Flip Johnson Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 For a mid-round pick I am all in. If his speed/explosiveness come all the way back he is a game-breaking athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I watched a few of his games last season. He looked sluggish. Lot of negative rushes. Late round flyer, didn't look like a top 4 round pick to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The author used "articulated" incorrectly as it is an adjective. Other meaning is "connected by joints" which seems relevant given injury. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 My issue with him is he's probably too small to be a feature back and he hasn't really shown anything as a receiver, so best case scenario, what are you really getting with him? Seems like he's at best a change-of-pace guy unless he suddenly turns into a receiver, but you can get a much better receiving back late on Day 3 or off the trash heap in free agency.

He's a nice rb with some injury issues who would be a good value pick in the 5th round. No earlier! Really? He averaged over 7 ypc in his first three seasons and had a 2000 yard rushing season. He didn’t look quite as good this past season but there was probably an underlying injury. It was definitely debatable who was the better back when they were in the same backfield. I watched them both dominate the PAC 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would have been a 1st rounder or close to it had he declared last year. im just scared off by the injury but also - and I’m not saying this is a BAD thing - but he really wants to be a doctor and the buzz was that was a bigger priority to him than football. Now that could be BS but it scares to invest any decent pick into him from both a short term and long term perspective. I take him. He can stay in the Buffalo area and go to Med School and work out in the off season. I think there have been other football players that have Med or Law degrees. His 2017 season was ridiculous. Then he got injured. I think he is very dedicated to both football and being a future Dr. If he was "just playing football," and not "dedicated" his 2017 season does not happen. And really, 4.5 yards in 2018 is not bad. Edited March 1, 2019 by RyanC883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his production dropped off a bit this season and I haven't paid close enough attention to Wake Forest to know why, but that's a potential red flag with him and I think it's probably pushed him down to UDFA status.

FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'll take a flier on him in the 5th and let him RS his first season. He was a Top 50 pick last year. He would've been taken in the first two rounds this year. That doesn't really chance because of the injury. Great locker room kid too. Worth a punt.

I don't entirely disagree with you but I'd roll the dice on him late day 2 or early day 3. The guy was a clear 1st rounder before the injury. We've seen top tier RB's perform well for the Bills who we drafted after a college ACL tear. Thurman and McGahee both went on to long and productive careers.

yungmack Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 IF (the big if) he's fully recovered and returned to form, he'll be long gone before the Bills turn their attention to the RB position.

ROCBillsBeliever Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 22 hours ago, Aussie Joe said: The RB class looks pretty good this year so I would look to be picking up somebody else early-mid Day 3.... Given his injury status, I would only consider Love in the 7th and probably not even then..... Part of me agrees. Another part of me thinks back to last year's draft, when people all balked at Sony Michel's "bone-on-bone" knees. And he dropped... to the Cheats. And just how did that work out for Bellicheat? Pretty damn well. Rings talk, and Michel was a big part of their late-season ground-and-pound that ate clock while Mahomes and Goff rode the pine, waiting to see the field. I'm just saying, Bryce Love's injury might drop him, but his Jr year, he was sheer magic. Might be worth a 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm interested in him in the 4th round, maybe late 3rd. Hopefully he'll last that long.
