Buffalo Bills’ 2022 rookie class shows promise

I still can’t get over all the wasted DE picks. Epinesa and Basham have not lived up to their draft status and are teetering on busy. Rousseau hasn’t shown he can be “the guy” since he pretty much fell off after Von went down. They’re still young but I would have liked to see more from them.

Of course Tre' wasn't going to be the same player this season coming off the injury, anybody that didn't know that should have. Has nothing to do with 'health' per se, even 100% healthy and able to play isn't going to translate to 100% of the level of performance we are used to seeing because the mental aspect of the game takes more time to catch up. And it's certainly a possibility that Tre' never returns to his prior form, that's a pretty devastating injury for a corner.

Buffalo has had some bad luck with, what were lockdown corners in their history, losing them to injury I mean.

I think of Robert James tearing a knee in his prime.

Derrick Burroughs hurting his neck in his prime.

Marlon Kerner tearing his knee.

Now Tre White.

I'm sure there have been others.

Passing on Creed Humphrey for Basham was maddening at the time. Now I hate it more.

Before that was the trade down that gave KC Patrick Mahomes.

And then we got to watch two KC 7th rounders, Watson and Pacheco, become playoff impact players.

Are they that lucky or are they just that smart?

Everything they do seems to work while we spin our wheels and hope Josh Allen can make it happen.

Harrumph.

But put a shine on some okay picks and talk about the bright bright future.

The Reid system drafts on the fit ...... speed means a lot with him.

He know's how to exploit skills and take advantage.

They scout based on that qualifier.

Reid's use of a player like Edmunds would be different than how we use him.

Exactly. Speed kills and we need more of it.

A great O-Line wouldn't hurt either.
