Buffalo Bills in a Southern comfort zone

Posted Apr 30, 2011
The 5-foot-10, 223-pound Da'Norris Searcy provides insurance, but also adds more talent to the safety position. He was overshadowed by the numerous high-profile Tar Heel defensive draft picks, but ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. had him rated as the second-best strong safety. Johnny White was rated too high on the Bills' draft board to pass up in Round Five. He is a complementary back with outstanding speed. (Buffalo News)
