Thanks for that! I do agree that Glenn most fits Buddy's tendencies...In many ways actually...All-SEC LT does not hurt either...

Exactly! Newton basically broke every Rookie QB record there was right? He was a ROOKIE...If he takes the next step he's going to be absolutely scary...

QB: 7 RB: 1 WR: 8 TE: 5 T: 8 G/C: 3 DE: 5 DT: 5 MLB: 5 OLB :8 CB: 8 S: 4 P: 7 K: 2

Glenn started one year at LT and was All-SEC...Coaches and AP...He went up against the best competition in the Country for a year at LT and did pretty well...Plus he was an excellent OG before that... I really don't care much where others have him because I'm purely going off what I've seen of Glenn, Martin, and Reiff...And my evaluation is based on who I think is going to be the better Pro LT...Nothing else...I feel like Glenn is going to be the better NFL LT...I don't think Reiff is a LT whatsoever...Martin will be in time...But I think Martin is going to struggle a bit, especially early in his career, because he's not a great athlete and he's not a huge guy either...I admit I may be a bit higher on Glenn than some...But he's a massive guy with good feet, good strength, excellent wing-span, and a HUGE upside...He's the type of player Buddy Drafts at OT...He would provide depth everywhere along the O-Line... Like I've said before...I would rather the Bills NOT take an OT at #10...But if they do, I hope it's Glenn...

That would be picture-perfect would it not?

The Bills are not going to Trade up...They need picks... And I'd rather have Cordy Glenn than Reiff or Martin...I think Glen is going to end up being the best LT outside of Kalil...I'm not sure Reiff will ever play LT in the NFL...And Martin is possibly a year or two away...Plus...Glenn can give you experienced Depth anywhere along the line...

He was asked about this exact thing at his Pro Day by Mike Mayock...He basically said "Never again...I'm staying at this weight (213)..." The Scouts concerns may be legit...But...Who the heck does NOT love to eat?...

I think you misunderstood what I was asking... I was not asking where Hairston would go this year coming out of College again...I was asking where he would go this year knowing he started 7 games at LT in the NFL, and looked alright doing so...Knowing what you NOW know about him...Where would he go compared to this bunch coming out...Because regardless of what anybody thinks of Hairstons future at LT, he WAY overachieved as a Rookie based on where he was Drafted... I think he would be a 1st Round Pick now...Maybe late 1st...But 1st nonetheless...I really do...

You have to stand pat sometimes...When Freddie got hurt he was 3rd in the NFL in Rushing...Fitz was one of the least Sacked QB's in the NFL...The Bills O-Line is not perfect...But they are 4 deep (plus Jasper) from OG to OG, and they have GLARING needs elsewhere including LT, OLB, CB, and WR... Taking an OG at #10 would be worse than taking a RB at #8 when you already have 2 RB's on the Roster with Pro-Bowl potential... Oh wait...

"We’re going to draft a tackle if we can. If there’s one there is what I mean. If there’s one we think can play we’re going to draft a tackle. You can never have too many tackles. This could be an exception, you can have exceptions to this but it’s easier to move a guy from tackle to guard than it is from guard to tackle, obviously. We draft tackles and we are at pretty good shape at guard and center." Buddy Nix

I'll 2nd that!!!

Totally 100% agree! Glenn is just blooming as a Player and an athlete...That kid is massive and he's REAL light on his feet considering...He played one year at LT, but there's no reason he can't develop into a REAL good one...With NFL Coaching and conditioning we're talking about a potential monster here...Almost 6-6 and over 340 lbs. and he runs a 5.15...Great feet, good balance...He seems like a good humble person as well in interviews...I think the sky is the limit for this kid...To me he's as good a prospect as Anthony Davis was a few years ago...And Glenn went against WAY tougher competition in College...Davis went #11 Overall and has started at LT for the 49ers ever since...Don't see why Glenn can't do the same... I've been saying all along if The Bills take an OT at #10 it's got to be a kid they feel can beat out Hairston...I think Glenn has a chance...Reiff?...No way... Glenn Combine

That film vs. LSU was impressive...That's a hell of a good Defense and some great prospects he was going against...he made it look easy at times...Showed great balance...Kept his feet under him...That game showed he belongs with the big boys did it not?...Those dive blocks...at that size? That was pretty impressive...I'm like you...The idea of this kid is growing on me by the minute...And I agree he got better as the Season went on...That fact did not get by the Associated Press or The SEC Coaches who both made him 1st Team All-SEC...After watching more and more of Glenn I'm warming up to taking him at #10 overall...To me he is clearly a better option than Reiff, Martin, or Adams...I don't think it's even close... This is where it gets interesting...One would think The Bills will be looking to Trade Down if it's Glenn...But I'm betting after watching enough SEC Film Buddy is going to be convinced Glenn won't slide too far into Round #1...We'll see I guess...

Well...We'll see...That's some MAJOR rarefied air though... Hutch is a 7 time ALL-Pro and 2 time Offensive Lineman of the Year in the NFL...He's Started 157 Games in 11 Season... We'll see where DeCastro rates in a decade... Go Blue!...

Just a small thing...Fina was actually Drafted to be Ritcher's replacement at LG and was pushed over to LT when Wolford was stolen away...

I agree... But I don't always agree with Buddy...so... I think in the end, with me at least, I'm most concerned with Reiff...Because though I admit he's a decent mid-late 1st type of Prospect with good technique and smarts, I think physically and athletically he's peaked...And I think he's going to REALLY struggle at LT in the NFL...From what I see on his Film he's getting by on solid coaching, grit, and technique...That's vs. Big Ten competition...I think when he lines up across from the big boys in the NFL, he's going to get it handed to him at LT...And if that happens he does not have much room to grow athletically...Again this is JMO...But I see Reiff as a lousy value at #10 overall...Like I said, if they take a flyer I hope it's on Glenn...

Oh don't get me wrong...It's 100% certainty The Bills take a LT prospect by the end of the 4th Round...100%...I'm only questioning the value, after Kalil of course, at #10 overall...Especially where Reiff is concerned...IF they Draft an OT at #10 I'd rather see them take a flyer on Glenn to be honest...But that's a sizable gamble too...If they could somehow Trade Down, pick up an extra pick or two, and still grab Glenn I would love it...But at #10, I like Floyd, Gilmore, Kuechly, and maybe a couple more over any of these OT's not named Kalil...

And that's Buddy's opinion... Seriously though, start as a Rookie 2-3 seems right...Be effective starting as a rookie?...

It's funny, but I think The Bills will REALLY like Glenn because he's going to remind them a bit of Hairston...He's a HUGE man who has better feet than you would expect...I'm not in favor of Drafting any of these OT's not named Kalil at #10 overall...I don't think there is good value there...But in a Trade Down scenario I would LOVE to snag Glenn...I think he's going to be a better Pro than Reiff, Adams, or Martin...I think he would push Pears, or one of the OG's big-time as a Rookie, and add MUCH need OT depth...

Agreed! Like I've said a million times now, Hairston is being WAY undervalued by everyone...He could not have come into a worse situation last season as a Rookie (no off-season, no mini camps, hurt in training camp, pushed in to START at LT for several games), and he came out looking pretty good...They say players improve more from their 1st to 2nd season than any other year...So I have a feeling Hairston is going to make another HUGE step in 2012...And he'll have to, for sure... Plus, where would he go NOW in THIS Draft? I think he might be a 1st Round Pick in this Draft...Knowing what we know now...Just saying...

Fair enough...But let me ask you this...Knowing what you know now about Hairston, where do you think he would go in THIS Draft? I'm guessing it would be a LOT higher than the 4th Round...A LOT higher... So what's the alternative? Because I seriously doubt anyone in this Draft not name Kalil could beat out Hairston at this point...Free Agency is about done...I think your fear about Hairston is warranted in a way...It is the LT Position, and it's VERY important...But lets face it...There have been FAR more amazing come-from-nowhere stories in the NFL than a 4th Round Draft Pick rising to start at LT... You may be fighting the inevitable...Be happy Hairston got the experience he did in 2011...And hope for the best...

Wow! This is some priceless observation here... So...You're critical of a 4th Round Draft Pick because he did not beat out a 2 year incumbent?...Incumbent LT mind you...Even though the Rookie had no off-season training, no mini-camps, and an abbreviated Training Camp due to injury?...The same Rookie comes in and starts 7 Games when Bell goes down...And when Bell came back they split time the rest of the way (at least while Bell was healthy). And this is proof to you that Hairston is not good enough to deserve some optimism? Because he could not beat out Bell as a Rookie? Okey doke...

He may... He's got off-field, and on-field (more practice habits and desire) concerns that could push him down a bit...

Well...I would not expect a 4th Round Rookie with no off-season training, no mini-camps, and an abbreviated training camp due to injury, to come in a look like the next Anthony Munoz...I think considering all that Hairston did pretty well...Was he perfect? No...Can he improve? Of course...But again I pose this question...What OT in this Draft not name Kalil will beat out Chris Hairston for the LT spot in Buffalo? Anyone?

So name me the great would-be NFL LT that will be available at #10 overall, come in as a Rookie, and beat out Hairston? Because I don't think that guy exists in this Draft...
