BadLandsMeanie Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 He is more than fast enough to cover Gronk. He is very raw but pass coverage is a strength already. Maybe Tre White won't have to cover Gronk as much next year. See how Gronk likes 6 foot 5, 250 pound Mr Edmunds instead 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Goat Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Gronk also has to face Minkah Fitzpatrick twice a year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thats the first thing I thought when I saw that pick. He is the Bills answer to the Gronk. I've wished we had someone like Edmunds for years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I doubt Beane was thinking about Gronk. The Bills badly needed a MLB and Edmunds was obviously the guy they were targeting for the position by the move up to grab him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think it would be peculiar of Beane wasn't thinking about Gronk? He eats us up alive regularly. And teams do think about how to handle division opponenets. Plus Edmunds is not great against the run yet. But he is great against the pass. I hope to heck it crossed his mind man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gronk is only one guy, but I get your point. I doubt Beane, or most GMs for that matter, draft to counter one guy on an opposing team. Get to Brady, and you neutralize Gronk.

Manther Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Edmunds is so exciting for sooo many reasons! PS. He has a similar face and nose to Talley?! Yes, no? Edited April 28, 2018 by Manther 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Honestly just watching the interview on the Bills app with Allen and Edmunds standing next to each other, I'm a little shocked how much Edmunds actually dwarfs the biggest QB in this draft class. I'm excited!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Maybe the NFL will allow Gronk to carry a knife or something since he wasn't even able to injure a corner with the quarter panel he wears on his "injured" elbow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You blitz that guy and he eats you alive. We need front 4 pressure. 6 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: Maybe the NFL will allow Gronk to carry a knife or something since he wasn't even able to injure a corner with the quarter panel he wears on his "injured" elbow.

ALF Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Edmunds is tall enough and fast to cover just about any TE or any receiver in red zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how Gronk likes 6 foot 5, 250 pound Mr Edmunds instead There's still that "Borg Club" the NFL authorizes him to wear. I think they should allow DB to carry a baseball bat to compensate. The punishment for Gronk should not have been suspension for 1 game, but removal of his brace permanently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
