Opinion: Cody Ford is a mauling blocker who can complete Buffalo Bills offensive line

When the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft finished, a few prospects made the short-list of “first round talents” who dropped to day two. The Buffalo Bills seized an opportunity to guarantee they could have one, offering a late fifth round pick to move up two spots and draft Oklahoma guard/tackle Cody Ford.

At 6’4” 329 pounds, Ford is a grizzly bear who reminds me a lot of two players - former Bills left tackle Cordy Glenn, and Raiders guard Gabe Jackson. He has immense “paw power”, seizing defenders and throwing them around the field.
