Speaker 1: Uh uh.

12
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: Right off the top, our question is you know who's

00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: your guy? Who you're gonna pick?

Speaker 1: Call us and who are you gonna pick? And how

15
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: is that gonna happen?

16
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're gonna pick Marvin Harrison Junior, how

17
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: are we gonna do that? And and have both sides

18
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: of the trade. What do we gotta give up to

19
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: go up to number five to get or number four

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 3: to get Marvin Harrison Junior or whatever whoever your heart's

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: desire is, What are gonna have to give up to

22
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: get him?

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: M hm see, I see if you can do it?

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Who's your guy? If you stay if you stay.

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 3: Put, there's about I don't know, Brownie, five guys, six

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: guys that I could live with.

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Who's your number one person, Brian Thomas Jr.

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: If he's there, these be the best receiver that's got

29
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: a chance in making it that low. But I don't

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be there now that you know, you get.

31
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: This mon tre Frere.

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: A lot of people, but draft mocked him to the

33
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: last few days.

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: More and more of the mock drafts have him sliding

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: down the board. Maybe it's because of the shoulder injury.

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: He ain't gonna slide. I think he's.

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: Gonna be a little lower than people originally thought. I mean,

38
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 2: just a couple of weeks ago, people are like, he'll

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: be gone by thirteen, fourteen, fifteen's the floor, and now

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: we're seeing him go all the way to twenty eight

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: to Buffalo he and twenty a second. Here are the

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: things that I think are working in favor of him sliding.

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, convince me.

44
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: Number one is if quarterbacks go one through four, which

45
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: is a possibility. If Arizona moves out, that automatically delays

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: receivers coming off the board when anticipated, so it starts

47
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: the run later on the top three.

48
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: Right number two, So you're talking those top three, So

49
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: then if you go through number four, you got five

50
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: through twenty eight.

51
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: That's how many? Is that?

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: Twenty three picks where you've got to get all the

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: way down through and five of those have got to

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: be wide outs at the fifth one being twenty eight.

55
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: That could happen.

56
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: There is a good chance three edge rushers go before

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight. You are to your live map, Put four four,

58
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: Put five quarterbacks five qbs because we know five are

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: going to go before the Bills pick at twenty.

60
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Five quarterbacks, go ahead, keep going.

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: Three edge rushers, three edge okay, one defensive tackle one DT,

62
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: possibly two, but we'll say one for now. One And

63
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: then I think you're looking.

64
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: At how many offensive tackles? Seven? Seven? Yep, that's a

65
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: big number. And you're still shy though.

66
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: And then after that, after that, put in the three

67
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: top receivers three, give me the tight end, one tight end,

68
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: and give me three corners three.

69
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: All right, hold on, three corners. Now add that up.

70
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: Tell me what we've got. Twenty three twenty three. Brian

71
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: Thomas is now in striking distance, and I'm going to

72
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: tell you this right now. I think the Bills are

73
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: going to make a small move up. I think this

74
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: draft is going to play out a lot like the

75
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two draft did for the Bills, when everybody

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: under the sun knew Buffalo needed cornerback help and they

77
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: needed it early, the Bills jumped up. I want to

78
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: say two spots if I remember right to get Kyrie Elam.

79
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be in a similar situation

80
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: in terms of where they have to move on the

81
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: board to get the guy they want, not because receiver

82
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: talent's running out, but because they have a drop off.

83
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: It's my belief they have a drop off between Brian

84
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: Thomas and the next tier. That's my belief. I don't

85
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: know that. I don't have any inside information on that.

86
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: That's just what my gut is telling me. And so

87
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: I think as soon as Brian Thomas slides I thought

88
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: the two weeks ago and most of this week I

89
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: was saying, oh boy, as soon as Brian Thomas gets

90
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: past the Colts at fifteen, who I believe are going

91
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: to take a corner. Brandon Bean's on the phone, and

92
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: he's working the phone, so that doesn't mean he's gonna

93
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: trade up to sixteen, but he's going to start there

94
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: and work his way down and see what the cost

95
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: is and.

96
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's got to get that.

97
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: High based on a lot of this late I mean,

98
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah, Brian Thomas at twenty eight, at twenty eight,

99
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: and then you've got Pete Prisco CBS Sports, Brian Thomas

100
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: at twenty eight. They're not even moving okay. And there's

101
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: like two other mock drafts Brian Thomas at twenty eight.

102
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: And what is precipitating this mock you know, choice for

103
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: the Bills is the offensive tackle competition. They are going

104
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 2: to be out for blood to get past protectors because

105
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: the vast majority of this league doesn't have any good

106
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: ones all s those are in the fortunate position where

107
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: they don't have to address that.

108
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: One of the the unpredictable part about this particular draft

109
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: and the order and the teams that have multiple first

110
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: like Chicago, Minnesota.

111
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: The problem is this draft.

112
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: And I know it happens every draft, but this draft

113
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: in particular, there's a ton of expectation about trades up

114
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: in the top ten, in and out, up and down,

115
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: about teams.

116
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: Way ahead of Buffalo.

117
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: That to me, m the water for being able to

118
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: anticipate how this is gonna go once you get into

119
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: the twenties. Because Minnesota may not have either of their

120
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: first picks. They may take a guy. They may use

121
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: both those first round picks, the twelve and the twenty,

122
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: not the twelve, the eleven, and the twenty three, and

123
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: move way up like Buffalo did to get Josh, move

124
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: up to where like the Giants are. If the Giants

125
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: don't get a quarterback, or if their quarterbacks off the board,

126
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: the Giants may trade with Minnesota and let them go

127
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: up and get a guy they want.

128
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Whatever.

129
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of expectation that the teams at

130
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: the top of this draft, well outside the top three,

131
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: and even New England at three, have been rumored to say, listen,

132
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: we're open for business. We'll listen to what you have

133
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: to say. So to me, there's a ton of teams

134
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: that are saying, okay, what about it? To all those teams,

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: from New England to Cardinals, the Chargers, and the Giants,

136
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: those four from three through six have been rumored a lot.

137
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: Tennessee is a lot of people think they're not going anywhere.

138
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: They're staying right where they're at. Atlanta, same thing, but Chicago,

139
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: that pick might be up for grabs. You got four

140
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: teams between three and six, three, four, five and six

141
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: that may get a king's ransom for that draft spot,

142
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: and that's a lot of anticipation about that coming up

143
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: to this draft, So that throws a wrench into everything.

144
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know, and I don't think

145
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: they're going to trade in a top ten for a tackle.

146
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: You can trade back and get a good tackle in

147
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: this draft. There's a ton of them.

148
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: There is another development which I think has for all

149
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: intents and purposes, ruled out the possibility of the Bills

150
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: trading back going into the second round, and the reason

151
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: why is CBS Sports Jonathan Jones, who is their NFL insider,

152
00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: is reporting that a fast and furious run on receivers

153
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: will take place early in the second round where you

154
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: could see five to seven come off the board in

155
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: the first ten picks. And because teams on the back

156
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: end of that run since that they will be looking

157
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 2: to move into the bottom of round one. So if

158
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: the Bills at twenty eight don't like their receiver value,

159
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: too bad, because if you move back, you're not getting

160
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: the guy you want in the next tier, because the

161
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: run is going to start right behind you, and you

162
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: better be careful that somebody doesn't come from thirty three

163
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: like Carolina who has picked thirty three and thirty nine

164
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: and leapfrogs you at twenty seven or twenty six.

165
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, too, they buffalo the most you, and

166
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: I think I think they'll probably try and get Brian

167
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: Thomas Junior. They may be able to get up to

168
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: like what we said twenty three to do that. If

169
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: that's off the table, I'm still okay with ad Mitchell.

170
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: I'm still okay with even Lad McConkie or Xavierly. Get

171
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 3: those three guys. Give me any of them, and I'm

172
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: okay at twenty eight because they all got the traits,

173
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: they all have the production that I'm looking for. Certainly,

174
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: Laguet's got the traits without the production as much production.

175
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: But the other two guys, Brian Thomas Junior and McConkey,

176
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: they're plug and play to me, and even in this

177
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: lineup with Josh and the playoff team. So I'm okay,

178
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: And if they stay put, I'm fine with it. And

179
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: I think the biggest we've been saying, I've been saying

180
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: it for two weeks. The most I can expect I

181
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: expect is maybe to go up a couple of spots,

182
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: maybe to twenty three at the most, to get a guy.

183
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: That's that's my call.

184
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: Anther is with pick thirty three and thirty nine can

185
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: get as high as twenty five. There you go, that's

186
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: a problem, yes, and you need to watch out for that.

187
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: And there only they need competitive and they need Bryce

188
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: Young to work. They needed to work. He is the

189
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 2: first pick in the draft last year, you know, and

190
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: they've done some work to help him out and you know,

191
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: make NFL quarterbacking a little bit easier for him. They

192
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: acquired Deontay Johnson from the Pittsburgh Steelers, so he'll be,

193
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: you know, the possession receiver. But they need a stud

194
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: outside guy too. Now, maybe they think they're okay to

195
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: sit there at pick thirty three because they believe Xavier

196
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: Liguett will still be there and there's your big outside target.

197
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: Sure that's a possibility.

198
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: Rady Mitchell or any of these guys.

199
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: But if the run, you know, starts early, or they're

200
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: worried about getting leap frogged, that could precipitate. See you

201
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: think trades into the bottom of the first round. I'm

202
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: just gonna read what Jonathan Jones describes here. He says,

203
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: as Thursday's first round gets into the twenties, watch for

204
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: teams to potentially slide back or up into the round

205
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: to get a receiver. Forget the ability to have the

206
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: fifty year option on a first round pick. This is

207
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: more about making sure teams get their guy before a

208
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 2: run on receivers in the top of the second round. Carolina,

209
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: New England, Arizona, Washington, and the Chargers are currently at

210
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: the top of the second round. All five could take

211
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: a receiver, So if there's some late first round movement,

212
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: it's likely to be for a wide out. You gotta

213
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: watch your back if you're the Bills at twenty eight tonight,

214
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 2: right and think about this.

215
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 3: Detroit just paid their boy, a'mon Ross Saint Brown, and

216
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: he deserved it. The Ravens Obj's not there anymore. They

217
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna need some body San Francisco. You don't think

218
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: Xavier Legette looks exactly like Deebo Samuel to them and

219
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: the Chiefs.

220
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: What position you think the can't see Chiefs are gonna take.

221
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm hoping offensive tackle because they need one. No, their

222
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: left tackle is a free agent. He has not been resigned.

223
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: In their right tackle is might as well be a

224
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: bag full of leaves because he can't do it over there, and.

225
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: They won a super Bowl with them.

226
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: They're not doing anything except getting some help because Rashi

227
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,119
Speaker 3: Rice is gonna be playing.

228
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: For him, probably for four games.

229
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least, So they need some guy. They need

230
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: somebody to keep their fans from burning the stadium down.

231
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: They need to take a weapon for Pat Mahomes.

232
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's burning the stadium down for a

233
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: three time Super Bowl champion in the last five years.

234
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: I think they're okay, call me crazy, but I think

235
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: they'll be all right.

236
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chaffans. Though I grew up out there, man,

237
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: they don't have long memories. I'm telling you, the Chiefs

238
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: want a weapon for Pat Mahomes. They want a guy

239
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: like that.

240
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: It's conceivable. It's definitely in the realm of possibility.

241
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: I agree.

242
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 2: So I'm tackle or.

243
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: It could be. But that lets you know that.

244
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: So at the time up of the second round, yeah,

245
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: people are gonna be standing amount to watch out. People

246
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: are gonna be standing on the line.

247
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: One of those teams might get antsy and try to

248
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: come up into the bottom of the first and grab somebody.

249
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: So I think the Bills at twenty eight have to

250
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: watch their back as much as what's happening in front.

251
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: Of them so they don't get leap frugged.

252
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: And so that's why I am anticipating that Brandon Bean

253
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: takes at least a small move up the board, you know,

254
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: maybe as high as Philly at twenty two, although now

255
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: they're sucked that Philly wants to move up to get

256
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: a corner. They want to get one of the top

257
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: two corners. So I don't know what it is, but

258
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: I have a sense there's gonna be a lot of

259
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: movement right from the jump here in this draft tonight

260
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: too because of the quarterback demand, because of the offensive

261
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: tackle demand, and then later in the round, based on

262
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: what CBS Sports Jonathan Jones is reporting, based on the

263
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: receiver demand at the top of the second round, it's

264
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: likely that some teams are not gonna want to wait

265
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: until tomorrow.

266
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a lot of guys there. I mean,

267
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: this is a wide receiver heavy draft. And I'll say

268
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: this too not for nothing. We've seen how being a

269
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: high pick in the NFL Draft affects some players and

270
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: the expect because of the expectation, because of the immediate

271
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: opportunity that maybe they're not ready for or you know that,

272
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: it changes things, right, I mean, if you're a top

273
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: NFL draft pick, the perception of you is changed. You're

274
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: the one that's out in front of the fans the

275
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: next day. You're the one that's in town. You're the

276
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: one that gets the private jet. You're the one that

277
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: comes out. You're the one that training. You're the one

278
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: that's in front of the media. You're the one has

279
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: a press conference, You're the one that speaks. If you're

280
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: a fifth rounder, there's a lot of people won't even

281
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: recognize you. And when you get a wide receiver who's

282
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: going to be a skilled guy, it really works well

283
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: for them if they're not the face of that draft,

284
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: the way Dalton Kincaid was this last year for the Bills,

285
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: the way Sammy Watkins was for the Bills.

286
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: You can go down the list. We've all seen it.

287
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: The guys the next day, whoever the Bills drafted twenty eight,

288
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: if indeed they do, if they trade whoever that is,

289
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: we're going to see him the next day. He's going to

290
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: be in Buffalo. That's a lot of pressure for a

291
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: lot of guys, and some of them handled great. They

292
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 3: expect it, it's no big deal, and they you know,

293
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: they're well adjusted, no problem, it's just you know, part

294
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: of the deal.

295
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: Other guys.

296
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: Not so much, you know. So this run of receivers,

297
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: you get skilled guys. It's nice to have some guys

298
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: with some trades that don't have to have that pressure

299
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: on him as being a wide receiver with just a

300
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: you know, with a whatever situation they have at quarterback

301
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: or any of that stuff. So i'm i'm I like

302
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: the thought that they're in the second round there's going

303
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: to be run on receivers. It makes a lot of

304
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: sense psychologically for that position. You know, let the guy,

305
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: let the guy build up to that expectation rather than.

306
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: At the same time, I think it only accentuates the

307
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: fact that the Bills have to get a guy, and

308
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: they probably have to get him tonight because there are

309
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: some people and we were in this camp like, oh,

310
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 2: you know, if you don't get a guy in the

311
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: first round, you know, maybe it picked sixty, or maybe

312
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 2: if you make a small move up from sixty, you

313
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: can still get a quality player. Sounds like the pool

314
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: is going to be thinned rather quickly at the start

315
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: of Night two of the draft, at the top of

316
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: the second round, and what you thought might be there

317
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: at sixty might be a bare cupboard now. So I

318
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: think it is only intensified the need for the Bills

319
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: to get a bonafide receiver that can help them immediately

320
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: as soon as his feet hit the ground in Buffalo,

321
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: in between the lines on a practice fee.

322
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 3: You can bet this receiver. I think, well, we've said it.

323
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 3: I think he's going to have some traits. He's going

324
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: to be a big, strong.

325
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: Fat is Brandon Bean's history in round.

326
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: See, now there's you know, there's except even the guys

327
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: were talking about. The only one that probably wouldn't have

328
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 3: elite traits would be Mconkey. But he's six foot, runs

329
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: a four to four to one, catches everything really get

330
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 3: open guy, So he's probably got his high a floor.

331
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: Is anybody in this draft class so worthy?

332
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 1: Only elite trade as his speed?

333
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: Right, He's yeah, He's just an OK route runner, just

334
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: a no O K catcher. So I'm yeah, I think

335
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 3: this is a spot where you can bet whoever the

336
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: Bills pick is going to look the part.

337
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: Who do you have the Bills taking with their first

338
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: round pick in tonight's NFL draft, and how is it

339
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: going to happen? You let us know at eight h

340
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: three oh five point fifty one eighty eight five fifty two,

341
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: five point fifty the number to get on board, and

342
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: we lead off today with Tim down in North Carolina.

343
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: What do you got for is Tim?

344
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, appreciate you having me on draft. Finally here,

345
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 4: we finally made it. But uh no, I think the

346
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: Bills are going up for one of the top three

347
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: wide receivers. The reason that I think that is kind

348
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 4: of twofold, the first one being I really just don't

349
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 4: think that Brandon Bean makes a trade with stuff on

350
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 4: Diggs without having some type of plan. I think there

351
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 4: was at least a week or maybe two based on

352
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 4: this pres conference between when Steff kind of asked, I mean,

353
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 4: he didn't come right out and say the steph after

354
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 4: for a trade, but you know we kind of knew

355
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 4: that that was maybe the case, and then him also

356
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 4: executing the deal. So I really think that during that

357
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 4: two weeks one week to two week period he had

358
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: it all figured out. It does take two to tango,

359
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 4: but some milestones where we could watch six. If the

360
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 4: Giants don't aren't able to trade up for their guy

361
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 4: nine with the Bears, they need draft picks bad Denver's

362
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 4: a spot at twelve and then Seattle at sixteen before

363
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 4: the main jump that we think with like the Bengals

364
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So that's that's my number one

365
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 4: reason that I think that the Bills are going up

366
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: is because I don't think Bradaby makes that trade without

367
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: without a uh, without a backup plan there. And then

368
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: number two is it solidified it the other day with

369
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 4: that Brown extension with the Lions. I mean, if he's

370
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 4: out here getting thirty million a year, like, what is

371
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 4: that going to look like for you know, I don't know,

372
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: trade the picks go up, get your guy cost controlled

373
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 4: five year option, like control your own destiny, go bet

374
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 4: your guy.

375
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 5: Appreciate it, guys, Yeah, I would.

376
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 2: I would agree with your second tim Chiefly we were

377
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: talking about that on the show yesterday. As soon as

378
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: a monro Saint Brown got thirty million a year, I

379
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: think it severely dampened the trade market for Brandon Ayuk.

380
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying it's not gonna happen because there

381
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: might be some team out there desperate enough to add

382
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: him to their roster and pay him thirty million dollars

383
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: a year or something close to it. I know his

384
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: numbers didn't quite match those of Amanro Saint Brown, but

385
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: they weren't far off. So I think seeing that contract

386
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: and that money on average annual value is going to

387
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: give pause to some teams that are gonna say, well,

388
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: hold on a second, I'm gonna give up potentially a

389
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 2: first round draft choice and to acquire this receiver who's

390
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: a proven commodity in the NFL. But it's gonna also

391
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: cost me thirty million a year for the next four years.

392
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: I've got the best receiver class maybe ever, staring me

393
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: in the face with cost control labor for the next

394
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: four years if I take a first rounder, you know,

395
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: or five years if I take a first rounder, four

396
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: years if I take a second or a third rounder,

397
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: like if I don't think the projection is that far

398
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: off on one of these kids, I'm not gonna do

399
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: all that work to get Ayuk signed to a contract

400
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: extension that's gonna dramatically impact my salary cap. So I

401
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: think the trade market for Ayuk was hurt by that

402
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 2: contract yesterday.

403
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.

404
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 3: I agree that, right, It just well, it was it

405
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: was kind of hurt by the fact when when Tyreek

406
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 3: did his deal, you knew that was the bar and

407
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: that you can bet.

408
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was like the stratosphere contract. Right Now,

409
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: You've got other people making thirty million.

410
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: And that's the problem.

411
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: But that's why Saint Brown said that's the number. That's

412
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: the number, right, So if Ayuk comes out and he

413
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to even hit that, it doesn't matter

414
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: if it's thirty million, it could be twenty five. Oh

415
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: my gosh, that's still a huge contract. So he just

416
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: gets within shouting distance of that, and it's still a

417
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: chilling effect on the league.

418
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: Right.

419
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: But I just think that if Tyreek remained the only

420
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 2: thirty million dollar a year player as we go into

421
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: this draft weekend with nobody else signing and someone's interested

422
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: in Ayuk, I think there are some that believe, well,

423
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: maybe we can get Ayuk for twenty seven and a half,

424
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: you know, maybe twenty eight. And now with Saint Brown

425
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: now joining the thirty million dollar club, now you know

426
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 2: what Ayuk is going to be asking for, and it's

427
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: not going to be anything south of twenty eight and

428
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: a half and maybe you were saying, oh, man, I

429
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: thought we could have got Ayuk for maybe twenty six,

430
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: maybe twenty seven. Now we're gonna be close to thirty

431
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: and I don't know if we can swing that. I

432
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 2: don't know if it's worth it.

433
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: More importantly, that's right, that's right, Particularly when you're looking

434
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: at a draft class like this one.

435
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, just and then you know.

436
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: Trading up into the top ten for a Dunze. Look,

437
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: I think we'd all be super excited if it happened.

438
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: But man, is that gonna take a lot. It's gonna

439
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 2: take an awful lot to do it, and it's gonna

440
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: take two ones. And here's the thing that has me

441
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: feeling Brandon Bean is not pulling the trigger on a

442
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: deal of that magnitude. Since he got here, the philosophy

443
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: for him and Sean McDermott has been to be perennial contenders,

444
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 2: not to shoot your shot in one year and load

445
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: up for bear and try to win it all in

446
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: one year and then pay the piper the next year,

447
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: tear it down and start rebuilding again. He wants to

448
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: stay at that top tier competitive level year over year

449
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: over year over year, because if you keep getting swings

450
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: at it, eventually you'll get that super Bowl title. But

451
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: if you're up here one year putting all your eggs

452
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: in one basket, and then you're down again and you're

453
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: not gonna contend, and then you got to climb back

454
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: up again and do it this way, and then you

455
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: go forward to it. He would rather stay up here

456
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: in the upper tier of contender status. And sometimes you

457
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: can't shoot all your bullets out of your gun in

458
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: one off season. I think we all realize the gigantic

459
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: hole that's there. But I think with this class, there

460
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: are alternatives that are attractive enough to keep Brandon Bean

461
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: from mortgaging the future farm just to get a Donza.

462
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: I could be wrong. Maybe he says the hell with it,

463
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: let's swing big, and maybe he does, but based on

464
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: all of the things that he has said about their

465
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: philosophy as an organization, I just think it's too steep

466
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 2: a hill to climb.

467
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we've never seen him trade away a future one,

468
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 3: and that's what it would.

469
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: Take to get that done. Yeah, you'd have.

470
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: To trade this year's one, next year's one, and probably

471
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: a two next year one of the two's probably the

472
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 3: high one if you really wanted to do it fully,

473
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: and that Minnesota's two, which was is probably going to

474
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 3: be like a thirty thirty, a thirty four through thirty

475
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: eight pick. You know, next year, if I'm transposing how

476
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 3: what their expectations are with a rookie quarterback and a

477
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: down year anticipated for them, they'll be at the top

478
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: of the second round. That's the number two pick that

479
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: the Bills get, if you know so you're talking this

480
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: year's one at twenty eight, next year's one at whenever

481
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: it is, and next year's two from Minnesota, which is

482
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: a high two. To get roma Dunsa or get into

483
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: the neighborhood of one of those top three guys, you

484
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: may have your pick between neighbors and a Dunze if

485
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: you go to the right team, if it's if it's six,

486
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 3: if it's the Giants, and they'll do it for you,

487
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: which they're not gonna do.

488
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing I think what other I

489
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: think what people are forgetting is they're too focused on

490
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: where the Bills need to get and they're not thinking

491
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: about what that other team may or may not want

492
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: to do.

493
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: Now they go from nine to twenty eight is a

494
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: huge drop, and there is.

495
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: An enormous amount of talent that's gonna come off the board.

496
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: And knowing you were up there and now they're asking

497
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: you to go down there, I don't know that they're

498
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: gonna be many teams that can stomach that.

499
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: Particularly if two of the two of the three picture

500
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 3: given up are next year.

501
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: So people want capital this year.

502
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 3: They they want it this year because that there's no

503
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: guarantee though that GM will be there next year. But

504
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 3: now a team like Tennessee who's just switched over all

505
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 3: that stuff, Tennessee at seven, they may listen to you

506
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: because all right, we got it. We're gonna have a

507
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 3: little bit of a grace period this year, and it'd

508
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 3: be great to have this AMMO next year. The two picks,

509
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: we'll drop back and we'll take pick twenty eight. We're

510
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: gonna be able to get a really good offensive tackle

511
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: at twenty eight as well. Let's do it and get

512
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 3: three picks for this and get it A one next

513
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: year will have two ones and a two next year

514
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: will have two two's and two ones. Next year our

515
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 3: own and the Bills.

516
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

517
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: You know, we'll have a better we'll have a better

518
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: sense of where Will Levis is. So Tennessee might be

519
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: the spot to jump up to at seventy if you're

520
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 3: gonna do this for Ansom. But that's a lot of

521
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 3: draft capital, and you're you're gonna cripple yourself for this

522
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 3: draft and.

523
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: The next ye I don't think he wants to do it.

524
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: Eight O three oh five fifty one eight eight five

525
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty got open lines for you, So

526
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 2: chance for you to get on board. We go to

527
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 2: Thomas in Buffalo next. What's up Thomas?

528
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 6: So, guys, I'm feeling good. I'm good like y'all. I'm

529
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 6: excited about tonight too, and I hope we get the

530
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 6: receiver that we want. And thank you for making that

531
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 6: point earlier, because I had no idea that Saint Brown

532
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 6: got that contract that sent it, because that kind of

533
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 6: killed my point about trading for I now, because like

534
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 6: you said, because of that contract. But then I was

535
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 6: thinking what about t Higgins because I'm like, that's an

536
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 6: option too. But I'm hoping the one scenario plays out

537
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 6: as the one y'all talk talked about earlier that Brian

538
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 6: Thomas does followed us. I'm hoping that happens. But if

539
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 6: it doesn't, like you said, I'm up for us trading

540
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: up to get the best receiver as we possibly can.

541
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be the ideal scenario, right, Thomas, because

542
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: you're not parting with any draft capital, the board falls

543
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: exactly the way you need it to, and you get

544
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: a top tier receiver or maybe the first guy and

545
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 2: only guy in the second tier in this class in

546
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. That would be the ideal scenario. T Higgins,

547
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: according to the Cincinnati Bengals, is not available for trade,

548
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: even though he requested to be traded. So too did

549
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, their number one pass rusher, who's fed up

550
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: with the situation there and not getting an extension and

551
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: all this stuff. And let me just tell you this

552
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: isn't the first time this has happened in Cincinnati. But basically,

553
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: the top tier of the talent on that roster is

554
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: already splintering t Higgins now, Hendrickson and ownership has a

555
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: history of not paying top dollar for players with few

556
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: exceptions quarterback and then maybe next year they pay Jamar Chase.

557
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: But Higgins not available for trade because the Bengals want

558
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: to try to run at the super Bowl one more

559
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: time with their current roster that includes Higgins, and then

560
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: next year they'll figure it out. So I don't think

561
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: he's available for trade either.

562
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: That is the problem.

563
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: You've got guys on fifty year options. I think Ayuk

564
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: has a good chance to get moved, but I think

565
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: the number of teams interested are going to be far

566
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: fewer because of the contract we just told you about

567
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: with Saint Brown, and Higgins is supposed to be playing

568
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: there in twenty twenty four. He said as much on

569
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: a recent podcast. My expectation is I will be playing

570
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati in twenty twenty four.

571
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: And he probably will be. Yeah, so you're not getting T.

572
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: Higgins out of Cincinnati this year. So yeah, that your

573
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: best bet, and the most likely thing to happen is

574
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 3: the Bills are going to get some white receiver help,

575
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 3: probably multiple wide receivers in this draft. It's gonna be

576
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: off the list we've been talking about for a month

577
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 3: and a half two months. And they're also probably gonna

578
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: get some guys we have not talked about so much

579
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: later in the later rounds of this draft. How it's

580
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: gonna happen at the top is debt. Is is dependent

581
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: on the teams ahead of Buffalo, that's what it is.

582
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: And behind I guess too if somebody's gonna leap frog

583
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: the Bills. But that's what it's gonna be, and that's

584
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: the that's really for me. The only question what happens

585
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: ahead of the Bills that changes things for them?

586
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but more of your phone

587
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: calls when we return. We'll lead off with Ryan and

588
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: West Seneca and others holding an eight oh three oh

589
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: five fifty. Who is your player for the Bills in

590
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: round one and how is it going to happen? You

591
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: let us know next here on one Bill's Live, presented

592
00:30:52,880 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, back

593
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 2: here on one of Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

594
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: with you.

595
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: Where we are asking you today? Who is your pick

596
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: for the Bills in round one?

597
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: And how is it happening? Are the Bills making a

598
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: move to get your guy? What is going on? How

599
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: is it taking place? You let us know at eighth

600
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: three five point fifty. Back to the phones and we

601
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: lead off with Ryan and West Seneca.

602
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: What's up? Ryan?

603
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 7: Hey? How you guys doing good? Hey?

604
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 8: So like we were, you guys were just talking about

605
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 8: Kansas City burning down. I think the Bills Stadium is

606
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 8: going to burn down with US Bills fans if we

607
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 8: don't take somebody to help out Josh Allen, you know,

608
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 8: getting a wide receiver, especially with all the turnovers and

609
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 8: the captains that we lost this year, and I just

610
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 8: think they need to they need to do something for

611
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 8: like our psyche. I think Brandon Bean needs to be

612
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 8: a mover and a shaker. I don't think going all

613
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 8: the way up to get the top three is the

614
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 8: way to go. My guys were always Brian Thomas. I

615
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 8: like the Get. I like McConkie. I think Thomas is

616
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 8: something that is doable. And you know, I mean you're

617
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 8: probably to me, I think you're looking at like the

618
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 8: twenty to twenty two range for him, and you know,

619
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 8: you know, you wouldn't have to give up crazy amounts

620
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 8: of capital to get that. If you like the Get,

621
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 8: you like McConkie, you're pretty much probably gonna stay there,

622
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 8: you know, or right where you are. But then, like

623
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 8: you said you were, you're you're worried about you know, uh,

624
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 8: people moving up from from the the you know, the

625
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 8: the beginning of the second round. So uh, I mean

626
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 8: to me, like my me, all all our US closet gms.

627
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 8: You know, my my biggest brain thing was I actually

628
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 8: wanted to move out and go uh and get you know,

629
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 8: like uh, Carolina, get it like a thirty nine, You'll

630
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 8: have your sixty, and then uh to get the third

631
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 8: round pick again. You know, in the beginning of the

632
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 8: third that was like my biggest thing. But then you're

633
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 8: you reported about this uh uh that that run could

634
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 8: happen and you might miss out on the guy that

635
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 8: we like, and it's like that's that's so, you know.

636
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 8: The biggest thing I really want though, is you know

637
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 8: last year was the tight end draft, right, you know

638
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 8: it was uh, it was tight end. We really wasn't

639
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 8: really a position of need for us, but it was strong.

640
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 8: This is a wide receiver draft, so I hope they

641
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 8: dip their toe in there twice and you know, go

642
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 8: get your guy in the first you know, don't move

643
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 8: back now because with all these reports. But I hope

644
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 8: he does move around and gets a third. I think

645
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 8: there's enough. We have a couple of fours, we got

646
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 8: three five sixes. I think there's enough capital to get

647
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 8: into the third round again and maybe dip your toe

648
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 8: in because I really like Roman Wilson in the third round.

649
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 8: I like uh, I like McCaffrey. Uh you know, I

650
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 8: forgot what his first name was, but uh yeah, I

651
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 8: just like these guys and I think that could help

652
00:33:58,640 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 8: out too, you know what I mean. But dip your

653
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 8: going to that water quite all right?

654
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Ryan, We got to move along. We got other

655
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: people waiting.

656
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, As we said in the last seming, and I

657
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: think trading down is not a good idea, especially if

658
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: you don't like the value at receiver at twenty eight.

659
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna get even worse if you move back because

660
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: of the anticipated run at the top of the second round,

661
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: and maybe some teams even trying to leave flog into

662
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: the bottom of round one to get the receiver that

663
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: they want to beat that anticipated run on wideouts in

664
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 2: round two.

665
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 3: By by a value chart, you could take all three

666
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: of the fifth rounders, you know, the one, forty four, one,

667
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: sixty one, sixty three, and you could get into the

668
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 3: bottom of the third.

669
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: And let's not forget Brandon Bean was ticked when they

670
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: got jobbed out of a third round compensatory picked by

671
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: the league. They were only awarded a four. He wanted

672
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: to be in that round. If they take some impetus.

673
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 3: There, if they take all three of those fifth rounders

674
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: they've got, they could get back into just a head

675
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 3: of where the compensatory third rounders are right the end

676
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: of the third. So if it's there to do, you're right,

677
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 3: they do have some collateral in the back of the

678
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 3: rounds that could do it. But they would cost them

679
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 3: three players to get one. And when you start talking

680
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 3: about it like that, that's four swings, three swings at

681
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 3: getting a guy like, you know, a Khalil Shakir or

682
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: a Christian Benford or a Tarren Johnson or late round successes. Now,

683
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 3: certainly the one guy you do pick is a guy

684
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 3: you really think is going to be that, but you're

685
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: also picking the other guys for that same reason too,

686
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: So later on, Yeah.

687
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you.

688
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: You know right, Yeah, Ryan, I I I think the

689
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: most likely scenario is the Brand trades up a couple

690
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 3: of spots. But I mean, you may be right. People

691
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 3: won't be happy if they don't take a wide receiver

692
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: some help for Josh in this draft. But if all

693
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 3: those guys are off, if if Brian Thomas Junior's gone,

694
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 3: if mcconkey's gone, if Worthy's gone, if Mitchell's gone, what

695
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: are you gonna do?

696
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: Probably taking an edge, you're gonna take it.

697
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 3: Then you're gonna take Liatu lat To because he'll be there,

698
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 3: because all those other guys are took up some spots.

699
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: I mean there's because you know, if they're gonna take

700
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 3: if they're gonna take nine receivers ahead of you at

701
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 3: twenty eight.

702
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: Although lat Too, they're talking about maybe leap frog and

703
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: the second best pass rusher, I mean, Dallas Turner was

704
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: being booked as a lock the pass rusher out of

705
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: Alabama in the eight hole for Atlanta, and now they're

706
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 2: talking about Atlanta moving out of there, which would change

707
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: that dynamic number one. And then Jared Verse was expected

708
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: to go somewhere between ten and twenty and now people

709
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: are talking about lat To maybe going as early as

710
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 2: ten or eleven.

711
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 3: So what if one of those three falls to you

712
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 3: at twenty eight, Well then he's like, well, okay, uh,

713
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 3: maybe you do. Certainly I've said it before, given what

714
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 3: we saw from Kansas City last year, and give them

715
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 3: what we know about Josh Allen. He's got enough weapons

716
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 3: for this offense to beat to beat anybody on any

717
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: given Sunday, no question about it. You know, if you

718
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 3: want an extra cherry on the cake of your offensive roster, okay,

719
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 3: that's what you're gonna get with one of these guys.

720
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 3: But they're still with With or without one of these guys,

721
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 3: they're gonna be good, but it would make all of

722
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: us feel good if they, you know, replace Steph Diggs

723
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: with somebody other than just Curtis Samuel And I'm gonna

724
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: say I'm not no.

725
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: Resrespect for Curtis.

726
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: The question after this draft is they might be good,

727
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: but is they're good? Not as good as it used

728
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: to be because everybody else has armed themselves with receiver town.

729
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 3: Kansas City did it, And maybe the Bills will zig

730
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 3: when everybody expects them to zag, and maybe they'll take

731
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: a corner and they'll take an edge rusher and they'll

732
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: take you know, maybe all of a sudden they look

733
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: like Kansas City and Sean mcdermot's gonna call the plays,

734
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 3: or Bobby Babbage's gonna call the defensive plays, and now

735
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they're like Kansas City and their

736
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 3: defense steps up and is a top defense in the league.

737
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: It's core and all that stuff.

738
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 3: Maybe they're gonna zig when everybody zags, but man, that

739
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 3: would would that be a shocker?

740
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: Yes? Absolutely, Let's go to Chuck and Hamburg next.

741
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 9: What's up, Chuck, Chris, Steve, how are you guys today?

742
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: Good? Good, good.

743
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 9: I don't think it really matters who we take or

744
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 9: at what number round because these guys are gonna have

745
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 9: a learning curve when they come into the pro set.

746
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 9: They've been playing against college guys for years. It'll be

747
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 9: a huge learning curve for anybody who they pick. Steve

748
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 9: Weather's getting better at see out in east or Man?

749
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: All right, man, nice, Chuck.

750
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there will be a little bit of a learning curve.

751
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too about football. It's different than

752
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: basketball because basketball, these guys play.

753
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: Against each other when they're in high school.

754
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: You know, the distillation process of the talent in basketball

755
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: is that you can get three guys and go play

756
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: three on three and pick up and go.

757
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: You can't do that in football.

758
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 3: So in basketball, you get high school and college players

759
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: that do scrimmage and play against pro guys. They practice

760
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 3: against them, work with so they know how they measure up.

761
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 3: You do not know how these guys are going to

762
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: measure up at the pro level. You just don't. There

763
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 3: are too many variables. You don't know which pro, which

764
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 3: type of pro athlete he's going to be competing against.

765
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 3: Is gonna be a big physical corner, is going to

766
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 3: be a small fast corner, is it gonna be whatever?

767
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: Whatever.

768
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: So, yeah, there is a big learning curve and there

769
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 3: is a a little bit of a let's wait and

770
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 3: see how he does approach to this. But most of

771
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: these guys at the top of the round have the

772
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 3: tools to win against anybody. Now, they may not have

773
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 3: it between their ears yet, but that's that's an adjustment.

774
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: We'll have to wait and see how long it takes,

775
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 3: and it'll take a different amount of time for each guy.

776
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to Stan in Buffalo next. What do you

777
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: got for a Stan?

778
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call again today. I'm

779
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 5: still to the point where, you know, I don't know

780
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 5: what it'll cost us, But like you guys are saying,

781
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 5: it depends what goes on before us and at the top,

782
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 5: I mean, there was talk of eight or nine receivers

783
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 5: going in the first round. I personally think that you're

784
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 5: probably looking at legitimately five going in the first round.

785
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 5: You know you're gonna have that offensive tackle, you're gonna

786
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 5: have four or five quarterbacks, you're gonna have a bunch

787
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 5: of different positional players, dns, D tackles, they're gonna go.

788
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 5: So I think if we can go up and get

789
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 5: Neighbor and somehow he drops to eight or nine, in

790
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 5: my opinion, i'd rather have him than know and Dunzie.

791
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 5: And if he doesn't drop that load to go get him,

792
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 5: I think we'd look to get into the eighteen twenty

793
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 5: mark and get Brian Thomas. And then I'm wondering if

794
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 5: you guys think if are one this year, Minnesota is

795
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 5: two next year, A four and a five this year

796
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 5: gets that position and a three this year, all right, I.

797
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: Don't think you're getting the three back, Okay, I just don't.

798
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't see it. And the reason why, Stan is

799
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: because a lot of what you're giving in terms of

800
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: your best draft capital is from next year.

801
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: And that's the rub.

802
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: That's why I think it's going to be. Not only

803
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: are you giving up a lot for the future, I

804
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 2: don't think it's as attractive as the capital some other

805
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: teams could offer from this year. A lot of people

806
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: when they're when they're giving up a top ten pick

807
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: this year, they want draft capital in return form from

808
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: this year, and the Bills can't offer a whole lot

809
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 2: of that, So I think it's going to be supremely

810
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: difficult for them to do that. Of Course, the other

811
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: option is to put a player in the trade and

812
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 2: do that, but there are teams that can't take it

813
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: on salary. So I think that's the fly in the

814
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: ointment for the Bills for making a big move up

815
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: the board. I'm not ruling it out. I'm not saying

816
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean can't make it happen. But for my money,

817
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: I think most of these teams in the top ten

818
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 2: are going to be looking for premier draft capital and

819
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 2: return in this year's draft, and the fact is the

820
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: Bills just don't have a whole lot of that.

821
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 3: You could, you could, I mean, I don't know. It

822
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 3: might be a little too complicated and you'd have to

823
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: get somebody to bite. But if you took to this

824
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: year's one, next year's two from Minnesota, and if you

825
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 3: give it the commensured value it they have this year,

826
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 3: and then give them two of your fifth round picks

827
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 3: to your you know name, whichever won he one forty four,

828
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: one sixty one, sixty three, either any of those that

829
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 3: would get.

830
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: You up to that would get you up to let's see, Yeah,

831
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: that'll get you up three zex you up to ten.

832
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: He wants to get to seven or eight. I don't

833
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: know if that's happening. That's you're just shy. You're just

834
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: shy of it.

835
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: And that's given away the far and that's.

836
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 3: Given away this year's one one of next year's two's

837
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 3: and two fives this year. So you give away three

838
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 3: picks this year and a pick next year to get

839
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 3: up to inside the top fifteen.

840
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: We have to take a break, but more of your

841
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: phone calls when we come back. So if you're holding

842
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: at ATO three oh five fifty, stay where you are.

843
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to you.

844
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 2: Who do you have the bills taken with their first pick?

845
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: And how are they getting it done? You let us

846
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 2: know at Ato three oh five fifty. We're back in

847
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: a flash here on draft Day on One Bill's Live.

848
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown,

849
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you, gonna get right back to the

850
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: phones where we are asking you who is your pick

851
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: for the Bills on Night one of the draft, and

852
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: how are the Bills getting them? Do they have to

853
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: make a move somewhere on the board to make it

854
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 2: happen for you. Let's go to Rick and ken more next.

855
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: What's up? Rick?

856
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 7: Hey? You know, just sure is a tough couple of

857
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 7: statements with our rations because I don't think that, you know,

858
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 7: the fact that Buffalo doesn't have a third round pick

859
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 7: is gonna be a lot harder for being to navigate

860
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 7: the early part of this draft. And you know that,

861
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 7: you know, that's my opinion of that. If he watched it,

862
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 7: whatever he does, however it goes, it's fine, you know,

863
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 7: but I just think without that third round pick, it's

864
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 7: not going to be as easy for him. Secondly, you know,

865
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 7: I was kind of like fifty to fifty before the

866
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 7: Digs trade as far as whether they would draft an

867
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 7: offensive or defensive player first o overall. After the Digs trade,

868
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 7: of course, you know, I'll lean towards a wide receiver,

869
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 7: you know. And it's it's basically a known fact that

870
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 7: you know, I watched pretty much all the time and listen, whatever,

871
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 7: it's that Chris Brown is a ban crush on one

872
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas, that's fine. The first thing I ever read

873
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 7: on that but was Walter Football and it wasn't very flattering.

874
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 7: Everything since then has been basically more positive. And what's

875
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 7: and what.

876
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 10: Counts the most is I had recently heard that Josh

877
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 10: Allen thinks very highly of them, So you know, that's

878
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 10: a good nod and Brian Thoms's direction as far as

879
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 10: echoes second all, a while back, Steve said that he

880
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 10: was not really he was against or thought that the

881
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 10: Chicago Bears them drafting Caleb Willis would flop with the

882
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 10: you know, by them.

883
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 7: Picking him a quarterback. Well, most recently Mike rob agreed

884
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 7: with Steve, and there's a there's a select few others

885
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 7: that do agree with him. Also, I do not, I

886
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 7: totally disagree with that. I think that that that Caleb

887
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 7: Williams will be every bit as good, if not better

888
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 7: than Justin Fields. Was that I like Justin Fields for

889
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 7: that matter? You know, I really did. And finally, there's

890
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 7: two receivers in a draft that I kind of really

891
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 7: have a question about. One of them is Roman will

892
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 7: sitting from Michigan. He's slightly under news. I don't hear

893
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 7: his name mentioned very often as far as what is

894
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 7: how he might pan out. And there's another guy that

895
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 7: the Bills have on their top thirty visits. His name

896
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 7: is Ryan Floriney, and I know Elliott mentioned him yesterday

897
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 7: and it's like, I don't know, you know, I don't

898
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 7: know anything about him, and all I kind of wonder

899
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 7: about what his potential might be. And you you know,

900
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 7: as far as what I just said, you can do

901
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 7: what you want with it. And I'm I thank you

902
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 7: for taking my call. I appreciate it.

903
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 2: Sure sure thing, Rick, Yeah, I mean, I'll just say this.

904
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: I like Roman Wilson.

905
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

906
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: He projects at least for me as a slot receiver

907
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL because he's five ten eighty six, runs

908
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: a four to thretey nine. He's got a lot of

909
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 2: the same traits. He's a poor man's lad McConkie. That's

910
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: kind of what he is.

911
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

912
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 2: He's got explosion off the line, kind of like pitter

913
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 2: patter type style to his route, running to separate in coverage,

914
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 2: but sure handed he can work open for the quarterback

915
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: on off script plays, which would happen from time to

916
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: time because McCarthy would be back there from Michigan buying

917
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 2: some time. He's not gonna preak tackles after the catch though,

918
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 2: because he's just too diminutive in size. But the kid

919
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: makes an effort to find the first down marker. And

920
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: he had a senior season where he exploded, I mean,

921
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 2: twelve touchdowns this past season after having ten total his

922
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 2: previous three years. He's a He's a late Day two,

923
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 2: early Day three pick as far as I see him,

924
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: that's kind of where he comes in. And then as

925
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: far as flower Nor is concerned, he's way down the list.

926
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: I mean, he is a Day three prospect. Six' one

927
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: two oh two ran a four four four forty gigantic

928
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 2: hands ten and eighth inch even though he's only six

929
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 2: to one lined up to the field and the boundary

930
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 2: and in the slot for Southeast Missouri State. I think

931
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: the best thing he does is gain leverage on the defender.

932
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: He just has a knack for knowing how to out

933
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 2: leverage a defender to make plays. Not a big separator,

934
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 2: but reads the dB and out leverages him to get

935
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 2: open or open enough. And then the other stuff I

936
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: had on him after I was watching him, has body control,

937
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 2: yards after catchability. He was a two year captain on

938
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: that team. He is a full blown developmental prospect. I

939
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: think he's like fifth sixth round. I think that's where

940
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: he kind of comes into the conversation.

941
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got the kind of physical traits that would

942
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 3: set him apart. Now his like Brownie said, there's some

943
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 3: things about him that you know on the field where

944
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 3: you think, okay, he needs to do better here, do better.

945
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: But the guy's got the physical traits.

946
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 3: He runs fast enough, he's big enough, he's strong enough,

947
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 3: and if he's a two and a two year captain,

948
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 3: he's got all the right the DNA.

949
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: Yep, that's why the Bills bring him in.

950
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: There's some Gabe Davis in Florida, right.

951
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: There's they're gonna get this guy.

952
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 3: If he's there, you can bet that that he's gonna

953
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 3: be one of you know that he's gonna be that

954
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 3: Bill's pick that is like the you know, the one

955
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 3: to eleven pick one thirty four pick and for sure

956
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 3: the one sixty five, two oh three pick one of those.

957
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be.

958
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 2: Separation is his biggest issue, which was also Gabe Davis's issue.

959
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 3: To be quite frank well, I had the those are

960
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 3: the wrong those are the wrong numbers I gave you,

961
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 3: but he'll be in one of those.

962
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 2: He's a round four or round five guy, maybe even

963
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 2: round six depending on how the run on receivers goes

964
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 2: on Day two. Let's go to Luke in Rochester next.

965
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: What's up Luke?

966
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 11: Hey, Chris, I have a man crush to on Brian

967
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 11: Thomas Jr.

968
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: Join the Join the club, buddy, Steve.

969
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 11: You definitely belong in the Hall of Fame. You're just

970
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 11: an exceptional special teams player, pretty crucial receiver too. Here's

971
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 11: my take on Brian Thomas Junior. I think he's the

972
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 11: best receiver. I think he's going to be better than

973
00:48:54,760 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 11: Eric Molds. I think he has exceptional body control, superior hands,

974
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 11: and he has the best separation ability. I don't like Neighbors,

975
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 11: I don't like a Don'sday. I don't even like Harrison.

976
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 11: I don't know that he's not going to be drafted earlier.

977
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 11: So the Bills have to actually move up to twelve

978
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 11: thirteen or fourteen fourteen because I don't think the Colds

979
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 11: are going to deny Richardson that kind of a talented player.

980
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 11: And then, just as on the side, I hope the

981
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 11: Bills can somehow manage to dress either Riffy Parsol or

982
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 11: Tel Rocker and later on or even Fournier and you

983
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 11: guys discussed I'm going to be biting my nails tonight.

984
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all are cross your fingers and toes. Luke,

985
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we got to run. We're up against the

986
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 2: break here. Yeah, I mean, like I said a few

987
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 2: weeks ago, everybody, the concern was Brian Thomas going to

988
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: go in the top six team. I'm not convinced the

989
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 2: Colts are taking a receiver. They need corner help. And

990
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 2: the latest buzz out of Indy is if they do

991
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 2: take a receiver, it's gonna be Xavier Worthy. So that's

992
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: the scuttle buck coming out of Indy right now. Could

993
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 2: be a smoke screen, but they apparently are fascinated with

994
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: Worthy speed because they think, well, if we couple that

995
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 2: with Anthony Richardson's rocket arm, we could have some very

996
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 2: short scoring drives, right right.

997
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 3: So listen, I like Brian Thomas Junior too, but you

998
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 3: put him up above Marvin Harrison Junior or something that

999
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 3: I don't know a little bit. That's that's a little

1000
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 3: bit stretched, a little bit much I'm I'm kind of

1001
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 3: with you though. As much as we've been talking about this,

1002
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 3: we are gonna know who this guy is that the

1003
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 3: Bills are going to take. If they stay at twenty eight,

1004
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 3: they'll get a guy. He's gonna be pretty good. But

1005
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 3: there'll be a lot whoever it is when you get

1006
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 3: this far down. If there's if he's the sixth, seventh,

1007
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 3: eighth wide receiver taken, there's gonna be a lot of people.

1008
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 3: Even in Bill's fantom, they're gonna be like, ah, I

1009
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 3: don't know he's got you know there, he's gonna have

1010
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 3: some question marks from this end, so you know, I yeah,

1011
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 3: you're telling me Brian Thomas j is gonna be better

1012
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 3: than Eric Molds. I'll believe it when I see ye.

1013
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 2: Let's let's pump the brakes on that one.

1014
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see.

1015
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: I gotta take a break here. When we come back

1016
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: our number two, we'll begin with our friend Chris Jrpasso CB,

1017
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 2: a sports draft and NFL player analyst. We'll go over

1018
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 2: his last mock draft with him when we return here.

1019
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 2: On One Bill's Drive. One Bill's Live presented by Collide Help.

Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

Speaker 2: and also joining us at this time is CBS Sports

1026
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 2: Draft and NFL player analyst Chris Trapasso just released his

1027
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 2: last and final mock draft ahead of tonight's first round,

1028
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: and I am not going to reveal who he has

1029
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 2: going to the Bills at twenty eight.

1030
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: I will let him do the honors. But Chris, good

1031
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: to have you. How you've been.

1032
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 12: I've been pretty good today. I'm all dressed up. It

1033
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 12: feels like a wedding day. So I wanted to come

1034
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 12: on this show. I know that there's half listeners half viewers,

1035
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 12: but I wanted to wear suit and tie because it's

1036
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 12: that festive of a day for me in this household.

1037
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with you. We've been looking forward

1038
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 3: to it for a long time. You got and you're right.

1039
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 3: I mean, this is now every draft, every mock draft

1040
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 3: that we've seen and heard about for months is now

1041
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 3: obsolete after tonight. So give us an idea what your

1042
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 3: last one was put, what went into it?

1043
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 12: A lot so I first published it Wednesday, and then

1044
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 12: my editors let me make some tweaks, and this year

1045
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 12: I made more than just a few tweeks. I kind

1046
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 12: of redid the entire thing today because there's always that

1047
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 12: day of rumors and speculation, and some reports that come

1048
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 12: out we don't ultimately know if they're going to be

1049
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 12: true or not. I guess we'll find out in the

1050
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 12: next couple hours. Six or seven trades in the first round,

1051
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 12: I think we're gonna maybe not see a bunch early,

1052
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 12: but beyond the ninth or tenth pick. I think a

1053
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 12: lot of different movement teams going up and down the board.

1054
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 12: But ironically, I don't think the Bills are going to

1055
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 12: ultimately do that.

1056
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So why don't you just kind of

1057
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: share who you had for the Bills and just your

1058
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 2: reasoning behind it.

1059
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 13: Lad McConkie, the wide receiver from Georgia.

1060
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 12: I do think Brandon Bean will make some calls, but

1061
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 12: it feels like there are a bunch of teams that

1062
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 12: need receiver. And anytime I tried to pinpoint a spot

1063
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 12: for the Bills to move up, whether it was way

1064
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 12: up to number nine with the Bears or a team

1065
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 12: like the Colts at fifteen or into the twenties, maybe

1066
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 12: at twenty with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I figured those teams

1067
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 12: probably need receivers too. And it's such a good class.

1068
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 12: We've talked about the depth for the last four months,

1069
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 12: but there's also a lot of premier, top end talent.

1070
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 12: So in this draft, Brian Thomas goes way in front

1071
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 12: of the Bills, like like five or six picks, o'doonsay, neighbors,

1072
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 12: Marvin Harrison Junior, they're all off the board, and it

1073
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 12: sounds like a negative connotation to say they settle on

1074
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 12: a lad McConkey, But I don't necessarily think that's the case.

1075
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 12: This is a wide receiver that we know can get open,

1076
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 12: that we know has been sneaky good after the catch

1077
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 12: in the SEC over multiple seasons. He's not a one

1078
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 12: year wonder like a few of the other wide receivers

1079
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 12: in his class. He does have kind of small hands,

1080
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 12: but didn't really have any drop problems at Georgia.

1081
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 13: I think the character will be good.

1082
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 12: And the fact that he won on the outside he

1083
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 12: was lined up there like seventy or almost eighty percent

1084
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 12: of the time in the SEC, you know he can

1085
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 12: probably win in the slot because of his quickness, But

1086
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 12: if the Bills need him to win on the perimeter,

1087
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 12: they could do that. A lot of movement in this

1088
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 12: offense in terms of free snap alignment, I think lead

1089
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 12: McConkie would just tick a lot of the boxes. Can

1090
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 12: create explosive plays after the catch or just running by

1091
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 12: people with that four to three nine speed. So if

1092
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 12: the Bills don't ultimately move up, I think McConkie to me,

1093
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 12: felt like the wide receiver in this class that could

1094
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 12: be there and would make sense to again tick a

1095
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 12: lot of those boxes for what it seems like they

1096
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 12: want at wide receiver.

1097
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 3: So you think at this level McConkie could be an

1098
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 3: outside receiver at the NFL, I mean, because that's really

1099
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 3: the question, right, I mean, he seems like he's a

1100
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 3: little bit redundant when you look at him and Khalil Shakir,

1101
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 3: but he can play.

1102
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: You think he can move outside.

1103
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's not very long, and so I do think

1104
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 12: some of those corners with those thirty two and thirty

1105
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 12: three inch arms, there's not quite as many of those

1106
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 12: anymore in the NFL, but they will give him some problems.

1107
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 12: But his releases off the line again playing in the

1108
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 12: SEC really the pharm System League for the NFL. I

1109
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 12: think he's great at beating press coverage, the subtleties in

1110
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 12: his routes. I mean, you've had me say this. You

1111
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 12: guys have talked about I've had other analysts on to

1112
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 12: say when it comes to route running subtleties and nuance

1113
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 12: and head fakes and shoulder fakes and changing speeds throughout

1114
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 12: the route and hitting double moves led McConkie, I think,

1115
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 12: behind Marvin Harrison Junior, is the most squeaky clean route

1116
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 12: runner in this class. And again he did it at

1117
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 12: Georgia winning on the outside, so I would understand some redundancy,

1118
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 12: but I think the Bills want to move everyone around,

1119
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 12: have Shakir play on the outside sometimes and have Curtis

1120
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 12: Samuel in motion starting in the slot and going to

1121
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 12: the perimeter, Dalton kincaid moving around. So with McConkie, you

1122
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 12: do get more outside ability than I think people would

1123
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 12: like to think because he's a little bit of a smaller,

1124
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 12: quicker wide receiver. But I think I just think he

1125
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 12: has the complete package. The only concern I would have

1126
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 12: that I don't have all the information on is the medicals.

1127
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 12: He only caught thirty passes last year, and it wasn't

1128
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 12: because he wasn't productive. It was just because he had,

1129
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 12: you know, a few dings here and there. So if

1130
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 12: the medicals check out and the Bill see a bunch

1131
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 12: of receivers go off the board, the cost to trade.

1132
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 13: Up is too prohibitive.

1133
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 12: I think landa McConkey would make a lot of sense

1134
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 12: at twenty eight.

1135
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1136
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 2: I try to use past history and Bean's preferences as

1137
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 2: somewhat of a guide, and I think more often than not,

1138
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 2: what we've witnessed him do is in the first round anyway,

1139
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 2: take players with elite physical traits, and that's the only

1140
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 2: thing that gets me in the way of taking lad

1141
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 2: for the Bills at twenty eight. The other question I

1142
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 2: wanted to ask you is, and we've seen this in

1143
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: late mocks here late you know, in the game this week,

1144
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 2: chiefly Brian Thomas falling down the board. I mean two

1145
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 2: three weeks ago. He's going off the board at twelve

1146
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 2: fifteen to the Colts, you know, seventeen to the Jags.

1147
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 2: Now he is routinely in the twenties. You have him

1148
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 2: at twenty three to the Rams after they moved down

1149
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 2: from nineteen. Your colleague Pete Prisco has Brian Thomas last

1150
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 2: in all the way to the Bills at twenty eight.

1151
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah in his last mock has Brian Thomas all

1152
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 2: the way down at twenty eight. How likely do you

1153
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 2: think it is, Chris, that the competition and the fierce

1154
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 2: jockeying for position for offensive tackles and for quarterbacks could

1155
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: compromise the board in such a way that would favor

1156
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: Buffalo to have an opportunity like that.

1157
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's a great question.

1158
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 12: I think it's a good sign for the Bills to

1159
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 12: potentially have more options, including Brian Thomas at twenty eight,

1160
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 12: just based on what we've seen, like you said, in

1161
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 12: these kind of last minute mock drafts, especially from the

1162
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 12: really plugged in insiders that aren't mocking him at fifteen

1163
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 12: to the Colts or at twelve to the Broncos Anymore,

1164
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 12: there was a report that came out earlier this week

1165
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 12: that he has a little bit of a labram issue.

1166
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 12: That not that this is something that should linger throughout

1167
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 12: his NFL career, but maybe the medicals could push him

1168
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 12: down the board a little bit. If Lad mccackey or

1169
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 12: Brian Thomas, and I have them as my number three

1170
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,919
Speaker 12: and number four wide receivers in this class. If they're

1171
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 12: available within striking distance or they get all the way

1172
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 12: to twenty eight. I think Brandon Bean and that entire

1173
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 12: scouting staff they're at one Bill's Live would be ecstatic

1174
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 12: to be able to not have to trade the farm

1175
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 12: to get two players or one of two players that

1176
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 12: I think are elite talents that can be really good

1177
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 12: in this offense.

1178
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 3: And you talk about this draft maybe setting records for

1179
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 3: the number of offensive players taken in the first round,

1180
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 3: Let's say, let's say it's not. Let's say there's only

1181
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 3: seventeen or eighteen offensive players. Just over half of the

1182
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 3: offensive of the picks turn out to be offensive players

1183
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 3: the top.

1184
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: There are two sides of.

1185
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 3: The ball offensive defense, and it has been and it

1186
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 3: is an arms race. We feel like, at least in

1187
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 3: the AFC at the top with Buffalo, with Baltimore and

1188
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 3: of course Kansas City and the rest, are there enough

1189
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 3: defensive players who are really good to knock that number

1190
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 3: of offensive players taken off from twenty down to eighteen fifteen.

1191
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 13: Even Yeah, that's a good question too.

1192
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 12: I don't think so in this class, we don't have

1193
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 12: a Tremaine Edmonds or a Rokwan Smith or a Luke

1194
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 12: Keigley linebacker, and some classes we have a couple of them.

1195
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 12: We have Devin Lloyd and Devin Bush. In twenty nineteen,

1196
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 12: twenty twenty had three linebackers go in the first round.

1197
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 13: We're not gonna have that.

1198
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 12: The corners, there's really only two Alabama Terry and Arnold

1199
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 12: and Quinnon Mitchell from Toledo. We maybe could see kool

1200
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 12: Aid McKinstry in the first round, maybe Nate Wiggins. He's

1201
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 12: really athletic from Clemson, but very spindley like, under one

1202
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 12: hundred and eighty pounds. And even though we are seeing

1203
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 12: wide receivers get smaller and lighter, that is a very

1204
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 12: lightweight for a first round corner. And the defensive tackle

1205
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 12: class with Byron Murphy from Texas and Johnnie Newton from

1206
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 12: Illinois both really good players, and I think Byron Murphy

1207
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 12: is going to be probably a top half of the

1208
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 12: first round pick. But Johnny Newton didn't work out pre drafts,

1209
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 12: and I think it'll be hard for a GM to

1210
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 12: pull the trigger on him, not knowing what those testing

1211
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 12: numbers are so usually we have a few linebackers, four

1212
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 12: to six corners, we have more defensive tackles and the

1213
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 12: Edgrusher group that you guys have certainly talked about a

1214
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 12: lot as a potential fallback option for the Bills, it's

1215
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 12: really only four players deep with chob Robinson lied to

1216
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 12: La to Dallas Turner. So it's very difficult for the

1217
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 12: And Jared Versus was the other one that I was forgetting.

1218
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 12: There's not as many blue chip players at the variety

1219
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 12: of positions on defense, Like Chris was saying, on offense,

1220
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 12: there's quarterback, there's offensive tackle, there's wide receiver. It's very

1221
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 12: loaded at multiple spots. But that's just not the case

1222
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 12: on the defensive side of this class.

1223
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 2: Your colleague at CBS Sports, your NFL insider, Jonathan Jones,

1224
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 2: was reporting that at the top of Round two there

1225
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,439
Speaker 2: could be a run on receivers early on Day two,

1226
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 2: with five of the top seven picks all teams that

1227
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 2: you could very easily see taking a receiver, especially if

1228
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 2: a couple of those teams do not take one in

1229
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Round one, like a New England for example, or some others.

1230
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 2: A first question, what is the risk of one of

1231
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 2: those teams potentially leapfrogging the Bills, and how concerned do

1232
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 2: they have to be about that? And then b how

1233
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 2: much could a run like that at the top of

1234
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: round two affect the Bills options at pick sixty, where

1235
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 2: you know, let's just say, God forbid they have to

1236
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 2: take an edge rusher in round one. Then the run

1237
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 2: on receivers happens at the top of round two. What

1238
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 2: could the Bills be staring at at pick sixty when

1239
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 2: they may absolutely positively have to find a receiver.

1240
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 12: Well, to answer your first question, I do think the

1241
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 12: Bills will kind of have to be looking behind them

1242
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 12: to see, like, hey, we have the Panthers there at

1243
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 12: thirty three. They have an extra pick in the second round.

1244
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 12: The Washington commanders are really loaded with those days two picks,

1245
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 12: and they seem after they picked Jade and Daniels at too,

1246
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 12: that they're gonna want to load up. They lost Curtis

1247
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 12: Samuel to the Bills. They have Terry McLaurin, but they

1248
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 12: need more weapons for their young quarterback. The Patriots as well,

1249
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 12: they have some extra picks. So the Bills at twenty

1250
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 12: eight like they have to make sure, yes, they need

1251
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 12: to make calls up to see, hey, is Brian Thomas falling?

1252
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 12: Is Roman Dunza? Is any wide receiver falling in the

1253
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 12: range that is reasonable for the Bills. But also have

1254
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 12: to keep in mind that those teams are very hungry

1255
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 12: for wide receivers, So that is a distinct possibility. I

1256
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 12: don't think it's incredibly likely, but I don't think it's

1257
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 12: out of the realm of possibility at all. And in

1258
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 12: terms of your second question, that is the one issue

1259
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 12: that I would have with not going receiver in the

1260
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 12: first round. It could be something where a draft where

1261
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 12: the Bills can look and say, oh, okay, all these

1262
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 12: teams picking first five to ten picks in round two

1263
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 12: probably not gonna pick receiver. But that's not the case,

1264
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 12: as you just outlined, Chris, So many teams need wide receivers,

1265
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 12: and guys like Xavier Legette and Ricky Piersall and Kean

1266
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 12: Coleman could suddenly be off the board. And then, like

1267
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 12: I've kind of talked about during this pre draft process,

1268
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 12: the class is very good, a lot of high end,

1269
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 12: top end talent, but in terms of like premier depth.

1270
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 12: To get a future number one, the Bills would be

1271
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 12: taking a big risk to not pick one at twenty

1272
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 12: eight or maybe after a small trade back and then

1273
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 12: hoping that their guy gets all the way to sixty.

1274
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 12: I think most teams in the NFL today know how

1275
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 12: important wide receiver is to their team, regardless of who

1276
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 12: they already have, and just how much top end talent

1277
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 12: there is at that position in this draft class.

1278
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 3: Are we overreacting to the thought process? And we see

1279
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 3: it everywhere. People are expecting tons and tons of trades

1280
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 3: at the top of this draft. They still don't know

1281
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 3: how many quarterbacks in the top five. Do you think

1282
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 3: we're you know, are we like over hyping this or

1283
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 3: do you really expect to be there a ton of

1284
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 3: movement at the top of this or are we just

1285
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 3: kind of making it up as we go along here?

1286
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of drafts they sound like there's

1287
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 3: gonna be a ton of movement stuff. Maybe you get

1288
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,919
Speaker 3: one and if it's a big year, maybe you get two.

1289
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 3: You know, but it rarely happens. Do you expect that

1290
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 3: to change?

1291
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 12: I don't think so. So I think tonight we're not

1292
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 12: gonna see a lot at the top of the draft.

1293
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 12: It kind of feels like solidifying that the Patriots are

1294
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 12: going to stay put at three unless they're just trying

1295
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 12: to drive the price for that pick up. But I

1296
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 12: think whether it's Drake May and it seems most likely

1297
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 12: it's gonna be him from North Carolina to the Patriots,

1298
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 12: or it's JJ McCarthy, that they're just gonna stick and pick.

1299
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 12: But like I mentioned earlier, I think outside of the

1300
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 12: top ten, teams like the Saints that need an offensive

1301
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 12: tackle that hope to get maybe the second or third

1302
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 12: offensive tackle off the board, they could trade up because

1303
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 12: there is kind of a barren cornerback class at the top,

1304
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 12: that there could be a team like the Philadelphia Eagles

1305
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 12: looking to trade up for a corner things like that,

1306
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 12: I think we'll see maybe not as many trade ups

1307
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 12: for quarterbacks as normal, but maybe outside of that the

1308
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 12: non quarterback positions literally from pick ten all the way

1309
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 12: until the Bills pick at twenty eight, I wouldn't be

1310
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 12: surprised if there's three or four trades just because there's

1311
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 12: just not as many defensive top tier talent as it

1312
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 12: normally is.

1313
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 2: Last one for you, Chris, we know la too with

1314
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: the neck is a medical yellow flag, if not a

1315
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 2: medical red flag for some teams, But He's considered by

1316
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 2: many to be the best pure pass rusher in the draft.

1317
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 2: How do you think the clubs in this league fare

1318
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 2: with him in Round one? I mean, he's gonna be

1319
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 2: a first round pick, but the risk is there, and

1320
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 2: teams don't like messing with neck injury guys sometimes. So

1321
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 2: where do you think he ultimately lands, Because we've seen

1322
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 2: him as high as twelve and eleven and as low

1323
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 2: as twenty four to twenty five.

1324
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 12: I think probably closer to the top ten than closer

1325
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 12: to where the Bills pick. You're right in the teams definitely,

1326
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 12: especially when you're investing of first round pick, you don't

1327
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 12: want to have a lot of those red flags, whether

1328
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 12: it's a character concern or in this case with.

1329
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 13: Him a past neck injury.

1330
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 12: Starting at the combine and through the draft. Asking around

1331
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 12: the few sources that I have in the league, a

1332
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 12: lot of them mentioned to me that, look, he played

1333
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 12: the last two seasons, didn't have any problems with this

1334
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 12: was in his past. It's kind of like Jalen Phillips

1335
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 12: there of the Miami Dolphins.

1336
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 13: Who started at UCLA.

1337
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 12: Ironically he had a neck injury, medically retired from football,

1338
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 12: goes to Miami and he's a sixteenth pick in the draft.

1339
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 12: So I feel like with Latto in Jalen Phillips, similar size,

1340
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 12: similar pass rush, polish and athleticism. Like you mentioned, there

1341
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 12: is just too much to pass up in terms of

1342
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 12: overall skill set, high floor and high upside. And again

1343
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 12: this is not something that is lingering. He's not gonna

1344
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 12: miss time in training camp. He wasn't hampered by this

1345
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 12: last season. I think Latto's game really translates well to

1346
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 12: the NFL because he can beat blockers in a variety

1347
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 12: of ways.

1348
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 2: All right, Chris, thanks much for the time. Appreciate it.

1349
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Your Christmas Day is finally here, and enjoy it.

1350
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 13: Yes, thanks, guys, appreciate it.

01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Thanks right.

Speaker 14: Hey, gentlemen, how you doing today?

1369
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Good?

1370
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 14: Everybody's excited my guy. For the longest time, I've just

1371
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 14: had this feeling that I'm with Chris that we're gonna

1372
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 14: end up with McConkey, and I think we're gonna end

1373
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 14: up with them just by sitting where we're at. And

1374
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 14: what I wanted to point out was is exciting, and

1375
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 14: you know, everybody wants the best talent, highest talent, all that,

1376
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 14: and as exciting as it is to try and move

1377
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 14: up and all that. You know, Brandon repeatedly every year

1378
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 14: says we want to be competitive every year. We want

1379
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 14: to take a shot at it every year. And if

1380
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 14: we really believe about our team what we say all

1381
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 14: the time, as in, we have a great coaching staff

1382
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 14: that can develop talent. And you know, the bottom line,

1383
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 14: the ace in the hole is obviously Josh. He should

1384
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 14: be able to make receivers better when you look at

1385
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 14: this class once you get past the top three, I

1386
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 14: don't believe there's that much difference in talent when you

1387
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 14: go from Mitchell and Thomas down to maybe the next

1388
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 14: five guys. And if the Bills look at the overall

1389
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 14: roster that they have, they need to really end Fox's

1390
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 14: roster with youth and talent, and that means all the

1391
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 14: way through the draft this year and next. So I'm

1392
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 14: more inclined to say hold your water, sit at twenty eight.

1393
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 14: If Thomas or Mitchell are say twenty two to twenty three,

1394
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 14: make a small move up if you can without giving

1395
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 14: up too much in assets to go get it. Then,

1396
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 14: But if not, holds your water and take who's ever there,

1397
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 14: who you truly believe in, and absolutely do not touch

1398
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 14: next year's number one or either one of those number twos,

1399
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 14: because I believe you're gonna need that in fux of

1400
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 14: top end talent to rebuild our defense next year.

1401
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 3: What receiver was Mark, What would receiver would be there

1402
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 3: if to take instead of McConkie. What if Brian Thomas

1403
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 3: Junior and Ady Mitchell are both there either?

1404
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 14: Well, if I'm thinking my scenario is either McConkie or

1405
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 14: Leggat That's that's who I think they.

1406
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 7: Should go for.

1407
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: You know, mconkie ahead of eighty one Mitchell and no not.

1408
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 2: Doesn't expect him to be there.

1409
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 14: Yeah, right, okay, right, But if Mitchell or Thomas are

1410
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 14: there at twenty two, twenty three, go get one of them.

1411
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 3: Get you think so, you think there's gonna be at

1412
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 3: least five receivers gone by the time it gets to Buffalo.

1413
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 14: I would think so. If they sit at twenty eight

1414
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 14: and don't make a move up the board, I can't

1415
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 14: see any of those top five being there. I just

1416
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 14: can't see that happening.

1417
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that might be the magic number. You get five

1418
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 3: wide receivers off the board by the time it gets

1419
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 3: to twenty eight. Yeah, you're gonna You're gonna have to

1420
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 3: figure out what you're gonna do. And and the problem

1421
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 3: is you said, hey, you get the guy you really

1422
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 3: believe in. What if there's nobody you really believe in

1423
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 3: when you get to twenty eight. That's the nightmare scenario.

1424
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Ryan and Toronto next, what's up? Ryan?

1425
01:11:56,120 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 15: Steve busy man? I just don't see the value the

1426
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 15: point of treading up and giving all these assets for

1427
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 15: one player. I wanted to think we should double de

1428
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 15: trade down and get two receivers and you know what,

1429
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 15: hope for the best and we hit one of them

1430
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 15: into trading up and giving up all these assets. First round,

1431
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 15: pest round, second round. I just don't see the value

1432
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 15: of doing this, to be honest, Okay, get thoughts.

1433
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: Would it change your mind?

1434
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 16: Ryan?

1435
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 2: If I told you that it's widely anticipated there's going

1436
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 2: to be a run on receivers at the top of

1437
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 2: round two, and you would be dropping yourself right into

1438
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 2: the middle of that, maybe even on the back end

1439
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 2: of that, and you're going back to a place where

1440
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 2: you thought you might get to pick from a pool

1441
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 2: of the seventh to twelfth best receivers in the class,

1442
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 2: and by the time it gets to you now it's twelve.

1443
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 2: Does that change your mind at all?

1444
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 15: I see where you're coming from, Chris. To be honest, man,

1445
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 15: like I just I'm looking for I'm looking at the wrong,

1446
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 15: wrong run picture, That's what I'm saying.

1447
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.

1448
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, I understand you may have draft caap next season,

1449
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 15: but I just don't see the investment went up giving

1450
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 15: up all these freak of picks for one dude that

1451
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 15: I get it.

1452
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 2: It's hard to get an agitated.

1453
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:17,560
Speaker 1: I love it. I agree with you.

1454
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 10: Ryan.

1455
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, Ryan, I giving up like three picks

1456
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 3: to move up and get a guy.

1457
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: I get it.

1458
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 3: The guy might be good, really But on the other

1459
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 3: end of the spectrum, and I'm not saying this will

1460
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 3: happen to be very difficult, all three of the guys

1461
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 3: you give up could be great picks. And certainly we

1462
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 3: know this almost without a doubt. There will be three

1463
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 3: guys on the board at all three of those picks

1464
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 3: that will be great pros, and you're you might have.

1465
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 3: You may not be able to recognize them. That's the problem, right,

1466
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 3: You may not know who they are yet they might.

1467
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 3: But there's fifth rounders, sixth rounders, seventh rounders in every

1468
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 3: NFL draft to turn out to be Wow, that guy's

1469
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 3: a really good player. And you're giving up three chances

1470
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 3: to get one of those guys just to get one

1471
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 3: guy who you think is probably gonna be one of

1472
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 3: those guys too, and for good reason, and maybe more

1473
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,640
Speaker 3: than that, maybe more of a sure thing. Okay, but

1474
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 3: you're giving up three other swings at the at the

1475
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 3: draft that yeah, I don't know. It's hard to get

1476
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:27,520
Speaker 3: your mind around giving up those opportunities.

1477
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 2: I will tell you, Ryan, I would agree with you

1478
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 2: on a giant move up the board. I am against it.

1479
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 2: I don't believe it's worth it. But if they got

1480
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 2: to move up three or four spots to get the

1481
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 2: guy that's sliding or in a place where they didn't

1482
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: think he would even get to on the board, I

1483
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 2: am in favor of that. Brandon Bean has done that

1484
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:51,560
Speaker 2: with remarkable success in the past, so I wouldn't be

1485
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 2: opposed to him doing a small move that gives up

1486
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 2: limited capital.

1487
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: You know, you move up three.

1488
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 2: Spots and you give up a four and a six,

1489
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 2: or maybe even just a four. I'm okay with that.

1490
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 2: That's what he did to get Kyrie Elam. He got

1491
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 2: rid of his fourth round pick, moved up two spots,

1492
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,560
Speaker 2: and look, I know Kyer Elam hasn't panned out on

1493
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 2: the field yet, but just hold on, let's see what

1494
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 2: happens this year. I'm in favor of a move like that,

1495
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 2: small move, limited capital going out the door where you

1496
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 2: have a ton of Day three capital.

1497
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Anyway, that's the kind of move that you know that

1498
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: I would be in favor of Uh.

1499
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 3: I'm there too, I listen. I just think the more

1500
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 3: picks you have, the better chance you have to get better.

1501
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 3: And whether the guy this guy is a is a

1502
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 3: wide receiver, an edge rusher or whatever, he's gonna be

1503
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 3: an extremely good player and he's gonna have some traits

1504
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 3: that are gonna be developed by this coaching staff.

1505
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: So I'm listen.

1506
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna get a wide receiver. But if

1507
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 3: they don't, it's not gonna be the end of the world.

1508
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 3: Because I have probably a little bit more faith in

1509
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 3: the guys in the room all d than most people do.

1510
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 3: For whatever reason. I still think that's their priority. But

1511
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 3: I don't think it's all or nothing with this first

1512
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 3: this twenty eighth pick. I don't think this first round

1513
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 3: is the one pick in Buffalo in the current moment

1514
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 3: of Buffalo Buffalo Bill's history that's gonna pivot the franchise.

1515
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 3: Those guys are already here, Josh is already here. You know,

1516
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 3: all these guys are you know Kincaid, Shakir Milano, John

1517
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 3: Tarren Johnson, that those guys are all in the building already.

1518
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 3: This draftic while he's gonna be he's a cherry on

1519
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 3: top of the cake. For me, it'd be great, but

1520
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 3: I don't think this guy. Yeah, I don't think the

1521
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 3: pressure on this guy is to be the franchise changing

1522
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 3: thing that's gonna put us over that little that proverbial

1523
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 3: mythical hump. I don't think that's this guy. It'd be

1524
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 3: great to get one, but I don't think that's this guy.

1525
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 3: I don't think this this pick is that guy. Because

1526
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 3: because of the quarterback, we.

1527
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 2: Have to take a break. Nothing but your phone calls, though,

1528
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 2: when we return. Bob in South Carolina will lead us off.

1529
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 2: When we come back. Here on One Bill's Live, presented

1533
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,560
Speaker 2: with you, asking you who is your pick for the

1534
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 2: Bills in round one and how do they get him?

1535
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 2: To Bob in South Carolina?

1536
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: We go next. What's up Bob?

1537
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 17: Hey, guys, thanks for taking the call. Eight o'clock. Eight

1538
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 17: o'clock can't come fast enough, right I'm in the same

1539
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 17: camp as a lot of other people to stay at

1540
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 17: twenty eight. But it may be a small trade up,

1541
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 17: but I have to wonder because how important medicals are

1542
01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 17: Well that cause maybe Thomas and Mitchell all.

1543
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it probably does it a little bit.

1544
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 17: If it does it does cause him to fall, then

1545
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 17: you may not have to give up any draft capital

1546
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 17: to make that happen. But if they're gone, I think

1547
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 17: you still got guys like le Get, you got Cooper, Dejen,

1548
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 17: you got Newton. I think well two lot two will

1549
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 17: be gone by that point in time, but I think

1550
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 17: there's a there's still a possibility at twenty eight we

1551
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 17: could get who we want.

1552
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Bob, thanks for the call.

1553
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 2: I'll say, interesting, Yeah, he's so Brian Thomas with his

1554
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 2: shoulder injury.

1555
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 1: It's not deemed as a giant deal.

1556
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 2: But I think we have to remember there are thirty

1557
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 2: two teams with thirty two different medical staffs who are

1558
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 2: all going to have differing opinions on the severity of

1559
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 2: the shoulder problem. There there might be some teams that

1560
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 2: believe he's just got to manage it, He'll be able

1561
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 2: to get through his rookie season fine. There are others

1562
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 2: that say, well, if we draft this kid, we may

1563
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 2: have to have him get cleanup surgery in his shoulder

1564
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 2: that's going to slow down his development and his availability

1565
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 2: potentially for the Star the twenty twenty four season. We're

1566
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 2: gonna knock him down a full round for that. You

1567
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 2: don't know where thirty two teams are coming down on

1568
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 2: him and the severity of the shoulder injury, but it

1569
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 2: could be enough that he does slide down into striking

1570
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 2: distance for the Bills. And if I'm Buffalo, I'm doing

1571
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 2: it because it's a it's a fortuitous situation that has

1572
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 2: fallen in your lap. And if you have to slow

1573
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 2: down his time on the field in the early going

1574
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 2: for what you're gonna get long term, I think it's

1575
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 2: worth it. The Mitchell thing's a little different because he's

1576
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 2: a Type one diabetic.

1577
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mitchell's gonna have an ongoing issue that should not

1578
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 3: be career threatening. But it's like Brownie said, it may

1579
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 3: put it, you know it, may put eight, not eighty.

1580
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 3: Mitchell may put it. You know Worthy, Xavier Worthy, Xavier

1581
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 3: leged it, may lad McConkie may put for some teams

1582
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 3: put one or two of the those are all three

1583
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 3: of them ahead of Brian Thomas Junior or ad Mitchell

1584
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 3: because of you know the medicals, so it may shuffle

1585
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 3: the order that they like them. They're still gonna like them,

1586
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 3: but they also understand there's there's an issue there, So

1587
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 3: it may do that. They're not going to drop off

1588
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 3: the face of the earth, but they may fall a

1589
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 3: couple of picks. They may Paul fall from one team

1590
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 3: who says no, when in that case, we're gonna put

1591
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,600
Speaker 3: this guy ahead of him to another team who says, now,

1592
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 3: we'll take him.

1593
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 2: And we'll have to see how that unfolds tonight. But yeah,

1594
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 2: it could be pretty fortuitous for the Bills if some

1595
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 2: teams decide they don't want to take the risk to

1596
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 2: Jerry and Tonawanda.

1597
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: Next, what do you got for us? Jerry?

1598
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 15: Hey?

1599
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 16: First off, Steve, Yes, I am retired. I have a

1600
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 16: great life and I have a lot of time on

1601
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 16: my eares, haven't haven't said that? Probably Beamed their coaching

1602
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 16: staff and myself were the only ones ever that wanted

1603
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 16: Josh Allen and we and beamed it as many and

1604
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 16: he got him, and he's going to do his magic

1605
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 16: once again. And you can put this on the waitboard.

1606
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 16: Beam is going to move up to number nineteen with

1607
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 16: the Rams and get Brian Thomas if Thomas is there,

1608
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 16: because there's rumors saying that the Chiefs they need a

1609
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 16: number one and they want Brian Thomas, and they want

1610
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 16: to move up into the Rams nineteen spot. So we

1611
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 16: got to he's got to work his magic to beat

1612
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 16: the Kansas City's GM to get that spot, and I

1613
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 16: believe Beam will sweeten it and we will get Brian

1614
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 16: Thomas at number nineteen. Put it on the waitboard.

1615
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: Let go right, all right, thanks for the call.

1616
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 2: That is a a sizable move, a little bit more

1617
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 2: than I was hoping. The Bills would have to make.

1618
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, to get to nineteen, they'll have to give up

1619
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 3: their sixtieth two. That's the kind of value you're talking about.

1620
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 3: They'd have to give up number one, number twenty eight

1621
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 3: and number sixty, and that would get him up to

1622
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 3: number more than do it seventeen. That's by the value.

1623
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 3: So the Rams would do that in a heartbeat, and

1624
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 3: maybe they throw back. Maybe they throw back giving back

1625
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 3: a six or a six, not a four. They couldn't

1626
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 3: give back a fourth because that's too much, or two.

1627
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 3: They could give maybe a six or a four or three,

1628
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 3: even a low three.

1629
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

1630
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, Maybe that's it. That's what you're talking about.

1631
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 3: You're giving up two players to get one. You'd give

1632
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 3: up twenty eight and number sixty or value like that,

1633
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 3: and you'd get your guy. Now, you could give up

1634
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 3: this year's one, and maybe the Rams take next year's

1635
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 3: two one or two one of the twos you have

1636
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 3: next year. Maybe they do that and you can get

1637
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 3: away with just trading one for one in this draft.

1638
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 3: I might think about doing that, but I don't know

1639
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 3: that the Rams would.

1640
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's like I said earlier in the show,

1641
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 2: between the teams that are receiver needy at the top

1642
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 2: of round two in San Francisco and Kansas City at

1643
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 2: thirty and thirty one, Bills are gonna have to watch

1644
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,680
Speaker 2: their back as much as they're watching what's happening in

1645
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 2: front of them on the board. To Tom and Lackawana Nex,

1646
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 2: what do you got first?

1647
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: Tom?

1648
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 18: Yeah, guys, I agree with you know, worrying about teams

1649
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 18: in the high seconds moving up so our Frisco in

1650
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 18: Kansas City. So I would say, you know, probably move

1651
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,560
Speaker 18: up to twenty two. Hopefully the Eagles they like to

1652
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,640
Speaker 18: move or want to do it. If not, then I

1653
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 18: think Dallas with having to sign redo doc and sign

1654
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 18: Lamb and Mike are looking for more picks, so I

1655
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 18: would think they'd want to move down and then Buffalo's advantages.

1656
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 18: All the people that want to jump ahead of them

1657
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 18: are below them, so they would want Buffalo's twenty eight

1658
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 18: rather than going down further. So I'm hoping, you know,

1659
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,679
Speaker 18: if Thomas is there, great, If not, I think Mitchell

1660
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 18: should still be there and they should get him at

1661
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 18: either twenty two or twenty four.

1662
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: All right, I don't mind that thinking Tom.

1663
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,560
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be harder to convince Philadelphia

1664
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 2: to move out there at twenty two only because they're

1665
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 2: looking to move up. According to all the reports, they

1666
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 2: are really desperate for a corner. There are really only

1667
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 2: three corners that are considered elite in this class. That's

1668
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 2: basically Terry and Arnold, Quinnon, Mitchell, and the third one

1669
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 2: is slipping my mind right now, but there's three that

1670
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 2: are considered top of the class.

1671
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: There are others who could go late.

1672
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 2: In round one, like kool Aid, McKinstry and maybe a

1673
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,600
Speaker 2: couple of others. But the word is Philly's looking to

1674
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 2: move up from twenty two to so to get them

1675
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 2: to move back might prove difficult. I think you can

1676
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 2: get Dallas to slide back. They want an offensive tackle,

1677
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 2: So depending on what's left on the board, Like, for example,

1678
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,879
Speaker 2: if there are still two or three defensive or offensive

1679
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 2: tackles that they like still on the board, I could

1680
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 2: see them sliding back four spots to twenty eight, knowing that.

1681
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 1: Green Well, green Bay might need one.

1682
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Green Bay, Tampa, and Arizona right now

1683
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, man, do they need tackles. You can

1684
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 2: make an argument that everybody needs an offensive tackle, but

1685
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 2: that might be tough to pry them loose too. They

1686
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:15,719
Speaker 2: might want to stay there and get the tackle.

1687
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,560
Speaker 3: I mean that we don't know who's willing and not

1688
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 3: willing to move out. If all these teams that need

1689
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 3: a tackle, you can think.

1690
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:25,440
Speaker 2: I'm telling you there's gonna be so frenzied movement.

1691
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 3: For the tackle, so many tackles available, It's just as

1692
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 3: likely that the team will move from eight or nine

1693
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 3: or seven all the way back to fifteen and still

1694
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 3: feel like they can get a guy that can play.

1695
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 2: And it's different between moving from eight to fifteen in

1696
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 2: terms of what's left on the board than from twenty

1697
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 2: two to twenty eight, they might dry up fast if.

1698
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 1: There's a sure sure that's that's true.

1699
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 2: And there is a drop off at tackles after like

1700
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 2: receivers we're talking about, you can get a decent player

1701
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 2: in round three. Tackle not so much. There's a drop

1702
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 2: off after that eighth or ninth guy maybe, but.

1703
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 3: There's not going to be eight or nine guys gone by.

1704
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:02,680
Speaker 3: They're not gonna be eight or nine offensive tackles in

1705
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 3: the first round.

1706
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Think about that.

1707
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be six maybe yet, but that's

1708
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 3: not eight or nine. That's not eight or nine plus

1709
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 3: if you get the same margin of error that they're

1710
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,560
Speaker 3: always have. Where one team has three different players in

1711
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 3: their top six tackles than that other.

1712
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: Team, they don't, they do.

1713
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 3: They got half the guys in their top tackles are

1714
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 3: different than half the guys in their other team's top

1715
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 3: top six tackles. They got three different names. So given

1716
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:30,360
Speaker 3: that you're gonna I don't. There's not gonna be nine

1717
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 3: tackles taking the first round. But there's gonna be nine

1718
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 3: tackles who are gonna be playing on NFL teams out

1719
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 3: of this class. You know what I'm saying, so you're

1720
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 3: gonna get a guy. So you might get a guy

1721
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 3: like Tennessee at seven. They may move back to fifteen

1722
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:50,879
Speaker 3: or whenever, mid mid teens and pick up another handful

1723
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 3: of picks, And certainly they'll move back if they move

1724
01:26:56,280 --> 01:27:00,639
Speaker 3: back into the twenty to twenty eight, they'll pick up guys.

1725
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 3: It'll take that many picks to get up there from

1726
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:07,839
Speaker 3: that distance. So and they'll still get a good tackle,

1727
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So that's that's a big thing.

1728
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 3: If you're taking an offensive tackle in this draft, Dude,

1729
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 3: what are you waiting on? Get out of there, get

1730
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 3: more picks, and still get a guy.

1731
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think if they really covet a guy

1732
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 2: that's still on the board right there, they might just take.

1733
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 3: Listen, there, let's face it, every team has like ten

1734
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 3: guys they covet. Yeah, I mean, it's a receiver, it's

1735
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 3: a quarterback, it's a it's an offensive tackle.

1736
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 1: It's they all have, they all do, but the Bills

1737
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 1: don't need them, you know. And then that's it.

1738
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 3: So there's there's a ton of players up there. Every

1739
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,479
Speaker 3: team covets at every position because they're really good players.

1740
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, man, if I'm taking a tackle in

1741
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 3: this draft.

1742
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm trading down, not up.

1743
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break, try to squeeze a call in

1744
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 2: when we come back here on one Bill's Live. Stay

1745
01:27:56,360 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 2: with us, all right, last segment here, I want Bills

1746
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,720
Speaker 2: Live on Draft Day. I want to remind you that

1747
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 2: Matty Glavin myself will be streaming live on the Bills

1748
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 2: social media channels as well as the YouTube channel Facebook

1749
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 2: page once the pick is in. So after the Bills

1750
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 2: make their first round pick tonight, tune into the Bill's

1751
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:31,639
Speaker 2: social channels. Maddy and I will be on breaking down

1752
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 2: the pick with Greg Cosell, and we'll have the live

1753
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 2: coverage of Brandon Bean's press conference after the pick is made.

1754
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 2: But Steve, what's gonna happen tonight with the Bills.

1755
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 3: I think the Bills are going to take a wide receiver.

1756
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 3: I think it'll be somewhere right around twenty eight. I

1757
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 3: don't think they'll be able to trade up far enough

1758
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 3: to get Brian Thomas junior.

1759
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna.

1760
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 3: Take a d Mitchell, and I think a d Mitchell

1761
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:52,679
Speaker 3: will be a Buffalo Bill this time tomorrow.

1762
01:28:53,680 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 2: I was on the Brian Thomas bandwagon early I will

1763
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 2: stay there until the end. I am hopeful that they

1764
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 2: can make a small move up the board because he

1765
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 2: is sliding. My area where I think they will land

1766
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 2: is Green Bay at twenty five, and I think that

1767
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 2: is where they will land. Brian Thomas, cross your fingers,

1768
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 2: cross your toes, and anything else you can cross if

1769
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 2: they stay put, though Steve, I'm in agreement with you.

1770
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 2: I think a d Mitchell is more likely.

1771
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: That is it for us.

1772
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 2: Enjoy the draft tonight. We'll be here to break it

1773
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 2: down tomorrow at one o'clock. We'll see you then.
