In case we haven't said it before, we loved the Buffalo Bills' draft. They didn't spend future picks trading up for Matt Kalil. They found a wildly talented potential starter at left tackle in Cordy Glenn in the second round, and they took the best player on the board at No. 10 in cornerback Stephon Gilmore.


"We would like to be able to match up against those two guys," Bills general manager Buddy Nix said of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. "Even though you're not as big as they are these guys with speed and they're big enough that they can't knock them around and push them away from them. It's a lot harder for them against these bigger corners. Yes, we think (Gilmore) can do that."

I am guessing that is another reason they drafted Brooks.

We drafted everybody to cover the TE's. Even Cordy Glenn.

He certainly could deliver a good chuck in the 5 yard zone.
