Buffalo03 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I know it's way to early to be talking about the draft for next year but considering we will have to wait until next year to improve our offense anyway, which player would you rather have? Bryce Love could be Shady's replacement or Anthony Johnson could be that receiver that this team so desperately needs and he's right in our own back yard. I would go with Johnson personally. We need offensive playmakers with that first round pick next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Bryce Love is focused on becoming a doctor. Not even sure he wants to play football. Anthony Johnson for sure. Edited October 9, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Love me some Bryce love but his ankles look to be toasted. I don’t think I’d spend a 1st on him. Then again, so did Steph Curry’s ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch all of the Stanford games and Love does have that burst to break long runs but I'm not sure he'd be as effective in the NFL. He's small and has really been bottled up this year. McCaffrey is from the same system and I believe is faster and he doesn't break the long ones much in the NFL. Anthony Johnson definitely reminds me of Eric Moulds and would be a big help to the Bills. Edited October 9, 2018 by LittleJoeCartwright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Love is a lower leg injury waiting to happen. He also disappears at times imo. I haven't really looked that deep into the upcoming RB class yet to form an opinion. I know I like Weber from Ohio St., Dexter Williams @ ND, and the Penn St. RB Miles Sanders.

LABILLBACKER Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 We can get RBS later, go out and get Brown & Lamb from Oklahoma. We need many, many wrs. Wr's, remember those guys who can catch balls from your qb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 How about neither? Neither guy is a 1st round pick IMO and there’s better options in the 2nd and 3rd round too. Between the two, I’d take Love, but I’m not really sold on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think either are 1st rounders fwiw. AJ is projected 2nd-3rd. I would take him in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessYaDigg Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 We usually do pretty well with every running back that we acquire. Let's face it, we're desperate for WR help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 There's one RB in the NFL worthy of a first round pick and that's Gurley. If I'm a GM, I'm never taking one in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The Bills haven’t drafted a RB in 2 years. Like in any round. I don’t think they will be going near one until day 3. I think they may sign one in FA (Tevin Coleman please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) I realize that my initial comment wasn't very specific... A few of the RBs and WRs that I have my eye on right now: WRs: N'Keal Harry - Still early, but I have him as the #1 WR in the draft class at the moment. Kelvin Harmon - Good combination of route running and hands. Probably a first round pick, maybe top 15 Collin Johnson - Might be what Kelvin Benjamin should have been for us. I'd guess he's valued around the 2nd or 3rd round for now, maybe higher if he has a good Combine. Olamide Zaccheus - Sometimes listed as a RB...he's explosive as hell however you want to use him. If Buffalo liked Ray-Ray, they'll like this guy too. Probably a Day 3 pick if I had to guess but I'm keeping an eye on him. Tyre Brady - Always stood out to me when I was watching Chase Litton tape. Seems to be a Day 3/UDFA guy at the moment but I think he's undervalued. RBs: Damien Harris - Media views him as the #1 RB prospect in the draft this year, and given his connection to Daboll and his natural fit for where I think this offense is going, I think this is a serious possibility, especially if Buffalo trades McCoy. Strong runner, good vision/patience, willing pass blocker, good hands out of the backfield; the main flaw is that he looks pretty slow, not really elusive, and while he always falls forward, he doesn't seem to really run through people and keep going. Matt Colburn II - I'd guess he's on the Day 3 radar right now, but he kinda reminds me of Doug Martin coming out of Boise State. Just seems like a good all-around RB to me. Darrell Henderson - Absolutely tearing the country up right now; basically this year's Bryce Love while also bringing some pass-catching ability to the fold. Probably a Day 2 pick. Karan Higdon - I think he might be the best RB in the class. Explosive, agile, and feisty as hell. My two complaints are that he has a smallish frame (School lists him at 5'10" 202 lbs, but I've seen him listed at 5'9" 190 elsewhere and he looks pretty small) and he hasn't had much of an opportunity as a receiver.

What does selecting a RB in the 4th or later have to do with modern football? The best offenses in the league all drafted one in the 3rd or earlier in the last 3 years. The Bills haven’t drafted one at all in the last 2 years and haven’t drafted one before the 5th in 3 years... in fact they’ve only drafted 3 RBs total in the last 8 years.
