One of the weaknesses that came up for Buffalo was the lack of depth at the cornerback spot, especially with Kaiir Elam not panning out after being taken in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

One NFL Draft edge prospect was sure the Dallas Cowboys would call his name at No. 12, only to be disappointed later.
