3. Paulson Adebo

If the Buffalo Bills don’t want to use one of their first two picks on cornerback, a player like Stanford’s Paulson Adebo would be a great target in the third, possibly fourth, round. He has the size needed to be an outside corner in the NFL at 6’1″ and 198 pounds and could play well in the Bills’ defense. The Draft Network believes he is a player that could thrive in zone situations because of his instincts and football IQ.

Adebo played well his first two seasons at the collegiate level and showed off his ability to attack the ball when it is in the air. He had eight interceptions and 27 passes defended in only 22 games but did not play this past season after opting out.

This is a player that might take a little bit more time to develop but could end up being a great value in the middle rounds as he eventually should be a starter.
