buffaloboyinATL Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Sounds like Adrian Peterson Will be signing with the Saints for $3 million this year. So Gilislee signed with the Pats* for more, crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Because getting a 8td rb on 100 touches is so common? Shady gets hurt this team is done. Ok. Take 2 of the 3 5th rounders and trade up for a 4th and target Peterman. That's exactly what I would do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Jay SkurskiVerified account @JaySkurskiFollowing More If the #Bills use 3 of their 7 picks on WR/CB/RB ... they'll basically be hoping to land Gilmore, Woods and Gillislee. #spinningtheirwheels I see two possible replacements already on the roster for three of those positions. Jonathan Williams to replace Gillislee. Andre Holmes will not be buried on the depth chart here like he was in Oakland, so I can see him replacing Woods production. Gilmore, is a good corner but wasn't physical enough and did not have the willingness to tackle that McDermott requires. So we will see how that plays out. I know the Bills do not have much luck when it comes to hopeful draft picks panning out but you never know.

MPT Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Imagine a late 1st, two second rd picks and three 3rd round picks. It's possible.... we may not have those three 5ths when it's said and done but we may be able to deal for 5 or 6 picks in first 3 rounds We have far too many glaring holes in our roster to consolidate that many picks, unfortunately.

dubs Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 "Not that big of a difference" couldn't be more wrong. This was just a tweet from the average fan. Ok, I can't believe i am spending so much time on this, but here goes. Let's assume that JWill replicates his YPC average from 2016 (probably unlikely given he's going to be a year further from his injury and in his sophomore year). Then let's assume he get's the same amount of carries that MG got last year. The different in yards would be about 200 yards over the course of the year. Spread that out over 16 games and it's 13 yards a game less that we get from the RB position with JWill, assuming worst case scenario (that JWill doesn't progress at all and MG would have stayed the same). You're going to say, what about TDs. I would submit that TDs are more of a fantasy football metric in terms of player evaluation. In other words, if JWill is put in on the goal line, he gets some TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really feels like the spinning the wheels number of folks on this board and in general are growing year by year. We just plug the holes from our FA loses and never improve the critical positions. We are so short-term oriented and have zero long-term planning. It's just shameful and I am really hoping for something out of character for us this draft....

JM2009 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 yes, but for less money. That's how the NFL works in the salary cap era. Hoping is the key word here. Plus this roster has many more needs than those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have to hit on more players in a single draft than we have in the last four years to make that a reality. that said, not my favorite situation. Ditto.

Boatdrinks Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 one might think it helps theres though. Won't affect the Pats SB ambitions one bit. They ain't getting there or not based on who the backup RB is. Probably not even based on who the starting RB is for that team. And no team has hurt the Pats SB ambitions over the years less than the Bills. To think retaining MG would make a damnbit of difference in that dept is crazy.

dpberr Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If anything, the signing of MG will show whether analytics is real or fake news. Based on all the articles I've read on their offer, Pats went after MG based on the recommendation from their stats department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Moulds on my A** Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The Bills saw Gilly as a change of pace back. Not a workhorse. In the play I have seen from him I agree. They must realize, like 99% of draftniks, that this is a RB loaded draft. It goes without saying that Shady is getting up there and if Gilly can't be that guy, move on. Pats take Gilly, we draft our replacement and future workhorse this year when it now makes sense. It became a need at a time when a surplus of young, cheap talent will be found surprisingly late in this draft. I'm good with this move. All of this for a guy we picked up for diddly$$. Seems like a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
