On offense, LeSean McCoy is still an elite RB and Sammy Watkins will be an elite WR. There has been some chatter about the quarterback position but we’ll have to see about that. But one position the Bills can surely use some help at is at corner.

So at No. 14 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Bills go ahead and take Cordrea Tankersley. Yes, we’ll assume Rex Ryan will be back at head coach and Tankersley fits his system well. With Ryan’s defense tightened up, the Bills just might make some noise in 2017.
