Cheektowaga Chad Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 could possibly get him cheap with the draft coming up. Probably wants to get on a roster before a team just drafts an Rb in the mid rounds instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice_32 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 This could indicate they are considering an offer for Clark or Clowney. Beane may have had a 4th or 5th round picked pegged for RB. Now maybe that spot goes to Yeldon because that pick is part of a package? Man the draft needs to hurry up and get here. My head hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansLanda Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 1 hour ago, GreggTX said: I doubt we'll have a top 12 passing offense and right now our top 2 RB's are over 30. I definitely think our 3rd RB could get a lot of snaps. Also, our OL is average. There is not a single probowl caliber player there. Still, that's a big improvement. No one knows any of the above as of April 16th, 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, this, inexplicably, has been one of the most important need areas not yet addressed. So, while late in the game, could be a key pick-up. Shoot, at 25, who knows what this guy could do on a good offense. I just assumed they were done adding RB's in FA and were going to draft one, to see how Shady and Gore do this season and take over for them next year. Now I don't think they're going to take one.

I think he is an interesting guy who could thrive in Daboll's offense, as the James White type. I dunno. I'm good with it. He's better than anything in the draft this year not named Jacobs. Lol, no he’s not. He should have gone undrafted coming out of college. He would be ranked somewhere around 10-ish(for RBs) on my board this year. Yeldon only got drafted high because he ran behind a GREAT line in college. Even a UDFA has a better shot of making an impact on our roster than Yeldon.

MJS Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 3 hours ago, Mister Defense said: Just a hunch? Really think the Bills can risk their season on a pipe dream? No sign of life in him last year, consistently. Obviously I hope you are right, but nothing to go on here other than his career stats--not 2018. The Bills cannot take that chance, should not. In the Super Bowl years the Bills almost always cut ties with players when they were done--sign of a good team. And you expect a RB that's sitting on his couch a week before the draft to help the team significantly? If the Bills don't believe in McCoy anymore, they should be drafting his replacement.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that he has talent. Sure he isn't the best runner, but he isn't bad. Add the fact he is a very solid catcher and this would be a great pick up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want one in the early rounds, and all conventional wisdom is saying that won't happen. I am not of the mindset that good/great running backs are a dime a dozen, easy to find late in the draft, and think a young high quality running back could end up being the missing piece this year if the Bills are not careful. I want Yeldon as I don't have confidence the Bills are looking at a running back early in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Sign him. He was the #2 rb coming out of high school. He's big, strong, fast. Years younger than Shady and Frank Gore. Knows the league. If he makes the team, that would be great. If not, cut him and move on. Why not? They wouldn't bring him in if he wasn't a serious prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 He's clearly not an every down bell cow but he has value especially with our geriatric backfield. Plus the cost will be minimal. His signing would not prevent us from drafting a RB in round 3 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeldon has never played a special-teams snap in his NFL career. Grant played 156 last season, and he broke a 58-yard run out of punt formation in Jacksonville's victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Yeldon ..and hasn't going back to '17. healthy he is a hell of a versatile back. hope they can work something out and he doesn't end up with the patsies**? i didtn get what the other poster was thinking..Yeldon is probably not going to play ST. I get the Skipper connection..and the Bills can afford him.But what kind of opportunity is it for him? Bills have RB depth and I assume they will get what they can out of McCoy and Gore for one year. Would Yeldon be looking for a multi-year deal, accept he wont play much in 2019,and perhaps have inside track for the starting job 2020? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
