eball Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 TJ Logan 2016: 149 touches for 894 and 10 TDs (120/650/7 rushing as the 2nd RB, 29/244/3 receiving) Fastest RB at the combine. Also returns KOs (2 TDs last year, 5 for college career). This guy is going to be an excellent pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Here's my narrowed down list if I had any say: 116. (5.5) Marlon Mack, RB, USF, 5-11, 215, 4.50 40 125. (5.6) Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma, 5-11, 235, 4.65 - Pro Day 160. (5.4) Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming, 6-1, 220, 4.54 180. (5.4) Matthew Dayes, RB, NC State, 5-9, 205, 4.66 203. (5.0) Elijah McGuire, RB, Lafayette, 5-10, 215, 4.53 279. (5.4) Joe Williams, RB, Utah, 5-11, 210, 4.41 I like Brian Hill. This is going to be a terrible way to put it but he looked like a pro back in the 2 games that I saw last year.

CommonCents Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 LOL Tolbert was not signed to tote the rock. He was signed to be a "McD" guy in the locker room, and he's tough as nails. Dimarco wasn't enough of a leader in that backfield? That's all I hear about, he is a great team guy. They also needed Tolbert for that? Hah... Turn off the blinders if Tolbert makes this roster that means they are occupying 1/53 with a less talented player than they could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I decided to add to my endorsement of James Conner here, rather than start a LAMP thread. The more I hear about Conner's back story and watch his highlights, the more I am convinced he would be an ideal change of pace back to LeSean McCoy. I really hope that he is available when we get to one of our 5th round picks and we pull the trigger. I would LOVE to see him in a Bills uniform and think he would be a more than suitable replacement to Gilislee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Supposedly the deepest running back class in 20 years combined with the worst offensive lineman class in 20 years...so there were a lot of good backs with nobody to block for them, lol Edited April 25, 2017 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Take this one: D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas That's my pick from the list. Put up big numbers in college and his testing numbers (4.45 at 233 lbs) are great. Honestly surprised there's not more support for him in here.

Success Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Even without Gillislee we don't need to draft a RB. We have Shady, Williams and Tolbert. How many touches are there to go around? Don't waste a pick, just sign a Udfa incase of injuries or to fill out the preseason and camp Exactly this. I won't be surprised at all if they don't draft a rb.

Wagon Circler Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Tarik Cohen! Black kid. Jewish name. All of 5'6". Faster than a fighter jet. If you could get Darren Sproles out of college in the 5th round, would you do it? this kid is a home run hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 i think there is a Conner thread ... it doesn't have Conner in the thread title though Pat Elflein! True. When the Pats signed TD Mike to the offer sheet, I started a thread titled "If the Bills lose Touchdown Mike...." and then made the case for drafting Conner. I think he'd be great value in the 4th or later as most sites have slotted him. At some point the Mods closed all threads that mentioned Gillislee in the title other than the one with 100+ pages. This has to be an NFL message board record for pages devoted to a backup RB, btw. I think Conner is a special player that remarkable things in his Pitt career. He will be a good pro, imo. A called him a 233 lb. Robb Riddick, who is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a good to great line he will look awesome. i go back and forth on him. I don't watch a lot of B12 but his stats are eye popping. I read his scouting reports and seems he has some limitations ..for those who bow down to Pats scouting they supposedly love him, BB flew down to Austin to work him out personally. I certainly wouldn't be displeased if he became a Bill. But, I like a lot of the RBs in this draft. Edited April 26, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwball Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Sad but inspiring story on Foreman. Speaking exclusively to NFL Network's Andrea Kremer on NFL Total Access, Foreman revealed publicly for the first time the deep pain he felt after the death of his infant son and how his short life ultimately inspired the running back to have a remarkable junior season with the Texas Longhorns. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000802065/article/donta-foreman-reveals-the-pain-of-dealing-with-his-sons-death VIdeo - https://mobile.twitter.com/NFL/status/856657599948767232/video/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a solid committee back that can catch and pass protect. Athletically limited in a great class but I can't help but hope the guy does something in the league.

I just see slow feet. I'm routing for the kid but think that we'd be better off elsewhere. There is a difference between 2014 and post chemo 2016 tape, imo. The Clemson game last year was closer to full recovery. He claimed in has letter that he was @ 18% body fat to start last year and is at 7% now. Robb Riddick had a couple of great seaons as a 3rd down shotgun back and short yardage/goal line specialist. He had a punishing running style that agressively struck would be tacklers. He was probably closer to 200 lbs. I see Conner as being great in that role but @ 233 lbs.. I would bet he shows well as a blocker in much of the Peterman highlight tape.
