BuffaloBillyG Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 5 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said: very interesting and unexpected IMO RB room isn't set yet. We have Cook, and Johnson is more a RB3/ST guy IMO. Then we have Evans who should be competing with Johnson. Other than that we need a compliment to Cook in the Murray/Harris role IMO.  Big with big play explosive ability. But I've seen him mocked late 2nd to early 3rd and hoping a RB isn't coming that early with perspective needs at WR, EDGE and Safety.  Still if he slipped to round 4 he would be a really nice pairing with Cook IMO. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back over the years and it's pretty normal for them to bring in middle round guys as well for visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 40 minutes ago, SCBills said: This guy absolutely jumps off the screen anytime you watch FSU. He's likely the first RB off the board, that said I don't want the Bills to take him as happy with Cook as a #1 and adding a mid to late RB2 with size. Isaiah Davis is one of my late favorites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 We met with Audric Estime at the Combine as well. I think we are looking for a guy who fits that power back type of mold. Benson does run with power. We'd have to spend a 2nd on him though and I can't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 This is an extremely weak RB class and these guys will go higher than they should due to lack of depth / talent  To me we should wait until next year once we have Cook figured out so we know what he is. Plus next years RB class is absolutely STACKED.  Not the year to go RB   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Benson looks like an animal and if you let him get going he will punish you. He has to get up to speed though and that is his main problem is his vision is average at best. Â He also runs extremely high for being built like a brick house. Wish he would lower his pads more but he does have breakaway ability and is a pretty good pass catcher out of the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The thing Bills fans haven't been discussing much and probably aren't ready for is this: Joe Brady showed last season that he'd prefer the Bills to feature the run more than they did under Dorsey and Daboll. Their neutral down run rate was much higher under Brady than Dorsey. With this being the case, and with the fact that they're likely gonna need to lean on the run game even more in the absence of Diggs and Davis, and considering that Cook and Johnson are currently the only viable backs on the roster... There is every possibility that the Bills will use a decent draft pick on a running back this year. I'm not saying it's what I would do. I'd be happy to sign a veteran to a one year deal, spend a 7th round pick on one, or sign an undrafted free agent. But in all likelihood, with Brady's proclivity for featuring the run game and with Cook being a smaller back, we may be looking at yet another day two running back addition via the draft. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I like Braelon Allen, but I don't think there's much chance he is available when we might think about taking a RB. And I like Kendall Milton late, though he also has an upright running style.

Gonzonzo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 What about the one who crush the combine, Gerrendo? Anybody think he is good player and a fit to the Bills? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I doubt Benson is in the mix for the Bills considering he just had a great combine and will probably be gone by our 2nd round pick (#60)  I think Audric Estime and Ray Davis are more realistic options as mid-round power backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I'd actually be fine with a RB in the 3rd round if the guy could be a stud. Better than a JAG DL or C who you can get later in the draft. Need impact players.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffAlone Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Love the kid. Not worth a 2nd,and likely not there @ our picks in the 4th. Him or the Estime(spellcheck) would be a perfect counter to Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjv Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Benson is a true three down back. Have seen him play many times. He's good enough to build your offense around him. Similar to Cleveland's Chubb. Â Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2Moulds Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I live in Florida and watch a lot of FSU. This guy is an absolute stud, and probably the best pure back in the draft. Amazing blend of size and speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 At least one online source rates him as a 3rd rounder, where Buffalo lacks any picks. They would have to like him well enough to trade away draft capital to get back into the third round.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Use our 1st round pick to trade back and also get another pick. Get our WR with that trade back. Use the additional pick to trade back up into the 3rd Rnd and grab this guy. I could be happy with that. Two studs to add to the offense. Use the rest of the draft to beef up the D. Beane has a lot of options. I don't think he's going to be willing to give up a bunch of draft capital just for one WR when there will be good ones into the 2nd round.

If it’s more than a few spots, another 2nd.  Commanders and Panthers both have multiple 2nd’s.  I doubt Beane will trade down unless it’s a really good deal for us.  Like  28, 128, 163, late pick next year  for  39 & 44 (Carolina)      1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading a non elite RB with 2 years of his rookie contract in the books is a no brainer all day every day.  I love cook and I think he’s a stud.  He may be top 5 RB in the league, but I don’t see him as elite atm.  The dropped passes and fumbles have been crushing.   I really like Benson.  Possible star for sure.  His style of play scares me though.  So much contact.  So many more opportunities for injury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
