I can get on board with drafting a WR in the 1st rd way before a RB. Either way Trade back, O-line is the way to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 1 hour ago, NewEra said: I guess that’s the difference. I’m not a big fan of a lot of those DL at 9. I’d be happy with Oliver, Bosa and Allen. Not a big fan of anyone else at 9. Trade down. At that point, there’s a chance that jacobs is BPA. I agree with you in the respect that there are a few positions I wouldn’t want to draft in the first rd (LB, S, QB) regardless of BPA. RB is usually on that list based on the ability to grab one later in the draft, but I just think Jacobs is that much better than all the other RBs. Jmo, of course I think a trade down in the first round is quite possible. A qb or 2 will most likely shoot up the board creating a possible trade scenario. If they do trade down, almost anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be completely wrong though. Seeing as Beane said he will go BPA and you never draft for need or overdraft a player I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Folks, a little perspective here..... Are all of you aware that Josh was never established as the starting running back at Alabama? He was never the strongest running back on the Tide and while he is quick, he isn't a speed back. Josh is very good and quite versatile. He has great hands, blocks well, and is a smart kid and a smart player. Saban loves the kid. That said, I am not even sure if he will be better than Damien Harris. He can be if he continues to improve and his first step is a bit quicker, but Damien reminds me a bit of Thurman in terms of seeing holes to run through. He is no slouch. As a life long Alabama Fan, I would welcome Josh to the team. He had an extremely tough life but seems to maintain a great, positive attitude. I have no doubt that he would be quite useful to Allen, but; I don't think that the Bills should use a #9 on him. Disclaimer: I am not pretending to be a scout. I am just a fan who has seen every Alabama game for many years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 there is a zero % chance of this happening zero! If there was a less than zero % chance, it would be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The Sammy Watkins experiment is still too recent for Buffalo to draft a WR in the 1st round. Especially considering the lack of an obvious generational talent. And I would like to think that we learned our lesson from last preseason that the OL needs to be a priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So therefore your argument of saying the NFL community loves Jacobs as a counter to me not supporting Jacobs as the Bills round 1 pick is a bit of a terrible argument then......

I see your point wrt the Spiller comparison, I really do, but; I would take Jacobs over Spiller ANY day!!! Even for the Bills, the Spiller pick was so stupid that it was mind boggling. As for Jacobs, imo he is a 2nd or 3rd round pick. He is a much better and stronger player than Spiller ever was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I know next to nothing about college ball other than the bulls so I rely on you guys. Just seems like Jacobs isnt close to the #1 RB, at a de-valued position we dont need so I got nervous for a min 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a skill set that you are looking for. The reason that scouts love Jacobs (Daniel Jeremiah’s top overall offensive player) is the combination of balance, receiving, effort, and tackle breaking ability. He has a skill set that translates to a 3 down back. He’s going to be a great pro and go way earlier than people many have thought (as he is a guy rising now). I don’t think he’s the Bills pick at 9 but I’ve seen him mocked as high as 5 to the Bucs. Edited January 25, 2019 by Kirby Jackson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
