lol.  Wasn’t he like a 4th alternate or something, anyway?

True lol but he was still a heck of a lot closer to the worst guard in the league than the best 😂

Hopefully this also means a little more commitment to the run game with Cook and Harris

Gonna have to give me some time on this one.

 

As someone who spent the last 2 months banging the board for the Bills to draft IOL, Torrence was my least favorite prospect. Would rather have snagged Tippman or Schmitz.

 

Torrence reminds me too much of Cody Ford.

 

I hope he does well. I appreciate the pick at OL. But I'll have to come around on this one in time.

 

They weren't options. Both had already been drafted.

I'm not.

And listed at 348 for Florida. Meh I hope I'm wrong but stand by my thoughts.

It is almost copy and paste with these 2 prospects other than Ford didn’t have any to play inside, felt more comfortable at OT. Torrence is a natural mauling RG.

Why do you say that? Footwork? I noticed that was a negative of Torrence’s, that he sometimes puts his toes out too far

I understand that. I was hoping we could jump the Giants for JMS. I'm not saying Beane screwed up. I'm merely talking about player preference.

At least interior where he can be more of a phone booth guy.

 

I bet Josh will sneak to his side more often 

Yeah not like anyone uses pulling guards anymore.

Thank you.  I don't see the comparison at all.

They’re similar prospects but doesn’t mean anything.

That mirror looks a little crooked by the way.

Not even funny. The vanity was a high end type, marble of course but the mirrors which went with it were cheap so they were a B word to mount. I measured and laser leveled a *****ton. I still have some drywall repair because it was a PITA

Wasn’t Ford supposedly athletic? This guy is supposed to be an immovable object but isn’t considered athletic at all. He should be great in pass protection at least.

The comparison would be athletic profiles. That’s where it ends. Torrence a natural RG.

Honestly with the top OT and C prospects gone. How can you not like the pick? Giving Josh a weapon and protection

The fact that Torrence had zero penalties last year suggests a substantially higher football IQ than Ford.

He was already short on draft capital due to the trade up for Kincaid. A trade up in the 2nd was not likely, IMO. Torrence is a big body inside which they were lacking.
