Buffalo Bills Pass on Terrelle Pryor, 6 Guys They Should Consider

With the most highly anticipated supplemental draft in years staring everyone in the face, the Raiders surprised no one in their willingness to draft Terrelle Pryor, a full round earlier than any other team in the league. They thereby ensured once again they will bring home the gold medal in the league-wide annual 4x100 relay, an event yet to be held in the history of the league—yet one that the Raiders would be a shoo-in to win.

They say speed kills in common talk, but common results have showed anything but a killer Raiders squad.

But enough about Pryor—perhaps any interest that the Bills had in him stemmed from their inability to effectively block in either the pass or the run game. The Bills have to make a move now; they have played with a short deck for too many years now.

In my experience playing, an offensive line's cohesion is one of the most important social developments on the team—rivaled only by the relationship between the quarterback and his go-to receiver and the kicker and the holder (seriously). The Bills offensive line has had enough time to "gel." Even despite the lockout, many of the players have been together for at least two years. It is time to add some new elements to this struggling line.

There are several options on the market and they all are worth at least a tire kick so to speak.

You will notice a common theme here, as the following six guys all play on the offensive line. In this list you will not find Bryant McKinnie, due to character concerns, and Leonard Davis, who will want too much money for Buffalo.

RT Jon Stinchcomb

Summary

Stinchcomb has played for the New Orleans Saints his entire career. In addition to this, he brings Super Bowl experience and was a Pro Bowl player in 2009. He was a second-round pick in 2003.

Positives

Seasoned and talented veteran with plenty of winning experiences to share with the young Bills offensive line.

Negatives

He is 31 years old and is coming off a season of declining play. Is this a sign of things to come?

Who He Would Battle/Replace

He would battle it out with Erik Pears, but despite that competition he would likely start at right tackle.

G/T Robert Brewster

Summary

Brewster has played for the Dallas Cowboys his entire career since being taken in the third round out of Ball State.

Positives

Brewster is about as raw as they come; he never could push his way onto the field in Dallas playing behind a somewhat talented group of starters. He does have the ability to swing to guard or tackle and has had enough league experience to challenge for a starting role.

Negatives

He has one game of experience total since being drafted in 2009.

Who He Would Battle/Replace

He would battle it out with Erik Pears, or Kraig Urbik. Being 6'4" and 325 would give the Bills a massive interior lineman to battle it out with Marcell Dareus.

RG Brian Waters

Summary

C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson would take this guy out to lunch at least once a week; that might be after he helped them both to 100 yard rushing games, like he did for Jamaal Charles, Thomas Jones, Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes before them. He is a five-time Pro Bowler.

Positives

Great run-blocking talent—one of the elite players at his position during his prime.

Negatives

He is 34 years old and though he is coming off a Pro Bowl year, he is nearing the end. He also might want too much money, or to play for a contender as he lacks a Super Bowl. Sadly, most contenders have their lines figured out to some extent and would be wary of adding a 34-year-old to their team.

Who He Would Battle/Replace

With all due respect to whoever is starting at right guard, this spot would be Waters. Chan Gailey already knows what to expect with Brian and I am surprised he hasn't organized at least an invitation yet, especially since the Bills were interested in trading for him two years ago and now can get him without losing a player.

LG Rich Seubert

Summary

Seubert has played for the New york Giants his entire career. In addition to this he brings Super Bowl experience. He went undrafted in 2001. 

Positives

Seasoned and talented veteran with plenty of winning experiences to share with the young Bills offensive line. Also like Waters, he went undrafted and would be able to show the underrated and tough-luck Bills what it takes to fight for everything in this league.

Negatives

He is 32 years old and is coming off a season of declining play. He is part of a youth exodus on the Giants offensive line.

Who He Would Battle/Replace

He would battle it out with Andy Levitre, who might be the Bills' best offensive lineman, perhaps he would win and show Andy a thing or two about how to play the game. Either way, it would add solid depth to the offensive line.

RT/LT Nick Kazcur

Summary

Nick Kaczur has protected the best in the business and did it with a division rival since 2005.

Positives

Talented and experienced starter. He maintains the versatility to swing out to left or right tackle.

Negatives

He is 32 years old and has battled through some serious injuries during his career. It's great to be tough, but it's tough to be great from the sidelines or at 70 percent while playing.

Who He Would Battle/Replace

Erik Pears has been the target of a lot of these replacement possibilities but Kaczur could give Bell a run for his money as the starting left tackle.

C/G Shaun O'Hara

Summary

Shaun O'Hara might be one of the best battlers left to be had out there on the market. Added a toughness and leadership to the Giants for over a decade. He is a professional.

Positives

Talented and experienced starter. He can play center or guard. Sound like anyone the Bills already have? He has been to the Pro Bowl the past three years. He would add a toughness and a level of leadership to the Bills' young line.

Negatives

He is 34 years old and simply does not have that much time or ability left. He also may want big money.

Who He Would Battle/Replace

He would be able to battle it out with Eric Wood for the starting center spot or fill in somewhere at guard for a season or two. He already has his ring so this might be a possibility for him if the money is right.
