Logic Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, NewEra said: Scoring TDs doesn’t equate to having good power and contact balance. He’s a great fit in a zone scheme and a very poor fit in power scheme To be fair to Hall, his scouting report from Lance Zierlein on NFL.com says this: Strengths - Has the size of a high-volume back. - Touchdown monster from all ranges. - Finished career with five touchdown runs of 75 or more yards. - Gets around the field with good bend and balance. - Recognizes lane development before it happens. - Changes foot cadence for unpredictable burst point. - Sets up second-level tacklers to fail. - Patient behind lead blockers, steering them into defenders. - Makes rhythmic cuts with no loss of speed to beat open-field tacklers. - Powerful base absorbs contact and stays on his feet. - Drops pads and hammers through tacklers while falling forward. - Set of skills to become an above-average third-down option. and his scouting report from Dane Brugler, whose draft analysis I really respect, says this: "Drops his pads and finishes with contact balance, not making it easy on tacklers".

I can cite busts at any position if I want to say no 1st rounder is ever worth the risk. For years there were advocates of never drafting a 1st round QB making similar comments to your post. Thankfully Beane didn't agree with them. Yes, we’ve already went over the fact that there are points and counterpoints to every argument made….. Regarding the bolded…….just WOW. You’re comparing a thought process of 30-50 years ago to now regarding not drafting QBs in rd 1.

Beane knows this and I'd be shocked if he was the pick. Bingo! I agree with you 100% again. I think the only way we get Hall or KWIII is in ONE draft scenario (and another unlikely scenario). 1. We can't find a trade partner to trade up for a cornerback. --- AND 2. Beane doesn't like the options at 25 and CAN find a trade down partner to target Hall or KWIII (plus get an extra second rounder in the process) Unlikely - Hall or KWIII last until our second round pick. Then you just have to jump all over that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of a 5th year option and a second contract make it not worth it. You overpay even if he is good - the cost versus return on 1st round backs is terrible. 5 hours ago, Albany,n.y. said: We're not drafting in the top 10 anymore. People need to realize that when your team is drafting near the end of the 1st round you will not get to draft again until the late 2nd round and if the sweet spot for RBs is early 2nd round if you want one you either use a 1st rounder or lose the player. You can't count on a trade up or trade down.

Interesting idea though. I think that the FO thinks more about whether a player will help the team win superbowls moreso than thinking about 5th year options. If a bon afide PLAYMAKER can be added, I think they just go get 'em. I agree with this view of Beane. I was very skeptical about him early on but he's proven that he's not only all about building a winning team but really good at it, so I'm good with whomever he takes in the first round although my personal preference would be IOLers Zion Johnson or Tyler Linderbaum if they're available. As for the fifth year option argument, I think it's overblown. With first round draft picks expected to start contributing as rookies, teams generally know what they have in a player well before they have to make a decision on a fifth year option.

buffalo2218 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 As I have already pointed out, I'm not very draft inclined compared to a lot of you guys. I've seen arguments for everyone's pick. At the end of the day, I'll put my trust in Beane. If we trade up for a corner, I'll be good with that. I'm not very on board with taking a WR given the emergence of Davis and the resigning of Diggs. I also believe McKenzie will fill Beasley's role better than a lot of people think. The man's proven himself, so much so that he's become a Patriot killer. But if we do take a corner at 25, I just hope it won't be taking one for the sake of taking one. If Breece Hall is the pick, I won't hate it. I'm not on that RBs are a dime a dozen train. Call it what you want, RBs are capable of contributing to wins. Hall could very well fit right in, not just because of his talent, but how much better he could be in a Josh Allen run offense.

BrainwashedBillsFan Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 5 hours ago, Rochesterfan said: Nope - that is about o-line. Singletary currently averages just short 4.8 YPC for his career. Other recent 1st round picks like Najee Harris and CEH are both well below that average. Nothing that I have seen from Walker or Hall suggests they will be better. Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry are excellent, but both benefit from superior run blocking o-lines - as shown when Henry missed time and the running game handled by low level back-ups was just as good. You want to control the clock and burn time - then you want o-line in the first not RB. That helps you more on many levels in my opinion. 4.8 YPC but how many carries? The stats don’t tell the whole story especially in this story. Your telling me that Walker and Hall aren’t better than Singletary lol, that’s comical. So essentially it wouldn’t matter if we had a Jonathan Taylor in our backfield either right? Cause all that matters is our Oline 🙄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking replacement for Motor after this season. He makes quick cuts, possibly faster than Motor, and is a tank. I'm fine running with just Motor this year honestly, but if we were to go RB early, this would be my guy 4 minutes ago, JaCrispy said: You wouldn’t hear me complaining...👍 I Think Kenneth Walker runs a bit like shady He's a compact runner with really good quickness and speed He can hit the cut back and has the speed to bounce it outside I think he's a little bit more one cut than shady , but he has that creative can make something out of nothing style Impressive ability to change directions and even finish with some power He would be a great second round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mccoy rarely ever lowered the shoulder and tried to deliver the blow. Walker brings it…..which could eventually be a detriment to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shady actually didn't shy away from contact at pitt He had an impressive contact balance and ability to run through arm tackles I do think Walker has more physicality and squares up on a better angle... While he might not have the lateral quickness of shady, I do think he brings more thunder at the point of contact like you said Edited April 20, 2022 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
