DJB Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) no to see JK Dobbins at his pro day So I'll admit, those are my tweets but they ring true. Dobbins is going to be a stud. Because he didnt do the combine this year and likely won't be able to do a pro day I think it's going to drop him into the 2nd round of the draft. If we grab our WR with pick 22 we could grab a big upgrade at RB and giving the Bills one of the best backfields in the NFL. Beane spoke about adding weapons around Josh Allen and Dobbins would certainly help. Hes a gifted 3 down back with great pass protection and a nose for the end zone. Great hands out of the backfield as well. Those videos are just small samples of what he can do. He runs with great vision, power, he makes excellent cuts and is just a baller. I'd seriously consider drafting him with our 2nd round pick and to me that's huge value and a steal. Edited March 14, 2020 by DJB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'd love it if he was there in the 2nd but don't most people already view him as a late 1st rounder? I know I've seen plenty of big boards with him as RB1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hes a first round talent, but with Taylor and Swift doing well at the combine and Dobbins not performing to me hes mistakenly become a forgotten man.

Alphadawg7 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I think he’s a possibility in the 2nd. And he would be a great 1-2 punch with Singletary if he lasted to our pick and took him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Everybody keeps saying that it would be a mistake for a RB to be in play at 22. But I wouldn't be shocked at all if you hear a RB's name at 22 if the Bills stay there. Don't get me wrong, I think Singletary can easily be one of the best RB's in the sport, but when all you have is a 5'7" RB and nothing else, RB sure as hell can be in play at 22. Plus, the FA and trade market is not that great to find another RB to go along with Singletary. Gordon and Drake will command too much money and Howard is not that good any more, for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to upgrade Singletary and not just find a guy like Z Moss who's slow but a banger, or Darrynton Evans who's a speed guy in like round 5. I would love to add a guy who's and all around upgrade on Singletary. Better inside, better power, more speed and better hands. Dobbins, Swift, Taylor and Akers fit the mold. I like CEH but hes simply a better pass catching version of Singletary. AJ Dillon is super intriguing. He has the exact combine numbers as D Henry. Hes a beast physically and likely goes as early as mid 2nd. The Bills offence needs to improve. Now is the time to add better skill guys to the team.

Lurker Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Question for the board: Which would you rather have--Dobbins or Clyde Edwards-Helaire? I've not spent much time looking at Dobbins, but I'd love if we got Edwards-Helaire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: and of course @GunnerBill Great player, great person. Has the McBeane DNA. All-purpose back who often compared to Emmitt Smith but i think is more of a Thurman Thomas. Not a burner regardless of what they released about his 40 time. He’s more quick than he is fast. No I would not take him or any RB in the 1st.

I actually really like CEH but to me hes a very similar flavor to Singletary but in an upgraded version because he has better hands. 6 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Great player, great person.

Dobbins hits a LOT of big runs. He’s a gamer too. He has a super high floor imo. Assuming he avoids injury it’s pretty much a guarantee he will be a quality back.

Mikie2times Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I like to see severe contrast between RB's. Somebody like Dillion makes a lot of sense, Just seeing his comps comparing to Henry then the production at BC. He passes the eye test. Dobbins is also a very talented RB. Not as much contrast but dynamic. I would be thrilled with either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Dobbins or Dillon would add a lot to our backfield and I'd love to see us take another RB early along with a WR and address the D in FA. The only way I draft D first is if Chaisson falls to #22. That's a no-brainer, then go WR/RB in Rd 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to know your team. Josh Allen and the Bills need a special talent on offense that can make big plays with the ball in their hands other than Allen. Singletary has that ability but he can't take a beating. The best way to turn the Bills offense into an explosive offense is to draft an elite RB. Especially the way our team in constructed and the offense we want to run. IMO you don't build your team around a RB but this Bills team is in the perfect position to add that beast in the backfield. Paying one top dollar doesn't make sense. With a RB today basically you use them for 5 years and get another one. I'm fully on board with a RB early in the draft. We can still add WR's. Honestly our 1st 3 picks could be 2 WR's and a RB. Edited March 15, 2020 by Buffalo_Stampede 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I would in no way be upset with JK Dobbins at 54. That’s tremendous value. Will he be there though? I don’t think so. I think if we want Dobbins, Swift or Taylor we need to go RB at 22. Wait for Mims, Claypool, Jefferson, Higgins, Shenault, Reagor or Aiyuk to fall in RD2 and trade up to 38 with Carolina and package 54 & 86 to land our WR there. Why go WR in RD1 when similar talent will be available in RD2? After Taylor, Swift and Dobbins there is a noticeable dip in talent at RB so it makes sense to go Taylor RD1 and jump up to 38 and take a powerful big bodied receiver like Laviska Shenault. Beane cautioned us about 1st round WRs, also in order to land Ruggs, Jeudy or Lamb we’re talking about a lot of capital to move up in a deep class, like our 1st and 2nd. Why not take the very best RB in the entire class and move up RD2 for our WR there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I don't think he's a first round pick mostly because running backs are devalued in the draft versus a number of other positions. I would seriously consider him in round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
