dgrochester55 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Diggs might be a great WR a some point. Who are the other 2?? Brown and Beasley? Come on.. Great RB? He had 12.5 caries a game and even at that led the league in % carries fumbled. No team has three true #1 caliber receivers just lying around. Diggs is a #1, Brown and Beasley are good options and 2 and 3. Many non Bills fans think that this is one of the better trios out there. Keep in mind what we had at the position in 2017 and 2018. We do need a running back at some point, but many good running backs have been drafted in the mid rounds. As far as Epenasa, seems safe and not flashy, but McDermott and Beane a good track record on picks so far, so I trust them on this Edited April 25, 2020 by dgrochester55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Schobel was one of our most underrated DE's ever, probably because he was a bright spot on an otherwise dismal team(s). Aaron Schobel was a beast. He used to get crucified because he didn't "hold up well at the point of attack." I like DE's who fly after QB's, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of Mario Addison. This is such an amazing cess piece to add to an already scaryyyyy line. He lines up everywhere!

He will set the edge and be a solid replacement for Murphy by game 8. He makes the front 7 younger. Still yime to get an OLB and RB Never said nor dare compared him to my all time favorite Bill.

Pretty hilarious. If any one of us actually knew anything we likely would be employed in the NFL. Some folks know a bit, some don't. But by and large none of us know squat about NFL talent evaluation. If we did, we would be working in the NFL. Everyone's an expert these days. Anyone still work for you? Poor things!

That’s a fallacy, Epensa may not be fast but he has a good first step, really good technique and hand usage, strength , fantastic size, coaches son and really good production. I think there is a good chance he will be a 10+ sack guy in the NFL. Now you've got me worried. I've heard this before. Fool me once ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 At the end of the day, the Bills’ top remaining need after acquiring Diggs was an edge player. They got one who many thought would go in round 1, who had great college production. His floor is Shaq Lawson, his ceiling is Cam Jordan. He was the legit BPA. DE is a higher value position than HB. It just is. Whats not to like? 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 2 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Come on....back up your post! No need to run away. No one is regarding Brown and Beasley as "possibly great"---a d that's OK. And Singletary has a LONG way to go to be considered such. All of this is obvious. No need for silly hyperbole. I hate being challenged like this?- Brown is great(top 20 in entire NFL) and Beasley is good. Arguing Diggs is not great means you think only a few WR are great. Singletary is great and I will state based on last 8 games last year. I will also state that no one drafted at 54 will be a starter on this team this year without injury. Lastly many people are predicting Buffalo to the SB next year due to our offense being better, so the hyperbole is not just me but several non Bills fans.

BigDingus Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Without Shaq Lawson & Jordan Phillips, I really hope the line with Oliver & Espenesa can still keep up solid pressure. I know we weren't terrorizing the league with nonstop sacks, but we managed to get decent pressure with 4 man fronts often enough that our secondary benefited tremendously. Like the pick, seems like a solid addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comebackkid Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 so one thing i noticed about aj that actually reminded me of Bruce is the way he tackles..he gets high up on the shoulders and wraps his apponents up...this way he has a leverage/weight advantage over them...watch highlights about Bruce and he loved to tackle this way. Also you cant over rate a colllege player with a strong skill set. A player with strong athletism sometimes doesnt develop the skills and then age erodes that speed leaving a slow untalented player. im excited to see what he can do. right now with a more than likey short off season and everything up in the air a player with a strong skillset is going to dominate as a rookie. if Beane is happy im happy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I get the people trying to label AJ as a LDE given his height and lack of umm...burst, but he definitely looks capable and if not him @ RDE then whom?

Hoping the combine was an aberration. His combine had no bearing on my take as we have to take the underwear olympics with a grain of salt. It’s just that little about his game jumped out at me when I watched his games and video. I think he can be a passable rotation player, and that DOES have value in this defense, but he’s not an explosive pass rusher who is going to make impact plays. Dependable players have their place, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkollidas Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I’m happy with it. If they’re allowed to keep 55 on the roster as opposed to 53, I could see them keeping 10 defensive linemen.
