Buffalo716 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) We all know the Bills need a Better RB to spell Shady. But should we acquire him in FA or the draft? This is a pretty deep RB class with good RBs through the first 3 maybe 4 rounds... I guy I would really have my eyes on would be Royce Freeman of Oregon. He is big (6ft 230lb) runs with good vision and patience and can be the bruiser we need in the run game He can block, and has decent hands as well so he is versatile spelling Shady he will be even more effective and would be a great compliment to our run game He is comfortable in a zone or power scheme as well id love to have him in the 3rd or 4th if he somehow fell (Discussion of Mid/Late round picks) Edited February 16, 2018 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Derrius Guice is the guy I want, watch a couple clips of him, tell me he won't be a good pro. He wouldn't just spell Shady, by the end of the year he would replace him entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I can’t help but think Jonathan Stewart. He’s alright. In a draft with some promising RBs he’s one of the last guys I want....but he does fit what we need. I just don’t want him to be our premier RB when shady is gone. I like him as shady compliment. Not our #1 or the guy that takes carries from the more talented back (a la Deangelo Williams and Stewart imo). I always thought Williams was the superior back.

Well obviously there are more talented backs. But I don't want to spend a 1st or 2nd on RB. He is a realistic 3rd-4th round pick 4 minutes ago, NewDayBills said: Derrius Guice is the guy I want, watch a couple clips of him, tell me he won't be a good pro.

He wouldn't just spell Shady, by the end of the year he would replace him entirely. But do you really want to spend a 1st or 2nd rd pick on a RB in a good RB class? I really like him too, as well as many backs in this draft. I would just prefer to draft one in rd 3 or later. If we trade up for a QB, I probably wouldn’t draft one at all. There will be someone sufficient in FA. In truth we have 2 pieces of our front 7 in place (Hughes and Milano). One has a big contract and could be dealt while the other is promising yet still unproven. The other 5 spots on the line need to be filled before we draft a backup RB 2 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: Well obviously there are more talented backs. But I don't want to spend a 1st or 2nd on RB.

FYI I always believed Williams was the better RB as well... the duo preserved his career definitely though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the board fell a certain way, I do think Guice would not disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a wasted pick if he's a stud. By the way I'm not advocating for or against him, I don't have enough knowledge on this year's draft class of RBs, nor am I comparing any to gurley. I'm better l just saying that a stud RB is very nice to have, and I don't think a 2nd rounder is a waste if he pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessYaDigg Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 we've always been fortunate to have a decent defense. we need an offense to score points. I wouldn't mind taking a QB in the first and a RB in the second 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, if the BPA is a RB who drastically outclasses the available position hole in the second, take the RB. Don't overreach for a hole-filling player .

Don't overreach for a hole-filling player . That's all I'm saying For sure. RBs are weird because there are dozens and dozens and dozens of very talented backs in the NFL. But a lot never get the chance to shine because they lack in the blocking/receiving element so they hardly see the field There are a lot of Kareem Hunts and Alvin Kamaras and Karlos Williams. Guys who can go round 3-4-5 and be very deadly in the right circumstances Any RB going in the top 2 rounds today is tremendously gifted.
