Speaker 2: Bill's Live here on a Friday, and man, is there

5
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: some seismic news across the NFL. Today, Rams All Pro

6
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: defensive tackle Aaron Donalds has announced his retirement at age

7
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: thirty two. Three time Defensive Player of the Year, Defensive

8
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year, ten Pros, eight first Team All Pros,

9
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: first ballot, Hall of Famer for sure. Calls it a

10
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: career at age thirty two. This is something he had

11
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: been flirting with in recent years. You remember a couple

12
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: of years ago after the Super Bowl. Yeah, he was

13
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: talking about perhaps doing it. So it's not like this

14
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: isn't a subject that hasn't been broached by him before.

15
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: But with his ten year career, only he and Barry

16
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: Sanders will retire having been to a Pro Bowl every

17
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: single season in which they played. That's rare company.

18
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: He's walking off. He's walking away from a thirty million

19
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: dollar contract. And I'll say it again, thirty million per year,

20
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars a year contract. And I'll say this too.

21
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: People don't get how much it hurts to play pro football.

22
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: They have they've already taken him off the off the

23
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: salary list. Oh really, Yeah, he's not even on He's

24
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: not even on there.

25
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

26
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: I can't even go back and look at his contract

27
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: that was abrupt. Yeah. So it's he's walking away from

28
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: about thirty million plus bucks a year and that's hard

29
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: to do. We're we're laughing about it in the control

30
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: room back there. I mean, how good does your life

31
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: have to be? Or what are you dreading so much

32
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: that you'll leave that on the table. It's a hard

33
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: game to play. And kudos to a guy who's made it.

34
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: He's made a pile of money. He's got all the

35
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: accolades you just read them off that you could ever want.

36
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: And he says, you know what, that's enough, I'm done.

37
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: I want to go do something else. And you know,

38
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: I hope he's really happy in his decision. And that's

39
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: a that's a big one. That's yeah. That he is

40
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: the player of his general defensive player of his generation

41
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: and he's calling it quits. That's that's hard to do.

42
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: And I'm kudos for having the courage in the.

43
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: Will to do it, I would say, yeah, not especially

44
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: with that kind of money. But I mean, I know

45
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: he's made that money each of the last several years

46
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: because it was a multi year deal that averaged about

47
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: thirty one a year. So he's already put a good

48
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: chunk of that in his pocket. And unfortunately for the Rams,

49
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: like I thought, they had made some nice moves so

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: far here early in free agency, they bolstered their defensive

51
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: line with a starting guard from Detroit and Jonah Jackson.

52
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: They get Darius Williams back, the corner who left them

53
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: in free agency and is now back two years later.

54
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: They just signed free agent safety Cameron Curl yesterday, so

55
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: and they signed their other starting guard of their own,

56
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: Kevin Dotson, to a monster deal like three years, forty

57
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: eight million. So they had done some nice things in

58
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: free agency to try to, you know, close the gap

59
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: between themselves and the Niners in their division. But that

60
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: is a uh, that's that's gonna be a cavernous hole

61
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: to fill.

62
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: You can't fill that. There's just no way there. There's

63
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: there isn't an Aaron Donald in this draft. You could

64
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: if you had the first pick of the draft. You

65
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: can't find a guy to replace that guy. He's not

66
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: going to commemorational. He's a generational talent. Yeah, that's that's

67
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: huge void. Now let's face it, two team's been winning

68
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: super Bowls without Aaron Donald. Uh, but they also won

69
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: one with him. So you got to figure out a

70
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: way to build a team without him. And that's that's

71
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: a big task for the For the Rams, that's think

72
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: about how that's going to change their defensive front. Oh

73
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, it's.

74
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: A change for sure.

75
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

76
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

77
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: Let's get to Bill's news because there is a healthy

78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: dose of it. Buffalo has added reportedly a second veteran

79
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: receiver in two days. The Bill's reportedly signing wide receiver

80
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel to a three year deal with twenty four million. Samuel,

81
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: a former second round pick of the Carolina Panthers in

82
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean's last draft with the Panthers organization in twenty seventeen,

83
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 2: has four fifty catch seasons in his career, including a

84
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: pair of sixty catch seasons each of the last two

85
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: years with Washington. So first full season as a starter

86
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: Steve twenty eighteen. Samuel has Cam Newton as his quarterback,

87
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: thirty nine receptions, as he sits behind McCaffrey and Dj

88
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: Moore on the receiving pecking order. After that, twenty nineteen,

89
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: Cam gets hurt and he has Kyle Allen as his

90
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. Fifty four reception, six touchdowns. Twenty twenty, Teddy

91
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: Bridgewater is his quarterback, seventy seven catches for eight hundred

92
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: and fifty yards in an offense that was struggling, but

93
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: has his best season as a pro. Who Oh, by

94
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: the way, had Joe Brady as his offensive coordinator in Carolina.

95
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one, goes to Washington, follows Ron Rivera there

96
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: QB as Taylor High Hey Samuel Samuel only plays in

97
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: five games due to injury. Twenty twenty two, still in Washington,

98
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: his two qbs Taylor Heineke Carson Wentz sixty four receptions,

99
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: six hundred and fifty six yards, four touchdowns. He's the

100
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: number two receiver for all intents and purposes, behind Terry McLaurin.

101
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: And then last year in Washington with Sam Howell as

102
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: his quarterback, sixty two catches, six hundred and thirteen yards,

103
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: four touchdowns, he was the number two behind McLaurin again,

104
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: but Samuel, as I said, at his best season in

105
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: Joe Brady's offense in Carolina in twenty twenty, over one

106
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: thousand yards from scrimmage and playing with let's just I mean,

107
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: I think it's fair average quarterbacks for the most part

108
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: in his career. Josh Allen's gonna be the best quarterback

109
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: he's ever seen as a professional and a teammate.

110
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's going to be exciting to see. I

111
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: he's a good player. I mean, he's a he's fast

112
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: guys not the big body guy we had been kind

113
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: of anticipating. But that doesn't mean that they're done looking

114
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: as well Mac Hollins. They've got Curtis Samuel.

115
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: Now he's a field stretcher.

116
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: They're going to continue to fill out the room. But yeah,

117
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: this guy can go.

118
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a field stretcher. The interesting thing is

119
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: Washington and Carolina never used him that way. Guy ran

120
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: a four to three one at the COMBA.

121
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: He did not. He was a lot of his balls

122
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: are not deep balls. He's a separator, a red zone guy.

123
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: He's kind of a scatback kind of guy. They I

124
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: even saw highlights where they handed it to him out

125
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Uh, and he went right up between

126
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: the tackles. So he's courageous enough, seems to be tough enough.

127
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: He had the one season where only played five games.

128
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: Most of that he's played mostly all games, every game,

129
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: so it seems dependable in that regard as well. So

130
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: it's that'll tell you. When we did our podcast yesterday,

131
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Bills by the Numbers, we had no clue. We had

132
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: no clue this was going on, and it was. It's

133
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: a I think it's a big surprise. I had guys

134
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: stopping me today and ask you about it.

135
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we anticipated that the receiver market

136
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: was going to be more costly than what we've seen

137
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: here with this beginning of the second tier. I don't

138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: think by any stretch did any of us expect the

139
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: Bills to be participating in the first tier of free agency,

140
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: especially at the receiver position. But knowing how capstrapped they were,

141
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: even a deal of this size at eight million per

142
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: seemed a little too rich for their blood. But they've

143
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 2: made it work and the structure of the deal will

144
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: be very interesting to see what it looks like going forward.

145
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: This is a major get and I think it alleviates

146
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: the receiver needs sticking out like a sore thumb to

147
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: every other team in the league.

148
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does change things. I gotta say, this is

149
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: one of the names on a list of free agents

150
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: that would have changed the changes things for me.

151
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if it changes things for me.

152
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it it changes the urgency of it. But if

153
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: if there's a name at twenty eight, then I want

154
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: I get him, as if he's a wide out. If

155
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior is there at twenty eight, take him.

156
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's a handful of guys that I wouldn't then,

157
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, even a d Mitchell Okay, maybe you know,

158
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, and everybody's got their own guy that they like.

159
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: So if your guys there, you hope they take him.

160
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: But now I don't know. I'm like, Okay, if there's

161
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: a better player at another position, you know, snap him up.

162
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not so one thousand percent wide receiver now.

163
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: But I still think you're gonna take one of the

164
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: first three picks, you know, So we'll see, Uh, we'll see.

165
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, and that's really our question today, and we

166
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: want to hear from you. Well, how much does it

167
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: change things? It does, doesn't it?

168
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: What does the Curtis Samuel addition, signal to you about

169
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: addressing wide receiver in the draft.

170
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: You got twenty pick twenty eight, pick sixty. That's you.

171
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: There's a big difference there, and then they don't pick

172
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: again until way down in one twenty eight, so it's

173
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: not so urgent. One of the two picks should still

174
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: be a wide out, I think.

175
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: Because you have to think about not only your depth

176
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: this year, but roles you're going to have to fill

177
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: a year from now, and with some cost prohibitive salaries

178
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: like Stefan Diggs. You know, is he on this roster

179
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: next year at this time? I don't know, right, I

180
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: don't know. So you've got a plan for that instead

181
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: of drafting a wet behind the years rookie next year

182
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: in a receiver class that may not be as good.

183
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: So but we'll discuss that with you here. In short order,

184
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: let's quickly whip around the NFL. Presented by Kalida Healthy,

185
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Few trades in

186
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: the last twenty four hours in the NFL today, the

187
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: Viking announced they've traded a twenty twenty four second and

188
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 2: sixth round picks along with a twenty twenty five second

189
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: rounder to the Texans for their twenty twenty four first

190
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: pick overall of twenty three and a seventh round pick.

191
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: Minnesota now holds pick eleven and pick twenty three in

192
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: round one, and the general consensus there is now armed

193
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: with those two picks in round one, that the Vikings

194
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: will trade up for a top three or four pick

195
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: and take a quarterback. Obviously, they lost Kirk Cousins in

196
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 2: free agency to Atlanta, so it's going to be very

197
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: interesting to see if this is step one of Minnesota's

198
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: plan to get up to a spot where they can

199
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: get one of the top quarterback prospects.

200
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: If you're wondering what the twenty third pick and the

201
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: eleventh pick are worth, that will get them all the

202
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: way inside the top four. That'll get them above Arizona,

203
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: which where their value at the fourth pick of the

204
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: draft is worth a hair less well ten percent less

205
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: than the twenty third and the eleventh pick put together.

206
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: So that's what the value thing is. So if Minnesota

207
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: bundles the eleventh pick and the twenty third pick together,

208
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: they can get as high as number three. They might

209
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: have to throw in a little sweetener for new England

210
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: to get to third. But they can, they can right now,

211
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: and New England would be oupid stay not to do it.

212
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: So I think that I think Minnesota can get all

213
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: the way to number three. Now how fast they do it.

214
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: When they do it, that's another thing, because New England's

215
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: sitting there going, hey, listen, we'll take whoever we want

216
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: because we need some help too. But the eleventh pick

217
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: and the twenty third pick, that's those are huge. Having

218
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: two of those, Yeah, it's big, It's really big.

219
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: Another trade involving a quarterback, Washington sends Sam Howell to

220
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: Seattle along with a fourth and sixth round pick in

221
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 2: exchange for a third and fifth round pick. So not

222
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: much in the way of return for the Commanders for

223
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: a player who was a third round pick and started

224
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: for them all of last season. And then Chicago swings

225
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: a trade with the Chargers after Keenan Allen refused to

226
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: take a pay cut for a Los Angeles coming off

227
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: a one hundred and seven catch season, LA sends him

228
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: to Chicago for just a fourth round pick. Chicago making

229
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: big swings out there, had a lot of money to spend,

230
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: over one hundred million in cap space, and.

231
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: We saw there are people come in online Justin Field

232
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: sitting there going wait wait, wait, whoa, whoa whoa Justin

233
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna kick me to the and then

234
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: build a team. You're gonna give this guy, Caleb Williams

235
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: all of these guys to work with offensively, and you're

236
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna wonder why I wasn't any good.

237
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, he's got beef. Success in this league is

238
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: a lot about timing. Yeah, it's a lot about timing something.

239
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: It's a lot of opportunity, a lot about not going

240
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: to the Bears.

241
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: Some other big wide receiver news yesterday, in addition to

242
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: Buffalo signing Curtis Samuel, reportedly to their receiving corps, the

243
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs signed free agent receiver Marquise Brown to a one year,

244
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: seven million dollar deal. Surprise, he only costs them that much.

245
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: The receiver market, as we said, down this year, probably

246
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: in part because the draft class is so good. You know,

247
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: you're not going to overpay for a receiver and free

248
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: agency if there's a boatload of them in the draft,

249
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: and there are, really the only giant money was handed

250
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: out to Calvin Ridley the other day. So interesting. The

251
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: arms race continues in the a f C.

252
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just and Chiefs. Chiefs get another guy in,

253
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: a fast guy and he's not Tyreek Hill fast, but

254
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: the guy's fast and he's a good player.

255
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: Not a big guy.

256
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: No, he's not big. But you know, I told you

257
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: you can't. And and I'll say this is to Bills

258
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: fans who listen to our show and everybody's like, you know,

259
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: wringing their hands over we still got to get over

260
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And now there they are getting Every team's

261
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: going to get better. They're all going to make efforts

262
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: to get better. There's it's rare that you see it.

263
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Team have to tear it down, you know, year to

264
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: year and nobody and you know, like like New England

265
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: is doing it this year. Yeah, but you don't get that,

266
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: you know. And we're in a cycle where you're gonna

267
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: see And it was the same in my day as

268
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: well as an old time player. The teams that get

269
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: good kind of stay good at the same time, and

270
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: you kind of that's your arrival. During that era for

271
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: the Bills, it was Miami and Dan Marino, it was

272
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders in the playoffs. A couple of times it

273
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: was John Elway and Denver a couple of times. It

274
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: was those teams that were right there all the time

275
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: because they had those great players that coincided with your

276
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: great players in their careers. Well, you know, the Bills

277
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: are in it with the Chiefs and the Ravens and

278
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals, you know, I mean, that's kind of the

279
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the flow of the league right now. So don't worry

280
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: about how those other teams are building. Let's build ours.

281
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: Let's build our team, the Bills, and let's take them on.

282
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna You're gonna do it. That's that's

283
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: the way it is. You can't worry about how they're

284
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: building there. You got to build yours best as you

285
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: can build it, and then let's go. And that's why

286
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: you play. It's gonna be fun. The Bills are going

287
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: to be good again this year, no question and so,

288
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: and you never filled it.

289
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: Never.

290
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are not going to drop off a cliff.

291
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: You all know that. Same thing with Baltimore, same thing

292
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati. You know, I always throw Cincinnati in there

293
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: because I anticipate Joe Burrow being healthy, and if he is,

294
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: they're good, period. You know, same thing with all these teams.

295
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: Some free agent Bill's signings elsewhere the last couple of days.

296
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: In case you're keeping score players leaving the Bills organization

297
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: for other teams. Linebacker Tyrel Dodson signs with Seattle. Defensive

298
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: tackle Tim Settle signs a two year deal with Houston.

299
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: Defensive tackle Poona Ford signs a one year deal with

300
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: the Chargers, and wide receiver Trent Sherfield signs a one

301
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: year deal with Minnesota. Dodson, Settle, Ford, and Sherfield all

302
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: signing elsewhere this off season. As Steve mentioned, we got

303
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: a topic of discussion for you today, a rare topic

304
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: of discussion on a Friday. What does the Curtis Samuel

305
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: addition signal to you about addressing wide receiver in the draft?

306
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: Eight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight

307
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on board.

308
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: Got open lines for you there, or you can hit

Speaker 2: at eight oh three oh five fifty and we lead

318
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: off today with Ted in cheek Towaga. What do you

319
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: got for us?

320
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: Ted?

321
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 6: Heany good days, gentlemen, Thanks for taking my caller. I'm

322
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 6: a first slam caller, but I've been a season ticket

323
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 6: homer for well over fifty years, so I've seen a

324
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 6: lot of draft choices, good and bad.

325
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 7: You know.

326
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 6: Anyways, the reason why I want to talk to you

327
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 6: about is because the last week or two you've been

328
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 6: talking about hitting on the eleven picks that we've got

329
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 6: this year, which is quite a bit, and also the

330
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 6: free safety situation that we have to deal with. So

331
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 6: I did some research and I went back to nineteen

332
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 6: seventy nine and I looked at the Bills' draft picks

333
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 6: that year, because they had like fifteen draft picks. Okay,

334
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 6: the five of them they got from San Francisco alone

335
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 6: for the OJ Simpson trade, and that game a first

336
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 6: round pick. So that year they had like two first

337
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 6: round picks, two second round picks, the third, two, fourth

338
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 6: to fifth, six, seven, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. So

339
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 6: I'd just like to read you some of the names

340
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 6: on there that actually contributed that year in the following

341
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 6: year as the years went by. The first pick was

342
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 6: Tom Kuzeno, which never picked, which never stayed with the Bills,

343
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, because he went to Canada. The second first

344
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 6: round pick was Jerry Butler, the third the first second

345
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 6: round pick was Fritz Smurls, and the second second round

346
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 6: pick was Jim Haslett. But then if you go down

347
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 6: the line, in the fourth and fifth rounds, they drafted

348
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 6: Jeff Nixon and Rod Kush. Those two free safeties started

349
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 6: that rookie year. In fact, I remember a game. I

350
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 6: was in the Army station at Fort Dix and I

351
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 6: was listening to the game and they were playing San

352
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 6: Diego in San Diego. And that particular game, which was

353
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 6: a hard one because San Francisco San Diego at that

354
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 6: time was really an up and coming team and they

355
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 6: had a very powerful team with Dan Fouts as a quarterback. Well,

356
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 6: that game he won, and those two kids back there

357
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 6: in the backfield it accepted I think three balls, which

358
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 6: helped them win a game.

359
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 2: So so I'm guessing your point here, Ted is that

360
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: the Bills can find safety talent in the draft that

361
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 2: can help them sooner rather than later. Is that kind

362
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: of where you're going here, that's right?

363
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're right, and I'll say this too. You

364
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: talk about fifteen picks or not the guys you mentioned there.

365
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: With that, with the exception of Tom Kuzeno who decided

366
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: not to play for the Buffalo Bills, you get Jerry Butler,

367
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: Jim Haslet, Fred Smurtlers at the top of that draft,

368
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: and then get two starting safeties. That's five guys who started.

369
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: And Fred Smurtlers went on to be a five time

370
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowler, a nose tackle. Jim Haslett also was part

371
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: of the Bermuda triangle that was a well respected defense.

372
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: Got to say they hit it out of the park

373
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: on that draft. I don't know what they did with

374
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: the rest of the ten picks that were other than that,

375
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: but you get five picks out of that that are

376
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: starters on defense right out of the gate, or well,

377
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: four starters on defense and one starter on offense, Jerry Butler,

378
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: who went on to be like a Wall of Famer.

379
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good draft.

380
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: Yep. They did pretty well. And you heard Brandon Bean

381
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: say it himself, we got to hit on this draft

382
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 2: this year. Be interesting to see how many picks they

383
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: wind up with when it's all said and done. They

384
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: have eleven right now, do they come out of it

385
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: with eleven? Maybe we'll see. Maybe they got a lot

386
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: of holes they still have to fill. Steve said it

387
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: just the other day. I think with the addition now

388
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: of reportedly Curtis Samuel, it'll be about fifty eight players

389
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 2: under contract on the roster. They got a ways to go,

390
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: and maybe they don't even go all the way up

391
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: to ninety. We'll see. Back to the phones though, and

392
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: we go to Joey in Niagara. What do you got

393
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: for us?

394
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 8: Joey, Hey, guys, looking at the draft, I'm really liking

395
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 8: a few receivers where the Bills are drafting and then

396
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 8: second round, I'm hoping they target the safety out of Miami.

397
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 8: Cameron Kitchens, I thank you for the system. Well for

398
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 8: the receivers they could, I think call a couple of routs.

399
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 8: Brian Thomas Junior is the obvious like stand out, you know,

400
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 8: LSU big body receiver, jumps up and go and gets

401
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 8: the ball. He can kind of play the Z spot

402
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 8: where Diggs can easily be the ax receiver.

403
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: Curtis Samuel signing means he could easily be.

404
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 8: The wide receiver. Another run I think they could go too,

405
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 8: would be Troy Franklin out of Oregon. He's really raw,

406
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 8: but I mean he has like stupid speed and can

407
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 8: burn guys for days. Or maybe they could even go

408
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 8: off the board with an Xavier Lagett who's also pretty raw,

409
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 8: but how's the crazy athleticism and could even kind of

410
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 8: take over as the one for when Digg's time is up.

411
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the thing that we're kind of discussing, Joey,

412
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: because yeah, Curtis Samuel's a great ad. He's probably your

413
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: number two right now. As far as the roster's constituted

414
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: lining up outside opposite Diggs, because you're assuming Shakir and

415
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: King Cater inside, I don't think it precludes you from

416
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: not drafting another one. As we said near the top

417
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 2: of the show, you've got a situation where what are

418
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 2: you doing with diggs contract next year? How does his

419
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: season look this year? You know, we have Greg Cosel

420
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: on this show, and he's at the opinion that, you know,

421
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: contrary to Brandon Bean's opinion. His opinion is that Steph

422
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: is not a true number one receiver anymore. And whether

423
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 2: you believe that or not, Age is undefeated with NFL

424
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: players and quite frankly all professional players in all sports.

425
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of miles on the tires. So

426
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: you have to plan for that, and it's better to

427
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: be a year early on that plan than a year late.

428
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 2: So I think the need to draft a wide receiver

429
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: is still there. I think it reduces the need to

430
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: address it right away at pick twenty eight, although I

431
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: would still advocate for it with the class that you have.

432
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: Franklin is a receiver that, talking to people at the

433
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: Combine a couple of weeks ago after his workout, is

434
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 2: sliding a little bit. I think people are worried about

435
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 2: his narrow frame staying healthy in and how he's going

436
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 2: to hold up against physical corners in this league as

437
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: opposed to college. And let's not forget he played in

438
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve, where nobody really plays defense. The defensive

439
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: competition in the Pac twelve is not as good as

440
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 2: it is in the SEC, maybe not even as good,

441
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: and not as good as it is in the Big ten.

442
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: So if you're a receiver that eats in the PAC twelve.

443
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: It's kind of taken with a grain of salt. I

444
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: think the numbers that Xavier Lagette put up in the

445
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 2: SEC carry a lot more weight than what Franklin did

446
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: in the PAC twelve. As a matter of fact, I

447
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: likely get better than Franklin, and I would put him

448
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: higher on my board personally. And then you have Brian Thomas,

449
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: who I still don't know that he's going to be

450
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: there at twenty eight. I think he's going before that.

451
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's rising, and a couple of those

452
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: other guys are falling. I'm with you, it might come

453
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: down to a conversation of who's going to be there

454
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: at sixty, you know, right, that's you're starting to get

455
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: to that point now with the with the with the

456
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel signing.

457
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: Because twenty eight might now be a defensive lineman, you know,

458
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: defensive tackle.

459
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: Right right, So it might be one of the big bodies,

460
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: but who knows. I'll say this, we were going through

461
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: it today. You get down to about there's gonna be

462
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: about ten spots that are left over that are that

463
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: are question marks. So for instance, what I'm saying is

464
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: like there's a tight end, there's five offensive tackles, there's

465
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: four maybe five quarterbacks that are gonna get taken, you know.

466
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: So you go down the list of the positions of

467
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: the that are there that teams are gonna take high

468
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: as they can get them, and you get down to

469
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: about the mid teens, late teens. So that leaves you

470
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: about nine to ten guys picks that you don't know

471
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: that that's without taking any wide receivers. So you know

472
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: that Marvin Harrison Junior is going to be gone. You

473
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: know that a Doonsday is going to be gone. You

474
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: know Molie Neighbors, They're going to be gone. There's three more,

475
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: So that that gives you seven guys. Now there's seven

476
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: other teams that you know, are they gonna take everyone?

477
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a wide receiver. Probably not, But one

478
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: of these names on the list is gonna be there

479
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 1: for you. And but you got to start like an

480
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: ad Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, Keon Coleman, Javon Baker, Troy Franklin,

481
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: you know, Lad mcconki'll probably be there, but you're not

482
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna get You're probably not gonna get Brian Thomas, Roma Doonza,

483
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: Malik Neighbors or Marvin Harrison. Right, those are the four.

484
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna have a shot at everybody else.

485
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe at twenty eight. Now we've said it too.

486
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: If you take the sixtieth pick and your twenty your

487
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: twenty eight pick, you can get all the way up

488
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: to eighteen, up to ours Cincinnati and Jacksonville.

489
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 2: No, I think we were including the third, weren't we.

490
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: No, No, that we thought we were just those two. No, No,

491
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: that's just those two. That's just get up to seventeen.

492
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: You can get up to seventeen eighteen with with one.

493
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: With a twenty eight and sixty, you can get all

494
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: the way to eighteen. Certainly you can get to nineteen

495
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: where the rams are all right, but that's your first

496
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: and second round pick. You don't pick again until twenty

497
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: eight until day three. Yeah, you're not picking until one

498
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eighth. So but you can get up

499
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: ten spots.

500
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

501
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: Then you might be having that three really then yeah,

502
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: then you may get Brian Thomas Junior. But you're still

503
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: probably not going to get Roma Dunze, my league, Neighbors.

504
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and to Gary and

505
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: Lancaster next. What's up, Gary?

506
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're talking about having Samuel on there. It helps

507
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 9: us a little bit. And we can also look at

508
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 9: the draft and we can get if we can get

509
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 9: in the top twenty, that might be a bump, you know,

510
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 9: something that high. But uh, we don't have to go

511
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 9: too crazy. Keep your eleven picks and I guess I

512
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 9: said before to fill them in at the percentages. Get

513
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 9: a bunch of guys and we're our needs are very

514
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 9: specific right now. We can pick a couple of safeties,

515
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 9: maybe a cornerback, maybe a linebacker here and there, maybe

516
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 9: a defensive end. We were getting really nice on what

517
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 9: they're doing. They're looking at a plan and we don't

518
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 9: know what they're value these people. There's a lot of

519
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 9: receivers out there. We don't have their board, right, I mean,

520
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 9: we were Steed's right enough players and I'm sure they're

521
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 9: the board which you know he doesn't have, which is

522
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 9: Sean Thomma Truman has where their top guys are there

523
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 9: and those these guys are going to be there.

524
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gary, do you still do you still feel like

525
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: at twenty eight has got to be a wide receiver

526
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: more than anything.

527
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 9: At twenty eight. Yeah, they could. I think after the

528
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 9: first like you said, the first four or five, I

529
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 9: think those are going to go in the mid into

530
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 9: the thirties, and I don't know, you know, the past twenty.

531
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 9: If there's the guy they want, yes there's Hey, this

532
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 9: guy out of this is the guy. We'll get him.

533
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 9: But they don't have a need to move up into

534
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 9: maybe fifteen, right. I think it's a high you want

535
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 9: to go because above fifteen you're now you're starting to

536
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 9: get into the sacrifice of other stuff.

537
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: Right, And that's a valid point. Gary, I think that's

538
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: probably the biggest thing to take out of this reported

539
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel signing. While you may still want to take

540
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: a receiver in round one, maybe Curtis Samuel removes the

541
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: urgency to trade up. Maybe you can just sit there

542
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: now and take the falls to you at twenty eight,

543
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: and if the receiver value works, great, take the receiver.

544
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: If it doesn't and you've got great value at defensive tackle,

545
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: take the defensive tackle.

546
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to know too, how deep this draft is

547
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: at all the positions. I mean, some of these things

548
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: some deepid receiver, yeah, I know that.

549
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: Pretty deep at defensive tackle.

550
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: Is there is there two hundred guys in this draft

551
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: that are going to make into the NFL? Or are

552
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: you going to be able to get a guy at

553
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: pick number two forty eight where Buffalo picks are two

554
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: to four, two hundred or one eighty nine. They got

555
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: one eighty nine, two hundred and two four and two

556
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: forty eight. Are those gonna be guys that Are those

557
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna be warm bodies or are they gonna have guys

558
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: with potential? That's what I want to know, because there have.

559
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: Done a good job of finding players that can play

560
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: in this league late in the draft. Yeah, and they

561
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 2: had a lineman.

562
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: If that's the case, sit tight, be happy that you

563
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: get get the guy best guy available, and and be

564
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: happy you got eleven guys to choose from. Let's see,

565
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: let's get some of those guys, and let's not give

566
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: up two picks just to get one.

567
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: No, I hear you. I mean you can just look

568
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 2: at their late round picks the last few years, and

569
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: they haven't been good enough to make this roster, but

570
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: they've been taken off their practice squad by other clubs.

571
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean Nick Broker and Alec Austen, Alex Austin their

572
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: two seventh round picks last year. They both got picked

573
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: up off their practice squad and signed to active rosters.

574
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: Same thing with Luke Tanuda, you know, Rashad Wild, Goose

575
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: Jack Anderson. I mean these are like sixth and seventh

576
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: round picks that are getting put on other teams fifty

577
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: three man squads. So yeah, they have a pretty good

578
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: history of finding capable players or players that can be

579
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: at least developed into fifty three man roster players in

580
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: a year's time.

581
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,280

597
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: to Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry have

598
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: hired Mike Vrabel to serve as a consultant to the Browns.

599
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: Apparently he was with them in Indy at the combine

600
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: and is going to work with them as a consultant

601
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 2: this season.

602
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's a good idea. I didn't realize until

603
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: last hand, last year or two that it's commonplace for

604
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: guys like guys who have done it, like like Mike

605
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: Vrabel and Ron Rivera and the guys who've had jobs

606
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: and have gotten fired and moved on, uh right out.

607
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: After they get lose that job, other teams call on

608
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: say hey, listen, we got a new head coach, or

609
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: we got a changed head coaches, or we have some stuff.

610
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: Could you come in and you know, how did you

611
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: handle this issue? What do you guys do in your building?

612
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 7: You know?

613
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: And he helps them and he said, well, we did

614
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: it this way and this way. You know, it just

615
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: gives them some advice about how other head coaches have

616
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: done and addressed some of the issues. It's pretty commonplace

617
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: and it's a good idea.

618
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 2: I do find it interesting though, because Kevin Stefanski has

619
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: now won Coach of the Year twice in his Brown's tenure.

620
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: Rabel has wonted once and he's bringing him into as

621
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: a consult and everything.

622
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: You can never stop getting better bro this that growth mindset.

623
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: Fair enough, it's not just words. Just before we went

624
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: on the break, and I don't want to change back

625
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: to the subject, but we're talking about Brandon Bean in

626
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: his drafts, and we get calls more often than I'm

627
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: willing to share about people who don't think Brandon Bean

628
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: drafts well. And we're looking at the is draftless a

629
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: recent past all the way back to seventeen. Well, he

630
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: didn't do the seventeen drafts, so we did the eighteenth draft.

631
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Every guy he drafted in twenty eighteen is still in

632
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: the National Football League except for one, Austin prol the

633
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: last guy seventh rounder, and then you get to twenty nineteen.

634
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: Every single one of those guys is still in the

635
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: National Football league, except Voshan Joseph and Jakwan Johnson, who

636
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: was out after the twenty twenty two season. He was

637
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: on a roster last year, on a roster last year,

638
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: and then of course twenty twenty all seven we'll see one, two, three,

639
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: All seven guys he picked in twenty twenty are still

640
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. The only guy from twenty

641
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: twenty one who's not playing there's two of them, Rashad

642
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: wild Goose who left the league in twenty twenty two,

643
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: and Marquez Stevenson, who was outward since twenty one. Everybody

644
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: else he picked is still playing, and then of course

645
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Matta Riza is now back in the league.

646
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: He's the only guy from that draft that's not playing somewhere,

647
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: and everybody from this last draft is in the league,

648
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: so he whether they're on the Bills or not, you

649
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: gotta admit it's a little irrelevant because they're good enough

650
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: to play, and if they can't make Buffalo, it's not

651
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: because they can't play or weren't good enough to be drafted.

652
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: It's because it's the wrong situation for them. Well, because

653
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: they find it whatever.

654
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: Capable of earning an NFL paycheck is the point that guy.

655
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: This guy is like everybody makes the team. Yeah, everybody

656
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,479
Speaker 1: makes the NFL. Who Brandon Bean drafts there's like less

657
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: than there's like in the last three years.

658
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 2: It's like two, it's three.

659
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: It's not even a handful of guys he's drafted that

660
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: have not made it in the NFL.

661
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: So look at other people's drafts. You can't say the

662
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: same thing.

663
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

664
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones at eight oh three

665
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: zero five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

666
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: two five fifty where we have open lines for you.

667
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: We go to Dennis in North Carolina. Next, what's up Dennis?

668
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 10: Hey, Hey y'all do today?

669
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: Good?

670
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 10: Hey? So okay, last week I always Disney World and

671
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 10: there was somebody behind me like, hey, go Bills. I

672
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 10: turned around and I know Phillis Mafia down there in

673
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 10: our Disney World, So it felt pretty good.

674
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: Awesome.

675
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: They're everywhere.

676
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, I know, it's really cool. I think I've seen

677
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 10: a football player, but I'm n't for sure about it. It

678
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 10: was a big dude. But the player I love to

679
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 10: see Buffalo Draft is the defensive tackle of Brian from Texas.

680
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 10: One of those two in a safety who if you

681
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 10: could pick somebody, who will y'all pick?

682
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: Well, if I'm looking for a defensive tackle down there

683
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: at twenty eight, Dennis, and thanks for the call. I

684
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: don't think Byron Murphy, one of the two Texas defensive tackles,

685
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: is going to be there. He's going to go in

686
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: the middle of the first round. Just really an athletic

687
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 2: talent at three hundred and fifteen pounds, He's going to

688
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 2: go in the top twenty. You'd have a look at

689
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 2: Tovandre Sweat, the other Texas kid, although more people see

690
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: him as a second round draft choice. And then the

691
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: one guy that you should keep your eye on is

692
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 2: Johnny Newton, the defensive tackle from Illinois. I think he

693
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 2: could be there at twenty eight. That is a possibility.

694
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: So if he's on the board, I think he would

695
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: be a consideration. As for safety, you might be probably not.

696
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: I don't think there's there might be one safety in

697
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 2: the top fifty picks, Tyler Nuban out of Minnesota. He

698
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 2: is outstanding.

699
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: You might be able to get any safety you want.

700
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: Javon Bullard is a name up there. Cameron Kitchens somebody

701
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: we are at caller today who said, you know, he

702
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: thought Cameron Ki should be a great fit for this,

703
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: for this defensive.

704
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean, even a player like Cole Bishop is a

705
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: player you could develop perhaps into an eventual starter in time.

706
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: And he's a guy that's probably not going to go

707
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: until day three. So high quality safeties not in plentiful

708
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: supply in the draft class, So you can wait on

709
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 2: those because the value isn't super high. So I don't

710
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: know that I would give. You can probably wait till

711
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: day three.

712
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: You can almost Yeah, you can get any of them

713
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: we want. Maybe it pick sixty where the Bills pick second,

714
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: so we'll see. But now there may be somebody who

715
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: jumps off the film and Sean McDermott knows what he's

716
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: looking at more than Brownie and her I and we're

717
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: just reading you guys the online like everybody else does you.

718
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: Guy like Sean McDermott will have strong feelings about it,

719
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: and he'll say, yes, that's the guy, and if he's

720
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: available at sixty, grab him. Yeah, And it may be

721
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: a guy we don't even know.

722
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: Back to the phones and to Glenn in New Fane,

723
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: what's up, Glenn.

724
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 11: Hey Friday, Yay, okay, and I got the calendar right

725
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 11: in front of me, so he needed a little help

726
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 11: figuring it out. Anyway, Yeah, I don't think Brandon Bean

727
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 11: needs any help whatsoever. Defending his record on the draft,

728
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 11: I've only heard one person, one person, like three days ago,

729
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 11: right here on gr say anything bad about it, like

730
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 11: being only drafted, you know, Josh Allen's.

731
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was we took that call. That was fun.

732
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 9: What an idiot?

733
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 11: Okay, I don't mean to get negative, but there's newborn

734
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 11: babies that know more about the draft than that. Come on,

735
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 11: are you looking at it? I thought right away the

736
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 11: what's like a dolphin fan or I'm always suspicious there's

737
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 11: some kind of a conspiracy theory going on. But anyway,

738
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,479
Speaker 11: I watched video yesterday of Samuel after I heard about

739
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 11: us getting him, and I thought, oh my gosh, he's

740
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 11: the guy that burned us for a long one down

741
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 11: the left sideline, came out of nowhere and some of

742
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 11: his yard after catch. I was very impressed with him

743
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 11: picking up an extra three or four or five yards

744
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 11: with like three guys on them. It really takes away

745
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 11: the urgency of a receiver having to be I'm not

746
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 11: in favor of giving up anything. We need people at

747
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 11: almost every position. You don't give up a bunch of

748
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 11: draft picks in a year when you're so spread thin

749
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 11: like everywhere. I'm thinking, I hope a defensive tackle falls

750
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 11: to us at twenty eight, But if one of those

751
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 11: receivers somehow gets there, I doubt that's going to happen.

752
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 11: I still want to grab a couple receivers during the draft,

753
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 11: but I mean, we need something everywhere. I don't see

754
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 11: us giving up anything. And the other thing I wanted

755
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 11: to say was watching an old Colts game. I think

756
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 11: it was the Minnesota come from behind game. I don't

757
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 11: know if there's it last year or the year before,

758
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 11: and I'm seeing a guy in the Colts sideline and

759
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 11: I'm going, oh, my gosh, this guy looks familiar from

760
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 11: when I used to cover the team back in the eighties,

761
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 11: like part time. And it was Rusty Jones. Oh my god,

762
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 11: How how did I not notice that he's been in

763
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 11: the league this entire time?

764
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 3: Yeah?

765
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: And he just retired, just retired.

766
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 11: Congratulations, great guy to interview. And those are the type

767
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 11: of people like Steve that I missed from the old days,

768
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 11: the old school and and this team is kind of

769
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 11: getting back to that that that hometown, small town, really

770
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 11: small city atmosphere. I love it, Go Bills.

771
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Actually, Rusty came out of retirement once

772
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: because Frank Reich, when he's worked, got the job at Indianapolis.

773
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: He called Rusty first thing and coaxed him out of retirement.

774
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: And Rusty's like, how many naps can I take? I'm in?

775
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: So he came back and he was still there up

776
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: until last year. Yes, you're right, we used to. That's

777
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: a good catch by you. Rusty Jones was one of

778
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: the guys that all the old guys that I played

779
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: with and that era, they we revered him. Uh he was.

780
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: He was brilliant. He was at the cutting edge of

781
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: the of the profession of sports science. He helped guys

782
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: in their careers, transformed, got some other guys in their careers,

783
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: and he was an important part of that nineties team

784
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: that went to four straight Super Bowls. I like where

785
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: your head's at with the number twenty eight pick that

786
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: if there's a big defensive tackle or somebody that falls there.

787
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: With the Curtis Samuel signing, I'm okay with it, but

788
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: I still agree with you as well. You got to

789
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: come out of this draft with a couple of wideouts.

790
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: And I would think the further down you get into

791
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: the picks, the more they will be defined by their physicality.

792
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna get They're gonna be fast, and they're going

793
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: to be as big and as fast as they can be,

794
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: no matter what their production was in college, no matter

795
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: what their school they went to. The further down in

796
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: the picks you get down into you know, one thirty four,

797
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: one sixty one, sixty three, they're gonna be big and

798
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: fast no matter you know. And that's that's gonna be

799
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: their calling card. The Bills are going to draft traits.

800
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: The deeper into the draft, they get.

801
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but more of your phone

802
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 2: calls when we return. What does the Curtis Samuel addition

803
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: signal to you about addressing wide receiver in the draft?

804
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 2: You can let us know at ATO three oh five

805
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: fifty phone calls next here on one Pills Live presented

806
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: by co Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

807
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: it's pretty straightforward. What does the reported Curtis Samuel addition

808
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 2: signal to you about addressing wide receiver in the draft

809
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 2: Ato three oh five fifty to jump on board. Let's

810
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 2: go back to the phones and to Kevin and Hamburg.

811
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: What's up Kevin doing things?

812
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 12: For taking my call? Sure, I still want a mean

813
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 12: receiver in the in the first round, and this is

814
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 12: a defensive player that's the next Aaronde owned On, the

815
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 12: next Bally Long or something. I still want a mean

816
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 12: receiver in the first round because if we lose Diggs

817
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 12: because of the money after next year or Steve, you've

818
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 12: been seeing this ale last couple of years, Steve that

819
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 12: he keeps curtailing off at the worst time at the

820
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 12: end of the season last year and the year before,

821
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 12: at the worst time of season. He said, he keeps

822
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 12: sort of curtailing off. And that's the worst time because

823
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 12: that's getting close to the playoffs from like the holiday

824
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 12: pushed toward the playoffs. He said. The last couple of years, Steve,

825
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 12: he's mean Diggs curtailed off. That's the worst time to

826
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 12: curtail off and the worst and if he does it

827
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 12: again and he wants too much money after the next year,

828
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 12: we might have to say Austin awego or bye bye.

829
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 12: So I still want a mean receiver in the first round.

830
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, and I'll go along with all that. I

831
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: don't know that I think this last year is the

832
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: first year I think that we saw a marked decreasing

833
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: his production at the second half of the season. I

834
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of it had to do with, you know,

835
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: ce change, the offensive coordinator change, and some stuff that

836
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: was out of his control. I don't think. I don't

837
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: think Steph has went away. I just think that the

838
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: offense changed, I think, and with his drop in production,

839
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: you did see an enormous rise in Khalilsha Kirs production

840
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: and Das and Dalton Kin Caid's production and James Cook's production.

841
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of what Steph Diggs gave

842
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: to the offense was soaked up by spreading the football

843
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: around a little more with Joe Brady at offensive coordinator.

844
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: I still think Steph's got a lot in him. But

845
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: having said that, there's no question about it. You need

846
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: and good players make you better. And this isn't a

847
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 1: conference at the curtain point in history where you got

848
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomesoe, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen Tua down

849
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: in count and now you got C. J. Stroud, You

850
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: got Trevor Lawrence, you got Justin Herbert, you got some

851
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: quarterbacks you got to keep up with. And if your

852
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't have all the ammunition he needs to on

853
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: that offense and score on everybody and outscore those other guys,

854
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: you got problems. So I think that's kind of the

855
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: current point of evolution we're at in the AFC Conference

856
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: and in the NFL. If you're gonna win, you gotta

857
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: have the a the quarterback, and he's got to have

858
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: everything he needs to score on everybody. And that's and

859
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: I think that's why I'm not I'm okay with the

860
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the first round, but certainly this Curtis

861
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: Samuel signing does wonders for you know, the urgency of that.

862
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to Mike and Marilla next.

863
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 13: What's up, Mike, Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call.

864
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: Sure.

865
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 13: Uh, first off, everybody that's talking about Brandon Bean that

866
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 13: not knowing how to drafts are buying. He's probably he's

867
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 13: either first to the second best uh NFL okay, and

868
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 13: he's young, he's very very young, but he is very

869
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 13: very astute.

870
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 9: He knows what he's doing.

871
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, he knows how to draft number two. Chop Robinson

872
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 13: is my pick in the first round. He is, we

873
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 13: need the edge.

874
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 12: I will.

875
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 13: However, the other thing I want is I want to

876
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 13: see the Bills trade a couple of their late round picks,

877
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 13: maybe three of them, to move into the third round

878
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 13: and get a receiver in the third round, because the

879
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 13: second round I like sweat. So I'd go defense, defense,

880
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 13: and then I would turn around and go up and

881
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 13: go for the receiver.

882
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, fair enough, Mike, appreciate the

883
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 2: phone call.

884
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chop Robinson. He's he's turned some heads, no question

885
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: about it. His combined workout I think was really I

886
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: can't really remember exactly, but it's really good.

887
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: Oh he killed it.

888
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: Uh And I think that's one of the things that

889
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: did it for him. And I've said this too. Anytime

890
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: you got a great nickname, you're gonna go up a

891
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: couple of picks in the draft. You're gonna you're you're

892
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: picked enhanced Chop Robinson. You know, honey Badger, you go

893
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: down the list of all the great nicknames in the

894
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: Sauce gardener or but you know, Sauce was good, has

895
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: been great. But anytime you get a great nickname on

896
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: a draft prospect, he's gonna be elevated.

897
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: There is there is some thought that with Layatu Latu's

898
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: medical the UCLA pass rusher, that he may slide to

899
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 2: the bottom of round one. He had a bad neck

900
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: injury and was basically told he would never play football again,

901
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: and he came out of a medical retirement, transferred to UCLA,

902
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 2: and you know, finished with a pretty good career twenty

903
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 2: three and a half sacks thirty four tackles for loss

904
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,760
Speaker 2: his last two seasons in college. The thing that concerns

905
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 2: me about Chop Robinson's game is he was kind of

906
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 2: a one trick pony one with speed off the edge,

907
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: and because he is so fast and explosive, he won

908
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the time that way, never really had

909
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 2: to develop counter moves an arsenal of handwork to win.

910
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 2: That concerns me a little bit. The reason why is

911
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 2: because I fear that at the NFL level you can't

912
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 2: just win with speed. The tackles are too good. They're

913
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 2: also bigger, longer, and stronger than anything he saw in college,

914
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 2: and so if he doesn't have anything else to his repertoire,

915
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 2: that's not a guy that's gonna help you as much

916
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: as you think in year one, and you're banking on

917
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 2: him developing an arsenal of counter moves. Otherwise he's going

918
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 2: to be a pass rush specialist on obvious passing down

919
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: to nothing more. And you want more out of a

920
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 2: first round pick than that.

921
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,439
Speaker 1: The most you could probably positively spend that stuff about

922
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: Chop that Brownie just said was the fact that he's

923
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna walk in and Von Miller's in here. And even

924
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: if you don't think von Miller can play anymore, the

925
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: guy can teach and he's and he's willing to do it,

926
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: and he talks about and he's he's good at it.

927
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that he brings to the table.

928
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: So you're getta get You're gonna get the most out

929
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: of a guy like Chop Robinson because of a guy

930
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: like Von Miller who's here to say. And you know,

931
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: let's face it, when von talks to these young guys,

932
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna sit there and listen. And so

933
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: you Vaughn would help that, but he does have that

934
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: work to do. But we'll see. I'm you know, and

935
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: I'm and I applaud you. Mike for having a name

936
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: at least if you like that guy, if you like

937
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: Chop Robinson, there you go.

938
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing. I mean, the guy played in

939
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 2: twenty two games over the last two seasons.

940
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: It's a lot of games nine and a half sex.

941
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 2: The last two seasons. So already the one trick Pony

942
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 2: doesn't have the production you think that he should. It's

943
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 2: not gonna suddenly blow awesome into something even more at

944
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 2: the NFL level. I have my concerns with him. There's

945
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: some things with his game that if in round one

946
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 2: your draft in a pass rusher, you want production in

947
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 2: year one, and I don't know that you're gonna get

948
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: that in spades from Chop Robinson, just because of the

949
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 2: nature of what his game looks like. Right now, got

950
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 2: to take a break here, but our number two is

00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: out there in Fort Wayne? Heard we had some tornadoes

970
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: out in Indiana.

971
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 14: Yes, we are good out here, Wayne, not so much

972
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 14: so I'm just praying for them. I know they were

973
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 14: three lost, and so just praying for the Midwest right now.

974
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 14: Thank you for asking, Chris, and then thanks again for

975
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 14: having me on the show. I just want to say

976
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 14: I'm really excited about the Curtis Samuel signing. I think

977
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 14: it kinda I think Bean's excited too, because I think

978
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 14: he's been trying to find this kind of player the

979
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 14: past couple of years, you know, we tried it with

980
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 14: Isaiah McKenzie, and then I would say Deontay Hardy kind

981
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 14: of looking for that guy that can spread the field

982
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 14: a little bit, but can also take some handoffs and

983
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 14: do a lot of things. I don't want to say

984
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 14: Curtis is a gadget guy, but I would certainly say

985
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 14: that he's capable of running the ball as well as

986
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 14: going out in any so I'm just excited to see

987
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 14: him work with the offense and what Brady can do

988
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 14: with him getting his first full year in as the coordinator.

989
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 14: So I think that helps the draft out too, because

990
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 14: it kind of takes your foot off of sille, like

991
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 14: you need to go for a guy, but if the

992
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 14: guy falls to you pick him up.

993
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I couldn't agree more with that, And I would

994
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 2: say gadget guy is almost an injustice to the talent

995
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 2: that Curtis Samuel. He's a much higher caliber player. I mean, look,

996
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 2: Isaiah mackenzie was fun to watch. He's a talented guy,

997
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:28,240
Speaker 2: so is Deontay Hardy. But these guys were diminutive in stature.

998
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 2: They were undrafted players. Curtis Samuel is the fortieth pick

999
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: in the draft. I mean, the guy is uber talented.

1000
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 2: I think he could be much more than that for

1001
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 2: this offense, and his production is indication of that. I mean,

1002
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 2: he's got four to fifty catch seasons in his career

1003
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: playing with some pretty also ran level quarterbacks no offense,

1004
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 2: but now he's going to be playing with one of

1005
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: the best quarterbacks in football. I think his production is

1006
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,280
Speaker 2: very encouraging, and to me, it's pointing up.

1007
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: We're I don't know that we're I guess the question

1008
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: for today is I don't know that we're there quite yet,

1009
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: but it are we getting to the point where, no

1010
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: matter what happens, you can take the best player available

1011
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: on the board. Well, I don't think we're there yet.

1012
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: I think you're still leaning towards defensive tackle. Defensive line

1013
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: or wide receiver got to be one of those two positions.

1014
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: Now that may change between now in draft day, but

1015
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: today we're still there, and that's really the question. Has

1016
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: defensive line or pass rusher one of those guys taken

1017
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: over or become more possible because of the Curtis Samuel

1018
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: signing or even more pressing. Yeah, we're more pressing, I'd

1019
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: say maybe, but you just signed Daikwe Jones and aj

1020
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: A Panessa too, so that I don't know that we've

1021
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: changed too much from where we were a week ago,

1022
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: but certainly the urgency has dropped. I keep saying it,

1023
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: but that's really the question of the day. Have we

1024
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: gotten to a place in this draft where we can

1025
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: take the absolute best player, even if it's like an

1026
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: offensive lineman or a or a tight end, you know,

1027
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: one of those best line best line backer on the board.

1028
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 1: Can we take the best player available at any position

1029
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: on the board. I don't know that we're there yet,

1030
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: but but he's ticking.

1031
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 2: The boxes like he usually does.

1032
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: Surely boxes, that's exactly right, It's exactly right.

1033
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 2: Uh, let's check back in and we go to Tom

1034
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 2: in Lackawana next. What's up, Tom, guys?

1035
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 3: A couple things all affecting the draft. First of all,

1036
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 3: Minnesota getting another first round pick with Houston. I don't

1037
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,959
Speaker 3: like that at all because I think they may try

1038
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 3: to get the third pick with New England, and I

1039
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 3: don't want to build New England with more first round picks,

1040
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 3: which also might take away more people trying to take

1041
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,439
Speaker 3: a wide receiver. So I really don't like that one.

1042
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 3: And then as far as what Samuel effects, well, my scenario. Well,

1043
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 3: first of all, before I get to that, if anybody

1044
00:56:56,080 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 3: heard anything from being on why we got a fourth

1045
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 3: round comp pick instead of a third, because to me,

1046
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 3: that third pick they could if they had the third pick,

1047
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 3: they could put it with the second and move up

1048
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 3: higher in the second so that they don't take a

1049
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 3: wide receiver at twenty eight. They could still get mcconkei

1050
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 3: or leg it earlier in the second round, which I

1051
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,479
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to be around for their pick.

1052
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 3: So I'm wondering what's happening now.

1053
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 2: There's no clarity on it, unfortunately, Tom, I don't know

1054
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 2: if Brandon Bean has inquired with the league, like why

1055
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 2: they only got a fourth We haven't been privy to

1056
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: any inquiries if there have been any. I know that

1057
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 2: Cincinnati got a compick changed because the league realized they

1058
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 2: messed up their formula in assessing what Cincinnati should get

1059
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 2: for their free agent losses last year. So they originally

1060
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 2: had two sixes and one of those sixes got turned

1061
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 2: into a three because they knew they screwed up and

1062
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 2: corrected it. I don't know if they feel the same

1063
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 2: about their mathematics with regard to the Bills and Tremaine Edmonds,

1064
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 2: but nothing as of yet. I wouldn't anticipate it because

1065
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 2: I would imagine that review process has taken place already.

1066
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, right, yeah, we haven't. We haven't. I haven't talked

1067
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: to Brandon about that or gotten an explanation, but be

1068
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: sure that they asked for one and got one that

1069
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: they at least had to live with.

1070
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 3: Well, my scenario then would Thomas will probably be gone.

1071
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 3: The only other guy that I think would really fit

1072
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 3: Buffalo's specs would be Mitchell. If he's there, then you know, yeah,

1073
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 3: I would take him. If not, then I'd take somebody

1074
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 3: like Darius Robinson. He can play any position on the

1075
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 3: defensive line, and then see what you get in the

1076
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:40,439
Speaker 3: second round.

1077
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Tom, appreciate the phone call eight

1078
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 2: oh three oh five fifty the number to get on board.

1079
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 2: As we're kind of taking this report of court at

1080
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 2: Samuel signing and asking you, what does it signal to

1081
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,439
Speaker 2: you about addressing a wide receiver in the draft. Now

1082
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 2: that you have a proven commodity to serve as your

1083
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 2: number two receiver opposite Stefan, we go to Butcher on

1084
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 2: the east side. What do you got for his butcher.

1085
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, gentlemen, thanks so much for taking my call. I

1086
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 4: appreciate that. I'm gonna get right to it. First of all,

1087
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,919
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take uh just thank Brandan Bean for being

1088
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 4: who he is, a very intelligent man, and he knows

1089
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 4: exactly his strategy of how he's putting together this football team. Now,

1090
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people I don't know. I mean,

1091
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people want a wide receiver

1092
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 4: in the first or the second round of this draft.

1093
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 4: Brandon Bean just got you two wide receivers. Really, he

1094
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 4: got you three. You got kJ Hamler, who runs a

1095
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 4: four to three forty coming out of Denver's already on

1096
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 4: the roster. And I know Brandon has spoke with his agent.

1097
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 4: I know Brandon Bean has spoke with Mac Howell's agent

1098
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 4: before he signed. I know Brandon Bean has spoken to

1099
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 4: Curtis Samuel's agent before he signed. Curtis runs a four

1100
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 4: to three. kJ Hamler runs a four to three. You

1101
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 4: already got your tier. You're already you already have bigs.

1102
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 4: You have Justin Shorter, you have Shavers, you got the

1103
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 4: other guys that you're on the team. Now on top

1104
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 4: of it, you're gonna get probably get a wide receiver

1105
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 4: in the draft. I can't say it's going to be

1106
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 4: the first two, but I can see them getting one.

1107
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 4: But now the reason why I want to, it's the

1108
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 4: reason why I called is our draft board is really

1109
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if people are really looking at our

1110
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 4: draft board, our selections. We're really set up for one

1111
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 4: major move. I gotta say before I told you guys

1112
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 4: before that I would like because it's a lot of

1113
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 4: heat and Carolina right now, of the Panthers not having

1114
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 4: a first round draft picks, I would love for Brandon

1115
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 4: being to reach out to Carolina and get that thirty

1116
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 4: third along with that thirty nine, along with that one

1117
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 4: on one to move back five slots and we take

1118
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 4: the we own the whole second day. We have three

1119
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 4: second round picks, plus if we have three with two

1120
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 4: fourth three fourth round picks sorry, and three the fifth

1121
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 4: round picks. Now that's a lot of ammo and with

1122
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 4: the board to be perfect. Now, my pick, as you

1123
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 4: guys already know, and I'm gonna say, I don't mean

1124
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 4: to sound redune it, but it is is Jackson Powers Johnson.

1125
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 4: He is the perfect pick for what we already have done.

1126
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 4: And I really believe if I was Brandon Bean, I'll

1127
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 4: look back at the Carolina Panthers. Since we don't have

1128
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 4: a third, we get two seconds. That means we have

1129
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 4: three second round picks on day two and we can

1130
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 4: start the ball rolling. I'm just saying that on my end,

1131
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 4: but I just want to say that Curtis Samuel H.

1132
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 4: Signing was outstanding to get alone with Joe Brady along

1133
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 4: with k J. Hammler, two four to three guys with speed,

1134
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 4: and I just like exactly what they're doing in the

1135
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 4: way you do it. But if I again, if I

1136
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 4: was Brandon Bean, I'll reach out to Carolina about moving

1137
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 4: back to three and getting those two second picks. Anyway,

1138
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 4: thanks so much for taking my pall. I love WBM

1139
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 4: and I love all the fans. Thank you so much.

1140
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 11: Guy.

1141
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Okay, now the Bills could make that happen if.

1142
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 2: They don't need to. I don't think Carolina needs to

1143
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 2: give all that up just to move up today would

1144
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 2: have hive spot.

1145
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I was looking at it right now. Carolina is at

1146
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: is at pick number thirty three sixty five.

1147
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 2: Oh they don't have thirty nine.

1148
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: They do have thirty nine. Yeah, but if you got

1149
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: if they wanted to go thirty three and sixty five.

1150
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have to give up thirty nine to

1151
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 2: get up to They.

1152
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Could give up thirty They could give up thirty nine

1153
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: and sixty five move up to where Buffalo is.

1154
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: At twenty eight.

1155
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Twenty eight.

1156
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have to give up all three, just.

1157
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Two of the three. And you could do that. I mean,

1158
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: and you know, if they could give up, the Bills

1159
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: could ask for the thirty three and the sixty five

1160
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: pick and then throw in. The Bills would throw in

1161
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 1: let's see, throw in a five six, they would throw in. Yeah,

1162
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: they'd throw in a more. It'd be more than that,

1163
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: probably a five an early five. So yeah, you could

1164
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: make it happen. We could make it happen. But you

1165
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: drop back five picks, pick up an extra one, and

1166
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: you'd get that first pick of the third round. So

1167
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: then you could have a third round pick and it'd

1168
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: be the first one.

1169
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially if the port's not looking right. Yeah,

1170
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 2: you could slide act. I'm not opposed to it. You know,

1171
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 2: if the value on your board is lousy.

1172
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a push though, I mean, you'd be

1173
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: given it might be that if if it might be

1174
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: that you'd have to give them one of your later

1175
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: round picks two, so you'd move up, you'd move one

1176
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: of your picks up into the front.

1177
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. Now you've got the point there though,

1178
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 2: is now you've got three picks, you know, in the

1179
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 2: top one twenty or top one twenty eight, yeah, instead

1180
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 2: of or actually no, you've.

1181
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: Got you've got one four, yes.

1182
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 2: Four picks in the top one twenty eight instead of three.

1183
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1184
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 2: So that's where you come out ahead, right, Yeah, I mean,

1185
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 2: I think any anything and everything will be entertained. I

1186
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 2: think being has shown over the years he will listen

1187
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 2: to just about anything that sounds reasonable and consider it.

1188
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 2: I mean, he doesn't just wave stuff off willy nilly.

1189
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember Buddy Nicks. He didn't like making

1190
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 2: trades on draft day. He was a guy that liked

1191
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 2: to stick to the board and stay there. The only

1192
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 2: time he really ever did make a move was when

1193
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 2: they moved back from pick eight down to sixteen and

1194
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 2: assistant GM Doug Whaley wanted them to move back again,

1195
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 2: and Budd he didn't want to move anymore. He wanted

1196
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 2: to take his quarterback, and he took EJ. Manuel at sixteen,

1197
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 2: when most everyone else in the room thought they could

1198
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 2: still move back and still wait and still get him,

1199
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: and he was getting Nancy. He didn't like that, so

1200
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 2: he said, now we're picking him here, and that's it.

1201
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 2: Brandon is not afraid to wheel and deal at all,

1202
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 2: as evidenced by his recent draft history. Back to the

1203
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 2: phones we go and to Mark and West Seneca. What's up,

1204
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Mark Day, good.

1205
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:53,479
Speaker 15: Affternoon, guys, first thing receiver. If ad Mitchell's not there

1206
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 15: at twenty eight, I'm all on board with Butcher's talking

1207
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 15: about and moving back, especially being get the thirty third pick,

1208
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 15: that would be a must. And then whatever else you pick,

1209
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 15: get thirty nine or sixty or whatever or sixty five,

1210
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 15: whatever it was you guys were talking about. That's fine.

1211
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 15: But you know, otherwise, if Mitchell's there, you take them.

1212
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 15: I think you have to take them. I'm not too

1213
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 15: sure about moving up. I'm not with the lack of

1214
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 15: that third round pick. I'm not sure I want to

1215
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 15: give up picks and only have a first round or

1216
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 15: not pick until the fourth round. That's not in the

1217
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 15: cards for me. And then I have a question with

1218
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 15: the loss of Morris and McGovern moving to center and

1219
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 15: the limited experience that he seems to have from what

1220
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 15: I've heard in playing center. What is that going to

1221
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 15: do with the pass protections? Because I know that was

1222
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 15: one of the strongest points in Mitch's game, his intelligence

1223
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 15: and how he commanded the offensive line. How is that

1224
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 15: going to affect Josh and how much he has to

1225
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 15: intervene in setting protections And maybe if you guys could

1226
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 15: go into that a little bit, how much the quarterback

1227
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 15: actually does do that? Does he only do it when

1228
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 15: he sees something after the protections have been set? And

1229
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 15: then my other question real quick is, and I'll hang

1230
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 15: up and listen, is why is it so important all

1231
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 15: the time to identify the mic linebacker? So I'll hang

1232
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 15: up and listen. Thanks guys, all.

1233
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 2: Right, thanks for the call.

1234
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Mark, you want to take that, or well, you identify

1235
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: the mic linebacker because he is a guy that you're

1236
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna leave. You're gonna leave him unblocked, or you're gonna

1237
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: depending on the protection. He's a guy you're identifying because

1238
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: when they shift around and move, you want to make

1239
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: sure the offense still sees him as the guy they're

1240
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: they're setting their protection off of. So if the.

1241
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 2: So he's like a reference point.

1242
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: He's a reference point. So everything starts with him, and

1243
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: they say, okay, if we're not blocking him, or we

1244
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: are blocking him, we've got to set it this way.

1245
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: And then you'll have Mitch Morris or the centers. They'll

1246
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: all start talking about who they got and how they

1247
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: got him, and they'll have calls in there this listen,

1248
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: if we're gonna make if I make a chip call,

1249
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: or if I make a calf call or a cow

1250
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: call or whatever you want to whatever call you can

1251
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: think of, and they make it all up in their head.

1252
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean they make it up and they say, let's

1253
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 1: call this this and that. So the guard center will

1254
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: work this guy to that guy, and I say this

1255
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: guy to that guy. They'll work from Aaron Donald up

1256
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: to the linebacker, and they'll work from this guy over

1257
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: to that linebacker, or they'll work from the defensive tackle

1258
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,479
Speaker 1: over to the defensive end. They'll take the front guys

1259
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: and then somebody else has got the backer if they

1260
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: come up. So it's all code words for who they're

1261
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna block, who's gonna block who, And we need to

1262
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: have the big guys, and we want their helmets. The

1263
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: big guy helmets on the other team's big guy helmets.

1264
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: We don't want to have our left tackle block in

1265
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: a corner unless there's only three other guys Russian or

1266
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: four other guys Russian. You want your big dudes on

1267
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: big dudes and the little guys blocking the little guys.

1268
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 1: That's that's the kind of puzzle that you put together.

1269
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: As you're standing as Josh's standing back there and shotgun

1270
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: and he's looking at all his films that he says, well,

1271
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: when i've seen this, this guy's coming over here, so

1272
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this in the protection and they'll just

1273
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: you can you can hear him saying that on the

1274
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. He goes, all right, well, we're good,

1275
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: we're good, we got it. We're exactly where we need

1276
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: to be, you know. That's what he'll say, and that

1277
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: those guys know what that means. So it's all and

1278
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: they just sometimes they put it in these fancy code

1279
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: words and other times they go, you got fifty two,

1280
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, block that dude.

1281
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,759
Speaker 2: And there are dummy calls too, right, so that the

1282
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 2: defense doesn't get a beat on what they're doing.

1283
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: That's what all dummy, that's what all that's about. And

1284
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: what was the other thing he was I want to

1285
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 1: know about.

1286
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 2: Well, he's talking about the move of McGovern to center

1287
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 2: and how that could impact Josh would have put more

1288
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 2: on his plate. I don't think they make a move

1289
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 2: like that to put more of a burden on Josh Allen.

1290
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 2: They know stuff that we don't just from being in

1291
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 2: the daily practice setting and the meeting rooms every day.

1292
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 2: They know what Connor McGovern's capable of. They've been around

1293
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 2: him for the last three hundred and sixty five days.

1294
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 2: They have a very strong breath of knowledge as to

1295
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 2: what he's capable of. They clearly think this is a

1296
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 2: movie's capable of making.

1297
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: He's been doing that sitting next to the guy doing

1298
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: the job for five years. That's I mean, yeah, it's

1299
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: not I mean it's not easy, but it's not rocket science.

1300
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: He's been watching it and talking about it for five

1301
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: years as a professional guard in the NFL with the

1302
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys and now for a year with the Buffalo Bills.

1303
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: He can do it. If he couldn't do it, they

1304
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't even have thought about making this move. It does

1305
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: not change anything for Josh Allen except maybe he's a

1306
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: better worse snapper than Mitch Morse was, you know, physically,

1307
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: so that's the only thing it changes, but mentally it

1308
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't change anything at all for the quarterback.

1309
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and we go to

1310
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 2: Chris and Tampa next. How are we doing, Chris? What

1311
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

1312
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 15: Hey? Guy?

1313
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 7: So fall as well? Just a quick question, do you

1314
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 7: think Bean is going to address free safety in free agency?

1315
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 7: I'm real curious about this kid from the Colts. I've

1316
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 7: watched some film on him and heard a lot of

1317
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 7: positive things.

1318
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:10,799
Speaker 2: Julian John Blackman.

1319
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think he's.

1320
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 7: Flying under the radar. And the last I heard, he

1321
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 7: hasn't signed anywhere. And one last thing, has somebody talked

1322
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 7: to von Miller about the tweets that he used to

1323
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 7: send out. I know he used to talk about OBJ

1324
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 7: and Hopkins coming to Buffalo. I find it curious he

1325
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 7: hasn't said a thing about Simmons anything there that might

1326
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 7: happen with the Bills.

1327
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's hard to say, Chris. I mean,

1328
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 2: I still think Simmons is going to command a fair

1329
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 2: amount of money, although a lot of money has been

1330
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 2: spent already here in the first week of free agency.

1331
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: As we've said on this show several times this week,

1332
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 2: we anticipate the safety market to be a very depressed

1333
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 2: market because, by my account, after all the player releases

1334
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: due to high salaries. Like to Justin Simmons, there were

1335
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 2: twenty nine safeties started who had starting jobs in the

1336
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 2: NFL last season that were on the free agent market.

1337
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 2: That is a supply that far out weighs demand. So

1338
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 2: in my estimation, you're going to be able to get

1339
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 2: safeties for affordable prices, and with each passing day that

1340
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 2: price drops. So with what is still out there on

1341
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 2: the market, and you mentioned a couple of them, Simmons,

1342
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 2: Julian Blackman from Indianapolis, there are others. I mean, Cameron

1343
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 2: Curle just signed, so he's off the market, the Washington

1344
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 2: free agent. But the vast majority of them are available.

1345
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 2: And I think if Brandon Bean holds his water, he's

1346
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 2: still going to be able to get a pretty good

1347
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 2: free safety veteran. You know that you can plug in

1348
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 2: to your roster. I still don't think that precludes you

1349
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 2: from drafting one. I think you have to get an

1350
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 2: infusion of youth at the position as well and get

1351
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 2: some people schooled up, So when the next line of

1352
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,600
Speaker 2: veteran players, especially if you get a twenty nine to

1353
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 2: thirty thirty one year old safety players ready in a

1354
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 2: year or two to maybe assume that starting role.

1355
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say yes to your question. If he's

1356
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 1: going to address it in free agency, I would say yes,

1357
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: And it's probably going to be in June.

1358
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's going to be right away,

1359
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 2: but we'll see. I mean, maybe maybe they can get

1360
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 2: somebody for a real cheap number that they weren't anticipating

1361
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 2: and they just you know, do the deal. Now. That's

1362
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 2: possible too, but the safety market is is very depressed

1363
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 2: because of the glut of talent that's out there, So

1364
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 2: we'll see. But I think they'll be able to add

1365
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 2: somebody at a pretty affordable price. Let's get another call

1366
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 2: in here before the breakout to Matt and Hamburg. What

1367
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 2: do you got Matt.

1368
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 5: Hey, gentlemen, paulm just to kind of throw it out

1369
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 5: there that you know, in response to your question about

1370
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 5: what if Samuel Curtis pick up means for our draft priority,

1371
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 5: I think it depends on why you need why you

1372
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:57,639
Speaker 5: thought we needed to go wide out in the first

1373
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 5: round in the first place. Was it to replace Game

1374
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 5: Davis at least on a temporary basis, or was it

1375
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 5: to prepare for the possible departures upon Diggs. Because if

1376
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 5: you're looking at getting the dig Dig's replacement, I think

1377
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 5: you can find him in a later round. I mean,

1378
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 5: what was Poop and Kakua fifth or sixth round last year?

1379
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 2: And Diggs himself was a fifth rounder, right, But I.

1380
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 5: Think if you're trying to prioritize that, you need to

1381
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 5: take that pretty seriously. So if it is about Diggs,

1382
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 5: I think you still need to go first round and

1383
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 5: maybe even move up.

1384
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:32,599
Speaker 9: But I'm gonna hang up.

1385
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:34,560
Speaker 5: I'm moving around right now, get ready for work, and

1386
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 5: I'm just listening to you guys, So you gotta say.

1387
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 2: All right, no problem, Matt's yeah, there's two there's two

1388
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 2: ways to look at it.

1389
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: Good point.

1390
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 2: There really is two ways to look at it, because

1391
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 2: you can find gems later in the draft. But history

1392
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 2: has shown that it's easier said than done. I mean,

1393
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir was a fifth round pick, but we really

1394
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 2: didn't see him emerge until year two. Poop and Akoula

1395
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 2: was awesome right out of the shoot due mainly to

1396
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 2: opportunity right Cooper Cup was injured again and they had

1397
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 2: to rely on him heavily, and he came through for them.

1398
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 2: But I think most gms will tell you the best

1399
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 2: talent in the draft often offers you the best chance

1400
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 2: at success, provided they check all the other boxes off

1401
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,919
Speaker 2: the field. You know, are they hard workers? Is football

1402
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 2: important to them? You know, good teammate like all of

1403
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: that stuff counts for teams like the Bills. You know,

1404
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 2: so they don't have head cases on their roster with

1405
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 2: an enormous amount of talent, but are annoying to everybody

1406
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 2: in the building. Those guys don't fly here. So I

1407
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: think you could still make the argument for receiver in

1408
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,480
Speaker 2: round one because of what you may need to potentially

1409
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,759
Speaker 2: replace as early as twenty twenty five at the position.

1410
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: That's it was a good question why. I mean, certainly

1411
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: they had a hole in their roster when Gabe left.

1412
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: You want to replace him with us quality of players

1413
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: you want to all the time. But the future of

1414
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: the position and the future of the of the room

1415
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver, how much does that play into

1416
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do in this draft? I think I

1417
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: would think that depends on what the board looks like

1418
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: when it gets to you, And I don't want to

1419
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: push it on and take a cop out. I'm just saying,

1420
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: if you get a guy that thinks it can be

1421
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 1: that guy, well yeah, you take him. But that gets

1422
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: back to the old adage you're just gonna take the

1423
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: best guy available. But are you taking the best guy

1424
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: available just because he plays wide receiver or are you

1425
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: taking the best guy available because he's the best player

1426
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: left that anybody has to pick from, whether it's corner

1427
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: or wide receiver or defensive tackle or offensive lineman. Is

1428
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: he the best guy available? And how much of that?

1429
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 7: You know?

1430
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: What's that balance looked like? So that it's a great

1431
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: good question, But I think it falls to the fact

1432
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: that what's left on the draft board for you to take?

1433
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 1: Can you can you implement that plan and say, listen,

1434
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: this is our next number one receiver and he's gonna

1435
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: be ready in three months to be number one guy

1436
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Of course you take that dude.

1437
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.

1438
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: At twenty eight that's probably not going to That guy's

1439
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: probably not going to be there.

1440
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 2: Well maybe maybe not. The other factor is how many

1441
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 2: more position how many more roster holes? Have been filled

1442
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 2: between now and the time you get to the draft.

1443
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 2: That's going to change the approach and the perception precipitously

1444
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:25,800
Speaker 2: for being in his personnel department as well, because if

1445
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 2: you suddenly find two or three defensive tackles to satisfy

1446
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 2: that positional need and you grab another edge rusher for cheap,

1447
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're like, well, our three biggest

1448
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 2: needs on the roster are all pretty much like, We're

1449
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 2: good where we are right now, and maybe it can

1450
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 2: turn into a luxury pick where you're maybe projecting more

1451
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 2: towards twenty twenty five in the long term future than

1452
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,799
Speaker 2: you are for the here and now. That's to be determined,

1453
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 2: And that's why it's a great topic to debate here

1454
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 2: because there are no clear cut answers right now, but

1455
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 2: you can make arguments on both sides very easily. Got

1456
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 2: to take a break here, still taking your phone calls,

1457
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna crack open the tweet sheet as well. Take

1458
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 2: some questions there and some comments on what this Curtis

1459
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 2: Samuel edition has done in terms of addressing receiver in

1460
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 2: the draft. Back in a Flash here on One Bill's Live,

1461
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 2: presented by co Lout of health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1462
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1463
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you on a Friday, and we're gonna

1464
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 2: get a call in here. Before we go to the tweetsheet,

1465
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 2: we go to John and Marilla. Next. What's up John?

1466
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, Hi, guys, great show today. I've been doing those uh,

1467
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 16: those mock drafts and letting the computer pick a lot,

1468
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 16: you know, and when I pick them, I always take

1469
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 16: the sexy receiver, you know, first round or trade down.

1470
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 16: But when I let the computer do it, quite often

1471
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 16: it's kicking out, kicking out the number one center in

1472
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 16: the draft to us in the first round, which it's

1473
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 16: like every time I see it, I'm like, you got

1474
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 16: to be kidding me, because it's not that sexy. But

1475
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 16: if the number one center in the draft available at

1476
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 16: twenty eight is these, do we take him?

1477
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 2: Well, not today, No, I don't know that you do.

1478
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 1: Maybe in a week we do if if some things

1479
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,719
Speaker 1: have changed, But not today.

1480
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if you have your choice between the number

1481
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 2: one center in the draft and the number two defensive

1482
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 2: tackle in the draft, you're probably taking the defensive tackle,

1483
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So I look I got

1484
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 2: as much respect as anybody for centers, but you got

1485
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 2: a big old hoss in there that can stop the run.

1486
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 2: Knowing the positional needs of this team, and I'm not

1487
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 2: dismissing center, but it looks like McGovern is the plan.

1488
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 2: I think Alec Anderson would probably project to be as

1489
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 2: backup as of right now. And that's not to say

1490
01:18:55,720 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 2: you couldn't take a center or regard later. I mean,

1491
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 2: stranger things have happened, but I would tend to think no.

1492
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 2: I know there's been a Mocker two that's projected Jackson

1493
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 2: powers Johnson to them. We'll see. I don't think it's likely,

1494
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 2: but you know, stranger things have happened, and we got

1495
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 2: a long way between now and the end of April's right.

1496
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it today because I don't know. Maybe

1497
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: maybe the front office and being and McDermot are in

1498
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: a way different mental headspace than all of us because

1499
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: we're just getting our mind around it. But you know,

1500
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: maybe they've got higher expectations for mac Collins, maybe they

1501
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: got higher expectations for Justin Shorter and Tyrell Shavers, and

1502
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,839
Speaker 1: certainly Curtis Samuel changes things a little bit. The finish

1503
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: to the year that Shaquille Shakiir had Khalil Shakir Had

1504
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: Kincaid digs of course, James Cook. I mean they feel

1505
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: they may feel like, Okay, we're good to go. Now,

1506
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure our offensive line has enough depth

1507
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 1: and we're going to take the top center. Okay, but

1508
01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: they see things a little differently than we do today.

1509
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 2: I I.

1510
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: Would like to see him and then let's get back

1511
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: to ward we were a minute ago. Let's see if

1512
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: they can just grab the best guy. If that's a

1513
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,679
Speaker 1: number one center, fine, If it's a number one guard, fine,

1514
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: what you got to get your mind around that, because

1515
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to It's not always going to be

1516
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:16,959
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid.

1517
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's not always going to be the sexy pick.

1518
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: It's not always going to be that guy, and it's

1519
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: not always going to be Dean Dawkins. You know, you

1520
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: gotta be you gotta be ready for that kind of thing.

1521
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 1: And I they got to they know their needs better

1522
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: than we do. So right now, I still think we're

1523
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: all carrying this weight of this number two wide receiver

1524
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: and maybe it's time forced to maybe put it down.

1525
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, which brings us to some of

1526
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 2: the comments on the tweet sheet brought to you by

1527
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 2: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1528
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. What does the Curtis Samuel addition signals to

1529
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 2: you about addressing wide receiver in the draft? And Kevin says,

1530
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 2: keep loading up, try to move up and get your

1531
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 2: rookie stud receiver and possible low cost DIGS replacement for

1532
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 2: down the road. I think that's the only way you

1533
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 2: justify taking one of twenty eight. It's a guy that

1534
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 2: you believe can ascend into a number one receiving role

1535
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 2: for a football team. Knowing that Diggs is, you know,

1536
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 2: he's closer to the end of his tenure with the

1537
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 2: Bills than he is to the beginning. I don't think

1538
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 2: that's out landish to say, just based on where his

1539
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 2: contract is headed and knowing that the Bill's cap situation

1540
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 2: is going to be no better next year than it

1541
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 2: was this year, So he might he and von Miller

1542
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 2: might be choice A and B next year at this

1543
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 2: time for cap relief. I mean they might be.

1544
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you've got to.

1545
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 2: Plan for that. You don't want to do it after

1546
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,839
Speaker 2: You'll want to plan for that. In the twenty five draft,

1547
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 2: when those moves have already taken place and everybody knows

1548
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 2: what you're doing, right, do it a year ahead of time,

1549
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 2: and that might justify more than anything.

1550
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: They seem to be in a spot. They seem to

1551
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: be in a spot where they can do it with

1552
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 1: eleven picks. They've got enough capital to do what they

1553
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 1: want in the draft, and we've talked about them, and

1554
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: the scenarios are there. We've told you if you take

1555
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 1: your first and second, if you take the twenty eight

1556
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:16,599
Speaker 1: and the sixty pick, you can move all the way

1557
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: up to eighteen. Okay, there's one thing, or you can

1558
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: you can move from twenty eight. You take one of

1559
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,680
Speaker 1: the second or the third or fourth round picks, you

1560
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: move up, you know, a couple of picks, and you

1561
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:31,719
Speaker 1: still have nine picks left. So all of these scenarios

1562
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: are on the table. But I also think it comes

1563
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: down to the stuff we're never gonna know until after

1564
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 1: the fact. How they really see this board, who they

1565
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 1: think is gonna and when somebody gets close to getting

1566
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: to number twenty eight that they've had their eye on,

1567
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: and say, mantle Man, that kid helps us, let's go

1568
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: get him. That changes things.

1569
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 2: David on the tweets, she says, trade back, pick up

1570
01:22:56,479 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 2: a third draft Leget. You're counting on Leget in there

1571
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 2: depending on where you move back to, which is always

1572
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 2: a risk. And I think with the way to get

1573
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 2: tested and the way he from from everything we've heard

1574
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 2: from the combine, he was great, you know, at the podium,

1575
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 2: And so does he slide up the board now after

1576
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 2: running a four to three nine at two hundred and

1577
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 2: twenty one pounds, I don't know. So that's where you know,

1578
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 2: the value of your board becomes of paramount importance too,

1579
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 2: because you're trusting, okay, based on our value, this guy

1580
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 2: should be there. But there are no guarantees, as we know,

1581
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: because it only takes one team to like him a

1582
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 2: lot more than you do right to change that conversation

1583
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 2: and rule him out as an option.

1584
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, big dude like that who can run sub four four,

1585
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: even if it is by one hundredth of a second,

1586
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: four fourth fast, that plenty.

1587
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,440
Speaker 2: Fast, two hundred and twenty one pounds.

1588
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,719
Speaker 1: That's big. Two twenty is big. I mean it's bigger

1589
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:01,759
Speaker 1: than most running backs.

1590
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I watched his tape. I mean he's only

1591
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 2: six to one but he's two twenty one. He's thick

1592
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 2: all the way through his body, and he runs a

1593
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 2: four to three nine And I'm watching tape him catching

1594
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 2: the ball and he's pulling away from DB's that look

1595
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 2: like track athletes. I mean, it's impressive. When you watch

1596
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 2: his tape, it's hard not to be impressed.

1597
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 1: I'm totally with you. He's he's a player that's going

1598
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: to ascend, and he may be there at twenty eight,

1599
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: he may be not be there at twenty eight. You're

1600
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to have a list of guys you would

1601
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: take at twenty eight. It's not and I gave I've

1602
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 1: given you the list of those top seven or eight guys,

1603
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: and it gets one of them. Le Get ad Mitchell,

1604
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, Troy flank, Troy Franklin, and Keon Coleman and

1605
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Troy Franklin are the ones. I'm like, eh, But Brian

1606
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: Thomas Junior, Roma Dunzay, my League, neighbors, and Marvin Harrison.

1607
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 1: Thomas Junior, A Dounzay Neighbors and Harrison are not going

1608
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: to be there at twenty eight.

1609
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 2: In my opinion, highly doubt it.

1610
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: So that leaves you with Troy Franklin, Keon Coleman eighty

1611
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: Mitchell to really get and Ladd McConkie will probably be there.

1612
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 2: Who's a little bit, you know, smaller, but still gonna

1613
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 2: be I think he's gonna be a really.

1614
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 1: Good I think Lad McConkie's just like Khalil Shakir.

1615
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 2: I think he's a little bit better than him. But okay,

1616
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:14,919
Speaker 2: that's out same.

1617
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: Type of receiver. Yeah, the same type of guy, what

1618
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 1: you're saying. And Khalil is great for what we want.

1619
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 2: Oh you do.

1620
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not going to take a draft

1621
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: pick at twenty eight to replace Kali. No, no, no,

1622
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,679
Speaker 1: because you need a different type of receiver difference maker

1623
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: at that pick.

1624
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 2: Bob on the tweet, he says, I think they still

1625
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 2: draft too good of a class, but could be best

1626
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 2: player available in the first round. He means, still draft

1627
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 2: a receiver. Bill says, still need a wide receiver with

1628
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,640
Speaker 2: decent size for the red zone. Brian Thomas Junior or

1629
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 2: a d Mitchell who go sixty five and six or

1630
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 2: six four respectively, both of them.

1631
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't forget you've got two six y five

1632
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: tight ends.

1633
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,600
Speaker 2: You can also right, they've got MATC Collins who's six '

1634
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,560
Speaker 2: four also, although how much time he spends on offense remains.

1635
01:25:58,240 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 1: To be seen.

1636
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 2: Shavers, you got John on the tweets sheet says still

1637
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 2: gonna grab one early one. They should I should be

1638
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 2: there at twenty eight. Otherwise trade draft picks. Still need

1639
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 2: to address the secondary, but we'll definitely grab a receiver early.

1640
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 2: Losing Poyer and Hyde could determine who we grab first.

1641
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 2: Billy says that the Bills don't have to press to

1642
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 2: draft a wide receiver round one. Yeah, that's probably the

1643
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway from the Curtis Samuel edition. If there is

1644
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 2: a guy there they love, they take him. If not,

1645
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 2: maybe a DT, maybe trade out of round one and

1646
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 2: pick up a third that Brandon Bean thought he would

1647
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 2: have had let the draft come to them instead of

1648
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 2: chasing for a specific position. And that's the exact thing

1649
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,719
Speaker 2: that Brandon Bean tries to avoid. But as we've seen,

1650
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,680
Speaker 2: if the number of guys that fit the value is

1651
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 2: dwindling fast, he will move up to make sure he

1652
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 2: can get the last guy in that range for the

1653
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 2: proper value. That's why he moves up. He doesn't move

1654
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 2: up because he's like, oh I gotta have position X.

1655
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,759
Speaker 2: He moves up because he says, this is the last

1656
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 2: guy of value in this area on the board for us.

1657
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 2: If we don't get him, we got to move out.

1658
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 1: And it's easy to see why you would. Ren He

1659
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: does that a lot. He rarely moves back. When you're

1660
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 1: moving back, it's because you concede nobody on your board

1661
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: is worth that pick, that's what you're saying, and or

1662
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: that you've got so many good players at that position

1663
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 1: you're just not gonna do it. Maybe there's more than

1664
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: one player at that position on your draft board left

1665
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: and you got too many of those players. So that's

1666
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: when you move back. You're conceding that nobody on your

1667
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: board is worth it to your team to spend that

1668
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 1: draft pick on him, So you need to grab more

1669
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: picks later so you can get guys with value. That's

1670
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing, and he doesn't like to do that.

1671
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 2: Break time for us here some final comments on the

1672
01:27:45,479 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 2: tweetscheet when we return here on one Bill's Live. Oh,

1673
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 2: we've already had a few quarterback trades here in free agency.

1674
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:11,759
Speaker 2: Looks like we've got another one afoot. According to multiple

1675
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 2: national NFL reporters, have Adam Scheftery and Rapidport with Senor Anderson.

1676
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,759
Speaker 2: The Steelers are going to be sending can He Pickett

1677
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 2: to the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade that involves draft

1678
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:28,599
Speaker 2: choice swaps. Once Pittsburgh signed Russell Wilson, Pickett apparently told

1679
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 2: the Steelers he'd rather move on. So you got a

1680
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 2: guy that doesn't want to be there. I think we

1681
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 2: know what Tomlin has said for years, we want volunteers,

1682
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 2: not hostages. So once he heard that, that's all he

1683
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 2: needed to hear, throw him overboard. That makes me picket

1684
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 2: across the state to Philly probably, you know, as a

1685
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 2: backup to Jalen Hurts.

1686
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 1: Right, and you get what you can get for you,

1687
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: even if it's a sixth seventh, whatever it is, take it.

1688
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: You don't want the guy around your building for just

1689
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 1: even as a matter of course, they'd probably like Ken,

1690
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 1: he's a good dude, but he probably said, listen, this

1691
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: is a situation where I want to go someplace, and

1692
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 1: I want to go someplace else.

1693
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's gonna be any better. Why

1694
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 2: would you go to Philadelphia? Jalen Hurt's gonna play there

1695
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 2: for another ten years. Russell Wilson's playing for one next year,

1696
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 2: it could be the one again.

1697
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter why.

1698
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense to me, doesn't the calendar doesn't

1699
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 2: even line up.

1700
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't even it doesn't make sense. Here's the thing.

1701
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:28,599
Speaker 2: You don't want to get back seat for a year.

1702
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 2: You can be right back in that seat again next

1703
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:31,799
Speaker 2: year when Russell sucks.

1704
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it hasn't been any fun for Kenny Pickett to

1705
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: be there at all, and he doesn't want that to continue.

1706
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 1: He's done, Let's go someplace else. If I'm gonna back up,

1707
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna back up.

1708
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 2: I guess he was sore about being replaced by Mason Rudolph.

1709
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,360
Speaker 2: That made for an interesting weekend. Enjoy Saint Patrick's Day

1710
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:53,639
Speaker 2: everybody will see on Monday
