Matthew Fairburn praised Glenn’s physical tools, but mentioned that the 6’5, 348-pound prospect may be a much better fit for guard at the next level unless he clears up some technical issues
Strength: Cordy Glenn's strength is a big reason why he is considered a first round prospect. He is powerful at the point of attack and is especially strong in his lower body. He is a powerful blocker in tight areas.

In the first round, the Bills selected cornerback Stephon Gilmore
