I love inside info like this on the scouting. Great. Love the input. It fired me up even more for Mr Hairston!

[ColoradoBills]

High hopes he fills the CB2 role and pushed Christian as CB1.

 

Get to camp young man and put a few more pounds on while keeping your speed and the world is yours for the taking.

Not sure if you caught it but after they drafted him, both Beane and Hairston confirmed he'd already worked his way up into the 190s

I hate to admit , this was probably a very wise pick all considered.

 Not my choice , but glad they stayed and he made it to them. He will have some pretty good mentors btw. Now I like the White pick up even better. Even Jackson knows the Game well , as well as Bills football

 I approve !

This is a really good insight. I mean, think of it: They're bringing in this kid with all the talent in the world, a kid who is energetic and committed and competitive, and they surrounding him with four certifiable practitioners of the McDermott pass defense.  He will be in OTAs and camp and preseason with Benford, White, Jackson, and Taron Johnson. They all will be showing him, teaching him. Hairston has the opportunity in the next three months to win the starting job outright, and all four of those guys are going to be helping him do it. 

 

Hairston couldn't have been put in a better situation to succeed, and the Bills may be the beneficiary really quickly.

Hopefully I will get some good laughs when 5 years later people edit this thread like Josh Allen's 2018 draft thread.  After he comes a top CB

I may be a bit harsh with the kid, but that’s what this stuff is all about. It’s sad that every reaction is disagreement. No one knows how this player will translate to the NFL. It’s already proven that good players can be drafted in later rounds(Benford, Johnson, Brady), my point was he wasn’t the best defensive back on the board or the best prospect. If he was available at 52 maybe.

BPA is 100% subjective, it is a matter of an individuals opinion, neither you nor I know how this pick will play out, 

[QCity]

I don't really see any issues with this decision. He fills a need, we received good value for him (it wasn't a reach), and most importantly it's at a high-value position.

[Victory Formation]

The more I think about it, I’m starting to feel really good about this pick.

Finally got around to watching his PC.  Very loveable guy.  He’s going to fit in well with our locker room and help build on the  family type foundation Mcd and Beane have built.  
 

Two thumbs up for this pick.  While I was on board with Amos at 30, i felt like Hairston was the higher upside pick.  I wanted the speed.  I can’t lie. 
 

listening to an interview with Amos on yt, I wasn’t impressed.  Didn’t seem very sharp to me.  Max has charisma
