Malazan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 28 minutes ago, MJS said: I think you're wrong. Almost every mock had him going in the 3rd, often higher than where he actually went. So why is your analysis more accurate than the "experts" and the actual GM who gets paid millions to do it, a GM that has been pretty successful to this point? The whole "we could have gotten him a round later" is an incredibly stupid take as well. Maybe, maybe not. If he can contribute, does it ultimately matter if he was a 3rd or 4th round pick? It also is dependant on who you get in the 4th. There's so many possible permutations of how things work out. It's just a crutch for those people that need to complain about something. Last season people lost their minds because you could have taken Singletary in the 4th! Now...he was a bargain as a 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjusts really nicely to inaccurate footballs while on the run or forced to elevate and quickly transitions into a runner. Wins against linebackers and defensive backs in space to make the first guy miss and quickly get upfield. Is a great candidate for screens and checkdowns, with a modest outlook as a route runner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjnick Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Like the pick. There was a big run on RB's in round 2 and early round 3 which left the cupboard pretty bare at RB except for Moss. That's why Beane was sweating. I really wanted WR Edwards from South Carolina here, but the damn Raiders took him about 5 picks earlier. Interesting how some teams have taken multiple WR's here in the early rounds... I'm surprised how early the BC RB went (Dillon)... in the 2nd. DE, RB check, check. Now let's get a WR, CB.

It sounds like he has good hands so maybe a bit of Larry Centers? Now on Gore if he does not get picked up I'd like the Bills to offer him job either as assistant coach or on training staff.

I think the Bills have likely looked into the inury and feel comfortable. Without that injury concern, this is guy is a borderline first round talent!! I thought he may come out last year itself - but he had to defer because of the injury. He deferred because he wanted to finish is college degree which is a good thing if true.

947 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Moss ran 4.52 after the combine. He tweaked his hammy in one of the Combine workouts, but ran the 40 anyway.

Búfalo Blanco Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Singletary is a good back. If Moss proves to just be solid or good at what they need from him... it should be a top running game. Allen padding the rushing yards even more... this will be a fun backfield to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primarily because I’ve watched the kid level DEs in pass pro then float out into the flat. It’s infinitely better that Taylor who looks like he pretended to try blocking at times. Thing with Moss is going to be..... how aggressive can our O line be about wearing down front 7’s? Oh I like Moss. I just believe that this backfield is utterly bereft of speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too high for Moss, and I personally think we could have landed him in a later round. I'd have gone with WR Devin Duvernay, Texas. Yes we have Diggs, but our other starters are over 30 and this in my opinion the WR's in round 2 were of better value. Most of the WR talent are bon afide starting material, where Moss will never be more of a role player/backup. Brown and Beasley are old and will start to fade, so it's very important to add youth to an aging position.. I see this as a missed opportunity. ? .um.. congrats, I think.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 For people complaining about a lack of dynamic speed... Don't we have that with Diggs and Brown? Haven't I been hearing constant churning about how this is the new NFL and we have to be pass first with a complementary run game? This is exactly the type of pick I want. We have a pair of running backs who make it harder to send out the nickel packages. No more getting stopped up middle on third and short 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best backs break off really long runs for TDS what, 2 or 3 times a year? Singletary had 7 carries over 20 yards last year on 151 carries... the top running back taken in last years draft, Josh Jacobs had 8 of 20+, on 242 attempts. I think Motor n’ Moss are going to be an excellent 1-2 punch. Couldn't agree more - the whole " His 40 time is slow so he'll get caught from behind" is such a ridiculous argument. What matters is quickness, vision, balance etc. The number of times a RB is in an unimpeded straightline race on a football field is so laughably low - almost non-existent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 When we ranked the RBs that we wanted most this year a week or so ago, Moss was my #1 (based on the idea that I thought we could get him at 86). Needless to say I’m happy with the pick, especially considering a few teams reached on RBs ahead of him. This has been a very strong start to the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
