Rumors were the Bills were in on Samuel Jr, not sure I see the fit there. Seems like there are good secondary player left in the free agency crop. 

 

Rumors were based on a fake "insider". 

 

Doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Although I'd agree a guy who is very good in coverage, but much less than that as a tackler is a great fit for a McDermott team. But there's no smoke to that fire.

 

As for the poll question itself, I'll trust anyone that McDermott will think work, whether that's a big name FA, an under the radar FA, or a Draft Pick. 

 

One thing I will not accept is Rasul Douglas. He was atrocious last season. He'll be 31 this year and I think it's very likely he hit the wall. I'd take a return of Dane Jackson and a 2nd Round Pick over Douglas.

We have 3 picks in the first two rounds and knowing this team, we will draft the #2 corner there. For as long as I can remember this team loves to draft CBs early. Not saying I want that to happen but that’s what I envision 

I don’t understand the aversion to drafting CB early.

I'm starting to wonder, since everyone else besides Cook has been paid, if the plan is to let Benford play it out and to pivot to a CB1 in 2026 who is either a high draft pick this year or a middle class FA this year.

Well mostly because we seem to miss more than we hit. Out best corner is a late round pick and our all pro slot guy it middle. Tre White was great and Gilmore was good but that’s 8-10 years ago. That’s the problem. I’m ok with it in general we actually need it now bot usually when we do it we don’t really need to.

The only corner that I remember being drafted fairly early in the last several years has been Elam who was clearly a miss.  I don’t know why he hasn’t panned out and the consensus that I remember about him was late first early 2nd range.  Every team has regrettable picks now and then - especially when picking late in rounds.  
 

I understand the hesitation due to being burned by the Elam pick, but cornerback is an important position and avoiding it early because they missed on Elam will not lead to good results.

CB in round 1 or 2 is looking like a given. Probably add a lower tier guy now or in the summer to compete.
