185. Bills (CAR) select Christian Benford, CB   NOVA

 

Boundary cornerback with an athletic to muscular build. Does not panic when challenged. Exposure in man and zone coverage. Great top end and recovery speed. Good balance. Good stop-start speed. Minimal lean at the stem. Great hand eye coordination. Does a good job of tracking the ball in the air.

I must say I am shocked that Beane didn't trade away all those sixth and the seventh round picks and move up. I guess that is why I'll never be a GM. 🤷‍♂️

Oh I agree, I'm surprised too but so far these first 2 - 6th picks have a shot so I'm with you on the armchair GM job
