Buffalo Bills are eyeing the NFL draft to shore up their secondary, even after signing CJ Gardner Johnson and D Alfred in free agency. The team kicks off Thursday night with plenty of options, but Cornerback Depth remains a weak spot that needs fixing before training camp. Starders like Christian Benford, Maxwell Harrison, who they grabbed in the first round last year, and D Alfred looks solid up front. The back-ups are thin, especially with six-round-pig Dorian Strong, sidelined by a neck injury and surgery, leaving his future uncertain. Fans and analysts see this as key to building a reliable defense floor, no room for drop-offs behind the top guys. While edge rushers, wide receivers, and linebackers top the wish list, bolstering the back-end could lock down opponents all season. Two, late-round prospects stand out. Xavier Smith, a five-foot-eleven nickel specialist from Notre Dame with 20 tackles, three passes

Tackles last year, Bills could scoop either in the sixth or seventh round, or even as undrafted free agents, turning a need into strength without burning early picks. Our play keeps their dehumming.
