C+ ? I don't see how this draft could be less than a B.

Expand  

It's a C if you think RT and edge rusher needed to be addressed and you think Fromm is a waste of pick. Also maybe if you don't include Diggs.

For me I'm fine with Ford at RT. Epenesa is a solid if not dynamic choice. I would have preferred an OTlate but getting Adam's in UDFA is cool.

Only miss is a punter.

I went with a B. Diggs, Epenesa, Moss and maybe Bass will all have immediate impacts

Ok, but I don't see how a fifth rounder can be seen as a waste.

 

Would have been pretty incredible to draft both s kicker and a punter. Not sure teams would be willing to invest that much into the kicking game.

 

If edge was a need, they drafted Epenesa...

Way too much was made about Fromm in the fifth. A winning QB from a big time program with good backup potential is a decent pick in the fifth. Way too many people hate that pick.

I feel like all the analysts wanted him to go to a QB needy team. And when the Bills drafted him that automatically meant backup. That's the only reason why I can think of all the analysts saying they are "so surprised" he landed with the Bills.

I completely agree on taking chances on day 3.

The 4-3 edge player needs to have some pass rush ability.  Epenesa doesn't have the speed to be a great pass rusher.  He should be a very good run stopper with 4-5 sacks a year.

These “grades” crack me up. If a team drafts according to a draftnik’s predictions (usually erroneously based solely on need), then that team gets an A. If a team should go outside of their faulty predictions, then they get knocked down a grade or two. Nice. 
 

Simple fact is, it will be a few years before this draft can be adequately evaluated. Just like it’s always been.

I disagree. He doesn't have 40 speed, but from what I have watched he has good burst off the line and makes quick moves to rush the passer. And he has great technique. He looks fluid. I also saw him TRIPLE teamed, at times.

 

My opinion, and honestly it isn't worth much, I think when analysts are doing those draft do-overs a couple years from now Epanesa will be one of those that goes WAY higher. I think we got a steal.

 

By far, the player I am most excited about for the Bills contributing immediately (and in the future, BTW) is Epanesa. But hey, I've been wrong before.

Double digit sacks isn't "some pass rush ability"?
