Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I just remember Kromer had people believing John Miller was a future star OG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NOBODY who expects Cody Ford to be on the Bills’ 53 when rosters are set. Nobody. He has been an abject failure of a draft pick to date, which is precisely the reason why I don’t see the need for fans to continue to pile on. He’ll be brought into OTAs and camp and given a final chance with Kromer. It’s all upside; either he makes it or he’ll be gone. I am 100% certain Beane is not basing anything he does in FA or the draft on an expectation that Cody Ford is a significant piece of the puzzle.

streetkings01 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Maybe Saffold helps Ford out? To be fair…..Ford hasn’t exactly been around top tier guards to help him learn the position……he was a tackle his college career and 1st half of his NFL career. Maybe a good oline coach in Kromer and pro bowl guard in Saffold can resurrect his career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I'd like to have hope that Ford could be something, but I'm not going forget what I've seen from him on the field. I doubt he is ever anything more than a backup OL'man in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I'm sure that is the Bills hope. But if they believe in Bates (which I think they do), then Ford could be cut soon to make room for a top tier free agent signing--Chandler Jones, I hope. And if that happens, look for interior line depth in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 9 hours ago, junior said: Bates, probably. He might be Plan A at this point for RG. Given how the season ended. I would say Bates has certainly earned Plan A, unless he struggles on the right (he says he can play across the line). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bates has earned the right to start, but I also think McDermott likes him being available to play all 5 OL positions Well, I guess I see it this way... I recently heard heard that Kromer likes quick, athletic o-lineman... That being said, I don’t think Cody Ford fits that description...I could be wrong, but I always thought Ford moved like a sloth...Dude just always seems a few mph slower than everyone else... All the power to Kromer, though, if he can work his magic on that specimen...😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting/signing DB's before anything, weak OL/DL, and 7-9 seasons. The board back then was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Ford has not gotten better over the years as you would expect a 2nd round pick to do. This was an unfortunate pick. At the time people thought it was a decent risk, but it has not panned out. He’s cheap, but if he doesn’t show significant progression in training camp, I hope they would use his roster spot on someone with upside.

At least for competition at the RG spot and for next year when Saffold will likely be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
