Why a safety?

Why do some people say we need a safety (either FS or SS)

Star-divide

Bills Fans, like most of us, I enjoy reading too much about our favorite team, and am a first time poster.  

So I have seen a few people say that FS/SS could be an option for us in the draft (first few rounds).  I don't see the need for us to spend a high draft pick on a safety. Witner has been solid (not yet a game changer though) and Ko Simpson was also solid is his first year, is it possible people just forgot about him b/c he missed all of last year?  

I'm just wondering what rational people have that our safety tandem of Witner/Simpson needs to be changed, I think it's fine as is.  We still have higher priorities IMO (WR, TE, CB, DT, QB?)

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Simpson
Don't forget he's coming off an injury, and may not be the same player, Also he's not the best ever to play the position so one could always upgrade. Although you are correct this team does have bigger needs.
Man do I miss #78

Welcome to the site!

The Bills need depth at the position. They've shown in the past two years that they like to keep 5 safeties; they've got 3 solid ones in Whitner, Simpson and Wilson. Look for the team to keep John Wendling on the roster as a specialist; he could be tried out at corner as well. I don't expect the Bills to use a draft pick on a safety - if the team wants another depth player, it'll very likely be Bryan Scott or Jim Leonhard.

Don't agree.....
Ko was a very athletic, good tackling safety but it will be interesting to see how he comes back from the ankle injury. Ko has all the potential in the world and there is no way that we draft a safety with the 11th pick. We NEED a bigger, faster cornerback that can play in our cover 2.

Round 1.  CB - Love Jenkins
Round 2.  WR - Move up to get Hardy
Round 3.  TE - Bennett??

It would make me very happy if we traded down in round one to get another second.

I LOVE what we have done in the offseason and I am excited to see who we draft!!!!

I am a huge Bills fan! Have been since I was 5! I miss the good old days with Marv, Bruce, Talley, Ballard, Hull, Reed, Lofton and Thurman!
