Mat68 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 If Buffalo doesnt draft a Rb they will be going shopping post june 1st for 1. Many options. I would lean more Zeke style. Dobbins is a high injury risk. Need a guy for the Murray role but with more juice. Quote
Solomon Grundy Posted March 27 Posted March 27 9 hours ago, BuffaloBillyG said: Zeke averaged a whopping 3.5 yards per carry last year. Down a bit from the 3.8 yards per carry he had the year before. And just over 6 yards per reception. I would say the "Zeke is washed" arguments have some merit to them. I like him for his pass protection alone!! 1 Quote
LABILLBACKER Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Just draft a cheap power back in the 6th round....done! No more older vet experiments like Gore, Murray, Harris etc. And no more wasting 3rd round picks on RB's. Quote
biggerdaddynj Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Injuries look at the numbers when he started, 15 starts as rookie in 2020, missed second due to ACL in 2021, and rebounded in 2022 to start 8 games before ACL: 2020: 134-805-6.0ypc-9TDs-2 Fs-0 lost 2021 out all year ACL/MCL 2022 Started 8 games before Achilles 92-520-5.72ypc-4TDs-4Fs-2 lost 2023 Out all year Achilles Guy surely distinguished himself when healthy. And, recovered from two major injuries. Tre still working on it but older and many wanted to give him a chance. Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who did the surgery on Dobbins' torn Achilles suffered during the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Texans, wrote a letter to NFL teams informing them that Dobbins is ready to go, per NFL Media, which noted that ElAttrache's letter also stated that the running back looks "outstanding" in his recovery. 1 Quote
biggerdaddynj Posted March 27 Posted March 27 If medically cleared JK Dobbins and Ty Johnson are a $3.1 RB2/3 tandem. Spotrac Dobbins mkt $2.1M and Ty is $1.29M is $3.4M. Ty is set with his $$ but we need more weapons for Allen and Dobbins on a one year cap friendly prove it deal playing on a high potency offense, high profile team would help him a long way.This is the year for Beane to take a high ceiling shot especially since we have no money for another non-draftee on offense. Risk/reward. BTW: JK Dobbins is 5’10 215lbs. Pretty strong. Quote
TFBillsfan Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I’ll take Bralon Allen from Wisconsin thru the draft! 6’2” 240lbs 20 yrs old. Would be a fantastic one two punch for the future! 2 Quote
BarleyNY Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I would be happy to take a flier on Dobbins. Love him as a RB, but he’s coming back from an achilles (on top of the ACL he had prior). As long as the risk is very low and we don’t let signing him preclude us from drafting another RB I would love to have him. Quote
Chicken Boo Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I have no doubt about JK's talent. It's just a shame that his body is failing him. Dude was averaging 5.8ypc up until this last injury. Quote
BananaB Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Get James to get his bro to back him up on a cheap deal. Quote
stinky finger Posted March 28 Posted March 28 On 3/27/2024 at 3:38 AM, Doc Brown said: Hard pass and I liked him coming out of the draft because he sounded like a Harry Potter character. I'll let someone else take that chance coming off a torn ACL and a torn Achilles. Maybe the Rams give him $8.5m. We'll find someone through the draft and if that doesn't come to fruition sign someone like Murray like we did last year. I'm holding out hope for Zeke Elliott personally. Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I have a hunch that after today anyone wanting Dobbins may need to look elsewhere. This fit with Roman being there makes a lot of sense. They have already inked Gus Edwards and look to add. Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Just draft an RB Jaylen Wright, B.Allen, I.Guerendo Quote
