Italian Bills Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 He’s a beast and looks like a JJ Watt type of player. Considering Von will probably be out long time, we need another edge that can go after the QB consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Love him. I watch a ton of Iowa to study OL stuff. Van Ness is going to go mid 1st. If he test well, gonna be top ten imo. I’ll take Jack Campbell though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the Loch Ness Monster is known as "Nessie" and that does not sound like a tough football guy sort of name. "Hey guys, did you see Nessie on that play! He killed the quarterback!" 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samwell Tarly Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Will most likely be long gone by the time the Bills pick. That being said I'm not sure dropping yet another 1st round pick on D-line is a great idea. Some teams believe that improving offensive talent in a league that rewards offense is a good idea .

schoolhouserock Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 That Iowa defense was fantastic this past season. Almost made it to the B1G championship game with a historically bad offense. And by historically bad, I mean that offensive unit was one of the worst offenses in over 100 years of B1G football. At one point in the season, I believe Iowa had the #1 scoring defense combined with the last place scoring offense. If not, it was very close to being the case. Unreal. Van Ness was definitely a solid contributor to that defense. It was a surprise to most Hawkeye fans that he went ahead and declared for the NFL draft. He just finished his redshirt sophomore season so most folks figured they’d have him around for at least one more season. Seeing him projected to the first round, however, makes it a little less surprising. Even as a Hawkeye fan, I am not sure I understand how pundits are so high on Van Ness. For my eyes, I saw AJE as a more dominant defensive lineman during his Iowa days. Perhaps Van Ness projects better to the NFL? I don’t know. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we Draft a 3rd Defensive End in 4 years with our top pick (not including also our 2nd pick in 2021) - I think the fan base would revolt.

MrEpsYtown Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Van Ness is a nice prospect. I will say that a lot of his pressures/sacks come from lining up inside on the guard on passing downs. This was something that the Bills were allegedly going to do with AJ Epenesa and Boogie Basham, and we have seen none of that. I think he is better than both of those guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeckMonster Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 No thanks on Van Ness. Good prospect but we need a blur off the edge. Already have 3 ‘bull rush’ DEs in Epenesa, Groot, Basham, that aren’t effective rushing inside or out. Campbell is a stud. Could be a replacement for Tremaine as a rookie. Big, fast, great in zone coverage. But… i would just go Offense first 2-3 rounds. Give Josh everything he needs and try to out-score people. We’ve invested a ton on Defense and offered zero resistance the past 2 playoff losses. Time to stop throwing good $ after bad. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing with that is Edmunds & Poyer more than likely won't be back so there are other holes that are more of a priority than D line which the Bills have invested in heavily the last couple of years plus the players that won't be back on the offensive side of the ball if he were to fall into the later rounds maybe but i'm to seeing that happen .
