BillsFanSD Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 If we draft this guy and he's the second coming of Emmitt Smith, wonderful. But goodness gracious. Between Robinson, Cook, Moss, and Singletary, that's a massive amount of draft capital sunk into a devalued position. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if that reality were a lot less predictable by handing it off to a monster. Anything offense in rounds 1-3 is where I’m at. this is major hyperbole and is just not true! 2020 run we had beasley, he was our 'run game'. we havent had that in 2 years, and we had no traditional run game either. nobody is asking for 30 carries a game, but to pretend a complete inability to run the ball has in any way/shape/form has been good for the team is patently false. a respectable run game will not only balance the offense and keep the d honest. it gives josh better audible options at the line. im not in love w/ rb in 1st as a whole, but if we make proper moves in FA, take him and commit to an OL heavy draft 2nd and beyond, id be cool ending this run game search. was anti breece last year, but hindsight he wouldve done a lot for the team 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ones do cost a lot, and stud RBs can be massive difference makers immediately, which is rare with a lot of positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean you ignore the RB room. Just because Dorsey (and Josh) struggled with Hines and Cook doesn't mean that getting a Thunder (R Johnson) would be mishandled. As a 4th rounder complement to the lightning of Cook (and Hines if he takes a reduced salary) there could be good value there. a non-finesse guy like cook takes scheming to use. not saying dorsey wont improve but would be nice for him to have one dimension of the offense be a straight forward, hand in the dirt power running element. thats the "play action" that sets up a lightning runner like cook as a side benefit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Remember when the Bills FO took all Texas players off their draft boards? That is how we wound up with Maybin instead of Orakpo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein's Dog Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 2 hours ago, Bangarang said: It’s not about ignoring RB, it’s about prioritizing our biggest needs. If you feel the need to draft a RB in the 1st round a year after drafting a RB in the 2nd then it’s just bad asset management. Especially when it’s been shown time and time again that you can get quality production out of the RB position without constantly using day 2 picks on them. RB is turning into DL where Beane just throws a ton of resources into the position and still has little to show for it. You can't be seriously whining about the DL. They kept at it because it is hugely important position. The FO finally came up with an excellent group. The DL tinkering/improvement was a large part of the Bills being listed as Superbowl favorites. Injuries took their toll, but when healthy that DL group was rivaling the best the Bills have ever had. Smart FO's put resources into the DL. Where do you think the Bills rank in money allocated to the RB group last season? Bottom 10 probably. And for next season if they go with Cook/restructured Hines/4th rounder R Johnson/ and a waited out, last remaining chair type, veteran FA RB. Once again bottom 10. That would not be a ton of resources into the RB position - actually quite the contrary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cook can be a special talent but only if they seriously address the oline, if they don’t then 17 remains the best option every snap IMHO.

I would have absolutely no problem with Bijan considering the 27th pick is like a 2nd rounder. Then draft OL (Avila) @ 59. I was just at Walter Football’s latest mock. They have Robinson going to the Bears at now #9. All the top wide receivers are gone, so they have the Bills taking DE Tuli Tuipulotu. Buffalo Bills: Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, USC Buffalo's downfall last year began when Von Miller suffered a season-ending injury on Thanksgiving. More pass-rushing depth is needed. Tuli Tuipulotu used his explosion and twist to enjoy an incredible '22 season. Another mock where the creator doesn’t do much homework.
