I rank Bijan behind Zeke and Barkley coming out. I thought Barkley was as good of a RB prospect as I could remember and Zeke is my favorite Buckeye ever. That probably clouded my judgement some. I have him above Etienne, CEH, Fournette, Jacobs, Penny, Michel, Najee and every other first round back in the last 10+ years. This is a garbage draft though so it’s tough to see him at 27. He’s safe with big upside. Harris, to me, is what they wanted Moss to be. He brings a different skill set and can convert in short yardage. Harris rounds out th skill set in the RB room. He’s a decent back. The running game depends on Cook’s development IMO. If he takes a step, which he might, they’ll be okay. Saffold has historically been a superior run blocker to McGovern as well (McGovern is an obvious upgrade overall).

Bruh, are you serious?!? 😂😂 You said a bunch of nonsense about “the whole league knows it.” Hyperbole and exaggeration doesn’t impress me. All that I’ve said is that we lost a decent rotational back and replaced him with a different kind of decent rotational back. Not sure what you’re talking about but I know nonsense when I see it.

I think that Bijan is a can’t miss star. I think that the Bills were really high on him. This draft just lacks top end talent so he will go earlier than expected. He’s a top 5 player in this class. I think that they, and everyone else, loves the player.

Let’s see who got more money before we pretend to know how the league views these players. You’ll look pretty bad saying “the entire NFL knows it” if that’s not how it plays out.

I hope that you’re right. Statistics wouldn’t support that. Cook making the leap is the only way that they will be better than okay. He might just do that. He was good late in the season.

That’s fair. He is definitely a better fit next to Cook. He’s what people wanted Moss to be.

That’s probably a part of the excitement in this thread. He has been GREAT against the Bills.

I don’t think that Harris is better (I do think it is close though). I do think Harris is a better fit next to Cook (who I expect to be the primary back). I’m fine with the signing. I would have preferred a mid-round pick or someone that doesn’t count in the comp formula. With that being said, Harris will be fine and improve the Bills in short yardage. Cook’s development is the best hope for the running game to make the leap.

Singeltary has 368 more touches than Harris. These conversations only work when we apply facts and real info. People can’t just make things like “Harris has 3x the workload.”

Lol, what are you taking about?!? Singletary has 368 more touches!! You think by just making up numbers, people will believe you?? 😂😂 I don’t think they are the same. I think Singletary is slightly better. He’s more durable and a better receiver.

They aren’t where they need to be, but they are incrementally better. Harty is a threat but he is 5’6” (or whatever) coming off a turf toe injury. He’s certainly a ? but was dynamic or a per target basis in NOLA. They LOVED him. He adds that “big play ability.” These other additions are minor upgrades IMO. The offense regressed last year. I’m hoping Dorsey improves this year as well. This offense is still dependent on Josh to carry them.

I actually believe Harty to be the most impactful offensive addition. He’s the guy that adds a dimension that they have been lacking. The rest of the additions are either slight upgrades on their predessors (Sherfield > Kumerow, McGovern > Saffold) or slight downgrades (Harris < Motor) IMO. Harty is a dynamic playmaker that can make things happen on his own. The offense has gotten better overall. They needed to. They needed people that can keep Josh upright and people that can take the ball to the house on their own. Hines has some of that as well and was used sparingly. They still need another WR near the top of the depth chart that can win at all 3 levels.

You might be right. Campbell feels like a reach there to me. I understand it though. He will play lots of snaps and the scheme doesn’t need to change drastically.

I’m thinking DL is on the table. I really wanted offense in the 1st 2 rounds. Protect Josh and give him weapons

Appreciate the intelligent conversation…

Elliot and a comp pick > Harris If this is the RB room, they are fine. That’s EXACTLY what I said. If they took McBride or Bigsby in the middle of the draft, they would have been fine. I don’t see this is anything more than raising the floor (which is okay).

Why is he better? They have the same YPC. Motor has been way more durable while playing in a less run-friendly offense. Motor is also a superior reciever. Again, Harris is a decent back. He raises the floor.

We know but you haven’t articulated why. You just called me a dick because I think he’s “solid.” I’d love to hear WHY you think differently?? I hope that he’s a star. I just don’t see it. He is fine and helps the team. He eliminates a hole.

So you think he will be a star? I said that he is solid. He’s a (slightly) lesser Motor IMO. He also hurts the potential for comp picks (not that we need to focus on that). I would have preferred the draft. Harris is fine but it doesn’t move the needle for me.

You might be right. TE seems like a real possibility. This signing tells me that they don’t think Bijan will be there. They must not love the “middle round” guys. Harris raises the floor.

Again, I don’t need your approval. My reputation is solid here. What SPECIFICALLY do you disagree with that I said??

Lol, sorry to burst your bubble. They signed a decent rotational back with injury history. You are calling me “a dick” for calling it like it is. He’s okay but doesn’t deserve a key to the city or a parade.

That’s what I’m afraid of.

Sorry for being a realist? He’s “fine.” They are “okay” at RB. Both of those things are true. Harris raises the floor and lessens the need for a back. Do you really see this signing differently?!? 😂😂

He’s fine. The Bills are trying to “eliminate holes” on offense in FA. The RB room is okay at the moment.
