Rc2catch Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This is exactly the type of player they need. Versatile and young and signed up a couple more years. Someone called him a dime a dozen type running back but that’s absurd. Not many people watch the Browns so I get it cause you read his stat line. However I have sadly watched those browns the last couple years and duke is very very underutilized. He’s not an every down back and he’s not paid like one. He will make some plays every single game though if he’s given a chance. 2 years ago Cleveland was a total joke and lost big every game. Hue didn’t even use Johnson much and he did pack on a lot of garbage time stats. This season Chubb exploded and once again duke was left out of the game plans. He is absolutely worth a later round pick and would be a huge get here for buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really good backs in the draft. So I would do it for a 5th but not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t expect a 6th round running back to be any better than DJ as a player. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's anyone's guess what they were discussing, but Duke Johnson seems like a logical conclusion. Remember that Daboll's primary offensive background was New England, where a versatile pass-catching back is often a big part of the attack. 1 hour ago, Rc2catch said: This is exactly the type of player they need.

With Chubb, Hunt, and Johnson the odd man out some team is gonna get a good back at a good deal. Edited March 5, 2019 by Turk71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burned twice by trading for a WR, shame on Bills. You do realize that he is a rb, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 8 hours ago, thenorthremembers said: I'd be ok with it if they can get him for a 5th. He is still relatively young, and doesnt have a lot of miles on the wheels. I've always kind of wondered why he was so underused as a runner though. Then again, may want to explore Tevin Coleman in free agency first. Yeah, a fifth would be a decent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The guy averaged 4.3 ypc in four years with the Browns. He's averaged 58 catches a year and before they got Manziel his QB's were Cody Kessler, Johnny Football, Josh McCown, Austin Davis, RG3, DeShone Kizer, and Tyrod Taylor. A running back like this isn't a dime a dozen. Whoever gets him for that contract will be fortunate. He's worth a 4th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I’ll pass...(again) Let this scouting team identify a Day 3 RB and let them pick him up for 4 years on the cheap.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) The only RB worth getting was Kareem Hunt, we didn't even need to give up assets to sign him. There are a million Duke Johnson type backs, we can do way better than Duke Johnson imo. Edited March 5, 2019 by BuffaloBillsGospel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
