Rd 2, Pick 60: DB Cole Bishop, Utah

[ScorpionZero]

He was one of the players I wanted the most in this draft, glad the Bills got it done.

Sounds like a young Poyer. I like it.

I think Edwards might end up as the best of the 3. He is a playmaker that is a little underappreciated. It’s like when Hyde and Poyer got here. 

Agree to disagree. PFF is not perfect, but they rated him as 82nd best graded safety with a +56.9 overall grade this past year. And KC let him go, and Bills signed him for less than KC paid him. Bishop, meanwhile, has a reputation as being smart, excels in zone coverage and TE coverage. If Edwards beats him out, its a wasted 2nd round pick, IMHO.

Surprisingly great pick by Beano.

[SCBills]

Sal is on some weird X crusade pouring cold water on anyone who thinks Cole

Bishop will start.

C'mon man, I'm sure he's had a couple great picks.

[DJB]

He will pass Rapp on the depth chart soon enough

Sal is increasingly on my bad list. He’s fallen off hard over the years in his coverage. Either he’s a complete cheerleader or he does stuff like this

Sal is one of the most overrated people I’ve ever heard but because the rest of WGR is a dumpster fire people like him. He’s a **** for Bills management, acts like he’s an insider, when really he’s just a sideline reporter. He has never actually broken any news ever 

[notpolian]

Tanier likes him, good pick

[VW82]

McD got his younger McD

I don’t put much stock into PFF. He’s a lot like Poyer when he got here. The Bills have liked him for a while. We will see I guess but the Bills are solid at S now regardless of how it shakes out in terms of playing time.

Excellent pick. Between Rapp and Bishop we now have two safeties who can lay the lumber down.

Bills fan in Utah here. Saw a few Utes games this year. Cole Bishop is a monster. Reminds me of Brian Dawkins as a hitter. Loves contact. Smart player with good instincts and a good athlete too.

Instincts are what make a good safety, a great safety.

[Blank Stare]

Cole Bishop…great football player name. 

[HappyDays]

Beane was really excited about this one.

[Gunsgoodtime]

Why do I feel like we need another wr asap

[Ralonzo]

Jaden Hicks still on the board makes me wonder how much of a reach this was.
