    WTF does this team plan on doing at Guard?

    Seriously. I understand letting Levitre walk for the amount of money he got from TEN...IF WE USED THE MONEY ON IMPACT PLAYERS AT POSITIONS OF NEED. They let a reliable backup walk away too, leaving us with the often-injured Urbik and zero depth or starters for the left side. David Snow? Colin Brown? Sam Young? Good lord...

    I would be FINE with us taking a guard to plug in and start in round 2...but we have way to many holes...and should take a LB or WR there (Assuming we do not lose that pick trading up for a QB).

    Leave it to these buffoons to take one of the few "strengths" of the team...which was built "their way" and create a hole by making absolutely no effort to retain our own player(s).

    This team SUCKS.
    The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

    Prob a bunch of Undrafted free agents will be starting for us that no one wanted. This approach to the way they've done things in free agency is really bizarre based on Russ Brandon's no stone unturned speech. I definitely expected more.

        Makes all the sense in the World. Create a hole where none existed by letting Levitre walk, then WASTE the #8 pick in the draft to fill it.

        I was told that Levitre would be easy to replace by someone CHEAP. Well, the #8 pick is a heavy price to pay & down the road after the Rookie contract is finished, that #8 pick will be asking for more money than Levitre got.

          I'm looking forward to seeing what some of these young guys bring to the table, especially if we get Warmack. Don't discount another signing, like B.Moore, before FA is over.

            1) Start a rookie like Brian Winters
            2) Start Colin Brown
            3) Sign a Urbik/Pears like FA on the cheap

              So you are advocating WASTING the #8 pick on a GUARD? A position so easily filled by someone CHEAP?

              I think a much better use of that pick would be a position NOT so easily filled myself, like QUARTERBACK.

                  Totally agree. We have Mack Truck sized holes all over this team, including QB, WR and LB. Why would we waste an 8th overall pick on a position so unimportant that we let a starter and a reliable backup/sometimes starter walk? Let's use our high picks on positions of desperate need, and get a guard in free agency or with a low pick.
                  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?

                    Why? So we can then draft a new LT when we have one that we like already?

                    LT is much harder to fill than LG.

                    If were moving OT's to LG, let's try Hairston there. He's played LT before and has decent feet, maybe he can be a very good LG.

                      Draft Fisher/Joeckel/Johnson kick Glenn inside. Upgrade LT and LG in the long term and be done with it. Also get to have your pick of QB's in Round 2.

                        Probably the best solution, can also kick Glenn to RT if they find a capable G in the later rounds, Pears stinks.

                          Don't understand why everyone wants to move Glenn inside. He played quite well in his rookie season at left tackle, why would we move him? Pick up a serviceable guard and get a RT, Glenn is just fine over there.

                            Well according to Nix... We're all set at tackle.

                            So.. everyone's favorite offseason meme of "kicking Glenn into guard" may very well come to pass.

                            At this point it doesn't really matter now... does it?

                              It's constantly brought up (see the post below yours) and IMHO Glenn should just stay put.
