For the first time in this mock, the Bills go to the defensive side of the ball by dragging TCU cornerback Tre’Viud Hodges-Tomlinson.
Buffalo has some pretty talented corners in their room already, with one of the best in the game, Tre’Davious White, leading the way. They also invested a first rounder last year when they drafted Florida’s Kaiir Elam.
Last year, though, White was out for a while due to injury and Elam was up and down as a rookie. It’s clear the Bills need improved depth, here, and Hodges-Tomlinson gives them just that.
At a smaller 5-foot-8, he fits best at nickel. But, don’t let the size fool you. He is one of the best athletes in this class. Running a 4.41 and posting a ridiculous 11-foot broad jump, Hodges-Tomlinson is a sight to behold, physically.
He has the shifty footwork to keep up with the quicker slot receivers and isn’t easily left in the dust. He’s also a physical player, unafraid of laying the wood if he has to.
Buffalo adds yet another young corner to this room and should have a more well-rounded, versatile group going into this coming season.
