Bills upgrade pass rush by drafting Miami’s Rousseau 30th
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Whatever Greg Rousseau lacks in experience as a pass rusher, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane believes the University of Miami defensive end makes up for in sheer size, speed and instincts. Add in an eagerness to continue learning, and that was enough for Beane to address Buffalo’s key offseason need in selecting Rousseau with the 30th pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night. He’s just a young player that we think has a ton of upside.” With Josh Allen having solidified his future at quarterback, defense was considered a priority entering the draft after the Bills addressed mostly offensive needs over the past two months. Beane identified upgrading Buffalo’s pass rush as a priority immediately following the season, and said it became even more important with division rivals New England and the New York Jets selecting quarterbacks in the first round on Thursday.
