I hope he succeeds. It would be a very good story. Breaking a sign at a fast food restaurant is no where near what he went through to get where he is. He sounds like a person trying to turn his life around. If you can not root for that, then it says more about you and less about him.

to a point i agree. If you have a LT you know will not need help against an opposing DE then you have an extra guy to throw to

I laughed so hard at that, and then felt very bad for doing so.

If your Oline is set, and i mean a wall, suddenly the entire offense looks better. Chan can use his entire play book not just the 'shotgun 2.5 second passing game part'. The Dline was solidified already w Williams and Anderson. These two signings will make everyone on D look better. You still could get 3 more good players with your 3rd and 2 4th rounders. A starting Lb can be found here as well as a WR and a CB. A great Oline can control an entire game.If you can run and pass the ball you keep your D on the sideline. A well rested D is an aggresive one. I do not see him making the move, but if he could, it would be awesome. To finally have a great OL and DL, i am sorry but the old "the game is won or lost in the trenches' is true. Just ask NE

I voted for Kuechly, i am not a big fan of taking a LB that high. Of course their are exceptions, but to me he does not scream can't miss/stud LB.

If it only took swapping your first for theirs and your second rounder then yes, i would do it in a heartbeat. Saying that, i think Nix stays pat, and grabs Glenn.In 2 years from now we are very happy we got to good starters from this draft instead of one.

they just may do that, but i would not be suprised if they tried to move one of them inside. Unless they think Jasper will be a viable back up option this season. Bills are thin on interior guys, especially given Woods injury history. No i do not think Woods is a D Bell, but sometimes a player has bad luck and can not stay healthy.

I am on the same page A guy like Glenn could be the perfect fit. He can be groomed for LT, rotating in with Hairston. Or could play either gaurd spot. Glenn started his entire senior year at LT and was an all SEC performer. he went against the best in the country every week. If Buddy takes him i would believe he thinks Glenn is the real deal.

yeah man, Buddy just seems to me like a guy that is stuck in his ways. He knows and likes Southern players, hard to argue when the SEC wins the NC every year. Not sure who i would take in round one, my heart likes Glenn being a UGA fan, but not sold on him this high. If Buddy like it i am cool with it. What about Glenn in the first and either Hill or Jeffrey in the second??

Yeah, but hasn't Buddy been pretty 'hands on' when it comes to his early picks? Maybe can someone find the Pro Days Buddy did attend? This coupled with the visits may shed more light on who the first pick could be?

Pro Day was April 3. I can not find where it says the Bills where there. Looks like Chicago was there and Claussen was.

Exactly

Great effort. And i like the draft except for the first two picks. I just do not see buddy going outside the south in rounds one and two. I think McGee makes the team, and has a great season. I think White(olb) makes it on the team, if he can stay healthy. He is my sleeper guy.

You can not play a game when you are talking about your first rounder. Also the way Pro Days are set up and the fact you can have 30 guys in for a visit, helps you not say for certain who you want first. Other teams know the Bills needs, if Mayock, Kiper, and McShay do. If he does not come in for a visit, Floyd will not be the pick.

I actually started a thread back in March stating that if Nix was not at Floyd's Pro Day it would be a strong indicator he was not going to be drafted. I got called a moron pretty much, and maybe i am, but i think i am right about this. The fact that Nix was not there and that they do not have him scheduled for a visit, is saying he wont be the pick. I mean Nix has not played a game so far, and if you think he is now, it is probably because you want Floyd at 10.

The one thing i like about Reiff is he was a stud wrestler. This is one thing that can really help an offensive lineman. Oline, as we all know is about leverage. Size and strength are important, but its about moving your guy to somewhere he does not want to go. Dline man in the NFL are big and strong, it usually comes down to who gets the best postioning of hands and who gets lower. Having said all that, i am still not sold on Reiff, would rather Glenn. he has more upside and versatility.

I really do not like a wr out of ND at 10, that has had some issues off the field. But if Buddy and Chan like him, fine. But then to go wr in the second again seems a little tough to swallow. The Bills have other glaring area's of need, and i would find it hard to believe there will not be players with similar 'grades' available in those areas. Couple this with the fact the Jeffrey struggled this year with his weight and production on the field, i do not like him in the second. And as one other poster mentioned, Buffalo is not the place for someone who lacks discipline in eating. Too much great food!!! They Bills already have like 9 guys under contract at WR. And i know that does not mean much, but i think Chan believes his system can make a wr a star. When you look at OT and LB, the Bills are in serious need of players.

He may be the pick, but i can gaurantee you if you asked Buddy Nix if he saw Sports Science, he would tell you "we didnt have that course when i went to college". Btw, did Buddy go to Notre Dames Pro Day?

The only thing that worries me about him is his weight distribution. He seems very top heavy, and has smaller legs. I hope the ankle sprain was just a freak occurence, but think the Bills must add a tackle early(by round 3). Someone that could rotate in with Hairston. And in two years could play RT or move Hairston there. Round 6 or 7 find another project guy that needs a year on the PS, if the draft fals that way.

They just restructered McGee's contract. Very team friendly/incentive ladden. And Florence is solid, not great. I agree they let McKelvin walk barring a huge break out year. I think they need a CB in the first three rounds. But also think they need LB help and OL help too. To me anything past round 3 is a big gamble as to what you get. Could be a great player but far too many wash out in a year or two.

I agree with your theory. Do you agree that players can have a similar Value wether it is a percent or number or letter grade? IE if you have DeCastro rated at 4.8 out of 5 and you also have say Gilmore at 4.8 out of 5, would you not then look at what you need more now?

To many CB's early. Gilmore and Williams would be your starters? Still leaves you with McGee, McKelvin, Florence and Rodgers before Josh Robinson. I like Gilmore at 22, and OLB at 37 but think you gotta go OT before the fourth round.

after hearing that i wonder was it edited some? I mean Williams sounds crazy, half sentences, repeats himself like Rainman, very strange. Think maybe he has been hit in the head a few times and wants others to feel his pain? Seriously, this goes against everything the NFL is very publicly trying to stop- 'Head Shots'. 'Cut off the head and the body dies'. Not to mention taking out guys knees. If Goodell doesn't throw Williams out of the league for ever, he is allowing a huge liability to be involved.

Thats your opinion, isnt it? And i mean it honestly. You got a Micheal Vick that took a beating last year, and probably will again this year. If he goes down who do they have to back him up? I am being very serious. And Vicks style of play lends him to getting hit more often then most QB's. I get that on paper they look great, but i wouldn't bet on them. They play in the same division as the Giants. The Cowboys are solid but not great. A lot of teams in the NFC got better. Packers will be hungry, Detroit is a team on the rise, Chicago is still a tough out, The Saints and Falcons are very solid teams. Carolina and Tampa Bay will be improved. San Fran should win the west. Not much else out there, i will give you that. You could be right, but to say it is a done deal for the Eagles is a stretch.
