Bradlee Anae took a big workload for the Utes in college and still produced… he didn’t slow down. That could be something that transfers well to the Bills because of the rotation they run along the defensive line. Anae will be fresh in Buffalo. His expertise is also pass rushing. Anae has a good arsenal of pass rush moves, which helped him notch 13 sacks and 14 tackles for loss with a forced fumble during his 12-game senior season.

While Anae could be technically sound with a couple of moves rushing the passer, he isn’t the most speedy guy with his NFL ready frame of 6-foot-3, 257 pounds. If he speed doesn’t keep up in the pros, setting the edge against the run might become a problem, which also keeps him currently in the mid-round range.
