transplantbillsfan Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I am asking this question primarily because I see a GAPING hole at CB right now. Plus though we all hope Tredavious White will be back and ready to play in prime form in September... you've gotta be prepared if he's not. That leaves our #1 and #2 CB position in question. Even if we went out and got Joe Haden right now, I think we're still in dire straights at CB. I won't be upset with WR or even Breece Hall in the 1st... but I'd be shocked unless something happens... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Joe Haden, Taron Johnson, and Dane Jackson is worse than Levi Wallace, Taron Johnson, and Dane Jackson? Dire straights? No. Plus Tre White back by week 3 or 4. Then it’s Tre White, Joe Haden, Dane Jackson, and Taron Johnson. Plus from all accounts they like Cam Lewis.

I'm not going to freak out if we don't go CB at 25. Haden, Dane & Taron can easily hold down the fort. And last I checked we have 2 pretty good safeties to back them up. Plus our pass rush should be improved making the CB's look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Almost would have to be CB. Not as deep as WR, so to get a very good one would likely need to draft that first. Should be a few to choose from due to being so deep at DL early on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 The WR option is really tantalizing assuming there's good value there, but then I consider that our WR core (which was awesome the past two years), was just stocked via trade and with mid-round picks. We've found adaquate CBs to pair with White in the past, but I just think we could build a truly dominating defense if we drafted a 2nd lockdown corner opposite Tre. It's just such an important position in this day and age. Interior O-line is definitely a big need as well, but I think we should be targeting rounds 2-4 for those picks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very good interior OL players can be found in those rounds. WR in round 2 could also be a play...very deep class there also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I agree that CB is the biggest need but this team has shown an ability to create decent CB's and we all know how much McDermott loves his secondary. They could take 2 or 3 late round DB picks and turn it into something. Put me down for WR in the first. I can't really see them going RB but it's always smart to draft a WR in the top few rounds pretty much every year with a QB like Josh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVilanch Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I put CB simply because the depth in the draft at WR, I wouldn't be surprised if we go OL though. Edited March 23, 2022 by BruceVilanch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Cornerback is this team's only glaring need considering we lost Levi Wallace and Tre White may not be ready week 1 based on an average 9 month recovery period for ACL tears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuvtalker Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I almost feel like it's a no-brainer. Beane has addressed so many needs its insane, yet absolutely nothing at the CB spot. And because of that, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he went WR, OL, or somewhere else. We all know how every year in the 1st round teams make picks noone saw coming, be they reaches, head scratchers, etc, thus causing players to fall. Nothing is off the table when it comes to our GM, and I love that. But obviously the safe bet is CB. Can I just say that it feels really, really good to head into the draft with no GAPING holes, and we have the luxury of actually going after BPA? I honestly cannot think of an offseason like this one, and haven't been as excited for an upcoming season as I am for this one. I have no clue whatsoever how I'm going to get through the next 5 months without spontaneously combusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 You can't pose a poll question like that and then casually mention we might sign Joe Haden as if it won't matter in people's responses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're both recognizing the need to add a CB early in the draft, AND celebrating Beane for not leaving a "GAPING hole" at CB heading into the draft. Let's not overthink this. CB is a HUGE need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have great faith in Jackson solidifying his spot at CB2, loving Taron Johnson at the nickel spot. After that, Neal is next man up..... Okay, CB is a huge need. I stand corrected.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
