When stating CB is our biggest need it is with the understanding that we will be losing BOTH Clements and Thomas. It's also with the understanding that a nickle back(Thomas) basically plays starter type minutes many games.
The best case scenario would be that Youboty can start next year for us. It would be nice to just have the luxury of slotting him in at nickle back.
That being said- I do not want to spend the 12th pick in the first round on a CB.(Because their doesn't appear to be value there then). A veteran makes sense because the rest of the secondary is pretty young.
The next position I mentioned was DT. As of now we have Williams and Triplett. With McCargo coming back that position is already being reinforced with a number one pick from last year. The combined Clements/Thomas has just Youboty waiting in the wings. Of course I have stated on the boards that I would like to draft Okoye to add to this rotation at tackle.
Ultimately- I think the Bills will sign a free agent cb, dt and og in free agency before the draft.
I didn't mention lb...because i don't know their willingness to move Crowell inside and whether they think Ellison can be slotted in as a long term starter.
