Buffalo Bills' rookies will make an impact, but don't expect it right away

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- During their four-year rebuild, the Buffalo Bills have drafted several prospects who they were counting on to produce right away.

Cornerback Tre'Davious White is probably the poster child for the team's instant-impact rookies, alongside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and defensive tackle Ed Oliver. Offensive linemen Cody Ford and Dawson Knox and running back Zack Moss also fit that mold to an extent, although they weren't relied upon as heavily as White, Edmunds and Oliver. Quarterback Josh Allen took over the starting job in Week 2 in 2018, but GM Brandon Beane later admitted the Bills were forced to play Allen before he was ready, so he doesn't really fit in this exercise.
