Bucky Brooks says there is a top 10 LT in the draft

Bucky Brooks over at NFL.COM has put up on their front page his 2011 list of the top 25 prospects in the upcoming draft. Now, I personally have never admired Bucky Brooks' NFL analysis as top notch but that is just my opinion and considering he is a top NFL.COM writer I think its noteworthy that Nate Solder is listed as the no.8 prospect in the country. I'm curious if anyone agrees with him and if he really is so highly regarded at LT is it possible the Bills consider him either at 3 or by trade down?

I don’t think Solder, Miller and Clayborn are top-10 in terms of talent. And I don’t think there are better players, in terms of talent, that Green and Peterson, IMHO.
This should be one of those lists that hype and the “someone told me” is more important than talent and how guy looks in game.

Bucky Brooks is a Joke.

This is the same guy who in his early drafts last year was saying we should take Bruce Campbell, and in his later ones Clausen.

If there is a draft prognasticator’s voice you should ignore as a Bill’s fan, it is Bucky Brooks.

If the Bills trade down to the mid first round, then maybe, but not at #3

Mayock, who I respect much more than Brooks, said that this group of OTs may prove to be a good one in the long run. There just isn’t that top 10 finished product like we have seen the past few years. The run on the top OTs is likely to start mid to late first round. I think we need to target a starting RT with LT potential like Camiri if we trade down or he falls to use in the second rond…..or more likely Barksdale in the second round if we stand pat.

For my own personal sanity, I am officially banning myself from reading/saying anything about Cam Newton.... starting the day after the Bowl game until the start of the combine.

Solder has the quick feet to play LT, but at this point he lacks both strength and technique. He’s a real question mark in terms of whether he could ever be a top-notch LT and therefore he is far too big a risk to take in the Top Ten or even in the front half of the first round. He is also someone who lacks the size and power to be a first-rate RT, so in my view he makes far less sense for the Bills than someone who could be plugged in immediately at RT and then shifted to LT later if that proved necessary.
