Another TOP end RAS profile in Buffalo. They sure do have a type at this point.  With at least one composite graded ELITE. 
 

those Agility scores are why I am thinking a better safety than CB.

Kiper very high on him on ESPN. Lots of INTs and PBUs. Be interesting to see how he does against NFL talent in training camp. That's a big jump.

No worries Coach McD will make him a pro bowler. Look at Josh Norman for a reference.

I am really excited about this guy, the more I am reading up on him.

Honestly I was surprised we didn't choose a Guard but that's just based on reports that the draft was deep on them.

I think we'll still address guard with our late picks or UDFA signings.

Not surprised they picked another DB.

Am surprised they passed on a bunch of S and other CBs.

 

If this team can do anything well, it is to get the most out of a DB.

 

Welcome to Buffalo Christian Benford

Start looking through top RAS profiles. Bills clearly have a type lol

Consider that he is taller and weighs more than both Hyde and Poyer. I can’t wait to hear Beane talk about this, but I have to think he is going to be a ball-hawking safety.

Yup, and McShay agreed that it was a great pick.

Just watched his tape. He may not have top speed but his instincts to read the route is amazing.

well a boatload of needs have been addressed in this draft. Im not sure how draft media types will grade our draft picks . Its nice when they grade you highly of course. But those grades never sway me that hard. Hope springs eternal on each and every pick right now. Roster or BUST say what you will, for me the Bill are STACKED. 

 

*happy with the haul*

We like our slow corners

 

 

Likely transition to safety as alternative to Poyer and Hyde.

Wasn't aware Elam at 4.39 was slow...he is faster than Tre.

 

Also since one tenth of a second is approximately 2 inches difference in a 40 yard dash, perhaps they feel his height and long arms make up that difference?

Never heard of him. Not gonna pretend otherwise.

I trust McDermott/Frazier when it comes to DBs.

After drafting Shakir in the 5th and the Punt God in the 6th, who cares how the rest of the draft goes?! 😆

 

I don’t know anything about him either, and I absolutely trust our guys with DB’s! I wonder if this 6’1” and 208 lb DB might be groomed to replace our starting/aging (and also late round pick) safeties?

We got rid of Wade.  We needed a new Christian.

Beane hasn’t been perfect in his drafting for his career but I will still take his evaluation of players over some random Internet GMs who don’t know who this guy is. I have no idea who he is either but I love this pick…

No GM is ever perfect, but Beane is up there probably leading the NFL in batting over the last 4 years on how many hits he has and home runs

Some guy named Howie Long went there...apparently played in the league for a bit.
