The Buffalo Bills moved up four spots, from pick 66 overall (Round 3) to pick 62 (Round 2), in order to select cornerback Davison Igbinosun. The three-year starter at Ohio State brings plenty of experience and healthy dose of physicality as a press-man cover corner.
We also learned after Igbinosun was selected that he was a focus of the Bills during the pre-draft process. President of football operations/general manager confirmed that he attended Igbinosun’s pro day, and that the team also had him
in for an official top-30 visit.
