The second player in the defensive secondary on Buffalo’s wish-list is Eskridge. The most intriguing aspect about the former Syracuse Orange free safety is his size/build. Standing at 6’3″ and 208 lbs, he possesses similar attributes to fellow former ACC player and current Seattle Seahawk Kam Chancellor.
Buffalo allowed one of the best safeties in football walk last offseason when Jairus Byrd followed the money to New Orleans. That hole was filled last season with a combination of a bunch of different safeties and the defensive secondary suffered.
Eskridge is raw but definitely warrants a look in the fourth-to-fifth round.
