1) Nix pretty much laid it out there that Hairston is likely penciled in as our starter. I don't get the feel that we will take a tackle at 10. I also didn't get a great feel that we like Reiff on the left. Nor were we real high on Glenn at OT. I did get a sense we like Martin but not as much as I would have thought.
2) Interesting comments on Floyd. Real low key. Whaleys smirk was interesting. I think we have a real shot to take him.
3) At 10 Nix wants a difference maker, play maker, impact guy... Now we can read into that any way we like and I'm sure a few will argue OT fits that. But if the grades are the same, I think a CB or WR or even LB would be the pick of a OT... Especially considering how he argued that the offense is setup such that we run so many empty sets and if the rush 6, Fitz better expect to get hit in the mouth. My point is that again I don't think the Bills feel upgarding the LT would do as much for our results as upgrading WR, CB or even LB would.
4) Very significant comments on CB. Interesting that he said guys in those positions... seemed to imply S is an area were thinking... not only CB. But then he was pretty clear that Florence being older, McKelvin being an impending FA, and McGee's injuries make our need at CB significant. Nix then added that we could always use a shut down guy. And then even talked to how important top notch depth is. I think the chances of a CB at 10 are very significant and may be the highest in likelihood.
All of this is just my take of course.
But here's my take away top 5 from most likely to least likely for the Bills at 10:
1) Dre Kirkpatrick
2) Michael Floyd
3) Luke Kuechly
4) Johnathan Martin
5) Cordy Glenn
