Speaker 1: Glad you're here for Bills by the Numbers, where we
Speaker 1: let the stats tell you where the Bills are at.
Speaker 1: We're presented by fand will make every moment more coming up.
Speaker 1: The balance between free agency and the draft. Is the
Speaker 1: equation different for GM Brandon Bean this time around? And
Speaker 1: why how much of the cap dollars have to go
Speaker 1: to the.
Speaker 2: Defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: And we'll have our one burning question, can somebody get
Speaker 1: cap compliance online? One? Please to have you listening to
Speaker 1: us here on Bills by the Numbers. He has Bill's
Speaker 1: Wall of Fame re Steve Tasker on Bills play by
Speaker 1: Playman Chris Brown. And as we approach the NFL Combine
Speaker 1: at the end of the month, this is where the
Speaker 1: rubber meets the road for all NFL club decision making
Speaker 1: with respect to the roster, the free agent plan comes
Speaker 1: into focus in terms of a budget and player targets
Speaker 1: to sign. It's also where the final stage of information
Speaker 1: gathering happens on draft prospects, whether they have a clean
Speaker 1: bill of health and most importantly, are they a fit
Speaker 1: for the Bills. But despite a change made a head
Speaker 1: coach this offseason and a scheme change on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. A step back in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six from where they've been the last seven years running
Speaker 1: is not an option. How might that mandate change jam
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean's approach in improving the roster this offseason.
Speaker 3: You and I've talked about it a little bit on
Speaker 3: the Daily Show. I think the trade market is going
Speaker 3: to be a little bit juiced up this year because
Speaker 3: of ten head coaching vacancies, a large number of teams
Speaker 3: going from four to three to three four and three
Speaker 3: four to four to three, vice versa. There'll be players
Speaker 3: on those ten rosters on the defensive side who fit
Speaker 3: or don't fit. If they fit in a three to
Speaker 3: four and they're not running a three to four anymore,
Speaker 3: you can trade that guy, and vice versa. I think
Speaker 3: there's gonna be more lateral movement for players and gms
Speaker 3: in this season than there has been, just because of
Speaker 3: how many regime changes there are and the scheme fits.
Speaker 3: The cap continues to go up, so they'll you should
Speaker 3: be able to kind of squeeze a more expensive player
Speaker 3: under your cap if you've got the room. Teams have
Speaker 3: known this is coming. The Bills are in better shape
Speaker 3: than they have been in years past. At this point,
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean they'll get to better shape than they
Speaker 3: need to get, but so I'm I really think this year,
Speaker 3: as far as philosophically changing your roster, I think the
Speaker 3: trade route is gonna be I think a little bit
Speaker 3: more juicy than it has been in years past.
Speaker 1: Sense to think that the trade market would be more robust,
Speaker 1: and then you couple that with the teams that are
Speaker 1: typically in need of making moves just to become cap compliant,
Speaker 1: and then on top of that salary structures on players
Speaker 1: that have just gotten too fat to justify the expense,
Speaker 1: and those players getting pushed potentially into the market. I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a very intriguing off season
Speaker 1: for the Bills, knowing what has to change and the
Speaker 1: degree of change on the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: and how the Bills are going to find the financial
Speaker 1: space to address all of that while also entertaining a
Speaker 1: draft shortly thereafter. I think it's going to be a
Speaker 1: fascinating offseason for this team because of how much has
Speaker 1: to change so as to adjust to the new scheme defensively,
Speaker 1: while also not losing any ground in their contender status.
Speaker 1: If you will, taking a step back really does not
Speaker 1: sound like an option here, even though when you make
Speaker 1: a change like this, there is a chance you slide
Speaker 1: back a little bit from what you've been the last
Speaker 1: several years.
Speaker 2: As we know, job.
Speaker 1: One will be for the Bills to become cap compliant.
Speaker 1: Even with a cap set to go up between twenty
Speaker 1: to twenty five million dollars, Buffalo still has work to
Speaker 1: do to not only get under the cap, but create
Speaker 1: enough space to fortify the roster in some capacity in
Speaker 1: free agency. In years past, we've largely seen Brandon Bean's
Speaker 1: swing for value in the free agent market rather than
Speaker 1: go big game hunting, and with cap constraints, they're likely
Speaker 1: to do the same this offseason. The question is what
Speaker 1: percentage of their free agent budget do you believe goes
Speaker 1: to the defensive side of the ball, knowing that's where
Speaker 1: they have far more holes, at least on a surface look.
Speaker 3: I was gonna kind of do the obviously, certainly they're
Speaker 3: going to spend more money on the defensive side. I
Speaker 3: don't know that those guys are out there. I think
Speaker 3: it probably be fifty to fifty. I think if they're
Speaker 3: gonna spend money, it's gonna be on a high end
Speaker 3: wide out, which will you know, balance out the ledger
Speaker 3: of the guys they don't need they're gonna try and
Speaker 3: get on defense that aren't available. I mean, you're not
Speaker 3: gonna get Miles Garrett on the free agent market or TJ.
Speaker 3: Watt or Kyle Hamilton or some of these guys. Right,
Speaker 3: Defenders are more valuable and are more costly. So I
Speaker 3: think Brandon Bereen's probably gonna continue to go value on
Speaker 3: the defensive side, particularly in this first year of a
Speaker 3: new defense, rather than go all in try and get
Speaker 3: a you know, swing for the fence on a home run. Now,
Speaker 3: there may be one that's presented to him by another
Speaker 3: team that we don't know about. Maybe, but I would
Speaker 3: think there's gonna spend more on fewer guys on the
Speaker 3: offensive side of the ball to make sure they can
Speaker 3: still keep scoring touchdowns even if it takes them a
Speaker 3: minute to find their their legs.
Speaker 1: On defense, Yeah, if you're talking dollars in cents, I
Speaker 1: would tend to agree it's probably going to wind up
Speaker 1: being balanced when it all comes out in the wash.
Speaker 1: If you're talking bodies though, right, it's probably eighty twenty defense.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, by sheer number.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.
Speaker 1: Think there are going to be some players on that
Speaker 1: side of the ball that just flat out don't fit.
Speaker 2: Anymore with the new scheme change.
Speaker 1: And even if they're under contract, you know, they might
Speaker 1: be a cap casualty or just deemed not a fit
Speaker 1: and moved via trade, you know, to get back to
Speaker 1: your earlier point. And so I think, if you're talking
Speaker 1: in terms of bodies, the defense is going to endure
Speaker 1: far more change over than the offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: This offseason we have often seen being fill as many
Speaker 1: perceived roster holes as possible with free agents, so his
Speaker 1: hand is enforced in theft and more often than not,
Speaker 1: he's been successful in doing that. But knowing the pressure
Speaker 1: is there to get over the playoff hump right now,
Speaker 1: does Bean have to acquire more proven commodities in free
Speaker 1: agency to improve the roster rather than drafting players and
Speaker 1: hoping a few of them are starting caliber anthers answers
Speaker 1: for their offensive or defensive lineup.
Speaker 3: That's a good question. H No, I think they're gonna
Speaker 3: do both. I think they're gonna draft guys and they're
Speaker 3: gonna try and get as good a guys as they
Speaker 3: possibly can, and I think they'll probably lean on their
Speaker 3: coaching staffs expertise about saying, what about this, particularly in
Speaker 3: the free agent market, but what do you think about
Speaker 3: this guy versus this guy, that guy versus this guy.
Speaker 3: I think the coaching staff will have a large, a
Speaker 3: loud voice in the guys they pluck out of the
Speaker 3: free agent market, and I that's the way it's always
Speaker 3: gonna draft. Now, the draft may be a different story.
Speaker 3: It may be the college scouts who have the bigger voice.
Speaker 3: The coach will say I like this, you know, they'll
Speaker 3: say I like this type of guy. The scouts will say,
Speaker 3: this is that guy. So that's what I think. That's
Speaker 3: how I think it will go. But I they'll get
Speaker 3: as proven of players as they can and fit them
Speaker 3: under the cap. But I just don't think there are
Speaker 3: gonna be any elite players available on the defensive side.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm attacking this question from a different angle
Speaker 1: than you are. I don't think they're looking for elite
Speaker 1: players per se on the free agent market. They first
Speaker 1: of all, they can't afford them. But I think more
Speaker 1: than in recent years, they are looking for known fits
Speaker 1: in this system. Because as much as their coaches watch
Speaker 1: the guys that are under contract on this roster and
Speaker 1: deem them a fit for this defense.
Speaker 2: It's still a projection.
Speaker 1: Now, you might have a more accurate projection on a
Speaker 1: guy like Terrell Bernard who's played in a three to
Speaker 1: four in college and was very successful, or a Landon
Speaker 1: Jackson who played in a three man front at Arkansas
Speaker 1: and you've seen him in this role, and so the
Speaker 1: projection you feel better about. The vast majority of these
Speaker 1: guys are projections. So knowing you have players under contract
Speaker 1: from previous years that you're projecting into this scheme, and
Speaker 1: then everyone you draft might be a projection into that
Speaker 1: scheme on the defensive side of the ball man, you
Speaker 1: need some sure things and so I think this offseason
Speaker 1: even more so than previous ones, you need more sure
Speaker 1: fire fits that you know can line up and play
Speaker 1: and be productive for you in this system in the
Speaker 1: free agent market than maybe in the last five years,
Speaker 1: because you already had guys in your pipeline on your
Speaker 1: roster that you knew or fit. You had Matt Mullane,
Speaker 1: you had Jordan Poyer, you know, you had Taron Johnson,
Speaker 1: you had Tredevious. What you had Christian Beffer. You had
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. Whatever it was that you knew fit this system,
Speaker 1: that's all gone. Now you're starting fresh, and as convinced
Speaker 1: as you might be that Dion Walker can be a
Speaker 1: nose tackle in a two gap system, I'm still finding
Speaker 1: myself a nose tackle on the free agent market that
Speaker 1: I know for sure can play nose tackle.
Speaker 2: I'm not like, I gotta have that.
Speaker 1: And so I think because of and desperation is not
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for here, but because you have
Speaker 1: to have positional certainty at some positions in this three
Speaker 1: four defense, I think you unequivocally have to find free
Speaker 1: agent answers.
Speaker 2: They can be budgetary, but.
Speaker 1: As long as you know day one I put the
Speaker 1: ball on the ground that guy can play nose tackle
Speaker 1: for me's have to have answers.
Speaker 3: That's the gray area we're talking about. If you've got
Speaker 3: a guy like an Ed Oliver who's a first round
Speaker 3: draft pick, he's got first round capabilities, and when he's
Speaker 3: out there and healthy, he's a difference maker and a real,
Speaker 3: you know, kind of a problem in a four to
Speaker 3: three and you pulled them over to three four and
Speaker 3: you think, okay, it's gonna take some getting used to
Speaker 3: it. But his athleticism and his traits are better than Joey
Speaker 3: bagg of Donuts, who his traits whatever they are, and
Speaker 3: his gifts are which are not as good as eds.
Speaker 3: But he's built for the four three three four. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's built for the system. That's the gray area. You
Speaker 3: have his ed with his gifts and maybe not exactly
Speaker 3: what you want, but his athleticism and his skills allow
Speaker 3: him to figure it out and be productive. Or is
Speaker 3: he better as a guy who doesn't fit but is
Speaker 3: a better athlete than a guy who does fit who's
Speaker 3: not as good an athlete. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: That's the gray are the call you got to make.
Speaker 3: That's the call you got to make as a as
Speaker 3: a coaching staff. It's it's not easy until you actually
Speaker 3: you know, because you don't get a chance to line
Speaker 3: He's get in a game and find That's.
Speaker 1: Why I think Being's gonna lean toward guys that he
Speaker 1: sees on film being productive in a three four scheme.
Speaker 1: Oh and we can get him for six million a year.
Speaker 1: Done get him in here, like you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like it's that kind of you. I think that's the scenario.
Speaker 1: He's gonna put himself in more often.
Speaker 3: The problem And as crazy as it sounds, you're gonna
Speaker 3: pay the guys six million a year, You're gonna get
Speaker 3: six million in value when everybody around him is making
Speaker 3: twenty and they're getting twenty million dollars in value. That's
Speaker 3: a problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I just think they gotta find that kind
Speaker 2: of value.
Speaker 3: Oh, they're looking for different types of athletes, now, no
Speaker 3: question about it.
Speaker 1: Affordable but proven productive in this kind of a scheme
Speaker 1: is the highest of highest priorities. All Right, we just
Speaker 1: we discussed this and broach this subject a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tweak it a little.
Speaker 1: But knowing that cap constraints could make the ability to
Speaker 1: sign a higher number of free agents difficult, do you
Speaker 1: expect the Bills personnel department to be more apt to
Speaker 1: execute a few player for player or player for draft
Speaker 1: capital trades to move money out and create more cap space.
Speaker 3: It does open up a logical window for players rather
Speaker 3: than draft picks to go out to go out. It
Speaker 3: opens that up on all ten of the new regimes,
Speaker 3: and with that many teams moving around like that, it
Speaker 3: will also kind of reach out and make its way
Speaker 3: into other teams who aren't making regime changes but have
Speaker 3: guys available or who they're deep at this position or
Speaker 3: shallow at the position and they need the guys. So, yes,
Speaker 3: I do. I think it really widens the market for
Speaker 3: players to be available in trades rather than draft picks. Now,
Speaker 3: certainly we're going to see the same number. Listen, we're
Speaker 3: going to give you our one this year for your
Speaker 3: one next year, and you can pick your guy, will
Speaker 3: take your one for next year. We're seeing that all.
Speaker 3: We see that all the time. Right, we'll move back
Speaker 3: fifteen spots, but you're gonna give us your one next
Speaker 3: year and a two next year or a three next year.
Speaker 3: That's always happening, And that's gonna that's gonna be exactly
Speaker 3: the same this year as it always is, because it's
Speaker 3: draft picks for draft picks, and they're all unknowns. This
Speaker 3: year more so than any other. I believe it opens
Speaker 3: up the possibility that players that you love and respect
Speaker 3: on your respective teams are around the knee league, they're
Speaker 3: up on they're on the block.
Speaker 1: Yes, the Bills, because of their cap constraints, are in
Speaker 1: a much different position than a regime change in Tennessee
Speaker 1: or in Las Vegas. They're tight against the cap and
Speaker 1: they're making a scheme change. They want to move players out.
Speaker 1: The Titans and the Raiders lead the league in cap
Speaker 1: space this offseason one hundred and four million, ninety one
Speaker 1: and a half million. Those are teams that, just by
Speaker 1: virtue of example, Brandon Bean could call and say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I've got player X is their interest. I know you
Speaker 1: can stomach the salary. Either give me draft capital back
Speaker 1: so I have dollars out, or give me a player
Speaker 1: on his rookie deal so I can have dollars in
Speaker 1: that I can absorb. And I'm giving you a frontline
Speaker 1: player for your new scheme because you can stomach the money.
Speaker 1: Those are valuable potential trade partners. Titans with almost one
Speaker 1: hundred and five million in cap space, you can give
Speaker 1: them a fifteen million dollar a year player.
Speaker 3: They don't even blink, right, and the thing that you'll
Speaker 3: get back is something. But you have to get something
Speaker 3: back that they don't value as much as the player.
Speaker 1: Or is it to Andre Sweat, I'm gonna keep talking
Speaker 1: about that guy until we land them in a trade.
Speaker 3: The more you talk about the less likely this might be.
Speaker 2: That's like, that's a guy in his rookie deal. That's
Speaker 2: why I was.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's yeah, but yet easier said than Doe is.
Speaker 3: I get it, but you're right. I do think players
Speaker 3: will be more available to move teams this year in
Speaker 3: the trade market rather than draft capital and cap space
Speaker 3: than all of that. I just think that's more likely
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 1: We move along to the numbers game where Steve is
Speaker 1: going to be quizzed on NFL Combine history. It is
Speaker 1: on the doorsteps, So why knock?
Speaker 2: Question number one?
Speaker 1: Steve Max Harston had the fastest forty time at the
Speaker 1: combine last year. He clocked a four to eight. Where
Speaker 1: does his forty time rank in the history of the
Speaker 1: combine since two thousand and six, when the modern timing
Speaker 1: system was implemented.
Speaker 3: Top ten?
Speaker 1: You are correct, he is exactly tenth tenth fastest time
Speaker 1: since two thousand and six, fourth fastest corners.
Speaker 3: That listen, that's four to two.
Speaker 2: That's moving.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, he's fast.
Speaker 1: So he trails only Kaylon Barnes, DJ Turner who's with
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and Riek Woolen of the Seahawks in fastest
Speaker 1: forty times among quarterbacks since cornerbacks since two thousand and six.
Speaker 1: Question number two, what Buffalo Bill's draft choice holds the
Speaker 1: team record for bench press reps at the NFL COMBA
Speaker 1: bench press rep? Oh, yeah, not really done that much
Speaker 1: anymore by a lot of prospects at the combat.
Speaker 3: What year was it done? Can I ask her?
Speaker 1: I don't have it my era or was it somebody else?
Speaker 2: It's after your era.
Speaker 3: Bench press reps Kyle Wood, It is not Kyle Williams.
Speaker 3: All right, I'll say Quiat Teller.
Speaker 2: It's not Wyatt Teller. It's a little bit earlier than that.
Speaker 1: All right, give you one more US reps.
Speaker 2: It is a big guy as you would expect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say Dion, No, it's before deal. Hold on,
Speaker 3: that's not guess uh. I put the card down, but
Speaker 3: I didn't take my hand down. I will say, let
Speaker 3: me think, boy, I couldn't tell it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It is life Larsen, Remember I do
Speaker 1: remember him powerlifter.
Speaker 2: Forty five reps on.
Speaker 1: The bench, the five That is a fat number. Question
Speaker 1: number three, how long did Dion Dawkins arms measure at
Speaker 1: the NFL COMBA.
Speaker 2: You had to guess? What would you say is arm.
Speaker 3: Length was between thirty four and thirty five inches.
Speaker 1: It is exactly thirty five inches for Dionda Hawkins thirty
Speaker 1: five inch arms. That's why he's getting it done at
Speaker 1: just six foot three. He's got vines for arms. Kidding
Speaker 1: and question number four, what Buffalo Bill's draft choice holds
Speaker 1: the team record for highest vertical leap at the NFL combine?
Speaker 2: Do you wonder what the number is?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 1: Forty one and a half inches? Aaron who got forty
Speaker 1: one and a half inches between the bottom of their
Speaker 1: shoes and the floor.
Speaker 3: It's not Aaron, it is not. I will say I'm
Speaker 3: leaning towards as an offensive player.
Speaker 2: It is not.
Speaker 1: I will tell you it's a defensive player.
Speaker 3: I'll say Tredavious White.
Speaker 2: It is not Tredavious White. But your position is correct?
Speaker 3: Right now? Is it like post two thousand, Yes, it is.
Speaker 1: I'll say it's within the last ten years.
Speaker 3: I'll say, uh, if you wouldn't say Max Harriston all passes,
Speaker 3: it's not Max.
Speaker 1: Right, No, he is third all time thirty nine and
Speaker 1: a half inches.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, I sure know I knew this.
Speaker 2: Trel Bernard. It is not Terrell Bernard.
Speaker 1: It is Ronald Darby forty one and a half inches,
Speaker 1: the first pick in the twenty fifteen draft. In round two,
Speaker 1: Saran Neil second all time at forty and a half inches,
Speaker 1: and Max Harrison third all time at thirty nine and
Speaker 1: a half. The DB's holding it down on the vertical.
Speaker 3: Eat those guys or they're different cats, man. I go
Speaker 3: on and on telling story about it. The dbs in
Speaker 3: the NFL are faster than anybody you've ever you've ever
Speaker 3: competed against, and they're better athletes anybody you've ever competed against.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 3: Play the whole game in reverse there. They're unbelievable. Yeah,
Speaker 3: unbelievable athletes.

Speaker 1: Make every moment more with FanDuel Official Sportsbook, partner of
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Time now for our one burning question
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty six NFL draft. Do you expect
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean to be more aggressive and part with draft
Speaker 1: capital to move up the board, or do you think
Speaker 1: after possibly being somewhat limited in free agency, that Bean
Speaker 1: will be more app to trade back out of positions
Speaker 1: to acquire more draft capital and take a volume approach.
Speaker 3: I think think it's more likely that it takes a
Speaker 3: volume approach because they're picking twenty sixth overall. Now, I
Speaker 3: don't know how many guys they have a first round
Speaker 3: grade on, so nobody does. They probably haven't even decided
Speaker 3: that themselves. But if there's like thirty, maybe they do
Speaker 3: move up. If it's you know, twenty or fifteen, then
Speaker 3: they'll probably move back and get more picks. Last year,
Speaker 3: it was one of those drafts where most of the
Speaker 3: value is between the second and fourth round. There was
Speaker 3: a ton of players in that spot there, which meant,
Speaker 3: you know, that's where you want to pick. I think
Speaker 3: it's more I think it's more likely this year that
Speaker 3: he drops back, grabs a bunch more picks, and makes selections.
Speaker 2: I think volume is the way they're going to go.
Speaker 3: Only because they're picking twenty six to begin with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be hard to move up to get somebody,
Speaker 1: so I think he's more appt to go with the
Speaker 1: volume approach, especially with cap constraints. Odds are not as
Speaker 1: many free agents coming in, so your numbers might be
Speaker 1: down there. So you've got to increase your numbers in
Speaker 1: the draft, move back, add picks. I mean, they only
Speaker 1: have seven going in and it's it's all their own
Speaker 1: through the first five rounds. They're gonna be drafting low
Speaker 1: every single round. If you move back, you can at
Speaker 1: least get higher in a round or two with extra
Speaker 1: picks that you acquire.
Speaker 3: And also this is the pick, the pick that you get,
Speaker 3: the twenty fifth pick or whatever, twenty six, twenty sixth pick.
Speaker 3: There's just there's just it's a quarterback week draft, so
Speaker 3: there's not going to be teams wanting to get into
Speaker 3: the end of the third first round so they can
Speaker 3: grab a fifth year on a quarterback. There's just you're
Speaker 3: just not going to be able to You might be
Speaker 3: able to move back, but only I don't even know,
Speaker 3: because there's no like, there's no Lamar Jackson in this
Speaker 3: draft where a team might say, you know what, we're
Speaker 3: going to take a flyer on this quarterback thinking he's
Speaker 3: and we're gonna get an extra year on his contract
Speaker 3: by picking him in the first round. Kind of thing.
Speaker 3: So I think the Bills will probably market that pick
Speaker 3: big time and see what they can get for it.
Speaker 3: You can just see teams going, yeah, we'll give you
Speaker 3: a pick, like a really good pick next year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, we need our picks this year. I don't
Speaker 3: know that I'm gonna go. Look, we'll start getting into
Speaker 3: this more and more as we get through this. But
Speaker 3: I want to know how many teams have like twelve
Speaker 3: picks in this draft, right, I mean, how many teams
Speaker 3: have eleven picks? How many teams have ten picks rather
Speaker 3: than just the seven or the six that some teams have. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'll tell you how which teams will be in the market.
Speaker 1: If the Bills only have seven, they've got their own
Speaker 1: one through five, and then they have two sevens which
Speaker 1: came from trades the last couple of years from the
Speaker 1: Jets and the Dallas Cowboys. So you gonna be picking
Speaker 1: late through the first five rounds. Might behoove them to
Speaker 1: move back add a few picks, picking the high or
Speaker 1: middle stages of some of those rounds, and scoop up
Speaker 1: some quality talent for their offense or defense, respectively. So
Speaker 1: I mean we've seen them go both ways. I mean,
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has gone both ways in the draft in
Speaker 1: his you know, eight drafts that he's presided over for
Speaker 1: the Bills, so nothing would surprise me coming from him
Speaker 1: at this point. Our closing figure takes a look at
Speaker 1: Buffalo's top pick, which hasn't always been in round one.
Speaker 1: Since the twenty eighteen draft when Brandon Bean took over,
Speaker 1: the Bills have taken a defensive player five times and
Speaker 1: an offensive player three times with their first pick, and
Speaker 1: we are counting second round picks aj Epanessa and Keon
Speaker 1: Coleman since they were the first picks taken in those
Speaker 1: respective drafts. So pretty balanced all things considered. That's all
