Mr. K Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Guy looks pretty solid on the highlight packages. Looks a little sluggish at times but seems to have a knack of getting to the ball. Looks like a solid tackler. Time will tell. This is the first draft where i've be able to sit back and watch it unfold without seeing names go without a little envy.

BillsMafia13 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Can’t believe all the “how are we going to score points”. We spent a first on a top 15 WR, a back up rb is not going to blow the doors off that much. Great pick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny33 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 3 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: Huh? Where do we need an upgrade on offense? Why are people so freaking out about offense? Our top 3 WR's are LOCKED. No rookie is getting time. We already have a young TE in Knox, and another in Sweeney. Our OL is well stocked. We have a lead RB and our QB. So can someone please explain to me why everyone is so panicked about the offense? The ONLY thing we need is a COMPLIMENT to Devin. We have a STARTING RB. There are a TON of RB's on the board and one will certainly be there in the 3rd. Yet at DE, our starters are a combined 66 years old. AJ Espensa is a first round grade who we got at pick 54 at a big position of need, especially going forward after just this next year. Our OL isn’t that good. Spain and Feliciano are just OK, and Ford is a huge question mark. Maybe Robert Hunt would have been their guy if he was still on the board, and I guess Beane didn’t see anyone else that could be an elite guard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 12 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I'm kind of surprised, based on what I've heard he's a lot like Shaq Lawson. I don't hate the pick or anything, I just didn't think he would fit our defense. Lawson was under rated for us IMO. Would love to have higher sack numbers from this guy but honestly as a second round pick if he has the same production as Shaq that wouldn't be bad. Shaq just wasn't worth $10 million per year without the consistent sack numbers. Had he been available to us for around $5 million per year he'd probably still be here. We had Shaq for 4 years for $10 million on his rookie deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) What did the best offensive line prospects in the draft have to say about AJ...well you can read here and see what this is a GREAT pick: That's what we saw. But what we heard during interviews with the offensive players who faced him was a very different story. Michigan left tackle Jon Runyan, who provides deeply technical insights into his opponents, said Epenesa was tied with Ohio State's Chase Young as the two toughest defenders he ever faced. "A.J. exploits the weakness of what I play," Runyan said. "I'm a vertical setter, and the weakness of a vertical set is what A.J. loves to do: bull rush with a one-armed stab. He's able to catch me leaning a lot, catch me off guard. Early in the [2019 Michigan vs. Iowa] game, the first three or four drives, I wasn't really keying on his shoulders. He started running downhill, and I wasn't able to get my hips down and react to the bull rush." Purdue tight end Brycen Hopkins also singled out Epenesa as one of the toughest defenders he ever faced, adding a most unusual compliment to his scouting report: "I thought he was a great player. He was physical, but at the same time he's a cool guy. He wasn't a jerk out there. ... So I thought he was a great player, great guy. He came off the ball with an explosive power." And then there's teammate Tristan Wirfs, one of the stars of Friday night's offensive line workouts. Wirfs didn't hesitate to name Epenesa as the toughest defender he ever faced. Sure, he may be a teensy bit biased, but players rarely single out teammates when answering "toughest opponent" questions. "We had some battles," Wirfs said. "When I met with the Broncos, they said a scout was there [at Iowa practice] and I didn't lose to A.J. So I said, 'I'm glad you were there on that day.'" "It goes back and forth, me and him," Wirfs added. "He was one of my best friends on the team. We will try to help each other get better. If he sees something that he beat me on, he'll tell me what he saw. And when I beat him, I tell him what I saw." So Epenesa earned glowing endorsements from a first-round-caliber teammate and two of the guys who had to block him, and those were just the remarks we heard while making the interview rounds. If you don't believe Runyan, Hopkins and Wirfs, there's also the production across two seasons against major competition. And also there's the tape, which shows opponents redesigning their offenses to corral him. At one point against Minnesota, for example, Epenesa was chipped by the tight end before a route, and then chipped by a running back before a route, with the left tackle backing up to engage Epenesa after he worked his way through that whole bag of chips. (It's at the 2:09 mark on this cutup.) Edited April 25, 2020 by Alphadawg7 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par73 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I would describe Epenesa as "plodding." Definitely not a dynamic pass rusher (otherwise wouldn't have been available here). I am not a fan. For those talking about RB-- I loved Dobbins, but knew the Bills wouldn't address the position in the 2nd round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
