Pete Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Releasing Ivory leads me to believe that the Bills will use a high draft pick on RB. That RB will help out Josh, and probably be the 3rd down back. My guess is Beane will wait and see which player slides to 9, if a high grade player is not available, he will trade down. And after trade down, all bets are off on first pick, and that very well could be RB. Could our first pick be Devin Singletary or Josh Jacobs? Where do you see the Bills drafting a RB? Whom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Me personally, I would like Benny Snell in the 4th round. He is a downhill runner that this offense needs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If by early you mean rounds 1 or 2, I'm not taking a RB. If you say Miles Sanders in the 3rd, I could live with that. If you say Rodney Anderson in the 4th or 5th, I can live with that too. I'm not spending a day one pick on a RB. Not gonna happen 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The earliest I would ever go RB is the 3rd round. This year I would have no problem if the Bills went RB in round 3. Singletary is my top target so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginiaMike Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'd love to see Bryce Love on this team. He wil slip to at least the 3rd round. I'd hold off and take a chance on catching him in round 4. He's coming off knee surgery so if he's not ready to start the season. that's OK because he can soak up alot of knowledge from Gore and Shady. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I see no scenario where we draft a RB in "early" rounds. We're all excited about the free agent acquisitions and we should be. However we're still void of disruptive top end talent and we need this draft to get that. I also can't imagine any correlation between Ivory's release and that means early RB. If anything Gore seems to suggest we'll groom a mid round pick or once we've built the team a bit more, look at one in the draft next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think there is much chance we will take a RB in round 1. I agree, all bets are off, but I just don't see any scenario where BPA on Beane's board with be a RB in the first round. So much DL, WR, TE, OL talent there when we trade down that I just don't see it. Especially after Jacobs ran so slow. Now had Jacobs ran fast, then I think it may have had a bit more possibility. But I do think we will take a guy in the first 4 rounds with rounds 3 or 4 being the most likely. I think Love, Henderson, Snell, Singletary, etc are all in play there. If Jacobs slips to the 2nd round though, then maybe Beane goes for RB earlier and takes him. But I think there are some other players in the 2nd that will be higher on the board like Ximines, Irv/Fant, Simmons, Tillery, several WR's, Risner and other OL guys that would make more sense with then us coming back and getting a RB with one of our next 3 picks overs round 3 and 4. TBH, I would be pretty surprised to see a RB taken before round 3. I wont be upset, just think this draft is deep in RB in rounds 3, 4, and even 5 this year. And just don't see enough separation in them to point at one and say he is a must get guy in rounds 1 or 2. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one they like isn't there, maybe they go with Shady and Gore and draft one next year. Continually. Shady is 31 and in last year of contract. Gore is 35 on a 1 year deal. It would behoove to Bills to add a future #1 RB now, and give them a year to grow with Josh(and learn from Shady and Gore). IMO the Bills select RB no later than round 3. If Oliver, Wilkins, Gary, Bosa, Allen, White, Hock are gone by 9, I am almost certain Bills trade down. And if Josh Jacobs of Singletary are available after trade down, I would not be surprised if first pick was RB.

Laughing Coffin Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 With Gore and McCoy there's no reason to bring in even a day 2 RB this year unless someone they really like is still sitting there in the 3rd.

hjnick Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Buffalo does need a RB, but not necessarily in the early rounds. Alex Barnes, Kansas State (disclaimer I am a KSU homer). Dude is a powerful running back that can catch out of the backfield. Can probably get him in the 5-7 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used in and is great at pass protection. Really not used in KY passing game as only 29 receptions in 3 years. Per scouting reports real questions if he can separate in passing game in pros and beat second level in running game given limited physical skills (bad 40 time, vertical at combine). Not an overly explosive player. See him being a late round (6 or 7) pickup at this point with bad combine and receiving skills being questioned. https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/benny-snell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaT Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I think there are going to be a lot of quality running backs and wide receivers available from the 4th or 5th round on. There will be a rush to take interior O linemen and edge rushers because there just arent that many of them. That will push categories that have numbers, like WR and RB, back. RB has been devalued some too and, other than Jacobs from Alabama, I dont see a big push for any of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Very respectfully to all I've believed for the last few years that you draft your starting RB when you need a new starting RB, because the thing is you don't have to groom a RB like you do with QB, WR, TE, or OL. If you get one in the later rounds and they take over the job, great. However, right now I am fine with Shady and Gore. I think combined they should be able to get 1,600-1,760 rushing yards for the season which should be fine (throw in another 400 + for Allen which is not unreasonable). If the combination of the two, and then somebody you get in the 4 round or beyond, doesn't work, then you have a priority to get a RB next year. I just don't believe you have to get the kid ready.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 None. Shady is the RB in 2019 and 2020. He will be extended before season starts when they see hiw good he looks behind new and improved line. There is no need go draft a rb this year. They need multiple defensive lineman, a TE or two, a LB or two, and probably still a WR. I would go so far as saying I would rather they take a QB in the mid rounds before a RB. If the line is significantly improved and Shady continues to regress (as some on this board believe ) then they can draft a RB early in 2020. RB is the easiest position to succeed instantly. I would change my mind and add a RB in the mid rounds if the get rid of DeMarco. They would then need to add a RB to carry at least 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
