Name: Robert Nkemdiche

Position: Defensive lineman

College: University of Mississippi

Career highlights: 2015 All SEC First Team, 2015 All-American Second Team

Pros: Robert Nkemdiche was the top high school recruit in the country, and just the fourth consensus number one prospect since 2002. Arguably the best interior pass rusher in the draft. Moves extremely well, despite his imposing size. A pure, naturally gifted player.

Cons: Some question marks surrounding his best fit at the NFL level. An eccentric character, with recent issues regarding off-field activities and weight. Needs to work on his consistency in respect of finishing plays.

Overall: The Bills can use his versatility to their advantage, with the loss of Mario Williams and the previously referenced injury/age concerns with Williams. Will excel in the right environment and looks like a good fit for Ryan’s defense.
