1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: At a Steve Taster who has been all over the fields,

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: the strated here of normalcy. Let's get it rolling here

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, Chris Brown, Steve Taster, one Bills Live,

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: the day before the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. We

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: will be with you one more time before the draft

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: actually starts. That's obviously tomorrow from noon to three. That

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: show can't get over fast enough. Somebody wants let's go. Yeah. Um,

10
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: we have sliced it. We have diced it, we have

11
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: juggled it. I mean, we've we've probably taken almost every

12
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: angle we possibly could to the draft at large, the

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: pick at thirty, their total draft capital, what to do

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: with late round draft choices, trading down, and the merits

15
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: of it. All of that. We've we've covered a lot

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: of ground here, positions, players inside the position. But we're

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: not done yet. We're not done yet, Steve. There there

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: is more ground to cover, and we will do that

19
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: here in short order. But first, as we usually do,

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: some NFL news and notes. First, the Bills Ike Butcker,

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: restricted free agent, sent a one year qualifying tender offer.

22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: He signed that yesterday, so he is officially in the

23
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: Fold for the twenty twenty one season and will presumably

24
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: become an unrestricted free agent next year. Then there is

25
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley, who is already one of the most intriguing

26
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: prospects in the draft because on talent alone, many consider

27
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: him to be a top ten draft selection. However, two

28
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: back surgeries, including one in January, along with a ACL

29
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: injury his freshman year in college, has people wondering about

30
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: the risk here. Back is a serious thing. And I

31
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: know it was largely just a dyssectomy where they kind

32
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: of shaved down one of his discs that was displaced

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: or herniated or something to that effect, but it was

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: so bad it was giving him sciatica. You don't often

35
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: hear about twenty one or twenty two year olds dealing

36
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: with sciatica unless they have a messed up spine and

37
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, some affliction, whether it's you know, bad scoliosis.

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: One of the things. Yeah, but one of the things

39
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: about and I'm not I'm not I'm not gonna get

40
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: deep into the weeds in this, but one of the

41
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: things about it, a lot of people have suffered from

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: sciatica for a myriad of different reasons, which gives the

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: medical industry a really good idea of what this is

44
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: going to be long term, even at a twenty one

45
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: year old. So if they got their hands on him

46
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: and got the medical report and got a doctor to

47
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: look at this case, they will know pretty well, in

48
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: my estimation, that what Caleb Farley's long term prognosis is.

49
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, What kind of can he

50
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: be a pro athlete? Can it be that active? Can

51
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: he train hard? Can he play hard? Can he practice hard?

52
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: They'll know they'll have an idea about that after having

53
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: done an exam of him. If that's the run, Yeah,

54
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: if the teams had the opportunity to do that was

55
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: the exam at the combine in Indianapolis April, medical rechecks

56
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: sufficient enough to satisfy doctors on respective teams, That's an

57
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: answer we don't have. But where he falls in the

58
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: draft may provide a clue as to how many teams

59
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: didn't get enough information or feel good enough about the

60
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: medical information to believe he's worthy of a first round

61
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: pick despite all that talent. And now there's this Steve.

62
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: He announces on Twitter in a video message, doesn't say

63
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: it flat out that he has COVID, but says he

64
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: feels fine and he's asymptomatic, which at least not clies

65
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: at least implies that he has tested positive for COVID

66
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: and will not be attending the draft in Cleveland because

67
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of it. So it's hard not to feel bad for

68
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: the kid because last year he opted out of the

69
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season because he was concerned about contracting the

70
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: COVID virus and basically said, hey, look, I lost my

71
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: mom to an untimely passing. The last thing I want

72
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: to do is get the COVID virus, give it to

73
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: my dad, and then I lose another parent. Totally understandable

74
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: the decision that he made, but here we are. He's

75
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: not even playing football right now, he's just training and

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: he's contracted COVID. So it's just it's a crazy turn

77
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: of events for a player that was trying to be

78
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: active in protecting himself from contracting the virus, and now

79
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: here the week of the draft today he's he announces

80
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: that he's that he's asymptomatic but has tested positive. So crazy,

81
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. If you're a team who somehow, some way

82
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: has access or has had access or has got information

83
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: that that you deemed credible that gives you a really

84
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: good handle on this guy's future and his futures should

85
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: be unscathed by these back surgeries. If if he got

86
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: a clean bill of health from your doctors, and I said, nah,

87
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: now this guy's gonna be fine. He's this is all

88
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: this is all you know, minor stuff. He's gonna be fine.

89
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: If you got that, if you got that news information

90
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: and nobody else did, you could and he starts to

91
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: drop down the border, you can you get a steal

92
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: of a draft pick. Is what this is all about.

93
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: If one team out there knows that this guy's gonna

94
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent for the rest of his for

95
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: the rest of his football career, at least for the

96
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: next decade and a half, He's not gonna have any symptoms.

97
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: He's fine. If they had any inkling that that was

98
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: probably the case, that this all this back stuff was

99
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: behind him. He got he jumps into the top ten,

100
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: top fifteen for sure. Yeah. And if you're a team

101
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: like Buffalo sitting at thirty and you've got that information,

102
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: what do you do except sit there and wait, sit tight,

103
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: and you know somebody, somebody might get a player that's

104
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: really good. I've said, I told you the story from

105
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: decades ago when Keith Buyers came out of Ohio State,

106
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: he had a busted foot. Nobody wanted that guy. They thought,

107
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: oh my guys, he's bert broke. Philly takes him. Let's

108
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: his foot heel and the guys played for fourteen years,

109
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: played forever and was one of the great all time

110
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: pass catching running backs of all time. Frank Gore is

111
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: still playing. Had two acl in college exactly. So they

112
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: went in the third round. That's what that's why. And

113
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna be a Hall of Famer. So that

114
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: kind of stuff happens, and that's why it's really intriguing.

115
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: With an extra lay, extra degree of difficulty on this

116
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: with COVID, you didn't see the guy play for sixteen months.

117
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: Then then he opts he opts out, So how about

118
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: that and hes surgery. Whoever drafts him, he can't even

119
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: go see his team after he gets drafted. He's still

120
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: gonna be in quarantine. He's gonna be in quarantine for

121
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: other ten days after the draft, gonna be another zoom

122
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: call after he's drafted, so they had draft him and

123
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: they still can't get their doctors on him. No, think

124
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: about that. That's a crusher for him. And you listen,

125
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: if he's a if he's that kind of guy and

126
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: that kind of player, and he can go one hundred

127
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: percent and have a full long career, you know whatever,

128
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: the ten year career. This is all a wash because

129
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: but it's it is gonna make him wait to get

130
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: that contract they all want, you know what I mean,

131
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a third round Although you think about it,

132
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: if he's a third rounder, he could sign a three

133
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: year deal, or a two year deal, or a four

134
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: year deal. He's not going to sign a five year right,

135
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: So in that case, if he comes out, he doesn't

136
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: have to play as well as long to get that

137
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: second contract. That's a pretty good spot to be in

138
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: there is well, there has been talk about how the

139
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: Patriots are interested in moving into the top ten to

140
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: potentially select a quarterback. We talked about it on the

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: show yesterday, how quarterback they got to come out of

142
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: the draft with a quarterback that's our top five. Yeah,

143
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: that's what we think, at the very least. If not

144
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: and we had Tony Pauline on yesterday, and he said

145
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: the possibility exists that if they miss out in the

146
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 1: top ten, that New England will trade back to the

147
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: bottom of the round and take someone like Stanford's Davis Mills.

148
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: That's what he's hearing because the bill, the Patriots don't

149
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of draft capital at the top half

150
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: of the draft. They have picked fifteen and forty six,

151
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: so making that move into the top ten is going

152
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: to prove costly, and the general thinking is they may

153
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: have to part with their first round pick next year

154
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: as well to move up from fifteen into an area

155
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: where you can get the fourth quarterback off the poort,

156
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: assuming of course that Atlanta, Cincinnati, and the Dolphins all

157
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: pass on a QB after the first three come off.

158
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: So now you're talking Detroit at seven, Carolina at eight,

159
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Denver at nine, and Denver might be in the market

160
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: for one of those quarterbacks as well. So what do

161
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: they have to give up? Probably a one next year.

162
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: But there's also the possibility, and we've mentioned this, that

163
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour could be part of a trade. He's in

164
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: the last year of his contract that just seven and

165
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: a half million dollars per season. Now, I don't see

166
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: a team like Detroit being interested in that kind of player.

167
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Could see Carolina maybe being interested in somebody like that,

168
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, South Carolina product home kind of thing, that

169
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: whole you know, sell it to the public, beeswax, whatever

170
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: you want to call it. Maybe that happens Denver needs

171
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: corner help, But I think Denver would look at moving

172
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: up and trying to stay ahead of the Patriots to

173
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: make sure they get the fourth quarterback off the board.

174
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: I really see the Patriots in Denver in a head

175
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: to head competition to see who gets the fourth quarterback

176
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: among the teams we think could move up the board.

177
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: But think about that. If the Patriots get their quarterback,

178
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: it maybe at the expense of not having Stefan Gilmore.

179
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: But personally, I don't think Stefan Gilmore is going to

180
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: get an extension from the Patriots anytime soon after you

181
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: got that monster contract a few years ago. So if

182
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: you're not going to extend him anyway, use him as

183
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: as a piece to acquire your quarterback in the future,

184
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: hopefully for the next ten or twelve years. Right. That's yeah,

185
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot in there. But what you're what you're

186
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: looking as these teams are getting into a spot where

187
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: as as much as much uncertainty as there is ahead

188
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: of these teams in the draft and who's gonna take who,

189
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: and particularly you know, a team like Buffalo, even a

190
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: team like New England at fifteen, they're not you know,

191
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: they know exactly who's gonna be there. But the word

192
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: is getting out now that if the New England Patriots,

193
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: it if all these quarterbacks are taken five in the

194
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: top ten, as it may be, and New England can't

195
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: get into the top ten to get one, they'll be

196
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: satisfied with somebody like like a Kyle Trask or a

197
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. Kyle Trask from Florida who played extremely well

198
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: this year, played had a really had a bunch of

199
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: really big time throws for Florida. He's a pocket passer.

200
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: New England knows what it's like to have one of

201
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: those guys. Or they'll be happy to take a guy

202
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: like Davis Mills, who from Stanford, who's you know, he's

203
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 1: six four two, earned twenty, he was a he's a

204
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: kid that was a five star recruit. He's got that

205
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: kind of pedigree going for him. There's some guys out

206
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: there that the Patriots could. But if they do, then

207
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: you get into this and Kellen Mond from a Texas

208
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: A and M All. There's a list of quarterbacks behind

209
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: the ones we all know, starting with Kyle Trask, Davis Mills,

210
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: Kellen Mond, Jamie Newman, Shane Bushell, all these guys. You

211
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: go further and further down the list. Here's the question, Brownie,

212
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots are going to have to take one of

213
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: those guys, probably a little higher than they're projected. Well,

214
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: if they miss in round one, absolutely, because you can't

215
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: miss again. Yeah, do you miss in round what do

216
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: you do? You just go ahead and take your well,

217
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: take your boy Kyle Trask in the first round. No, no, no, no, no,

218
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: you don't do that. But I think you better make

219
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: sure you're in a position in round two where you

220
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: know you're going to get the guy that you want.

221
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: And you know, the further down the board you go,

222
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: the greater at risk you are of not getting that guy.

223
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: There are some who believe that Trask is a mid

224
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: to low second. There are some that thinks he'll go

225
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: in the top half of the second round. There's some

226
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: people that think he might not go until the third round.

227
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: It's all about what you want and what you think

228
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: and how you feel he fits what you do offensively,

229
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: so you know where does that go? It's anybody's guess.

230
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Which is the beauty of the draft. And then there's

231
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: this pick number three is still up for major debate

232
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: from the national reporters that cover the league. Adam Schefter

233
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: basically confirmed what Ian Rappaport reported earlier in the week

234
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: that as late as last weekend, the forty nine ers

235
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: had not decided on who definitively was going to be

236
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: their quarterback at pick three. And the reports now are

237
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: that the distance between mac Jones and Trey Lance has

238
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: narrowed considerably. And you know where you and I have

239
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: stood on this all along. You don't give up two

240
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: future first round picks and your twelve pick, your pick

241
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: at twelve overall to move up nine spots to three

242
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: to take a guy that's got a high floor and

243
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: can help you win now, but maybe is what he

244
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: is already? You do it for the elite physical traits

245
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: with virtually no ceiling, or do yeah, yes, that's right.

246
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Are you trading all those assets for a guy who

247
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: may not stink but he'll never be that great Andy Dalton?

248
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Are you giving up a couple of firsts for that? Yeah?

249
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: And Andy Dalton was the second round pick by the way, right,

250
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: Well there you go. Think about it, and so all

251
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: of that's in there, and I or are they in

252
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: this spot because Kyle Shanahan said, I need somebody other

253
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: than the guy we got. Let's jump up to three

254
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: and I'll pick one of these guys because next year

255
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: and next year the draft class is gonna stink. We

256
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: already know that at quarterback, at quarter it's gonna be

257
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: great everywhere else. So we've got to We've got to

258
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: get one this year. There's five or six of them

259
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: coming out. I'm gonna we'll pick the best one, but

260
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: we got to get to They probably checked out the

261
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: Jets see if the Jets would trade doubt. Jets had

262
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: no interest, and then they traded Sam Darnold out, but

263
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: then it was an impossibility. So they go to three

264
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: and is this all happening? Because Kyle Shanahan has that

265
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: much sway in that organizations. I need my guy. Let

266
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: me pick my guy. And that's why they're picking a

267
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: guy Mac Jones, who Kyle Shanahan may love, but everybody

268
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: else can see clearly that he's not the guy or

269
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: feel like they do. There. You can't have twenty voices

270
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: in that room all agreeing with mac Jones. No, there's

271
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: just no way. So who's got the hammer in San Francisco.

272
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: It's got to be Kyle Shanahan, Shanahan or Lynch one

273
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: or the other. Yeah, it's the fact that it's not

274
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: decided is just very very interesting to me. I mean,

275
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: they have done all the due diligence you possibly can,

276
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: all the hay is in the barn, and the fact

277
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: that as late as last weekend they hadn't come down

278
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: on who it definitively will be means there is there

279
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: is disagreement in the room to the point where they

280
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: haven't finalized the decision. It's it's going to be interesting

281
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. They say they're not finalized. I think the

282
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: reason they're not finalized is because they're still trying to

283
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: convince Kyle Shanahan to do something different than he's thinking

284
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: about doing. Here's another interesting note concerning the draft, and

285
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: I think it speaks to the medical uncertainties that are

286
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: out there among several prospects, including first rounders. We mentioned

287
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley already. His college teammate is another example of

288
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: this offensive tackle prospect. Christian Dara Saw is expected to

289
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: be fully healed. Did get a thumbs up at the

290
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: Combine Medical April re check earlier this month. It was

291
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: learned recently. Presumably most teams knew this beforehand, but maybe

292
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: not quietly. Had surgery to repair a core muscle injury

293
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: in January. Now, he did his position drills at Pro Day,

294
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: but didn't run do all of the other testing because

295
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: of that. And so this is an example of some

296
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: of the medical that's missing for some players. It's like,

297
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: whoa guy had core muscle surgery in January. Yeah, he

298
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: played all at twenty twenty with a groin injury. Holy cow?

299
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: What really? Maybe I should go look at, you know,

300
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: his twenty nineteen tape and see if he was better,

301
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: If he was presumably healthier and he was last year.

302
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: How much did that hobble him? So now it forces

303
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: your scouting department perhaps to go back and look again,

304
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: you know. So these are the extra this is the

305
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: extra work that's involved when some of this medical stuff

306
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: isn't all out there in front of you, and it

307
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: wasn't in February. I mean, this guy had core muscle

308
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: surgery in January. Did his agents inform thirty two NFL

309
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: teams that this was going on? Maybe they did, but

310
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: my guess is they probably did not, and then there

311
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a combine for it to be discovered with full

312
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: medical exams, and so probably a lot of NFL clubs

313
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: didn't find out about this until maybe a couple of

314
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago at his pro day. Yeah, so that's part

315
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: of the missing pieces. They've got a lot of that

316
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: exists in this draft. It's like everything. There's a lot

317
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: of ways to look at it. Are you mad because

318
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: the kid kept it a secret? If he did, are

319
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: you upset that he's got this injury that you know,

320
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: Let's face it, Cole Beasley had that done. Yes, he

321
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: did right most of the spring and first first week

322
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: of training and had his best season ever. Well that

323
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: was two years ago. He had that's best football ahead

324
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: of it, right, So how much are you going to

325
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: get caught up in the fact that these guys have

326
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: been every single guy plays in the league and plays

327
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: a major college football, they're gonna come up with a

328
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: pull hamstring or a busted finger or torn rotator cup,

329
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: whatever I can go down, go down my own menu.

330
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: But how many of these injuries that we're talking about

331
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: are long term? And what do they learn from those injuries?

332
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: And how the guy bounced back, what do people say

333
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: about him? And that's as much about this story of

334
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: these injuries as anything. You know, this guy Derekshaw, if

335
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: if he's trying to keep this secret, or if he

336
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: wasn't forthcoming, or if he had something to hide, how

337
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: he had they handled it, how they handled this tells

338
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: you a lot about the kind of guy you're getting

339
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: and tells you something about their DNA. Did he tell

340
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: his agent said, no, be honest with these guys. I

341
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: don't want them, I don't want to go in like that.

342
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: Or is he saying no, let's get away with it

343
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: because it may mean more money for us, or may

344
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: hire draft pick. That tells you something about the guy.

345
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: So that's that's how many different ways there are to

346
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: look at each one of these guys with a medical

347
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: and each one of these guys with COVID, and each

348
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: one of these guys who didn't run at their combine

349
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: or did run at their combine, who their representation is

350
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: how they're representing, how they're being represented by those guys,

351
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: and you're trying to sift through all of that and

352
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: find somebody with the with the right DNA that is

353
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: perfectly willing to cover kicks. I mean, goodness, gracious, it's

354
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: a it's a mess when you when you look at

355
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: it all like that. But that's what the that's what

356
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: they sort through. That's what their job is. It is.

357
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: It's just a much tougher job this year because of

358
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: all the holes that have had to be filled in

359
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: due to their extra work, not the work that's often

360
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: handed to them, because of the event that is the

361
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: NFL combine. We got off on this when we started

362
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: talking about these guys with injuries and and jumping up

363
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: into the first round to get a quarterback. We're talking

364
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: about the Patriots, and I the Patriots have a bunch

365
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: of draft picks, three six. They got ten draft picks

366
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: this year. They've got they have three fourth round picks,

367
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: which is the interesting part. Yeah, they've got fifteen, number

368
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: forty six, number ninety six. If they're gonna get one

369
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks, they got to get it like with

370
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: forty six or ninety six one of those. These other

371
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: got the other quarterbacks. They got one twenty and one

372
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, and one thirty nine. Those are all in

373
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: round four, that's right. Those are the four round fourth

374
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: round picks. One in round five, two and round six,

375
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: one seventy seven, one eighty eight as well, and one

376
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: ninety seven as well. Those are at the bottom of

377
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: six and two forty two. And then they got the

378
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: two forty two, which is almost mister irrelevant, correct, But

379
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: they got a lot of draft picks that they can

380
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: move around and bundle up if they really want to

381
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: jump up a couple of spots at from fifteen to

382
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve. I don't think those picks at the

383
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: end of the draft they're gonna give them anything. No,

384
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: but those three fours would The three fours could help.

385
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: They certainly could help. I think teams are gonna be

386
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: asking for future draft capital. People want twenty two picks

387
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be one of the deepest drafts ever

388
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: after a lot of kids went back to school this

389
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: year and thinned out this year's draft pool. Nobody's gonna

390
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: want their pick at one seventy seven or one eighty

391
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: eight and be like you can have them, Man, I

392
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: don't want those, Give me your one next year and

393
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: then I'll give you my pick at seven. I mean,

394
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: if Detroit you drive a hard bargain, I mean they

395
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: really should um next year should try to free And

396
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: people are on both sides of it. They don't want

397
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: to give them up. Yeah, they don't want to give

398
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: them up unless there's some But unless you're you've got

399
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: a pretty good package, they're not gonna give up next

400
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: year's draft picks. Unlike most years, most years, how desperate

401
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: are you, how bad do you need the quarterback? That's

402
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: just it? Next year's draft picks are usually devalued in

403
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: these in these transactions, because what happens if this team

404
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: gets it and they win three extra games and now

405
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: they're instead of they're picking they're picking twelve this year

406
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: and they're picking twenty seven next year or twenty six

407
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: next year. You don't want that pick. You know that's

408
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: a bad trade. Then, So I think next year those

409
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: draft picks, people know they're way more valuable on average

410
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: next year because of the size of the draft pool

411
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: than they have ever been. So I think those next

412
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: year's draft picks don't get devalued like they do like

413
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: other teams, because they're devalued for a number of reasons.

414
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: One is the GM may not be around to make

415
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: the pick, and the head coach may not be around

416
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: to say what kind of guy wants. They may be

417
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: building from the ground up with other other people. Why

418
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: am I trading for somebody else to make these picks

419
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: if we don't win, now, I'm in deep trouble. There's

420
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: always a handful, at least a handful of teams like

421
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: that who say, listen to my owners breathing down my neck,

422
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: I need to I gotta get a guy. So they

423
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: don't want to trade those picks for picks next year.

424
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: They want something now that's gonna help him now. So

425
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: there's that along with the fact that, like I said,

426
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know what those picks are gonna look

427
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: like next year. But with an an expanded pool next year,

428
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: they're going to be more valuable than the ones you

429
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: got this year, much more so, and the bigger cap

430
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: and less there's gonna be less you know, free agent

431
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: market next year because of you know, everybody got kicked

432
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: to the curb this year. It was a huge pool

433
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: of players to pick from this year, so it's everything's

434
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna be constricted next year in free agency, so the

435
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: draft is going to be even more important, let alone

436
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: with the bigger pool of players. We saw that the

437
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals decided not to give center Billy Price a

438
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: fifth year option. They did not pick that up, or

439
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: at least they're deciding not to. Cleveland went the other way.

440
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: They picked up the fifth year option on both Baker

441
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: Mayfield and Denzel Ward, their two top five selections from

442
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen draft. But with Baker Mayfield the cost

443
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: is less than it would be for the Bills and

444
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Baker Mayfield never made a Pro Bowl in

445
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: his first three seasons, so it doesn't balloon his number

446
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: up to the equivalent of the transition and tag, which

447
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: is upwards of twenty five million dollars twenty three to

448
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars, as it would be for Josh Allen. Instead,

449
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: it's only eighteen million. I say only eighteen million dollars

450
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield. But that's an affordable price for a

451
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: quarterback entering his fifth year that made the playoffs last season.

452
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: We know that Brandon Bean has said it's not ideal

453
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: that's his word to pick up fifth year options for

454
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: Allan and Edmonds without extensions, because it's a thirty five

455
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: dollar commitment for those two players, million dollars and we

456
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: still don't know, we still don't know how much the

457
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: cap is going to go up next year. And that's

458
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: where Brandon Bean's between a rock and a hard place.

459
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: If he had at least a good working estimate on

460
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: where the cap was going to be, well, now, you

461
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: can make plans with numbers like that, or make plans

462
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: on what an extension needs to look like. But those

463
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: that's behind a hazy you know, there's a lot of

464
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: factors trying to find a number behind a shower curtain,

465
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: like you can't see it clearly, it's not clear. You

466
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: don't even have a good estimate, you can't. Brandon Being's

467
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: really in a tough spot. I mean, it's a good

468
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: problem because you have two good players who are deemed

469
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: to be cornerstone players that you want to keep on

470
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: the roster long term. But this fifty year option can't

471
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: even be a placeholder right now in place of an

472
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: extension because they're a lot of money. Also, I wonder

473
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: if they're going to do it they might just sit

474
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: tight and say, let's just play out the year and

475
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: let's find out what is done, and when we find

476
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: out what the CAP's gonna be, we'll get to work.

477
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: Right when we find out what the CAP's gonna be,

478
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be presto chango, here we go. The problem

479
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: is if they signed Josh this huge contract and all

480
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's fifty percent of your cap or

481
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: something like that, you know, I mean, you've got it.

482
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean that cripples a cripple shit, and and Josh's

483
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna get a big number. Josh knows it, the Bills

484
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: know it, and there's no reason he's hiding north of forty.

485
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: They get it. I mean, that's the way. That's the

486
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: cost of doing business, particularly with the guy like of

487
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Josh's caliber and what he has done. You know. So

488
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: there's only like, what two guys in the league who

489
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: can even get into the conversation with Josh, and that's

490
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, who came in that early had

491
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: even more success than Josh Quicker but Josh. Maybe Dak

492
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: Prescott because he had early success too, But Dak, but

493
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: he's already got his money right, Dak came in, went

494
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: twelve and four, and then it's been downhill ever since.

495
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: Right now, his numbers not so much his fault though,

496
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: right their defense is at Swiss cheese. Nevertheless, Lamar Jackson,

497
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't MVP two years in a row. He was

498
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: MVP two years ago. Now he wasn't last year. Yeah,

499
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: so you're talking more trajectory right now, exactly career trajectory.

500
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: I get it. And maybe maybe it makes sense for

501
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: the Bills let him play this year. Maybe he has

502
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: a sideways year at least leveling off here. Maybe maybe

503
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: his numbers go down, maybe the team doesn't win thirteen games,

504
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: went with seventeen game schedule. Whatever the question is. You know,

505
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: you're looking at a guy who's not gonna get cheaper,

506
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: and he's in a small group of people who are

507
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: going to really skew the cap for your team. Yeah,

508
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: and they don't. They don't know what they're what the

509
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: CAP's gonna be, and that's where they're at. They got

510
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: to find out. I mean, I'm not pretending that I

511
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: know anything, because I don't on this specific subject, but

512
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: I gotta believe if you've you know, I know, he said,

513
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: we'll kind of we'll deal with that after the draft.

514
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: But you see all these teams, they've made their decisions,

515
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: they know what their financials commitments would have to be,

516
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: and they've either said yes or they've said no. And

517
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: knowing Brandon said it's not ideal, I don't know if

518
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: he wants to put the organization in that position. You

519
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like, what's best for the team.

520
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: Is it best for the team to pick up both

521
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: fifty year options and have a guaranteed thirty five million

522
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: for these two guys? I don't know that it is is, yeah,

523
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: what you have if you pick up that option. That

524
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't the player can't agree to a

525
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: new deal. Yeah, but you'd have to do that before

526
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: the fifth year kicks in, which means after this year

527
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: and before the fifth year. So they could give him

528
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: the twenty three million, guarantee him more than the twenty

529
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: three million, but not have to pay for another two

530
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: or three years if Josh agrees to that contract. I

531
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: got to look up the language, because once you pick

532
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: up the option, the money is guaranteed. But I wonder

533
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: if it can be superseded by an extension where you

534
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: tear up the fifth year. I want to say, I

535
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: gotta read on that. I think he probably Yes, I

536
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: think that's the case. You can, because if you can

537
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: do that, then I get it. But the thing here

538
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: is that counts against your cap for twenty twenty two.

539
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: And so if you're trying to sign free agents next

540
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: year in the off season and you've got those financial

541
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: commitments already on your books, now, you can't do anything

542
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: right until you get those extensions done. Right, those would

543
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: have be first on your play. They'd have to be

544
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: before you get to March and the new league's right.

545
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: So that's what you're saying is he could play this

546
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 1: season under the current pick up the option, play this season,

547
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: all right, no, no problem. But when when the season's

548
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: over and the next year league year starts, Josh Allen's

549
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: guaranteed twenty three million dollars, no matter what. And that's

550
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: the that comes right off the top of your cap.

551
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: And Tremaine Edmonds is thirteen million. Yeah, right off the

552
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: top of your cap. And nobody knows exactly what this

553
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: CAP's gonna be. And I'm telling you this, it's not

554
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: gonna just go back to where it was plus whatever

555
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: they lost. They're hoping it gets back to where it

556
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: was last year, best best case scenario, right, They're not

557
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: trying to They're not thinking it's gonna get to two

558
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: twelve like they thought it was going to be this year.

559
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: They're hoping it gets back to one ninety eight. That's

560
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: and they do. And they have suppressed it in years

561
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: pat They don't want it to go up and down

562
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: by big, wide, wide reaching margin. The unions signs off

563
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: on that as well a little bit. They they make

564
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: sure it doesn't go huge sways one way or the other.

565
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: They had no choice this year. But when it goes up,

566
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: it goes up. You know. They kind of agree that

567
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: they don't want to want to want it to explode

568
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: from year to year. We have to take a break

569
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: and step aside here. But when we come back, we

570

00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: all night and watching the Bills trade out. Ce AFC

587
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: East teams highlight round one with moves to possibly close

588
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,560

00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: we want to know from you, open phone lines eight

590
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one eight eight five fifty two,

591
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: five fifty. I'm concerned, Steve, that there's gonna be run

592
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: on corners that takes that away as an option for

593
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: the Bills is at thirty. That's what I'm concerned about. Yeah,

594
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: the thing is this, we you and I have spoken

595
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: at Land everybody. It's balanced. It's a good poll and

596
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: a great poll. Biggest concerned twenty seven percent saying an

597
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: immediate impact player, thirty percent saying staying all night and

598
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: watching them trade out, and thirty five percent the other

599
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: teams in the division. Yes, uh, that's who I watch

600
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: as well, because the Jets and the Dolphins have got

601
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: a ton of picks in this draft, and the Patriots

602
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: have got ten picks, and they've got those mid round

603
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: picks that they can bundle and move up, and they've

604
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: also picking fifteen. It's I'm I'm watching their drafts as

605
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: as intently as I'm watching the Bills drafts. Yes, particularly

606
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: since we're picking thirtieth. Um, but I me, I think, yeah,

607
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: there may be a run on corners, but I don't

608
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a run on corners and edge

609
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: rushers and offensive line. Yeah. I want to believe that too,

610
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: And I'm of the belief that what's going to trickle

611
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: down to the Bills at thirty are edge rushers. I

612
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: think people are gonna grab some of those top tackles early.

613
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: It's not a huge group of tackles, so after two

614
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: or three, you know what am I doing? And then

615
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: the corners. We've talked about this on the show. There's

616
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: like five that are considered to be players worthy of

617
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: first round grades. Caleb Farley's your wild card. You know

618
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: your sixth guy. Is he in the first round? Is

619
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: he not? It's based on risk versus reward. I'll say

620
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: this as well, for the conversation we've had the last

621
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: couple of days about Travis at N, I think you're

622
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna have your pick between Travis at n, Naji Harris

623
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: and Dumont. What's it, Williams, Javonte Williams. You're gonna have

624
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: your pick because the Pittsburgh Steelers they've lost. They lost

625
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: Dick Castro, they're taken off. They lost Pouncy their center,

626
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: and they lost a Villaneueva their left tackle. They their

627
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: offensive lines decimated. Plus it wasn't that good last year.

628
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: Because they're draft, they may draft three offensive they're not

629
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: gonna draft or running back. They're gonna wait until the

630
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: second or third round to do that or later or later.

631
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: Any running back he wants gonna be there, don't do it.

632
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: That tells you all you need to know. So I

633
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: it's those positions. For me. It's corner, it's edge, and

634
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: it's offensive line. So maybe your biggest concern is that

635
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: the Bills draft a running back in round one. Well, no,

636
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: my biggest concern I don't from my point perspect I

637
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: was thinking about this driving in today. I've been talking,

638
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, we've been talking. I don't care who they draft.

639
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't care if they draft a kicker. I'm because

640
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: they know stuff I don't. Well, right and that, and

641
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: that's what I said on the radio this morning. I

642
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: was on with Howard and Jeremy. They got a plan

643
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: and I said, look, Brandon, Beans are in the benefit

644
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: of the doubt from anyone who is a Bills fans

645
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: or follows or covers this team is track record proves that. Okay,

646
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: So if what they have done with their due diligence

647
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: as running back is the best thing for this team

648
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: right now based on the value of the board and

649
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: what we have on this player, well then good. I'm

650
00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: on board. Personally, I want a corner That's why. That's

651
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: why I'm worried about the corner run. But that's just

652
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: my personal preference and I don't I don't know half

653
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: of what the Bills personnel department knows. I don't need

654
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be happy with whoever they are because I

655
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: know the guy's gonna be able to play, and I'm

656
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: and you and I have sitting here and choot, it's

657
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: either gonna be O line, edge or corner depending on

658
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: who's available. There's gonna be a really good player at

659
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: one of those positions available, and the Bills can pick him.

660
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: I think if there's a chance that they'd trade up

661
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: for anything, it's gonna be trading from sixty one up

662
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: to someplace in the fifties to get a running back,

663
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: and they'll probably get one of the same two or

664
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: three we're talking about, because I think those guys are

665
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna be there. Yeah, I'm still looking for other stuff

666
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: me too. I mean, I don't I like Devin Singletary.

667
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Tyler Dunn on today. He did a

668
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: great article on Devin's Singletary. In the third hour of

669
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: the show, he's coming on. He's gonna talk about the

670
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: conversation he had with Devin Singletary, and that'll get you

671
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: fired up for what he brings back. Um, you know,

672
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: he's We talked a lot about how these guys developed,

673
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen being the poster boy for the third year,

674
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: blossoming of a talent. We got a couple of guys

675
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: like that on this offense that are coming into that

676
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: it's and most notably it's Dawson Knox and Devin Singletary,

677
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: two guys that have been steady contributors throughout their first

678
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: two years in the league. Dawson Knox was a starter

679
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning, kind of by default because of injuries

680
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: and now that he couldn't be able to have been

681
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: able to get him off the field, and I think

682
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: he's going to take a huge step forward this year.

683
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: And I think Devin Singletary, if you read this Tyler

684
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: Dunn article, Devin Singletary is obsessed with coming back and

685
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: being a different kind of player this year. So all

686
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: that stuff is in the mix, and it's and it

687
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: puts you in a different frame of mind when you

688
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 1: go up here and start picking new guys in this draft.

689
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones at eight oh three, oh five,

690
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty open

691
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: line for you there. But we lead off today with

692
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: Mike and West Seneca. Mike, what do you have for us?

693
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Life. Yeah, I guys love the show.

694
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. Thirty five hours still the Bills pick problems,

695
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: but it's count right. I might be the only one

696
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: in town that I'm a little bit obsessed with what

697
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots are doing too, because I have a little

698
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: bit of a worry. But I've heard that they've already

699
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: consummated the groundwork for moving up to number eight Carolina, right.

700
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: I think what they're missing though, and I think everybody's

701
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: miss I haven't heard anybody talk about it. I think

702
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: Detroit's gonna pull the trigger out a quarterback too. I

703
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: see them taking Justin Fields or or Trey Lance because

704
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: they're they're certainly not settled on on golf. I mean,

705
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: they didn't even want calf really. They took him because

706
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: they had to eat the contract, right. And the new coach, Campbell, right,

707
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna want to get his own guy in there. Um,

708
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: nobody's picking Detroit to take a quarterback, and I think

709
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: they could eat into the Patriots. I don't know. I certainly,

710
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you can rule it out. I did

711
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: see a report, I want to say, two days ago

712
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: that said Detroit has not ruled out the possibility of

713
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback at seven. But the general consensus up

714
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: that way is that they will take a receiver there

715
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: at seven, provided Wattle or Smith or Chase. Chase probably

716
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: won't be on the board anymore. But Wattle, Smith or Chase,

717
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: if one of those guys are on the board, one

718
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: of the Alabama receivers, yeah, or Jamar Chase from LU,

719
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: they would take one of those players. Let's remember they

720
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: lost not only Kenny Galladay their top receiver. I believe

721
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: they also lost Marvin Jones in free agency, so they've

722
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: got a dearth of talent at the wide receiver position.

723
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: They really need to reinvigorate that group. And if you

724
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: can get one of the top three guys in the class,

725
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: or at least the perceived top three guys in the class,

726
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: you go ahead and do it. So that's that's what

727
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: I think is on the table for you know, the

728
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: Lions to decide there, Mike. But as we've seen all

729
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: too often, the Lions make the wrong pick, not the

730
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: right pick, and it ends up costing them. And it's

731
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna Here's thing. The new GM for the Lions knows

732
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: Jared Goff inside and out because he worked for the

733
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: Rams before he got the job as GM of the Lions,

734
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: so he knows what his limitations are. He knows what

735
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: his ceiling is, and so if he believes they can

736
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: do better with one of these quarterback prospects, I don't

737
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: think Brad Holmes rules it out. As new GM of

738
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: the Lions. I'd be a good way to make a

739
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: splash early high your draft justin fields seven. That's a

740
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: guy that Dan Campbell can get behind. Fields is as

741
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: tough as they come. Playing with broken ribs in the

742
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: College Football playoff, and that's a Dan Campbell kind of guy.

743
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'd bite your knee cap off,

744
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: but he plays with broken ribs. I'll say this about

745
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions of what I said about the New

746
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: York Jets, and the Jets already have messed it up

747
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Yeah, you got Jared Goff. He's taken

748
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: the Rams to the super Bowl, but he's you know,

749
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: he's the shine has worn off him a little bit.

750
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: He's got limitations and all that stuff. Yes, you take

751
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: a quarterback because you're that high in the draft and

752
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: you've got to have that guy. Give yourself every chance

753
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: to find that guy. The number eight pick in the

754
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: draft at a wide receiver is not gonna make anywhere

755
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: near the difference if you get the guy at quarterback

756
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: with the eighth pick of that draft, even if he

757
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: has to wait a year behind Jared Goff. The reason

758
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: they made the deal with the Rams. Yes they got

759
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, but they also got like four picks, a

760
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: first rounder, a couple of secons. They got a whole

761
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: bundle of picks with that, and they took They took

762
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: the contract. Find that guy. Nobody knows that, like the

763
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: Bills fans here in Western New York. Not until you

764
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: get that guy, you got nothing. And the Jets traded

765
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: away a guy who a lot of people still think

766
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: had some tread left on the tire and Sam Darley's

767
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: twenty three and the Jets kicked him to the curb.

768
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do If he goes down and

769
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: takes Caroline to the to the playoffs, which had confense

770
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: with Joe Brady, he'll be pretty good. I mean, they

771
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: took him, and they're making Teddy Water expendable. Who's another

772
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: guy that could be traded? Sometime this weekend. There's talk

773
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 1: that Denver and Carolina have had discussions about a Bridgewater trade.

774
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: If you don't have that guy, take a guy, do

775
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: it like Denver did with John Elway. Swing, keep swinging.

776
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: That's the guy first. Everything else gets pushed aside. Bring

777
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: him in free agency, draft him, get the best guys available,

778
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: pay him what you need to pay him. Find that guy,

779
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: and then when you do, then you can build it

780
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 1: around him. But if I'm Detroit and I have doubts

781
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: about Jared Goff and Justin Fields is sitting there, take him, yeah,

782
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: take him because you can't get caught without one of

783
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: those guys, right, there's no excuse for that. You're gonna take.

784
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: And in that division, you become very competitive, very quickly,

785
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: because it's basically Aaron Rodgers in a bunch of qbs.

786
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: You gotta get a guy. Yeah, that don't The Jets

787
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: screwed it up already, Sam Darnell needed to compete with

788
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: whoever this other Zach Wilson guy. They need to compete,

789
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: will make each other better, do it whatever. Then if

790
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: one of them wins, you know you've got an asset.

791
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: You can trade that guy. Hit the eject button. Yeah,

792
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: but it's it's crazy not to take cast an enormous

793
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: net at that point because you can't even grab, especially

794
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: when one is staring you in the face and you're

795
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: picking in the top ten. Simple as that got take

796
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: him break time for us, Mark and Buffalo Hang tight,

Speaker 1: because we are short on time, but we are asking

809
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: our listeners and viewers, what's your biggest concern with Round

810
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: one of the NFL Draft tomorrow night. Maybe it affects

811
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: the Bills directly, Maybe it's something else that another team

812
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: may or may not do that could impact the Bills.

813
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: But your choices are there on the tweet sheet that

814
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 1: One Bills Live Either comment there or give us a call.

815
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty. We've got open phone

816
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: lines for the next hour. We go to Mark and Buffalo. Mark,

817
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills

818
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: Live a good afternoon, guys. I try to look at

819
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: the draft logically, and to me, this year seems pretty

820
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: cut and dry as to well, if they're not going

821
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: to sit at thirty, what they should do, move up

822
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: or move down. I'm not a fan of moving down.

823
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of talk about value and

824
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: what player you get at thirty if you sit tight

825
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: and you don't have guys ranked that high, but it's

826
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: pretty well agreed upon that the Bills have a strong roster.

827
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: You trade down, you get middle picks. Middle picks are

828
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: typically where you find good backups that may evolve into

829
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: starters someday, but that's typically what you get there, and

830
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: you're picking out of a pool of players that are

831
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: half the size that they typically are. So my ilk

832
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: is that you take those middle round picks from this year,

833
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: you don't touch future picks in other years, and you

834
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: try to bumble them together to move up as high

835
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: as you can. If that's as high as twenty three,

836
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: so be it. But wherever you can get up to

837
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: and take a swing at a guy that may help

838
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: you this year, and then you hold onto your picks

839
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: for next year, where you're gonna be picking out of

840
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: a pool of players that are probably going to be

841
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: double than what it normally is. So other than I mean,

842
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: other than that, just sit tight at thirty. But I'd

843
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: rather see them move up and take a swing at

844
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: a guy and get rid of picks that this year

845
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: the chances of those guys making your team are going

846
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: to be slim to none, you know, especially you got

847
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: a smaller Yeah, So let me pose this to you,

848
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: Mark Okay, with the move that you're projecting up to

849
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 1: twenty three, somewhere up there, that would be the Jets pick.

850
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: I can't see them doing a deal with you. But

851
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: at any event, getting up into that range is going

852
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: to require you to part with every draft choice you have.

853
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: Accept your pick at sixty one in round two, So

854
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: you're giving up your three, you're two fives, you're six

855
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: or seven, and your pick at thirty. Are you good

856
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: with that? I? Actually I am fine with that. It's

857
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: probably it may sound crazy, but I think I don't

858
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: think where we're picking and what's going to be available.

859
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: There's nobody that's going to step in unless you have

860
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: a really really surprising fall of somebody at any position

861
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: that's going to walk in and be a starter. And

862
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: I think our backups are strong enough this year that

863
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: we're fine with that, And the chances of any one

864
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: of those numbers you just named even making the roster,

865
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: much less being a backup are slender none. And again

866
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: you have next are coming with this huge pool of players,

867
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: with Brandon being in a draft group that knows really

868
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: what they're doing, and they'll have two years of looking

869
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: at all these guys, all the guys that didn't play

870
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: last year and opting out last year. They'll have a

871
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: full year and a half at least to look at

872
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: these guys and say, oh my goodness, we got twenty

873
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: four hundred players to pick from here. I'm pretty confident

874
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: in Brandon being in his staff that would have pooled

875
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: that big. Those picks at three, four or five, six,

876
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: and seven are going to be very valuable next year,

877
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: and I'm good with just putting that off for one year. Yeah,

878
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: it's an interesting point because if you're your scenario spinning

879
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: it as positively as you can logically as you can.

880
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: You're thinking that if you get a guy's at thirty

881
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: or maybe twenty seven or twenty five or at thirty,

882
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: and then you trade all those picks and move up

883
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: from sixty one one up to like forty five or

884
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: whatever it is, take those two picks, the thirtieth and

885
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: the forty fifth or the fifty fifth pick somewhere in there,

886
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: and get two guys that you really have a shot

887
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: at helping you this year, and throwing all those other

888
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: picks to the curb and being happy with it because

889
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: you got a pretty solid roster. And I'll say this

890
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: in defense of your point, Mark that it's not gonna

891
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: be a problem for the Bills to fill their practice

892
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: squad with guys that were drafted and cut by other teams.

893
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: There's gonna be plenty of guys on the market out there,

894
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: so it's not like you're gonna get two guys and

895
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden year down to like, you know,

896
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: fifty three or fifty five guys to run your practices

897
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: and stuff. Usually you've got at least sixty guys. You're

898
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: gonna fill your froster out with people like Jake Krumero

899
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,439
Speaker 1: this last year, like Duke Williams, all these guys who

900
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: have been you know, discarded by other teams or for

901
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 1: whatever reason it didn't work. So to get to trade

902
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: all those picks to get two guys that really have

903
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: a shot at helping you, I think there's a larger

904
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: percentage that we might want to admit that would say, yeah,

905
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: I do that. I would be of the opinion that

906
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: the draft is d through rounds two and three, where

907
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: you can get people that can help you in the

908
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: first three rounds, even picking as late as the Bills

909
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: do after you get passed round four. Okay, I can

910
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: get behind moving moving some late picks if you can,

911
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: if you can find a way to do it. I

912
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna get much for it, but

913
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: I think the talent level is deep enough at some positions.

914
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: Cornerback goes there's a there's a tier down there in

915
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: the second round where they'll have a second swing at

916
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: a corner if they can't get one. And round one

917
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: there's offensive tackle talent that goes three rounds deep. So

918
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: I think those first three picks shouldn't be seen as

919
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: not worth the time because they're picking so late, and

920
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: you know, I respect Mark's point and the fact that

921
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: there's no debating the twenty twenty two draft class is

922
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: going to be extraordinarily deep, and they should probably keep

923
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,959
Speaker 1: as many picks and that draft as possible because knowing

924
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: the contracts you're gonna have to hand to Josh Allen,

925
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on the hunt for cheap labor in

926
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: the former rookie guys that can help you. And that

927
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: draft class is gonna help a lot of teams in

928
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: that kind of a position. But at the same time,

929
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: we have to look at how this team is done

930
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: in rounds two and three. Let's look at them and

931
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: see if they've been contributors. Dawson Knox, Devin Singletary, Cody Ford,

932
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 1: Zach Moss, aj Epenessa. That's just the last two years.

933
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: In rounds two and three. We haven't get to round

934
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: four with Gabriel davis um so that Matt mdonno, don't

935
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: just say well, second of third round guys are mostly

936
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: backups and time they haven't been here, right, they haven't

937
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: been here. So I think there's enough depth to the

938
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: class to get that far in the draft. We have

939
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: to take a break when we come back, more of

940
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: your phone calls. What's your biggest concern with Round one

941
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: of the NFL Draft tomorrow night. We'll get to some

942
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,080

Speaker 1: are there. Give us a call, open lines for you.

944

948
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

949
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you. State Steve a blimp.

950
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strated fere of normalcy. We're

Speaker 1: number two underway here on a Wednesday one Bills Live.

Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you day away from the

953
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one NFL Draft, and we are talking about

954
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: concerns you might have as to how the board falls

955
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: tomorrow night and whether the Bills will be able to

956
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: find an immediate impact player at thirty. Whether waiting up

957
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: all night only to see the Bills trade out as

958
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: something on your concerns list, or maybe it's the AFC

959
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: East teams who are picking in front of Buffalo and

960
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: two of them doing so more than once, and how

961
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: that may allow them to help close the gap on

962
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 1: your defending division champions, or maybe it's something else entirely

963
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: let us know eight oh three oh five fifty one

964
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty and open phone

965
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: lines for you for the next hour before Tyler Dunn

966
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: from golong dot com Joe joins us, and yeah, your

967
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: biggest concern heading into tomorrow and night. We put that

968
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: on there on the on the poll. I thought it

969
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: was trying to be a joke, like, hey, you wait

970
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: up all night and they trade out of the first round.

971
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: But I think one thing it says most people just

972
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 1: trust them. If they trade out of the first rounds, fine,

973
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: trade out them for round. But I just don't want to.

974
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: I just don't want to think get day up and wait. Yeah.

975
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: Really a personal inconvenience, right choice? Right? Yeah? Because if

976
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: they trade out of the first round, it's like, that's cool,

977
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: what are they now, They're gonna get another pick. I

978
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: don't know if people will be thinking that very thing

979
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: if they've been waiting four hours for the bills to

980
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: pick and then they trade out. Ah, God, see you tomorrow,

981
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: really another twenty four hours exactly. You know that we're

982
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: not quite twenty four hours. But I think a lot

983
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: of people if if they, you know, they'd be like, Okay.

984
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't think people would bum out about it. I

985
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: think I mean, I'm you name a Bills fan that's

986
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: not gonna want to be sitting there right when Roger

987
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: Goodell reads that name. Yeah, I mean we're all gonna

988
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: be doing that. You mean you're gonna be on right,

989
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna be You're gonna be be on right after Yeah.

990
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't think that's a thing that people

991
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: don't want them to trade out of the first round.

992
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: I think it's like I don't want to set wait

993
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: all night to find see nothing and then find out

994
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: what tell me tomorrow so I can go to bed. Right,

995
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: I think we know where Steve's coming from. There. Let's

996
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: go back to the phones. Joe on a cell is

997
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: waiting there for us. Joe, what do you have for us?

998
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, how you guys doing

999
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: good good? I was just sitting there thinking, and uh,

1000
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: I known that moving up from the thirtieth spot would

1001
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: be a possibility if Daji Harris isn't something that people

1002
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: be available. I was all for getting edge rusher, but

1003
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: I know it is one of our biggest needs, was

1004
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: an add rusher. But I believe when we have Starlet

1005
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: two laid back, it'll help with our run defense again.

1006
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking that maybe we should get a possibly

1007
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,240
Speaker 1: the best running back end the draft of Naji Harris,

1008
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: even if that does mean having to move up to

1009
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: anywhere from the eighteen to twenty fifth spot to get So, Joe,

1010
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: I need you to sell me on Naji Harris. Why

1011
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: why is he better for the fortunes of the Bills

1012
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: this year than, as you even said yourself, an edge rusher.

1013
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: Just sell me on it. Well, I feel like it

1014
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: opens up more because everybody's gonna be expecting enough to

1015
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: be playing pass with Josh Allen and they think we

1016
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: don't have a run game. And then you had that

1017
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: one explosive player that you don't want to regret not getting.

1018
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: You see go on another team and blows up and

1019
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: just about the overall and knowing and watching highlights to

1020
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: look at the kid and he does seem like he's

1021
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: a freaking hre out there and he's running back, and

1022
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a great running back. He has a

1023
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: great demeanor which fits our locker room. He has the

1024
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: way his personality is. That's what Bean likes and looks for.

1025
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: I just he think he fits the organization. And I

1026
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: know we could get addressers, but you know, being he's

1027
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: alwayn go out and find a diamond in the run

1028
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: for that too. And we had pretty good defense ending

1029
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: the year last year, and I think they're gonna get

1030
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: bigger and better. Epiness is gonna be switched over to

1031
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: where he should have been because the Tuley was out

1032
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: Oliver and when Epinessa were out of their positions. So

1033
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: I think when everything gets bigger and better, they go

1034
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: forward and drest. This defensive gelt even stronger, and they

1035
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: could definitely get addressed very next pick. They should get

1036
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: a pass rusher, but a sixty one, all right. I

1037
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: respect your opinion, Joe, thanks for the call. I don't

1038
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: know that I agree. He called Naji Harris explosive. I

1039
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the right description for him. He's

1040
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: certainly a talented running back, runs pretty fast on a

1041
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: stop Watch four four to five, but he's not considered

1042
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: explosive in the way that Etn is. And proof of

1043
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: that is, you know, six hundred and thirty eight career

1044
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: carries at Alabama, two went for forty yards or more.

1045
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: Two out of six hundred and thirty eight. That's not explosive.

1046
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, You're right. I would say this, not saying

1047
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: he's not good. Yeah, I would say this if the

1048
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: Bills have sat down and looked Naji Harrison the eye

1049
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: and had a conversation with him, watched his tape and

1050
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: evaluated him fully, and they have done the same with

1051
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: Travis atn Bills can take the guy they want. They're

1052
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: both they're both gonna be there at thirty. In fact,

1053
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: now that I'm sitting here, there they'll be there at

1054
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: sixty one two maybe. Um, there's there's no reason for teams.

1055
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't know both. I'm exaggerating to make a point.

1056
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: They may not both be there at sixty when they're

1057
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: both gonna be there at thirty. In my opinion, I

1058
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: don't think either one of them is gonna be gone

1059
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: and I and I'll tell you as to that'll tell

1060
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: you something about the running back position in this draft.

1061
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: There's not that many of them, but that doesn't change

1062
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: what a running back is or can do at the

1063
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: NFL level. And I'm laughing because of his two forty

1064
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: plus yard runs. They're on the highlight right we just

1065
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: watching right now. We saw both of them and he's

1066
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: h I And I'll say this, Um, when I say

1067
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,479
Speaker 1: about you know the Bills, you know, getting to sitting

1068
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: down with these guys. If they like Naji Harris's demeanor

1069
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: better than they like Travis atn you know who they're

1070
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: gonna take. Well, right, he's mentioned his demeanor. Um, that's

1071
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna be huge. And I'll say this too, he said,

1072
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, how do you you want to let an

1073
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: explosive player like that all of a sudden end up

1074
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: and watch him go play really well somewhere else. Every

1075
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: team in the draft does that every year because there's

1076
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: a guy taken ahead of you two or three spots

1077
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:13,919
Speaker 1: and you miss on him. He goes and plays well

1078
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: for somebody else and you missed on him or didn't

1079
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: take him because for whatever reason, every team goes through

1080
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: that every year. So that's not something that you need

1081
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: to have effect these picks. Some players picked right around

1082
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: the Bills at thirty are gonna be really good players.

1083
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: And you're gonna say, why didn't we jump up two

1084
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: spots to get him, Why didn't we jump back two

1085
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: spots to get him, or why didn't we take him

1086
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: when we have a chance. Don't let that color your analysis.

1087
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, they can take whoever they want for me,

1088
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: I get it. But I'm still hanging with the fact

1089
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: that I think they're gonna be an edge, a corner

1090
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: or an old lineman. Yep, that's kind of where it's at.

1091
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: And I only say that because now there's there's some

1092
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: really there's gonna be some really good linebackers there for us.

1093
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: And I'll make this point too. I was watching I

1094
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: was watching the Miami game again, the first the first

1095
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: Miami game from week two of the season. I remember

1096
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: Matt Milano went out in that game and Tremaine Edmonds

1097
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: left that game. No, he didn't even play, right, Edmonds

1098
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: didn't play. I don't know the Milano dressed either. It

1099
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: was Tyrell Dodson and that started. Yes, Tyrell Dodson played

1100
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: him and A J. Klein, Yeah, and the defense struggled. Gisicky.

1101
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: They're tight end looked like a world drunk in his

1102
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: in his Prime. Without Tremaine Edmonds and and Matt Milano

1103
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: on the field, the defense was gutted right down between

1104
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: the hashes. That doesn't happen with those two guys in there,

1105
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: So I'm, you know, maybe they do need some depth there.

1106
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: If those guys go down again, that's probably my next pick.

1107
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: If for a position in this draft, if they don't

1108
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: go edge cornerback off offensive lineman, the next person next

1109
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: thing I'd get would be a really good linebacker. Yeah, Ted,

1110
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't disagree with that. Just to give you an

1111
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: idea on what the draft knicks believe is the top

1112
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: end of where Naji Harris could go. There are some

1113
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: that believe it he could go as high as sixteen

1114
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: to Arizona. And then there's a next section where there

1115
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: are teams looking at running backs Jets at twenty three.

1116
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Some people think the Steelers at twenty four might take

1117
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: a running back. I'm not buying that. You couldn't give

1118
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: me odds good enough to say the Steelers are picking

1119
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: a running back over an offensive lineman. So he could

1120
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: very well be off the board before the Bills even picked.

1121
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: So two could etn So we'll just have to see

1122
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: how it all plays out. But let's go to the

1123
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1124
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. What's

1125
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: your biggest concern with Round one in the NFL Draft

1126
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow night? Joe says, being trading a Day two pick

1127
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: to move up and take a running back. That's it.

1128
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: That's his biggest concern. Don't do it, he says. Just

1129
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: had We just had another Joe on the phone who

1130
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 1: says they should trade up and take a running back.

1131
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: This Joe, his biggest concern is giving up a Day

1132
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: two pick to move up and take a running back.

1133
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: They got the same name and they want the opposite

1134
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: to happen. I love this guy. I can live with

1135
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: a running back at thirty, but an additional pick would

1136
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: be too much draft capital to invest in that position.

1137
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Good point. Where is going to be a big dividing

1138
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: line right down the middle of the Bill's fan base

1139
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: if the Bills take a running back in round one?

1140
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Can't you see it? Yeah? I do? And yeah if

1141
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: you want to run the ball better, though, get a

1142
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,479
Speaker 1: better offensive line. I'm with you. Not a running back,

1143
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Devin says, I chose see, because I really believe in

1144
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and would really prefer that he doesn't end

1145
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: up in New England. Also, Miami having multiple first rounders

1146
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and the ability to add a top offensive weapon could

1147
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: start to close the gap some. So he's concerned about

1148
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 1: the AFC East loading up in this draft to help

1149
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: close the gap on the Bills, the defending division champs.

1150
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: It's interesting because Miami seems to be a little bit

1151
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: more predictable in what they're gonna do. They've got there,

1152
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: They're all in with Tua, so they don't need the

1153
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: quarterback thing, so they're gonna build around him to get

1154
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, you can say offensive linemen, running back, weapons,

1155
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: weapons and protection, weapons and protection. That's all they're thinking

1156
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: about down there, and you can get your mind around that.

1157
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: As a Bills fan. New England. No idea, no idea

1158
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: that we've we've heard. We've heard that they've they've laid

1159
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: groundwork for in case the board above number eight falls,

1160
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: that they'd trade up to get number eight to Fields

1161
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: is there or whoever their guy is at, whoever did

1162
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: so New England And maybe that's our poll Twitter poll

1163
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: for tomorrow just before the draft. What do you think

1164
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots going to move up to

1165
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: get their guy, or they're gonna sit tight and get

1166
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: their guy. I don't know, but that's the more intriguing

1167
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: and the Jets, for lack of a way to better

1168
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: to put it in this scenario, the Jets, to me

1169
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: right now, are irrelevant. That they're irrelevant that that the

1170
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: quarterback at two the gap, the gap is too large,

1171
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: and their quarterback will be too young, no matter how

1172
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: gifted he is to do. They're hitting the reset reset,

1173
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: But that's exactly quarterback at two. And then does it

1174
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: even matter what they take at twenty three running back, corner, edge, rusher, lineback.

1175
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they need everything after they get the quarterback

1176
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: at two. So we shall see. We do want to

1177
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: go back to the phones waiting for us. There is

1178
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Cal in Grand Island. Cal, what do you have for us?

1179
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, I wanted today.

1180
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Good good. My biggest fear is to direct these guys

1181
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: that are like, oh, you know, great physical specimens but

1182
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: don't actually have results on the field. And just my

1183
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: biggest fear as you get the kid from Penn State

1184
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: who had no sacks lash year, Oh, but he can

1185
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: do the hog jump and all this. So I don't,

1186
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, unless you can produce on the field. And

1187
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm right along with you guys, I'd like to have

1188
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: the best available corner and then if not, you know,

1189
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: maybe that kid out of Miami, the Red Rusher or

1190
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: was it Russo yeah, yeah, I was watching the NFL

1191
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: that Knock Draft last night for the Nation on ESPN,

1192
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: and that's who the guy was representing Buffalo pick. But

1193
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: I tell you who I really like, I really like,

1194
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: I might I hope he's still there. Is that that

1195
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: David Collins from Tulsa, the linebacker. More and more I've

1196
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: been watching his film and it's like he is just amazing.

1197
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean that would I don't know, I like him

1198
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: and maybe even you know, if that that Moe guy,

1199
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: the safety on a TCUs there, I mean, the way

1200
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: we play heavy Nickel, I think he'd be a great

1201
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: fit too. So I don't I'll just wonder what you

1202
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: guys think. Yeah, marrig the safety from TCU is considered

1203
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: by many to be the best safety in the draft.

1204
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: I actually like the kid from Oregon better than him,

1205
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: Javon Holland, who many think is going to be a

1206
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: second round safety. And we can talk more about some

1207
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: of those guys tomorrow, But as far as corners go, yeah,

1208
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I kind of want a corner to lie,

1209
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, somebody that's good enough to at least compete

1210
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: for the starting job as a rookie with Dane Jackson

1211
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: and Levi Wallace opposite Tredevius White. And just in fairness

1212
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: to Jason Oway, yes, he had no sacks last year.

1213
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: That is one hundred percent true. He did have five

1214
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: sacks the year before and only started one game, and

1215
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: he had two sacks the year before that when he

1216
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,439
Speaker 1: appeared in only four games. So he's raw. I don't

1217
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,479
Speaker 1: think there's any question about it. He is a raw

1218
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: player who is not refined. The word that we have

1219
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: heard from some of the analysts who are in the

1220
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: know and talk to these different college teams is this

1221
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: the elite athletes at Penn State are allowed to just

1222
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: run around and use their natural athletic ability to try

1223
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: to make plays. They did it with Jason Oway, and

1224
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: they did it with Micah Parsons, their linebacker. They just

1225
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: let those guys roam free, use your athletic ability, go

1226
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: make something happen the other guys who are less physically gifted.

1227
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: Those are the ones they coach up and try to

1228
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: teach technique to win, because that's what they need to win.

1229
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: And you see this at other schools. It's not a

1230
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 1: knock on Penn State, but they just know they have

1231
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: athletes that are vastly superior to anyone they're gonna go

1232
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: up against on the other side of the ball, and

1233
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 1: they say, just go make a play. Yeah, they try

1234
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: and coach up the lesser athletes to help out their studs. Yeah,

1235
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: that's an issue, but it hit by the same token.

1236
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, this guy didn't have any sacks this last year.

1237
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't. They didn't play a full season, I know.

1238
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: But you know, if you're seven games, if you're in

1239
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: his corner and you're pulling for Jason Oway, know this.

1240
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people will say, you go

1241
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: back and look at some of those games. He was

1242
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: a problem the entire game with no sacks. He was

1243
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: a real problem for this other tea like the Indiana

1244
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: gain a lot of ten quarterback hits against India. Their

1245
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: quarterback knows exactly who Jason Oway is, and he's and

1246
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: they're glad to get rid of him. So the guy's

1247
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: got some ability. You're right, the stats didn't show up

1248
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: this year like you would have liked to see. I

1249
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: think I would. I would bend a little bit of that,

1250
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: not all of it, but give it some slack because

1251
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 1: of COVID and the shortened season and the funky protocols

1252
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: that everybody was in. Just like I would elevate some

1253
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: guys who didn't show out well statistically, I would devalue

1254
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 1: some guys who maybe did because for the same reason,

1255
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: you know your opponents, you know, you know they're coming

1256
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: off a bad week, you're coming off a good week.

1257
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Or you know they've got three guys that were on COVID,

1258
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 1: they couldn't practice a couple of days during the week,

1259
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: and they're playing you this week and you did. There's

1260
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons that why the stats are a

1261
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: little bit misleague. You know, this guy played seven games,

1262
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: this guy played six games, this guy played eleven, this

1263
01:07:55,360 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: guy played four. It's an issue, but you have to

1264
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: check it out, no question about it. I mean that's

1265
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: part of the thing, and that's what's going to make

1266
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: the first round so compelling. With respect to who Brandon

1267
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: being in the Bills decide upon at pick thirty because

1268
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: if you look at their very brief draft history, in

1269
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Round one twenty seventeen, at the bottom of the round,

1270
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: they took a safe pick Trudevious White. Now, granted that

1271
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 1: was the last Doug Whaley draft, so I don't know

1272
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: that it necessarily applies, although Sean McDermott was a part

1273
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: of that draft process. They took a safe pick at

1274
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 1: twenty seven, three year starter team captain character through the roof,

1275
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: Trudavious White's the pick, and he's a first team All Pro.

1276
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen, they pick at seven, and they pick at sixteen,

1277
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: and they take players with elite athletic traits Josh Allen,

1278
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds. Twenty nineteen, they pick in the top ten,

1279
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: and they take a player who does not have elite

1280
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: physical measurables, but as clearly someone they thought was an

1281
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: exception to the rule as an undersized defensive tackle three technique.

1282
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: He was a great player for a role upfront. And

1283
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: then last year they didn't have a first round pick.

1284
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: So what are they gonna do at thirty? Are they

1285
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna go with elite physical traits someone like Jason Oway?

1286
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Are they going to go conservative with a player that

1287
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: has a large body of work. That's the debate here,

1288
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,600
Speaker 1: what are they gonna go with? And I find it

1289
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: very compelling because they've kind of been all over the

1290
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: board in terms of what they've taken in Round one.

1291
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Maybe some of that is predicated on where they picked,

1292
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: but there's a chance you're gonna have some players with

1293
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: elite physical traits all the way down at thirty and

1294
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: do you choose that or do you choose the safer

1295
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: pick with a better body of work and production on

1296
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: the field. I think it's it's easy to generalize, and

1297
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: not that what you said is wrong, it's right. But

1298
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,879
Speaker 1: I think even in the guys were they have elite traits,

1299
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: I think the thing that sells this team on any

1300
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 1: guy is what's between their ears and the and the

1301
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: and the DNA that worked. And I think the reason

1302
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 1: they jumped on Josh, jumped on Tremaine there was character

1303
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: was through the roof, the same thing with Tredavious, same

1304
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: thing with guy like Milano. Uh, all these guys all

1305
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 1: the way through. The DNA is really superseds the measurables. Um.

1306
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: If Jason Oway has a couple of red flags on

1307
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 1: his character, he's he's dropped um if he has a

1308
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: couple of you know whatever, you know, incredible points about

1309
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: his character or like where you know, he started his

1310
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: own charitable foundation, or he cures cancer or you know,

1311
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: you know he invents time travel or something like that. Right,

1312
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: he's got one of those kind of things on his

1313
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: resume that shoots him up. I think this team is

1314
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: all about all about what they bring to the table

1315
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 1: in their character and their personality and their leadership skills,

1316
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: and all the measurables kind of comes secondary to that.

1317
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 1: That's their character gets them in the conversation, and then

1318
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: the measurables are what set them apart after that, not

1319
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: the other way. It's not the measurables to get him

1320
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: in the conversation. It's the character that gets him in

1321
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: the conversation, and then the measurables separate them as a

1322
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: secondary qualification. So I think that's where they that's where

1323
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: they go as a bill. So I think all the

1324
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: things you said about doing this in this draft or

1325
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: that and that draft is true. But I think it's

1326
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: all about the individual guy at that point. Right. The

1327
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: philosophy is the same. It's the character and the leadership first,

1328
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: then we'll see what kind of football player. We what

1329
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: about instincts, because that's some of what's between the years,

1330
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 1: but in a different way, like you know, anticipates the

1331
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 1: play is maybe a half step ahead of everybody else

1332
01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: because of his instincts. Where does that fall on the scale?

1333
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: That falls into a couple of things you might be

1334
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 1: able to measure ones? And how smart is he? Because

1335
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: if you're really smart, you're out ahead of it mentally.

1336
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: Let's not forget though there's book smart, well I get it,

1337
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: and there's football, right, yeah, yeah, but your intelligence is transcendent.

1338
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: If you know, if you're smart, you're smart. That teller

1339
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: is too, and it transcends itself. And if and believe me,

1340
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: I've said this a ton smart guys. When you draft

1341
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: a smart guy, he's gonna be better next week than

1342
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: he is this week. And he's certainly gonna be better

1343
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: next year than he is this year, and he's gonna

1344
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: be better than three years than he is. There you

1345
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: get a guy that's not like that. He's going to

1346
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: be the same player the day he retires that he

1347
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: was when he started, even if he hasn't, even if

1348
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 1: he's so gifted. He has a ten year career. He'll

1349
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: be the same guy in ten years that he wasn't

1350
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: when he was a rookie. And that's what scares people

1351
01:12:55,400 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: with Jason Oway. That's right, because the production isn't there.

1352
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: People are concerned. The reason the production isn't there is

1353
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have the instincts and while he's a

1354
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 1: hustler on the field, is any of that going to

1355
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: translate at the high level of football. Would Jadeveon Clowney

1356
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: be the first overall pick of the draft again or

1357
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the third overall trip pick of the draft this year,

1358
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: even if he was in the same class and everybody

1359
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: knew what they knew now, would he be that high

1360
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: a pick. No, he would not. He would not. He's

1361
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: the same guy he was as a as a senior,

1362
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: and he's bouncing around teams. He's made a ton of money.

1363
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: Good for him. He had zero sacks last year. I mean,

1364
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: that's that's what you're talking about. It And you talk

1365
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: about a guy who you walk into room and like,

1366
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: who is that guy? Well, that's a guy like Jadeveon Clowney.

1367
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: He stands out, so he the scouts love him. They

1368
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: may you know he's got all the measurables. He's fast,

1369
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: he's big, he's strong, he's but he's not productive, and

1370
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,719
Speaker 1: he's he does he's the same player now. In fact,

1371
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: he may be worse now than he was as a rookie. Ye,

1372
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: there's that's what you're trying to not draft exactly. We

1373
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but more of your

1374

01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: is with Round one of the NFL Draft tomorrow and

01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,479

1380
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 1: with Round one of the NFL Draft tomorrow and night.

1381
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Choices are there for you at one Bills Live on

1382
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, but we go to the phones and

1383
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: leading us off this segment is Stephen west Seneca, Steve,

1384
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: what do you got for us? You're on One Bills Live.

1385
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: I was just wondering about that running back from ub

1386
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: They say he could go in the fifth for sixth round.

1387
01:14:58,320 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: What do you think of him as a running back?

1388
01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:01,640
Speaker 1: Here some good numbers this year, and you think he

1389
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: could cut the ball at a backfield. And also, thank

1390
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: you for a fine job they're on air, and I'll

1391
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: vote for both you for the Hall of Fame of

1392
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: Boodchesters in Buffalo. Oh, thank you. We appreciate that, Steve.

1393
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: That's very nice of you to say. Uh yeah, Jared Patterson,

1394
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: you're right about his range. Deemed to be a fifth

1395
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: or a six round draft pick. It's it's uh. He's

1396
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: diminutive in stature. He's he's like a Devin Singletary. He's

1397
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: five six, one five. I like his ability to hit

1398
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 1: the whole. He had a lot of wide open spaces

1399
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 1: in the MAC, which is not known as a great

1400
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: run defending conference, shall we say, And he was the

1401
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: beneficiary of a very good offensive line. That's not to

1402
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 1: say he can't get yards on his own. He can

1403
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: do that. I think the issue here is if you

1404
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: want him to come in and be an inside runner

1405
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: at the NFL level, I think that's going to be

1406
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: a big ask for him because he doesn't have the

1407
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: size to push the pile. He's a guy that's going

1408
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: to have to make people in space, and he's gonna

1409
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: need blockers in front of him to be what you

1410
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 1: are asking him to be. If, yeah, Jarrett must be

1411
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 1: able to catch the ball extremely well to play at

1412
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the next level. He's he's gonna be an okay talent

1413
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: as a running back at the next level. He projects

1414
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 1: is a change of pace guy. He's gonna be. Yeah,

1415
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: he'll have a role to He's never gonna be a

1416
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: lead back in the National Football League in my opinion.

1417
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 1: But if he can do enough things extremely well, like

1418
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: catch the ball, run routes, get separation, be a third

1419
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: down guy. If he can stand up under normal circumstances

1420
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: once in a while in pass protection, is a five

1421
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 1: six guy or five to seven guy, then he can

1422
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: carve out a niche for himself at the NFL level.

1423
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 1: But like you said, maybe he could catch back. He's

1424
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: gotta catch passes. He's got in fact, he's not only

1425
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: does he have to catch passes, he's got to run

1426
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,919
Speaker 1: routes extremely well. It's gotta be like a Danny Woodhead

1427
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: type exactly what. He's got to be able to split out,

1428
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: run routes. He's in fact, yeah, he's got to be

1429
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: almost a receiver playing running back. Uh, certainly, they'll give

1430
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 1: him the ball and hand it to him in a

1431
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: normal setting and out of the backfield, that kind of thing.

1432
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to do so many things so

1433
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: well to get to the next level and play well

1434
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 1: and play a long time. We'll see. He's gonna get

1435
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 1: his opportunity, just no doubt about it. He's earned it.

1436
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: We'll go back to the phones to David and Hamburg.

1437
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: We go, David, what do you got for us? You're

1438
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: on one bills live? David? Are you there, sir? All right?

1439
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Let me put him on hold and we will go

1440
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: to let's see here what sorry, Oh, we just lost

1441
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 1: all the calls us. You know, I'm still messing it up.

1442
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: Can somebody put him on hold for me? Okay, Let's

1443
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: go to Jean in Fredonia. Jean, what do you have

1444
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one bills live? All right? I

1445
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: got a couple or trade proposals for you guys to

1446
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: weigh in on. First. One's kind of pretty steep. That's

1447
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: going to Atlanta to get their number four pick, given

1448
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: them the first pick in this year's draft and number

1449
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: one in two thousand and twenty two and two thousand

1450
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: and twenty three, along with Tremaine Etmunds to draft pile picks.

1451
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: I want to give up all of that for pits.

1452
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: Do you like pits that much? Well? I don't I do,

1453
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just just a thought, kind of

1454
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: curious to what you guys think. Yeah, I don't think

1455
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: that's too rich for my blood. I mean, you gotta

1456
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 1: think about it this way. The forty nine ers gave

1457
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: up their pick at twelve, two ones and a three

1458
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: to get up to pick three to take a quarterback,

1459
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: and people thought that was a lot to get a

1460
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. And that's going from twelve. And you want

1461
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: to come up from thirty give away your pick at

1462
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: thirty two one and a guy who was a first

1463
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 1: round pick in Tremaine Edmonds, a Pro Bowl linebacker, to

1464
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: get Kyle Pitts at four. I can't. I'm sorry, Gene.

1465
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: That's too rich for me, too rich for me. Should

1466
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 1: get another one, though? What's up? Um? Internested in your

1467
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:18,719
Speaker 1: thoughts of maybe trading up to Minnesota to get Michael

1468
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: Parsons from a Penn state, maybe offer two ones and

1469
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: maybe a third? Who? Man, you let me guess you're

1470
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna bench Tremaine Edmonds for Michael Parsons beat the Chiefs.

1471
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: Brandon being talking about tight ends and if you don't

1472
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 1: go there, I mean, ye, who knows, you know, any

1473
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: any of these guys can make it or break it.

1474
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: You know, you don't know until they get there. Jane,

1475
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: you're telling me that you're gonna jump up to Minnesota

1476
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: and and you're gonna bench Tremaine Edmonds in favor of

1477
01:19:53,479 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. No, are you gonna bench Matt Milano? No?

1478
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: Well that's all they have is they play them too, right, Well,

1479
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 1: why would what would you do with Michael Party give

1480
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 1: up all that draft capital to bring Michael Parsons in.

1481
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,919
Speaker 1: He's not starting. It's not really a lot of draft capital.

1482
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe you're just giving up a one in

1483
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: a three. I mean you and you're drafting at at

1484
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 1: thirties or twenty eights or whatever, you know. I think

1485
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: keep going away there. My question is, Gene, why would

1486
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: you trade for this Micah Parsons and he can't even

1487
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 1: get on the field for you? I think he'd get

1488
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,679
Speaker 1: on the field and he eat him against my homes

1489
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: and just just for rush purposes. Yeah, Oh you like Okay,

1490
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 1: I like him as a rusher. All right, maybe maybe

1491
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that gene you. You are not a guy

1492
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: I'd go to Vegas with you. You roll the dice

1493
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: big time. I can't do that. That's too And I

1494
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: don't think Brandon Bean would it either. He covets his

1495
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: draft choices. That is a lot to part with. My

1496
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: word Minnesota. He is just so. He put Bills from fifth,

1497
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: from thirty up to He's given away first round picks

1498
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 1: like pieces of bazooka guns. People. That is just who

1499
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: the Rams do it? Who else did it? The Niners

1500
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: just did it. This team in the same division, teams

1501
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 1: are giving that stuff away. Let's uh, let's go to

1502
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: TJ on a cell. TJ, what do you have for us?

1503
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: You're on one. Bill's live a gentleman. They're good. Yeah,

1504
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was just thinking, you know, I was

1505
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: all sold on drafting etn you know, just basically for

1506
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: the sex appeal of having a home run header. The

1507
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:42,719
Speaker 1: Bills went out and got Matt Britaka. Now I believe

1508
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 1: sa Zack Moss and Devin still get Singletary invested two

1509
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: third round picks on those guys. Um very serviceable running backs.

1510
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: I think Singletary dropped off a little bit last year,

1511
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 1: but I think he still has it in them. And

1512
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 1: when Zach Moss was peaking, he kind of he got

1513
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: injured there and then heard us in the playoffs, which

1514
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to go to the Indianapolis team.

1515
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 1: I just wanted to interject that because of my seniority, thought,

1516
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 1: there you go. We got we got Matt Brida. He's

1517
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,839
Speaker 1: our home run hitter. The girls are in that position

1518
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: where they can started looking wrong. Seems like Baltimore Pittsburgh

1519
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 1: that replaces people as they get long in the tooth.

1520
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 1: You know, Ade Rusher, cornerback. I believe those are our

1521
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: spots that we need to go. And just as as

1522
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,720
Speaker 1: Epaneza felt to us in the second round last year,

1523
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: and some people were saying he was, you know, the

1524
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: second maybe the first last pass, Rusher was some development.

1525
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Some gonna follow us in that thirty spot or we

1526
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: could trade back. But we got Matt Brida. He's a

1527
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 1: home run hitter. You guys agree with that, Yeah, I've

1528
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: I've been in agreement with that for a while. That's

1529
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: the name I've I've brought up when people say, well,

1530
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:51,719
Speaker 1: who's your home run hitter I said, did you forget

1531
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: they signed Matt Breeda in free agency? And you know,

1532
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: TJ brings up an interesting point though. I think the

1533
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: appeal there's an appeal factor with Travis Etn because he's

1534
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 1: a highlight real player and people like, ooh, I like that.

1535
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: He is the sexy pick. Right. It's a lot sexier

1536
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 1: than Creed Humphrey. Right. Think about it. You're gonna you're

1537
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna draft hard center guard slash center to back up

1538
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse, John Policiano and Cody Ford. Or you're gonna

1539
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: draft a guy that you know is gonna you're gonna

1540
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: hand him the football in the middle of the game. Um, yeah,

1541
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: I get that. The question is at this point, who

1542
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: gives you more? And you know, like and like TJ

1543
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: and all these people said, you're gonna whoever. If the

1544
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: Bills pick at thirty, they are gonna get a really

1545
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 1: good player, a really good player. The problem is, this

1546
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: is a team full of really good players and it's

1547
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna and I think, and Brandon Beans said it in

1548
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: his press conference, they're gonna think long term rather than

1549
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: short term. I think you can afford to get a guy.

1550
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 1: And here's the here's the question. Do you get a

1551
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna start for you after one of these

1552
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: really good players has gone on these one year deals

1553
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: or whatever, or are you gonna get a player that's

1554
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: got an upside like Josh Allen. That's unbelievable, but you're

1555
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to wait a while to get there. If

1556
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: it ever happens long term over short term. That doesn't

1557
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: say ETN today, It does not. I'm just thinking about

1558
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: that now, you know, And I know we we parse

1559
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,600
Speaker 1: and divide and divvy up Brandon Bean's words to the

1560
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 1: letter to try to get a read as to what

1561
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:44,480
Speaker 1: they're things. Now. He was talking about philosophy overalls, philosophy

1562
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: and this year's draft. Yeah, he was not necessarily picked thirty,

1563
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: but he was talking about the draft as a whole,

1564
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 1: and they was thinking more long term than short terms.

1565
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: He's just say that three weeks before the draft, and

1566
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: you don't know that some some you know, Hall of

1567
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: Fame worthy guys going to drop into your las, but

1568
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 1: thirty you don't. So all of a sudden, it's like

1569
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 1: whoa we're gonna ask. Yeah, I hear what you're saying.

1570
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna squeeze one more in here before the break,

1571
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Chris and Buffalo, What do you have for us? Chris? Hey,

1572
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: how's it going? Guy? Good? Um My? I Mean, my

1573
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: biggest concern in the draft this year is the fact

1574
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: that I don't know if I'll be able to stay

1575
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: up for the first pick. But I would love to see,

1576
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, a biggest closive playmaker, whether it's on the

1577
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 1: office offensive side or the defensive. I feel like we

1578
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: could use a great running back, and we also meet

1579
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: a good as rusher. I feel like we're pretty solid

1580
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 1: around the floor and as far as every other position. Okay, So,

1581
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: so you would be okay with a running back in

1582
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 1: round one or an edge rusher there, I would definitely

1583
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: be okay with either or as long as I mean,

1584
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna step in and make a Fleet six splash

1585
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: for us. Okay, that's fair. I mean, I get it.

1586
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, you know, there are

1587
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: some Bills fans out there that say they're going to

1588
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: be incensed if the Bills draft a running back. I'm

1589
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not gonna be get bent out of

1590
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: shape if I can see the rationale for it, particularly

1591
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: in this day and age of the NFL where if

1592
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: you're good on offense, get better because you got to

1593
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 1: score with people. Yeah, particularly in this conference, and for

1594
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: all we know, the board can fall in such a way.

1595
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 1: We're the only value there is at running back and

1596
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: if you can't get out at thirty and move back, well,

1597
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: then that's what you're doing. And here's another thing as well,

1598
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: um you get your board set as a as a

1599
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: general manager, head coach, and a staff. There are certain

1600
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 1: guys for reasons unbeknownst to you and me and a

1601
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: regular fans as to some of these really good players

1602
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,600
Speaker 1: we've been talking about for weeks and weeks, he's not

1603
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,120
Speaker 1: on their board. He's completely off. So we're saying, well,

1604
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: why don't they take a ten or Naji Harris? And

1605
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: for some reason, neither of those guys are even viable

1606
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: options for the bills because where they're picking at that

1607
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: time of whatever, there could be character issues if they

1608
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: take these guys off the board, where there could be

1609
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 1: size parameters that they take those guys off the board for.

1610
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 1: There could be issues with their interviews with they had

1611
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: with their coaches or the player themselves. Maybe the player

1612
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 1: disqualified himself saying I never want to play in Buffalo, ever,

1613
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: so that takes him off the board. So there can

1614
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 1: be extenuating circumstances for all these guys that just the

1615
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Bills won't even put their name on the list of

1616
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: guys to be picked. And I'm not saying there's like fifty,

1617
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: but there's maybe a half a dozen, maybe a handful

1618
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: yeah of guys that we think are viable options that

1619
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:39,719
Speaker 1: the Bills have already disqualified. So when you get to thirty,

1620
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: their menu of players that are options are different than

1621
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: ours that we've been talking about for a month because

1622
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: we don't know all the stuff that they have found

1623
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,439
Speaker 1: out and think is important. Break time for us. But

1624
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: Rick and Rochester, DJ and Virginia Hang Tight will get

1625
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 1: to you when we return. Here on One Bill's Live

1635
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Canal Side in Buffalo. There is some NFL news trade

1636
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: news do do Do Do Do Do Do NFL Networks

1637
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 1: Tom Pellicero is reporting what we were talking about just

1638
01:28:54,160 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: last hour. Carolina has traded quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the

1639
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:05,759
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos in exchange for a sixth round draft choice.

1640
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:09,760
Speaker 1: That's all it took. And it gets better. Caroline is

1641
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: going to pay a portion of Bridgewater's twenty twenty one

1642
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: salary as part of a restructured contract to finalize the

1643
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 1: deal to Denver, which now has competition for Drew Locke,

1644
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 1: and now it probably rules them out as a potential

1645
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: trade up candidate to go get a quarterback. New England

1646
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: couldn't be happier right now, right so Denver might be

1647
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:40,639
Speaker 1: in the market to trade back, could be and so

1648
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 1: does does New England get on the horn with them

1649
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: and say, hey, can we move up to nine from fifteen? Oh,

1650
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 1: Denver sitting there at number nine, You're gonna get a

1651
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:54,640
Speaker 1: really nice, maybe Denver, Okay, just calm down. Well, the

1652
01:29:55,160 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 1: general consensus, the general consensus on Denver was if they

1653
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 1: did not take a quarterback, they would be interested in

1654
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,840
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, so that Vic Fangio could have a centerpiece

1655
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:11,559
Speaker 1: in his defense. That was the general thought there. They

1656
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: may stay there and do just that. He might not

1657
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: get Parsons at fifteen. No, you might not. He's not

1658
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna get past the Giants, So there's that. But yes,

1659
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 1: so this would seem on the surface to take Denver

1660
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: out of the quarterback move up in the draft equation,

1661
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 1: which certainly helps New England if they want to get

1662
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 1: up to eight. You know, let's just say, I mean people.

1663
01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 1: We had Tony Pauline on yesterday from the Pro Football

1664
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: Network who said Atlanta has taken Pitts, Cincinnati's taken Jamar Chase,

1665
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:50,600
Speaker 1: looks like the Dolphins are gonna take Penney Sewell, so

1666
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: that gets you down to Detroit at seven, where there

1667
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 1: could be quarterbacks four and five still on the board.

1668
01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Who's going to trade up? Is somebody gonna leap from

1669
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots? Denver is now out of the mix. Denver

1670
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 1: doesn't need it. But although I mean, you could make

1671
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: the argument they should Bridgewater and Drew Locke. I mean

1672
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 1: I was excited. Does that get you right? So you

1673
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 1: just said this trade thing last let me hear just

1674
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 1: remind you what I said. What did you denvercast a

1675
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 1: wide net to get quarterbacks? They got Teddy Bridgewater for

1676
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,280
Speaker 1: a sixth right, but they have a new GM now

1677
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 1: it's George Patt. You gotta find the guy. I don't

1678
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: disagree with you and Teddy Bridge. If Caroline is kicking

1679
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 1: Terry Bridge, Teddy Bridgewater the curb, why do you think

1680
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:37,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna work for you? Kirk Cousins got Teddy Bridgewater

1681
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: traded ye, kirk Cousins. Now Sam Darnold did Sam Well right?

1682
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:49,600
Speaker 1: So teddy Bridgewater is your answer. I'm not saying he is.

1683
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying no, he comes in and is a mentor

1684
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,720
Speaker 1: for the guy you actually still draft there. Do not

1685
01:31:56,080 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 1: bail on. Okay, you got to get that guy. Denver

1686
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:06,799
Speaker 1: has been looking for that guy. Let's think we need

1687
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 1: let's we need to get Steve a stress squeezed toy

1688
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 1: that he can just kind of let's review where the

1689
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 1: flex in his hand so we can get through the show.

1690
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Mann, he says before Peyton, they got Peyton Manning.

1691
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 1: They go to a couple of Super Bowls, they win one,

1692
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 1: good for them, so happy then they they they had before,

1693
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:33,639
Speaker 1: they had the tall kid, brock Oswiler, Bust, Drew Lockin,

1694
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, Packson Lynch. Yeah, they've been going through quarterbacks

1695
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 1: like nobody's business. Because because when John l was running

1696
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: in the day to day is over there, get me

1697
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 1: another one. He knows what he's looking at, and he

1698
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 1: also knows if you don't have that guy, you ain't

1699
01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 1: got nothing. Yeah, why are teams so averse? They'ren't even

1700
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: paying his whole salary. Caroline's paying his salary. Yeah, draft

1701
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 1: one of these games. In light of the circumstances here,

1702
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: they gave up a six and they're not even paying

1703
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:17,760
Speaker 1: his full salary on a restructured deal. So maybe that's

1704
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 1: an indication that they're still looking quarterback. They might be.

1705
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 1: You got trade to get one, now, trade oppy, Yeah,

1706
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 1: go up to Detroit at seven. Yeah, make sure, make sure.

1707
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones into Rick and Rochester here.

1708
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:34,640
Speaker 1: We'll squeez him in before the break, Rick, what do

1709
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,840
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's life? Hey, guys.

1710
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:45,559
Speaker 1: Biggest concern is drafting a running back. I will not

1711
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 1: be incensed, but I think it's absolutely idiotic. If if

1712
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 1: you want to change the scheme, which I'm sure Brian

1713
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 1: Dabble is looking out, They've got two fantastic running backs

1714
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:09,439
Speaker 1: in Singletary and Moss period and they went out and

1715
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 1: they got Matt Rita, the so called home run hitter.

1716
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,679
Speaker 1: Bottom line is the offense knows how to score. They've

1717
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 1: got two very good running backs, relatively young. All they

1718
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 1: need to do is change up the scheme, which I'm

1719
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:32,599
Speaker 1: sure Ryan Devil was doing, burning the midnight oil, making

1720
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:34,519
Speaker 1: sure that they'll be able to run here and there.

1721
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:38,479
Speaker 1: But I have no concerns about the running game other

1722
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 1: than the scheme. You've got some hogs up front. I

1723
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:46,719
Speaker 1: would say look at maybe a Landern Dickerson, a Creed

1724
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Humphrey for the future. Don't know what Mitch Morris is

1725
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 1: about and how much longer he's going to be there.

1726
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: The concussions are an issue. I love Feliciano moving over

1727
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 1: and playing center, but these are older guys, and if

1728
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 1: you want a home run hitter, drafted Alijah Moore out

1729
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 1: of old miss Ole Miss Yeah. The slot receiver want

1730
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 1: to do as far as a home run hitter. He's

1731
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 1: like another Isaiah mackenzie. So yeah, and he's only on

1732
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 1: a one year deal? Correct? Correct? And how old is Beasley? Three? Okay,

1733
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 1: So there you go, guys. All right, thanks Rick, a

1734
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:27,120
Speaker 1: good breakdown. We thank you for the phone call. Very

1735
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 1: well thought out there. Yeah, he's he said, you know, fantastic.

1736
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, he characterized Zach Mowson. Devin Singletary is fantastic

1737
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:39,600
Speaker 1: running backs. They're good. I like them. They ran a

1738
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:43,840
Speaker 1: gap scheme in Devin Singletary's rookie year, he averaged five

1739
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 1: point one to carry. They went to more of his

1740
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 1: own scheme. I want to say halfway through the year

1741
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 1: this year is that when it changed change and I

1742
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:53,599
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you it's a more of his own scheme

1743
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:56,160
Speaker 1: and that didn't work as well for these guys because

1744
01:35:56,160 --> 01:36:00,160
Speaker 1: getting to the edge, they're not burners. Right. Um, It's

1745
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting to see where the run game

1746
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: scheme is. There is something to be said for Brian

1747
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 1: day bol adjusting how they're blocking up front to give

1748
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 1: these guys a little better run game fit and to

1749
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 1: help Singletary and Moss play better and with Brita in

1750
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 1: the mix, I'm totally on board with him being the

1751
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,240
Speaker 1: draft pick this year, so to speak, the big playe threat.

1752
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm totally with Rick. They can draft whoever

1753
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,800
Speaker 1: they want. I trust them, they got an idea of it.

1754
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time getting my mind around

1755
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,679
Speaker 1: being running back the first place they go in this draft.

1756
01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:36,759
Speaker 1: We will talk more about running backs when we return,

1757
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 1: because coming up next is Tyler Dunn who will be

1758
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: talking about a feature story he did when he had

1759
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 1: a chance to sit down with Devin Singletary. What fuels Motor?

1760
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,960
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is the player who can lift the Bills

1761
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Think Buffalo Sha draft a running back.

1762
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:59,759
Speaker 1: Think again, you won't even recognize the guy known as Motor.

1763
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one. Talked to Tyler Dunna about that.

1764
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:04,680
Speaker 1: When we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by

1765
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:23,639
Speaker 1: Colt of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve

1766
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique.

1767
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

1768
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stratosphere of

1769
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: normalcy here. It is time for our number three of

1770
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, and we're gonna do that with the

1771
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 1: man who basically runs golongtd dot com and has an

1772
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: interesting right up on Devin Singletary. So everybody that is

1773
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 1: on the Bill should draft a running back, train should

1774
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 1: read this thing. What fuels motor? Devin Singletary is the

1775
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 1: player who can lift the Bills to the Super Bowl. Tyler,

1776
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 1: I like the subhead or even better think buffalosha draft

1777
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:10,040
Speaker 1: a running back? Think again, you won't even recognize the

1778
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 1: running back known as Motor in twenty twenty one. How

1779
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 1: does that not make you want to read more? Tyler?

1780
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Man? Good to have you in

1781
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: here doing great, doing great, Chris Man, thanks so much

1782
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: for having me back. I always loved doing it. And

1783
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 1: uh yeah, you know, I guess just the impetus for

1784
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 1: this story just to jump right into it was was that,

1785
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, I was definitely guilty as charged right like that.

1786
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: This team needs a running back, they need a playmaker,

1787
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 1: they need somebody dynamic in the backfield. But the more

1788
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 1: I learned about what Devin Singletary was up to this offseason,

1789
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 1: the more I talked to him, got a sense for

1790
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 1: his mentality. Just what really fuels him is one part

1791
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: of it, but also how he's kind of attacking his

1792
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 1: speed or lack thereof. I'm all in, man, I think

1793
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 1: they got their answer right in the backfield, as is right,

1794
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: And I think the most interesting thing about this piece

1795
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 1: is all of the people around him who had promising

1796
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 1: careers in football tragically cut short for one reason or another.

1797
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:13,599
Speaker 1: And he sees that and realizes, you know, it's really

1798
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 1: just fate in a lot of ways. So I'm gonna

1799
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 1: do everything I can to make the most of what

1800
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: I have right now because I've seen so many guys

1801
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:24,960
Speaker 1: have it taken away from them. You're right, Chris, I

1802
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 1: mean we forget that these guys are human beings, right

1803
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 1: like they've got lives off of the field, away from

1804
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:34,840
Speaker 1: our fantasy football lineups. And Devin Singletary, who I mean,

1805
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,680
Speaker 1: start with the two cousins. There's one cousin that a

1806
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: heart problem, was really known as the best quarterback in

1807
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 1: his neighborhood, just destined to be a star in the

1808
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 1: NFL one day. He's never able to live that dream.

1809
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 1: Another cousin, Adrian Witty, did get to the University of

1810
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:53,599
Speaker 1: Cincinnati four four speed, unbelievable cornerback and had two season

1811
01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 1: end injuries, including a leg injury that if you're gonna

1812
01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:00,680
Speaker 1: google Google with with with caution because it's about as

1813
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:02,640
Speaker 1: ugly of an injury as you're gonna see in his

1814
01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:06,560
Speaker 1: NFL dream just died right then. So I think that

1815
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary keeps them always on his mind, that he

1816
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:11,640
Speaker 1: feels like he has to make it for them. And

1817
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 1: then obviously Greg Bryan, I know you've written about their

1818
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:16,639
Speaker 1: relationship as well. Chris and the past. This was his mentor.

1819
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:18,200
Speaker 1: This is the running back at his high school that

1820
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 1: he looked up to, shot and killed and they never

1821
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: really found out who did it down there in Florida.

1822
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:25,679
Speaker 1: He still praised to him all the time and believes,

1823
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's got to make it for him as well.

1824
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:29,559
Speaker 1: He had all kinds of promise, He was an order Dame,

1825
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: transferred to UAB, all kinds of talent, and obviously isn't

1826
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 1: with us anymore. So yeah, I think Devin's Singletary. I'm

1827
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 1: sure we'll get into the football, but beyond that, that's

1828
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 1: all the motivation anybody would ever need. We've all heard about,

1829
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,679
Speaker 1: you know how players you know in their third year

1830
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:46,960
Speaker 1: really come into their own as a prof They're really

1831
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: going to turn into something special. You can really see

1832
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: it in their third year for sure. And this is

1833
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 1: that year for Devin's Singletary along with guys like Dawson

1834
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 1: Knox on this roster and and I remember too as

1835
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 1: a player, your third year is when you finally find

1836
01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 1: your groove of the offseason. You know what to expect,

1837
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 1: you've been around it once before. And then you also

1838
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:10,559
Speaker 1: have a handle on what your deficiencies are as a

1839
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:12,600
Speaker 1: player and what you really need to work on and

1840
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 1: the desire you have to have to work on something

1841
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 1: you're not good at at that level isn't something that's

1842
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:23,560
Speaker 1: just innate. I mean you kind of have to cultivate it.

1843
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,600
Speaker 1: And Devin Singletary seems to be doing that. What has

1844
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 1: he told you about? What's he working on? Why is

1845
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:33,080
Speaker 1: he working on it? You know what's what has got him?

1846
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:38,559
Speaker 1: You know, so motivated to to do this? You're you're right, Steve.

1847
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 1: I mean to be really easy for players to say,

1848
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,599
Speaker 1: I got it all figured out right, I'm talented. All

1849
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 1: that eat is the ball and just get out of

1850
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 1: my way. Um, it takes that willingness to look in

1851
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,160
Speaker 1: the mirror and be like, no, I'm not good at

1852
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 1: this thing, and I've got to attack this thing. And

1853
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: and Devin's Singletary, he was willing to do that. You know,

1854
01:41:55,880 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 1: his agent, Tony Richardson had a relationship with Nick Hicks,

1855
01:41:59,880 --> 01:42:02,880
Speaker 1: was a trainer down to perform in Florida, and he

1856
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 1: knew that this. Nick Hicks really worked wonders with Dalvin Cook,

1857
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:09,679
Speaker 1: with JK. Dobbins last year, He's worked with Jerick McKinnon.

1858
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:11,640
Speaker 1: He has man breed it down there now too, but

1859
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: he really helped Dalvin Cook reach a new level, helped JK.

1860
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:17,479
Speaker 1: Dobbins really gained a burst, an explosion that he didn't

1861
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 1: have an Ohio state. So Devin Singletary gets down there

1862
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: and Nick Hicks he looks at Devin's film and he

1863
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 1: was really blunt with him day one and said, look,

1864
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: you're you're not fast enough, you're not explosive enough. You've

1865
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,559
Speaker 1: got one run over thirty yards. We gotta get after this.

1866
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:32,760
Speaker 1: He got a lot of work to do it, and

1867
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:36,040
Speaker 1: really for him, it started with those cuts. And that

1868
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 1: really is Devin Singletary's greatest strength, right, I mean, he'll

1869
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:41,840
Speaker 1: just joke ye out of a phone with He's unbelievable

1870
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:44,599
Speaker 1: with his moves and always has been. But I think

1871
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: too often in the pros it's been one juke too many,

1872
01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:50,840
Speaker 1: too much dancing. And that's really where they broke it

1873
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:53,559
Speaker 1: down to a science the last two and a half months.

1874
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 1: We're talking now four days a week, two hours a day,

1875
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 1: really kind of just eliminate that dancing, one cut and go,

1876
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 1: and that's the root of the explosion that he believes

1877
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:06,680
Speaker 1: he'll have this year. And and nikkis you know you're

1878
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:08,960
Speaker 1: always gonna tread lightly right, guys, like when you talk

1879
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 1: to a trainer in the off season, and what are

1880
01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:13,600
Speaker 1: they gonna say, Oh, you know, he took ten steps backwards,

1881
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:15,960
Speaker 1: says he's a terrible Like they're not gonna say that.

1882
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 1: I get. I've written a lot of these stories. I'm

1883
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 1: telling you, though, this is about as real as it gets.

1884
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:24,280
Speaker 1: I think that what they're attacking, specifically with Devin Singletary's

1885
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,720
Speaker 1: game down and perform, he is going to be a

1886
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: different player. Yeah, because to me, Tyler, what this is

1887
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 1: addressing with his game specifically, it's not the stop because

1888
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 1: he can put his foot in the ground and guys

1889
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,200
Speaker 1: go flying past him. I still remember him making some

1890
01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 1: people look pretty silly, including Tremaine Edmund's brother in the

1891
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: Sunday night game against Pittsburgh two years ago, where he's

1892
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: not even on the screen anymore. It's not the stop,

1893
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:55,519
Speaker 1: it's the start again. That's the explosion they're trying to

1894
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 1: capture here in his game. Right, you're right, Chris, and

1895
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 1: you can see it. They have a lot of clips.

1896
01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 1: I embedded a few of them into the story. But

1897
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,639
Speaker 1: that what you just said is exactly what they work on.

1898
01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:09,920
Speaker 1: It's one cut and go get north, like, get moving,

1899
01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 1: don't reset, don't lollygag, don't just flap your arms around,

1900
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:17,639
Speaker 1: get moving north. And that's what Devin's Singletary really hasn't

1901
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: done a great job of these last two years. I mean,

1902
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:22,240
Speaker 1: he'll joke you, he'll send you out a frame, he'll

1903
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 1: do all that stuff. But then it's a matter of

1904
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,840
Speaker 1: getting up field. Nick Hicks points to Adrian Peterson a

1905
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:29,760
Speaker 1: lot too. You know, think of an ap at his peak,

1906
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: how he would almost his head would be so low

1907
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:34,880
Speaker 1: to the ground like an airplane kind of taken off

1908
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:37,800
Speaker 1: to generate that power and generate that speed. That's where

1909
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: you can literally get faster too while you're doing this.

1910
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 1: And it sounds all great theory, right they're at they're

1911
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:46,679
Speaker 1: in the lab, they're fixing all these problems. We're only

1912
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 1: going to know really when the pads come on and

1913
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:50,840
Speaker 1: the games begin, because I do think there's two parts

1914
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:53,920
Speaker 1: to this, guys. There's Devin's Singletary, you know, morphing into

1915
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 1: another running back, and then there's the Buffalo Bills maybe

1916
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,720
Speaker 1: finding some more balance. You know, for a good two

1917
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: months at the end of the year that they just

1918
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 1: threw the ball on anybody. I mean that will just

1919
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 1: ran teams off the field. That you get into that

1920
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore game, you get into that Kansas City game, and

1921
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 1: you could tell they needed some kind of presence of

1922
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,519
Speaker 1: a running game. They didn't have it. I think Devin

1923
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 1: Singletary got the sense from coaches that there will be

1924
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:19,000
Speaker 1: more balanced though in twenty twenty one, a lot of

1925
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 1: fans don't really realize what a player thinks about in

1926
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 1: the offseason when they get out there and they'll starting

1927
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 1: and think about things what sticks with them. And one

1928
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: of the things you wrote about that I agreed with

1929
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 1: was most fans don't remember every little plays. Most of

1930
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: them remember some plays and what they remember is like

1931
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 1: for Devin Singletary, that dropping the swing pass in the

1932
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,519
Speaker 1: Kansas City game at the end of the season. Players,

1933
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:42,840
Speaker 1: you know, people think, oh, they're you know they players

1934
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:45,479
Speaker 1: don't think about that. Players think about that more than

1935
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:48,360
Speaker 1: the fans do. Devin Singletary is a prime example that

1936
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 1: you really let that fuel you and you don't run

1937
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 1: from it or hide from it. You really look at

1938
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 1: yourself in the mirror and said, man, that that's on me.

1939
01:45:56,840 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 1: And that really leads to some motivation to never let

1940
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 1: that happen again. And knowing in a place like Devin

1941
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: Singletary is he's going to get another chance at that

1942
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:11,400
Speaker 1: and to have an opportunity to make up for it

1943
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: is really what keeps him going. No doubt it can

1944
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:18,800
Speaker 1: go one or two directions. I mean, he easily could

1945
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 1: just kind of bury that, you know, back in the

1946
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 1: confines of his memory forget about it. And I think

1947
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot of players do that too. They don't want

1948
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 1: to go there that you know that happened, it's over with,

1949
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm done whatever. But but he owns it. He's rewatched

1950
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: to a handful of times and he did the same

1951
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: thing out of that Houston playoff game as well, and

1952
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:38,760
Speaker 1: we all remember that that big, you know, catching Runne

1953
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:41,759
Speaker 1: had in the fourth quarter. It was like thirty eight yards.

1954
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:43,720
Speaker 1: It seemed like an exceptional play, you know, one of

1955
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 1: the best of his career. And he's the first to say,

1956
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, if I go against the grain, if I

1957
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 1: cut against the field, there I might be gone. I

1958
01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 1: mean we're talking fifty sixty yards touchdown. And then they

1959
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: win that game. So I think that that willingness to

1960
01:46:56,640 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 1: really address specific moments that, yeah, it could tick him

1961
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 1: off if he even here's a stranger like me bring

1962
01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: it up. You know, he he owns it and knows. Look,

1963
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:08,320
Speaker 1: that was the reason he was bet Sean McDermot bench.

1964
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 1: He didn't come back into the game until the game

1965
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:13,639
Speaker 1: was over, so you better take that hat on. And

1966
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 1: then I know much was made when he was coming

1967
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 1: out in the draft that you know, and probably one

1968
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 1: of the reasons he was a third round pick is

1969
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 1: because the forty time he was a four to six

1970
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:26,639
Speaker 1: six and I think it's generally accepted around the league

1971
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 1: that he's not a home run hitter that's gonna take

1972
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 1: a four yard play, and if he's get some space

1973
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:32,759
Speaker 1: or acrease, he's gonna go sixty yards for a touchdown.

1974
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 1: But it sounds like him and Nick Kicks have even

1975
01:47:35,120 --> 01:47:38,800
Speaker 1: worked on that. Any idea on where he's at now

1976
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 1: in terms of straight line speed, Yeah, that's that's huge

1977
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,280
Speaker 1: because once you do make that cut, once you get north,

1978
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 1: now you have to outrun everybody. Like it hasn't been

1979
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 1: a part of his game. I do think the four

1980
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:55,680
Speaker 1: to six six it's really really bad. But at his

1981
01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:59,040
Speaker 1: training complex out of college, they didn't even work on

1982
01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:01,080
Speaker 1: the forty at all, which is kind of crazy. I

1983
01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:03,439
Speaker 1: think it was Michael Johnson's spot down in Texas, I

1984
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 1: mean really popular spot, and he didn't even really work

1985
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: on the forty. So yeah, well that's it would have

1986
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:10,679
Speaker 1: been better than that. But he does need to find

1987
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:14,640
Speaker 1: that extra gear to run past the DBS. How do

1988
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 1: you do that? It's that Adrian Peterson stuff. It's that

1989
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:20,880
Speaker 1: getting load to the ground and driving forward and really

1990
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 1: using that arm pump. Nobody taught Devin Singletary how to

1991
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 1: run like ever, Nick Kicks said in his entire life,

1992
01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:30,720
Speaker 1: So they've literally taught him how to run this offseason,

1993
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:33,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of that is pumping your arms violently

1994
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 1: like Adrian Peterson, because the legs are gonna follow, you know,

1995
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 1: the every bone is connected, your your entire body's gonna

1996
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 1: be all in sync. So they have been working on

1997
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,479
Speaker 1: that a ton, and like you said, it will only

1998
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:47,640
Speaker 1: know when the games begin. But if you listen to

1999
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 1: knick kicks, this is a twelve hundred yard back. That's

2000
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot faster, a heck of a

2001
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 1: lot more explosive. And the Bills they're getting just a

2002
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: brand new player in year three. Yeah, I'm just wondering

2003
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,639
Speaker 1: if if he was confident enough to throw a number

2004
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 1: at you like four, five, five or four or five,

2005
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 1: Like is he feeling that good where he threw a

2006
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 1: number out at you, like look at me in the

2007
01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 1: four fives or I don't know high four four is?

2008
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:13,559
Speaker 1: I mean, where are we going with this? I got

2009
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 1: the stat out of him the twelve yards. They should

2010
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:17,960
Speaker 1: have got that four or four out all right? They

2011
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:22,880
Speaker 1: do time everything though you're yeah, we're talking to Tyler

2012
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:27,599
Speaker 1: Dunn off golongtd dot com. You had another article on

2013
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 1: your list of you know, there's a ton of stuff

2014
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 1: on this website and you did a Q and A

2015
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:38,880
Speaker 1: with an offensive lineman from Alabama, Landon Dickerson. Um, tell

2016
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 1: us what you glean from that. Maybe outside of what

2017
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 1: I could read in the article we've talked Brownie and

2018
01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 1: Eye about. You know, obviously there's an edge rusher in

2019
01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 1: the on the horizon for the Bills. Maybe in the draft,

2020
01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:51,920
Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna be a cornerback, maybe it's gonna be

2021
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 1: Travis at in the running back. But for us, we

2022
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: think offensive line is still a viable choice for the

2023
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:02,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and Landon Dickerson seems to be a guy

2024
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 1: that's interesting, particularly since he's kind of an old lineman,

2025
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 1: not really a tackle or a center or a guard

2026
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:12,720
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. You're right, Steve, I mean, it's

2027
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of like we haven't talked much about the offensive line.

2028
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you guys have. I hadn't really

2029
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,600
Speaker 1: thought about it until I talked to Landon Dickerson. But

2030
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:21,479
Speaker 1: when you got Josh Allen, you're gonna be giving him

2031
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Most likely it would be smart

2032
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: to just add a versatile lineman like a Landon Dickerson, who,

2033
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: like you said, place center playguard, originally came in as

2034
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 1: a tackle. Scouts had described him as The Mountain and

2035
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,920
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, which for all the Thrones fans out there,

2036
01:50:37,040 --> 01:50:38,600
Speaker 1: you just hope it doesn't end like it did for

2037
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:40,800
Speaker 1: The Mountain. But you get up to that terrible season night,

2038
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:42,720
Speaker 1: you should be in pretty good shape. I mean, I

2039
01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 1: feel like this would be a great move for the Bills.

2040
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: Just keep protecting Josh Allen. We saw what's happened with

2041
01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks that just don't have a solidified offensive line.

2042
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:55,759
Speaker 1: I mean Andrew Luck he retired. I mean Deshaun Watson.

2043
01:50:55,760 --> 01:50:57,200
Speaker 1: I know he's got a lot of other stuff going

2044
01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,639
Speaker 1: on in his life, but with the Texans, that line

2045
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:02,640
Speaker 1: has been mostly a disaster. So you don't want your

2046
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:05,320
Speaker 1: quarterback or running rounders. I mean, there's other quarterback, Russell Wilson.

2047
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:07,000
Speaker 1: He wants to get out of Seattle. He's demanded a

2048
01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:09,559
Speaker 1: trade because he's tired of getting sacked. So it would

2049
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 1: be smart if you're the Bills to just take the

2050
01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 1: best lineman if he's there. Maybe that is Land at Dickerson,

2051
01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:18,760
Speaker 1: somebody who had a ton of injuries at Florida State.

2052
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 1: You know, both ankles gets to Alabama though his name

2053
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:24,719
Speaker 1: the best lineman for the best center of the country

2054
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 1: wins a national championship. Can't see how he could go

2055
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:30,280
Speaker 1: wrong with an offensive lineman in the first round, as

2056
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,799
Speaker 1: as uninteresting and unexcited as that might be for fans

2057
01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 1: this time of year. What is the update on him

2058
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:39,920
Speaker 1: with his latest injury though? Is he Do we know

2059
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:43,639
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be ready for the twenty twenty one

2060
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 1: season because I thought he had a knee injury in

2061
01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:50,880
Speaker 1: the conference title game. You know, we talked pretty early

2062
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 1: on I mean I just ran that this week, so

2063
01:51:54,439 --> 01:51:56,519
Speaker 1: you know, I should should give him a call and

2064
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:58,679
Speaker 1: check in on that. But it has been just about

2065
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,040
Speaker 1: everything for him, and that would give you some pause.

2066
01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to bring in damage goods.

2067
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:06,439
Speaker 1: We've seen that backfire in the past. But when I

2068
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:08,559
Speaker 1: talk to him, he seemed to be pretty confident they'd

2069
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:11,920
Speaker 1: be good to go. All right, awesome? And then is

2070
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 1: there an event that you are a part of? Is

2071
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:17,200

01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 1: want to try to bring fans as close to this

2090
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 1: game as humanly possible. They deserve it. It's the most

2091
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:15,040
Speaker 1: popular game on Earth. Yeah, I feel like the human

2092
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,759
Speaker 1: side of its kind of lost, you know in social

2093
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:20,920
Speaker 1: media and the way we all consume news today. So

2094
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:24,479
Speaker 1: whether it's the storytelling or these Zoom hangouts, I'm hoping

2095
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:26,439
Speaker 1: to make that happen. And also I should mention Jim

2096
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 1: oonas former Bills director personnel who should be hired by

2097
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,360
Speaker 1: a team very soon because he's way too smart to

2098
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:35,240
Speaker 1: be hanging out with me doing a podcast. He'll be

2099
01:53:35,280 --> 01:53:37,519
Speaker 1: there at Hamburg tonight and he'll be on those zooms

2100
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 1: as well. He's just an awesome, awesome guy. Well, before

2101
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 1: we let you go, I gotta run this by. We've

2102
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:43,880
Speaker 1: got a Twitter poll out and we're asking people what

2103
01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: their biggest concern with Round one of the draft is

2104
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:48,960
Speaker 1: in relation to the Buffalo Bills. There's three choices. A

2105
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:52,400
Speaker 1: is it finding an immediate impact players that your biggest concern?

2106
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 1: Or is it that you're gonna wait up all night

2107
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:55,400
Speaker 1: and the Bills are going to trade out of the

2108
01:53:55,439 --> 01:53:57,400
Speaker 1: first round and you have to go to bed late

2109
01:53:57,439 --> 01:54:01,040
Speaker 1: with with no satisfaction. Or is it that the AFC

2110
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 1: East teams that highlight Round one closed the gap on

2111
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What's your choice between those three or

2112
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 1: is it something else? What's your biggest concern with Round

2113
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 1: one of the draft concerning Buffalo? I like that poll

2114
01:54:16,080 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with number three there. I could

2115
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:22,639
Speaker 1: be dead wrong on this, but man Zach Wilson b YU,

2116
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: I feel like his game just translates so well, you know,

2117
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 1: talking to one of his coaches just about their offense,

2118
01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 1: about his game, how he improvises, and how creative he is.

2119
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:34,520
Speaker 1: It's not Johnny Menzel running around like a chicken with

2120
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 1: his head cut off, chucking it up to Mike Evans

2121
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:42,200
Speaker 1: against Alabama. It's specific plays in specific moments that he

2122
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:45,520
Speaker 1: does rely on that athleticism and that freakish arm talent.

2123
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he pointed to a play in the two

2124
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:51,760
Speaker 1: minute drill against Texas State. I get it. Texas State, Okay,

2125
01:54:51,840 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 1: not exactly Alabama, but he knew in this Tampa two

2126
01:54:55,880 --> 01:55:00,640
Speaker 1: look that that backside safety wouldn't follow him or would

2127
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:03,440
Speaker 1: follow him when he rolled one direction, and he said, hey, coach,

2128
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:05,879
Speaker 1: I can throw it, you know, off my back foot

2129
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 1: across the field to a wide open receiver, you know,

2130
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,040
Speaker 1: fifty yards the other direction. That's exactly what he did.

2131
01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:13,440
Speaker 1: It's that kind of stuff that looks crazy on film,

2132
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:16,320
Speaker 1: I think, but when you had the thought process behind it,

2133
01:55:16,760 --> 01:55:18,840
Speaker 1: you hate to compare anybody to Patrick Mahomes. I'm not

2134
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:22,400
Speaker 1: saying he's Patrick Mahomes, but it's mahomes ish, right. That's

2135
01:55:22,400 --> 01:55:24,720
Speaker 1: what we all missed with Mahomes, the fact that all

2136
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:27,560
Speaker 1: that crazy stuff he did, there was a method to

2137
01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:30,720
Speaker 1: his madness. So I think there is That was Zach Wilson.

2138
01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:33,440
Speaker 1: And if he if he goes to the Jets, Granted

2139
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:35,880
Speaker 1: it's a curse position with the Jets. They haven't had

2140
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback really since Joe Namath, but I think he

2141
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 1: does end the curse. I think this guy's really really good. Yeah.

2142
01:55:41,480 --> 01:55:43,360
Speaker 1: I know what they do like about him is his

2143
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 1: ability to make off platform throws and he's probably gonna

2144
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:48,480
Speaker 1: have to do that unless the Jets draft three offensive

2145
01:55:48,520 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 1: linemen in this draft, which they may draft one maybe two.

2146
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:53,160
Speaker 1: And I know they got becked in the big old

2147
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:55,320
Speaker 1: fell on the left side, but yeah, they gotta they

2148
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 1: gotta get to him some protection too, because otherwise he's

2149
01:55:57,800 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna be making a lot of his throats off platform.

2150
01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:05,160
Speaker 1: For sure. It's crazy, Tyler, It's true, that's true. Thanks

2151
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 1: for all the time, Enjoy the draft and we'll catch

2152
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:10,000
Speaker 1: up with you soon. All right, Thanks for the time,

2153
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:13,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Tyler, anytime. Guys, thanks so much for having me on.

2154
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:17,880
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Have fun. Yeah, that's Tyler Dunn, founder and

2155
01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 1: lead writer on golongtd dot com. Really good story on

2156
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:27,960
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. UM to get the sense not only as

2157
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:31,600
Speaker 1: to you know, what's gonna have Devin motivated coming back

2158
01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:35,560
Speaker 1: here for year three, but all of the work that

2159
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:39,680
Speaker 1: he's putting in right now to make himself more explosive,

2160
01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 1: a more sudden type player. So he's not just about

2161
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 1: being elusive, He's about being elusive and then gaining yardage

2162
01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 1: after it shakes somebody out of their shoes. It's one

2163
01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:53,680
Speaker 1: of the things that the only the only thing you

2164
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:59,120
Speaker 1: cannot coach is height. You can't coach a guy to

2165
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 1: be taller. You can coach him to be stronger, faster, quicker,

2166
01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 1: more explosive. Uh you can. You can train him that

2167
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:08,360
Speaker 1: he knows things he didn't know. You can. You can

2168
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 1: teach him about the game. Uh you can. You can

2169
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:18,840
Speaker 1: train to do anything better. And Devin Singletary has really

2170
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: attacked this from the point of here's what they're saying

2171
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,680
Speaker 1: about me, here's why they're saying it, Here's where I

2172
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 1: need to get better. And you know that is the

2173
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 1: and it goes back to the culture and the kind

2174
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 1: of guys that McDermott and Brandon being looked for. They

2175
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 1: want guys that have a growth mindset. Devin Singletary, you

2176
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 1: read this article, that's it comes in increasingly clear. That's

2177
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:43,840
Speaker 1: exactly what this is. And he is the kind of

2178
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:48,200
Speaker 1: guy whose mindset is correct as the Bills see it.

2179
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:52,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't take card hard coaching and get insulted. He

2180
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:54,480
Speaker 1: takes hard coaching and says, this is a way to

2181
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:57,600
Speaker 1: get better, right, And not everybody does that coming out

2182
01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:01,560
Speaker 1: of college because a lot of these super talented players

2183
01:58:02,320 --> 01:58:04,760
Speaker 1: from the age of ten have been told they're the

2184
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:07,520
Speaker 1: greatest thing since slice bread. So when somebody comes up

2185
01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:09,880
Speaker 1: to him at the NFL level and says, yeah, that

2186
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 1: ain't working. You got to be better at this, this

2187
01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:14,720
Speaker 1: and this, they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought I

2188
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:16,720
Speaker 1: was the greatest thing since slice bread. And they don't

2189
01:58:16,760 --> 01:58:19,000
Speaker 1: handle it the right way. That's right. McDermot and Bean

2190
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:21,480
Speaker 1: don't want those kinds of players because of that. You've

2191
01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 1: got a guy in Singletary who's committed to put the

2192
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: work in to get better. Yeah, that and that's what

2193
01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:30,200
Speaker 1: it's all about. That you will get guys who get better.

2194
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,800
Speaker 1: We were talking about it earlier in the show. Smart

2195
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 1: guys who are committed to it get better in a

2196
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:39,280
Speaker 1: lot of different ways. Josh Adda is a perfect example.

2197
01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is a great example. You can there are

2198
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:46,760
Speaker 1: tons of them everywhere, and that's what Devin. That's right.

2199
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:52,800
Speaker 1: That's the trajectory that Devin Singletary is on, and it's

2200
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 1: due to his ability to see himself with a clear

2201
01:58:56,360 --> 01:59:01,360
Speaker 1: view and not give himself any benefits of the doubt.

2202
01:59:02,960 --> 01:59:05,240
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of hard work. And these guys

2203
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:07,360
Speaker 1: that you hear about it, guy, Hey, Josh Allen took

2204
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:09,160
Speaker 1: this group of guys out and they were throwing seven

2205
01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:11,240
Speaker 1: on seven all that, and it sounds, hey, that's great.

2206
01:59:11,240 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: Those guys are out there, you know, playing catch, and

2207
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:18,120
Speaker 1: they're not playing catch. They're running hard routes and throwing

2208
01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 1: the football hard and catching it and working hard on it.

2209
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:22,800
Speaker 1: And they're talking about it and the details of it

2210
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:24,640
Speaker 1: and what they're thinking and why they're doing it and

2211
01:59:24,640 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: why he made this move with his head and all that.

2212
01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary's putting a lot of sweat and effort into

2213
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:34,600
Speaker 1: making himself physically better than he has been and that

2214
01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:36,680
Speaker 1: takes a lot of hard work. I mean, we're not

2215
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,160
Speaker 1: talking about dropping five pounds in a couple of weeks.

2216
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 1: We're talking about getting faster for the rest of his career.

2217
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:46,839
Speaker 1: Sitting there, they dropped his body fat to like five percent.

2218
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be ripped up. The fact that

2219
01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:51,840
Speaker 1: it was above five percent tells you a lot about

2220
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: where he started. You had guys it on natural ability.

2221
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 1: Nobody taught him about a run. I had guys, I mean,

2222
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:04,560
Speaker 1: my a body fat was well below five percent. That's

2223
02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 1: a in this day and age, that's something most of

2224
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 1: these guys come out must at a skill position. Not

2225
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 1: only is it, most of these guys are like, what

2226
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:16,000
Speaker 1: what do you mean? What what's that? How do you

2227
02:00:16,080 --> 02:00:18,080
Speaker 1: check that? What do you do? How do I find out?

2228
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 1: They've never you know, you go to CFU or what

2229
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:25,320
Speaker 1: do you think those guys are Central Florida or you

2230
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:28,480
Speaker 1: know you think they're doing that. They don't have to

2231
02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:30,760
Speaker 1: have a po bod pod or any of that. And

2232
02:00:30,840 --> 02:00:32,440
Speaker 1: not only that, they don't even know how to get

2233
02:00:32,440 --> 02:00:34,520
Speaker 1: it done or what it means if they can get

2234
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 1: it done. Um, and it's something that writ and you know,

2235
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:41,560
Speaker 1: we've all tried to lose five or ten pounds, like

2236
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:44,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, try try that doing what

2237
02:00:44,920 --> 02:00:49,680
Speaker 1: these guys are doing it is hard to do, hard

2238
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 1: to do. Break time for us. When we come back,

2241
02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:57,880

Speaker 1: the NFL Draft tomorrow night. That and if we have

2245
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:09,640
Speaker 1: a little time a little NFL true false for you.

2246
02:01:09,920 --> 02:01:12,560
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live presented by Kalata Health. It's Buffalo

2247
02:01:12,600 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Back here on One Bills Live. Time to

2248
02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:30,720
Speaker 1: hit up the tweet sheet to find out your thoughts

2249
02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:33,840
Speaker 1: on your biggest concern with regard to Round one of

2250
02:01:33,880 --> 02:01:36,360
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft tomorrow night. We are up to Devon,

2251
02:01:36,440 --> 02:01:41,120
Speaker 1: who says I chose C which was oh no. We

2252
02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:45,720
Speaker 1: already read Devon's comment because he said he's worried about

2253
02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:47,960
Speaker 1: the AFC. He's closing the gap. He said, I really

2254
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:50,120
Speaker 1: believe in Justin Fields, would really prefer he doesn't end

2255
02:01:50,200 --> 02:01:52,640
Speaker 1: up in New England. Also, Miami having multiple first rounders

2256
02:01:52,640 --> 02:01:55,200
Speaker 1: and the ability to add a top offensive weapon could

2257
02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:58,320
Speaker 1: start to close the gap. So Nick says from a

2258
02:01:58,360 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 1: team perspective, I'm concerned about finding someone who will make

2259
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:03,600
Speaker 1: an immediate impact. Pick thirty basically feels like a second

2260
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:07,000
Speaker 1: round pick. From a personal perspective, I'm worried that I'll

2261
02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:09,760
Speaker 1: wait in suspense for two hours just to watch us

2262
02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:12,640
Speaker 1: not pick anyone in trade back. That would be a downer.

2263
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, Bills fans are all jazz. Hey, who are

2264
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:16,800
Speaker 1: we gonna get to add to this team that made

2265
02:02:16,800 --> 02:02:21,240
Speaker 1: it to the AFC title game? We have a trade, right?

2266
02:02:21,560 --> 02:02:26,040
Speaker 1: You know? The Philadelphia Eagles will now pick thirtieth overall

2267
02:02:26,440 --> 02:02:31,720
Speaker 1: following a trade with the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, what son

2268
02:02:31,800 --> 02:02:37,879
Speaker 1: of a nutcracker? Gotta wait till tomorrow if it happens.

2269
02:02:37,880 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 1: And what you're talking about is for the Bills there,

2270
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:44,440
Speaker 1: they'd go from thirty to thirty seven. If it's thirty

2271
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:47,080
Speaker 1: seven and I think you get I think that's good

2272
02:02:47,160 --> 02:02:51,880
Speaker 1: enough to get you a four, Well you have to

2273
02:02:51,920 --> 02:02:55,880
Speaker 1: go down further to get it. Yeah, three. Yeah, they

2274
02:02:55,880 --> 02:02:58,240
Speaker 1: could trade back with Philly it go back five, or

2275
02:02:58,240 --> 02:03:00,920
Speaker 1: they could trade back a few spots and get Atlanta

2276
02:03:00,920 --> 02:03:03,160
Speaker 1: maybe unless somebody falls into the Only thing that's not

2277
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:06,560
Speaker 1: attractive about going that far down in round two is

2278
02:03:06,600 --> 02:03:12,280
Speaker 1: you pick behind the Jets and Dolphins again again, so

2279
02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:16,000
Speaker 1: those two teams will have picked three times before you've

2280
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:18,680
Speaker 1: picked once. I think that would be the only deterrent

2281
02:03:19,160 --> 02:03:23,360
Speaker 1: to going back. Yeah that, yes, I get it, but

2282
02:03:23,440 --> 02:03:27,560
Speaker 1: it's you can't worry about those teams because you can't.

2283
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:29,360
Speaker 1: You can only worry about it's best for you. Got

2284
02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:31,880
Speaker 1: to do it's best for you, and getting an extra

2285
02:03:31,960 --> 02:03:35,840
Speaker 1: fourth gives you a chance. Although you'll get a good

2286
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:37,800
Speaker 1: player at four, you'll get a guy that's got a

2287
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:41,720
Speaker 1: chance to maybe grow and into a really good player

2288
02:03:41,800 --> 02:03:43,440
Speaker 1: in a year, or who knows to be a very

2289
02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:47,800
Speaker 1: pleasant surprise, like Gabriel Davis exactly, or Matt Milano or

2290
02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:52,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys. Because the premium that the Bills

2291
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 1: place on their guys that they want are inherently guys

2292
02:03:57,160 --> 02:04:00,000
Speaker 1: who get better fast. They're the kind of guys I've

2293
02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:02,600
Speaker 1: talked about before that seemed to thrive at the NFL

2294
02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:07,200
Speaker 1: level rather than wilt. You know what I'm saying. So

2295
02:04:08,440 --> 02:04:10,640
Speaker 1: I like you know that philosophy gives the Bills a

2296
02:04:10,720 --> 02:04:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of a better spin on their late round draft

2297
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:15,600
Speaker 1: picks than other teams. So yeah, an extra four I

2298
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 1: could go with, um, we were talking just before we

2299
02:04:18,760 --> 02:04:21,280
Speaker 1: went to where we're at break about what we're gonna

2300
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:24,920
Speaker 1: do tomorrow before the draft. Mike, I'm thinking, and I

2301
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:28,400
Speaker 1: don't let's do that. Let's do that. Let's do what

2302
02:04:28,440 --> 02:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I said we will yet and what we're saying, well,

2303
02:04:32,040 --> 02:04:34,920
Speaker 1: here we go. We're gonna have you call us or

2304
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 1: text us or tweet us tomorrow tomorrow, not now tomorrow.

2305
02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:43,320
Speaker 1: What's your best guess if the Bills pick at thirty,

2306
02:04:43,520 --> 02:04:45,600
Speaker 1: who's it going to be? Give us the guy and why?

2307
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean we know the why well, because we'll probably

2308
02:04:48,520 --> 02:04:52,200
Speaker 1: know the guy too, tell us why? Yeah, And that's

2309
02:04:52,240 --> 02:04:54,040
Speaker 1: what we're gonna Brownie and now are gonna come up

2310
02:04:54,040 --> 02:04:55,960
Speaker 1: with the guys we think that the Bills have a

2311
02:04:56,000 --> 02:04:59,840
Speaker 1: shot at grabbing that are and I think we'll both

2312
02:04:59,840 --> 02:05:01,840
Speaker 1: go with exactly you know, a guy we think will

2313
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 1: be there. So we're gonna do that tomorrow. And I'm

2314
02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:08,520
Speaker 1: because we could go through and he and I could

2315
02:05:08,560 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: trade turns to going first pick of the draft, second

2316
02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:12,280
Speaker 1: pick of the day, all the way down through thirty.

2317
02:05:12,280 --> 02:05:14,720
Speaker 1: And I am, I am We're done with my draft.

2318
02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:18,480
Speaker 1: I am ready to vomitt mock drafts. I get it.

2319
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:21,080
Speaker 1: So I'm done with that, Tiffany on the tweet sheet

2320
02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:24,400
Speaker 1: concerning today's topic, your biggest concern with Round one tomorrow,

2321
02:05:24,800 --> 02:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm most concerned that Justin Fields falls to the Pats.

2322
02:05:28,880 --> 02:05:31,839
Speaker 1: He sure looks to be the total package with size, speed,

2323
02:05:32,000 --> 02:05:34,440
Speaker 1: solid arm, and most importantly, he's a leader. He checks

2324
02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:37,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the boxes that an elite QB needs

2325
02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:39,760
Speaker 1: to succeed in the NFL. Yeah. I don't like that

2326
02:05:39,840 --> 02:05:44,040
Speaker 1: prospect either. Yeah. I would say the number one thing

2327
02:05:44,080 --> 02:05:47,320
Speaker 1: I do not want in Round one tomorrow is the

2328
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:50,680
Speaker 1: Patriots to get a quarterback. Number one. You want to

2329
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:52,800
Speaker 1: get one in the second round, knock yourself out. You

2330
02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:55,120
Speaker 1: can have Kyle Trask all day long. You can have

2331
02:05:55,200 --> 02:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Kellen Mond, you can have seven Kellen Monds. Go ahead.

2332
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't want them getting one of the top four

2333
02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:02,600
Speaker 1: or five unless it's one of those, unless it's Elmer

2334
02:06:02,680 --> 02:06:05,280
Speaker 1: Fudd or Daffy Duck, I don't mind. I don't want

2335
02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:08,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots getting a quarterback. So I'm with Tiffany. I

2336
02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 1: don't want that. I don't want that at all. And

2337
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:14,520
Speaker 1: because we've they were hard to beat last year with

2338
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Cam Newton struggling to throw it. Yeah, if they get

2339
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:23,480
Speaker 1: somebody for instance, if the Niners cross everybody up and

2340
02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:27,720
Speaker 1: they take Justin Fields now Lance and mac Jones, and

2341
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:33,400
Speaker 1: mac Jones falls to the Patriots, that scares me a

2342
02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:36,560
Speaker 1: little bit. That's not good. But it's not as bad, right,

2343
02:06:36,600 --> 02:06:39,520
Speaker 1: you know where mac Jones is gonna be. Yeah, but

2344
02:06:39,640 --> 02:06:41,480
Speaker 1: you know we've we've been down that road with a

2345
02:06:41,560 --> 02:06:46,000
Speaker 1: pure pocket passer with New England before and it has

2346
02:06:46,040 --> 02:06:49,360
Speaker 1: not turned out well for us. So Jack Jack on

2347
02:06:49,400 --> 02:06:52,080
Speaker 1: the tweet sheets says, I understand moving back if they do,

2348
02:06:52,160 --> 02:06:54,960
Speaker 1: but personally, I'll be so bummed to watch the whole

2349
02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:58,280
Speaker 1: first round finally beyond the clock at eleven thirty PM

2350
02:06:58,520 --> 02:07:01,640
Speaker 1: for the Bills to just bounce from day one. I

2351
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:03,520
Speaker 1: hope they have the courage to stay at thirty and

2352
02:07:03,560 --> 02:07:07,040
Speaker 1: pick the best athlete available. Also hope the Pats don't

2353
02:07:07,040 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 1: get a QB. I'm telling you that fear is real.

2354
02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:12,160
Speaker 1: It's real, and it's and it's and it's valid. The

2355
02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:15,600
Speaker 1: possibility is real. Yeah, because you know that's what the

2356
02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Patriots are thinking about. They're gonna get done. We talked

2357
02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 1: about that yesterday. It's quarterback or bus draft for them,

2358
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:22,520
Speaker 1: and really I agree, and I think they want to

2359
02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:24,200
Speaker 1: get this as high as they can to get the

2360
02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:27,640
Speaker 1: best one available that they can, and that means one

2361
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:31,000
Speaker 1: of these five guys, and I there's every chance this

2362
02:07:31,040 --> 02:07:33,240
Speaker 1: could be a historic draft in that respect. We're five

2363
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:35,160
Speaker 1: guys should go in the top ten picks of this draft.

2364
02:07:35,200 --> 02:07:38,400
Speaker 1: Certainly there we believe. And there's every three of them

2365
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:42,160
Speaker 1: are going one, two, three, which has happened like a

2366
02:07:42,240 --> 02:07:46,200
Speaker 1: couple of times two or three times one, two and three. Yeah,

2367
02:07:46,240 --> 02:07:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if. I don't know if it's ever happened. Wait,

2368
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think now, it's never gone one, two,

2369
02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:52,640
Speaker 1: three four. I just had that in front of me,

2370
02:07:52,640 --> 02:07:54,080
Speaker 1: and I can't remember what it was. Has happened In

2371
02:07:54,080 --> 02:07:58,680
Speaker 1: the eighteen draft they went Mayfield one, Darnold three. Who

2372
02:07:58,680 --> 02:08:00,880
Speaker 1: the heck was the second pick eighteen? I can't even

2373
02:08:00,920 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: remember now it was. It wasn't another quarterback, was it?

2374
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:12,520
Speaker 1: Thank you? Okay? Yeah, all right, I don't know if

2375
02:08:12,520 --> 02:08:15,160
Speaker 1: that's happened. Oh no, it's the top four that would be,

2376
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:17,200
Speaker 1: or is it the top three? It might be one,

2377
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:19,400
Speaker 1: two three, That might be the first time ever. It

2378
02:08:19,560 --> 02:08:21,600
Speaker 1: might I think it is. I'm looking. I think it's

2379
02:08:21,600 --> 02:08:23,600
Speaker 1: going to be and I know five in the top

2380
02:08:23,640 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 1: ten has never happened either, so that would be a first.

2381
02:08:26,640 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of firsts that could be had

2382
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:33,320
Speaker 1: right in this year's draft. Uh from Ray on the

2383
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:36,360
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, I voted other. I trust the Bills to

2384
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:38,560
Speaker 1: find a good player. I'm not worried about the rest

2385
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:41,000
Speaker 1: of the division, and if the Bills trade out, it

2386
02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:43,760
Speaker 1: means more good players. Well. Ray has a very sunny

2387
02:08:43,800 --> 02:08:47,400
Speaker 1: disposition and an outlook on the draft, doesn't he nothing's

2388
02:08:47,400 --> 02:08:51,480
Speaker 1: wrong here, We're all good. Well, yeah, all right, Ray,

2389
02:08:52,120 --> 02:08:55,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing. He's a ray of sunshine. That's the

2390
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:57,480
Speaker 1: ray that he is. Most quarters put that out looks

2391
02:08:58,120 --> 02:09:00,720
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks draft in the top six. Thanks for making

2392
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:03,080
Speaker 1: me feel better, Ray, it's righting my whole day. Twenty

2393
02:09:03,160 --> 02:09:06,360
Speaker 1: twenty was Joe Burrow first to a Tonga VLOA five

2394
02:09:06,480 --> 02:09:09,920
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert six ninety nine. Nineteen ninety nine, Tim

2395
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Couch first, Donovan at Nabb's second, Achille Smith third. Oh,

2396
02:09:13,240 --> 02:09:15,520
Speaker 1: so it has happened one, two, three, Jim Plunkett. Those

2397
02:09:15,520 --> 02:09:18,200
Speaker 1: are two misses, by the way, Jim Plunkett first, Archie

2398
02:09:18,280 --> 02:09:21,720
Speaker 1: Manning second, Dan Pastorini third, nineteen seventy one. So it's

2399
02:09:21,720 --> 02:09:24,520
Speaker 1: got to be the first four picks. Nineteen four, it

2400
02:09:24,600 --> 02:09:29,080
Speaker 1: happened Bobby Garrett, Lamar Mhatt, McCann and Scotton Davidson who

2401
02:09:29,280 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 1: forty nineteen forty eight, Harry Gilmer, Bobby Lane and y

2402
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:36,440
Speaker 1: A Tittle. So there you go. So it's happened most

2403
02:09:36,480 --> 02:09:40,680
Speaker 1: recently in nineteen ninety nine, one, two and three, Tim Couch,

2404
02:09:40,760 --> 02:09:45,680
Speaker 1: Donovan McNab Achieley Smith. They're batting three thirty three. Stephen

2405
02:09:45,880 --> 02:09:49,360
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, as far as option be goes,

2406
02:09:50,320 --> 02:09:53,280
Speaker 1: save a thought for those of us in Scotland watching

2407
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:55,960
Speaker 1: the draft. It starts at one am and it will

2408
02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 1: finish around five. So he doesn't want to see the

2409
02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:01,840
Speaker 1: bills trade outs Scottish accent. That's the best I can do,

2410
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:04,120
Speaker 1: all right. I hope nobody was offended by that. I

2411
02:10:04,160 --> 02:10:07,240
Speaker 1: apologize if you were. I was. If they trade out,

2412
02:10:07,360 --> 02:10:11,000
Speaker 1: it's crap, That's what Steven says. He doesn't want to

2413
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:12,840
Speaker 1: wait until five in the morning only to see him

2414
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:15,160
Speaker 1: not picked. I well, listen, you're in the boat with

2415
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 1: all of this. I want to see who the new

2416
02:10:16,360 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 1: member of the family is, you know, because that's what

2417
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:22,840
Speaker 1: it is. This guy first round draft pick. There ain't

2418
02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:24,720
Speaker 1: no get it's like, you know, they ain't no getting

2419
02:10:24,760 --> 02:10:26,960
Speaker 1: rid of them. You know you're gonna you're gonna live

2420
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:28,720
Speaker 1: with this one for a while. So you we hope

2421
02:10:28,720 --> 02:10:32,400
Speaker 1: we love the guy, right, we hope. It's just who's

2422
02:10:32,480 --> 02:10:36,120
Speaker 1: not the dog that you could take back? Yeah, that's right.

2423
02:10:36,560 --> 02:10:38,880
Speaker 1: You gotta live with the tour apart my furniture. I'd

2424
02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:40,360
Speaker 1: like to return and play. And it's either and you

2425
02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:42,160
Speaker 1: think about it, it's either thumbs up with e go

2426
02:10:42,280 --> 02:10:48,000
Speaker 1: back like John McCargo. You know, Aaron Maybin was he first,

2427
02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:51,800
Speaker 1: he was he was the eleventh pick. And think about

2428
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:55,360
Speaker 1: the guys we had, didn't you know mcgahey, even Dante

2429
02:10:55,400 --> 02:11:00,560
Speaker 1: Whitnes ain't. Overall, it's tough. It's you know, it's a

2430
02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:04,879
Speaker 1: hard it's a hard spot now from from go Billers

2431
02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:09,920
Speaker 1: one thousand percent answer B. I've been worried about it

2432
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:11,920
Speaker 1: for a while because I'll be watching to see if

2433
02:11:11,920 --> 02:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the Pats get a QB, what Miami does, and to

2434
02:11:14,040 --> 02:11:16,839
Speaker 1: see if the Jets pick a fullback at number two.

2435
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:19,520
Speaker 1: But still, I'll scream so loud if I watch how

2436
02:11:19,560 --> 02:11:21,440
Speaker 1: the first round plays out all the way to thirty,

2437
02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:25,440
Speaker 1: just to see Jacksonville's third pick. He does not want

2438
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:28,440
Speaker 1: to trade out. There is a lot of anticipation, especially

2439
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:30,520
Speaker 1: when you're waiting all the way to thirty. So the

2440
02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Bills trade out, it's gonna be it's gonna be frustrating

2441
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:36,120
Speaker 1: Bills fans. You may have to be even more patient

2442
02:11:36,160 --> 02:11:39,320
Speaker 1: than you think. We'll see break time here, Steve and

2443
02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:43,040
Speaker 1: I to close it up on Draft Eve on One

2444
02:11:43,080 --> 02:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2445
02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:01,880
Speaker 1: What have we learned, brock to you by Skyworks, the

2446
02:12:01,960 --> 02:12:06,080
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Well,

2447
02:12:06,120 --> 02:12:09,000
Speaker 1: we learned that Teddy Bridgewater is now a Denver Bronco.

2448
02:12:09,520 --> 02:12:12,400
Speaker 1: He learned that today as he was shipped off by

2449
02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:16,920
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers after they acquired Sam Darnold and did

2450
02:12:16,920 --> 02:12:19,080
Speaker 1: it for just a sixth round pick. And the Broncos

2451
02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,879
Speaker 1: even got Bridgewaters salary to be partially paid by the Panthers.

2452
02:12:22,960 --> 02:12:25,280
Speaker 1: And let me just chime in once again and say,

2453
02:12:25,320 --> 02:12:27,480
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos should still get one of the

2454
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:30,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are up there. You gotta find that guy.

2455
02:12:30,840 --> 02:12:33,840
Speaker 1: They gotta find that Teddy Bridgewater that he wasn't the

2456
02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: answer for the Vikings. He wasn't the answer for the

2457
02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:38,640
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Why would he be the answer for the

2458
02:12:38,680 --> 02:12:42,360
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. You gotta get a guy. Let Teddy mentor

2459
02:12:42,440 --> 02:12:45,600
Speaker 1: the next guy in there after being around the block

2460
02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:49,400
Speaker 1: like he has been, quality teammate, quality guy. Let him

2461
02:12:49,440 --> 02:12:52,480
Speaker 1: play for a year. But you gotta draft the guy now. Okay,

2462
02:12:52,520 --> 02:12:55,600
Speaker 1: so that's taken over, So let me pose this to you. Okay,

2463
02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:59,240
Speaker 1: So the Broncos pick at nine, assuming the Falcons take

2464
02:12:59,360 --> 02:13:03,839
Speaker 1: Kyle pit, the Bengals take Jamar Chase, and the Dolphins

2465
02:13:03,880 --> 02:13:07,040
Speaker 1: take Penney Sewell. Detroit's on the clock at seven. You

2466
02:13:07,160 --> 02:13:09,320
Speaker 1: got Caroline at eight? Who you know is not taking

2467
02:13:09,360 --> 02:13:11,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Are you just sitting tight at nine or

2468
02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:16,000
Speaker 1: you're moving up to seven to get another quarterback for

2469
02:13:16,160 --> 02:13:19,720
Speaker 1: either give up draft capital for either Trey Lance or

2470
02:13:20,480 --> 02:13:24,080
Speaker 1: who justin Justin Fields, Smack Jones. I mean anybody I

2471
02:13:24,560 --> 02:13:27,200
Speaker 1: sit tight with. There's two of them left, I sit

2472
02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:31,040
Speaker 1: tight and take one of them, because Caroline, you gotta

2473
02:13:31,040 --> 02:13:34,960
Speaker 1: worry about somebody leapfrogging. Yeah you might, I might do that.

2474
02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm still give up draft cap. I'll even though you

2475
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:38,880
Speaker 1: get two quarterbacks in the house. You're gonna move up

2476
02:13:38,920 --> 02:13:41,160
Speaker 1: to get another one, the one you got in house,

2477
02:13:41,200 --> 02:13:43,400
Speaker 1: the one you traded for. They're paying a salary. You

2478
02:13:43,440 --> 02:13:46,000
Speaker 1: got a sixth round pick, Yes, all right, you gotta

2479
02:13:46,080 --> 02:13:51,200
Speaker 1: get the guy. And you don't think it's Bridgewater or Lock.

2480
02:13:51,280 --> 02:13:54,840
Speaker 1: That's evident. All right, Steve and I back tomorrow as

2481
02:13:54,880 --> 02:13:57,480
Speaker 1: we talk you up to the draft and give us

2482
02:13:57,520 --> 02:13:59,920
Speaker 1: your best guess for pick thirty. See that
