Glenn could be worth a late #1 or a #2? Free agency and the draft have no good LT's

 

Lawson = a late pick

 

Keep Lawson if we can't get a 3rd or better. He's still a good young player with potential on a good contract to boot.

I still don't understand trading Glenn when his value has never been lower.

 

If they're investing in a new QB, I hope Glenn returns to health to help keep the new QB in the lineup in an upright position.

You are assuming Glenn, himself, can stay in an upright position.  A huge assumption to make after last season

That would be good business practice. If they could get some form of Glenn/Dawkins tackle combo with Richie, Groy & Miller, that element of continuity should stand said rookie in good stead to start early-ish.

Glen will not play at RT and has been sat just like Sammy Watkins when his foot was funky. I bet he is healthy and wants out. We need to save money at add picks. Our Defense of line, offensive lines and line backing cores are thin. Cleveland may see Thomas retire. Giants and Indy offensive lines suck. 

This is a huge Buffalo cleansing. Out with the old and in with the new.

I wouldn't so quick to move Glenn. IF healthy(big IF) he is a pretty big piece on that line. O-line is already pretty thin with Wood retiring. Not sure we could get better value for production(assuming health) unless we draft a lineman. 

 

Definitely need to add to the o-line.

Agree with both you guys.  Bill's have made a lot of cap freeing moves since we heard about Glenn on the trading block.

Any team trading for Glenn will check him out during the physical and if his foot is still bad they won't accept him.

 

So if he is healthy, I say keep him.  I want the OL to be as strong as possible this year.

We already loss Wood.

i have never heard this. not calling you a liar by any means, just haven't heard it. if glen is healthy, and wants to be a part of the process, then he is definitely one of our five best o linemen. i am all for lining up the best five to protect our new qb and block for shady and co. i would love to see the ol turn back to a position of strength. but if cordy really wants out, then let's get what we can.

indeed. if he is healthy, he is a damn fine lineman. find a place for him and let's roll!

If we got a 3rd for Taylor, then Glenn should get us a 1st.

 

I don’t think Glenn will fetch a first but if I’m the Bills I’m looking for what the Texans got for Duane Brown who basically retired etc. and hadn’t played in a year plus

 

The Texans I believe got a 2018 3rd round pick and a 2019 2nd round pick for Brown and a 2018 5th rounder. I think they could get somewhere in that ball park

I can see an August trade being the best return for Glenn. A team is more willing to give up a higher pick in August after an injury and a draft that is 8 months away. Bills need to show Glenn is healthy in preseason.

i don’t see Lawason bringing much in picks and i don’t think cutting him saves much. Lawson isn’t great but could be very valuable rotational depth.

Yep.......put TALENT around that young QB.

 

And mark my words........if they go to camp without Glenn to serve as a motivation for Dawkins to aspire to that LT job...........I predict Dawkins will take a step back.

 

Competition is very important, especially for developing young players.

 

Sometimes young players without competition get lazy or simply get trapped in their own head and can't just play fast and loose...........they operate better in ACTUAL competitive situations with other players.......which is the wiring that got them to the upper levels of the game in the first place.

 

We tend to take for granted that good rookie years will mean better sophomore seasons and that's not necessarily how it works.

 

With TT gone it's looking ever more likely that a guy like Rosen, Darnold or Jackson will be starting for Buffalo as a rookie and the better the supporting cast the better the chances of success for that guy over his first two seasons.    

 

That's how the Eagles and Rams just accelerated the production of THEIR young QB's.
