4. Cornerback

Next on the list is cornerback mainly for two reasons. The first is that Levi Wallace is a restricted free agent and Kevin Johnson is an unrestricted free agent, which if one or both were to leave would be a huge blow and likely move this up the rankings.

The other reason is that in a league that has become pass heavy, it is important to have depth at this position to handle four wide receiver sets as well as address injuries at the position that could arise.

The first thing the Bills’ front office will need to do is determine if they bring back Wallace and/or Johnson. Both played well, or good enough, to warrant returning for the starting job. However, even if the Bills bring back one, this wouldn’t stop them from going after a cornerback in the Draft, if one of the top ones fell to them.

This is one position that could use an upgrade but if they don’t, the Bills defense should still be able to remain near the top of the league.
