Bills First Rnd pick in 2025 draft: Maxwell Hairston - CB - Kentucky

[Roundybout]

Also his cousin is Bills legend Taiwan Jones.

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

[Big Blitz]

Love it.  
 

Judging by McDs reaction this is a guy they really wanted. 

[White Linen]

Love this pick

[Doc Brown]

If the Chiefs take Will Johnson I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to Terry Pegula expressing my disappointment.

Bad knee injury

[mannc]

He’s got some elite traits and played against the best receivers in the country. All you can ask at this point in the draft. Good pick.

I love it because I have been begging the Buffalo Bills to add speed to their secondary for years and they finally did it. I also think this cements we are going to play more man coverage with this pick in addition to to the hires of our new coaches who specialize in man

Love this pick! He was my draft crush. He's not just a track speed guy. His 4.2 speed shows up on the field. The dude just plays at a different speed from everyone else on the field. 

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 

[rusty shackleford]

He’s fast, that’s all I really know about him, but I like it.

Thank goodness we paid Tre White! Lol

 

Tre is going to be an excellent mentor for this kid 

[Victory Formation]

As long as NT gets addressed, I’m good with this pick.

[FireChans]

Sigh

[US Egg]

Not the original Happy Hairston.

Love this pick for the team

We paid him 2.2m. We paid Dane less than that. Neither is guaranteed a roster spot or is any sort of long term solution.

Who? This guy or Elam?

I’m happy.  When the DTs went off the board, I was just hoping for starks, Amos, Hairston or Golden…..or possibly Johnson (but I was hesitant due to the knee).  
 

it’s been awhile since we’ve had a corner that can run like that.  Since never.  I love the way he plays downhill and attacks, but I think he needs 1-2 more layers of muscle on him.  Worried he won’t hold up if he lays the wood on the wrong ball carrier.  
 

but I’m happy and he seems like a character

No way he should've fallen this far because of turf toe?  Max is still an excellent pick.  Now let's go DT hunting tomorrow.

He’s an immediate starter for the bills and that’s what you want from a first rounder
