3. Linebacker

Draft Picks Total Value: 1072.2

Draft Picks: Matt Milano (2017), Tanner Vallejo (2017), Tremaine Edmunds (2018), Vosean Joseph (2019)

The linebacker position is another one that the Buffalo Bills have invested pretty heavily in under Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. However, similar to cornerback they have found talent in later rounds outside of Tremaine Edmunds, who was a first round pick in 2018 and accounts for 1000 of the points at the position.

When looking at the four players selected at linebacker over this stretch, there isn’t much middle ground as Edmunds and Matt Milano were really good picks while Tanner Vallejo and Vosean Joseph are selections they would likely like to have back. Both Vallejo and Joseph were released after their rookie seasons while Milano has agreed to a contract extension this offseason and Edmunds has been the starting middle linebacker from the first game of his rookie season.
