Of course I’m joking though, of course I would rather benefit the Bills but it’s not like I hate him like Travis Kelce, or Patrick Mahomes. So I would like him to recover from his injury. I was just going back and looking also, he likely wouldn’t have been the rushing leader. But he absolutely was in the conversation of OROTY. You were correct. And the Jets nailed that draft.

I was just going back and looking also, he likely wouldn’t have been the rushing leader. But he absolutely was in the conversation of OROTY. He looked great. I don’t remember anyone saying he wasn’t a very good/great back. Just that he wasn’t worth taking in rd 1. Especially when there were 2 backs very close in ability (Walker- and he was a a stud too). The jets didn’t think he was worth a frost rd pick either. They passed on him 3 times before pulling the trigger on the trade. as you know. I don’t think he proved that he was worthy of our first rd pick. Elam made the biggest play of the game to help up win in KC and James cook average 5.7 ypc.

His first few games were definitely worrisome. But he came on like gang busters after a few games. Started to pick up steam for sure. Who really knows though, he very well could have down the stretch. He was gaining more carries per game every game until his injury. Averaging nearly 1 TD a game and seeing some high usage in the air (which we already knew he was capable of). https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/rookie-running-backs-to-rush-for-more-than-1000-yards-in-rookie-season He’s in great company, list correlates well to a decent career.

I think the argument if he would have been worth it would have been put to bed had he not been injured and continued as he was performing through his first few games. But you will always find people that refuse to believe in a RB in the first round. hilariously, I am not all in on Robinson this year. I don’t see what makes him special. I get that everyone is saying he’s the best back to come out since Saquan. I just don’t see it when I watch him. I think there’s 2-3 backs that will end up being better from this years draft. But it also all depends on what teams pick them up and who they have to compete with. Chances are Robinson will go to a team that showcases him more than any other back this year.

I like robinsons agility for a dude that big. Great explosion and maximizes yards. I think Gibbs could be a top 3-5 back in the league depending on where he ends up. He’s really impressive to me. Haven’t really dig in and watched many this year. Now that we have Harris, I don’t think we’d go RB before rd 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could get Kendre Miller in the 4th or 5th or Rochon Johnson in the 5th or 6th I’d say do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
