Rasul Douglas runs at keon Coleman speed lol thats a weird pro comparison to me 

genuinely and odd one. Different frame. 4.6 speed at the combine. 
 

id be curious how that was the close known comparable

We paid white too much for that. At the very least he’s going to be the locker room vet showing these guys the ropes.

 

I'm curious if they give Tre a shot at safety. But that's a topic for another thread.

Douglas with Hairston speed would be elite. I love how Douglas hits.

Shout out to Gonzo and GunnerBill.  They predicted the Bills taking Hairston in their podcast.  

 

And I feel better about our CB room now.

Hope the Bills finally hit on their 1st rd pick with Hairston. Gotta change the recent trend as outside of Josh we’ve not drafted well in the first. If Hairston can be a day one starter and be impactful that would be HUGE!

Feels like that BR article was written by AI to me 🤣

Gimme a late round safety for Bishop insurance 👀

[Bray Wyatt]

I was a hairston over Amos guy so happy with this pick! I feel his ceiling is much higher and he plays with that energy that can be infectious.

Has trouble finding the ball downfield.

At least he is fast. Just cant stand drafting a CB in the 1st rd.

Guessing he was also “sticking out on the board”

 

Ha!

Agreed not to go too far off topic, but not unheard of to move an older once elite CB to safety at the end of their career and eek some more production out of them.

Little fella. Looks like a goofball, too.

Massive liability in run support? Poor open field tackling? Shoulder injury? Needs to prove he can hold up to the rigors of the NFL?

 

Good job. Won't be starting day 1. Awesome

Unfortunately he's rated as poor run support and will have problems with bigger WR's. Not a fan of this pick... Speed is nice but as JD Williams  showed, it isn't enough

Looks undersized to me.  Could spell trouble in the red zone.  Guess I will have to trust the process.

Definitely fast. Hope the smaller frame holds up in the NFL. Go Bills!!🏈🍻

Love the speed; slightly concerned about his build. Hope he can hold up to the NFL. And, if he adds bulk, it doesn't affect his pace.

 

I went 6 posts to quote and figure more are complaining about his size and tackling.

 

Did you guys dislike Tre White pre-injury? Hairston is basically Tre in terms of frame and tackling. Shorter arms than Tre but much more athletic.

 

I can see why Sean would be excited. Tre Sr. Is in the building to mentor Tre Jr.

It’s one of the only 5 positions that should be drafted in the 1st imo

he is the same size as a guy like pac man jones.  Size of his body was never a problem, now the size of jones brain was an issue.

Great pick. We got speed and good instincts at CB.
