Watching the Holiday Bowl AJ Epenesa

I'm an iowa native, this guy is nothing but hard working and never stops his motor.  He is only a jr and has a decision to come out or not.  I expect him to enter the draft but his up bringing and work ethic he may stay to get his degree.  He will be a late 1st round draft pick.

I guess if we take care of our offensive needs in free agency a blue collar tough as nails defensive end does kinda fit Buffalo perfectly

I think the Bills are ready for a beastly quick twitch athlete that plays outside, I tuned into the game after seeing his post. This guy looks like another lunch pail carrying DE, not a beast and not explosive.

I really hope this draft just falls in a way that a WR is a no brainer.......

 

We keep overlooking it.....and every year its an issue WE NEED A NUMBER ONE RECEIVER......Brown is a fine 2....we have NO size at the position.....its needed.

 

I dont want to reach....but its a deep WR draft and there should be some excellent choices available

Really hoping this is the year we address pass catcher's in a big way

It makes far sense to go Edge in round 1.

 

There are so many WRs the drop off between late round 1 and 2 is pretty marginal, unlike the Edge rushes where there isn't much outside round 1

Stop spending all the prime picks on D if you want the O to improve

History has shown the difference in production in round 1 versus later rounds is far bigger for Edge than WR. Indeed the recent league history of round 1 WR success is terrible. Furthermore you have to look at draft value. In round 2 there will be loads of good WRs in this draft, there won't be Edge guys

Would be great if he's there for us.

I don't think Epenesa gets anywhere close to where the Bills are drafting. Tristan Wirfs is a beast too. He'd fit right in at right tackle and allow a move of Ford inside where he belongs.

 

Not a Wirfs fan, saw him and the rest of their line get abused by Penn st, especially by DT Robert Windsor who looked like a super star in that game.

WR Laviska Shenault 6'2" 220 Colorado

 

Explosive, dynamic, great return man, could do some real damage.

John, I really don’t follow you and others on this ‘screaming’ need. With rare exception, (L. Fitz) they’re mostly premadonnas with a ‘drop ratio’ similar to our current starters. Speaking of which, they’re both enjoying their finest seasons in the League.?

 

Depth? Sure! Depth with great speed? Fabulous. Depth w/ great speed and tall w/ a huge catch radius? Thank you, Santa! But Brown & Beasley are excellent WRs and would start on most every team. I don’t see the clamoring ‘hope in a big way’.

Didn't watch a ton of Iowa all year but Wirfs looked really good last night vs USC. Extremely mobile and athletic for a big guy, pulling and leading plays and was a sturdy run blocker and good pass protector. The Iowa offense looked nothing like what I had seen earlier this year. They had a ton of speed and explosiveness and their QB was accurate. Loved their TE who is only a freshman but looked like he was next in a line of a great group of Iowas TE's that preceeded him. All the mock drafts I've seen have Wirfs in the 15-20 range in the first round.

He’s my favorite receiver in this draft if he played at a place like Bama and not a rebuilding Colorado program he’d easily go top ten

fair enough, cant judge a guy on one game, guess i want a real stud over there instead of the mediocrity we've had there since Howard Ballard left.
