Bills' Corner Board Doesn't Match Their Mock

Buffalo's needs list starts with secondary and defensive front, and the board at 31 backs that up: Xavier Scott sits 26th on the model, 150th in the room — a gap that dwarfs almost everyone else here. OJ Frederique isn't far behind, another corner the model likes far more than the room does. Quincy Rhodes offers defensive-front value too. Yet the house mock has Buffalo taking Cayden Green, an offensive tackle, at 31. If the model's corners are really this good, the fit case for Green gets harder to make.
