Bills’ needs in the draft
Pass rusher: Buffalo’s pass rush left a lot to be desired last season. The Bills tied for 15th in sacks and 16th in total pressures, according to Sportradar. Their inability to get pressure with four rushers led them to blitz at a higher rate than they had at any point in Sean McDermott’s time as head coach. They drafted A.J. Epenesa in the second round a year ago, but pass rush should still be on their radar early in the draft. It’s not easy to find an impact pass rusher late in the first round or beyond, but the Bills have to keep taking swings to find impact players off the edge.
