Something noteworthy from a semi-inside conversation..

[patmoran2006]

I had my usual periodical conversation with my inside source this morning (half sarcasm- don't get stupid). Most of it was the potically correct answer garbage you come to expect from a media-P.R. saavy person (We really liked Edwards and was shocked to see him there; We had Posluszny graded in the top 17 of the draft, etc) blahblahblah.

However, one thing did intrigue me as I had no clue about this.

But apparently the Bills are very VERY high on John Wendling; but as a potential cornerback, not necessarily a safety. The name Jason Seehorn was mentioned as a good comparison. And don't be shocked to see him back up both the safety and corner positions as a rookie (nickel back) and possibly be a starting corner by 2008.

Dont know why, but I found that interesting.

Glad to hear Wendling has that kind of potential, but Jason Seahorn sucked.

He would be the biggest corner in the league, wouldnt he?

Seahorn had a few excellent years at CB.

Re: Something noteworthy from a semi-inside conversation..

we need corners so if he can play CB I would feel a little better about things this season. but we'll see.

I know absolutely nothing about Wendling....

But if he turned out good.. that would back to back years with a good 6th round pick (Ellison)

Neg - The old man may struck gold this year in the later rounds. Wendling is definitely a solid prospect and is somewhat of a tweaker.

But look out for Schouman - Boise State players can ball and The Answer had a chance to scout this kid a few times in person. He will most certainly be an asset to this offense in one form or another.

I think they call them "tweeners" not "tweakers", The Answer.

The bottom line is this kid is versatile - could be a diamond in the rough or another toast mcgee.

The better option to me would be to swing Donte Whitner into the CB role and groom Wendling to take over the Strong Safety spot. IMO, Whitner is the type of athlete that could pull this off. There was a murmur of this possibility last year, and it has merit.

Most people have been very high on Wendling even pre-draft. And with a lack os S depth as well at CB it makes sense. There was also some talk of him playing weakside LB.

Re: Something noteworthy from a semi-inside conversation..

Hey we lack depth at WR, maybe Wendling can play that too!
