Still sucks for a rookie to have to wait a year to get to play. For fantasy purposes james robinsons draft stock just went way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 He didn't look like an impact player anyways, didn't hear any reports of him popping in camp. He wasn't going to be used as the workhorse to replace Robinson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It’s doubly bad because one of the only rationales for taking a 1st round RB is that they are ready to play Day 1. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure... 2 DE's play on any given play - sometimes more. Both starters are 33+. Its also a more in-demand and impactful position in terms of wins and losses. They also have only drafted 1 DE since McD arrived, and that was in the 7th. Pass rushers are also expensive on their 2nd deal, so the goal being to get cheaper at that position in the next 3-4 seasons. 3 minutes ago, Albany,n.y. said: They didn't trade up for him.

The implication was that Buffalo should have drafted him - but they were never able to since he was drafted before buffalo picked at #30. So it would have required a trade-up to get a running back.

It's the second most important position group on the field, imo. Absolutely agreed. Doesnt make any less "crazy" of a move, especially when it went down in real time. Drafting anything back to back to back like that will raise eyebrows, just for the unlikelihood of it. 7 minutes ago, dneveu said: Sure... 2 DE's play on any given play - sometimes more.

Yall... it's mostly jokes from me here. Dont get too upset because I neglected to use other goofy emojis in my post.

The Bills drafted 4 1st round RBs in 14 drafts from 1997-2010. Only Lynch was worth it & Nix & Gailey drove him out of town beause they didn't like him & his off the field problems. So they drafted Spiller & totally devalued Lynch's trade value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chan wanted his "waterbug". Spiller got 74 total carries in 2010, and was down to 3.3 touches/game in 2011 until Fred got hurt. I've never seen anything like it. No plan whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially to draft them in what many considered weaker drafts at the position. I like that they went with the upside of rousseau's athleticism, to go with epenesa and basham who probably project as lower ceiling players. I also think basham may have been more of a BPA type of situation, as the corners went off the board before they could land one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Sorry for the kid. That really is too bad. I hate hearing sarcasm not there was a lot here about a kid just out of college out before his first NFL game. I hope he heals and can help his team next year. I can’t imagine you prepare for 21 years of you’re life for you’re dream come true in the NFL, and almost never hurt in college, and BAM out for the year. if it were my son I’d be heartbroken for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
