Don't be surprised if Josh Jacobs is the first round target for McBeane.

I HATE that I am on the Kareem Hunt train but I think I’m there at this point. He won’t be expensive, is productive, young, versatile and presumably hungry. Hopefully he learned his lesson. I’m hoping that they sign him (ducks for cover)

 

Nah man, don't be ashamed of it.  We're a team totally void of offensive players that can change the game.  If one becomes available we should always be interested.

They took one in the first last year

The Pats took a back with the 31st pick in the draft. I would have no problem if the Bills traded down or traded up from a lower round to select a back near the bottom of the first round. I'm just not receptive to using a top ten pick on a back this year. If this was a more complete team I would be more receptive to the notion. But not this year with the way our roster is currently set.

Duck all you want. You buy low and you sell high. He'd immediately upgrade our offense and would come at a fraction of the price of a LeVeon Bell. 

 

We're talking about drafting a RB in the first round! You get a first/second round talent without entertaining the notion of using a top ten pick when the draft is loaded with pass rushers.

He is also a kid still, people make mistakes.  What is he going to do about it is my question.

I generally hate 1st round RBs. But I'd make an exception for Jacobs IF we trade down. Great attitude and love for the game, excellent blocking running and pass catching, and low mileage since he wasn't a feature back at Alabama. Our best Super Bowl window is on Allen's rookie deal so I would accept drafting a young RB in the 1st to give us some kind of rush offense for the next 4 years. I still wouldn't take any RB in the top 10 but if we trade down to 15 and draft him I'd accept that.

Kirby thinks I'm pigheaded on this issue. I'm not. I would have no problem taking an elite back after a trade down and getting some additional picks. However, I am steadfast against using a top ten pick in this draft for a back.

I really do wonder if they will make a play for Bell or Hunt if they cant get the OL they want in FA.  We would have one hell of a 1,2 punch or a punch and a kick if its Hunt.

Joking about women being abused is not funny

Is it abuse just because shes a woman.  Are you saying if it was a man it would be ok.  It was about his action not about it being a woman.

So the action of hitting a woman is ok to joke about. Your a class act dude. What great character you have shown, or lack thereof.

I'll put money on hom being here next season.  If I need a guy right awayI spend a first.  Otherwise I take one later, unless there is a Barkley or McCaffrey

He could be. DJ has him as the highest rated offensive weapon in the draft. I cant fathom why we don’t need that.

Nothing to do with a woman sorry if you took it that way i was saying that he kicked a person.  Stop trying to twist what I said to make yourself look like a better person.  Stop trying to say that I said something that I didnt or that I condone such behavior.  Because I do not.  

I am not PC and never will be.  I am a vulgar maintenance Tech and construction worker and I could care less what you think.

If you can manage a couple new OLine starters in FA, this sounds a lot less crazy. Maybe get another OL or 2 later in the draft....new ballgame.

Those draft experts are a joke.  The only one that I put any stock in is now GM of the Raiders. (Dont know if I put that much stock in him but OK)

Jacobs-Josh.jpg

Josh Jacobs, RB

 

 

School: Alabama | Year: Junior 
Jacobs is one of my favorite players to study in this draft class. He has a thick, compact build and I love his combination of power, elusiveness and versatility. In the run game, he possesses excellent vision, burst and wiggle. His change-of-direction quickness is off the charts. He runs low to the ground and powers through tacklers in every game I studied. Jacobs has the speed to get to the perimeter -- he's a weapon when lined up as a QB in the Wildcat and when he's used on fly sweeps from the slot. In the passing game, Jacobs runs crisp routes, possesses natural hands and he's a make-you-miss specialist in space. He does need to improve in pass protection. He must come to balance as a blocker and avoid lunging at blitzers. Overall, Jacobs is a special talent and his light workload at Alabama (251 carries in three seasons) should be viewed as a positive, not a negative.

They are definitely upgrading the OL.  I still think they go the FA route.  They want proven guys protecting their franchise QB.  At least that's what I would do.  Get a proven vet C, RG, and RT.  Then they can trully go BPA or go after a game changing offensive weapon.

It’s a lot easier to sign a lineman in FA to the  Bills than it is  premium offensive  playmaker to the 31st ranked offense. Need to draft the top talent in our situation.

Rex Ryan isnt a HC anymore why?  There is an old saying "those who can do, those who cant, teach".  In this case I would say "those who can work in a front office those who cant, work for a network".
