Say what you want, but the Bills have been absolutely on the mark with draft picks in rounds 1-4 since 2017. Look at the contributions of the following in last night’s game:
2021
Rd 1 Rosseau (starter)
Rd 2 Basham (emerging rotational player)
Rd 3 Brown (starter)
Rd 4 no pick
2020
Rd 1 no pick (Diggs - well worth the trade)
Rd 2 Epenesa (emerging rotational player / starter)
Rd 3 Zach Moss (Starter 1A/!B)
Rd 4 Gabriel Davis (strong contributor and likely future starter)
2019
Rd 1 Oliver (starter and maybe going to reach his hype)
Rd 2 Ford (oh well - maybe the Bills missed here though he was a starter)
Rd 3 Singletary (see Moss - starter 1A / !B)
Rd 3 Knox (Starter and showing upside)
Rd 4 no pick
2018
Rd 1 Allen (no comment needed)
Rd 1 Edmunds (I know many argue but has been very strong in coverage)
Rd 3 Phillips (was a starter pre-injury - appears to now not be the same player)
Rd 4 Taron Johnson (Strong contributor in very solid secondary)
Rd 5 Neal (Ok 5th rounder but - ST and other contributor)
2017
Rd 1 White (Among the best at his craft in the league)
Rd 2 Jones (oh welll a whiff here)
Rd 2 Dion Dawkins (Starter)
Rd 3 No Pick
Rd 4 No Pick
Rd 5 Milano (OK 5th rounder but - starter and before the injury this year arguably best LB in the league)
Of the list above only the following did not contribute last night:
- Zay Jones - off the team
- Ford - lost starting job
- Milano - due to injury
Tell me that is not some top notch drafting by Beane and friends. This is how a team is built.
