Bills general manager Buddy Nix said earlier this month that the Bills needed offensive tackles. Friday, they added one. A big one.With the ninth pick in the second round of the 2012 draft (No. 41 overall), Buffalo selected Georgia tackle Cordy Glenn.
The 6-foot-5 (almost 6), 345-pound offensive lineman expected to be drafted sooner, but he says he's happy to be a Bill.
“One, I am happy I get to play left tackle, two Buffalo is one of my favorite teams,” Glenn (pictured) told reporters, according to BuffaloBills.com. “I am just happy that I get to play football and I know where I am playing it now. It is just a big relief.”
Glenn started his last 18 games at left tackle after playing guard early in his college career.
"You know, we saw him play guard prior to this year and then this year he played left tackle," Bills scout Darrell Moody said. "As you watched the season progress, he got better and better at left tackle.
"... You could see a tremendous amount of improvement every week. He’s got tremendous size. He’s got length and he’s got good foot quickness. If there’s one thing that he needs to improve on, he’ll get impatient at times and waist-bend, but he does not do that all the time. And we’re a firm believer that if he doesn’t do it all the time we can coach and we can get him out of that habit."
