Source/Rumor : Nix loves McCoy.
No, not Gerald McCoy, although I can guarantee our new GM would be doing backflips if he could grab the University of Oklahoma DT.
I have a source pretty close to the Buffalo Bills who told me that Nix is "in love" with former Texas quarterback, Colt McCoy.
This makes no sense to me personally, because I would think we'd want a bigger, stronger QB to combat the Buffalo weather.
McCoy however may be the best fit for Gailey's system. McCoy is athletic, and can make plays with his feet. McCoy is also the kind of QB who can get the ball to his wide receivers in space and let them make the plays.
The same source told me that there are two left tackles that Nix wants to take in the first round. Okung and Bulaga. After those two prospects, Nix feels that there is a slight drop off.
You may be asking where this leaves Williams. I asked the same thing.
My source told me that Nix sees Williams as a borderline top 10-15 pick, but believes Bulaga or Okung could come in from day one and start.
This is another thing I, personally don't agree with. I don't like Trent Williams and think he has the wrong attitude. Even still, I think he is going to be a good player (unless he changes his attitude once the checks start rolling in). I also believe there are reports that we like Williams.
Disclaimer though: I don't know how much stock I'd put into any of this. Everything said before the draft, especially this close to the big show, could just be GM talk. I have no idea where the Bills are going in the draft. With Dick Jauron, I knew what was going down. But we have shown interest in, and brought in so many prospects that I literally wouldn't be surprised with any pick we make.
So this could be all wrong. Maybe Nix HATES McCoy, and maybe he thinks Williams is the best player in the draft.
Either way, I thought I would pass this on. Btw, this is the same source who gave me the inside scoop on the Drayton Florence signing a year ago.
