The Buffalo Bills looked pretty good this past Sunday, as they throttled the Cleveland Browns at home. The issue for the team has been inconsistency this season, and it is likely that the organization is going to part ways with head coach Rex Ryan once the regular season ends. The Bills need help all over the roster, but adding a quality safety may be at the top of the list.

LSU has an incredible safety in Jamal Adams, who may very well go even higher in next April’s draft. He is of the same mold as former LSU Tiger Tyrann Mathieu, and he just may have the same impact at the next level as the Honey Badger has had. The Bills need to establish an identity on defense, and Adams would be a nice piece to that puzzle given the fact he plays with the kind of passion that would make him a favorite to the fans in Buffalo.

Ryan has long been a defensive-minded coach, but that really has not translated in Buffalo. Bringing in his brother Rob to run the defense did little to help a unit that continues to show weaknesses all over the unit. A safety will bring stability to the secondary, and Adams is extremely talented, but this Bills team is not going to get better overnight.
