Patrick DiMarco 22. Cordy Glenn, T, Bills 16. Charles Clay, TE, Bills 4. Marcell Dareus, DT, Bills Technically only 3 made top 26 but author felt the need to kick Bills when down. He also blamed Whiley on numbers but he was not involved in contracts. Need to read thru author's guidelines on how he picked. There's nothing unreasonable here. He didn't make the choices, he just set up a mathematical system to pick highly-valued guys, and the Bills popped up. And with three in the top 25, he's right, it's worthy of notice, leading the league by far. four in the top 29 even more so. Worth noting also that he doesn't say that valuing a guy highly is necessarily bad. Von Miller is in the top ten, for instance, but he's just worth it. Whereas Dareus and Charles Clay have definitely underperformed. I'd argue that Cordy Glenn has earned his money, though. Patrick DeMarco, it's too early to say. As for what he said about Whaley, "Doug Whaley wasn't a bad player evaluator at all, especially given the bevy of street free agents who came into their own in Buffalo. But he consistently failed to properly value players." Yup. Dead on. Reasonably kind, even.

JimKellyTryouts Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Cordy being on that list makes zero sense. We signed him long term at a good time because the tackle market inflated highly this offseason. Seriously, Matt Kalil and Mike Remmers made over ten million a year swapping from Minnesota to Carolina FFS! Edit - that was a gut reaction from me. I'm reading the article thoroughly now trying to understand all its metrics. Edited July 21, 2017 by JimKellyTryouts
