BuffaloBills1998 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I like Kenyan Drake, he had a very productive season for Arizona this year and will be a free agent, maybe Fournette if Tampa doesn’t resign him. Or do we possibly draft 1 or two in the draft this year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBud Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The kid from Alabama has been put out there. Trey Sermon from OSU is one to look at also. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 As good as our line is in pass protection, they are very underwhelming in terms of run blocking. Singletary and Moss are average but honestly I don’t think Derrick Henry would be productive here. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I really like the idea of getting Rex Burkhead on the cheap as a replacement for both Taiwan Jones and TJ Yeldon. He can fill both their roles on offense and ST. The risk is health— 31 years old and coming off a torn ACL. But seems like we could get him for cheap. 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I’m not really in favor of giving a significant contract to a FA running back. I don’t think Brandon Beane is either. I do think the Bills need a RB with more speed that can help in the passing game 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im ok with Moss as a #2, but Singletary is a liability. It’s been two years... we need to upgrade. He actively hurts our offense. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Phillip Lindsey...although I think he's an RFA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a throw out into the flat that Yeldon caught, the same side that Singletary had his drop. Beasley was out in front blocking and had his guy taken care of. Yeldon ran smack dab straight into him for about a 6 yard gain. We need someone who can take that pass and turn that into a 25 yard gain. Get me Travis Etienne or Najee Harris.

Never know. While I’m always against drafting a rb in the first rd, but I would consider them to be the Bpa at 30, so I’d be good with it in this spot. As much as I like both of those RBs, I’ll go on record with my campaigning for Kenneth Gainwell. While I haven’t scouted much of anyone just yet, I think Gainwell could be the perfect piece to this offense. He’s a great receiver and has the burst and game breaking explosion that this offense needs. Opposing DCs wouldn’t be able to play us like they do right now if we had him. He’d change our offense completely imo. I don’t think he’ll be available with our 2nd rd pick, so I would love it if we could trade down from 30 and draft him somewhere in the 2nd. I haven’t scouting any other rbs yet, but off the top of my head, Michael Carter from UNC has some nice burst for a 196 lb back. I love Javonte Williams. He doesn’t have the top end speed that I’d prefer but he reminds me of Fred Taylor. One look at the free agent RB list and you’ll be sure to gag. Aaron Jones reportedly turned down a 14 mill a year contract from the packers. He’d be a perfect fit, but no way we pay him. Noooo chance. Chiefs Carson is a good back, but is he too similar to Moss. We need speed. Drake, fournette are estimated 8 mill a year.....hard pass. Gurley? Ugh. Lindsey might be a nice fit.....but ehh. I view improving our run game as a big focus of our offseason. Adding a playmaking RB that can make a D pay would help that cause. That being said, I don’t see any free agent RBs i’d be interested in based on the salary they would command.....so I’ll be looking forward to diving into these RB prospects. Kenneth Gainwell is currently my choice. He’s a bottle rocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 We're not paying a RB. We have too many FAs & needed extensions to pay 2nd contract money to a RB. We'll add one in the draft. Drafting one at #30 would have more impact on next season than any other position. I know we have other needs, but next year is the heart of our window. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It showed Yeldon lack of ability. Dude just ran straight into his teammate who was blocking a DB. MOVE TO THE SIDE ONE STEP YOU IDIOT!!!

Dkollidas Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Matt Breida as a scat back option? I think we could see Christian Wade make a push for a spot.

Rc2catch Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 There’s going to be a lot of free agency options. Stop browsing the top 5 names though. Those contracts are not what we want. We want the guys left after the draft. Or the guys cut after the draft. You can get really good backs and you don’t have to throw a first round pick or monster contract to get them. There has to be a serious effort to establish a run game or it’s all a waste of time though. It’s not like our line can’t run block, they just don’t emphasis it and work it into a rhythm. I’m keeping an eye on Jeff Wilson from San Fran to see if he ends up back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We need a fast RB that knows how to read his blocks and can take it to the house. Spiller was a fast RB that didn’t know where to run, hence could rarely take it to the house.
