The Buffalo Bills have a tough decision to make this offseason regarding starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore. The 26-year-old is set to be a free agent this offseason, and given how he’s played this year, there’s no guarantee that he comes back.

Even if Gilmore does return, the Bills could stand to add another starting-caliber cornerback in this draft that is littered with talented defensive backs. Florida’s Quincy Wilson could be a great option is the Bills are looking for someone to play on the outside.

Wilson has the potential to be a shutdown corner in the NFL given his size (6’1”, 213 pounds) and aggressive mentality. The Florida corner thrives in press coverage, using his long arms to jam receivers and get them off of their routes.

Although Wilson doesn’t have elite speed, he’s a more than capable outside cornerback with the ball skills to make some big plays, and that’s something Buffalo could definitely use.
