“Gimme him” is a weekly series where we consider which player on the Patriots’ opponent (this week, the Buffalo Bills) New England would want most.

Each team in the NFL, no matter record, has talent on their roster. That notion is no different for the Buffalo Bills.

Though their record is 2-5, which ranks them towards the bottom of the league, they have talented players that could be difference makers on other teams. Since they are playing against the New England Patriots this week, it can’t hurt to think about which of the Bills’ players could hop off the sinking ship and help the championship contenders in New England.

One player in particular in Buffalo is young, talented and could establish a long and successful career with the Patriots. He plays in the secondary for the Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White.

Since entering the NFL as a rookie last year, White has accumulated 89 tackles, four interceptions and one forced fumble that was returned for a touchdown. Though the stats don’t jump off the page, don’t let them fool you. White is one of the best cornerbacks in the league.

Pro Football Focus’s Billy Moy gave grades and descriptions for some of Buffalo’s players earlier this week. Here is what he had to say about the second-year cornerback.

“White – PFF’s Rookie of the Year in 2017 – has been sensational. Among the 174 cornerbacks who’ve seen at least 100 defensive snaps since 2017, White ranks 10th in terms of overall grade; his 86.5 coverage grade ranks ninth; and his 1,541 defensive snaps played over that stretch are the most among all cornerbacks. “White has been one of the best in football since joining the league at breaking up passes. His 25.0 forced incompletion percentage ranks fourth among corners and he’s been good at limiting the damage done on completed passes as well as his 16 coverage stops over that stretch rank 23rd. Opposing quarterbacks have a 69.3 combined passer rating when targeting White, the 24th-lowest allowed by a cornerback since White entered the NFL.”

It’s also worth noting that White was drafted by the Bills to replace Stephon Gilmore, who started his career in Buffalo and then signed with the Patriots during the 2017 offseason.

In Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Patriots secondary was exposed for their inability to prevent big plays downfield. It seemed like they had fixed that issue last week against the Chicago Bears, but they were also a beneficiary of poor quarterback play by Mitchell Trubisky.

The sense is that New England will once again be exposed when they face a great quarterback, which will happen in Week 9 when Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers come to town.

But if Tre’Davious White was able to solidify the No. 2 cornerback spot for the New England, a spot that has not proven to be consistent through seven games, then the Patriots secondary would significantly improve.

But the best part of having White is his age. Gilmore’s contract right now is warranting $13 million per year. So if New England decided to trade him down the road, they would have a more-than-capable cornerback that could take his spot as the top cornerback on the roster, and do such at a potentially much lower financial rate.

It would make all the sense in the world for Bill Belichick to want White. Now if he can just make it happen…
