Schefter went on to say that the wide receivers at the top of the board are all “elite” prospects. Whether this will be enough for a team – say the Buffalo Bills – to make such a move remains to be seen.
What can the bill expect in terms of safety?
Talking about the bill…
One of the needs in Buffalo? Security station. With Micah Hyde still uncertain about his future – and a free agent – and Jordan Poyer in Miami after signing with the Dolphins in free agency, the Bills need a defensive lineman up front. later.
According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, although the Bills made some moves in free agency at the position (like re-signing Taylor Rapp and adding Mike Edwards), but they “aren’t locking anything in at safe levels beyond 2024 and are open to almost anything to improve this. I’m in the starting lineup.”As Buscaglia notes, one player the Bills could safely pursue is Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean While DeJean is a cornerback for the Hawkeyes, many analysts believe his NFL home lies at the back of the defensive line. defensive end.DeJean is listed as a cornerback in most places, but his profile still has the caveat that he could be a starting cornerback or safety in the NFL, with the instinct to play both. His fit with the Bills is as appealing as everything they covet at safety. [Dane] Brugler wrote that DeJean “forecasts well and credits his time as a high school quarterback with developing his coverage acumen.” DeJean came from a zone defense, a college program that McDermott was especially fond of – the same program that brought Hyde. DeJean has seven interceptions over the past two years, is an excellent tackler and has a high school baseball background. Especially if the Bills are lacking a wide receiver worthy of their first pick at No. 28, keep an eye on DeJean if he’s on the board. The fit is excellent; he will likely become a Day 1 starter and solidify his free safety position for the next five seasons. He may be the Bills’ only chance at a safety in the first round.Something to keep in mind as we enter the first round.
