I'm hoping we don't have to do it out of necessity, like we've seen in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I’m sure this was probably answered already, but I couldn’t go through 25 pages to look for it… But was it said why the guy fell so far if he was an all-American? I can’t help but be reminded of Cody Ford when everyone thought he was a first round talent who fell to us in the 2nd…And then we found out why the rest of the league let him fall… So if anyone has any insight why this guy fell, it would be greatly appreciated…👍 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams value positional flexibility. So do the Bills, but they were right, expecially at 59, to take the fella that can man one spot for the next 10 years. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also ONLY a Guard. He’s not going to play Center and he’s not going to be a Tackle. What he is, is a guy who will dominate his man in the run game and will anchor and protect Josh Allen in the pass game. We have an Offensive Line full of RAS All-Stars who are mobile, with position flex. We can afford to finally make the investment on a pure Guard who can be an All-Pro at his position. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I hope they put Torrence on the right side next to Brown. Damien Harris running behind those two will be fun to watch... Cook and Hines too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that was always a problem with both coaching and player. On the one hand they really never allowed him to come in and stick to learning/getting reps in one spot. The kinda jerked him all over a bit. On the other hand, Ford never made any spot they did try him in "his" spot. That shouldn't be an issue with Torrence. He should slide in at RG and stay there for a loooong time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One less thing for him to have to worry about (i.e. switching sides). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One less thing for him to have to worry about (i.e. switching sides). I agree. I do think that playing both sides is not a huge deal but in this case having a guy who just started his last 34 college games at RG moving to another spot makes no sense. He did play a bunch of left guard his freshmen year, but imo just plug him in at RG after he earns it.

newcam2012 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Steal of the draft at pick 59. Could be an all pro guard for years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited about this pick. If we had gotten a massive OT to put next to him I would have been over the moon. If 6’8 375 Dawand Jones becomes an All Pro like he could, we’ll have to live with taking another undersized LB in the 3rd over him. Dang, would have loved seeing him and Cyborg next to each other can you imagine designed runs with Josh behind those 2?
