hmsmystic Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Absolutely. A top flight back to pair with Singletary is the single best thing we could do for the offense- less throwing is better for Bills at this point Gordon has average numbers and will be too expensive 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Not at 22, but man, I'd take him in the second in a heartbeat. Hell likely not last very long, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Taylor go in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I would like that. But I also think you can get a good RB in round 2. Either way, I do think we need a between-the-tackle type of guy from the draft to pair with Singletary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 4 hours ago, First Round Bust said: not at the cost of a number one pick; I don't see the Bills drafting a WR at 22 either unless one of the top 3 guys falls to them... I agree. With Murphy being Murphy and Lawson headed to the free agent market, I believe a DE will be on Beane's wish list. One of the top four DE's should be available at 22 and be a decent value there. I also wouldn't be surprised, if they bring in one of the second tier free agents as well. A really good WR will be available in round two with or without a move up. As others have pointed out, RB is probably down their list of priorities unless a really great prospect falls really far in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a great player that would fill a major need. Taylor and Singletary would be a devastating 1-2 punch. We would potentially have a running attack in the same echelon as the Ravens and 49ers. If Josh Allen continues to develop the way I think he can, we could be looking at a top 10 offense. If you put 8 in the box, Allen will tear you up with his arm. You drop one in coverage and you get clobbered by Taylor and Singletary. I know WR is a need but the value may not be there when we pick. I could see us trading up to the top of RD2 and taking Higgins, Jefferson, Claypool, Mims or Reagor there. We still get our WR and we add a potentially elite RB into the mix. Am I missing a chromosome? Or would Taylor be a great guy to add to the mix? He is great but RBs are easier to find than what we need at other spots.

BillsShredder83 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Scouting report said hisissues are- passblock, fumbles . That's my only issue with, if we go Wr in the 2nd also. not shying away from a offensive force if I'm in Beane's shoes. Shelf life of 4 or 5 years is a good enough return on a RB if he helps Josh have an easier day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 People want to flame throw at the idea of a star RB in the First Round but I don’t agree. I’ll take a player who brings 25 to 30 touches a game over a WR who at best will get 5 or 6. It’s not like the Bills are picking in the top three this year. They just solidified their interior O Line by resigning Spain and in the past year have watched TWO historically top tier RBs depart OBD. I’m of the mindset that you can get a less busy prone solid WR in the 2nd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 I think adding a guy like Vic Beasley, Dante Fowler or Bud Dupree in free agency really opens up things for us in the draft. I like the free agent crop at DE more than I like the draft crop. My two favorite prospects are Kenny Willekes and Alton Robinson, both are viewed as 3rd/4th round picks. Anyways, here’s a stab at the draft if we go Taylor at #22. Round 1, pick No. 22. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin TRADE! Bills trade #54 and #86 to Carolina for #38 Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado Round 4, pick No. 128. Alton Robinson, DE, Syracuse Round 5, pick No. 155 (via Browns) Willie Gay Jr., LB, Mississippi State Round 5, pick. No. 167 Quez Watkins, WR, Southern Miss TRADE! Buffalo trades #188, #201 and #207 to the Houston Texans for pick #131 Raequan Williams, DT, Michigan State 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm not a "draftnik" since I don't follow college football, so I'm not going to tout taking a particular player. That said, I'm good with the OP's plan. The Bills need 2 more good WRs and at least 1 better RB (read that as reliable playmakers) than they had last year. However they acquire them, FA or the draft, is fine with me. Allen can't improve without weapons, and the Bills aren't winning many playoff games without a significantly improved offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This league knows you can draft RBs in round 3-4 and still be very successful and we already have a young RB1. The only RB you take in round 1 is a generational type talent and those guys never get out of the top 5-7 players picked.
