26CornerBlitz Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nice. Good choice as the #2 RB. He complements Shady very well as a power back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Bills are killing it in free agency so far! They've had 2 players in for a visit, both of whom went on to visit multiple other teams and both still picked us! I am not used to this. Neither factor into the comp pick formula either.

Art in PNS Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 1 minute ago, whatdrought said: I wonder if this means we won't draft someone to be the future. I think it's positioning them for a what if. Deep draft for Running backs so if they keep all of the picks I think they go RB in 3rd or 4th. If they trade up they need some bodies, since they won't have picks to fill the holes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will, but it will be a developmental guy in the 4th or the 5th. RB injuries are so common, you would like to have 4 guys who can play.

YoloinOhio Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 2 minutes ago, whatdrought said: I wonder if this means we won't draft someone to be the future. Highly doubt it means that. He’s just replacing Tolbert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 It's legitimately shocking to see moves made by the bills at this time of the year. Between these little things and the fact that for the first time we started winning with trades, I am all in for Beane and Co. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're really playing the comp pick game. It makes me think we are looking to trade up and hope that our future comp picks soften the blow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB injuries are so common, you would like to have 4 guys who can play. I'd be fine with a scat-back type guy. I was thinking for a while that I wanted them to draft the "future" in the 2nd to 3rd, but the more I think about it, the more I realize RB is pretty much the one position where you don't have to draft ahead as there is little adjustment period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about upgrading Mike Tolbert it's about getting better. I'd rather see Cadet get 3rd down snaps than Ivory. He isn't dependable with the football in has hands.

BillsfanAZ Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Ivory will be a solid back for McCoy. He can catch the ball out the back field and can start if McCoy gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, the introduction of Fournette replaced the need for a pounding sub back and instead Yeldon (who I believe is a bit shiftier) got the nod. Just a thought.
