Coach Tuesday Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 http://www.profootballweekly.com/2012/04/10/nawrockis-fit-based-mock-draft 10. Buffalo Bills Cordy Glenn | OLT | Georgia Since GM Buddy Nix took control of the draft in 2010, the Bills have plucked both their first-round picks from the Southeast, where Nix was born, coached and scouted and has especially strong ties. OLT Demetress Bell signed with Philadelphia, leaving the Bills without a tackle possessing left tackle feet. Glenn showed continual improvement on the blind side as a senior and gives Nix enough reason to believe he can handle the task in the pros.

mattsox Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Nawrocki Is the man. He's always guessed the Bills pick correct dating back to the 2006 Draft. Go back and search for yourself. I know this isn't his final mock, but check his final. I'll take the BET anyday of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well...at least he's picking a tackle. Not the right one, but a tackle nonetheless. Bobbie Massie is probably a better pick than he is, though. I'm certain Reiff and Martin are better picks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 i am intrigued by cordy glenn. the guy is raw, but definately has the size for the position. i remember hearing all the talk of how he was dominating people at the senior bowl practices and i think i would trust that the front office put the work in and saw something they really like if he is the pick at 10.

Bobbie Massie is probably a better pick than he is, though. I'm certain Reiff and Martin are better picks as well. Glenn was so-so at OLT for Georgia in the best college conference. At the same time, it'd be a mistake to take a player like that with one year at the position and who seems best suited as a guard or perhaps a RT in the NFL. He's not a NFL OLT, and only got by in college with superior arm length and strength. A OLT needs a lot more athleticism to handle faster RDE's and 34ROLB's in the pros than in college.

Buddy's usual MO doesn't suggest he would take a one-year guy, unless he disagrees with your analysis and believes Glenn does have the footwork/athleticism necessary to play LT at this level. Just curious -- do you have background/experience in grading out football players beyond being a "fan" of the sport, or did you play/coach at a high level? I only ask because I'm just a fan, and despite the fact I've been watching football for more than 30 years I wouldn't feel qualified to make a definitive statement like "he's not a NFL OLT" with respect to Glenn when there are plenty of "experts" out there who think he has the potential.

NewEra Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The guy is a monster physically. Looks more like a RT than a LT IMO. The fact that he only played a season at LT, it's hard to judge where he fits best. I believe that he will be the 2nd tackle drafted. His pro day was much better than Reiff and Martin. Not to say a better pro day = a better player, but I don't think there was ever a big difference between the 3. If the bills chose Glenn, I understand why. I think he has the highest ceiling of the OTs not named Kalil. I'd prefer to go with bpa, but our OL needs some help and I think he can definitely help.

Depends on who you ask I guess... Named All-America Third Team by Associated Press, and Honorable Mention by Sports Illustrated … First Team All-SEC by Associated Press, ESPN.com, and SEC Coaches… Keep in mind Glenn started 50 Games in his Georgia career and NEVER missed a Game due to injury...He was also an Offensive Captain... He's plenty athletic (5.15 40 @340 lbs...), and strong (31 reps @225)...He may very well be quicker and lighter on his feet if he drops a few lbs...I don't see any reason why he needs to be 340 lbs at LT...And if he's a little lighter it should help his explosiveness off the line... Anyway...Just me, but I don't see Glenn as a so-so prospect at all...I think he's go HUGE upside...And I think he's the exact-type LT prospect Buddy loves...

Nanker Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I doubt we're going to move up to get the only sure LOT that is an NFL starter caliber talent. All others are developmental projects - though some undoubtedly will be thrown into a starting role and it'll be sink-or-swim for them and their teams. If Hairston can hold down the fort - or Nix finds another journeyman to do that, it could buy some time for a guy like Glenn or Reiff or Martin or Adams to develop for 6 months or so. That might be the ticket. Might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cincinnati Kid Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I am not sold on Glenn, but I never watched him play. I have read the reports about him and know that he started 30ish games at G and only 18ish games at T and some of those were RT. If Buddy and Chan make this pick, I'll trust them, but I would prefer someone different. I really want Floyd, but I don't see that happening. I would love Gilmore too, but again, I don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 There are folks on here that refuse to accept the Nix pattern that Nawrocki outlined. The player will come from one of the southern conferences. He will have visited with the Bills prior to the draft. He will not be a one year wonder. The end. From that starting point, you can get a better idea of who the Bills are looking at for the first pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that starting point, you can get a better idea of who the Bills are looking at for the first pick. Two years does not make an inevitable pattern. Do you really truly believe that Buddy Nix would only take a player from a southern conference? You don't think he would take Andrew Luck or RG3 or Kalil with his number one pick? Do you think you really know if Nix's one year wonder theory applies to Cordy Glenn? There is a very good chance IMO, I would bet on it, that he puts a lot more stock in the number of games Glenn started and played on the OL in any position than the number of games at LT, which he could be considered a "one year wonder". Nix also LOVES big guys, yet Spiller was his first pick for the Bills. He loves players from big schools who played in big conferences but his second and third picks, Troup and Carrington were not from big schools in big conferences. Nix likes about 6-7 different things from his players. But if they have 5-6 of those 6-7, he is all over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he would be a beast in the running game and just big enough for pass protection until he really gets some experience. And I'm sure going against Super Mario every day in practice can only accelerate the learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A OLT needs a lot more athleticism to handle faster RDE's and 34ROLB's in the pros than in college. he was best suited for gaurd while he was developing. UGA moved him to LT his senior year because they felt he would do well there, and he did. He was an all SEC tackle. best confrence in the nation, no one can argue that point. He is a freak athlete that needs coaching, news flash, ever guy coming out of college needs coaching. He has proven he can handle tackle in the SEC. He was not 'So-So'. That is an opinion, but one that is backed with little info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 EVEN IF HE STARTED AT GUARD THE LINE WOULD BE HAIRSTON OT GLENN G WOOD C LEVETRIE G PEARS OT ID TAKE IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 EVEN IF HE STARTED AT GUARD THE LINE WOULD BE HAIRSTON OT GLENN G WOOD C LEVETRIE G PEARS OT ID TAKE IT. Every QB in the league would. And it may be the line for a year while he developes and gets acclimated to the speed of the league. Personally i think he works in with hairston at LT or starts completely. Hairston is your swing tackle. as pointed out here in other threads, Glenn gives you insurance if Levetre wants crazy money.

Cap'nCrunch Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 If Buddy likes Glenn at #10 I'm all in but Mayock said yesterday on Path to the Draft that he thinks Glenn is a mid-second round value. Just saying. In Buddy We Trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love Gilmore too, but again, I don't see it happening. Call me crazy, and please don't think I am a smartass, but how can you offer an opinion on Glenn (pro or con) if you admittedly never watched him play? I mean, reading reports on someone only gives a partial picture on that player. I live in GA, watch all UGA games, and can attest to Glenn's huge upside; a very athletic & powerful OL who is very coachable. Not sure if he merits the 10th pick but he will do well in the NFL.
