Everyone in the fold.

The Bills have finalized a contract with their final unsigned draft choice.

Second-rounder Ronald Darby, a cornerback from Florida State, has signed with Buffalo, the team said Tuesday.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Darby garnered third-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference honors in 2014, notching 43 tackles and four pass breakups. The lone cornerback selected by the Bills in the draft, Darby should be at least a contributor in “sub” packages in his first NFL season.

Darby was the first of six draft picks for Buffalo in 2015. The club traded its first-round selection in May 2014 to move up for wide receiver Sammy Watkins.

If Darby has a great training camp, say goodbye to Leodis McKelvin.

For what purpose? To save a few dollars this year for what? Leodis is on a very reasonable contract.

If Darby beats Leodis out for the 2nd CB starting spot, then Leodis can be the Nickle CB this year. He can always be cut after this season.

Nickle CB?

Nickell Robey can play the nickle for $587,000. McKelvin can play the nickle for $4.9 million.

McKelvin more than likely makes the team because he has a $2.75 million dead cap hit if the Bills cut him.

Good depth.

Great idea. Good CBs are not important, there is no risk of Darby and Gilmore ever becoming injured and since this is a run-first league, who needs CBs....

This team doesn't seem to envision a large role for Robey. It's too bad, he's small but I like his game.

I also guess we're assuming Corey Graham goes back to safety.
