17 OL drafted from last year listed with positive comments and not one mention of the 3 OL we drafted last year...

It isn't just about drafting OL. It is about drafting the right OL and early.

That article would have been a lot more enjoyable to read if the author bothered to note where in the draft those guys were taken. As to your point, agree 100%. How far down would that list have to extend to include our 2nd rounder?

Well, our 7th rnd OT pick, Seantrel Henderson should have been at the top of any list.

Only if you are a Buffalo homer.

League wide Henderson meant nothing.

Who in that article meant anything league wide?

Henderson played as well as anyone on that list & at RT, a harder position than the Guards or Centers on that list to fill.

Henderson was atrocious at RT, so a lot of rookie RT played like **** if he was as good as they were.

Sentreal Henderson started every game as a rookie and held up pretty well.

Anyone who sees it differently is being stupid. A 7th round starter is pretty damn impressive.

If you want to ***** than talk about the guy we took first for the oline.

Really? What does "early" have to do with it?

Not sure how Henderson doesn't make the list, he was far from the best OT but he played as well as, if not better than, James and Robinson who were 1st Round picks.

Just goes to show you how awful Kouandjio, Richardson and Henderson are. Some great picks by Whaley right there.

Henderson played very for well having two coaches counter acting each others coaching. Anyone that says that Henderson didn't play well is full of ****.

If this were true & Henderson was atrocious even the Idiot Marrone would have benched him.

The fact is Henderson played damn well for a rookie.

Yup, anyone saying otherwise is either a homer or doesn't know much about football.

It is not like the Bills had anyone else to put at right tackle!

For a rookie, particularly a seventh round pick, he exceeded expectations but he was still well below average as a starting right tackle. This season will be a good test to see if he establishes himself as a long-term starter or if he fails to build on the experience gained as a rookie.

The Bills had other people they could have put at RT.

Just NOBODY as GOOD as Henderson.

But if Henderson were really atrocious, there were other tackles on the team to replace him with.

Who? The other options were either worse or equally terrible (Kounandijo or Pears)

You can't recognize the talent difference between a 1st or 2nd round fat guy and a 5th, 6th or 7th round fat guy?

You are in good company since the Bills can't either.

That is the point.

Kouandijo & Pears would have been atrocious.

Henderson was NOT atrocious. He was average at worst.

He played better than MANY vet tackles as a Rookie.

Anyone calling Henderson's play last year atrocious is an IDIOT that knows nothing about the NFL.

And I would be willing to bet anyone that Handerson will be a starter this year.
