Draft another guy somewheres in the draft and we're cooking. Decent backfield with a minimal amount invested. I know I'll catch flak for saying that about Shady but look man it frees up a lot of cap and he's as old as dirt. Leonard Fournette, Yeldon and Gore would be beyond spectacular. You do realize that Frank Gore is 5 years OLDER than Shady right? Your calling him older than dirt, by your account Gore is from the Stone Age. Shady only has this year left on his contract, and Gore was signed on a one year deal. Signing Yeldon makes sense, but cutting Shady makes none. Yeldon would probably be a ST's player for the most part, but be in the stable in case one of our aging RB's get hurt. I doubt after this year neither Shady or Gore will be on the roster though.

If I was a super needy team and had to reach it'd be for Jacobs followed Sanders and Montgomery. Jacobs worries me as anything more than a complementary RB because he averaged so few touches per game in college. No idea how he would perform as a feature guy.

But Kamara IS a complementary back in the NFL which is what i said i can only project Jacobs as unless he proves otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Sanders will end up in the Hall but his skill set dictates he should be a very good RB at the pro level. They’d need to draft him in the second round then.. which i don’t see them taking a RB day one or two Edited April 17, 2019 by CaptnCoke11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take Sanders over Jacobs all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfanAZ Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I think if the Bills dont get a RB they like in the 3rd or 4th round then they will sign Yeldon after the draft. Good move for a 3rd RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career didn't take off in the way I expected it to and I think that this was at least partially due to injuries. I don't know what he has left but imo he is worth a look for the right price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would be a good signing? I just see it as a waste of a roster spot. If we want a pass catching RB, get one who can be a game breaker... if we want a power back, get one who can actually break tackles. If we want an all around RB, there are better options out there. I don’t hate him, I just hate the hype that surrounds mediocre players for who knows what reason. Yeldon is the Chris Kelsey of RBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 You wonder too when a player comes in this late, and then doesn't sign as a result of the visit, is it that they had already visited a couple teams maybe a month ago where there seemed to be mutual interest, so figures go visit another team now to generate fake interest to get the original team(s) to make an offer. Will be surprised if not signed by someone before the draft, either here in Buffalo or team he visited awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the draft they like a few guys. I dont see them doing anything at running back til rd 3 or day 3. If their guys are gone so be it. Yeldon is their insurance policy. Before the draft I can see it would be hard for a Rb to get close to the money they want when any team is expecting at least a shot at one of the guys they like at a value they covet.

One thing people lose sight of...this is just one draft. We have a draft and free agency again next year to also address things. RB right now no longer is a “need” for this draft. If one they like is there at the right time, sure take him, but no pressure to have to do it this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
