Could the Buffalo Bills target one of these pass rushers in the 2023 NFL Draft after the Aaron Rodgers trade?
The Buffalo Bills have invested significant draft capital over the years to the defensive end position. The only pick at this point that looks like a home run was Greg Rousseau, who was a first round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
As for A.J. Epenesa, 2020 second round pick, and Boogie Basham, 2021 second round pick, there are concerns as they have shown flashes but have not been nearly as consistent as many would hope. This could force general manager Brandon Beane to once again look to add to the position and that urgency may have picked up with Aaron Rodgers recently being traded to the New York Jets.
This means Buffalo now has two games against Rodgers, along with games against Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, and Trevor Lawrence in the upcoming season. They need a strong pass rush for this defense and with that in mind, these are four pass rushers that may now be moving up their draft board based on position need.
