Drafts aren't for this year when you're this low in the 1st round and I wish people would stop looking at rookies as the solution to team needs. You can now shade more toward BPA than need. What's funny is when the team signs a guy for just over league minimum.........and then a bunch of fans say the team doesn't need to use a first round pick on that position now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Looking forward to Matt Breida becoming the best version of himself with the Bills. This is so smart, a relatively low/no risk, high reward scenario. If he plays at his 2018-19 level it's a terrific pickup. I think part of Beane's strategy is that if you sign enough of these low-budget, "be the best version of yourself" type guys you're bound to hit on a couple and if you do you really add value to your team (and end up looking pretty smart). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Should we sign Matt Breida? "No way! That guy is overrated, always injured, and couldn't crack the starting lineup in Miami!" *Bills sign Matt Breida* "Oh, I love the move! He's fast and the Dolphins were dumb to not play him more!"

Again, I like adding speed. I also liked Yeldons catching abilities for what good it did us. Good back and forth, bro! Don’t you think Yeldon not seeing the field had more to do with his fumble history as well as the coaching staff wanting to see what they had in Sungletary/Moss? They have a much better picture of what those two can do after Singletary’s second year and Moss’ first year. Just thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I'm hoping this means I don't need to worry about burning another early pick on a RB but we'll see. If the plan is to dress 3 RBs on gameday like we did this past year, I'm curious to see how this plays out. You'd think Moss will be a lock and you'd think Taiwan would be active for special teams so that only leaves one spot for Singletary/Breida unless one of them becomes a special teamer.

BillsShredder83 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Its so early to project these things, but i think this is a true 3 way race for rb1 heading into training camp. i dont think moss or singletary see any favoritism, other than a +1 tie breaker for time spent here in a true tie. singletary and moss both left alot to be desired out there, and i want this position group grinding harder than any others. lets see who wants to get to the top of the hill, maintain it, and pull away from the rest of the pack. we know what this roster is limited in, and were basically showing up with the same line and backs. this is how you squeeze any juice thats left in the tank. im also completely on board with rb in rd1 if he is true BPA!

Bobby Hooks Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I don’t get how people thinks this means we won’t draft a running back. It’s a one year deal, and as people have pointed out there are injury concerns. I like that we got him, but I think we’re set up perfectly for bpa in mostly all positions. If there’s a guy that the Bills really like at 30 I don’t think the Bills pass because of Brieda. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan619 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 15 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: Breida barely played last year. Can only catch if you’re thrown to. Neither guys seen many targets. Breida does have decent hands though. Why didn’t Miami need his speed? He couldn’t crack their roster and was a healthy inactive most of the season despite them having barely no talent at running back and they were hurting for playmakers to catch the ball. Speed is great, but not if you can’t be effective. Breida is tricky because everyone in San Fran looks like an all pro. I am a little sketchy of a guy who couldn’t beat out Myles Gaskin, Ahmed whatever his name was, Patrick Laird.. Not a good look if you’re sitting behind those guys. He has upside of course and his speed is elite, but he’s got his work cut out for him Good thoughts. Do you think part of last year had to do with injury though? Or, do you think it’s bigger than that? We need some break away speed out there so I’m hoping he can be used more than Yeldon was (not saying he will though).

If there’s a guy that the Bills really like at 30 I don’t think the Bills pass because of Brieda. I think it's mostly wishful thinking from people that didn't want a RB in the draft in the first place (myself included). We're already likely looking at cutting/trading/deactivating one of our talented RBs as is. It's certainly possible that we draft one of the top RBs and then cut Breida and trade/cut Singletary but I'm really hoping that isn't the way we use our draft picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo44 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’m all in on this. Superior speed and shiftiness for a bargain. But if Harris fell to us at 30 and Beane took him, I’d be OK with that. I think he is a special runner compared to anyone else in the draft. I think he can change an offense. Etienne clones, on the other hand can be found in the lower rounds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Breida will get a chance for playing time. But it won’t be easy to win this staff over. Fans should prepare thats it’s possible he doesn’t get playing time without an injury. Mcdermott has a decent track record of sticking with players he’s previously comfortable with and making people really earn their time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray51 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Love this as a low risk medium reward signing. Breida's speed can play well in either our screen game or our outside run game. We have one of the best pull centers in the league, let's use him with Breida to allow him to get to the outside and turn upfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Beane is an effective team builder, working within cap restrictions brilliantly. If you look at his signings, the retention of roster personnel who were great contributors at affordable #s along with cherry picking UFAs who fill positional needs,(TE, Edge,RB with speed), also at discounts on one year deals. He created cap space by restructuring where cutting wasn't called for and now has BPA flexibility in draft. He has made a believer out of me.

eball Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Signings like this are why those "in the know" call the Bills one of the best run organizations in the league now. Beane goes out and signs vets to 1-year deals as fill-ins/depth/competition and if they work out, he re-signs them. No cap worries, no risk -- all reward. Super smart. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
