Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 2 hours ago, ChronicAndKnuckles said: I hope people don't think this eliminates Harris (or other top RB) from the draft especially if he drops. Breida is a camp body the way I see it and he'll compete. It would be very hard for them to pass up somebody like that at 30. He could be replacing Singletary for all we know. Anything is possible at 30. Lots of options. Of course that means trading down might be a good idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you browsed free agent running backs left? Motor currently has zero value. Zero To be fair, the guy has a 2 year average of 4.8 yards per carry. That ain’t chopped liver. If Beane can get picks for some of those other guys, he gets something for Singletary if he wants to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah I'm not too familiar with him either. So we'll see how it goes. He was one of Frisco’s main backs during their Super Bowl run. He’s fast but has had a hard time staying healthy and he didn’t do much of anything in Miami and they traded for him last year to go along with Jordan Howard and that RB group went no where fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I like Breida. But I see this more as a replacement for Yeldon and insurance more than anything else. Could easily see Singletary, Moss, Breida, and a Draft Pick battling it out for 3 positions with the odd man out being traded (if it's Singletary) or released (if it's Breida). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I don’t foresee any trades until potentially after TC. If Breida beats out one of the top 2 or one is drafted relatively high, singletary could get dealt before the season. But they will hang on to all of them until then because of injuries imo. Breida can easily get cut after TC if they draft one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 This is truly a hedge your bet pickup. He is better than Wade as a return candidate to compete against McKenzie since no Rugby guy ever fields balls at the angles of the NFL and he also is no worse than Yeldon as an RB3. He could just as easily be cut. Low risk pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Whenever you combine how much we pass versus run and what our offense is now yes I think this does take us out of running back at 30 I don’t think it takes us out of running back in the draft as there are some that will be available later on but I think it pushes us more towards corner or defensive lineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was NOT the feature back for 3 years in SF. In his entire NFL career he has never been a featured RB. His 1st year at SF Carols Hyde was the #1 back. He came to SF as a UDFA and made some noise. His 2nd year he was not the feature back taking only 34% of the offensive snaps. He was the leading yard gainer. His 3rd year he took the least amount of snaps of the 3 headed monster of Coleman/Mostert/Breida. Breida was close to the top of my FA list after Lindsay. He can easily made this team as a change of pace RB. Singletary and Moss do not change how defenses scheme against the Bills at all.

I'd go in that order in the draft because they seem to have the most instant impact. I'd even swap 1st and trade 2nd and 5th for ability to grab Pitts. that is a good question: why did Miami barley use him??? I'm really not a fan of "going in that order". It's a recipe for reach.

BisonMan Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 With the Bills’ weak run blocking, his breakaway spread will get him into the arms of a tackler in the backfield that much quicker than our 2020 RBs could. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that there will be changes on the OL and not at RB, so Breida should be a low cost high reward type signing. He's only 26 and was barely used (but disappointing to the Dolphins) in 2020. What do you think? maybe to make everyone think we’re not going RB in the first round ?
