Bills have traded 6th rounder for Williams.

Tall corners are susceptible to the double move, because as Danno said, they don't have the same quickness (You can get Richard Sherman with the double move pretty consistently). I was a tall corner being 6'0" tall, and I definitely preferred covering the big receivers. Because the small, quick ones were ridiculously hard for me to deal with without giving them some cushion or getting my hands on them from the jump. With that said, the top receivers in the league are big guys, so we need big corners. When corners start getting to big or too good at handling the taller receivers, they'll go back to smaller receivers and so on and so forth. It's a cycle. But 5'11" is good enough. Jabari Greer never played 5'11" to me. More like 5'8". I can just remember how great he looked when he first got here though....anyways...we'll get corner situated I'm sure.

Look at brent grimes, he's only like 5"7 at best and he has decent interception totals and a very good vertical jump

I don't think you can say smaller/bigger corners are susceptible to this and that - jason david was around 5"9 and got burnt all the time, patrick peterson is 6"1 maybe 6"2 and has some of the fastest feet and change of direction I've seen in a while

it all depends on the player, not their physical attributes

do they have the control of their athletic ability in the end to make a play on the ball no matter who they are covering.

can the guy cover or not? that is all it really boils down to.

it is up to the DC to get the proper match ups each and every time.

Physicality and athleticism are more important than height.

6'1" but can't get in the air or isn't physical enough isn't going to do much against Gronk, Graham, etc...

Thats a good deal for the Bills.

This has the same feel as the tall vs short QB debate.

When Payton first came to town he brought in tons of CB's. Not so much lately though. Maybe he needs to rethink his priorities.

looks like Rob has had his hands all over this offseason... we have signed 4 new dbs and resigned 1...

We have big corners already. What we don't have is a quick, agile guy who can cover those squirty little slot receivers and has a nose for the ball. Fred Thomas was about as tough and instinctive as anybody I've ever seen so it didn't much matter that he was only 5-9.
