NI Bills Fan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Seems logical... we needed speed in the backfield and we now have it, and hopefully on a cheap 1 year prove it deal. Can he return kicks or punts? (Serious question!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait... If you want to call siding with the math "entrenched".........so be it..........you aren't going to regret passing on a RB in round one in this day in age. Your first round picks are your primary chance to find players at high value positions that you won't get an opportunity to acquire otherwise. The draft is an ongoing process of team building..........it shouldn't be treated like an unrelated event from the prior year and the year prior to that........ Free agency is an event.

If McKenzie is going to be the return guy, that potentially frees up an extra roster spot that they could keep three RB's active on Sundays. Similar this new TE they signed, sounds like he provides everything Gilliam, Smith, and Kroft gave the Bills, so that also could free up one more slot on Sundays. I wonder if the Bills KR is on team as constructed. McKenzie is not just a PR only candidate as he has experience as KOR with Broncos and us early on. And Taiwan Jones has had 82 career KO returns. Breida has also returned kicks albeit only 5 as a rookie in SF 3 minutes ago, without a drought said: Last season the average pass to him traveled 0 yards.

Dr. K Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I like the acquisition but he did not look good for Miami last season, granting that he did not get many carries. We'll see if he can be rejuvenated in Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not talking about a pick in the top ten. It’s pick 30. If Beane and company believe they can get a true game changer at pick 30, I’m all for it. Unlike you, I’m open minded about all picks. You realize the board moves and changes based on picks made before yours, right? You’ve got to remain fluid and open while things are happening. Maybe you’re so used to being a fan of a team that has many needs that have to be filled. The Bills don’t have that problem. It will actually be very hard for a rookie to crack the starting lineup. So why not take the guy highest in your board? Id actually prefer going defense (possibly corner) but if Beane thinks he’s got the right guy, he won’t hear any complaints from me. All I’m saying is I’m glad Beane seems a little less rigid and myopic than some backseat gms in this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a ton of things that go into it not just BPA but who offers the most upgrade over who we already have at positions. Honestly I don't want to see them take a RB in any of the first 3 rounds. Frankly, the Singletary and Moss picks have both turned out regrettably...........and it's not that they are even bad players........it's just that the amount of impact you need from a RB to justify passing on harder to fill positions is rather substantial. "Who offers the most upgrade" probably shouldn't carry much weight in a $20M decision(which all first round picks should be considered). Sammy Watkins offered a greater upgrade to the WR position than Khalil Mack or Aaron Donald did to the Bills DL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 These are intentional signings. We have added an element to the run game. Speed. I watched his highlights. He's super fast. Somebody said we did nothing about the edge position. Obada is an upgrade. Dude is a rock, who had more sacks in 39% of playing time last year than anybody on our team. Epenesa's second half was really good. Hughes is good. We have an interior rush thanks to the return of Star. Let's see who falls to #19, or if Beane trades up to get Kwity Paye or somebody like that. We don't have a lot of needs. We kept our CB2 and Dane Jackson is coming on up. I do believe we'll address that early in the draft. Assante Samuel Jr? Horn? Lots of candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if there's some equivalent experience in Rugby that Wade is used to seeing 11 guys charging down on him while he tries to catch an oblong shaped rotating object? If so that could be his role. Maybe the past two seasons, that's all he's been doing during practice, fielding kicks? Now admittedly I just blew up my entire argument about having an extra roster slot for Breida as now using a slot up for Wade.

And ol' Gettlenutz is just the guy to keep an open mind like you and select a RB or offensive guard in round 1 and call a loss a win.😉 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
