Round 3: Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah

Tre’Davious White is a stud at corner. Levi Wallace has been decent, especially given the fact that he was an undrafted free agent. Kevin Johnson has had his moments as well since being picked up after the Houston Texans gave up on the former first-round pick.

Still, the Bills need help in the secondary which leads to the selection of Jaylon Johnson out of Utah. The 6-foot-190-pound corner is a physical player that knows how to find the football. Those are two things that Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network really likes about this kid’s game.

“I appreciate his tackling skills, he’s pretty stout and doesn’t often let extra yardage slip through his grasp when he’s challenging ball carriers in one on one situation. Johnson brings length to the corner position as well, it is notable when he’s extending and reaching to meet the football. His nose for the football in zone coverage is terrific — Johnson delivers big plays in coverage when he’s able to key and read the passer while feeling routes develop in his peripheral vision.” — Crabbs, The Draft Network

He likely won’t start right away but there’s a chance he could become their No. 2 corner before long. Should that happen, they will be set at the position with him and White locking up on the top two receivers on the opposite side of the field.
