RyanC883 Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I'd actually be fine with a RB in the 3rd round if the guy could be a stud. Better than a JAG DL or C who you can get later in the draft. Need impact players. 1 Quote
GunnerBill Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Like the player but if they draft yet another running back in the first three rounds I might send Beane a sweary letter. Quote
BuffAlone Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Love the kid. Not worth a 2nd,and likely not there @ our picks in the 4th. Him or the Estime(spellcheck) would be a perfect counter to Cook Quote
gjv Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Benson is a true three down back. Have seen him play many times. He's good enough to build your offense around him. Similar to Cleveland's Chubb. 1 Quote

Allen2Moulds Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I live in Florida and watch a lot of FSU. This guy is an absolute stud, and probably the best pure back in the draft. Amazing blend of size and speed. 1 Quote

I think we are looking for a guy who fits that power back type of mold. Benson does run with power. We'd have to spend a 2nd on him though and I can't see it. I think Estime is a realistic option. He is a bull with burst (if not long speed). Had a lousy combine and will likely drop in the draft. Fourth or fifth maybe. 2 Quote
BigAl2526 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 At least one online source rates him as a 3rd rounder, where Buffalo lacks any picks. They would have to like him well enough to trade away draft capital to get back into the third round. Quote
Rockinon Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Use our 1st round pick to trade back and also get another pick. Get our WR with that trade back. Use the additional pick to trade back up into the 3rd Rnd and grab this guy. I could be happy with that. Two studs to add to the offense. Use the rest of the draft to beef up the D. Beane has a lot of options. I don't think he's going to be willing to give up a bunch of draft capital just for one WR when there will be good ones into the 2nd round. Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted April 7 Author Posted April 7 What do you suppose James Cook’s value is? Is Benson an upgrade? Quote
Dr. Who Posted April 7 Posted April 7 They need a complementary RB2. They don't need to be spending a day 2 pick on RB. An Estime or Kendall Milton late, some bruiser type. 1 Quote

If it’s more than a few spots, another 2nd. Commanders and Panthers both have multiple 2nd’s. I doubt Beane will trade down unless it’s a really good deal for us. Like 28, 128, 163, late pick next year for 39 & 44 (Carolina) 1 Quote

Motor, Moss, Cook and now again? Awe hell naw!! Quote

Cook is a good player, but he’s not a reliable pass blocker, has really poor timed drops and the staff doesn’t use him inside the 10. 1 Quote

I guess it just depends what we got for Cook. I would think the most we’d get for him is a 4th. If that’s the case, I’d pass and keep cook. If we could trade cook for a 2nd, I’d do that in a heartbeat. Trading a non elite RB with 2 years of his rookie contract in the books is a no brainer all day every day. I love cook and I think he’s a stud. He may be top 5 RB in the league, but I don’t see him as elite atm. The dropped passes and fumbles have been crushing. I really like Benson. Possible star for sure. His style of play scares me though. So much contact. So many more opportunities for injury 1 Quote
