All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
What do you think about Riley Reiff? He's being considered a top 10 talent by many. His pre-draft worries remind me of Bryan Buluga(sp?) who is a very good OT. How would you compare the two coming out of college?
Bryan dropped towards the bottom of round1 to GB & has been one of the best OT of his class.

It's worth noting that Bulaga is Green Bay's RIGHT tackle. Kinda kills the point of the comparison.

We need to draft some one that can start right away at number 10 weather is on D or offense and a lot people say the same thing about him that he needs like a year or two before he can be on the left side. We need a impact player.

RR is also a right tackle. Some scouts have a hard time seeing pan out at LT b/c of his arm length. This is the reason that many see the Bills passing on him & drafting Martin instead.

I don't want either of them.

Aside from some mocks by people that do not evaluate talent that have him going to the Bills, tell me who thinks Reiff has the talent to be a top 10 pick. NOBODY I have read or heard.

what the OT comes down to is.. How do our scouts.FO feel about the 2nd tier players.
If they feel there is some good talent to be had later on then they'll pass on reaching for Martin or Reiff at #10. because martin and Reiff are both solid prospects but neither seem to scream can't miss.. and Reiff is more of a RT then a LT in the NFL
The closer we get to the draft the more I feel we will be looking at OT's later on...
I don't see anyone but Kalil being able to come in and start effectively at LT on day one. I think Martin could be an above average, dependable LT in the long run and wouldn't mind him about 10 picks back (cough... trade down). Reiff seems to be a RT, and potentially a good one. Not sure either are worth reaching for at #10. We need a LT though.
I wish there was one more player in this draft that would intrigue Minnesota, sliding Kalil to 4. I bet the Browns would once again be a willing trade down partner, already having Thomas at LT. I would gladly give up the #10 and next year's 1st (which should be a late round pick) plus a 3rd for Kalil.
Since none of that will happen, it'll be interesting to see what OBD's plan is to fill the LT spot, because I can't see anyone out there who is ready to start on day one, FA or draft.

Unless they can somehow get Kalil, I think Hairston is the starting LT next year even if the Bills trade down & draft Reiff or Martin.
