buffaloboyinATL Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) He is #8 8. Cordy Glenn, OL, Bills: Glenn's the hot name to take over at left tackle for the Bills, and this could be big news for not just the Eagles (who will obviously sign him as a free agent and/or trade for him in five years) but also Ryan Fitzpatrick. Glenn could fortify protection for a quarterback who looked like a Pro Bowler before injury -- or a new contract, you pick -- derailed his season. And while folks might be inclined to chuckle at the Buffalo offense, this is a potentially dangerous unit. Fitzgerald, when healthy, can obviously play. Stevie Johnson is clearly dangerous. And the tandem of Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller is dynamic. Add in a surprising second-round value in Glenn, and it could really help Buffalo meld together for a wild-card run in the AFC. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/19424114/top-impact-rookies-for-2012-nfl-season Edited June 26, 2012 by buffaloboyinATL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoretalk Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 A great pic by the Bills and Buddy worked the media planting the idea he could only play guard. From all of the OTA and mini-camp reports plus his college video this kid is going to be very solid at LT for years to come (Didn't laugh at the sidebar comment in the story about Philadelphia ... we only send them our undrafted LT's). This year's draft combined with last year's has created a very solid team of young players. I really can't think of any team with as much potential success as the Bills last two drafts appear to have given us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) If Glenn can come in and be even half the rookie that Wood or Levitre were, it'll be a major upgrade at LT. Edited June 26, 2012 by UConn James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 From his college tape, he reminds me of another Glenn, Tarik Glenn, who protected Peyton in many of his best years. He should be a very solid player who is actually built perfectly for late season games in Buffalo. Loved this pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and maybe finally the Bills do? Plus some good luck? Glenn could be the steal of the draft. He could honestly be a pro bowler in a year or two. Think he needs some work with the coaches and will have an adjustment period. He has all the tools, and i believe he will be motivated to show he should have gone in the first, because he IS a LT.

Interesting that a guy who played LT for the first time as a senior, who improved weekly against top-flight competition, and who had his best games towards the end, could drop so low. I don't buy that Buddy poisoned the well (so to speak) by claiming he wasn't a LT, and other teams bought it. He has no know history of injuries. And while he is heavy, digging into his history, he only played at 345#, up from 330#, because his coaches told him to add weight. Let's hope he is a steal.

billsfan89 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The thing I like about Glenn is that even if he isn't a franchise LT he can be a great RT or Guard. Which getting that for a upper mid second rounder wouldn't be too bad. So Glenn is 50/50 at LT but has a very good chance to be a very good player elsewhere along the line.

Its not top 10 rookies but rather top 10 impact rookies. Glenn will get the chance to start and play at a position of huge need, not every rookie will be tasked with holding down a position of need that important to their team. Top that off a lot of people had him as a mid to late 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't think of any team with as much potential success as the Bills last two drafts appear to have given us. what are the chances that Nix tells the league that the guy can only play guard and all these GMs fall for it and don't draft him? I doubt that's why he fell. That being said, if I was a rookie football player and the GM of the team that drafted me misrepresented my abilities to get me to fall to the second round and thus decreasing the amount of money I was to earn, I'd be slightly resentful of that.
