Now, what would have been interesting is if Diggs would have lasted to 54. Epenesa or Diggs? Probably still Epenesa How do you know Epenesa was rated higher on the Bills board?

The top picks on our big board were actually all the players we drafted, and then all the other players. This was likely Beane’s Big Board: Epenesa Moss Davis Fromm Bass Hodgins Jackson Burrow Young etc etc. Just a tremendous job done by the Bills yet again.

Billzgobowlin Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 My guess is they had a plan to make him the big nickel back that McDermott was talking about. He referred to Siran Neal filling that role and I am assuming they wanted to upgrade there. That would probably be higher importance than a rotational DE of which they already took care of in Free Agency

Or about the same as a rotational DE would get.

And why wasn't Santiago packed?
