Bills Eye Deonte Banks for CB Depth | NFL News

0:00On September 6th, word is the Buffalo Bills might be looking to make another splash on defense, even after a busy offseason. They're heading into the season with some questions at Cornerback, and one analyst thinks they should go after Dianne Banks from the New York Giants. Banks was the first round pick a couple years back, but hasn't quite lived up to that billing yet, and the Giants might be willing to move him. The thinking is that while the Bills have some solid guys like Christian Benford and D. Alford, there's uncertainty about Maxwell-Harrstin's development. He was the first round pick himself, but had a rocky rookie year. Adding Banks could give them more reliable depth, especially if Harrison doesn't take that next step, or if injuries pop up. Banks has shown flashes of that first round talent, but consistency has been an issue for him with the Giants. The change of scenery could be just what he needs to get his career back on track, and for Buffalo he could be a low-risk, high-reward addition to. They're secondary. He's entering his fourth year in the league. It's an interesting situation because the Bills only kept three primary cornerbacks on their initial 53-man roster.

1:06General Manager Brandon Bean seems confident in those three, believing other players can fill in if needed. But if they want to be truly secure, bringing in someone like Banks makes a lot of sense. The Bills are set to start their season on September 13th against the Houston Texans. They're actually favored by one and a half points in that match-up. It'll be interesting to see if they make any moves before then to solidify that cornerback room.
