frogger Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Listed by many as a guard, he has the size/athletic abilities of mike Williams, now before anyone says we don't want that, Williams wasn't terrible, he was just not worthy of a 4th overall pick. Cannon was a LT at TCU. He can be the starting RT in buffalo. He would be a great pick. Him, acho in the 4th and DJ Williams in the 5th, assuming stocker is gone...with rounds 1-3 done this would be a great draft. If cannon fails at RT, slide him down to RG.
peanuts Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 He is worth it. He can also recieve treatment for his Hodgkins Lymphoma @ Roswell. This is a project pick.. 6th rd would be worth it..I just wish him good health..
NoSaint Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 He will be a UDFA. There is a real chance he will never play again, and it's almost 100% certain he won't even take a practice rep until next year. I wish him well but it seems it may be hard to take him this year.
frogger Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 I will admit, I did not see that story prior to making this post, I was just going on what I remembered about him. Anyway, I hope he makes a comeback and it would be even better in a Buffalo uniform.

WIlliams was definitely worthy of the fourth overall pick when he was drafted. He just didn't play worth a damn. But coming out he was a good pick. Who knew?
ndirish1978 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Bill Belichick has the luxury of being able to pick players who don't have to contribute to his team this year. We don't. So he gets Mallett and Canon and ensures his team is good in the future. What good is the future to us if we can't post a winning season today?
Kelly the Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 This was a really good choice for the Patriots, I hate to say. They can afford to take a flyer on a guy like this. I would have liked the Bills to pull the trigger in the 5th.
OCinBuffalo Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) This was a really good choice for the Patriots, I hate to say. They can afford to take a flyer on a guy like this. I would have liked the Bills to pull the trigger in the 5th. Just so you realize, you are inviting another Sunday night Bills vs Pats game, that turns into a Pats/Cannon love fest. However, I doubt the "# of times we can say Bruschi in one game" record will ever be broken. Edit: Oh, and I almost forgot: 10-1 this ends up on another sappy Bryant Gumble HBO special. Hell, Gumble will have him on every season. Might even get Oprah involved. Edited April 30, 2011 by OCinBuffalo
