Who is the one player you DON’T want the Bills to draft @30

Seen this sentiment several times in this thread...

 

In a vacuum I agree, but I also think this is playing with fire. The FA pool is pretty thin and/or old, and I count 6 guys in the draft who I think you can argue make an impact on this roster in the semi-immediate future, only 3 or 4 of which are more bellcow types. 

 

Additionally, you're looking at very likely the top 3 being gone by our 2nd round pick, maybe more... Just not a lot of wiggle room to get cute, or we'll end up back with Singletary and Moss, which to me is probably an even less exciting prospect than just taking Etienne or Harris in the first... 

Oh, I'm totally fine with being back with Singletary and Moss, with the addition of Breida. I think the oline needs to be better at run blocking.

 

And we have a passing offense. Singletary and Moss both showed they were good at pass blocking last year.

if we take a RB in the 1st, I think that’s the front offices version of “going for it”.  Taking a RB in rd 1 likely means that we’ll have this rb for 4-5 years and he’ll be gone.  Harris or etienne would likely have a bigger impact on the 2021-2022 season than any other player we may draft.  
 

Just another way to try and win a title.  It’s not a science, there are several winning formulas 

Right. Get cute and end up having to reach on Trey Sermon in the second or wind up empty handed (in terms of getting an impact guy) or just bite the bullet, take the RB and figure out how to make the rest of your picks as impactful as possible. That's how I'm starting to look at it.


would be curious to know how available Josh Jacobs is/isn't...

 

Otherwise we're probably looking at a committee that includes Todd Gurley's hobbling corpse as our next-best-case scenario...

Woof, you're a braver man (or woman) than I...

Prepare to be disappointed. I have a feeling McDermott and Beane are not going to give up premium assets for a running back.

 

But I could be wrong. We'll see what happens.

To be clear, I'm not necessarily *FOR* taking a RB early, I just only see so many avenues to improving the position at this point. I've seen all I need to from Singletary to know that he's not it. I saw plenty of Moss in college and now he's coming back from a pretty major injury? I'm skeptical there too. Breida's certainly worth hoping for, but he's not the kinda guy you look at and say "yea, problem solved"...

 

I dunno, there's a lot of different directions I'd rather go than Etienne or Harris at 30, but it does feel like we're starting to get a little cornered at that position. And they made it clear that we need to run the ball better, so something's gotta give. They're running back essentially the same OL from last year, so we'll see. Hard for me to imagine at this point that Cody Ford at a new position is the difference maker in the equation...

The more I think about it, the Jets or fins will likely pass on rb rd 1 and take Javonte Williams in rd 2.  Or etienne or Harris if they’re still available

No RB, Punter, Kicker, QB, or Safety.

 

I’d be ok with LB, OT, G, WR, DT.

 

Want: CB, DE if we pick.

 

Really want: Trade down 

I Really want  a good player who will contribute DONT care if we trade up or down

as long as it’s not a kicker, punter, long snapper, or quarterback, I’m good.

I would like a DE , CB , WR , G 

i have a feeling will adress all those positions in which rounds I guess will depend on the board , but it would surprise me if we take a WR in the 1st

if a WR happens to be the best player on the board when #30 rolls around, I bet Beane grabs him.   Would definitely be a “rich get richer” scenario for our offense!
