They chose Iowa defensive end/edge rusher, A.J. Epenesa

Standing at 6'5, 275, Epenesa fills a need for the Bills after they lost Shaq Lawson to free agency this spring.

Considering the 2020 draft was regarded as one of the deepest drafts in years, it's reasonable that Epenesa could have gone in the first round of the draft if it was another year.
