PIZ Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 If that's the case fine. But rather than waste a pick on Leonard in the first round.....or any early round- I'd rather take a dynamic halfback- that has to be accounted for by the defense. Sorry- no matter the hype I don't see Leonard as that player. I would consider taking him in he 4rth round or lower -though. This is the last I'll say on this. But before you say he's not dynamic look at these: Leonard 3 Leonard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Leonard is a very prolific FB and a quality player. However, he will NOT be a 1st Round pick. If by some miracle he does, he'll sneak into the bottom. But again, I highly doubt that. We'll most likely be picking at 13 or 14. It would be the most ridiculous reach in history if we picked him. Besides, he's not the type of FB that we use in our offense. He's first and foremost a running and recieving FB. His blocking skills are average and he's not that big. If he was available in the 3rd and we addressed needs in Rounds 1 and 2, that would be one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny3000 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 does anyone else want one of those 6'5'' wrs (dwayne jarrett might be around)? Is a DT or OG or someone else we would take at 16 better than one of the two fast awesome 6'5'' wrs that come out once every 3/4 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Just so everyones on the same page....No one is saying the Bills should draft a FB in round one. No one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 FB's are never worth a first round pick. That Heath Evans kid is a phenomenal athlete and he was a 4th round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitner20 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Seems to be a good player, but perhaps a "luxury" pick for an already well-stocked team... Definetly. We have too many needs to be going to upgrade the FB position. He is a late 1st, early 2nd round pick, but it'd be very useless of us to select him with our pick with the type of players available for us to take.

In space no one can hear Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Just so everyones on the same page....No one is saying the Bills should draft a FB in round one. No one. Thanks so much for clearing that up. You would think that might be on someones mind though-especially since the title of this thread is: Brian Leonard - FB - Rutgers, Good enough for a 1st round pick?

The title may have thrown people off, but the question was really just "is he good enough to go in the first round", but not necessarily to Buffalo in the first round.

clumping platelets Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I believe Leonard is a late 1st-early 2nd rd pick................would love to see him here in Buffalo and YES, I would take him if it was determined he was the best value on the draft board..........

generaLee83 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Seems to be a good player, but perhaps a "luxury" pick for an already well-stocked team... On Marv's watch I think luxury picks are a thing of the past. I would love to have an offensive FB (one that gains yardage on passes and runs) but I think this years draft will focus on a CB and the lines.

They drafted 3 DBs in the first four picks last season and Nate's replacement was one of them. No way do they focus on drafting a CB, they instead will focus on drafting players that will help stop opposing RBs from running the ball down their throats.
