Tre’Davious White is a star cornerback and considered by many a top-five player at his position. Levi Wallace has his ups and downs, but overall he’s an upside at No.2. The options behind them are the real problem for the Bills secondary.

How many seasons will Josh Norman remain in the league? Taron Johnson came on late, but his early struggles could be a liability in coverage. Meanwhile, is there another cornerback willing to challenge these two on the roster?

Names like Patrick Surtain and Caleb Farley will reach the top-10 conversation, but they’re not the only cornerbacks worthy of first round conversation. Tyson Campbell was the hot Georgia cornerback entering the season but his counterpart, Eric Stokes was much more consistent in zone coverage for the Bulldogs.

The Bills could move White inside for shiftier targets. In sub packages, Stokes would excel on the perimeter, keeping receivers in front of him at all times. His speed will allow him to ump routes and cause turnovers consistently. Buffalo’s need on the outside makes him a name to watch this offseason.
