stuvian Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 yes, I'm all over this because everything Jags is on sale due to the trainwreck they've become Fournette and Singletary would be the best 1 - 2 RB punch ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Draft a fresh, strong, bruising RB to compliment Singletary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Why spend draft capital to rent a backup for a year? Just use the pick to draft someone we can keep for several years on the cheap. We have our starter, no need to go after big names who won't stick around, will cost lots, or want to be the starter. If you want a two headed monster then use the 3rd round pick on a RB and see if he can hang with Singletary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have two 6th rounders so maybe a 3rd and a 6th if they're willing? I'd rather just draft Zack Moss who is better anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Spending a 3 or 4th round pick for an overpriced RB who is only average and will only be here 1 season, that seems like a total waste of resources imo, why not just draft a RB in round 3 or 4 who will actually be here for 4-5 seasons?

BillsFanForever19 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 For 4.16 million and a later round pick - this is something I could totally see Beane in on. Would be great complimentary to Singeltary. And Shaq Lawson's a Dolphin now ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Drafting RBs is the way to go. It gives you payroll flexibility and a continually fresh set of legs. No need to pay that second contract, unless it's for a real difference maker... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Send our 4th and I’m in on this. I wouldn’t send our 3rd, I’d rather take a rookie RB like AJ Dillon with our third to keep him around longer on a cheap contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Yes please!! As an aside, I’ve seen him working out twice in the last week.

BuffaloBills1998 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 His contract expires after 2020, that would be stupid to trade a high pick for a 1 year rental. Plus like another poster said on here he definitely has a Checkered history here in Buffalo due to that fight he got in with Lawson and I believe he also got verbal with some fans although I could be wrong. Also on top of that he’s injury prone, he had a good year last year but that’s definitely not worth the pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a dime a dozen position and as long as you got a top 5-10 O line you can make any RB look good 1 minute ago, wppete said: Id do it for a 5th and nothing more than that. That might be too much.

If it comes draft day and the top 3 guys in my mind are off the board which are Swift, Taylor and Simmons then I might be all for giving a 3rd or 4th. Beane is gonna go best player available.

The run was what it was but the HIIT workout was intense. The picture is one of the creepier things that I’ve ever done. I had told my dad and brother that I ran by him like a day or 2 before. I sent the picture the next time. You can’t really see but that’s him and some girl near the top. I sold the original to TMZ.

CommonCents Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 A good GM isn’t giving up a pick and paying a RB. Are you guys drinking already? Let me catch up.

stuvian Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) a 3rd or 4th for a player of Fournette's calibre is too good to pass up. I understand the arguments for cheaper, younger backs but Fournette and Singletary would be our own Thunder and Lightning. That plus Diggs and Brown would be a force of nature. If we're following the Panthers way of building a roster they seemed to like a sure handed vet at RB. This is the 3rd year in Clappy's contract. There are very few tomorrows left to make this happen. I won't get started on how long our fan base has waited for good things to happen. This is something Beane is very keenly dialed into.

I was just having fun, I love the RB class and I think you’d have a hard time screwing it up in the 2nd and 3rd round. I do think two RBs go in the first though. Singletary seems like he is 150 touch guy, I don’t want the Bills wasting time on a vet who is more than likely going to have to start for awhile. Draft a beast. The Gore experiment worked because he was effective for the early part of the year and preserved Singles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 There are already RB FA's out there that are just as good so why give away draft picks for nothing? I don't even want to waste a draft pick on a RB when guys like Hyde and Anderson can be had at very reasonable prices. Use those day 3 picks to look for OL and DE help. Maybe we'll find the proverbial diamond in the rough. The next Ed Wang! (j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
