The Buffalo Bills went into the 2022 NFL Draft in dire need of a cornerback. By the end of the first round, general manager Brandon Beane had acquired one, trading up to do so. It’s just the second time that the Bills have drafted a corner in the top of the draft since Beane and head coach Sean McDermott arrived, with Tre’Davious White standing as the other.
While the starting gig won’t be handed to the rookie, it’s hard to envision a scenario where Buffalo’s first-round pick from 2022 isn’t starting multiple games this season.
