In this episode, we dive into the recent NFL draft selection made by the Buffalo Bills, who have picked cornerback Max Hairston from Kentucky in the first round. This choice has sparked discussions among fans, especially since Hairston wasn’t a widely speculated choice for the first round. However, his impressive attributes, such as a towering height of 6'1" and a blazing speed of 4.28, make him a promising addition to the Bills' defense.

We explore how Hairston fits into the team’s strategy, potentially starting opposite Christian Benford. Despite concerns regarding his prior shoulder injury and tackling skills, the Bills coaching staff is confident in his ability to develop into a reliable player. With the excitement surrounding his energetic presence and versatility in both zone and man coverage, fans are optimistic about his future contributions on the field.

Join us as we analyze the potential impact of Hairston’s arrival, discuss the next steps in the draft, and speculate on the opportunities the Bills are looking to address in the upcoming rounds. Whether you’re tuning in for the player evaluations or predictions for the draft continuation, this episode has you covered with all things Bills. Listen now & Go Bills!

In this episode of the 'Circling the Wagons', we discuss the Buffalo Bills' AFC Conference Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs 32-29 a week later. We do a general post mortem on why the Bills lost, what contributed to that loss (besides officiating), whether we'll watch the Super Bowl or boycott it, what the Bills could've done differently, and where that leaves Buffalo as an organization in the future. We also talk about future needs for the Buffalo Bills and what positions they should actively look at pursuing in Free Agency and the Draft in the coming months. Where do we go from here? A lot to digest as we continue through the 5 stages of grief. Listen now and Go Bills!
