00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,559

Speaker 1: Good stuff. Congratulations the organization, Yeah, Lindy and all that.

00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: be awesome. I'm I am over the man get back

26
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: to the Poms, Absolutely excited for him. It's gonna be fun.

27
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: We have NFL news to discuss with you right off

28
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: the rip, and it is draft related, as one would expect,

29
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: because the San Francisco forty nine Ers had their pre

30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: draft press conference, so you know, all these teams are

31
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: making their gms available in the week leading up to

32
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: the draft, and so everybody in the media is trying

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: to read between the tea leaves here or read the

34
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: tea leaves, read between the lines. I combined two expressions

35
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: into one there unintentionally, and forty nine Ers general manager

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: John Lynch was naturally asked about wide receiver Brandon Ayuk,

37
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: who is going to be playing on his fifty year

38
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: option if he's still on San Francisco's roster this fall,

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: and he said, quote, our wish is that he is

40
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: here for the rest of his career. We are working

41
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: through that end quote. Then he was asked whether they've

42
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: received calls on the availability of Ayuk, and he said, quote, sure,

43
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: we receive calls for a lot of players end quote,

44
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: and then he was asked another follow up about what

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: you know Ayuk hasn't been to the facility. He's kind

46
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: of boycotted off season workouts, which by the way, are voluntary. Yeah,

47
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: because he has had a contract that's a big new negotiation.

48
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: He's in a contract negotiation with the Niners. He has

49
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: chosen not to go to the offseason conditioning program. And

50
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: Lynch said, we're having good talks and we'll leave it

51
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: at that end. Quote. So, Steve Tasker, I ask you,

52
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: is Brandon Aiyuk a San Francisco forty nine er at

53
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: the end of draft weekend.

54
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: No, I'll bet she moves even just despite all of that.

55
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: I'll bet you it might be a smoke screen. It

56
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: might be having They might want to keep it down.

57
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: They want to tamp it down a little bit and

58
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: not let it go. I think there's not let it out.

59
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I think there's too many teams that know that they're

60
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: going to struggle to get one of these top guys.

61
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: They want a guy that's proven. They got the cap

62
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: to spend it, to spend on it, and they'll make

63
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: a move and they'll sign Au to Al or they'll

64
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: sign Ayuk in San Francisco and trade him or something of.

65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: That nature, or they're the team that he's being traded to,

66
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: will have a contract already agreed upon it in his

67
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: face with his agent.

68
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: That's right now. I don't know if you can do

69
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: all of that and not have it spilled out in

70
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter's timeline or whoever's you know, but there's no

71
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: question there's teams that are sniffing around, sniffing around and

72
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: have you know, have the cap space. Now you think

73
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: of the look at the teams on the list that

74
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: have the most cap space and the simple it's like

75
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Commanders, the Titans, the Jaguars, the Chargers.

76
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you can take your pick. None of those

77
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: except for well the Commanders, but none of those are

78
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: NFC teams. Uh, Patriots, Titans, Jags, Chargers, the Colts at

79
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: number eight on that list. There's a lot of AFC

80
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: teams that are looking for a guy. And you know,

81
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: everybody wants that wants a dude, you know, and I

82
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: could be that for a lot of teams. So there

83
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: they might jump through some hoops. Some of these teams

84
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: that don't believe they're gonna get a guy that's better

85
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: than Ayuk, and they have the cap to spend, they

86
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: can spread it out however they want. They'll make a

87
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: bold move for him in San Francisco their neck deep

88
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: in talent.

89
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: Well they are, and they've already paid a lot of

90
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: their high profile players.

91
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, if you're wondering that San Francisco is twenty

92
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: fifth in cap space.

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: Right and if you trade him this weekend, that fourteen

94
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: point one million dollars salary cap hit would go on

95
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: to next year or sorry, it would be your cap savings.

96
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: Now you're saving fourteen million on the cap by moving

97
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: them off the roster via trade, so that that's not nothing.

98
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one.

99
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 2: You can sign your whole draft class with that.

100
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, that's right. But there's no guarantee

101
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: any of those draft these are there is this guy

102
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: there is not.

103
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: And so they're in kind of the similar boat as

104
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: the Bengals, Like, we got all the way to the

105
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, do we want to run it back again,

106
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: you know with Ayuk one more year? Kind of like

107
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: the Bengals have committed to. They're saying, look, we're not

108
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: trading Higgins, We're gonna run it back one more year

109
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: with a healthy Joe Burrow and see if we can

110
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: get back there, and then after that we wave goodbye

111
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: to t Higgins.

112
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: Right So, I.

113
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: Wonder where the Niners come down on this, or if

114
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: someone bowls them over with a deal they say, yeah,

115
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: let's do it.

116
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: One of those teams I talked about, you know, New England.

117
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: New England's not getting out of the number three pick. No,

118
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: not for no. Right.

119
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: So, but because you can look at this two ways, Steve.

120
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: You can look at it from the Niners perspective, which

121
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: is like, we're really close last year, let's try to

122
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: run after one more year without you. But on the

123
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: other hand, you can also say, this is the deepest

124
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: receiver class and years in years, and if we move

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: Ayuk off off the roster, we'll get a first round

126
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: pick at the very least, if not this year, for

127
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: the future, and we can draft another receiver who may

128
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: turn out to be every bit as good as Brandon Ayuk. Now,

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: is it a risk, yeah, But with a receiver draft

130
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: this deep, I think you can find your way to

131
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: rationalizing moving him off your roster too.

132
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: Right now, what do you give up to get Ayuk?

133
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: It's got to be a little bit of a steep price.

134
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: What do you get? What are you thinking? A second, second, and.

135
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: Third might be a low one, A.

136
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: Low one next year six years old, and next year's

137
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: he was a first round pick himself. Yeah maybe maybe

138
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: this year, maybe this year to this year.

139
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: Now, maybe maybe it is only a two because you

140
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: are taking on the salary burden. So maybe there's that, Yeah,

141
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: would that would reduce the price. I don't know. I'm

142
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: just speculating here, but I think he's going to be

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: an intriguing name over the course of the weekend. And

144
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: maybe not night one, right, but you get to night

145
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: two and a couple of those teams that were looking

146
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: for a receiver or standing out in the cold with nobody.

147
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Well, they might you know what I mean.

148
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: They might be like, we didn't get the guy we wanted,

149
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: and we have a predicament here. We need somebody. It's

150
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: time to pay up.

151
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Think about it, though, If you got him to a

152
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: team like say Indianapolis, they're picking like fifteenth. If Indianapolis

153
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: is picking fifteenth, fifteenth, they're not gonna get one of

154
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the top three, maybe not even get but they're not.

155
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: Terribly hard up for a receiver they have Michael Pittman.

156
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: They just drafted Josh Downs last year, and they there's

157
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: a third guy they got there in their top three

158
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 2: that isn't terrible. So the kid they drafted in the

159
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: third down or third round Pierce a couple of years ago.

160
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: So that's their top three.

161
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: You're looking at teams and I'm thinking, I'm I'm leaning

162
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: towards AFC East team or AFC teams here. You know, uh,

163
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: what would you say to like a well, let me

164
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: just check it, let me just kept there. Let me

165
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: just check their cap situation here, A team like you're

166
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, they only have they'd have to move some

167
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: money around. They only have. They're close, they're twelve million.

168
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: Not doing that under But a team like they're going

169
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: to draft one if they want one, right.

170
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: But they're at twenty No, I know they're at twenty.

171
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see if they're While everybody's zigging

172
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: and zagging their way through the draft, maybe the jockey

173
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 2: for position, what team just says, the hell with the draft,

174
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: give me the guy I know that can play.

175
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: That's right, I'll pay the money.

176
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: And I realized there's not as much cap space in

177
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: the league now, as there was the beginning of March.

178
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: But I wonder if some team gets pressed into that

179
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: corner to say we got to do this.

180
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no matter how much it costs, I'll say this.

181
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: It would be a team like you know, you could

182
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: see a team like the Patriots doing it. But they're

183
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: not going to give the number three pick overall for

184
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk. There's just no way.

185
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: No, but got a high picking round two.

186
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he can give a two for him and San

187
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Francisco then all of a sudden is picking and they've

188
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: got you know, obviously New England's got all kinds of

189
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: cap room. So New England goes they're picking three and

190
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: then they drop down too, and then I'm sorry, not

191
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: New England.

192
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: Thirty one and San Francisc's at the bottom. Round one

193
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: top a round.

194
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: To San Francisco could get thirty one and then yeah,

195
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: like you said.

196
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: We have thirty one, and then they get New England's that.

197
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: We get five four, thirty four, thirty four.

198
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: It's possible. We have to take a break here, but

199
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: when we come back more to talk around the NFL

200
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: and our topic of discussion today, it's a poll. Check

201
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: it out at one Bill's live during the break here

202
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: and way in. It's an interesting choice. What's more likely scenario?

203
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: We'll get into the details next here on One Bill's Live.

204
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: Stay tuned all right back here on one Bill's Live,

205
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you. Your topic of discussion today

206
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: involves a poll, ladies and germs. It's a draft related

207
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: of course, and we're asking you what is a more

208
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: likely scenario for the Bills during the twenty twenty four

209
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: NFL Draft. Either A they'll draft two wide receivers with

210
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: their in the first two days, or B they'll draft

211
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: a first round defensive player two wide receivers in the

212
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: first two days the draft, which for now would mean

213
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: their first two picks, or draft a first round defensive player.

214
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: And look at this, the results are almost dead even

215
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: what is fifty point five percent says two wideouts.

216
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: I don't know that any either one of the five

217
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm with most of these, I don't think either one

218
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: of these is going to happen. But I think it's

219
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: more likely just just by a hair that's gonna take

220
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: two wideouts, much like the poll. Is exactly like the

221
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: poll I think because I don't think either of these, guy,

222
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll take two wide receivers at the top, but.

223
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: They might back positions before they might first two picks there,

224
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: and this is a deep draft at that spot.

225
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a defensive player on the board

226
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: at twenty eight that's going to be better than a

227
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver prospect at twenty eight. That's my guy.

228
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what your gut is telling you.

229
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: That's my gut. So I'm saying so, I'm thinking I'm

230
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: with the pole just by just by that much, I think, yeah,

231
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely they take two wideouts rather

232
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: than a defensive player first pick.

233
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: It is supposed to be an offensive draft in the

234
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: first round. People are predicting that it will break the record.

235
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: Nineteen is the most number of offensive players taking the

236
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: first round of any NFL draft, and they are expecting

237
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: that number to get shattered this year.

238
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: What year was that that? I do not remember either.

239
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: I'll have somebody said it and I lost that.

240
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: But it's looking like this year's class will shatter that mark.

241
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: And now you know, you're hearing reports and murmurs and

242
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: stuff that now it's sounding more and more likely that

243
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: six quarterbacks are going to go in the first round.

244
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: So it's not the four that we've heard about the

245
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: whole time, you know, which is Drake May and Caleb

246
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: Williams and Jaden Daniels and JD McCarthy. They're throwing bow

247
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: knicks and Michael Pennix in the first round as well, right,

248
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: And it's under the guys of you have too many

249
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: teams that need quarterbacks and you don't have enough of them,

250
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: and that's why there's gonna there's six are gonna go

251
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: in the first round. And if that happens, that's.

252
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: Great for the Bills.

253
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: It's great for the Bills because it's one more spot occupied,

254
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: you know.

255
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Two.

256
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm pretty convinced they were gonna be five. There could

257
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: be six. Six is great because they're all gonna go

258
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: before pick twenty.

259
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Eight and all the and most of the AFC teams

260
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: that need a quarterback have kind of got one on

261
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: the you know, they can't like New England's gonna take one.

262
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: That's fine. Chargers no Tennessee and they got Will Levis.

263
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: They're not taking one. The Jets, no Denver. Yes, there's two.

264
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: So all the NFC teams may be jumping up in

265
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: there to get in Chicago, Washington. Arizona's gonna to take

266
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: one of the guys we want. They want a wide receiver.

267
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna get somebody for Kyler Murray the Giants. What

268
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: do you think the Giants are gonna do? Because there's

269
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about them getting up and actually

270
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: getting a quarterback that's not a.

271
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: You know, it depends what the price is.

272
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Cup of vanilla. Shoot, you know vanilla.

273
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: Depends what the price is.

274
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: Ah yeah.

275
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: Monteasin Ford, the GM of the Arizona Cardinals, is on

276
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: record as saying I am not making a deal until

277
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: I know what's on the board. So he wants to

278
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: ensure that three quarterbacks go, which arguably could enhance his

279
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: position because or his asking price. I should say, because

280
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: if you have a top tier of quarterbacks on your

281
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: board and there's only four, and then there's a drop

282
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: off to the next tier, and you're within striking distance

283
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: to pick four, and you know you've got a lot

284
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: of other teams trying to call Monti Asin Ford as well.

285
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: Suddenly my tiasin for is in the catbird seat and

286
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: he can demand practically whatever he wants. Were getting little greedy.

287
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: It would even be better for Arizona if only one

288
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: or two qbs were taken. Well, yes, but yes, Arizona,

289
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: that is the spot in the draft where you think, Man.

290
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: They had a major pivot point.

291
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: It's a major spot because the first spot where you

292
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: think those guys don't need a quarterback.

293
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so now let me add this to the equation.

294
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: We heard Brandon Bean last week say that they have

295
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: more players with first round grades this year than they

296
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: did last year. Didn't give us a number. Forty nine

297
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: Ers GM John Lynch did provide a number. He said

298
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers have twenty two players on their

299
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: draft board with first round grades. He too said that

300
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: they have more this year than they did last year.

301
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: So I think it's safe to us, safe for us

302
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: to assume Steve that from the most ardent grading team

303
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: to the easiest grading team on player grades in the

304
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: entire league, we're probably looking at somewhere between sixteen and

305
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: twenty four players with first round grades. Sure, so, does

306
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: that make you feel any better about what the Bills

307
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: could be within striking distance of at twenty eight? No doesn't, No,

308
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: not at all. No doesn't move the needle.

309
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: For no, it doesn't move the needle at there's too

310
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: many other teams we don't know about, and the paint

311
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: at the Niners are behind the Bills and always are

312
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. When you're in one of those spots where

313
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: you're picking late in the draft, you're trying to you're

314
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: trying to reach and trying to extend those first round

315
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: grades to reach you. You know you want to be in.

316
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: You know you want to be at least at the

317
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: end of it. You know there's going to be a

318
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: little bit. There's going to be at least one or two,

319
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: maybe even you know, almost a handful of players that

320
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: you have first round grades on that are gonna get

321
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: close to you, you know, because they're gonna be other

322
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: teams that don't see those players the way you do.

323
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: They'll they'll let those guys drop to you, and some

324
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: of the fringe first rounders on your list may kind

325
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: of start to reach you and get closer to you,

326
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: but not if you have if you have twenty first rounders,

327
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: like maybe the Bills have twenty first rounders, they're not

328
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna get one of those first rounders probably to drop

329
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: all the way to twenty eight, because it's there's too

330
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: many teams that will see things the way they do.

331
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: At least to a certain point, they're not gonna miss

332
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: by ten spots.

333
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: Although so it's gonna be harder to move up from there. Yeah,

334
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: because there's only twenty two players with first round grades

335
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: according to.

336
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: John But unless one of those teams from twenty to

337
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: twenty seven only had sixteen first round grades.

338
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: Well let me well, then let me pose this again.

339
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: Do you think thirty two teams have six quarterbacks with

340
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: first round grades?

341
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question. I don't think I stn't

342
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: think so.

343
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: But squarterbacks are gonna go in the first twenty two pits.

344
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know six. I'll say this, I'm I'm very

345
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: high on one of the guys that a lot of

346
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: people think is a second or third round quarterback, and

347
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: I think he's much better than that. So you can

348
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: say what you want. That's the way, that's how, that's

349
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: the spectrum of opinion that you're gonna have to live with. Yees,

350
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: six six quarterbacks.

351
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: No, that's what people are saying.

352
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: I'll just say no, that's the that's the rumbling in

353
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: my best ungambler.

354
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 2: Too many quarterback needy teams, not enough quarterbacks.

355
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: Come on man that no, No, I don't think the

356
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks will go. I'm taking the under. I'm taking

357
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: the under. That's just because when you get down to

358
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: that list, I mean, well let's just look real quick here.

359
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: Well you start taking a look at the list.

360
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: Here they are, and it's it's not pretty. You got

361
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Jade and Dan Nils, Drake May, Mike Pennix,

362
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: j J McCarthy, Bownicks, Spencer Rattler, Michael Pratt, No, no.

363
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: Bow Knicks could sneak into the first round, come on man,

364
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler. No third round pick, fourth round pick somewhere

365
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: around there. And everybody else.

366
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: Too, Michael Pratt, Jordan Jordan Travis, Joe Milton, Sam Hartman,

367
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Devin Leary. That's a UK kid. And listen, not forget

368
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: most of those guys. I'll just read down the list.

369
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: There's one guy, Drake May sixty four, everybody else six

370
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: two six two six two six foot six two six ' one,

371
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: and then Joe Milton six ' five from Tennessee, whom

372
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: he's an athlete. Yes, that guy can go, and that

373
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: that guy may be the one who's the flyer that

374
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: somebody takes. Yeah, you know, he said that all these

375
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: guys are gone and they'll take him because of his traits.

376
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: That guy is. I'm not saying he's Lamar Jackson because

377
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: he's way bigger and heavier than Lamar and he does

378
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: he didn't run a four to three, runs like a

379
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: four to seven or something like it. But that guy.

380
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta take a break here more when we return,

381
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: including your phone calls at ATO three five point fifty.

382
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: What scenario is more likely for the Bills during the

383
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four NFL draft draft two receivers with their

384
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: first two picks or draft a first round defensive player.

385
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: You let us know. Next here on one Bill's Live,

386
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: stay with us, you tell us which draft scenario is

387
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: more likely for the Bills, drafting two wide receivers with

388
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: their first two picks or drafting a first round defensive player.

389
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: ATO three oh five fifty. The number to get on board.

390
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: Let's go right to the phones and leading us off

391
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: today is Ryan in Toronto.

392
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: What's up?

393
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: Ryan?

394
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 4: Chris?

395
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 5: See if I called last week in lnning you taking

396
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 5: a prayer for the plus round pick on your you

397
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 5: gotta saying that fifty to fifty to be honest, if

398
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: you do draft a wide receiver in the first round

399
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 5: on the twentieth pig, I think that receiver is going

400
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: to be a plug and play receiver, but there's more

401
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 5: likely if you get a defensive.

402
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: Player, he'll be more of a plug and.

403
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 5: Play versus the receiver. I just want to hear your thoughts.

404
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: So you're thinking more likely defensive player will get on

405
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 2: the field before the receiver. That's your belief. Picking at

406
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: twenty eight, I think so, okay.

407
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 4: But the the twenty eighth pakes for receiver, I don't

408
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 4: think it's going to be was going to be able

409
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 4: to be on the field right away, but there's more

410
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 4: chances of the defensive end defender player to be on

411
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 4: the field was the receiver, unless they move up.

412
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. It's a good question to ask, I

413
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: would think, because if if you get one of the

414
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: guys that we're talking about sitting, you know, sitting here

415
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: talking about like a one of the time, if you

416
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: get a Brian Thomas Junior, I think he's on the field.

417
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: I think a d Mitchell would get on the field.

418
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: Maybe xavierly Get, I don't know. He may be a

419
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: question mark because of his lack of you know, his

420
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: lack of history is a long term body college. You know,

421
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a body of work, so don't know

422
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: for sure about him. And then you're right once you

423
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: get past that, maybe they don't like line up on

424
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: day one and go Maybe maybe if they get like

425
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: a guy like Lad McConkie, if they're gonna go this,

426
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: do this philosophical change where they got Khalil Shakir and

427
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: mconkie on the field at the same time, and they're

428
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna go first down, first down, first down, and then

429
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: depend on red zone offense all year. Okay, but you're right,

430
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: unless it's one of those guys, it will be hard

431
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: for those guys to get on the field. It will

432
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: be hard.

433
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: Got to be a top five guy, Yeah, I think,

434
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: I think to ensure it. But even then, I still

435
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: think you can argue that the whole at receiver, knowing

436
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: the top two are off the roster from last year's team,

437
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: somebody's got I think it still offers more opportunity for

438
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: the receiver that's drafted at twenty eight because right now,

439
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: at defensive end, let's just say it's a defensive end.

440
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: If it's a defensive end, you've got Von Miller, Kingsley,

441
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: Jonathan aj Epanessa and Greg Russo and Casey Twohill coming

442
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: over from Washington. I know they do a rotation, but

443
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: that's five guys right there. And if you don't get

444
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 2: one of the top three pass rushers, you know, Dallas

445
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: Turner or Jared Verse, you know you don't get one

446
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: of those top guys. Sure he might get ten snaps

447
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: a game and quote unquote get on the field because

448
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: they play a rotational system, but he's not carrying. He's

449
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: not the main course at pass rusher and defensive tackle.

450
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: Same thing. I would say, you got hold on, you

451
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: got ed Oliver Daikwon Jones, and then you you signed

452
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: Austin Johnson and you got the other kid, Deshaun Williams.

453
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: I believe that's right.

454
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: Who's the other backup defensive tackle? You're four deep there.

455
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe Johnny Newton beats out one of those guys.

456
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: But again, now you're talking about a rotation. I think

457
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: the opportunity is greater at the receiver position on this

458
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: roster than it is on defensive line based on what

459
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: they've assembled. And I'm not even considering the talent you're

460
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: able to acquire. I'm talking strictly opportunity here in Buffalo.

461
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, unless they're gonna take Yeah, unless they're gonna take

462
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: a safety. Maybe he gets on the field right away

463
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: or maybe, but yeah, I'm with you. I don't think

464
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna take a safety that high.

465
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised. So I mean Cooper dejen is a

466
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: corner who's viewed by a lot of teams as a safety.

467
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Because you're right, we're talking about an offensive you're talking

468
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: about a wide receiver. The vacancy and wide receiver at

469
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: the top, Steph Diggs, Gabe Davis, Gonzo, they're out the

470
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: So somebody's got to line up at the at the

471
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: two spot. Even if you put even if you put

472
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel in the one in the one hole, you

473
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: still gotta find somebody. And if you put in Samuel

474
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: at the at the two, you gotta find a one. Yeah,

475
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: And somebody's got to line up out there. So you

476
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: don't have a you don't have anybody proven at all.

477
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: And Brownie keeps saying it. I didn't realize he's right.

478
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: There's only one wide out on the roster who's caught

479
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: a pass in a game from the quarterback only one

480
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: from last year. So all this I think this is

481
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: you throw all these guys up and see who lands

482
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: on their feet?

483
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: Like yeah, So, I mean, I don't think the premise

484
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: is a bad thought, Ryan, from a macro perspective like

485
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 2: you said, yeah, But from a micro Bills perspective, I

486
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: think a receiver at twenty eight, if you know, you

487
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: get one of the top five, even six, it's gonna

488
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: get on the field. They're taught. These draft gurus are

489
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: talking about receivers as late as the third round being

490
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: probably uh a one to two or three in an

491
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: NFL team pecking order, like.

492
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: Right away, right out of the shoot. So I'm I

493
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: think the Bills are gonna plug this guy in at

494
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: wide out. Now you can say, you know how good

495
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna be. Whether he gets plugged in or not,

496
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: that's another story. Yeah, there's just nobody else to play now.

497
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: They they've signed some guys, you know, Mac Hollins is

498
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: in the room, Terrell Shavers, Justin Shorter and those are

499
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: all guys of a certain type. They're big dudes that

500
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: play wide out. But they've they've got a lot to

501
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: prove to get on the field. Here with Buffalo, and

502
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: you'd like to think if they're good enough, they're Brandon.

503
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: I mean, John mcdermot's gonna get him and I and

504
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: I think too, best guy plays, no matter where he

505
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: came from or who he is, best guy plays. That's

506
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: just the culture they foster here. So they'll all get

507
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: a shot at it. But man, oh man, you talk

508
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: about expectations. Is going to be on that draft pick

509
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: if they take him at twenty seven or twenty eight.

510
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to Steven North Buffalo Nex. What's up Steve?

511
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, are's a going Thanks for having me on

512
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 6: kind of answer your question again offense versus defense. I

513
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 6: think if they stay at twenty eight, which you know

514
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 6: we know with being that might not happen. If they

515
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 6: stay at twenty eight, I really do see a scenario

516
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 6: where they end up going defense simply because you know,

517
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 6: being to show us that he's a really big, best

518
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 6: player available guy. And at that point we might see

519
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 6: a run on quarterback and a run on receiver and

520
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 6: there might be that defensive player that maybe we don't

521
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 6: think of. You know, safety the end is a need,

522
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 6: but they just are going to say, oh, he's so

523
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 6: high up on our board, we can't not take him.

524
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 6: And like you guys are saying, having depth in the

525
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 6: receiver of this class gone off to the third round,

526
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 6: I could see them, you know, taking best player available

527
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 6: defense at round one and then being able to then

528
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 6: double dip at two and four rounds, you know, getting

529
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 6: two quality guys. I just think the way that being

530
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 6: drafts in the years past, they obviously probably want receiver,

531
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 6: but they're not gonna let that super sede if someone

532
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 6: you know, a big time player on their board falls

533
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 6: to them. And I'll hang up and let you guys listen. Thanks.

534
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that all makes a lot of sense. And you're right,

535
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: you can't anticipate where there's gonna be a run on quarterbacks,

536
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: run on offensive tackles, one run on wide receivers. But

537
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: a lot of those three positions are going to be

538
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: at the top of this draft. And if you want

539
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: one of those positions, twenty eight is not optimal. It's

540
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: a real question. I don't know, if you think about it,

541
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't feel comfortable unless we were inside twenty then

542
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: you think, okay, we'll probably get a shot at one

543
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah. Right.

544
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: The thing that the interesting point that Steve brings up though,

545
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: is if it's gonna be an offensive heavy first round. Yes,

546
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks and maybe all those offensive tackles, which is

547
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: another position you're not in to diere need of may

548
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: push the receiver talent down to you. But I think

549
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: it's a four gone conclusion. Three of those receivers are

550
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: going in round in the top ten. So with that

551
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: in mind, is it plausible to think that it's more

552
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: likely the best of the best on the defensive side

553
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: of the ball are there for you at twenty eight

554
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: rather than one of the top five or six receivers.

555
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: I think it is more likely because everybody's taken offense. Yeah,

556
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean Atlanta might take a pass rusher at eight.

557
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: After that, somebody's probably taken Byron Murphy between ten and fifteen,

558
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: the defensive tackle from Texas, and then maybe a corner

559
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: or two Quinnon, Mitchell, maybe Terry and Arnold. So you're

560
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: talking maybe four defensive players off the board, maybe five

561
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: total by the time you get to the Bills. If

562
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: the Bills can get the sixth best defensive player in

563
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: the draft or the sixth best receiver in the draft,

564
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: what do you think they're doing?

565
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: Maybe here's the thing though you're talking about setting an

566
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: unbelievable record. Let's just say it goes close to the

567
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: record and say they do they get twenty offensive players

568
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: off the board in the first round. That means all

569
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: the way to thirty two, not twenty eight. So you're

570
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna have maximum Even if even if nine, twenty nine, thirty,

571
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: thirty one, thirty two are all offensive players, you're still

572
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: at fifteen. That give you has twelve guys.

573
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you're the Bills are obviously gonna do whatever

574
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 2: their board says. But as you hear Brandon say all

575
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: the time, if it's close, we got two guys, and

576
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: it's close, we lean towards knee.

577
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: Sure, so it should be think about it. If there's

578
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty and say all twenty of them are gone before

579
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: the Bills, that means there's still six seven guys top

580
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: defensive players that are waiting from twenty one through twenty

581
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: seven that you got to you know, it's intriguing. My

582
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: gosh's making my head hurt.

583
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: Take a break so Steve can massage his temples, and

584
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: we'll be back with one more segment here on One

585
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: Bill's Life. Stay with us, all right, what's the more

586
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: likely scenario for the Bills during the twenty twenty four

587
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: NFL Draft two wide receivers in the first two days

588
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: or a defensive player in round one. We go to

589
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet brought to by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

590
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and the

591
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: Obi Wan. The Obie Kwan says, I'll be stunned if

592
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: a team with a defensive minded head coach would double

593
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: up on wide receiver with their first two picks. Stranger

594
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: things have happened, Andrews says, in my mock draft, I

595
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: have the Bills picking Jackson Powers Johnson, but if Pittsburgh

596
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: decides to take him, then I would change my approach

597
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 2: draft of defense player. Would really like them to get

598
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: another linebacker, with Malano being a question mark for when

599
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: he can return as a full participant. Yeah, but I

600
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: don't think you got to do that in the first round.

601
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: I'll be surprised if a linebacker is taken in round

602
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: one that isn't an edge Rusher's.

603
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Right, and there's a big This is a draft also

604
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: where it might be the first one for a long

605
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: time that doesn't have a running back in the first round.

606
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: Last year, was one and that's it. So it's it's

607
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: a strange draft in a lot of ways. I guess

608
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: we've got one more room for one more draft question

609
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: before the draft actually happens. Maybe the question should be,

610
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: what's the last guy available at wide receiver that you

611
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: take at twenty eight before trading out? Right?

612
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: Write that one down while I read the next week.

613
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll remember it from David.

614
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: Fifty one percent of Bills fans on x are delusional.

615
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: The only way the Bills picked two wide receivers in

616
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: the first three rounds is if they acquire a third

617
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: round pick. Maybe trade pick twenty eight for a pick

618
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: in the forties and a third That is an option,

619
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: and I think if the cupboard is bare on their

620
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: value board by the time it's getting closer to their

621
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: pick of twenty eight, they might look to move out.

622
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: And I wouldn't have a problem with that because I

623
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: think the receiver draft is deep enough where you can

624
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 2: get a quality player high round two and you may

625
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: be able to double up and get another round three.

626
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Let's double up, double up.

627
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 2: That's it for us today. We'll see you tomorrow as

628
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: we sit two days away from the draft,
