On Friday, the Bills agreed to terms with three of their picks from the 2020 NFL Draft. Second-round edge rusher A.J. Epenesa, fourth-round receiver Gabriel Davis, and fifth-round quarterback Jake Fromm are all under contract, per a club announcement.
Epenesa was viewed as a first-round prospect, up until a shaky showing at the combine. There, the Iowa product ran a slower-than-expected 5.04-second 40-yard dash and lacked athleticism at 275 pounds. Still, he’s coming off of double-digit sacks in back-to-back seasons and also profiles as a solid defender against the run.
Fromm also saw his stock slip. At one point in time, evaluators said he’d be the No. 1 overall pick. Then, last year happened – the Georgia QB completed just 60.8% of his passes and most scouts now see him as a solid backup type. That’ll be his role in Buffalo, where he’ll sit behind Josh Allen.
With this trio officially in the fold, the Bills’ only remaining straggler is third-round running back Zack Moss. Here’s the full rundown of their draft class, via PFR’s team-by-team tracker:
2-54: AJ Epenesa, DE (Iowa): Signed
3-86: Zack Moss, RB (Utah)
4-128: Gabriel Davis, WR (UCF): Signed
5-167: Jake Fromm, QB (Georgia): Signed
6-188: Tyler Bass, K (Georgia Southern): Signed
6-207: Isaiah Hodgins, WR (Oregon State): Signed
7-239: Dane Jackson, CB (Pittsburgh): Signed
I’m happy the Bills signed “Jake From Georgia.” I heard “Jake From State Farm” is available as well.
Yikes, was that supposed to be humorous?
@jyosuckas Where are yo fromm where yosuckas posthumously?
don’t you know he signed with the rockets already?
If Fromm knew he wouldn’t get drafted until the fifth round, he probably would have stayed in college for his senior year.
unless he had a crazy season and won a title. i dont know if he would of went any higher. he had good number but no one wanted him till the 5th
He screwed that program out of Justin Fields by doing so as well.
Fromm is going to have a good career. Better than guys taken before him.
He lost a lot of offensive talent from 2018 to 2019.
Elijah Holyfield, Mecole Hardman, Riley Ridley.
Had a lot of turn over on offense.
He will spend some seasons as a backup but definitely see a Chase Daniels type career for Fromm..
Why so much talk of Fromm?
This team landed pass rusher AJ Epenesa and Marshawn Lynch-style rb Zack Moss
Monster draft for not having an R1
Why is everyone consumed by the low ceiling QB who was even a reach at r5?
do we need a name of the day?
I’ll give Saturday a try.
