Doc Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Again it was a dumb pick, after finding a gem in Robinson as an UDFA last year. But glad they took him and didn't even give the Bills a chance to take him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I get it for TE, but just saying he's no longer with Jax, he's released. We can offer Jax Josh Allen and we're not getting Tebow back in return as he's not not on the team.

BADOLBILZ Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 As I pointed out during the draft process.........Etienne had a lot of mileage on him. *Maybe* this injury happens regardless of those 800+ college touches.......touches which produced significantly diminishing returns in his final season, btw.........but round 1 RB fans need to face this reality: The best players on the field don't play RB anymore. The money has moved the stud RB athletes of yesterday the defensive side of the ball to stop the passing game..........or in some cases to WR on offense.........a guy like Etienne would have been reserve RB 25 years ago. What I find most perplexing is why people over-valued his speed/quickness numbers etc...........if he played CB or WR with those measurables at his size, he might have been a late round pick or even UDFA. Not to say he wouldn't have carved out a niche at another position but you don't put a #1 on that player anywhere but at RB. And then the Jags moved him to WR. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His productivity (YPA) fell off a cliff in his senior season. I didn't want the Bills anywhere near this guy in the early rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked him in college and hope that he will be a good pro. (even though I don't really like the Jags) B) I feel so bad for Trevor Lawrence. He may actually die behind that O-line.

Lawrence running for his life behind that line feels like Burrows Pt2. Shouldve drafted in the trenches to protect your prodigy childs health and confidence. Instead they took a beat up CJ Spiller whos already had a workhorse career. Nobody learned from Lucks career, Burrows rookie season, Darnolds stint on NJJets and another hundred similar stories??

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 3 hours ago, dneveu said: 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. Epenesa was drafted in last year's 2nd round? I think he's a DE? So in Beane's first 3 drafts we have used 2018 3rd: Harrison Phillips (DT) 2019 1st: Ed Oliver (DT) 2019 7th: Darryl Johnson (DE) 2020 2nd: AJ Epenesa (DE) 2021 1st: Greg Rousseau (DE) 2021 2nd: Boogie Basham (DE) That's a lot of high draft picks on DL, even given that we expect the overall hit rate to be 1 in 2 or 1 in 3. Let's hope it starts to pay off at some point in the future. The VERY NEAR future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I feel very bad for Etienne, even if I thought he was overdrafted, and it sucks to have his career start this way. I don't feel bad for Urban because he is such a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also good for a drop or two. 'C.J. Spill'em'. 🤨 2010 was a horrible draft for Buffalo but then again it wasn’t surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
