#34fan Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 If not Minter then another top LB prospect. we can get a QB in the 2nd round. We can, but it BETTER be EJ manuel. -If not, what's the point? If Tom Brady is the benchmark of our division, why not find the kid that measures up in terms of upside, and ability. EJ demonstrated his readiness for big games, and high expectations. He didn't shy away from the pressure, or wilt under the hot lights. Overall, this QB class is lame. However, I recognize the one's with the most upside. Put EJ Manuel at the top of that list.
Just in Atlanta Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 My money is on Mike Glennon. Why is he the only one with a two day visit? Either they're taking an extra look at him or he's the only guy in the United States who LOVES Buffalo hotels.

thebandit27 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Tennessee WR Justin Hunter visiting the Bills: @justinhunter_11 On to buffalo I like Hunter quite a bit...he'll be there when they pick at 41, but most likely not in round 3; not sure how they go about getting him AND a QB--assuming they don't take one in round 1.
Tommy Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) According to this Buffalo News article below, on Saturday the Bills hosted FOUR Tennessee players, namely QB Tyler Bray, WR Justin Hunter, WR Zach Rogers, and TE Michael Rivera. Is anyone else as surprised as I am that Cordarrelle Patterson wasn't one of them? Especially considering that they brought in two other Tennessee WRs for a visit....wow. What do you guys take from this? http://www.buffalone...ills-drive-1003 CORRECTION: The Buffalo News article must be mistaken. Looks like the Bills went to Tenneesee (which makes a lot more sense since you only get 30 in-house visits). http://www.wgr550.com/pages/15979862.php?contentType=4&contentId=12752344 Edited April 8, 2013 by Tommy

Tommy Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Could be wrong, but I thought the Bills traveled to UT to work these guys out vs. Them visiting OBD. Yeah, I think you're right. WGR 550 has an article saying the Bills went to Tennessee, but I saw the Buffalo News article first which said those players came to One Bills Drive. Sorry for the confusion, but going to Tennessee makes a lot more sense.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 8, 2013 Author Posted April 8, 2013 Barkley tweets that he'll be visiting the Bills: @MattBarkley Heading off to Cleveland and Buffalo this morning for team visits
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 I also read something this morning that maybe someone can corroborate which is that a team cannot physically workout a prospect unless they travel to work out that player. Put differently, if a player makes an official visit to the team's facility, the team cannot physically workout the player. This would partly explain Chris Brown's clumsy report that Mike Glennon visited the Bills but that they did not work him out.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Ugh. Hate that we are spending so much time with Tyler Bray...methinks the Bills might do some reaching in the 2nd round.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Ugh. Hate that we are spending so much time with Tyler Bray...methinks the Bills might do some reaching in the 2nd round. I also hope they haven't given him a 2nd round grade. I'd be much better with Bray if they took him later. He can wing the rock though.
