Doubt Buffalo is talking him as he's had very little contact with them, a brief conversation at the combine. Either BUF is putting up a smoke screen or they aren't very interested in him. He only had one big year in college and has only limited experience in catching the ball out of the backfield. I see that a a positive - a lot of tread left on the tires The former could be true. There's been a lot of evidence of Beane taking guys they never met with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake_My_Head Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 So, of the Bill's 30-visits so far, three have been RBs, with Hall being the latest. It certainly seems like Beane is sending a message about upgrading the running game (particularly to Zach Moss 😛). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way to be able to be able to pay your premium players is to keep the RB room cheap and they have and I think will continue to do so.

That's a pretty powerful (and motivating) message to both guys. Hope it has the desired effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you put all the puzzle pieces up it looks like we are def drafting a RB - The talke Travis E. last year - Bringing in Mcktrick - I actually like Duke.....and think he will have something to say about how this goes down with his play - Would not shock me to see one of Hall, Walker, Cook drafted 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a lot of evidence of Beane taking guys they never met with. The only guy he’s taken in the 1st rd who didn’t have a top 30 visit was Rousseau, and they didn’t do them last year due to covid. It’s hard to tell what type of meaning these visits have though predictively beyond day 1 because a lot of the guys the bring in will be gone by the time they pick on day 2.

Hall and Walker are good backs. But they aren't on the level of prospects that the two that went in the First last season were. You do NOT take one in the First Round.

Exactly why Beane won't take Hall at 25. Agreed We can add Ezekiel Elliott, Barkley, McCaffrey, Melvin Gordon etc. The two best backs in the league (Henry and Taylor) were second round picks. Seems picks 40-50 are the sweet spot for getting better odds of finding a 'stud RB' Even then plenty of other exellent RBs taken later (Kamara, Pollard etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can’t do better than Singletary and Moss? Breece Hall is elite. I agree that we need all of those things, but Breece Hall is the next Marshawn Lynch. I want to have an elite running back to pair with Allen. To the bolded... that is a HIGHLY opinionated statement.

They aren’t similar in the least other than weight and catching ability imo. Lynch was much shiftier coming out of college and not nearly as fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 In an interview, McDermott was asked if he could add a former Bills player to this roster who would it be. He said Thurman Thomas!! Very similar players IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time TC starts, the RB room will be set. The message will be sent post-draft if an RB is actually selected in the early rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The main reason RB is a low cost position is because young players can make an immediate impact. But you have to good young players to follow that strategy. Its not crazy to spend even a first on the RB, if that person can be a top 5 to 10 RB immediately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He heard the Travis talk last year was not a ton by the FO and that he would not have been the pick unless several other players were gone. The RBs they actually have signed are all low end RBs. He said reading the tea leaves - he expects RB 3rd round or later and more of a receiver. We will see, but unless Hall falls a long way and other guys are picked - I think this is not a match.
