More than likely he just wasn't available to work out at the same time. There wouldn't be any sense in specifically not working him out, whether they plan on drafting or not.
Why wouldn't he be available to workout for a team that has a top 10 pick in the draft? That would be a major fail for him and his agent that could cost him a boatload of money. When Buffalo scheduled the workout maybe he wasn't one they wanted to see.

I thought the Bills were gonna run a version of the no huddle(K-Gun)offense? I just don't see Barkley in the Bills plans for the simple fact that he can't drive the ball downfield and won't be able to utilize TJ Graham's speed with the deep passes. I know WGR calls Buscaglia their resident expert, but?

(playing devils advocate myself)...Come on, you know Lynch was one blunt away from a year long suspension. Maybe he would have stayed out of more trouble here but it was highly unlikely. They got what they could for him. And I liked Lynch but I understand why they did what they did.
Yes and before that they were crying about trading McGahee.

To me it all comes down to the top three tackles in the draft. If all three are gone by the time we pick, then I'm trying like hell to move out. If moving out isn't an option, then I'd have to go with best player available. Same thing in round 2, if the QB I'm targeting isn't there, then it's best player available again. After that, then it's best player of positional need.

Bill, I hate to admit it but John C is right about Pears. Look at the Bills depth chart, he isn't even a starter! I'm on the draft Lane Johnson bandwagon. He can play either side of the tackle positions, which would allow Hairston or Pears to move inside. Johnson, Joeckle, and Fisher are the only offensive linemen I'd consider at 8.

I've seen both the UNC and Maryland games, and yes, Glennon played well.
As for accuracy issues, when a guy fails to complete 60% of his passes in college, that's a red flag. When I see games like these, they're what make me believe he has accuracy issues.
A lot of these are just horrible throws...no excuses.
Makes me leery of the guy.
Many of those throws were under duress. He played behind a below average offensive line. He took many hits that's why I don't understand the durability issue as well.

Trick question,right?

That big bodied #88 reminds me of Keith Jackson, Oh Nellie! His QB Keith Price ain't no slouch either!
-
Have you seen Pattersons highlight videos?
Most of his TDs are slants and not long TD receptions.
His is big, fast and can make defenders miss. He's a WR with the elusiveness of Spiller.
One thing scouts point out is that he only has 1 year of college ball experience as his first 2 seasons were spent at JUCO.
But Newton only had 1 year as a pro and hes doing fine.
Its a risk/reward thing if we draft him.
CBF
There's a BIG difference between collegiate DBs and professional DBs. Can he get off the line of scrimmage? Can he separate from NFL DBs? I would take Deandre Hopkins over Patterson. Neither at #8.

Appreciate the insight...it will be interesting to see what goes down for sure. My expectation is that SF will be a mover for sure.
Sorry Bill, I can't agree here.
If the focus is on selling tickets, they could've been much more successful by making a big FA splash or trading up to the #1 pick.
Also, if you think Nassib is going to sell tickets for this club, I believe you're mistaken.
I was a Glennon guy at first, but the more I watch of him, the more I worry about the apparent fact that he can't make a 10-yard throw consistently. He has a huge arm and a great deep ball, but his accuracy on short and intermediate throws is really alarming. I really don't see him going in the top 45 picks...I have a hunch he'll end up in either Chicago or Houston as a 2nd round pick, where he can sit behind an established starter for a year and get coached up.
Just my opinion though...
Bandit, what are you watching that shows him making inaccurate short/intermediate throws? He was making a lot of his throws off of his back foot because of the pass rush. Kolb was brought here not only to try and win now, but to be a bridge for whatever QB the Bills draft. If you could post a link to where he made these throws it would be great. I'd implore you to watch the comeback games against Maryland and North Carolina on YouTube.

I, for one, believe this is a perfect year to trade down (Wanted: Trade Partner). I'm thinking St. Louis, Minnesota (2 1st rounders each) or San Fran (too many picks to know what to do with). That being said, I have no problem selecting BPA at a position of need, in the 20's or @ 31.
My thoughts, however naive or unprofessional they may be...
KOLB IS NOT THE ANSWER, we all know that. If we don't take Barkley/Smith in the 1st, we won't have a shot at them with the teams that select b4 us in the 2nd. Jax, Oak, NYJ, Philly could all be players for a QB in the first 2 rounds. I, for one, am a fan of these two and I wouldn't want any other QB accept Jones in the 5th or 6th (if we're desperate).
I am very confused as to why Patterson is getting so much more love than his more productive, equally talented and athletic, taller, just as fast teammate Justin Hunter. Fine with me if he slips out of the "top 3-5" WR's.
This post could go on forever, so I'll just sum up with a mock (no Idea if I overvalued the trade back with SF, but both 2nd's and 1 of their 3rds seems fair to me):
Rd 1, pick 31 (San Fran) - Matt Barkley, QB, USC
Rd 2, pick 34 (San Fran) - Justin Hunter, WR, Tenn
Rd 2, pick 41 - Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
Rd 2, pick 61 (San Fran) - Vance McDonald, TE, Rice
Rd 3, pick 71 - Brian Schwenke, C, Cal
Rd 3, pick 74 (San Fran) - Brandon Williams, DT/NT, Mizzu Southern
Rd 4, pick 105 - Tyrann Mathieu, CB, *LSU
Rd 5, pick 143 - Sanders Commings, CB/S, GA
Rd 6, pick 177 - Dustin Hopkins, K, Fl St
Armchair, if this trade down scenario were to occur I'd be so stoked. I love your draft with the exception of QB. Matt Barkley is Ryan Fitzpatrick with better accuracy. The problem is he won't have the arm strength to drive the ball in the Buffalo winds at the Ralph. His shoulder injury should worry people too. Can it be a reoccurring problem? May want to pass on McDonald in the second and snatch another young receiver in DeAndre Hopkins. Grab Escobar with pick 74. Love the Schwenke decision, center will be an area of concern. Mike Glennon will be the QB to take at 31. He's probably the most NFL ready prospect in the draft next to Barkley. Was coached by Tom O'Brien who helped get Matty " Ice" and Russell Wilson acclimated to the NFL game.

After reading the Kiper Mock Thread it got me thinking about a draft that people would hate. I am not talking about something ridiculous like a punter in the 1st round but guys that just do not make sense (kind of like Whitner when Ngata was on the board). I guess that I will take a shot:
1st - Jonathan Cooper
2nd - John Jenkins
3rd - Mike Glennon
I hate the idea of a guard in the top 10, I think that DT is not a need at all (especially with Branch signing) and I just do not like Glennon as a prospect. I like his arm but not much else appeals to me. I would hate the above draft.
I only went 3 rounds because I think that it is really difficult to hate a 6th round pick before they play a game. You can always use 20/20 hindsight on mid-late round picks but at the time you are filling holes.
yours???
If we can get Glennon in the 3rd round, that will be the biggest coup of the draft. Glennon will be a "franchise" QB in the NFL. My dream mock draft would be:
1) Lane Johnson-OT
2) Mike Glennon-QB
3) Quinton Patton/DaRick Rogers/Robert Woods-WR
4) Gavin Escobar-TE
5) AJ Klein/Chase Thomas- LB
6) Alec Lemon-WR
I would want to surround my QBs with as much talent as possible to help him succeed. Our defense, as bad as it was last year, played well enough for us to win games.

Brad Wing Punter from LSU (jk)
LMAO

Airs at 9pm tonight. One of my favorite Bills player of all-time. Doesn't get much mention as one of the greatest LBs in NFL history. Is he HOF bound?
-
I still think they are over researching these guys to see which one(s) could be had in the 2nd that could be franchise QB's
My money is on Mike Glennon. Why is he the only one with a two day visit?
-
Because the Mel Kiper's, Todd McShay's and the other "football experts" say he can't play QB in the NFL.
-
A tall guy who struggles with accuracy & gets sacked a lot? Where have I heard that before in Buffalo (pat, pat, pat, sack)?
He struggles more with dropped passes than accuracy and he got sacked a lot because of his porous line! Watch the videos and stop believing everything you read! Christopher Columbus discovered America, right?
-
In Buffalo for pre draft visit! To quote other posters on this site "Get er done Buddy"!

I agree with the above poster in regards to Tavon Austin. IMO, he's a pretty safe draft pick and might be the type of offensive player Nix would consider at #8. I've heard a lot of GM's talk about taking a guy high, who is electric with the football and can score TD's every time they touch the football, and that's exactly what Tavon Austin is (similar to CJ Spiller). Tavon also happens to play a position that the Bills are sorely in need of. While he might not be the big bodied outside receiver the Bills really want, Austin would take our offense to another level, and would make any QB's job a lot easier. Tavon had a great year and has had a great offseason, and I think he's the best skill position player in this draft. #8 wouldn't be a reach for him at all, IMO.
For the record I have DeAndre Hopkins as my top rated WR tied with Tavon Austin for that spot. Would love either of these guys in a Bills uni.
+1 for Deandre Hopkins. Justin Hunter would be fine also. Move Stevie to slot with Graham and Hopkins/Hunter on the outside.

Rd 1 - OL
Rd 2 - QB
Rd 3 - LB
Your in the ballpark Papazoid. Everyone fails to remember that Marrone was a former offensive line coach and that's why I think he'll go:
OL
QB
WR
Marrone will get his future QB some weapons!
-
I thought they might try to play coy with Nassib.
Not that it would have fooled anyone.
It is interesting that the report implies that the Bills will not be working out Tyler Wilson, Matt Scott, Mike Glennon, and Zach Dysert.
Playing coy with Glennon!
-
Arizona is just waiting for Carson Palmer to fall in their lap!
-
Rd 1 LB Alec Ogletree Geo. 6-3 243 Buddy gets his pick,I can live with it.
Rd 2 WR Robert Woods Great hands and route runner 6-1 201
Rd 3 QBs Either Mike Glennon N.C.St. 6-7 225 or Tyler Bray 6-6 232 Tenn.
Both have cannon arms and need a little more coaching.
Don't think Glennon will last til 3rd round, I hope so. Think they'll go offensive line 1rd especially with Kolb at QB. Will want to protect him and Glennon who they will take with 2nd rd pick.
-
+1 for Kolb signing.
Bills workout Tennessee prospects, no Patterson

Or maybe Arizona. Check out their depth chart at receiver. After Fitzgerald and Floyd they have no one. Bruce Arians love to throw the long ball maybe Patterson is their guy.
