17 sacks in 2021 and 18 sacks in 2023 LOLLL

More productive at Troy than Osi Umenyiora and Demarcus Ware.

Undersized speed rusher with insane college production. Developmental pass rush guy with outrageous "Steal" potential.


I think he’s got great upside but I think they can also just get value from him being a solid rotational DE. His rookie year hopefully he can take those Shaq Lawson snaps and be productive in a niche role

Yeah it’s the 1st and 2nd rounders they have problems finding. 
 

let’s not even get into the 17 RBs they’ve taken in the 3rd round only to let them go after 2 years. 

Zack Moss.  What are the other 16?

More productive at Troy -- a known producer of quality Edge rushers in the past -- than Osi Umenyiora and Demarcus Ware.

Undersized speed rusher with insane college production. Developmental pass rush guy with outrageous "Steal" potential.

We already have guys in Rousseau and Epenesa who are more on the powerful, edge setting side of things. Now we have a guy who can be tutored by Von Miller and has the potential to be a long term pass rush specialist. 
 

I like it.

 

Agree with all of this except for epenesa setting the edge. He's getting better at it but it's been one of his weaknesses.

End of the 5th round but your point stands it’s a solid pick. The Bills after their top 3 DE’s (Groot, AJE and Von) don’t have much there (Kingsley Jonathan and Toohill neither all that inspiring) so adding someone at the Edge for depth and development is solid. I do wonder if the Bills will look to bring back Shaq or another vet after June 1st? 

I would think they'd add another end to camp. Hopefully this kid is plug and play in which case we have four assuming Von can do anything. I like it.

 

It's looking more and more like our post June 1st moves will need to include a vet wr though.

Picks next year for what? If this year doesn't give you an idea of where we're at...

What do you mean?  You mean if this upcoming year is a disappointment, next year won't matter b/c Beane will be gone? 

 

Or what?
