The 2020 NFL Draft has passed.
The Buffalo Bills made their picks and have a whole new slew of players joining their team. So of course there’s some things to consider.
Here are 10 takeaways from the Bills’ work at the 2020 draft:
Bring AJ along slowly
AJ Epenesa started things off for the Bills in terms of players picked. As a second-round pick that had a Day 1 grade from many draft analysts and outlets alike, Epenesa could come to Orchard Park and make a near immediate impact.
But don’t expect it.
Epenesa enters a veteran room. At the top is Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison. Both of those guys have some juice left in the tank, but they’re veterans and well over 30 already. Epenesa will see the field, just not as much. Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott runs a rotation along his defensive line, with the starters seeing about a 60-70 percent of snaps in games. Epenesa will get the opposite and then in the future will be in-line for more. No pressure for the rookie to produce right away.
