Special K Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 This is the third game I made a point to watch him, and he seemes to be a very impressive run-blocking tackle. Not to mention the fact that Arkansas flip-flops its offensive lineman from left side to right side pending where the ball is spotted on the field.(He has consistent experience playing both Left and Right tackle) I'm wondering if the drafniks on the board are aware of this guy, and if they think he may last into the second round.... I'd like to see this road-grading RT opening up holes for CJ and FJ for the Bills next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 320-pound (just throwing out a number) beast. A couple of interesting linebackers with Arkansas as well. I don't know if they are in the next draft, but they were good.

I like the idea of adding trench players and passrushers before we re-address qb, just like you guys. But let me offer a darkhorse candidate to be a developmental qb. Zach Corallas (QB) Univ. of Cincinnati....check me on the spelling, he's a junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see this road-grading RT opening up holes for CJ and FJ for the Bills next year. I give you Marcus Cannon: Jersey Number: #61 Height & Weight: 6'6 - 350 lbs. Ranked #72 on our Top 100 Prospects Board 2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report: person Marcus Cannon, OT, TCU When any college football fan thinks about TCU, it is their defense that comes to mind first…and rightfully so. However, the Horned Frogs did not go to a BCS Bowl in 2009 and are eyeing another one this season just because of their defense. The offense may not be dynamic, but they are smart and control the game. In order to do that, TCU relies very heavily on their offensive line and nobody in purple is more important to the offensive line than tackle Marcus Cannon. After serving as a backup as a redshirt freshman in 2007, Cannon stepped into a starting role at right tackle in 2008. He was often a very dominant player and saved his best outing for the Poinsettia Bowl against Boise State. By 2009, Cannon took over just about every game; he did not allow a sack all season and went up against some very good defensive ends. Cannon made the move to left tackle in 2010 and he could play either spot at the next level. At 6-6 and 350 pounds, Cannon is a big lineman who has enough athleticism to move his feet and stop the more nimble ends. Cannon could sneak into the first round, but he is more likely a second or third round selection at this point. Yet, for a second or third rounder, he is a very polished blocker who has the ability to immediate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 If we can find a badass, road grating, mean, snarly RT...this offense will be much improved. Wood should be back to normal next season, so the interior of our line will be solid. If DBell continues to improve and we add the aforementioned RT, our line may finally become a contributing unit on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DBell continues to improve and we add the aforementioned RT, our line may finally become a contributing unit on this team. Love is your man then. I saw a mock where Carimi, Constanzo, and Sherrod were gone in the first and we took Love in the second. I was very happy with that. It may be a "reach" but this year the Tackle position is weak and Love is arguably the meanest in the crop. If the rumors of Wang practices at Guard are true you would have Love, Wang, Wood, Levitre, Bell Or Bell Levitre, Wood, Wang, Love For your 2011/2012 line. Love could battle Bell for LT or he is probably better than any RT on the roster and would start week1 and hopefully for the next 10 years. Plus it gives a more romantic feel to the Erection Company. And if by some unlikely turn of events they're protecting Luck the double entendre will make your head explode. Edited November 28, 2010 by Why So Serious?

Peace Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Love, Wang, Wood, Levitre, Bell Or Bell Levitre, Wood, Wang, Love For your 2011/2012 line. You're way ahead of yourself on Wang and frankly, Wood too. Wood is a fan favorite and I hope he returns to his former self next year but he's not been much to see this year.

Thoner7 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Carimi or Love in the 2nd would me awesome. I havent seen the TCU guy but I have heard he is more of a G in the NFL. Sherrod and Soldier stink thought I wouldnt want them at all One of my faroite guys is Carpenter from Bama. He is also regarded as a G but 3rd-4th round he would be a road grading monster. Another late round guy is LSUs blacksdale who could be a solid interior prospect. With no true stud LTs in this draft, I am seeing a lot of good road grading RTs and G/Cs. Carimi or Love could be 2nd rounders. There are a handful of good Gs and Cs. If the Bills invest 2 picks in rd 2-4 on quality lineman I think we could solidify our OL. Of course I said the same thing last year and we didnt do anything about it Edited November 28, 2010 by Thoner7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And foolishly, hopelessly, incorrect about Wood he is rated in non Buffalo based sports talk as a top Guard in 2010. Not to mention if you watch the games and notice that thier isn't immediate pressure in the QBs face on every play anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, you are 100% correct wrt Wood. The best OG on this team is Andy Levitre, by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started off the season as merely an average G, but his last 3-4 games he has played like he belongs in the upper echelon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Just bringing this topic back for more opinions from our draft experts. The Bills O-line was solid this week, but I still think this guy would be a big upgrade to the line, as he is a teriffic run blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best OG on this team is Andy Levitre, by a lot. Couldn't agree more, most of the pressure has been comming right up the gut. Many will blame Haertenger (sp), but I've been blaimimg Wood all year long. Although I hope that this is all based on his injury and blah, blah, blah,.... But he seems to be a bit of an Ass. Levitre, on the other hand, has turned out to be a legitimate NFL player. When Woods muscule equals his mouth, we might have the decent OL envisioned when he was drafted in the first round.

stony Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 You're correct about Wang.

Not to mention if you watch the games and notice that thier isn't immediate pressure in the QBs face on every play anymore. Why the rush to move Hang out of center to put an unproven player in at guard? Our interior is our strength, so until there is talk about moving Wood to center, we should keep him at guard where (as you point out) has been very good of late. I think with another year in the weight/film rooms will make Bell even more impressive than he has been thus far. A high quality RT is what we need in my opinion and then line can then go forward and jell into a strength of our roster. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaPolian8693 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) He's a top prospect. I've only seen them play twice but both times he looked very impressive to me. I like that he can and does routinely play both left and right tackle. There may be other players I would prefer with our top pick, but he would be a good solid pick imo.

1B4IDie Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This is a weak class of Offensive Tackles. Love will never be there in the 3rd unless he catches a significant injury. He'll be drafted somewhere in the 17-49 range. It would be an ideal pick for the Bills with their second round pick (39). That gives you 2 high second round picks, 1 first round pick, a serviceable Vet, and D. Bell for your O-line. The O-line complaints should go away.
