Of course we needed to draft a running back. Well said. Shady’s gone after this year, and Gore will probably retire. Makes perfect sense. Next year we’ll be targeting edge rushers.

I've started wondering whether there's too much focus on that type of player. Maybe you can't have too many of them. They got Murphy based on his motor. Maybe he will still work out. I just give as an example. It seems to me they got Trent for his nine sacks in 2016. 8 minutes ago, Protocal69 said: Travis Henry is my player comp to Singletary because just because players just seem to slide off of him just like back in the day with Travis Unfortunately trouble seemed to stick to Trav. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I speak for all Bills fans when I say that the "Geriatric Plan," was going to be great. There was absolutely ZERO NEED to get younger at a meaningless position like Running Back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they were not happy to be drafted by the Bills? Did you expect Singletary to say that as a life long Floridian he shuddered at the thought of freezing his thin skin arse off in the land of tundra?

The Now Moment Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 He plays much bigger than 5'7", that's for sure. He's 203 pounds, that's pretty built for a guy 5'7". His quickness and ability to run through tackles is a lethal combination, hence his success in college. Those are translatable attributes into the NFL that mean something for a running back. A 40 time isn't as translatable. How many times a game do running backs sprint in a straight line? His cuts/jukes were decisive and explosive and just made tacklers look silly, just like we see with Shady. I think Beane took this year's Harrison Phillips to learn from a great veteran that's already on the team. What better guys to learn from than two of the best long lasting running backs in this league? I like Devin's chances to be a big impact player by the later half of the season. Who knows, injuries happen and we do have two old backs. He could be the starter by then...If Oliver, Ford and Singletary can be impact players this year, then Beane did his job. This is assuming Mccoy and Gore both make the team, which I think they will. Can't wait to see this kid in camp. I liked Montgomery too but this kid looks like a better fit with Mccoy on the roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect them to say nothing if they weren't happy or at least give the pat "I'm just glad to be drafted..." answer.

But if it is, it won't be because they didn't need him. If he's good, they'll find a way to use him. Rookie contracts are four years long and the guy drafted in Singletary's spot last year earned $936K per year for his four year contract. A good RB at that salary would be very useful for this team. Probably by next year, Gore and Shady will be gone. A good RB at that salary would be very useful for this team, particularly looking into the future. It'll only be a bad pick if he doesn't become a good player. Which is true of all draft picks, really. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
