Caleb Farley

The cornerback position is one that the Buffalo Bills are almost guaranteed to address during the 2021 NFL Draft and one of the top prospects at the position is Caleb Farley. He is a player that can play man or zone and has great size for the position.

The biggest concern is his health and if he slides this will likely be a big reason. He had a torn ACL in 2017, then missed time in 2019 due to a back injury. He sat out this past year but recently had back surgery and when taking into account all the injuries, it could give teams some concern about drafting him early.

For the Buffalo Bills though it would certainly be worth the gamble, especially if they remain at 30th overall. He is a player that could transform this secondary and give them two shutdown corners. However, if he struggles with the injury they still have Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson to step in and have shown they can win with both players.
