It looks like the Buffalo Bills are lining up their personnel shifts with the hope of meeting challenges brought to them by teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, not to mention while Patrick Mahomes is still in charge. In this scenario, they are projected to take defensive lineman Jer’Zhan Newton, a standout from Illinois, with their No. 28 pick to address that necessity.
The answer to that, from CBS Sports, is Newton’s ability to help both against the run and rushing the passer, especially big against the likes of the high-octane Chiefs. His eye-popping numbers—7.5 sacks, 8.5 tackles for loss, and a lot of quarterback pressures—would indicate a boost to Buffalo’s defense.
The Bills believe that with Newton in the roaster, it would strengthen their defense and, therefore, have more potentials of competing convincingly with the likes of the Chiefs in the post. This is a signal move to represent the dedication to solidifying a roster that can compete for a Super Bowl championship in the window of opportunity that is open.
