Speaker 1: This One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: It's a new week and we are ever closer to

3
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: the NFL draft. Chris Brown Matti lab with you here

4
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live. We hope you all enjoyed fake

5
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: summer over the weekend, those of you that live in

6
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: western New York, because it is gone and who knows

7
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: when it will return. I thought we had fake spring.

8
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: One fake spring too. Steve and I have talked about this, Maddie.

9
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: Last weekend, we experienced fake summer. Eighty six degrees.

10
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: It felt so good.

11
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: I was like an outdoor pet for the entire weekend.

12
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: I was just laying in the sun outside.

13
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: I wanted no responsibilities. I just wanted to be outside

14
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: with my friends. That was my one responsibility for myself

15
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: this weekend. I accomplished it. Got nine holes of golf in.

16
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: It was great.

17
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 5: Oh that is good.

18
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was doing the old outdoor spring cleanup thing,

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: you know, getting the yard and order and finding out

20
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: what's growing there that shouldn't be.

21
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: And we have homeowner things, yeah, a lot.

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: Of homeowner stuff. We have an inordinate Yeah. The only

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: person that really relaxed this weekend was my dog. She

24
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: sat in the sun on the back patio without a

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: care in the world. So she had it made while

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: my wife and I were doing stuff around the house

27
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: for like the last two days, and then like eight

28
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: o'clock last night, it was the end of days.

29
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 5: Oh my god, we lost power, that's wild.

30
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: From those severe thunderstorms that came through Windy and we

31
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: didn't get power back till about three or four in

32
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: the morning. And you know, you're you're in the middle

33
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: of the night, and then all of a sudden, like

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: the hall light pops on again. It's like, oh, forgot

35
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: to turn that off, but who knew it was on

36
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: because the power was out, And then you're too lazy

37
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: to get up to turn it off while it's shining

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: in your eyes. So that that's yeah, it was. It

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: was an interesting exclamation point to the weekend. And I'm

40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: convinced it's fake summer because on Tuesday here there's a

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: chance of snow yep.

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: And it's cold today, cold and gloomy. Yeah, but you

43
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: know what, it's not so cold because the players are.

44
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 5: Back, is right the building.

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: Voluntary off season conditioning program begins today and players, you know,

46
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: doing their workout thing, which is really the majority of

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: what they can do here in phase one of the

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: off season conditioning program, and some classroom time can be

49
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: done as well, but no stuff on the field with

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: the members the coaching staff. It's pretty much just the

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: strength and conditioning staff and that is it. So just

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: working on bulking up, getting their conditioning ready so they

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: can practice at a speed and a tempo that Coach

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: McDermott likes them to practice with the proper amount of conditioning.

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: Between now and the time OTAs roll around in just

56
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: a few weeks, probably like mid May or so is

57
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: when they get started. And then the clock, the whole

58
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: clock goes rolling again, and before we know we're gonna blank,

59
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be June Mini Camp, and then training camp

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: will be here and we be going down the through

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: way to Saint John Fisher.

62
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the next nine weeks are gonna fly by,

63
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: because Phase one is two weeks, Phase two is three weeks,

64
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: and then Phase three is the rest of the nine weeks,

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: so four weeks long, and that's when OTAs and all

66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: of that begins, and Rookie Mini Camp is going to

67
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: be here before we know it too. Those rookie rookies

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: are gonna be at one Bill's Drive and experiencing their

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: new home as the NFL Draft is just a short

70
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: two weeks away, and there.

71
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 5: Is Bill's news as well.

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: It had been reported by multiple sources since last week

73
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: and became official today. Aj Klein re signs with the Bills.

74
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: This is going to be his third stint with the team,

75
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: if you will, because he signed here originally as a

76
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: free agent back in twenty twenty, then was not here

77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two because he was released after the

78
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one season in a salary cap maneuver, and

79
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: then he got released by the Bears. After spending time

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: with the Ravens and the Bears. Last season, the Bills

81
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: picked him up off waivers and had him for the

82
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: last six games of the regular season in the playoffs,

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: and you know, a free agent after this year back

84
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: in the fold. And you know, I think that veteran

85
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: presence at the position that has been vacated by Tremaine Edmunds,

86
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: who went you know, off to Chicago and free agency

87
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: might have Bills fans breathing a little easier because nothing

88
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: against Tyrel Dodds and Terrell Bernard, who are probably more

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: than capable middle linebackers. I don't want to dismiss what

90
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 2: they bring to the table. I just think aj Klein

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: has a proven track record as a ten year NFL veteran.

92
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he brings that veteran presence. He also brings the

93
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: run stopping ability that this defense sometimes needs when they

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: decide to add a third linebacker on the field. And

95
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: I know at times he was a part of just

96
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: two linebackers on the field. He's somebody who has has

97
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 4: made it through being on and off this team several times.

98
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: And he's a linebacker that I was not surprised to

99
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: see him added back to this roster. I was kind

100
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: of waiting for this to happen just because of what

101
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: he provides to this team. And I think how the

102
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: coaching staff and Sean McDermott really trust.

103
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: Him and his ties with Sean McDermot go all the

104
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: way back to Carolina when he played there at linebacker

105
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: in the same system. So a guy that walks in

106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: the door knows the system like the back of his hand.

107
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 5: Hey, let's not forget.

108
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean last year they picked come up off Waivers

109
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: played in that Detroit game.

110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: And lit it up. I mean, he had a.

111
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: Great game, making plays in the open field and whatnot.

112
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: So I think he certainly showed he has a lot

113
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: of gas left in the tank. So good to get

114
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: him back in the fold for sure, at a position

115
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: you know, that has a vacant starting job, and so

116
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: that makes the competition at that position all the more

117
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: interesting with you know, the guys we mentioned already, Klein,

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: Dotson and Bernard probably the prime players at least for now,

119
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: and then if another another one could be very well

120
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: added in the draft, which would only increase that competition

121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: all the more. And you know, we'll have to wait

122
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: and see what comes in the three nights of the

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: draft and whether they add to the position again. So

124
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: that's that's the major news on the Bills roster front,

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: you know. And then we anticipate that we'll be hearing

126
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: from Brandon Bean tomorrow. General managers set to a dress

127
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: the media tomorrow. I don't think a time is out

128
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: on that yet, but we're anticipating he'll be addressing the

129
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: media and probably answering draft related questions, questions about the roster,

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So we'll have that covered for you

131
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: here on the show tomorrow. If and when that takes

132
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: place and probably get a lot more answers on you know,

133
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: what he thinks about the roster going forward and heading

134
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: into the draft.

135
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 5: As we know he says this all the time, Maddie.

136
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: He likes to fill as many holes as possible in

137
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: free agency so we can kind of go into the

138
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: draft with somewhat of a clear conscience, like, oh my god,

139
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: I got to get myself position X in the draft.

140
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't like going into the draft like that, and

141
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: I think the aj Clin signing is another example of that.

142
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to hear from him right after some

143
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: of the first few free agency moves were made. I

144
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: think he spoke to us maybe two days after free

145
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: agency started mid March, when they had a few they

146
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: had made a few moves, but there were seven role

147
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: after he spoke as well. So I'm interested to hear

148
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: from him and hear what he has to say on

149
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: what he thinks of the guys that he's brought in

150
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: in this free agency class and kind of where they

151
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: stand ahead of the NFL Draft. And hopefully we get

152
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: to hear from a few players too. Will be good

153
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: to hear from those guys, maybe Josh Allen as well.

154
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go around the NFL, presented by Kaleida Health,

155
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. The biggest

156
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: news on the NFL front today is Jalen Hurtz has

157
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: signed his Monster, or at least he's agreed to terms

158
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: on his Monster contract extension. And I think we all

159
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: anticipated that this was going to happen at some point.

160
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 5: It wasn't a matter of if, more a matter of when.

161
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: But it's a five year, two hundred and fifty five

162
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: million dollar extension, one hundred and seventy nine million of

163
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: which is guaranteed, and it also contains a no trade clause.

164
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: So pretty interesting as to why the no trade clause

165
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: is what might be the most interesting thing of the

166
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: whole thing to me, Maddie, because I don't know, maybe

167
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: his agents are like, well, we've seen this team turn

168
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: on a quarterback before Carson Wentz. I wonder if that's

169
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: why they kind of put it in there, like you

170
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: can't trade me to Team X, you know, send me

171
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: to a barren wasteland in the NFL.

172
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: You can't send me to a crumy team.

173
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: It's the first no trade clause in Eagles history.

174
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I found that very interesting that it was

175
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: included in the contract. It's like, this team is committing

176
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: to you for five years, giving you a giant amount

177
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: of money, and you want to know trade Like it

178
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: was just I don't know, it just it struck me

179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: as strange, you know what I mean, because when franchise

180
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: quarterbacks sign and look, when some of these franchise quarterbacks

181
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: get to the end of their careers, things change.

182
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 5: But this guy's getting old. Yeah, he's going to get to.

183
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: The end of this deal and still be in his prime,

184
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So that's why it struck

185
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: me as strange as to why I would assume he

186
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: wants it in there, especially since it's the first no

187
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: trade clause the Eagles have ever agreed to in a contract.

188
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 5: So I don't know.

189
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll get more clarity on it when they have

190
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: the big formal press conference and he's asked about it.

191
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 5: I'm sure he will be. But he's locked up.

192
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: For the next five years with the Eagles, which probably

193
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: makes every Philadelphia Eagles fan pretty happy. DeAndre Hopkins the

194
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: saga continues, Maddy. We're now at the point where DeAndre

195
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: Hopkins is making news with facial expressions and body language

196
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: for those that don't know. DeAndre Hopkins was interviewed and

197
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: he was told not to give verbal responses, but just

198
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: provide body language.

199
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 5: When he was asked.

200
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: A team in the NFL that he would like to

201
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 2: be traded to. The first team that was posed to

202
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: him were the New England Patriots. He kind of looked away,

203
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: shrugged it off. The next team he was asked about

204
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: were the Buffalo Bills.

205
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 5: Smile, and he kind of smirked and.

206
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: You know, raised his eyebrows like, well, you know it

207
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: could happen, that'd be nice. And then he was asked

208
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: about the Jets, same reaction as the Patriots. And then

209
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: he was asked about the chief same reaction as the Bills.

210
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 2: So now it has been deduced that DeAndre Hompkins would

211
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: prefer to play for the Bills or Chiefs via trade

212
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: at some point in twenty twenty three. Now the thing

213
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: about this, and he also tweeted out over the weekend,

214
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to.

215
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: Raise well, good thing, Bud, because you.

216
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,359
Speaker 3: Got thirty more million of money, you got thirty.

217
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: Four million left on your contract in base salary. That's

218
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: gonna be hard for a lot of teams to fit

219
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: with all the money that most of these teams have

220
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: spent in free agency already, they all have to account

221
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: and set aside money for their rookie class.

222
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 5: You know that they're gonna scoop up in.

223
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: The draft, So yeah, it's gonna be a I think

224
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a challenge for just about any team

225
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: to fit thirty four million left in base salary over

226
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: two seasons. Like if he wants to spread that out,

227
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: no new money and put some of that into a

228
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: bonus so they could spread out that money too. He

229
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: gets money in his pocket guaranteed, well then maybe something

230
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: can be worked out. But I think even that would

231
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: be an uphill climb for the Bills to fit.

232
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you relate it to the Bills and the

233
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 4: cap space that they have left don't have left, however

234
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: you want to phrase that, we knew it was going

235
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: to be tight.

236
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: Going into the NFL Draft.

237
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: Per Brandon Bean, from what he said at the combine

238
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 4: and what he said right after free agency, this is

239
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 4: not a team who is a team that's trying to

240
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 4: find their ways and trying to make their roster and

241
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: trying to add these big name weapons and pieces to

242
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: be the foundation of something. This is a team that's

243
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 4: already done that and they're just trying to add the

244
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: last final pieces. Would it be wonderful to have DeAndre

245
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: Hopkins as one of those last pieces to this twenty

246
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: twenty three roster.

247
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: It would be incredible. I would love it. I'd be

248
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: such a big fan of that move.

249
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: But a lot of things would have to happen, I

250
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: think for that to start to come to fruition.

251
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: And I mean Brandon even said it, you know, right

252
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the off season, like, don't look

253
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: for big moves from us.

254
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: He said, von Miller is our big move this year too.

255
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I would be surprised if there was a

256
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: way that such an arrangement was broker Stranger things have

257
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: happened in this league, as we know. I mean, nobody

258
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: expected von Miller last year either, and that came to

259
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: fruition out of nowhere when he expressed interest in joining

260
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: the Bills. So I wonder if body language equates to

261
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: von Miller lobbing a phone call and saying, Hey, I'd

262
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: like to play for you guys. So there's that that's

263
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: still out there. Speaking of Cardinals wide, receivers. The receiver

264
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: formerly known as Robbie Anderson, now known as Chosen Anderson,

265
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,119
Speaker 2: has signed with the Miami Dolphins on a one year contract.

266
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: So the Dolphins add more speed to their receiving corps.

267
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: That might be the That trio is probably faster than

268
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 2: anything that anybody else can put out on the field

269
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: right now, which is daunting. It's a daunting challenge for

270
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: any NFL defense, and the Bills are gonna have to

271
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: look at it twice a year.

272
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 5: Now, that's a pretty good trio.

273
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: I imagine, Maddie that the Dolphins probably don't sign Chosen

274
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: Anderson if they were able to get Trent Sherfield back.

275
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: But as we know, Trent Chirfield is now a Buffalo Bill,

276
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: which kind of caught by all reports and all accounts

277
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: from South Florida publications caught the team players by surprise

278
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: that Churfield signed with the Bills, But there it is.

279
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: And so now the Dolphins pivot and they signed Chosen Anderson, who,

280
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: let's not forget, went complete head case in Carolina and

281
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: got released under an interim coach down there.

282
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: And then landed with Arizona.

283
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: So it was just I don't know, he seems very mercurial,

284
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: very mercurial type of player based on his recent history, especially.

285
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: In this Dolphins team.

286
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have some speed, but the big question is

287
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: going to be can the guy throw on the rock

288
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: stay healthy enough to get the ball to the speedy

289
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: receivers that are going to be on the field.

290
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: Right. Yeah, it'll be interesting because.

291
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: He was such a difference maker for them when he

292
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: was healthy.

293
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 5: And we were talking about this last week.

294
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: You know, the NFL is in partnership with that Vice's company,

295
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: and they've got the new quarterback helmet. We're all expecting

296
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: that two is going to be first in line to

297
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: put that thing on, because if it improves or reduces

298
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: the rate of concussions, I think the study said by

299
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: seven percent.

300
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: He'll take it. Anything to reduce the risk.

301
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: He should be all about because after getting three, possibly

302
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: four with one undiagnosed in week three concussions in a

303
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: short proximity of time, getting another one within the span

304
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: of a calendar.

305
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: Year would would not be good for the future of

306
00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: his playing.

307
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: The Jets are trying to get their prized defensive lineman

308
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Quinn Williams signed to a long term contract extension. They

309
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: are making progress, but nothing yet. So he is not

310
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: going to report to Jets voluntary offseason training today. I mean,

311
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: this is a perennial Pro Bowl player and they signed

312
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: his brother to a contract extension this offseason, the linebacker

313
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: who's on the roster, but they have not gotten the

314
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: other brother signed up, who I would argue was probably

315
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: the more important of the two players, quite frankly. So yeah,

316
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: do I think it'll get done? Yeah, eventually. You know,

317
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: it makes me wonder, Maddie, you're trying to get this

318
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers trade consummated.

319
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 6: Yep.

320
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: And there's gonna be money that's going to have to

321
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: be committed to that. And I wonder if some of

322
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: the salary cap specialists in the Jets front officer, like, look,

323
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: before you start promising more and more and more money

324
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: to Quinn Williams, we got to figure out the Rogers

325
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: thing and make sure that fits before we know how much,

326
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: especially if he wants bonus money. You know, well, I

327
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: want this much guaranteed, or I want this much in

328
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 2: a signing bonus, And it's like, well, I don't know

329
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: if we can fit that right now. We may have

330
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: to move some of that money around. Why don't we

331
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: get Rogers done first, then we'll figure out the rest

332
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: of this.

333
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: With Quinn Williams. I wonder if that's a part of

334
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 5: the sticking point.

335
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's had eighteen sacks in the last two seasons.

336
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 4: He's been a productive player for this Jets defensive line.

337
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 4: And I saw the alert come across my phone this morning,

338
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: and I didn't see the player's name, so I assumed

339
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: it was Rogers. Like, oh, the two sides are still

340
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: working on something, but you know, there's no news, but

341
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 4: we're still reporting that there's no news. So wonder if

342
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 4: this Quinn Williams news, not really that it is news

343
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: that anything has happened, but I wonder if now that

344
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: they're talking about Quinn Williams, if a Rogers deal is.

345
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: So well, yeah, I mean you and I were talking

346
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: about it last week and deadlines, how deadline is kind

347
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: of prompt things to get done, and so I know

348
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: we're kind of looking at the draft as the first

349
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: quote unquote hard deadline, especially if the Packers do want

350
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: draft capital in this year's draft. So we were thinking

351
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: maybe Tuesday, Wednesday next week, you know, the day or

352
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: two before the draft. Perhaps that's probably the soonest it

353
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: will happen. I mean, it could always happen tomorrow today

354
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: for gosh sakes, but it's probably more likely then. And

355
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: then if you get past the draft, I think things

356
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: get really interesting and then Jets Nation goes into a

357
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: full on panic where they're just shaken.

358
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 4: I think probability starts to drop off after the draft.

359
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I maybe he knows the offense, right.

360
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: We know he knows the offense because Nathaniel Hacketts there.

361
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: He's gonna run the same system that Rogers has played

362
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: in for the last handful of years.

363
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: So there's that.

364
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: So maybe the urgency isn't as you know, you're not

365
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: as anxious to get him in because you know he

366
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 2: knows the system, but you do have to get on

367
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: the field with new teammates, timing and all of that,

368
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: especially in a passing game. So yeah, I wonder if

369
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: it doesn't get done before the draft, the next drop

370
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: point is probably the start of camp, and then the

371
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: Packers absolutely have to have him off their roster before

372
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: Week one of the season otherwise they're on the hook

373
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: for the money.

374
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 5: So that's like the absolute latest that it can happen.

375
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 4: And say, what if it happens after the draft, so

376
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 4: news comes out whenever after the draft, Aaron Rodgers plays

377
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: one year for the Jets, decides to hang it up,

378
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 4: and the Jets have given lots of draft picks away

379
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: for next year's draft.

380
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: What a situation.

381
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and I think that's I think that's part

382
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: of why this hasn't been agreed upon yet. I think

383
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: there's so much uncertainty around twenty twenty four.

384
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 5: From Rogers just because each of the last.

385
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: Three years it's been this off season sojourn with look

386
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: at me, look at me, Aaron Riis what am I

387
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: going to do?

388
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 7: You know?

389
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's turned into its own soap opera

390
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: every off season, and I think the uncertainty of that

391
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: is part of the issue here as to why it's

392
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: not done already. And they're probably haggling over what the

393
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: compensation from next year should be, whether there's draft capital

394
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: involved or contract guarantees for Rogers.

395
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: So that's probably the mess.

396
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: Isn't it kind of ironic that they're trying to acquire

397
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 2: a player whose own personality could be holding up the

398
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: deal as it pertains to twenty twenty four, It's just like.

399
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 5: It's rife with irony. It's just unbelievable. Uh.

400
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterbacks, Anthony Richardson the University of Florida quarterback

401
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: prospect is running through it this week. Titans, Falcons Ravens

402
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: all pre draft visits this week. He is on the

403
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: banquet circuit big time. And this is when and I've

404
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: talked to players about this after they've been drafted, especially

405
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: offensive linemen.

406
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 5: They're like, you got to be careful when you're on

407
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 5: these pre draft visits because you're eating here, there, everywhere.

408
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you turn around and you like,

409
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: you put on fifteen, which linemen can do in the

410
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: drop of a hat. But even you know, guys like this,

411
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: you know they're getting taken out to dinner, Rabbi steaks

412
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: and all.

413
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 5: You know all that.

414
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you step on a scale and

415
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: you've gained like eight to ten pounds. You're like, where

416
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: the heck did that come from? Because they're gonna be

417
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: whinding and dying on them all three of these teams.

418
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 5: And it's interesting.

419
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: I think the biggest mystery right now, Maddie, with respect

420
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 2: to the quarterbacks, I think the general can census is

421
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: that young and Straud will go one two.

422
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: But now there is.

423
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: Dissenting opinion on that. Some believe that Richardson could flirt

424
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: with number one, flirt with number two pick.

425
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: Maybe a team leapfrogs.

426
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: The Colts at four, goes up to three where Arizona

427
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: is and takes him.

428
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think he could be the third

429
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 5: quarterback off the board.

430
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: I think he could too.

431
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 4: I think that's where just because of the potential, and

432
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 4: I think the the question mark that you get with him,

433
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 4: but the sexy question mark that you get with him

434
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: and this guy, look at the measurables, look at what

435
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 4: he can do, Look at how you can compare him

436
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 4: to quarterbacks in today's NFL, like Josh Allen, like a

437
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: Cam Newton. I know he's not in today's NFL anymore,

438
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: but plays to that type of caliber, that type of physicality,

439
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 4: has the legs, is a big guy. Can you get

440
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: him in with the right staff who can really grow him,

441
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 4: just like it worked out with the Bills and Josh Allen.

442
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 4: I mean, Josh was not a polished item when he

443
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: came to Buffalo, and the offensive staff did a wonderful

444
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 4: job in creating what he is today. Can somebody do

445
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 4: that with Anthony Richardson And I think the appeal somebody's

446
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: gonna take a chance on on the what could be?

447
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's too sexy not.

448
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 5: To And I'm just gonna say it now.

449
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: He is significantly faster as a runner then Josh or

450
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: Cam Newton, Like this guy can move what he run

451
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 2: four four three?

452
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 5: I think of the combine that's stupid.

453
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: Yeahs were incredible.

454
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 2: It's like James Cook speed Ye's not and he's and

455
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: he's like six foot four, you know, two hundred and

456
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: twenty something pounds.

457
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 4: So I hope it works out for him too, because

458
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: he's going to be so fun to watch.

459
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 3: He's going to be so much fun.

460
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: He's going to be so many kids's favorite player because

461
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: he's so electrifying a watch, like you said, and the

462
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 4: team that decides to take a chance on him, I

463
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: hope it works out.

464
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

465
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: I mean there are a lot of people who are

466
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: of the opinion that he should sit a here improve

467
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 2: his passing accuracy, which at times was like we need

468
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: some work on that. It's not that he doesn't have

469
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: the physical tools, but can he refine those tools to

470
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: be an effective, efficient, and consistent quarterback.

471
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 5: That is the challenge.

472
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: I think the most encouraging thing that I've read about

473
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 2: him is the fact that the willingness to improve his

474
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: game is there by all accounts, and that's half the battle,

475
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: because you could have all the talent in the world,

476
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: but at this level, unless you are committed to making

477
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 2: yourself a better player every single day, you're not going

478
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: to get there. So if he's got what is necessary,

479
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: you know, in his heart and between his ears, to

480
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: be a better player than he is right now, well

481
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: then it's all in front of him.

482
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 5: He could be very, very, very successful in this league.

483
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: And you know, you look at those teams that he's

484
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 2: meeting with this week, they may not.

485
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: Even get a sniff of them.

486
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the Falcons pick eight, the Titans pick eleven,

487
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 2: and the Ravens pick twenty two.

488
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: Like, you might have to move up if you want

489
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: Anthony richards.

490
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: Well, if you're the Ravens, you definitely will. How crazy

491
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 2: would that be though?

492
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 5: Could you imagine if the Ravens move up in the.

493
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: Draft, take Anthony Richardson and then trade Lamar Jackson.

494
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 5: I don't think they would do that, but they would

495
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 5: do this.

496
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 2: They would let Lamar play on his franchise tag this

497
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: year and get Richardson ready for next year and basically

498
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: have the same kind of talent coming.

499
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 5: Out in the draft.

500
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: Wow power move.

501
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 5: That would be a hardcore power that.

502
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 4: Screams NBA to me, NBA drama.

503
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: And it would be it would be seismic, but that

504
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: would be the ultimate.

505
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Lamar, how do you like them apples? I mean,

506
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 5: that's what it would.

507
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: Be, and we can move on like we were just saying.

508
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: It would behoove the team that drafts him to have

509
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: some kind of stopgap or bridge quarterback as the starter

510
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: in this kid's rookie year so he can kind of

511
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: get up to speed and get ready and then if

512
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: for some reason he's on some kind of fast track

513
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 2: and he's doing great, well, yeah put him in.

514
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 5: But short of that, let.

515
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: Him learn on the job this year and then next year,

516
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: do what you gotta do. And I wouldn't put it

517
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: past the Ravens, you know. And this is all assuming

518
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: Lamar evens signs the franchise tag, which is a complete

519
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: unknown at this point in time, because I could see

520
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: him digging his heels in there and costing himself another

521
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: thirty two million dollars and not sign it and sit out.

522
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: And I think that's why the Ravens are thinking like this, like, hey,

523
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: we got to insulate ourselves in case this guy decides

524
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: he's gonna play hardball with us and not come to camp.

525
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: Let's have other answers. And I think that's why they

526
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: are considering quarterback, whether it's at twenty two or whether

527
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: they're looking to move up.

528
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 5: To get one of the top three or four guys.

529
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 4: I mean when a Obj signed there, it was he

530
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: was even asked about do you think you're gonna play

531
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: with Lamar?

532
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 5: And I hope so, but I said, I was given

533
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 5: no promises.

534
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just like to but I don't know

535
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen.

536
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: And I applaud the Ravens for taking that approach with OBJ.

537
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: It's like, look, I don't know what he's thinking, Like

538
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: he could say one thing to us, but we can't

539
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: guarantee that because it's his choice. At the end of

540
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: the day, we did everything we could. We extended the

541
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: franchise tag, you know this, that and the other. We've

542
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: tried to negotiate in good faith. Nothing's happened.

543
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 5: The ball is in his court now.

544
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: So there's no way for us as a team to

545
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: guarantee you that he's going to be here when it's

546
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: up to him. So, I mean it kind of is

547
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: trending towards him playing on the Tag this year. Maybe

548
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: he unwillingly shows up four days before Week one and

549
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: then plays because he knows he's not going to help

550
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: his value by not playing.

551
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 5: He's got to know that.

552
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and how does Jalen Hurts his contract affect his now? Well,

553
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 4: the longer you wait, the more money the other quarterbacks

554
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 4: get thrown. And we've talked about yes, Lamar Jackson has

555
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 4: missed out on money, but when quarterbacks when the market

556
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: keeps going higher and higher and higher and starts to skyrocket,

557
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: you compare him to a Jalen Hurts. Okay, what is

558
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 4: Lamar going to get paid if Jalen Hurts is going

559
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 4: to make this much money?

560
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 6: Well?

561
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: Right, I think the only way that the Hurts contract

562
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: helps the Ravens and other teams in line to resign

563
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: quarterbacks is not all of the money was guaranteed. And

564
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: I think that's that's going to help the Ravens at

565
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: the market.

566
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 4: BA thing is he wanted all that guaranteed.

567
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: Exactly because I'm trying. I'm going to do some quick

568
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: math on my calculator here, and you would seventy percent

569
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: of his contract was guaranteed money seventy, not all seventy.

570
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: And that guy just took his team to an NFC

571
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: title last year, which Lamar cannot say in terms of

572
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: what he's done in the playoffs. Yep. So there's that

573
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: topic of discussion for you today though, concerns the Bills

574
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: and the draft. How have the bills signings in free

575
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: agency thus far changed your approach to the draft as

576
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: it pertains to the Bills. And we just had another

577
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: addition today. Aj Klein just resigned with the Bills. Today,

578
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: you look at some of their other moves. Couple of

579
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: receivers signed in Trent Sherfield and Deontay Hardy, couple of

580
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 2: lineup and signed and Connor McGovern and David Edwards. They

581
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: got their defensive tackle Jordan Phillips back, Jordan Poyer's back

582
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: in the fold along with Taylor Rap. How have all

583
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: these free agent additions changed your approach to the Bill's

584
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: draft in just over a week and a half. You

585
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: let us know at ATO three oh five fifty one

586
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,920

596
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: agency changed your approach to the Bill's Draft. Maybe you're like,

597
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, we gotta get this in the draft,

598
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,440

599
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: all right, I would rather have this in the draft now.

600
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: So you let us know if your approach to the

601
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: Bill's draft and what you think they need to come

602
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: away with has changed since all the free agent additions,

603
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: including the re signing of AJ Klein. Today eight h

Speaker 2: three zero five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two

605
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: five fifty the number to get on board. But in

606
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: the meantime, with Maddy here and a new week upon us,

607
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: it is time to review the latest iteration of Bill's

608
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: Mock Draft Watch eight point zero. I know as uh

609
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: what Maddie tallies up the draft experts picks for the

610
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: Bill's selection at number twenty seven overall, take it away, Matt.

611
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 4: All right, let's start out with overall, because we're updating

612
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: our positions and our favorite players. So we've tracked one

613
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty nine total mock drafts since the middle

614
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: of January, and offensive line still the favorite position. Interior

615
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: offensive lineman have been mocked to the Bills twenty four times,

616
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 4: offensive tackles twelve. Next favorite position to get mocked to

617
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 4: the Bills at twenty seven is running back being mocked

618
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: to the Bills twenty six times, and then wide receiver

619
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 4: twenty three, linebacker twenty.

620
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: Two, and then our favorite players.

621
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 4: The guys who have been mocked to the Bills the

622
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 4: most at twenty seven, Bijon Robinson.

623
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: His name keeps popping up.

624
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 4: He's been mocked to the Bills twenty two times, and

625
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: I think of those twenty two twice he has been

626
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 4: mocked to the Bills of via the Bills trading up

627
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 4: in the draft. Two yes, number two is Osyrus Torrance

628
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: out of Florida. The interior offensive lineman. Jordan Addison, Drew Sanders,

629
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: and Brian Branch have all been mocked to the Bills

630
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: ten times. Jordan Addison and Drew Sanders are names that

631
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 4: have kind of shot up in.

632
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: The last three weeks.

633
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, gain steamed in the last three weeks because of

634
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: the fact that free agency is over. You're starting to

635
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 4: see maybe some holes left in the roster or some

636
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 4: needs based on what could be available. Jordan Addison and

637
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 4: Drew Sanders have been popular names that I've seen in

638
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 4: the last few mock draft watches that we've released, And

639
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 4: in the last Mock Draft Watch so eight point zero,

640
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 4: we tracked ten mock drafts. Of those ten, linebackers were

641
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: mocked to the Bills four times, wide receivers were mocked

642
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: to the Bills two times, defensive backs were mocked to

643
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 4: the Bills two times, and then the loan position groups

644
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: one edge rusher and one offensive lineman. The favorite names

645
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: out of Mock Draft Watch eight point oh. Drew Sanders

646
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 4: was mocked to the Bills twice and Jordan Addison was

647
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: mocked to the Bills twice.

648
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 5: So like.

649
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 4: Gaining steam in the last few weeks, kind of shot

650
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: up in terms of numbers with what we've seen, with

651
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 4: what I've tracked, Brian branch is still there.

652
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: He was on a mock draft watch.

653
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were talking about last week.

654
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: That was Charles Davis's mock draft from NFL dot Com.

655
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 3: I want to see if there were so.

656
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 5: He'll be in ray. He'll be a nine point zero

657
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 5: right the Charles Davis No, he was.

658
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 3: An eight point YEP.

659
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 4: I haven't started tracking anything for nine point oh yet,

660
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 4: but that's going to be released on Friday afternoon. There

661
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 4: was one trade in the latest mock draft watch. It

662
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: was an NFL dot Com mock draft had us trading

663
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 4: up to twenty to take Nolan Smith out of Georgia,

664
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: the lone edge rusher that was in this mock draft watch.

665
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 4: He's only that was the only time he's been mocked

666
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: to the Bills, and we've we talked about him last

667
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 4: week being more of a three four type player versus

668
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: the four to three couple size.

669
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 5: Yes, he's a little light.

670
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: He's not tall either, and I know ideally people would

671
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: prefer to have taller players at outside linebacker in a

672
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: three four you know, six four six three years of

673
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: pushing it, and.

674
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 5: He's six to and change.

675
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: I think he's got long arms though, which might help

676
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: make up for some of that. But I don't think

677
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: anybody's gonna shy away from Nolan Nolan Smith because he's

678
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: two inches shorter than the prototype.

679
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, because he's a super super talent.

680
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 3: He is very talented.

681
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 5: That's interesting.

682
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 2: I don't think we're surprised, Maddy that we see mixed

683
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 2: opinion with mock drafters. You see that every year, But

684
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: I think the difference with this class this year is

685
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: I think some of that mixed opinion is more widespread

686
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: across the nflgms as well, and so because of that,

687
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: I think we are in store for an even more

688
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 2: unpredictable draft than many of us anticipate, because I think,

689
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 2: you know, they always say, oh, well, it's what flavor

690
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: do you like? I think the opinion is going to

691
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: be mixed on a lot of people. And we heard

692
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 2: was it Greg Kose last Friday when we had him on.

693
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: He said from the people he has talked to, and

694
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: I would subscribe to this as well. There are some

695
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: players who are so liked by some teams they could

696
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 2: go as high as fifteen, and less liked to the

697
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: degree by other teams.

698
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 5: That they could go pick forty five.

699
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: That's a thirty pick swing, and that's it's probably not

700
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: just one player, it's probably several players that are viewed

701
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: that differently from one organization to another based on a

702
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 2: number of factors, as we know fit, body of work, background,

703
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, character, reputation, production, you know, measurables, all of

704
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: that stuff.

705
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 5: But there are no like rubber There are very few rubber.

706
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: Stamp prospects this year that everybody loves, especially once you

707
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: rule out the quarterbacks. The rubber stamp mark it down,

708
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: sure fire home run.

709
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 5: There are very few of those.

710
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: And because of that, I think we're going to have

711
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: these wide ranging, like swaths of picks that players could

712
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: go in.

713
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 4: And I'm seeing that on the Excel spreadsheet that I

714
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 4: have that I track all these different names. Last year,

715
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 4: there were around twenty six names that got mocked to

716
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 4: the Bills in the first round when they were choosing.

717
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 4: This year, we have had over forty different names be

718
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: mocked to the Bills with the first round pick. So

719
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 4: it's a wide variety and we've heard this from draft analysts.

720
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 4: It's a wide variety of who could be available at

721
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: that point, and it's a wide variety of what people

722
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 4: might like at that point in the draft. So I

723
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 4: think that's pretty interesting just to see the vast difference

724
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 4: from this year compared to last year in terms of

725
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 4: just names that I'm seeing so many different names rather

726
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 4: than last year not too many different names. We saw

727
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 4: the same names pop up quite a bit. But we

728
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 4: have a few names that I wanted to talk about.

729
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 4: If you want to do that. Darnell Right, we'll start

730
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 4: with him. I want to talk about him. Last week

731
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 4: we ran out of time, too bad. Steve is non

732
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 4: with us because Steve lives Darnell Right. He's an offensive

733
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: tackle out of Tennessee. He's six ' five three thirty three.

734
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 4: He's a senior coming out, so he's had a good

735
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 4: amount of game experience. He played in forty seven games,

736
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 4: started in forty two. He started at right tackle twenty

737
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: seven times, had two starts at right guard, thirteen starts

738
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 4: at left tackle. He started in his senior season, he

739
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 4: was a starter at right tackle. He did not allow

740
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 4: a sack in his final nineteen games. He ran a

741
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: five second forty, which is pretty good for a.

742
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 3: Guy that size.

743
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you turn on the tape, he's got strong hands.

744
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 4: He's got a powerful lower half that's hard to knock

745
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 4: off balance. I think that's some one thing that popped

746
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 4: out to me. His length definitely shows up on tape.

747
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 4: His size makes him tough to get by. His technique

748
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 4: isn't all the way there and can look sloppy at times,

749
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 4: I think due to.

750
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 3: His size as well.

751
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 4: But his athleticism makes up for it and he usually

752
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 4: gets the job done. You see some pancakes on tape two,

753
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 4: which is fun. Well, you think about Darnell Rights.

754
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 2: I think his feet are very good for somebody that big.

755
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: A lot of times you get guys north of three

756
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty pounds and it looks like they have

757
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: cement buckets for shoes, and he doesn't.

758
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 5: He's got pretty nimble feet.

759
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that they're that good to play on

760
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: the left side, you know where you're going against the

761
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: best of the best, but I think he can. He

762
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: can lock down right tackle for you pretty capably. The

763
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 2: only time I see him getting beat is if he's

764
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: a half second slow off the snap and he just

765
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 2: gets beat by a flat out speed rush guy dips

766
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: the shoulder gets under him, you know, and circles the

767
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: arc and gets the sack, or sometimes he will get

768
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: beat on a jab step outside and then the guy

769
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: takes an underneath move and he doesn't have his hands

770
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 2: out in time to make contact and the guy slips

771
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: underneath him and gets insideto the pocket to cause a

772
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: pressure or a sack as well. So that stuff that

773
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: you hope coaching takes care of as he gets more

774
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: and more.

775
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 5: Experience at this level. But you could do a lot.

776
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: Worse than Darnell Wright, you know, at the bottom round one.

777
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: If he's still there, I'm.

778
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: Just he's been throwing out the draft.

779
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 2: That's my concern that he's not even going to be

780
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: an option for Buffalo at twenty seven.

781
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 3: I know he was kind of a favorite name.

782
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 4: I don't want to say a favorite, but his name

783
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 4: was popping up frequently, I want to say a month ago,

784
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 4: month and a half ago. But now he hasn't been

785
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 4: mocked to the bills too often. He's popped up here

786
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 4: and there over the last couple of weeks, but not

787
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 4: as consistently as somebody like Drew Sanders or Jack Campbell

788
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 4: or Jordan Addison who's they've become popular names as of late.

789
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 4: Another offensive lineman that was mocked to the Bills early on,

790
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 4: and I really haven't seen his name pop up, but

791
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 4: it did pop up in the latest mock draft. Watch

792
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 4: is Cody mouk out of North Dakota State.

793
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 3: The Toothless Wonder, The toothless Wonder.

794
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 4: He's got this red long hair. He has no front teeth.

795
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 4: He doesn't want to put any front teeth in. He

796
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 4: got him knocked out at basketball game, I think, and

797
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 4: has just decided to keep that as a part of

798
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 4: his identity, which is an offensive lineman.

799
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 3: Like I love that.

800
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 4: He's six ' five, three hundred and two pounds.

801
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 3: He's a red shirt senior.

802
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 4: He played six years with North Dakota State because of

803
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 4: the COVID year, so he's had a lot of time

804
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 4: with this team. He played in sixty two games. He

805
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 4: played mostly at left tackle. In his final three seasons.

806
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 4: He had a five point eight forty which for his

807
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 4: size pretty good too. He participated in the Senior Bowl.

808
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 4: He had FCS All America honors and was FCS Offensive

809
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 4: Lineman of the Year last season. He played for a

810
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 4: program that went seventy eight and eight, so a really

811
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 4: good team when you look at the tape when you

812
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 4: watch the tape of this offensive line.

813
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: And he is a mean machine.

814
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 4: He will block you all the way back to where

815
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 4: you live. He does not stop blocking guys. It's so

816
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 4: fun to watch him on tape. He's a physical offensive lineman.

817
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 4: He can move defenders out of the way quite easily.

818
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 4: He looks pretty quick on his feet too. He can

819
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 4: move his run. Blocking is definitely his strength. He's got

820
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 4: some shorter arm length. His arms are shorter, so a

821
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 4: lot of people say that he might need to move

822
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 4: inside once he gets into the NFL, but this seems

823
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 4: like a fun guy to have on your roster first

824
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 4: round pick. I don't know he's I've seen him a

825
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 4: lot in the second round.

826
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: He's a second round guy, and I think the reason

827
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: why is because I wouldn't be surprised. About half the

828
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: league thinks he's a guard prospect instead of a tackle prospect.

829
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 2: I think he could do a lot worse than him also,

830
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 2: but I don't know. Watching him, I think he's a

831
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 2: guard also. I don't know if his feet are quite

832
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: good enough for the NFL level to play out there

833
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: on the edge in space, but I think he could do.

834
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: Who wonders for you at the guard position, especially as

835
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: you mentioned in the run front. We we are up

836
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 2: against the break here, so we got to step aside here.

837
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: We also got people waiting on the phone lines. We'll

838
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: get to you to talk draft when we return here

839
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, presented by Klaida Health.

840
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 5: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, we have returned One

841
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 5: Bill's Live.

842
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 2: Chris Brown medic Lab with you, and we are asking

843
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: you at eight oho three zero five fifty one eight

844
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five fifty how have the Bill's

845
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: signings and free agency thus far changed your approach to

846
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: the Bill's draft. We go to the phones now, and

847
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: leading us off here is Kevin in Hamburg.

848
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 5: What do you got first? Kevin? You're on One Bill's Live.

849
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, how you doing bak for taking my car?

850
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 6: Sure if we.

851
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: Can meet DeAndre Hopkins not saying we would not need

852
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: a receiver maybe later, but we would not need one

853
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: of any higher than five. If we can get DeAndre,

854
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: because how good he is, how he's even burned us

855
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: when he used to play against grenamious. If we don't

856
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: get him, then we should go someone no high, no

857
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: lower than two and all that, because how good DeAndre Is.

858
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: If we can get him, we maybe get some guy five,

859
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: you know, something like that.

860
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 5: You're talking round five, yeah, round five?

861
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, I mean obviously acquiring Hopkins would

862
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 2: change the equation just a little bit many.

863
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 5: I mean, my gosh, yeah, you get him.

864
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you may want to get another receiver

865
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: in the pipeline, but you certainly wouldn't feel compelled to

866
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: have to do that, although you do have you know,

867
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 2: Sherfield's on a one year deal. Had Gabe Davis is

868
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 2: in the last year of his rookie contract. So maybe

869
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: if you want to insulate yourself, you think about drafting

870
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: another one.

871
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 5: But yeah, you certainly wouldn't do it any earlier.

872
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a d hop on this roster. I'd

873
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 4: feel really good about not worrying about a wide receiver

874
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 4: until day three if they.

875
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 5: Choose to do so.

876
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 4: If that is, it's fine, it's fine. It's all good.

877
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 4: We don't need Jordan Adison anymore.

878
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones to Jack and cheek Dewaganax,

879
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: what do you got for us?

880
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 5: Jack?

881
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 7: I don't think the Bills see a first round value

882
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 7: at pick twenty seven, and I think it's probably the

883
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 7: consensus of most of the draft people that this draft

884
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 7: might have twenty twenty two, maybe twenty four people, but

885
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 7: it's not going to trickle down to the Bills. And

886
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 7: I don't see Brandon being trading down to take a

887
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 7: running back for one of the best passing attacks in

888
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 7: the league and give up draft picks and have fewer

889
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 7: draft picks than six. I think he's going to hope

890
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 7: that there's a quarterback hungry team that'll give him something

891
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 7: for twenty seven. And yet one or two of those

892
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 7: mind backers or tight ends in that in the early

893
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 7: picks in the second round. And I'd love to see Sanders,

894
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 7: and I love to see Darnel Washington. I do not

895
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 7: see him trading down. I see him trading back. Thanks guys, all.

896
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 5: Right, thank you.

897
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: When you say down, I guess you mean to a

898
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: lower number, meaning up the board to He was kind

899
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 2: of confusing with that, trading back not down to me,

900
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: those are the same thing. He means trading up for

901
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: a running back talent.

902
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 4: Or something like the question do you do you turn

903
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 4: your ac up or down?

904
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 5: Yeah?

905
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 2: For the degrees right right, because if the degrees go

906
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 2: down it will be cooler. But yeah, yeah, but I think.

907
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 5: We knew what he was saying there. I said this

908
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago.

909
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: I think Drew Sanders is worthy of a first round pick,

910
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: and the reason why is because I think he's a

911
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: two position player. I think what he offers you is

912
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 2: the ability to play linebacker on early downs, and then

913
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 2: when you're in an obvious passing situation, you can line

914
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: him up at the line of scrimmage as a pass rusher,

915
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 2: kick Greg Russo inside, let Von Miller go to work

916
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: on the other side, and then you can bring Terrell

917
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 2: Bernard or Tyrrel Dotson on the field as your third

918
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: down middle linebacker to play alongside Matt Mulano and off

919
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 2: you go, or even aj Klein now that he's back

920
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: on the roster. So that's the way I might be

921
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 2: inclined to do that, And because I see Sanders as

922
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: a two position player, I'd have no problem if the

923
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 2: Bills took him at twenty seven. Now do they feel

924
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: the same way, I don't know, but that's how I

925
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 2: see him, just from what his tape tells me, so

926
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't I probably wouldn't trade back or down or

927
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: out of the first round and still hope to get him.

928
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: And the other thing too, is like, if you think

929
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 2: he's like a borderline one to two guy, anyway, you

930
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 2: trade back five pay and wait to take him.

931
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 5: Just take the guy there if you like him that much.

932
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like your Sanders, I like Jack Campbell. I

933
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 4: wonder if any of those guys will go before the

934
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 4: Bills are on the clock at twenty seven. The more

935
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 4: that I look at mock drafts, the more that I

936
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 4: listen to analysts and listen to people on One Bill's Live,

937
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 4: the more that I become of the opinion of deciding

938
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 4: to trade back into the top of the second round

939
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 4: and making a move from there, just based on where

940
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 4: some of the mock drafts have people not falling to. Basically,

941
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 4: a lot of the wide receivers look to be off

942
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 4: the table by the time the Bills get there. Some

943
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 4: of the top tight ends in the draft class also

944
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 4: look to be off the top of the off the

945
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 4: table by the time the Bills are on the clock.

946
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 4: So I kind of like the idea of trading back

947
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 4: a few spots, and if that is getting a linebacker there,

948
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 4: then that's getting a linebacker there. If that's deciding to

949
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: pick up one of the best tight ends who still

950
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 4: might be available there. Then I can under stand that too.

951
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 4: But the point about there not being a lot of

952
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 4: first round grades or staffs scouting departments in different staffs

953
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 4: across different teams may not have a lot of guys

954
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 4: with first round grades. That might be a reason why

955
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 4: we're seeing so many different names pop up tied to

956
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 4: the Bills at number twenty seven, just because.

957
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 3: It is the top of the draft.

958
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, you know who's gonna go by then

959
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 4: you know what names are going to be called, not

960
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 4: in the specific order, but the back half of that draft,

961
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 4: the twenties, the late twenties. I'm sure every team is

962
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 4: getting mocked a lot of different names because of the

963
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 4: fact that this draft is really hard to figure out

964
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 4: that end of the first round, and if those guys

965
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 4: do have first round grades or not, I.

966
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: Think there are going to be plenty of takers for

967
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 2: a late first round pick. I know why you're concerned

968
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 2: that the cover might be bear, but I think, as

969
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: we're talking about earlier, with all the mixed opinion that

970
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: there is on the prospects in this class across GMS

971
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: league wide, I think while there might only while each

972
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 2: team may only have twenty three players twenty four players

973
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: with true first round grades.

974
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 5: They're gonna be all different players.

975
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 2: They're not going to be the same twenty three to

976
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: twenty four guys because the mixed opinion is so vast

977
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 2: this year. And so this team will have these twenty

978
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: three guys with first round grades, and there might be

979
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 2: ten of them that are the same as this other

980
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: team's first round grades, but there might be thirteen or

981
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 2: fourteen that are completely different. Well, that's going to provide

982
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: enough players with first round grades in the draft for

983
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 2: thirty two.

984
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 5: Teams to their liking.

985
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 2: So I think if teams are looking to get out

986
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: of the bottom of the first round, there's gonna be

987
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 2: plenty of teams willing to come up because I think

988
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 2: the grades are going to be varying that much. Well,

989
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 2: there'll be enough takers if you do want to get out.

990
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 2: So if the cupboards bear on your board, I think

991
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 2: you'll have people interested in making a deal with you. Everybody,

992
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: hang on, we got to take a break here because

993
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 2: we're at the top of the hour.

994
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 5: We also have pro football focuses. Mike Renner coming up.

995
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 2: Just released a three round mock draft who's he got

996
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 2: for the Bills.

997
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 5: We'll find out next.

998
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 2: Here on One Bill's Live presented by Colida Health, It's

999
00:51:12,960 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio. This this One Bill's Live presented good

1000
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 2: Bye Comelia Health.

1001
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 5: All right now on number two here on a Monday,

1002
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 5: Chris Brown, Mandy Glad with you. Please to be joined now.

1003
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 2: By the lead draft analysts for Post Football Focus one

1004
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 2: and only, Mike Renner, a friend of the show, been

1005
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 2: on before.

1006
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 5: Mike, Good to have you. We are in nitty gritty

1007
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 5: time here. We're less than two weeks away and the big, long,

1008
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 5: drawn out mocks are on tap. Now.

1009
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 2: You know people doing multiple round mocks, you are among them.

1010
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 2: I don't envy you in the least with that assignment,

1011
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 2: But why don't you walk us through your three round mock?

1012
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 2: Because you had three pretty interesting picks for the Bills

1013
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 2: that I don't know have been seen in many other places.

1014
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: So why don't you walk us through those and your

1015
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,959
Speaker 2: reasoning for each if you don't mind.

1016
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, So Buffalo's in.

1017
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 9: Obviously, when you're down that deep in the first round,

1018
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 9: you have to play the board right. You can't target

1019
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 9: a guy and think that's the missing piece to your

1020
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 9: championship team kind of just take what comes to you

1021
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 9: and Brandon Bean it's been good about I don't want

1022
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 9: to say like using the draft how the draft is

1023
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 9: supposed to be utilized. It is a forward thinking endeavor.

1024
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 9: It is not a whole plugging sort of proposition. You

1025
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 9: are just looking for talent anywhere you can find it,

1026
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 9: and they've reloaded positions that weren't necessarily need in recent years.

1027
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 9: So with that in mind, I went Brian Berzy, the

1028
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 9: Clemson defensive tackle as their first pick. They obviously valued

1029
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 9: defensive line, they've invested heavily in that position, but it's

1030
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 9: still a position where, especially at defensive tackle, someone next

1031
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 9: to Ed Oliver could go a long way towards taking

1032
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 9: that unit into the stratosphere of kind of what we

1033
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 9: saw with like Philadelphia last year, where you're just so

1034
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 9: dominant that no one until the grafts gets slippery the

1035
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 9: Super Bowl can really block you. So Brian Berzy super

1036
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 9: talented defensive tat coming out of clems the number one

1037
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 9: overall recruit, but towards ACL had a lot of off

1038
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 9: field unfortunate things happened to him this past fall to

1039
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 9: limit his game there on the board He's a much

1040
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,919
Speaker 9: more talented player than you'll usually find at pick twenty

1041
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 9: seven overall, almost reminiscent of like when Gregory Rousseau fell

1042
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 9: that far in the first round, but it was just

1043
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 9: because he opted out and you never got to really

1044
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 9: see that next step from him. I could see a

1045
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,479
Speaker 9: similar trajectory for Brian Burzi and his career. Second round,

1046
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 9: I went interior offensive line help Chandler Zavala. I think

1047
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 9: this offensive line, if you're looking at any problem area

1048
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 9: on this roster, what's going to stop them from winning

1049
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 9: a Super Bowl? That's the one NYE point too, is

1050
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 9: just that they're a little thin and they're a little

1051
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 9: lacking in terms of top end talent.

1052
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 8: Saval is a guy.

1053
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 9: Who was probably the best testing interior offensive line prospect

1054
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 9: in this draft outside of maybe like Peter Skeronski, whos

1055
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 9: obviously gonna go like top ten fifteen. So Chandler Zavala

1056
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 9: one year of starting was a D two transfer, but man,

1057
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 9: he looked really good in pass protection. That's obviously something

1058
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 9: that Buffalo could utilize and could use it, and he's

1059
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 9: got some versatility to him with his body type. And

1060
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 9: then at pick ninety one, I went Kai Shan Boudi,

1061
00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 9: the LSU wide receiver some dynamis. You know, he had

1062
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 9: an ankle issue hampering him this past fall. It obviously

1063
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 9: showed in his pro day. If that can you know,

1064
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 9: if you can get word from doctors that that will

1065
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 9: get cleaned up, there is rehab, will be find that

1066
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 9: you'll be the player we saw as a freshman and

1067
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 9: as a sophomore at LSU when a lot of people

1068
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,479
Speaker 9: had him as you know, a top five wide receiver

1069
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 9: in this class before this past fall. I think you

1070
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,919
Speaker 9: could be getting steal guys only twenty years old. And again,

1071
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 9: this Buffalo receiving corps, while it's talented, it is an

1072
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 9: arms race.

1073
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 8: In the AFC.

1074
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 9: There are so many talented offenses that you can't just say, oh,

1075
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 9: I'm good with Stefan Diggs, Gabe Davis.

1076
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 8: That's going to give me the promised land.

1077
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 9: No, I think you got to have more options than

1078
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 9: that if you really want to go through that gauntlet

1079
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 9: and win a Super Bowl.

1080
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 4: Nowadays, Mike, before you came on with us, Chris and

1081
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 4: I were discussing, you know where the bills are at

1082
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 4: at number twenty seven? Is it worth staying at twenty seven,

1083
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 4: is it better to trade into the top of the

1084
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 4: second round you get better.

1085
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 3: Value for what's available.

1086
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 4: Then, based on the mock drafts that you have done,

1087
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 4: and not just even bill centric, what positions are available

1088
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 4: at twenty seven and later kind of the end of

1089
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 4: the first round of the draft, what positions are available

1090
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 4: and worth taking based.

1091
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 3: On the names that you've seen kind of falling to

1092
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 3: the end of first round.

1093
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 9: So the positions that I've seen that I like in

1094
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 9: that regard that I think to have the talent to

1095
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 9: push down and get guys with who are talented there. Unfortunately,

1096
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 9: our tight ending cornerback and now they just use the

1097
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 9: first round on the cornerback last year, and obviously with

1098
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 9: Dawson Knox, I don't think they're going to be involved

1099
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 9: in this tight end class whatsoever. But that's, you know,

1100
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 9: in a vacuum, there's always a guy that falls one

1101
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 9: way or another that probably should not have to that

1102
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 9: point in the draft. I could see that happening along

1103
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 9: the defensive line, like I have there with Brian Berzia.

1104
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 9: I think defensive tackle becomes intriguing if some of those

1105
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 9: guys start to fall down boards. But I am of

1106
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 9: the opinion that there just aren't twenty seven first round

1107
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 9: ers in this class. This is not a super deep

1108
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 9: loaded first round. But I do think towards the back,

1109
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 9: towards the middle to back end of Day two, there's

1110
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 9: a lot of guys I like in that range. And

1111
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 9: so with where they're at as the brand, with how

1112
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 9: kind of cash draft they're getting, with this somewhat expensive roster,

1113
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 9: with Josh Allen's cap hits climbing, it would make a

1114
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 9: lot of sense to give yourself a bunch of options

1115
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 9: because you're just not going to be able to plug

1116
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 9: in free agency kind of the way they did to

1117
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 9: build this roster.

1118
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 8: The you know how many moves they've made, you.

1119
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 9: Know, from like twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one, they

1120
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 9: were building, building, building through free agency. That's just not

1121
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 9: an option anymore. So I think the more young talent

1122
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 9: you can get to replenish positions where you have aging veterans,

1123
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 9: you know, whether that is at safety, whether that is

1124
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 9: now at linebacker, I think the better off they'll be.

1125
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 2: Mike we hear that there is maybe more mixed opinion

1126
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 2: across the league on prospects this year than in several years,

1127
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 2: Like where players could have grades from one team as

1128
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 2: you know, a mid first, and from another team as

1129
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 2: a mid second of like a thirty pick range for

1130
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 2: a player who could go like fifteen or forty five

1131
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 2: depending on who's on the plock. With that kind of variance,

1132
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 2: does that almost by default make the meat and potatoes

1133
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 2: of this draft. Day two, like round two and three,

1134
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: is where you're probably gonna get your best value in

1135
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: the whole.

1136
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 9: Thing, because I think it's that difference that you just

1137
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 9: explained sickly. There is like I may be picking a

1138
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 9: guy at fifteen that other that you know I could

1139
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 9: get at forty five. I think this is a very

1140
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 9: ripe draft class for those kind of decisions. When you

1141
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,479
Speaker 9: get to picks twenty and beyond, I think the first

1142
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 9: twenty picks are pretty chalky. You're gonna have a lot

1143
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 9: of similar grades in that regard. But once you get

1144
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 9: past that, and especially on the PFF.

1145
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 8: Draft board, where how I see this class, you know, between.

1146
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 9: Like twenty five and fifty, I'm I'm flipping coins a

1147
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 9: lot of the times. There's not a big difference between

1148
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 9: that tier of this class. And so that's why I

1149
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 9: say where Buffalo is situated. Moving back may make the

1150
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 9: most sense for them because and also looking where their

1151
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 9: needs are. You know, I talked about linebacker and safety.

1152
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 9: Those just aren't positions they traditionally draft in the first round.

1153
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 9: That you know, if I were to get someone like

1154
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 9: Jack Campbell out of Iowa, I would love him in

1155
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 9: Buffalo to replace Treman Edmunds. But it's picked twenty seven

1156
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 9: too high, probably, but it's picked forty two high, I

1157
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 9: don't think so. I think that's right the range. I

1158
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 9: would love to get a guy like that, So I

1159
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 9: moved back thirteen picks. I get Jack Campbell, then I

1160
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 9: also get someone else. So I think that might be

1161
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 9: the Bill's best avenue towards building and rebuilding some of

1162
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 9: the positions they lost this offseason.

1163
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 4: We could see a lot of quarterbacks go off the

1164
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 4: board in the first half of that first round. Who knows,

1165
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 4: maybe even Hendon Hooker is going to go off the

1166
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 4: board before the Bills are available at number twenty seven.

1167
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 4: Not saying that the Bills are going to pick a quarterback,

1168
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 4: but saying this could affect who falls to the Bills

1169
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 4: or who's available at number twenty seven. So what are

1170
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 4: some things that could happen in the front half of

1171
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 4: the first round of the NFL Draft that could allow

1172
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 4: maybe some names like you said of Brian Berzee or

1173
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 4: something like that fall to the bill at number twenty seven.

1174
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 4: What are some things that might affect where some of

1175
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 4: the teams are that twenty five to thirty two range

1176
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 4: that they might be sitting there saying we're not moving

1177
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 4: anywhere because we're going to get this player that we

1178
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 4: thought was going to go off with the board at

1179
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 4: twenty but is somehow still available.

1180
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 9: Yeah. I think there's two positions I see could be

1181
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 9: runs on talent that may push guys up boards in

1182
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 9: front of the bills. And if I'm like Brandon Bean,

1183
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 9: I'm telling every GM I come across, I'm like, hey.

1184
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 8: Hennon Hookers, the next patch Mahomes.

1185
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 9: You know, you're you're pumping this guy's tires hoping he

1186
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 9: gets drafted before you, because you're never going to think,

1187
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 9: you know, with Josh Allens, as long as he's your quarterback,

1188
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 9: you're not picking anyone else at that position. So you're

1189
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 9: hoping five guys go off the board, and you're hoping

1190
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 9: a bunch of.

1191
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 8: Tackles come off the board.

1192
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 9: In my opinion, for the Buffalo Bills right now. I

1193
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 9: don't think they'll be looking at offensive tackle in this

1194
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 9: draft class. Obviously, with Spencer Brown being a project and

1195
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 9: hoping he, you know, into year three at the time,

1196
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 9: you're hoping that he comes into his own and has

1197
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 9: that breakout season. But this is a thin tackle class.

1198
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 9: Everyone still kneds off at the tackles. It's still the

1199
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 9: position that's probably the most desperation of any position outside

1200
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 9: of maybe quarterback around the NFL. So when it's thin,

1201
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 9: that means that you're not going to find a guy

1202
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 9: at the back end of the round in the second

1203
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 9: round who could step in.

1204
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 8: And start for you, even come close to.

1205
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 9: So I think that means a lot of decisions for

1206
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 9: teams in the first round where it's like, hey, do

1207
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 9: we reach a little because we have this desperate need

1208
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 9: at tackle even if we don't have a first round

1209
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 9: grade on this guy.

1210
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 8: And I think some teams will be.

1211
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 9: So you're hoping something like seven six seven tackles come

1212
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 9: off the board before you're on the clock, and then

1213
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,439
Speaker 9: you'll get some talent fall too, in my opinion.

1214
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: Mike, I know you also did some write ups on

1215
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 2: Day two and Day three targets for teams, and this

1216
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 2: guy has got the shortest wingspan at his position and

1217
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: he doesn't run a blazing forty, But a lot of

1218
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 2: people think he's just a flat out football player. Jamie Robinson,

1219
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: the safety from Florida State. Why do you like him

1220
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 2: as a fit for Buffalo. Yeah.

1221
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 9: I mean you look at Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyden.

1222
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 9: They weren't high an athlete, So those guys were not

1223
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 9: you know, all world testing guys coming out at the

1224
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 9: Combine or at their pro days.

1225
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 8: They're just good football players. They're good tacklers.

1226
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 9: They see the game well, and I think that's what

1227
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 9: they've coveted there on the defensive side of the ball,

1228
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 9: especially at the safety position, as guys who have all

1229
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 9: around game.

1230
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 8: And that's that's Robinson.

1231
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 9: I mean, he's played four years as a starter between

1232
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 9: South Carolina and Florida State. He's played slot, he's played deep,

1233
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 9: he's played too high, he's played single high, and he's

1234
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 9: been one of the best tacklers in this draft class

1235
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 9: over that span, regardless of where he's lined up. So

1236
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 9: I'm a big fan of his. And again, he's a

1237
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 9: guy who the flip on the tape and it says

1238
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 9: this is a darn good football player, an immeasurable he

1239
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 9: wants not going to maybe back up that opinion, but

1240
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 9: a safety is a position that's so instinctual driven, so

1241
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 9: mentality and how you play the game driven that I

1242
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 9: don't really care.

1243
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 8: This guy can play and I want him on the

1244
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 8: Buffalo Bills.

1245
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 9: I think that would be a great guy at target

1246
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 9: back in the Day two early Day three, if he's

1247
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 9: still there on the board.

1248
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 4: You also just release Day three targets for each NFL

1249
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 4: team and Bjon Robinson has been a favorite name that's

1250
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 4: been mocked to the Bills twenty two times. I've counted

1251
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 4: out of the like one hundred and forty mock drafts

1252
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 4: that I've tracked for the Buffalo Bills, we released it

1253
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 4: on our website, and I don't.

1254
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 3: Think he's gonna be available at twenty seven. I don't

1255
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 3: think that's a need for the Bills of twenty seven.

1256
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 4: He's an incredible player, but Chris and I have had

1257
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 4: fun debating whether or not he's going to be available

1258
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 4: and whether or not the Bill should take him. But

1259
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 4: you have a Day three pick fit for the Bills,

1260
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 4: a running back Dwayne McBride out of UAB, why do

1261
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 4: you like him as a fit for this team and

1262
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 4: maybe somebody who could add to that running backs room,

1263
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 4: because I personally like a Day three running back better

1264
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 4: than spending a first round pick on somebody who probably

1265
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 4: won't be available.

1266
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 9: I'm right there with you on using That's where I

1267
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 9: want to target running back in his class on the Bills,

1268
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 9: because because I like James cop as a receiving back,

1269
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 9: as the pass down back, in the space back, in

1270
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 9: your running back by committee kind of backfield, He's great,

1271
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 9: he's excellent. You're not gonna find too many better than

1272
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 9: him in this draft class or you know, around the NFL.

1273
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 9: So that means I need a two down guy. I

1274
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 9: need the guy, though, who's going to be the short

1275
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 9: yardage carry the rock, run between the tackles when I

1276
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 9: need to pick up those tough yards. And to me,

1277
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 9: that's Dwayne McBride. He has some of the best vision

1278
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 9: in this draft class. You look at his highlights there,

1279
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 9: he's so light on his feet for a two hundred

1280
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 9: and twenty pounder. I mean, he just absolutely tore up

1281
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 9: the sun. He was crushing dudes at if just unbelievable

1282
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 9: watching him run knife through some of these defenses, and

1283
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 9: he didn't need a big crease. You know, he has

1284
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 9: a running style it's very projectable to the NFL, even

1285
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 9: if he doesn't have great hands or great speed. So

1286
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 9: it's kind of your perfect compliment and your perfect sort

1287
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 9: of replenishing there for losing Devin Singletary. He's a he's

1288
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 9: kind of a souped up like a bigger version of

1289
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 9: Devin Singletary in that backfield.

1290
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 2: So knowing the possibility at least exists for Buffalo to

1291
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 2: move out of Round one if they don't like what

1292
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: they see on the board, I know you put together,

1293
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 2: you know, some of your favorite Day two prospects, So

1294
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 2: who might be on that list for us to kind

1295
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 2: of mull over if the Bills decide to pull that

1296
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 2: trigger and not participate on Night one.

1297
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 9: The guy I keep going back to for them is

1298
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 9: Jack Campbell, the Iowa linebacker. I think he is exactly

1299
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 9: what you want next to Matt Milano, Like they are

1300
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 9: kind of perfect compliments at the linebacker position, where Campbell's

1301
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 9: your great He's got great eyes and zone, he's got

1302
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 9: great feel for, you know, playing out in space for

1303
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 9: a bigger linebacker. Two hundred and fifty ish pounds, whereas

1304
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 9: you know Treel Bernard is who they drafted last year

1305
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 9: in the third round, like he's got a similar game

1306
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 9: to Matt Milanald. They're almost redundant in their skill sets

1307
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 9: and they're the undersized kind of great run and chase

1308
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 9: kind of linebackers. But not your take on guys. Campbell

1309
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 9: takes on blocks better than any other linebacker in this

1310
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 9: draft class. He plays between tackles better than any other

1311
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 9: linebacker in this draft class, and he's the underrated good

1312
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 9: athlete in his own right.

1313
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 8: He can track down running backs quarterbacks in space as

1314
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 8: you saw just there.

1315
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 9: So he's one of the guys that I would just

1316
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 9: love to see in that defense because he's NFL ready,

1317
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 9: Like you can make an impact tomorrow, which is rare,

1318
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 9: and especially in a i'd call an overall weak linebacker

1319
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 9: class that we're seeing this year.

1320
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 4: For the Bills, they don't have too many draft picks

1321
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 4: in this draft class, and who knows, maybe they could

1322
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 4: trade into the second round pick up a few more guys,

1323
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 4: a few more draft picks because you have a team

1324
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 4: that doesn't have a lot of room to make moves

1325
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 4: in the salary. Cappany or via free agency, and Brandon

1326
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 4: Bean has said, you know, Von Miller is our big

1327
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 4: splash this year as well. We're doing the low budget

1328
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 4: free agents thing, and that's kind of what we've seen

1329
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 4: play out.

1330
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 3: Here for Buffalo.

1331
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 4: So what do you think this team, with where they're at,

1332
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 4: with what they still want to accomplish. This is a

1333
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 4: team who's made it deep into the playoffs every single year.

1334
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 4: They haven't made a run for the super Bowl yet,

1335
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 4: but they have a roster who, if they're healthy, could

1336
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 4: be ready for a run like that. What do you

1337
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 4: think their goal should be in this year's draft overall

1338
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 4: rounds one through seven. What do you think this team

1339
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 4: can accomplish or should accomplish through this draft?

1340
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 9: To me, this is the year they take sort of

1341
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 9: a page out of the Kansas City Chiefs playbook and

1342
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 9: what they saw Brett Beach do there when they had

1343
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 9: to transition from Patrick Mahons being cheap to Patrick Mahons

1344
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 9: all of a sudden being expensive. And what they did

1345
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 9: after that turned out to be the case was they

1346
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 9: just loaded up on draft capital. They started trading down,

1347
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 9: they started getting whatever they could in return, and just

1348
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 9: started filling out this roster with cheaper talent and just

1349
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 9: fool proofing it to make sure that you don't have

1350
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 9: any glaring holes, whether it's long you're offensive line, whether

1351
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 9: it's in your secondary like, you just need to have

1352
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 9: guys everywhere. You can't just target the one guy like

1353
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 9: maybe they have in free agency and did last year

1354
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 9: with von Miller, thinking that's going to put you over

1355
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 9: the hub all of a sudden. It needs to spread

1356
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 9: this cap out and spread this money out as much

1357
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 9: as possible.

1358
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 8: And to me, that just comes with more picks.

1359
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,439
Speaker 2: Mike, I know in your mock you kind of laid

1360
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 2: this out, but the quarterbacks are obviously going to push

1361
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 2: down talent that the Bills would be looking for. Not

1362
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 2: being in the market for a quarterback edge rusher will

1363
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 2: probably do that to a certain extent as well. So

1364
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: does that for you indicate that maybe the draft class

1365
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 2: will be flush with talent at position X or Y,

1366
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 2: maybe more than others, you know, with quarterback edge. I mean,

1367
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 2: I based on your mock, you've got the receiver run

1368
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 2: happy happening a lot earlier than I think Bills fans

1369
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 2: would prefer. So I don't think that's going to be

1370
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 2: available to them as much as they might want it,

1371
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 2: but where do you see the positions being most valuable

1372
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 2: with what gets pushed down to the bottom there.

1373
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I hate to say this because obviously I don't

1374
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 9: think there are positions that the Bills are going to

1375
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 9: necessarily want, But it's running back in tight end. They're

1376
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 9: probably the two best classes just independently of this draft

1377
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 9: that you're just not going to find running back and

1378
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 9: tight end classes like this every year or every few years.

1379
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 8: That they are special classes.

1380
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 9: And so when they're that deep and when they're like

1381
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 9: not valuable positions to begin with, then you have a

1382
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 9: lot of conversations in the first round with its like

1383
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 9: should I draft Bijon or can I get you Mere

1384
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,799
Speaker 9: Gibs in the second round? Should I draft Dulk Kincaid

1385
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 9: or can I get Sam Laporta in the second round

1386
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 9: at tight end? So you're going to have a lot

1387
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 9: of teams debating that, probably siding with going then for

1388
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 9: an offensive tackle, going for an edge, going for a quarterback,

1389
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 9: or whatever it may be the quote unquote valuable positions.

1390
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 9: So those are the two ones where I was sitting

1391
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 9: on the board back then on the first back then

1392
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 9: in the second there might be a lot more talent

1393
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 9: there than there usually is. But unfortunately, I'm not sure

1394
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 9: the Bills are like I'm not sure that's the missing

1395
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 9: piece for them offensively as a running back or at

1396
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 9: tight end.

1397
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 4: Mike, one more question for me, what is one surprising

1398
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 4: thing that you think could happen on Night one of

1399
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 4: the NFL Draft as we closer to that Thursday night.

1400
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 9: I mean, you were talking about Jon going to the

1401
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 9: being available for the Bills or are being available in

1402
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 9: that range.

1403
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 8: I don't think it's happening.

1404
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 9: I think he goes either number eight overall to the

1405
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 9: Atlanta Falcons or something like fourteenth overall to the wing

1406
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,799
Speaker 9: of Patriots. I think he goes high in this upcoming

1407
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 9: draft because teams still value special even if it's at

1408
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 9: a position that maybe isn't paid as much as others

1409
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 9: that you know has gotten devalued in its usage and

1410
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 9: offenses around the NFL. But teams value a guy who

1411
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 9: is so head and shoulders above their competition that they

1412
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 9: can look back in four years when the owner says,

1413
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 9: you know, here's your draft track record, and they can

1414
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 9: point to that and say that's a w that was

1415
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 9: an easy win and Vjon is he's that good at

1416
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 9: running back that I think someone drafts him really highland

1417
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 9: And will that mean that other.

1418
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 8: Running backs start to come off the board in the

1419
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 8: first round.

1420
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 9: It's possible, but I do think Robinson's kind of a

1421
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 9: unique case and he'll go highly because of it.

1422
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 2: Last one for me, Mike and I don't want to

1423
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 2: be added to this group. But I'm sure you get

1424
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 2: a lot of blowback on social media about whatever you

1425
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 2: pick in mock drafts. It's just the way of the

1426
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 2: world in social media. Unfortunately. I'm just curious about you

1427
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 2: seeing Zay Flowers lasting until pick thirty to the Eagles.

1428
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 2: There's a lot there's a lot of people that think

1429
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 2: he could be the best receiver in the class. There's

1430
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 2: some mixed opinion on that as well, which is run

1431
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 2: rampant with the class this year. How do you think

1432
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 2: he gets that far?

1433
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 9: It's the size to me is why I have him

1434
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 9: falling that far. You know, he has a wingspan of

1435
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 9: like seventy two inches, just over seventy two inches, just

1436
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 9: over six foot, and that is about as small as

1437
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 9: you'll see in the NFL. I think there's been one

1438
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 9: thousand yard wide receiver with the wingspan under seventy three

1439
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 9: inches because Tyrie Hill actually has a pretty long wingspan.

1440
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 8: Jo and Wide'll have pretty long.

1441
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 9: Wingspans for being shorter wide receivers, and Tyler Lockett, you

1442
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 9: just when you don't have that catch radius, it just

1443
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 9: kind of limits you. So that's why I see him

1444
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 9: possibly falling. But this wide receiver class is really a

1445
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,679
Speaker 9: eye of the beholder receiver class. There are four guys

1446
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 9: at the top in Jay Flowers, in Jordan Addison, Quentin

1447
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 9: Johnson and Jackson Smith and Jigba that are just all

1448
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 9: so vastly different in their skill sets that none of

1449
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 9: them are redundant to each other whatsoever. That if you're

1450
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 9: looking for one thing, there probably is a guy that

1451
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 9: gives it to you, but it means you're gonna have

1452
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 9: him than wide receiver one. So that's why I think

1453
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 9: it's wider receip class is very difficult to predict at

1454
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 9: this point because of how up in the air the

1455
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 9: rankings are.

1456
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 5: Well, one thing's for sure.

1457
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 2: It's gonna make the draft even that much more interesting. Mike,

1458
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 2: thanks as always for taking the time.

1459
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 5: We appreciate it.

1460
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 2: We'll keep an eye on more of the stuff that

1461
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure you got to have to churn out between

1462
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 2: now and draft night.

1463
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 5: Good luck with it.

1464
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 8: For sure, Thanks so much for having me going.

1465
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 2: That's Mike rennerd PFF lead draft analyst joining us here. Yeah,

1466
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's about as low as I've seen

1467
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 2: Zay Flowers in a mock draft in a while.

1468
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:54,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, thirty.

1469
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 4: I was just reading an article mil khyper article where

1470
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 4: he picked out his favorite prospects at each position in

1471
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 4: the NFL Draft, and it wasn't supposed to be first

1472
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 4: round guys. It was kind of all across the board,

1473
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 4: guys going on Day three, guys going on Day one,

1474
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 4: and his favorite wide receiver was day Flowers.

1475
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 5: It's fun to watch. I don't think there's any debate

1476
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 5: about that.

1477
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 2: Mike brings up a good point about, you know, his

1478
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 2: wingspan and you don't want to bank at all on measurables.

1479
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 5: But they do do those kinds of comps.

1480
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 2: Gms and personnel executives do comps like that, and they say, Okay,

1481
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 2: this guy's dynamic in the college ranks, he's really exciting player.

1482
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 2: How does that translate to the league, And sometimes it

1483
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: does and sometimes it doesn't.

1484
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 4: And he didn't play for an SEC school where he

1485
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 4: was playing against. I know he played for Boston College,

1486
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 4: and you know, you still face you still face some

1487
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 4: good competition in the ACC, but sometimes you can feel

1488
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 4: like you can compare. I'm just thinking of the George

1489
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,600
Speaker 4: defense as the Alabama defenses that have the size, that

1490
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 4: have the guys that are those first round draft picks

1491
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 4: that that it feels like you're playing against an NFL

1492
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 4: defense and somebody of that size and statue, you wonder

1493
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 4: how they're gonna do. And last he was pretty healthy

1494
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 4: and never really got injured throughout the entirety of his career,

1495
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 4: so he has lasted so far. Does that translate into

1496
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 4: the NFL? He is fun to watch, Like you said,

1497
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 4: I love watching his tape.

1498
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, really good player.

1499
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 2: And then the other thing with him is, you know,

1500
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 2: you look at the skill set and you say, well,

1501
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 2: how is that and is it terribly different from Jordan

1502
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 2: Andison who's just as under You know, it doesn't have

1503
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 2: a lot of size either. Their skill sets are different.

1504
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 2: I'll agree with Mike on that. But what makes Jordan

1505
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 2: Addison a lock in the early twenties and Zay Flower

1506
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 2: down at thirty. That's where the mixed opinion is going.

1507
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 2: To come in in this year's draft. And I'm telling

1508
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 2: you right now, if you're at the bottom of round

1509
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 2: one and you don't need a receiver and Zay Flowers

1510
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 2: is sticking there, you're gonna have an interested trade suitor

1511
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 2: calling you on the phone saying, Hey, can I get

1512
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 2: into the bottom around one? My guy's still on the

1513
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 2: board that I didn't expect there, and they'll be like,

1514
01:14:58,160 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 2: all right, what are you gonna offer?

1515
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:00,799
Speaker 5: So there it will be takers.

1516
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 2: If you're looking to get out of the bottom around

1517
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 2: one and somebody like Zay Flowers is on the board,

1518
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 2: it will happen.

1519
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 5: We have to take a break here, but it's your

1520

Speaker 5: Two, five fifty.

1533
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 2: How have the Bill's signings in free agency changed your

1534
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 2: approach to the Bill's draft? Maybe your mind has been

1535
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 2: changed on what they need to go after after seeing

1536
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 2: all the additions, including veteran linebacker j Klein re signing.

1537
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 2: Today to the phones, we go into Tom on the

1538
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 2: west side to lead us off.

1539
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 5: What do you got for us? Tom?

1540
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 6: Hey, kids, hope everybody's having a good day in spite

1541
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,760
Speaker 6: of Littlewaller. Yeah, and Maddie, I need to ask you,

1542
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:05,879
Speaker 6: is Buffalo less windier than Chicago? Because they called Chicago

1543
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 6: the windy City?

1544
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 4: Ruffalo is way windier than Chicago in my opinion.

1545
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 6: Okay, well we're the Queen city anyway. But anyway, as

1546
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 6: far as the draft, I like everybody that's been projected

1547
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 6: to us pretty much, except for Robinson and maybe Osiris

1548
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 6: because they're one position players. So you know how the

1549
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 6: Bills like to have versatile players. I'm like, I'm liking

1550
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 6: Brian Branch because I've seen them listed as both a

1551
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 6: cornerback and a safety and we're weak at both spots.

1552
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 6: And who knows what hiding Poyer or on the last

1553
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 6: year of their contract, and who knows what's going to

1554
01:16:54,400 --> 01:17:00,759
Speaker 6: happen with Hamlin, you know, so I could see they rampant.

1555
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 8: I like that.

1556
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I get where you're coming from. Tom. It

1557
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 5: makes sense.

1558
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Branch does offer position versatility, and you know,

1559
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 2: we shouldn't forget this. And Mike Renner kind of touched

1560
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 2: on this a little bit too when we were talking

1561
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 2: about Jamie Robinson, the safety from Florida State who's been

1562
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,639
Speaker 2: a versatile defensive back for South Carolina and then Florida

1563
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 2: State after he answered the transfer portal. Micah Hyde was

1564
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 2: drafted as a fifth round corner and then his rookie

1565
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 2: year with the Packers he played nickel corner and then

1566
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 2: transitioned to safety after that. And you've got a guy

1567
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 2: and Brian Branch who's kind of got the same resume,

1568
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 2: so to speak, you know, the Alabama kids. So I

1569
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 2: don't think they would shy away from that necessarily. The

1570
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 2: only question is what is the value on him. And again, Maddie,

1571
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 2: we're getting back to mixed opinion. He does not have

1572
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 2: a lot of the measurables, didn't have a good time

1573
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 2: testing day at the combine, and so how does that

1574
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 2: impact what the final grade is, Maybe not much at all,

1575
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:09,600
Speaker 2: maybe a lot, but it is going to lead to

1576
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 2: mixed opinion, and I think that's why it's been so

1577
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 2: hard for even mock drafters to pin down what is

1578
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 2: Brian Branch's true value.

1579
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 4: He's six feet He's one hundred and ninety pounds. He

1580
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 4: ran a four five eight forty the athleticism score that

1581
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 4: Next Gen Stats did on all position groups and ranked

1582
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 4: them with the position groups all the guys that were

1583
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 4: at the NFL Combine he got. He ranked thirty second

1584
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 4: on the twenty twenty three Combine cornerback ranks, but ranked

1585
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 4: fifth overall in a total score of cornerbacks that were

1586
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 4: at this year's combine. He ranked first in a production score,

1587
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,560
Speaker 4: So again the kind of all over the place with

1588
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 4: opinions with how he tested with his tape. I totally understand, though,

1589
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 4: wanting to look ahead to the future, and I think

1590
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 4: it's a smart thing for the Bills to do. I

1591
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 4: don't know if twenty seven spending a first round pick

1592
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:11,680
Speaker 4: on somebody like him makes a lot of sense. I

1593
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 4: can see where people might want to go somebody like him,

1594
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 4: a cornerback or something like that. At twenty seven, because

1595
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 4: you do need to start thinking about the future of

1596
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 4: this team. And yes we do have Taylor rap on

1597
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 4: the roster, not sure about Damar Hamlin yet, So maybe

1598
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 4: start to invest in the future there get somebody who

1599
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 4: does offer that position flexibility. Maybe he doesn't need to

1600
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 4: just play safety. Maybe he can help you out in

1601
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,759
Speaker 4: the slot. There gives you a little bit more freedom

1602
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 4: to do different things on defense in a position group

1603
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 4: that's needed depth at times, and especially last season when

1604
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 4: the injuries came and when the depth really got tested

1605
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 4: on this roster.

1606
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 3: He was He's been mocked to the Bills ten times.

1607
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 4: His name was very very popular in January and February

1608
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 4: before the Bills signed Jordan Poyer back to the roster,

1609
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 4: before Taylor Rapp was a part of this roster. So

1610
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 4: I can understand the thinking there of wanting to invest

1611
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 4: in the future with a guy like him.

1612
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 2: And while he doesn't have the size and speed measurables,

1613
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:16,600
Speaker 2: he is above average in almost every other category that

1614
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 2: NFL teams look at. And I think what carries the

1615
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 2: most weight with talent evaluators is this is a guy

1616
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 2: who played that star position in Nick Saban's defense.

1617
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 5: That's the same position that Minka Fitzpatrick play.

1618
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 2: It's a lot of responsibility that's on your plate there

1619
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 2: for running things on the back end, and by all accounts,

1620
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 2: he handled it remarkably well.

1621
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 5: Otherwise he wouldn't have been a three year starter.

1622
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 3: He's a really smart player, so.

1623
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 2: Really smart too, and what's between the ears sometimes counts

1624
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 2: a lot, particularly at that position. So I think that's

1625
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 2: what's going to help boost his stock in the draft.

1626
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 2: But as Mattie said, the question is do you use

1627
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 2: a first round pick on a combo dB?

1628
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 5: Maybe you do? And what is a week what is

1629
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 5: considered to be a week safety class? Overall?

1630
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 2: Good call, Tom, though some some good points brought to

1631
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,719
Speaker 2: the table there. Let's move along and go to Rob

1632
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 2: in Connecticut next.

1633
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 5: What do you got for us? Rob?

1634
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 10: Hey, Chris, Hey, Maddie, how is everything today?

1635
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 5: Good?

1636
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 10: All right?

1637
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 6: Well?

1638
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,879
Speaker 10: I am an avid listener from six o'clock until whenever

1639
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 10: with you guys and Maddie. I just want to say

1640
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 10: to you, I miss the Maddie Awards and I'm looking

1641
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 10: forward to him this season. Yeah yeah, I always like

1642
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 10: like what you do with that, But you know, listen,

1643
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 10: all I want to say is that the acquisitions that

1644
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 10: the Bills made during the off season with the free agency.

1645
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 10: I'm completely happy with what we have done so far.

1646
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 10: When we did let Tremaine Edmonds go, I was kind

1647
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 10: of disappointed with that situation. So the first thing I

1648
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 10: was thinking was we need to fill that spot. This

1649
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 10: is my only opinion. So of course I'm hearing about

1650
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 10: Jack Campbell and Danders and I'm like drooling because I'm

1651
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 10: so hoping that we, you know, it holds off. I

1652
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 10: know we're at twenty seven, but I think that would

1653
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 10: be a great first round pick for us, either one

1654
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 10: of those guys, and then in the second round Ane

1655
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 10: a nice wide receiver for me. I'm, you know, the

1656
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,560
Speaker 10: whole bijeon thing. I don't think it's gonna happen, but

1657
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 10: I am getting tired of hearing about it. I'm happy

1658
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 10: with Harris. That was another one that was a big surprise.

1659
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 10: I'm just really looking forward to seeing what Brendan Bean has.

1660
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 10: If he's gonna pull a rabbit out of his hat,

1661
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 10: that's my anticipation. I think he's gonna surprise us all

1662
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 10: with something that we're not going to expect. And as

1663
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 10: far as the Tyler Rapp, I'm glad he's coming because

1664
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 10: he played alongside alongside ball Miller, which also helps, you know,

1665
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 10: teammates help one another out, so they'll know. And I

1666
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 10: think it's gonna be very interesting this draft. But I'm

1667
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 10: I'm more interested in the linebacker spot. I'm glad the

1668
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 10: AJ Klein did come back, but I want Campbell or Sanders. Definitely.

1669
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 10: Thank guys for taking my quality. I appreciate you.

1670
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 5: Thanks.

1671
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 2: Rob, appreciate that you know you look at the free

1672
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 2: agent acquisitions, Maddie. Just to Rob's point, he said he's

1673
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: very happy with what Brandon Bean has done on a

1674
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 2: tight budget. No less, I think two of the more

1675
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 2: underrated ads here throughout the offseason are Taylor Rapp and

1676
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:42,600
Speaker 2: Damian Harris. Like Damien Harris was a productive back in

1677
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 2: New England who lost time on the field because Bill

1678
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 2: Belichick wanted a power back and Ramandre Stevenson like a

1679
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty five pound you know, battering ram

1680
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, Ramandre Stevenson is a nice player,

1681
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 2: but I actually like Damien Harris's you'll set even better

1682
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,560
Speaker 2: than that, and I think he's going to be a

1683
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 2: lot more than maybe some might anticipate. In terms of

1684
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 2: role here, because as I see it, it's one A

1685
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 2: and one B with Harris and James Cook. However it

1686
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 2: shakes out, we'll find out in training camp in the preseason.

1687
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 2: But just hearing Sean McDermott at the owner's meetings talking

1688
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 2: about Damian Harris, like, I don't want to say that

1689
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,600
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott was excited because he's pretty even keeled no

1690
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 2: matter what. Yeah, but in terms of remarks by a

1691
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 2: coach for a player, especially a new one, that's as

1692
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 2: close to glowing as you're gonna get from coach McDermott

1693
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 2: on a new acquisition, I thought it was very telling.

1694
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 4: I mean, he had fifteen rushing touchdowns in twenty twenty one.

1695
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 3: That's a recent production. That's not five years ago.

1696
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 4: You have fifteen rushing touchdowns that's two seasons ago. And

1697
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 4: I'm really excited to see how they utilize him in

1698
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:03,760
Speaker 4: this offense. And overall just the free agency moves. I

1699
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 4: know Brandon Bean probably under sells what he's going to

1700
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 4: do because he doesn't want everybody to be high on

1701
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 4: what could be but ends up not happening. The low

1702
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 4: budget free agents, yes, he did that, but I was very,

1703
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 4: very impressed with the talent that walked through this door

1704
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 4: in free agency, from offensive linemen to wide receivers to

1705
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:29,639
Speaker 4: some additions to the defense. I left free agency saying,

1706
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 4: this team is better off now than they were last season,

1707
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:37,600
Speaker 4: and I'm excited about some of the newness, some of

1708
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 4: the tweaks that might happen to this offense in terms

1709
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 4: of what Ken Dorsey is able to do or doesn't

1710
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 4: even have to do. Because you up the talent, you

1711
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 4: up the ante with guys like Deontay Hardy and Trent Sherfield.

1712
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 4: I'm really excited to see how they fold players like that,

1713
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 4: and you add to the depth of the offensive line room.

1714
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 4: I walk away from free agency being very impressed with

1715
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 4: what happened and think that this team is in a

1716
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 4: good position heading into the draft, which is what you

1717
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 4: want to be and you want to be in a

1718
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 4: position to where you can do whatever you want, and

1719
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 4: I think that team is getting closer to that.

1720
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, break time for us here. We'll have time for

1721
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,720
Speaker 2: another call or two when we come back when our

1722
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 2: final segment. Larry and Amhurst will lead us off when

1723
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,719
Speaker 2: we return here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colid

1724
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 2: of health.

1725
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 5: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1726
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,560
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Maddi glab, let's get right back to the

1727
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 2: phones and to Larry in Amhurst.

1728
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 5: What do you have for us?

1729
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 11: Larry, I was just curious, do you think the Bills

1730
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 11: gave up on Bail inspector or? I thought he had

1731
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 11: a decent preseason and with another year's coaching he might

1732
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 11: develop better. And are we just waiting for Brian's able

1733
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 11: to steal another No?

1734
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, he's only entering year two

1735
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 2: in his rookie contract, so he's got three years left

1736
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 2: with the Bills. But your points well taken, Larry, and

1737
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott mentioned him by name, saying

1738
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:17,520
Speaker 2: he's firmly in the competition mix with Tyrrel Dotson.

1739
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 5: And Terrell Bernard.

1740
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 2: And I thought he was an underrated performer in the

1741
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 2: Clemson defense. When the Bills made him a seventh round pick.

1742
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 2: You know, we'll have to see how it all shakes

1743
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 2: out in training camp. That's really just how it goes.

1744
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had some fun tape in college, and so

1745
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 4: I was looking forward to seeing what he could do

1746
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 4: in the NFL.

1747
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's.

1748
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 4: Really via a role through special teams first and then

1749
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 4: working your way into the defense, if that's what they

1750
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 4: see for him. But he's somebody that I do want

1751
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,680
Speaker 4: to keep my eye on as we head into OTAs

1752
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 4: and training camp, for sure.

1753
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 2: And you know, I look at it, and you know,

1754
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 2: through the course of the offseason, you know, we walk

1755
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 2: around this building a lot just with our daily goings on,

1756
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 2: and I can say Inspector was a guy that's been

1757
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 2: here an awful lot through the course of the winner.

1758
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 2: So the guy's been putting the work in. So it's

1759
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,600
Speaker 2: going to be very interesting to see what kind of

1760
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,560
Speaker 2: leap he makes from year one to year two. And

1761
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,560
Speaker 2: then secondarily, as I mentioned, you know, he's only in

1762
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 2: his second year with the Bills. I think what's going

1763
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 2: to keep him on the roster even if he doesn't

1764
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 2: get a starting job on defense, are his budding abilities

1765
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 2: on special teams. I think he's definitely has a skill

1766
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 2: set to be a major contributor on special teams while

1767
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 2: maybe he waits in the wings if he can't land

1768
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 2: a starting job in year two.

1769
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 4: That's why I completely agree, and it's more than Baile

1770
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 4: inspector too. There's some guys who were part of the

1771
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 4: special teams last year who will have an opportunity to

1772
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 4: work their way into offensive or defensive positions within this roster.

1773
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 4: And OTA's is really win. This starts workouts, is really win.

1774
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 4: This all starts when coaches and I know coaches really

1775
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 4: aren't around right now, but when OTAs begin is when

1776
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 4: they can finally put their eyes back on these players

1777
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,360
Speaker 4: to see what they did in the offseason, how they improved.

1778
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,719
Speaker 3: It's a fun part of the off season.

1779
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 5: That's going to do it.

1780
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 2: For a Monday edition of One Bill's Live, Mattie, thanks

1781
