njbuff Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 With Daboll as OC and with him knowing Jacobs and the all around talent that Jacobs is.................... this might very well be the target of this organization come the first round of April's draft. 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. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This staff just strikes me as not being the type to draft a RB that high. I could be completely wrong though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I too think it’s a possibility (and people will lose their minds). The scouting community LOVES Jacobs. The Bills are clearly drafting BPA (whenever they pick). It is absolutely possible. I still think it’s a defensive player but they certainly aren’t crossing anyone off at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Im currently enamored with that Henderson kid from Memphis. Take him in the 3rd/4th instead. Jacobs is good but not 1st round good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that would keep from thinking they're going to spend a 1st round pick on a running back is the degree to which they have made it clear that McCoy and Ivory are a big part of the Bills' plans going forward. If McCoy gets traded away, then sure. As things stand now, though? It doesn't seem like a very smart use of resources. If I was betting money on what position our 1st round pick will play, I'd bet that it's somewhere along the defensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the Spiller pick was more that he wasn't as good as they thought he was - not because they already had Lynch (whom they had grown very tired of). I see it more as a missed evaluation rather than a logical flaw. Every team misses on some picks - even high ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually would be surprised. McD has yet to use a single draft asset on a RB in two drafts. Not even a 7th rounder. Not even the free 5th they got for TD Mike. Every year I hope it changes. I actually would like a high pick spent on one. But I would be very surprised if it happened. They don’t seem to value rookie RBs. I could see a FA pickup, that seems to be the pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Even the best RB's cannot run through closed doors. The Bills need to address the Oline in free agency or the draft before thinking about RB. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaT Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't know why but I've had that feeling also. I'm not in favor of drafting running backs early. He'd best be really really good (and versatile). I'd really prefer someone (or 4) to block for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I love Josh J as a prospect but I would literally lose my $#/t if he was chosen #9 overall. Now if we trade down I can see it mid 2nd, but 9th overall? No way! I think they’ll get someone in the later rounds or FA and see what Shady can do with a revamped OL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCbillsfan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 i believe this would be the least popular choice position wise other than qb in the first round. any other position i believe you could make a case.

CommonCents Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This thread should be merged with the one that talks about at which moment we knew the staff was just another failure. That’s all this pick would do. I think they will build the trenches and add a few skill players when the board makes sense for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 At this point, for this team, I’m not even sure I would take Saquon Barkley at 9. No offensive line yet. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't follow college ball so know nothing about him. I don't think they'll go RB and don't want them to (I want OL and WR, in that order depending on what they do in FA) but if they do go RB I hope he's good out of the backfield. It'd be good to give Allen another safety valve to go along with a new TE. Imagine what it might do to shut up all the crap about completion percentage we have to listen to every day!

LABILLBACKER Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Drafting a RB @ 9 would be reckless and stupid. Drafting a wr like Brown or Harry would come with risk. The wisest move would be taking the best OL/DL player. As others have said the trenches need to be upgraded. Maybe a dynamic wr falls to 2nd round? No more Watkins type picks again.

Mark80 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) 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.
