With that in mind why would you question this pick?  Boom, roasted?

I wouldn’t have wanted Epenesa at 22, but I’m happy to get him at 54.  It took me some time to come around on him because I didn’t understand what a power DE should look like.  He’s going to be a good player and it’s definitely a position of need.  

I can recall some sites predicting the Bills to take this player at #22 so I'm happy.

 

Kinda surprised Beane stayed put at 54. Thought he would move up.  

 

Gotta love those Samoans!

D was fantastic, but the DL was a bit lacking.   That was addressed this offseason. 
 

OL has a full year of continuity. Ford is no longer a rookie. 
 

Diggs is generally considered a Top 10 WR. Brown is a Top 10 #2.  Cole Beasley is a very good slot.  
 

Knox is no longer a rookie at a position that usually takes time to transition.  
 

Singletary no longer a rookie, and we likely upgrade RB2 from what Gore gave us.  
 

Josh Allen - Year 3

 

WHAT DO YOU WANT!?!?

 

Heaven help me if you say Denzel friggin Mims...

 

I would taken Dobbins.  Scroll up.  Difference maker now.

solid player - drop had to do with subpar combine where he ran 5.0+ 40 and only 17 bp - but looking at the edge taken before him his stats are just as good if not better and they didnt run or bp at the combine and or pro days canceled....was the top rated DE coming out of HS, one year starter yet his stats compare or better than those edge taken above him...athletic genes family is very good athletes including the ladies...one our existing DEs has to go; Trent and the cap savings or last year 7th rounder D Johnson...

Who said he wasn’t athletic? Do I need to go through this thread and issue citations? 

Only the between-GM-jobs geniuses who recognize that 40 times are clearly the only metric that matter for 280 pound linemen who merely...ugh...produce result on the field.

The GM completely disagrees with you.  Why would I believe you over Beane?

If the GM disagreed with me he would have made sure he drafted a playmaker. But I assume you mean what has been said the past two months, and I know you are old enough to remember 1998 and know that GM lie more than truth telling once the season ends.

Allen to play better, Knox to catch the ball, and a disruptive pass rusher. Maybe that will be Oliver.

Not sure what 1998 was, but everybody who watched the Bills knows their struggle to score is what limited their advancement.  This isn't even a bit difficult to understand.

I like Dobbins too, but we can get a way better RB now through tomorrow than we can an Epenesa-type DL talent.

Not athletic, my ass.

He has decent agility for his position so I can see why he has some athleticism, but his poor 10 and 20 yard split times in slow 40 indicate a lack of explosion as does his poor bench performance. And that lack of explosion shows up in his game video as well.
 

I’m not gonna say he won’t be a contributor like Lawson in a rotation and I can even see him moving inside in obvious passing situations, but I don’t see an elite pass rusher off the edge at this time. He’s got decent hands though, so I’m hoping he can offset some of that lack of explosion with dominant hand work.

Brown has been around for 6 years and barely hit 1000 yards twice. For a team's leading receiver, that's nothing these days.   Singletary had one 100 yard game over the last 8 games.

 

Ok...everyone is great.  Just because.

 

 

Yes, I made all of that up.  LOL

If you cant see that Smoke had an excellent season last year in Buffalo.....you are lost

 

If you cant see that Devin is a productive back.....you are lost
