Good looking out. I’ve been listening to Buffalo podcasts from their radio station WGR550. Entertaining to hear them panic about the Jets and Buffalo needing to move up. [Reply]
I had previously thought the 2nd round pick was a safety or DL, but PFF's thoughts are that the safeties aren't complete packages so are more like 3rd round picks, they are also down on the interior DL as not having much proven pass rush, leaning more towards CB, S, DL with the top 3 picks as they stand.

It's fun listening to Buffalo sports radio and how crazy they are going over drafting a QB. Sure you got White last year and he's a pretty fucking good corner. But now you have to sell the farm in order to move up for a guy. [Reply]
