End The Drought Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 10 hours ago, DJB said: Why else would i make the statement that i did? Hes not great at catching the ball out of the backfield either and that's an issue being a smaller back He certainly isn't getting picked in the first 3 rounds Just curious what you consider watching tape. YouTube highlights? Tuning into Stanford games? He certainly has durability issues and that’s my biggest concern. To me he is comparable to Dion Lewis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 17 hours ago, LABILLBACKER said: Love didn't play even close to what McC accomplished in college. 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...
Mountain Man Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Myles Gaskine for me. He just looks a NFL running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty disappointed with Jacobs tape, He could turn out to be a Lynch type though. I do like this kid though. I also like Singletary and Jalin Moore. no reason not to get Love and Singletary. Late round picks. I wonder who the UDFA RB surprise is this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like people bounce off him. Good balance. 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. But his tape in college reminds me a bit of Doug Martin back when he played for Boise State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to wager a bet where he goes in the draft ? Bryce love had 250 receiving yards and averaged 16.7 ypc as a true freshmen. Dion lewis’ season high at Pitt was 216. Love is coming off a torn ACL in his last college game. Likely won’t be ready for training camp like he said he would be in his combine interview. Day 3 pick.

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.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 But he didn't play as much as 19 hours ago, billspro said: I would love to have him, he played just as well as McCaffery imo. But he didn't play as much as McCaffery because of injuries. Also, McCaffery caught a lot more passes and is a bigger back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan1988 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 19 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Bills met with him today (the only RB we know of)... which may be meaningless but it’s got people talking that he may be a good choice because he can “redshirt” behind Shady (tore his ACL late in the year). I actually have never wanted to draft him. He’s referring to Shady ... I would love him in the 6th or 7th rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. This is not meant to be an endorsement of McGahee's character ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. But if he's there when they do, I would have no problem whatsoever drafting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Before he was hurt, had had fallen off this year from last, but he showed me enough last year to take a flyer on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
