That sounds good in theory, but rookies tend to suck in pass protection and that is a vital part of being a good RB.
The Bills need a veteran. There's no way around it.
I thi k theres a decent sized gap between the Chiefs and everyone else.
Next I'd have Baltimore at 2 - then Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Cleveland & Tennessee together, until I see different on the field.
So all of Beane's eggs were in the Tee Higgins basket? Not buying it.
An opportunity to acquire Diggs presented itself and Beane jumped on it. Simple as that.
Offseason has been crazy. I like it.
Either choice would be better than what he had last year.
Evans, Godwin, Brate, Howard
vs
Allen, Williams, Henry, Ekeler
Because?
I'll assume you feel the same about Mark Ingram, Carlos Hyde and Latavius Murray.
Productive, veteran backs that are apart of a committee but can shoulder the load if need be. They are valuable, whether fans on this board think so or not.
I'm glad Beane knows this.
Beane is on the right track.
A bunch of fans on here wanted to wait and draft a 2nd or 3rd round WR. My concern was that Josh didn't have 3 years to wait for a guy to potentially develop and adjust to the pro game.
Beane seemed to realize the same, hence the trade for Diggs. I'm encouraged. The rumored interest in Jordan Howard makes even more sense now.
