Round 4

**TRADE** Buffalo Bills trade the 111th pick to the San Francisco 49ers for the 117th and 182nd overall picks

The Buffalo Bills do not currently have a fourth round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but because of my trade back from 30th overall with the Bengals I received the 111th overall pick. However, with a bunch of linebackers like Dylan Moses, Monty Rice, and Cameron McGrone available I felt like it would be best to trade back again to gain value. I traded the 111th overall pick to the 49ers for the 117th and 182nd overall in return.

At 117th overall, Monty Rice was now unavailable. Out of the three linebackers I just mentioned above, I viewed him as the best compliment to Tremaine Edmunds at linebacker and replacement to Milano. With Rice unavailable, I figured it would be best to look at another position.

With Levi Wallace as a restricted free agent this offseason, the Bills can bring him back next year on a somewhat cost-controlled contract. Regardless of what ends up happening there, Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has preached the value of cornerback depth.

Personally, I believe that bringing back Wallace next year will be enough to retain depth at the cornerback position. However, I would not be opposed to taking a defensive back in the draft in the mid-to-late rounds.

The best cornerback available at 117th overall was Shaun Wade from Ohio State. While Wade presents more value at nickel corner rather than the traditional outside corner position, it is still worth investing in his depth at the position and relying on his development.

117th overall: Shaun Wade – Ohio State (Cornerback)
