Lombardi says bills had the best draft

Watch the video here

Nice to see the team getting kudos after a job well done.

And it would have been easy for Lombardi to say a major market team like Dallas or Philly and appease those large fan bases, so nice to see the bills getting the limelight.

Bills did well filling needs.

Remember Nix saying last week that they needed OT's, CB's & LB's the most.

They got 2 of each.

Might be your firewall. It just worked fine for me.

Worked fine for me as well. Closed the gap on the Pats* love that. Thinks Bradham & Carder will start next year. It looks like the Bills got 3 to 5 starters in this draft for next year-my thought.

Ever since Modrak and Jauron left the Bills have had good drafts.

Re: Lombardi says bills had the best draft

Yeah its good to hear the name Buffalo but these guys are just talking heads who have to have something to say.

The fact he says Cordy Glenn moves inside makes me suspect everything else he says. Does he know how much the Bills NEED OT? This guy is an OT, Nix said so himself. If the Bills drafted an interior lineman that early in the draft it would knock down the grade I would give them.

I wish it was August already. I cant wait to see all of these new players in action.

Re: Lombardi says bills had the best draft

Another knowledgeable football mind saying Glenn will be moved inside. Does that scares anyone else?? I mean right now he would be abused by speed rushers in the NFL, what are we going to do next season for LT??

[CleveSteve]

Re: Lombardi says bills had the best draft

No way. Cordy Glenn was one of the most athletic linemen at the Combine. He's got 36" arms, not that that matters a whole lot. People just project him to OG because he's such a tub of lard, but he's agile and quick as well. He's an OT. He might be a RT, but he's an OT.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about where Glenn is going to play. The Bills drafted him with intentions of him playing LT. Look at that transcript from Buddy Nix

On if they chose the best players available with the selection of Glenn today:
BN: Yes, I mean he certainly tempted us, but again, we’ve been trying to get a guy that we thought was good enough to be a starting left tackle in this league, and we thought Cordy Glenn was that guy from the start. We wanted to fix that if we could and we’ve always said that.
On if Glenn is a guard:
BN: No he’s not a guard. He started 50 games, the last 16 was left tackle. We put it out there, we tried to spread the rumor that he was a guard and hope somebody wouldn’t take him.
On if they were surprised Glenn was still there:
BN: Shocked that he was there. I guess that’s about as well as we can say. He was certainly on the list.

On what makes Glenn a left tackle:
BN: You know the guy has good feet for a guy his size. He’s got good feet. He’s got so much length though, his arms are almost 36”, 35 7/8” or something, I mean huge wingspan. You’ve got a long way to run around him. He’s got some work to do as far as, he gets top-heavy a little bit, but the guy got better and better from the first two games of the year, he just kept getting better all the way through the year. Then the Senior Bowl really capped it off for us, they played him everywhere down there. I guess that’s the only place people saw him at guard because he hadn’t played there since 2010. He was able to hold his own against the best in the Senior Bowl at left tackle convinced us.
