I do think Dax is the better player, but I think Pitre is really good and McDermott values players that played for coaches he or his coaching staff know - Rousseau and Doyle come to mind. 
 

I would be good with Daxton, especially if they can get George Pickens in the following round.

 

 

Pickens didn't really do anything special there. He pushed over a DB who was locked in on pass defense, was solely focused on the WR running a pass route, and got caught off balance in his backpedal. Just saying. 

 

I also wouldn't be surprised if we took a guy like Hill in the 1st with the intent of him playing an outside CB position, then take a guy like Nick Cross from Maryland to play S in this defense in the 3rd.

He’s a safety who can play corner, outside or inside. While I don’t see him filling the role that Kiper does -barring injury - he would be great pick for the Bills current and future needs in the secondary. 

Agree and if he is selected seems to me to be the Poyer replacement

I would love this pick.  If they take him to play CB this year opposite of Tre and then get another vet in  after the draft. Then if talks don't go well with Poyer they have a plan at S already on the team.  He could slide into that role and save them a ton of headaches and drama if he is that type of player everyone expects, can never have enough good DBs on a team, and with injuries he could also play that Nickel role if anything happens to Johnson.  

 

I feel the same about drafting a LB this year higher than most would like (2nd or 3rd with Muma or Andersen).  Best case scenario Edmunds becomes the All pro MLB and they have awesome cheap depth behind him and Milano for a few years.  Worst case, Edmunds doesn't do anything, isn't resigned and they then have someone who has been in the system and is ready to step up next year.

I am a fan of his, he can play CB2 without an issue, he is highly competitive against the pass...but he is also someone that can support the run and runs a sub 4.4 forty.  He is the anti Wallace, physical, athletic and fast.

Opportunity cost would be my concern with drafting LB so high.  If we do then I think Edmunds is definitely gone.  If youre drafting a back up LB on day 2 then you are missing out on developmental starters that will play at WR and iOL.

I love this player. Kiper forgets we have Taron Johnson in the slot. I would love to see how McDermott uses Hill’s versatility. He can play anywhere in the secondary I believe on day 1.

Funny that Kiper forgets about Taron, considering the Ravens are his favorite team.

One doesn't draft a slot corner in the 1st....or does one?

Apparently the key to the Bills success is completely stacking the defense with high salary players and/or high draft picks while Josh Allen carries the offense…

100% agree but if they aren't satisfied with Edmunds play and they do this, the writing will be on the wall for other teams too. Maybe the can get a pick or a player for him after the draft or early in the preseason. Would love to also see what Edmunds does behind an actual DLine

depends,  if hes that good,  or the Bills value his versatility enough that he can play corner now, and one day he can replace Poyer or Hyde.   sadly,  they wont be around forever.
