jkx2 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 If you've watched Najee Harris at all this year you saw he's a special running back culminating with his 5 TD night in the championship game. Would you spend a 1st round draft choice on him even though the popular consensus is never a running back in the 1st round. Other than a dominant tightend I think the Bills offense would be unstoppable with a guy like Najee in the backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delirious Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) I think CB, DE, potentially LB are bigger needs than RB. Edit: Add guard to that list. Ike Boettger development and John Feliciano retainment pending. Add tackle to the list too pending on Daryl Williams retainment.

Big Turk Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 No. The Bills have 2 perfectly capable backs.

Okay, are we retaining Wallace and Norman? Because if we are, does that play into Milano's contract, Feliciano's contract, Daryl Williams contract? I'd rather have those three than either of those two. You are probably going to have to cut some defensive lineman (mario addison, quinton jefferson, vernon butler) to retain all three (I'd seriously consider it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a RB with some speed to add to the backfield. I don’t wanna add one in the 1st......rather draft a true starting caliber CB in the 1st round , but this offense desperately needs a game breaker at the RB position for this offense to reach its true potential.

JGMcD2 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I REALLY want Kadarius Toney from Florida. He would be able to do a little bit of everything for us. He reminds me of Tyreek Hill. Dude is fast, breaks ankles, can take a handoff or throw a pass too (former QB). Would take over in McKenzie’s role and then grow with Josh post Brown. I think he’s a RD 2-3 pick. I’d like to see Zavan Collins (LB) from Tulsa in RD1 but he will likely be gone. I’d prefer Beane targets offensive lineman in FA. He’s done pretty well for himself with the bargain bin OL signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no 1st round pick, even if we pick 32 😉. Outlandish college production doesn’t mean much either nowadays. has CEH been worth the 1 the chiefs used on him? Maybe...I’d argue probably not.

QLBillsFan Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Think Bills can nab quality breakaway back in 3rd or 4th round. DS and Moss were brought in for what they do. Hardest guys to tackle in draft and physical play. TE, CB, pass rush, OL, LB may be greater needs. Just my thoughts 💭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Please no more RB’s in the 1st round. To me once you have your QB you should continue to focus on guys in the trenches and DB’s. We’ve seen this year how quick o-line and CB death becomes very thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone like a Shaun Wade (could play outside, slot or even safety) could be interesting. I think they’ll draft an OL early though, either 1st or 2nd round. They need to keep that depth up and it’s something Beane obviously values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the RB who went for 161 yards against Buffalo worth the pick? Yes. Yes he was. Reid has been limiting his touches since adding Bell, but he’s going to get a ton of carries and catches in the playoffs. They were in danger of grinding him into a pulp 6 games into the season.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Here's the logical problem with using 1st round picks on RBs: If they are anywhere south of a perennial 1,000 yard back it's a wasted pick because the NFL is chock full of serviceable starting RBs taken in rounds 4-7. If they play well enough to justify the 1st round pick, they want to get paid like it after 4 years and smart GMs don't pay long term contracts to RBs. So at that point the best move is to let them destroy some other team's salary cap. In my opinion you don't take a player in the 1st round if you don't think there's at least a chance they'll sign long term after their rookie contract and spend a decade as a Bill.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I'm fine with adding a RB in round 4-7. Other than that they still have serious issues in the front 7 on defense mostly related to age. They need to add a DE or two and a 1 tech DT (maybe Starr and Phillips are the answer for 2021). So much will depend on what happens with Milano and Williams. If they let Milano walk then OLB becomes the most immediate need. Of course they can replace a few of these guys in free agency. They will bring in a TE too but I would favor a veteran TE and not a rookie. Learning curve for that spot is too great and this team needs to win now. Knox may still be an above average TE. He has not hit his ceiling yet. But with Kroft almost assuredly gone they will need another body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
