, ( and then never used) and they rounded it out with Damien Harris who I think is good player and gives them a bit of power to go with the other two’s finesse and speed..

 

If this is their 3 RBs that suit up each week then I think that’s sufficient to meet their run game commitments 

[John from Riverside]

No

[stinky finger]

You know how I know I hate this draft? The RBs are beginning to look real good to me.

 

[MJS]

I'll barf if we take a RB in round 1, especially if it isn't even the best RB.

[fergie's ire]

The problem with drafting a running back and keeping him on a "cheap" rookie deal is that a first round salary is actually pretty expensive for a running back.  Devin Lloyd was the 27th pick last year and signed for 3.2 million a year.  This year, that pick will cost a bit more.  That would mean that only 4 of this year's free agent RBs would have been more expensive.  Only 2 (Sanders and Montgomery) at about 6 million are substantially more.  So, for about the same price you could get a Perine, Mattison, or one of the Miami backs.  Sure, maybe Gibbs will be great and much better than those backs, but many 1st round backs disappoint, too. At least with a free agent you have a better sense of what they can do.  With what running backs make, and how the rookie scale works, I just don't think a 1st round RB selection makes sense.

It only makes sense if they’re really good. Bc it’s predictable they fall off precipitously from age 28,29,30.

I'm with you. I'm just underwhelmed with this draft in general.

[MrEpsYtown]

This is literally an exact replica of what happened last year. Clear massive hole at corner. Beane talks up Dane Jackson etc. All the mocks have us taking Breece Hall, we take a corner. 
 

Here we are again, with a better running back room from last year and being mocked a worse prospect than Hall. 
 

Beane is hiding his intentions, big time.

And piss off all three of them for lack of carries.

[JDubya76]

Love Gibbs, what round do we draft a QB that is willing to swing passes out to the flat to the RB and where do we hire the OC that utilizes a running back? 
 

Can’t see the Gibbs at 27 with all of our holes and the way we use the position.

I will just my TV If the Bills draft Gibbs.

 

Make no sense whatsoever if you are trying to win a Super Bowl in the next couple of years. 

[DJB]

Similar player to a Cook and we just signed Harris

 

If we go RB then it better be Robinson who profiles as a 3 down game breaking gold jacket type

 

Otherwise it would be a bad decision in round 1 or 2
