If we go Offense in Round 1

  1. 1. Who’s the pick at 30?

    • Travis Etienne, RB (Clemson)
      101
    • Kadarius Toney, WR (Florida)
      21
    • Jalen Mayfield, OL (Michigan)
      33


Recommended Posts

Toney is intriguing, but would he get snaps?  If he pushes Gabe Davis off the field, does that really improve the team much?

 

I don’t mind the idea of an OL, especially one who is supposed to be a powerful run blocker, but what would you do with Mayfield - compete vs Cody Ford for one OG spot?
 

I would not be disappointed with Etienne, but I think the run blocking was the biggest problem last year - I know many disagree and think that Singletary and Moss were the problem with the run game.

I like Toney. Keep in mind Sanders will be 35 in 2022. Beasley will be 33. We could draft a first round prospect this year, slowly work him into the offense and perhaps by the 2022 season he'll be ready to become a focal point of the offense.

I would play Toney sparingly this year. He'd probably be our return specialist and run all the same plays McKenzie did. I think it is highly unlikely both Sanders and Beasley are still on the team in 2022. Likely just one is and possible that neither are. So 2022 would be the season where Toney gets an expanded role in the offense with a year of experience under his belt.

Excellent points on the shelf-life of Sanders and Beasley.

I guess Etienne could be an impact player, or not.  High reward but carries the RB risk. Mayfield could be ten year starter for all we know.  
 

If a CB is in their list of BPA that is the pick,  although I wish we find a edge rusher.

People who create polls on this board must work for Political polling groups with their ability to limit/select options that drive home the point they want to make. :P

 

How bout giving us a better OL choice, like Dickerson, Alijah Vera-Tucker, or Creed Humphrey?

From the listed. Mayfield...

Toney? I thought we were looking for speed? He's like 4.6-4.7 from what I've read... 1st round RB?No thanks. Haven't read or seen anything that would lead me to believe he is a generational talent...

Mayfield,  RG, LG or tackle... Well if something happens to Morse, you can shift Mongo to center and have him come in at RG. Something happens to William's, put him at RT... Ford doesn't get his s*** together put him at LG.😉

Voted for T.E. I love Mayfield and he fills a need but #30 maybe high. Maybe trade down and pick him later. Toney is worth it as a late first but can’t waste a first rounder on  the WR position given our strength there - now if this were Ja’Marr Chase, I might be tempted.:)

 

T.E. Does remind me (and a zillion others) of Alvin Kamara. That is a game changer right there.

Benjamin Albright believes the Bills are thinking running back at 30.

 

Thought that was interesting. He’s usually pretty plugged in. He was the most insistent national voice saying that the Bills were all in on Josh Allen, for instance.

If the RB is a pass receiving threat, maybe.  I just think that the run game woes were due to terrible blocking, rather than Singletary and Moss.  If my view is right, then an early RB would likely suffer same fate of being hit in backfield frequently.

I agree.

 

I think the only way they’d consider an RB at 30 is if he’s a home run hitter and a pass catcher. Maybe they feel that Ettienne or Harris is those things.

 

While I think they like Moss and Singletary, they DID try to sign Le’veon Bell last year, which I feel like they would not have done if they were TOTALLY happy with their current guys.
 

Anyway, RB at 30 wouldn’t be MY preference in any case. Just passing along the potential intel from Albright.

He is better than a lot of twitter guys but he throws out a lot of darts...

Nobody on Twitter is correct 100% of the time.

 

Heck, I doubt THE BILLS even know what position they’ll be picking a month from now, so how would a Broncos beat writer know?!

 

That said, he’s one of the more tuned in, routinely correct people around.

 

Do what you will with his info. 🤷‍♂️

It’s called push-polling.

You can bank on it. Every time they say “we’re good with guys in house” tells you what the pick is. No one can be THAT crazy. Which one will be there?

 

We need better run blocking AND we need a capable RB. Fixing one doesn’t necessarily fix the other. Both is required. We’ll trade up for one if we have to.

Before free agency I would have said OT or RB but I would wait until 2022 now for an OT in the first three rounds. If you forced me to take an offensive player I'd still go with Harris.

Rashan Slater from NW is intriguing and fits what the Bills like with o-line players that can play multiple positions

If our running back is there at 30, it will happen.

I'd pass on Toney players of his skill set & size hardly ever pan out in the NFL.

I don’t see offense RD1. I’m sorry. I think we go DL. To me it’s Carlos Basham Jr or Zaven Collins. I’d prefer Basham but I’d rejoice over Collins as well.

 

Now if I absolutely had to go offense at #30, I think I would go with Pat Freiermuth or maybe even Elijah Moore. I think Harris will be gone and I think Etienne will be gone too. 
 

Freiermuth would be disgusting in this offense and honestly, I don’t think you would see much of a drop off there between him and Pitts. Some have him as a 2nd round pick but I would not hesitate taking him at all at #30. We’re looking at a potentially elite TE here. If he was gone I’d go with Elijah Moore, he’s been rocketing up draft boards.
