For as talented as Tre’Davious White is, I’m a bit concerned about the Bills secondary on the whole. Levi Wallace is a fine situational player but replacing Kevin Johnson with Josh Norman does not give me much confidence given Norman’s recent level of play. As such, I’d like them to address the position in the top 150 picks and Cameron Dantzler being available at No. 86 is too tasty to move past.

Dantzler is a long corner but he lacks bulk and physicality, something he needs to work on by adding to his 6-2, 185-pound framer. However, his ability to read plays and quarterbacks and make plays, especially in zone coverage, makes him a worthwhile investment and gives him big-time upside as a third-rounder.

Even with Diggs joining John Brown and Cole Beasley, two players who the Bills signed in the 2019 offseason, the receiving corp could still use some help. And to me, Tyler Johnson in the fourth round is a great complement to the group now in place.

Johnson is not a player who’s going to wow with speed or acceleration to separate. However, he can win with defenders in his face consistently and has great feet to work his routes with. He has enough size to work inside or out and be a nice movable piece in the Buffalo offense.

For my money, Devin Singletary has all the goods to be an every-down running back in the NFL. Though he was splitting time as a rookie in the 2019 season, he was phenomenal with the work he did receive and should now be able to take over the No. 1 role and thrive. He does need some depth in the backfield with him though.

Patrick Taylor Jr. doesn’t have the speed or consistent blocking technique to be a feature back in the NFL. However, as a big-bodied (6-3, 227 pounds) complement to someone like Singletary, he could be valuable as a spot-duty back who replaces veteran Frank Gore and offers more long-term upside.
