The Buffalo Bills, like every team making picks in 2021, was going to be forced to manage risks with their NFL Draft picks. Many players weren’t able to play a regular season, and that may have been their choice, but it made the evaluation process a challenge. In choosing Miami defensive end Gregory Rousseau with their first round pick, the Bills are making their own risky bet, hoping that a 30th overall selection could develop into a top-ten caliber player in his career.
The 6’7” 266 pound Rousseau was tremendously disruptive in 2019, his only full college season.
