Was it buddy who said only ever draft tackles, if they don’t work  you can always move them inside? 

Buddy is the one who said don't draft a QB until you're ready to retire so they can't fire you if you draft a bust.  Then he drafted EJ Manuel and skipped town.

Also TE's.https://iowa.rivals.com/news/iowas-mt-rushmore-te 

Dallas Clark

Scott Chandler

Marv Cook

Jonathon Hayes

 

The two TE's Iowa has right now are considered the best in NCAA and possible better prospects than all the others who came before. Amazing. https://www.hawkeyenation.com/football/noah-fant-rank-atop-iowa-tight-ends

 

Penn State was LB U

Iowa was and is TE U

 

 

As an Irish fan, I have to defend our claim as Tight End U: Fasano (DAL), Carlson (SEA), Rudolph (MIN), Eifert (CIN), Niklas (ARI), Koyack (JAX), and Smythe (MIA), all just within the past 12 years.

All worthy however Iowa has you beat. They have a group of great and a larger group of good.

 

Clark and Cook are HOF worthy.

That's because Iowa seems to regularly produce good OLers.  It's like back in the day when Penn State used to be noted for its LBs. 

 

I know its not quite the same level as what you are talking about...but Sean Lee, Paul Poslusney, Aaron Maybin, Navarro Bowman and Tamba Hali, Dan Connor, and LaVar Arrington arent exactly "back in the day"

 

(Okay..one of those things isnt qute like the other, but I couldnt resist)

 

Also, pay attention to #11 Micah Parsons - He will be the next one on that list...

Amen, brotha.  I don’t know if he’ll be good, but a traffic cone would be just a good as Groy.  

 

At least it might trip someone up lol

I mean, I knew going into this season it'd be hard to watch going in, but Groy specifically has been brutal. Even knowing what to expect going into the season, he still manages to find ways to get me riled up.

He's filtered through 3 organizations in a year.

 

Seattle, NE, and now San Fran.

 

How good can he be?  Worth taking a shot on him though, I guess.

 

 

 

It wouldn't be too hard to be better than most of the Bills OLers with the possible exception of LT Dion Dawkins.

Don't forget Buddy fooled 'em all by saying that Cordy Glenn wasn't an OT.  Just like he did with Michael Jasper being a DT and then switching him to an guard. 

 

Or drafting Aaron Williams high in the 2nd round of 2011 to play CB thereby passing on Andy Dalton.  Williams couldn't play CB and was moved to safety. 

 

Have to laugh at Buddy's draft "prowess" in taking players who couldn't play their established position and converting them. That ain't a strategy, it's a fall back to cover your losses.

but,but,but everybody said he was fine when wood went down!  is it him getting beat by an entire dline stunting inside? ....or his lack of understanding what to call at the line?

But he actually was fine when Wood went down a couple of years ago. What happened to the guy?

well on his right side he has miller trying to block his guy and whoever cuts inside of mills.  on his left, he's got whoever is skating ducasse backwards or turning inside of him.

i think that recent grade ducasse got from pff? as being the best at pass pro is equilant to all the national love that tyrod got....til last night.

It speaks volumes that we are trying to improve our OL with roster castaways and guys who have had trouble sticking with an organization. 

 

It would suggest that our line is comprised of borderline practice squad caliber players.

 

And that makes sense!  We've all seen them play!  

 

Good work Beane!  It's not like we have a stud young QB with the hopes of the entire franchise sitting on his shoulders or anything!
