    This Cordy Glenn hype reminds me of...

    ...the hype for 2009's Andre Smith.

      That's your opinion - but what about the love for Glenn that's currently gushing here?

          Well, that's what I asked. Do you lack in the reading comprehension department?

            Reminds me of the Erik Flowers and Aaron Maybin drafts - guys who flew up the draft charts based on last minute hype or combine numbers, despite rather pedestrian or short college careers.
            Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

              Yeah so, it reminds you of the Andre Smith hype.

              Big deal.

              So I guess Glenn is going to follow A. Smith's career in the NFL then ?

                To be fair, Glenn is tied with a Georgia record for starts (50) and played in the ultra tough SEC at 2 positions and did well at one (Guard) and got better at the other (Left Tackle). So I don't think they're fair comparisons.

                  As mentioned Glenn has a full history of success at multiple positions on the OL.. and lots of starts... So the comparison really doesn't fit..

                  Still a reach at #10 since he is not as polished as one would want for a #10 pick.

                    And I remember last year when many armchair GMs said Cam Newton reminded them of Jamarcus Russell. People see what they want to see. If Cordy Glenn had attitude and weight problems then Andre Smith comparison would make more sense.

                      I hear you. I was just thinking of how Reiff, Martin and even Adams were being touted by many as the top guys behind Kalil, but all of a sudden the hype is growing to the point where a lot of people think Glenn is the second best LT prospect in the draft. Could be the other guys, for various reasons, have dropped off.

                        I agree on that Jan... Glenn's name rushed into the mix just in the last few weeks

                          Mike Williams
                          Anthony Davis
                          Andre Smith
                          Levi Brown

                          all these names pop in my head when I think of Cordy Glenn - The list above are guys who were pretty good in college and drafted much higher than they should have been.

                          Hope to god if we draft Glenn at 10 he can start on THE LEFT SIDE immediately...
                          The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

                            I just read 26 players are going to attend the NFL draft. All the players attending are expected to be drafted EARLY.

                            Cordy Glenn WILL be in attendance at the draft.

                            Riley Reiff WILL NOT be attending the draft.

                            Interesting to say the least.

                              Unfortunately, there is a lot of that in this years draft at 10. There are not a lot of stand outs, the ones that do will most likely be gone by the time the Bills go on the clock. No draft pick is made without some level of inherent risk. JMO
