The Patriots are always picking up guys like this to see if they can bring out the talent that lead him to be a day 2 draft pick. Sometimes, different schemes and environments help guys like this play better. If not, you let them go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Our loss is our Gaines? EJ didn't have great measurables, but could play a zone CB position pretty well. This Gaines has much better measurables and was more highly regarded coming out of college, not to mention the fact he's younger. If he can play, it's all good.

I am unfamiliar with this one. Not sure, but clearly he owns a time machine and McD will find a way to use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed83HOF Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Source is so-so NFL Draft Diamonds @DraftDiamonds 41m41 minutes ago ore I am hearing the #Bills are closing in on a deal with CB Phillip Gaines 7 replies14 retweets37 likes NFL Draft Diamonds @DraftDiamonds 3m3 minutes ago I know the Chiefs fans are rather harsh on Phillip Gaines as a player but what the general public does not know is he is coming off of a knee injury last season. I know people say he sucks but the guy has size and speed. You cannot teach that NFL Draft Diamonds @DraftDiamonds 1m1 minute ago Phillip Gaines is a 6'1 corner, he weighs 193 pounds and the kid can fly. He ran a 4.38 forty at the Combine. Remember he was a 3rd round pick. He could be a very good late signing for the Bills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hopefully he's a better scheme fit here than he was his last 2 seasons in KC Either way, it's another NFL body at a position where the team really lacks depth, so that's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Filled the Gaines gap nicely. Now we need to start beefing up on Williamses. We had like 5-6 Williamses on the team not too long ago, we need to get more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to defensive backs, I have to trust McDermott. Exactly. That's his forte and I trust him completely with the secondary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone that wants to read into measureables, one of his top comparables on mockdraftable was Stephon Gilmore at 81.1%...but his next closest comparable, at 80.5%, is Louisville's Jaire Alexander...who would be a great pick at 22 overall...

Elite Poster Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) He is my prediction for surprise FA of the year. I really wish we put as much effort into adding offensive talent that we have defensive. Seems like a heavily McDermott influenced offseason so far.

whatdrought Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Considering 75% of our amazing secondary last year were low level FA additions, I assume he will be all-pro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
