The only reason to draft a 1st round RB is you believe he’s a workhorse immediately.
The Bills have had good pass defense without spending top assets on a CB2.
There are multiple ways to argue this.
Richardson was a top 5 pick. It’s all about draft position. Being physically talented gets you drafted high. It doesn’t test mental ability and can’t predict health.
At least with Breece Hall he’s physically talented. CEH ran 4.61 at the combine and was undersized. Breece is one of the most physically gifted RBs ever tested. I think he has a nearly perfect RAS score.
The last 3 years the experts have been saying RB for the Bills early, 1st or 2nd round. So far they’re 0-2, but this will be the big test. Hall will be there with our 1st pick.
Breece Hall is good. I think we can get a very good RB in the 2nd, but not guaranteed. I can say that about CB and WR also.
This is why people don’t want RB, but as I’ve said all along. At pick 25 if you get a workhorse then it’s worth it.
I’m ready to Will Smith everyone about Tremaine Edmunds.
Keep the captain of our defense name out your mouth!
We are not drafting his replacement tomorrow.
