Buffalo Bills 2017 Mock Draft: Going On The Offensive
By Erik Lambert
3rd Round
16. The Bills know the price to be paid for not having quality cornerbacks on defense. They are in a division with Tom Brady after all. Losing Stephon Gilmore to the Patriots was the ultimate smack in the face, and a grim reminder that they got weaker while the enemy got stronger. Investing at cornerback is something they won’t be able to avoid in the draft. Not unless they believe the new coaching can unlock a few hidden gems already on the roster. <p>Unlikely. So they take advantage of a deep draft class and secure West Virginia standout Rasul Douglas. In many ways he’s a great fit for their new defense. He has the size, length and physicality to press. At the same time his ball skills, instinct and quick reaction allow him to thrive in zone as well. Long speed is a question mark but there are ways around such problems. His potential is sky high if he continues to hone his craft.</p>. CB. West Virginia. Rasul Douglas . 3. player
