John from Riverside Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I am really not buying that Beane likes Yeldon that much. If he liked him he would have given him more burn last year when Gore was falling off. He has that game breaking speed that compliments Devin's style of play. You dont have a drop off in play when Devin gets spelled, it keeps him fresh, and if Devin gets nicked up he looks like could carry the load. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 He is fast and there is a connection with his RB coach at Wisconsin who used to coach in Carolina. But a reason I see them maybe looking at a different RB especially that high is that he’s untested In the passing game. That was the case with Singletary last year too and they projected that he could do it in the nfl and we can determine whether that was successful or not. Since they couldn’t do a private workout with Taylor I’m not sure they want to project something like that again. They may want a RB who has that on film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffHead Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Taylor is my top choice too. But no interest in trading up, so he probably won’t be available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 My pick for the 2nd round is Joe Burrow. Think of the value! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hes a big, fast guy. Im curious where he goes. With his production, and physcial ability I could see him going in rd 1. At 54 hes a no brainer imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) 18 Fumbles -- lots of carries but 18 fumbles with 15 recovered by the opponents. McD will be in the draft room (his basement) looking at Beane over zoom saying -- "Don't get me a fumbler" if Taylor is on the board at 54...

Doc Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Not a receiver, not a pass blocker and a fumbler. What's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big and fast, smart, decent vision but not elite vision. He was not really a big recruit of HS so he earned his stripes for sure.

MassHog Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I love Singletary but I honestly think that Taylor is a better back. I think if we drafted Taylor, he'd be primary and devin would be a secondary back/additional player in the passing game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Taylor is definitely my top choice but the odds of him being there at 54 are very slim. We would have to move up at least 10+ spots to get him. Dobbins makes more sense at 54. You'll want that 86 for a WR. 2 minutes ago, MassHog said: I love Singletary but I honestly think that Taylor is a better back.

Devin would still probably get 40% of the touches but JT would be RB1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Two words....... Cam Akers. Simply put, Akers is a light years better all around RB and he has a better chance of being there at 54. Plus, McBeane likes those 5 star recruits. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 We probably have to trade up from 54. Are you prepared to pay that price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'd still be surprised if the Bills use their biggest draft capital on a rb when they just drafted Singletary last year and he became the starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
