SI Grades On Round 1 - Bills Get an A

[Night Train]

27

TRE'DAVIOUS WHITE, CB, LSU (VIA KANSAS CITY)

GRADE: A
A long wait for the Bills after trading away pick No. 10, but it would have been hard to screw this up too badly at No. 27, with Buffalo now holding Kansas City’s picks at 91 and in the first round next year. And this definitely is not a miss. White may not wholly replace the departed Stephon Gilmore, but without question he should help the Bills navigate past that difficult free-agent loss. White’s a rangy corner who can match up with receivers both outside and in the slot—a nice piece for new coach Sean McDermott.

Don't get pissy just because none of your 100+ claims of inside info or predictions came through.

I wasn't as high on White as I was a couple of other corners, but at 27 he's a good pick.

Per multiple people on Twitter the Bills were going to take Humphrey at #10 without the trade down, so moving down 17 spots getting another 3rd and a 1st next year to get a CB who many see as part of that first tier is pretty good. The one thing I don't like is that it feels like the Bills, once again, went into position lock mode where it was take the best player ranked at this position available v. take the best player available, but that's just me speculating.

The tone has been set for the new regime. Solid, maybe not spectacular, football skills with high marks on character and work ethic. I can live with that.

It was only 99 claims, not 100.

I agree, which means cross Tim Williams off your Round 2 bingo cards.

I'm shocked and disappointed that we didn't take Reuben Foster at 27, as he so nicely fell to our lap.

We needed our Luke Kuechly and he's it. And we blew it for a run of the mill corner.

McDermot values character over talent...
