The Buffalo Bills have spent a lot of money this offseason on edge rushers, both internally and externally. They signed five-time Pro Bowler Joey Bosa to be their potential closer in the game's biggest moments, and they extended Greg Rousseau on a four-year deal worth up to $80 million.
For these reasons, Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report says the Bills need to stay away from taking edge rusher Landon Jackson.
"Typically, Buffalo likes big, long and powerful edge-defenders," Sobleski writes. "They may not be able to corner all that well when trying to rush the passer, but that's OK in the organization's book. Arkansas' Landon Jackson fits the Bills' current mold. He's a 6'6", 264-pound defensive end, who too often tries to win with power by working down the middle of a blocker instead of relying on his athleticism. Granted, Von Miller is no longer on the roster, AJ Epenesa is a free agent after this season and the newly-signed Joey Bosa has an extensive history. But the Bills will be better served either A) addressing a weaker defensive interior or B) drafting a more explosive edge-rusher with the 30th overall pick."
In this case, Sobleski is right. If the Bills are going to do anything edge rusher related with the No. 30 overall pick, it should be using the pick to acquire T.J. Watt from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
