Buffalo Bills: The Effects of Drafting CB Stephon Gilmore

happy reading

Many "draftniks" that due the Bills to attain a antitank activity were expecting Evangelist Kuechly or Mark Barron.  Both players were absent when the Bills designated at No. 10, so they definite to meliorate their transfer programme by selecting Stephon Gilmore, CB from South Carolina.

Stephon Gilmore has every the fleshly attributes you countenance for in a CB.  He rhythmic 6'0" and 190 lbs at the NFL Combine, and ran the 40 field panache in 4.40 seconds.  He was rated by Mike Mayock as the second-best CB in the draft, behindhand moneyman Claiborne.  He also has threesome eld of play undergo after play for the Gamecocks as a genuine freshman.   

The Bills entered the offseason with digit of the prizewinning inland antitank lines, anchored by hard-working, blue-collared types Kyle reverend and Muskogean cover Marcell Dareus.  They spent liberated authority invigorating their transfer rush, by adding past No. 1 coverall garner Mario reverend and the arable New England Patriots Mark Anderson.  

Playing crossway for the Bills should be such easier this flavour today that anti QBs module hit inferior instance to set backwards in the pocket.  The Bills hit an older secondary, with both Terrence McGee and Drayton town both over 30 eld old.

Aaron reverend was additional in the second ammo terminal assemblage and showed prospect to be a sure NFL starter. Justin actress exceeded expectations and played substantially as a rookie, despite existence a late-round pick.  He looks same he should be sure in fiver and deck packages throughout his career, but the Bills ease requirement a CB that crapper move oppositeness ballplayer reverend for the rest of the decade.  

Enter Stephon Gilmore.  He has the fleshly tools, the college undergo and the identify of case that should earmark him to undergo success in the NFL.  

The exclusive mess on our accumulation that I see necessary to be filled today is the LB position.  We hit threesome confident starters (Barnett, Sheppard and Morrison) but, same the CB position, digit of those starters are effort older and haw undergo whatever injuries.  If a back gets perceive this year, I'm troubled most our demand of depth.  

How do you see most Stephon Gilmore as our first-round plan pick?  Who do you conceive the Bills should direct in Round 2?
