Cordy Glenn 2012 NFL Draft scouting report - Mocking The Draft
"Cordy Glenn is best fit for guard in the NFL, unless he gets a tremendous amount of coaching early in his career. He lacks the technique and natural instincts to be effective in pass protection. Worth a pick late in the first round as a guard due to his raw physical tools." Ranks as their No. 4 offensive tackle.

Cordy Glenn 2012 NFL Draft Profile - YouTube
"SB Nation marches on with its player profile video series leading up to the 2012 NFL Draft. Cordy Glenn, a versatile OL who is tied for the most starts in UGA history, projects better at guard than at tackle. Who knows though, with a year in a conditioning program, Glenn could more than hold his own at RT. He may, however, be better suited at guard where his huge frame and surprisingly notable athleticism will be better utilized."

2012 NFL Draft: Five players to target in second round - NFL.com
"Cordy Glenn, OT/OG, Georgia: At 6-5, 345 pounds with 35 3/4-inch arms, this is a mass of man. With Glenn's versatility, I would start him at left tackle and see if he can handle the workload. If that doesn't work out, you can move him to right tackle with the idea he can also play guard. This guy could be a great value in Round 2, as a lot of teams had him slotted for the 15-32 range on Thursday night."

"• Bills keep Glenn close: Cordy Glenn might have issues with quickness at left tackle at the next level, but the ex-Georgia Bulldogs' footwork looked good enough at the Senior Bowl to earn a shot on the blind side for the Bills. The power he showed at guard in 2010 will certainly be utilized if his stay at tackle is short-lived. Either way, he fits a major need for Buffalo."

"I just want to play," Glenn said Wednesday following Senior Bowl practice. "I feel like I’m versatile. Everybody can see that I can play multiple positions and contribute in more than one way. I just want to play football, honestly."

Glenn was ranked No. 21 overall and No. 3 among offensive tackles with a first round grade by CBS Sports. "He has all the strength you would expect of a man his size and then some, but somehow manages good enough footwork to be efficient much of the time as a pass blocker and can get downfield to pick off second level defenders, much to the surprise of both to scouts and the overwhelmed defenders themselves."

"I can't say anything else bad about Cordy Glenn. He's never been in any trouble. He's been hailed by teammates as a quiet leader. Cordy Glenn is a solid pickup who could become a multiyear fixture on the offensive line. From my perspective, that's about all you can ask from an NFL offensive lineman. Consistency and continuity are the watch words for success up front in the league. Cordy Glenn is 1/5 of a solid NFL unit."

2012 NFL Draft: Cordy Glenn Compared To Marcus McNeill - Buffalo Rumblings
"Rotoworld.com's Evan Silva compares Cordy Glenn to Marcus McNeill in projecting Glenn to the Buffalo Bills in his latest mock draft. The players, however, have different pre-draft stories that don't make the comparison a slam dunk beyond pure athleticism."

Mock Draft 4.0: Floyd to Cincy - Rotoworld.com
"Glenn was one of the first players the Bills hosted for a pre-draft visit. While that isn't necessarily a surefire indication of interest, Glenn's game is eerily similar to former Buddy Nix pick Marcus McNeill's. Both are athletic, physically dominant 'waist benders' whose technique is criticized despite exceptional down-to-down play. Glenn would be an upgrade on Erik Pears at right tackle initially, and perhaps move to the left side if Chris Hairston doesn't markedly improve in camp. "

WGR 550 - HAMILTON: Glenn Wants To Be Here
At first Glenn liked his new lineman’s foot work, but there is one thing he’d like to see better, "I think he's got good feet. I don't know that he's got great feet but I think he's got good feet. You don't have to have great feet if you've got great length and great size. It's hard to get around big people. I think he's just a huge, athletic player. There are probably people that are bigger than he is and there are probably people that are more athletic than he is, but I think he gives you a good combination of size and athletic ability."

"T.J. Graham, WR (5-11 3/8, 185) — Had a 34-inch vertical and 9-foot-11-inch broad jump. Had a decent workout — nothing flashy."

T.J. Graham, North Carolina State, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com
Graham is rated No. 257 overall, No. 34 at receiver, and given a seventh-round to free agent grade by CBS Sports. "As an NFL Draft prospect, Graham is cut from the classic slot/PR mold. Likely too small framed for full time WR duty, Graham is quick and fast, and projects to get separation in the NFL against nickel corners. Despite his small size, Graham gives great effort as a blocker and team things like tackling the defender who just made the interception. Given his rather short football career to date, the fact that Graham's performance as a WR kept improving as time went forward gives reason for hope that there could be more upside."

"I'm very excited. It's something I worked for my whole life. I'm just going to enjoy the opportunity I have now with the Buffalo Bills. I spoke with some people and they suggested that this was the earliest I would go. You expect the worst in this situation, so getting the best that they told me is a pretty good thing. I am pretty excited about it. I had a couple of meetings with them and talked with them a couple of times. It was a destination that I saw myself going to. I am really going to enjoy it."
