NFL Draft news: Bills GM takes subtle jab at Devin Singletary, Zack Moss

As the entire league prepares for the upcoming NFL Draft, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane revealed his strategy ahead of the draft later this month. According to this article by Kevin Patra of the NFL Network, Beane doesn't intend to use one of Buffalo's early-round picks into drafting a running back.

“I'm not going into this draft going, ‘Man we got to find some back here in the top few rounds or anything like that,'” Beane said, via New York Upstate.

Beane said that he likes their current crop of running backs. He selected two running backs Devin Singletary in 2019 and Zack Moss last season, both in the third round. Furthermore, they added Matt Breida in the offseason. However, Beane's reasoning as to why he is probably going to pass up grabbing a running back early in the upcoming draft may suggest he took a subtle jab at their running back lineup.

“What does his skill set have in comparison to what we have on the roster?” Beane said of potentially drafting an RB. “Is this player going to do something … I don't think either one of our backs are home run hitters, so is there an elite trait that this guy has and says, ‘Man, he's got something we don't have.' That's probably the conversation, versus, ‘OK, are we going to take the same type of back as Devin, are we gonna take the same type of back Zack? Because even those two guys have different skill sets.”

There's no way to know what exactly Beane meant with his words. Singletary or Moss could take this the wrong way. Maybe perhaps this could light a fire under their belly and eventually turn into the home run hitters that the Bills are looking for.
