section122 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Frankly, I think this is getting to warranting a mod giving a warning (or put him on ice for the weekend).... It's one thing to disagree with a pick but the posts are ridiculous and nonsensical I'm going to pile on... Please mods pretty please?

VanCity Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Very happy with Cyrus here. Whaley made a good play to add the fifth while still getting the player they wanted. The O is loading up. I'm hoping to see a LB and De still. I actually expect that one will be taken care of in the 3rd. Maybe Skov?
ExWNYer Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Dude. I can crush a 5.6 and bench more then 21 reps. Can I play OT? I've never seen you but my guess is no. BTW, Mayock said that his measurables don't look like anything special but he does everything great on tape. Basically, his numbers (like the ones you mentioned) leave a lot to be desired but he plays at a very high level. He's an enigma.
outsidethebox Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Love this pick, guy is a beast, until he leaves Buffalo and goes to another team than he's a bum. Good riddance. Just want to be the first in line to say how much he sucked before he leaves.

Chris Kelsay of the OL!!! #'s are #'s. The only thing lesser then #'s is the mirror.
Trader Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 This is a very good pick of a player who is an "un-reach" . Yes some medical question marks or else he would have gone in the first. I predict that the Bills will back up their bet on him. They have another draft choice and there is also a pretty good free agent tackle in Eric Winston still out there. Whaley did say he was being brought in to "compete". All draft picks no matter how highly rated are risks.
chris heff Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Recently, I have been called out on this board for knowing nothing about football. No problem . That said, As a life long Crimson Tide Fan, I have watched virtually every game the Kouandjio has ever played, so I offer a few thoughts. NOT gospel truths......THOUGHTS. 1)In 2012, he did play LT for the Tide on the best OL in the history of college football. I think that Coach Saban put him there because he knew that he would be losing Barrett Jones, Chance Warmack and DJ Fluker. He was their 4th best blocker at the time. Sorry, it's true. 2) He is agile. I don't care about his measurable skills. And he is strong. 3) The kid is very smart. And he is NOT a person who I expect to get in trouble. One never knows but I have heard him talk and he seems like a HUGE character guy. He was born in Africa and in interviews he expresses BIG TIME love for America. 4) I think that he is more suited for RT than LT in the NFL. But the really good news is that he is an experienced LT. He played LT at the very best college program in the country. If Glenn gets hurt, this kid offers us a chance to not fall apart. This is huge my friends. HUGE!!! 5) The bad news is he is rumored to have health issues but who knows? 6) In all, I love the fact that they took him AND got an extra pick in the process. Sorry folks, I didn't like the Watkins deal, but between the SJ trade and this selection, it is far less painful. 7) Lets make the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8) ROLL Tide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill there are people on this board that have uniformed opinions, you are not one of them. I disagree with you at times, like the Watkins deal, but you know football. I thnk your right about this kid.
Big Turk Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Fantastic pick...mauling run blocker with long arms only 3/8" shorter than Cordy Glenn's and good footwork from playing soccer growing up
ExWNYer Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Very happy with Cyrus here. Whaley made a good play to add the fifth while still getting the player they wanted. The O is loading up. I'm hoping to see a LB and De still. I actually expect that one will be taken care of in the 3rd. Maybe Skov? No to Skov. He projects as an ILB in a 3-4. OLB or DE are what they need, CB, as well.
QCity Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 @RapSheet #Bills select Alabama OL Cyrus Kouandjio, who fell due to medicals. Thought the #Redskins would take him, but he failed their physical Wait a minute, isn't James Andrews the Redskins team physician? So he sent a letter to all 32 teams clearing him to play, then flunked him on their own physical??

The Wiz Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Cyrus the virus!!! CBF Beat me to it. Told my boss at 2pm today if he was available then the bills would take him. Now he wants to know what I think about the 3rd round since I said we might move up for Watkins and would trade Stevie if we got him.
sodbuster Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Wait a minute, isn't James Andrews the Redskins team physician? So he sent a letter to all 32 teams clearing him to play, then flunked him on their own physical?? Yeah I thought the same thing. But he passed the Bills physical, so we'll see.
Billsguy Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Big bust potential too. That said I like the gamble. Alabama has had its share of busts in recent years. Hope this guy breaks that trend.

Andrew Son Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 @RapSheet #Bills select Alabama OL Cyrus Kouandjio, who fell due to medicals. Thought the #Redskins would take him, but he failed their physical Isn't Andrews on the skins staff? How could he fail their physical?
Doc Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Good pick. As Bill said, played LT in college, will play RT for the Bills, and can play LT as a backup.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Yeah I thought the same thing. But he passed the Bills physical, so we'll see. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/jason-la-canfora/24470778/dr-james-andrews-says-no-issues-with-cyrus-kouandjios-knee Andrews has been looking at Kujo for his entire Alabama career.
