‘The first-round draft pick (Hairston) will compete against the eight-year vet (White), among others, for the starting job opposite No. 1 cornerback Christian Benford. Hairston has the elite speed, athleticism and ball skills the Bills covet at the position; however, he’ll need to show in training camp that he’s a capable tackler who can be trusted to cover the big, physical perimeter receivers in the NFL. Forget about everything you heard from mandatory minicamp – we won’t be able to gauge Hairston’s readiness until the pads are on, and corners are able to press at the line of scrimmage.’

Bills’ Super Bowl hopes depend on 2 huge X-factors
‘”The Bills need at least one of the two to take a big step forward,” Walder writes. “If they do, GM Brandon Beane will look plenty justified not investing more in another pass catcher. More importantly, that would give Allen another real playmaker to throw to besides Khalil Shakir (I’m not much of a believer in former Chargers receiver Joshua Palmer).
