Yes … but he doesn’t need to be until 2026…

 

I don’t want to draft a guy in the 4th Round to play behind Cook, Johnson and Davis …

 

Draft a guy in 12 months if they need to 

I refuse to pay him like Saquon Barkley and don’t want the unnecessary distraction of his contract situation

There is no guarantee that Johnson is back. I’m sure the Bills would love to have him back for sure but Johnson had a monster year for him, plays a position where the shelf life is small, and was a journeyman before coming to Buffalo , so he is going to try to maximize his bottom line while his play is at his peak. Might get too high for the Bills liking especially with their limited dollars

Neal seems to be a talented prospect, BUT...

If the Bills re-sign James Cook, then between him and Ray Davis, I don't see the need to spend a 4th on a running back. Even IF Ty is not re-signed, then a late rounder or UDFA or post-draft veteran signee should be fine for RB3. It's a very deep running back class.

That said, if for any reason the Bills feel like re-signing James Cook is NOT going to be the likely outcome (which I don't anticipate), then that changes things.

 

Has a verdict came down on Gore Jr. to this point or is he just a PS player ?

Assuming Cook plays for the Bills next year (with or without a new contract), I totally agree. I would say 5th round or higher is allowable, but no RBs in the 4th or earlier. I don’t care if the guy available in the late 4th has a high 3rd round grade and is sticking out on the board. Those guys come along every other year.

That’s a different argument …I wouldn’t worry too much about the possible distraction at this early stage …. Likely it doesn’t happen.

yeah I know … if you follow back back through the thread ..this is a hypothetical discussion if Johnson is back … I don’t see the need to draft this guy too…
