Coach Tuesday Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Sure, why not? It's clearly a position of need and they haven't drafted a RB in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrid Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) rnd 2 is perfect for QB (if not takn in 1st), OT, or finish off front 7. If they draft RB at all, it should be very late. Edited April 5, 2011 by dgrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I suspect that we won't take a RB in the draft. However, if we do, Syracuse RB Delone Carter will likely be there in the 5th or 6th round. He's a short, stout, powerful back. Might be a good compliment to "scat-back" CJ Spiller for the future.

mrags Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 IF and that's a big IF, Ingram is there in the 2nd round and we don't take him I'll be extremely pissed. Worst case scenario, Ingram will most likely he a very good player. Comparisons to Emmitt Smith all over the place. As much as I LOVE Jackson and as much as I think CJ can and will be a good back in this league. The facts are this... Jackson is getting old (regardless of miles on the engine), you need 2 good backs on any team, and Ingram would be a huge impact player from the start.

We have much more important things to think about than a RB Defense is priority #1 as the old saying goes D wins championships . Just look at last year , if our D would have been a bit more stout we could have added at least 4 or 5 more games to our over all total of wins which would have put us at 500 for the year . Offense isn't the problem in Buffalo or i should say isn't as big of a problem , Gailey will continue to tweak some stuff like the running game but D is this years priority !!!

Zulu Cthulhu Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Jackson will probably be good for another 2 years or so. I've had my fill of high round running backs the past 8 years. I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure--19 ppg is good for 4-5 wins a season. Couple of tweaks, a little of that famous CJ electricity and we push it over 20. Offense is fine. Anyway, I see CB in 1st and RB in 2nd. Why not, right? (Shh--I'm laying down a "smokescreen" that will influence the two teams picking ahead of us in the draft to do something that is advantageous for us!)......

No, we need to quit screwing around and fix our weaknesses not our strengths. I suspect that we won't take a RB in the draft. However, if we do, Syracuse RB Delone Carter will likely be there in the 5th or 6th round. He's a short, stout, powerful back.

It is a possibility with all the defensive talent going in the first round that someone will be left at that spot who is a quality first round talent. I am assuming that this will be our most likely position for a trade down, and I hope we can get good value from another team for the pick.

Def. Line with first pick. No Von Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreReed83 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Why not? We need someone to back up Freddie. He can't do it all himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think they should draft a running back in each of the first 6 rounds and then find our QB in the 7th. Oh my gosh, if this team ever drafts a RB in the 1st two rounds ever again, I will jump ship.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 With this organization always trying to outsmart the experts on draft day I could see one of our first 4 rounders being an everyday RB. Nothing surprises me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 ARE YOU NUTS???? A draft this heavy with defensive linemen and linebackers and we consider taking yet ANOTHER running back...I guess this is proof positive that some consider Spiller a major bust. I'm not ready to give up on him yet. We may have one of the two best offensive tackles make it to our second round pick and almost certainly will have one of the two best tight ends. I can't believe there won't be an outstanding linebacker available. Running Back???? RUNNING BACK???? Why don't we draft a punter to back up Moorman!!!

We took Lynch when we had McGahee. And we took Spiller when we had Lynch AND Jackson. Soooo. Would it REALLY surprise you if we took another?
