Still of the mindset that a first round RB for a team with as many needs as the Bills have is stupidity.... find it hard to believe that a RB will be BPA when Bills pick. Don’t forget that the Panthers took Williams, Stewart and McCaffrey in round 1. Whether it’s a good idea or not is different than it being a possibility. It is certainly possible. 15 minutes ago, Mark80 said: Are we really talking about drafting a guy who was only the third leading rusher on his college team (and worse YPC than the other 2 as well) in the first round? Really? Seriously? I don't care how good he supposedly is, if he was that good he would have led his team in rushing or at worst be a close second. I mean, this is no Thurman and Barry situation. Not necessarily true, it’s a skill set that you are looking for not stats. Look no further than our own Josh Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianb386 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think Daboll's input would be valued if they were trying to choose between a guy he knows and another player he does not. I don't believe he has enough clout to influence them to pick a running back in rd 1 when I don't believe they would otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Jacobs sure looks like a beast. An elite RB could take a lot of pressure off Allen. I would love to see him in a Bills uniform. However, I would only want to see this if Jacobs was taken after 1st taking an OT in a trade down and then moving back into the 1st to get Jacobs and also adding a FA center, a FA right guard, and possibly a FA right tackle. This team will be crap and Josh Allen won't last without a top OL. Edited January 23, 2019 by PIZ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills need to address the Oline in free agency or the draft before thinking about RB. they can do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He better be a very very good pass catching back. Still, would much rather sign Leveon Bell to a huge contract than draft a RB I’m tbe 1st. I thought Barkley should have gone #1 to Cleveland and then they take a QB at #4. Barkley is special , at 9 would have been a steal. Giants totally did the right thing getting him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPbillsfan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 As long as we sign RT Darryl Williams, C Matt Paradies, and a guard such as Ramon Foster or others, a TE and a WR along with resigning Jordan Phillips and maybe Jordan Mills, could we even consider a RB in the first round. No matter how good a RB is he would have no chance behind the sorry a** line we put on the field last year. It would be like spraying 500 an oz perfume on a full septic tank. Even if we sign all the above I don't think he is the BPA with the 9th or whatever pick we have after any trades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the free agent QB's on the horizon, if there is a good one, I'm sure the Giants would be an attractive destination. Just thought Barkley was someone not to pass up. I may be wrong, but he's special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only mention this because of how upset people will be around here if the Bills make RB a first round priority. We shall see, as we still have the whole draft process to go thru. If Jacobs is BPA they will but there are some pretty good Defenders at the top of this draft. 1 hour ago, Brianmoorman4jesus said: The only thing that would bother me is a defensive player.

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don’t believe this will happen, but IF it did, it would mean they are so excited about him, they are willing to overlook critical needs elsewhere. If nothing else, it would get me excited about the player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm just praying a good QB is there when we pick at 9, and some team is desperate to get them and we get a trade back and another 2nd rounder + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I would pretty much NEVER take a RB in the first round, let alone top 10. Short careers and more interchangeable than other positions. Phillip Lindsay was damn near as good as Saquon Barkley. Top 3 backs in the league are Gurley, Zeke, and Barkley. McCaffrey is great but wouldn't call him a RB. I'd MAYBE take one of these guys in the top 10. Unless you think Jacobs is going to be a SUPERSTAR, there's no way you consider him at 9. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
