Darby will be of some help right away though because you need three corners with all the three-wide sets offenses use. And Ryan is the type that will blitz you no matter how many receivers you have lined up out there. I kind of stayed on Darby for this one because I don’t really see any of the other picks helping a whole lot right away.

Ronald Darby
CB, Florida State
The Buffalo Bills first pick didn’t come until the second round in the draft and they got a first round talent. I always thought that Darby was a first-round talent but a few 40-yard dashes here and vertical jumps there took him out. But either way Darby is a talent and the way the head coach Rex Ryan blitzes, he needs corners.
The Bills already have corners Stephon Gilmore and Leodis McKelvin, two first round corners, coming back. McKelvin has two more years on his deal and turns 30 soon so he may be soon to go to save cap space. Gilmore just got his option picked up so he’s going to get paid after the 2015.
