4. Tremaine Edmunds

For the second time in this list, the first round picks from 2018 show up as the Buffalo Bills selected middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds with the 16th overall pick.

The former Virginia Tech star came in almost immediately and took over the starting middle linebacker job. He has been a staple of one of the best defenses in the league and this past year even played every defensive snap for this team.

He has consecutive seasons with over 100 total tackles and made the Pro Bowl this past year. The best part, and this is what Bills fans should be the most excited about, is that he is only going to be 22 years old entering the 2020 season.

Edmunds is a long, athletic linebacker that can get sideline to sideline. He has picked up this defense and is responsible for calling out adjustments on the field. There is no question that he should be a major part of this team for years to come.
