Finding a DE has actually been the waterloo for their GM. They have put three picks in 2020-2021 in the first two rounds on a DE (Epenesa, Rousseau, and Boogie Basham) and STILL needed to give Von a 130 million contract to shore up that position. And when Von went down, none of their draft picks could step up to even be a solid replacement.
It's a real reason as to why many of them worry about trading Diggs. For that to work, you need your draft picks to
hit.
On another note, many Bills fans (it's all over their Arrowhead Pride equivalents) were hoping they'd draft Creed as a cheap replacement for Morse. They went with Boogie instead. That's been a serious amount of draft resources expended on a position with very little output.
