Buffalo Bills: DL A.J. Epenesa
The Bills come into 2020 with a fine defense, but they needed to get younger and stronger on the edge, and they did that by taking Epenesa, the Iowa alum, with the 54th overall pick in the second round. When you watch pass-rushers, you tend to want them to explode off the tape. And perhaps that’s why Epenesa fell out of the first round. His production has been highly impressive — he had 58 total pressures in 2019 — but he’s smoother and more powerful than he is quick. Epenesa also has the strength to kick inside, which will make him an ideal force in Sean McDermott’s defense. Epenesa brings Trey Flowers to mind with his ability to press guards with power and surprise tackles with technique.
