The Buffalo Bills are currently in a quiet spot in the offseason as the team does not have any organized team activities at this time. In three weeks, the quiet will be broken by players arriving at training camp at St. John Fisher College. On July 27, 90 players will start their journey to making the 2017 Buffalo Bills roster.

Training camp cannot come soon enough for the Bills’ defense. The defense, which former head coach Rex Ryan claimed would be number one at his introductory press conference, fell far short of that goal. In fact, the defense regressed mightily, failing to match totals from the 2014 season in sacks, interceptions, third-down conversion rate, yards allowed per play, total yards allowed, and total points allowed. The defense mired in mediocrity and confusion needed a change.

With defensive-minded head coach Sean McDermott and new defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier controlling the defense, the team looks to rebound from two forgettable defensive seasons. With these changes in mind, we look into our crystal ball and take a crack at five way too early predictions for Buffalo’s defense this training camp.

Tre’Davious White will win a starting cornerback spot in training camp

The Bills front office staff thought something special of White on draft day. Buffalo elected to trade down and draft White rather than select top-rated cornerback Marshon Lattimore from Ohio State. At his introductory press conference, McDermott praised White’s intelligence and skill set, according to the Buffalo News. The Bills look highly on the attributes of character and skill, and they believe White scores well in both categories.

It only makes sense that the team would give White every opportunity to win a starting job. The openings in the secondary were large, as Stephon Gilmore and Nickell Robey-Coleman have left the team via free agency. Realistically, only Ronald Darby and Kevon Seymour pose a threat to start at cornerback. Shareece Wright was brought in as a depth defender, and Micah Hyde is expected to play safety.

With the competition that White faced in college, he should be able to set immediately at the starting spot.

“He was a four-year starter in the SEC, so that tells you something. He’s not flashy or sexy, but he’s one of the more solid cornerbacks in this draft. He plays off, he plays inside, he plays soft, he plays press. … Even though we don’t talk about him like other players in this draft, he’s still a good football player”, according to NFL Network’s Mike Mayock
