00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240

00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: close as it can be. You're always looking at it,

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: and sometimes you got to just tell yourself to walk away.

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the scouts to dinner tonight, which

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: would be good just to letter by clear their heads.

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Oh nice. Yeah, it's it's interesting too, because it's like

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: this culmination and like eight the agents or on pins

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: and needles, the players are losing their minds, you know,

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: and you know the gms. You know, you guys are like, okay,

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: how are you? And you just kind of watch for

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: like stuff to happen, Like, is somebody gonna go off

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: the rails like because of this ship? Because you know

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: her kids. I was a kid like that once. Yeah,

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: and what am I gonna What are we gonna do?

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: I got you know, and you do something stupid or

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: and some story comes out and you know, it's like

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: the night before Super Bowl when some guy goes you know,

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: over the wall. Yeah, so that's kind of what. It's

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: not just them, it's also I mean, you got everybody

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: in the whole business is crazy with anticipation at this point.

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy, what what a draft? So even a game?

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: What a draft? But it's it's the excitement of our sport.

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun and uh, you know, ultimately,

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: uh it is it's that fine line of getting away

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: and just clear in your head. And you know, I'm

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of anticipation for players, for agents,

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: for teams, uh, a lot of unknowns and again and

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: I feel bad for players a lot of times because

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: they get drummed up to that they're going to be

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: a top ten or a top twenty pick, and through

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: social media or through agents or media, that's not good.

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: Information and all of a sudden, you know, you always

43
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: feel bad. They showed the people on camera that are

44
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: still sitting in the green room or at their home

45
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: when they were supposed to be a first rounder and

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: now it's well into the second and then you know,

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: you always feel bad. You know, there's a human element

48
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: to this, right. You have been very busy in the

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: lead up to the draft taking care of a lot

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: of the other business with respect to your roster free agency,

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, the Ryan Bates thing. You locked that up

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: and got that done. Another piece of business though, that

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: you took care of just today from what we understand. Yeah,

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: so it's that time of picking up fifth year options.

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: So Ed Oliver, who we took in twenty nineteen, we've

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think people were doubting it would happen,

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: but we formally let his agent notice morning that we're

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: picking that up and so we'll now have eds uh

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, this year and next year and hopefully longer. Yeah.

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: And also you get the chance to you can franchise

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: him and take him, you know, you you he's a

62
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: bill for a while, elite you know. Yeah, yeah, good

63
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: for and and really how much did last year affect

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: it because you know, he was a progressive player. You

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: guy who came in he was a little raw and

66
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of finding his way, got a little

67
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: better and got a little better than last year. You know,

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: he's been a kid, that's been a kid. I say,

69
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: he's on the rise and has been on the rise

70
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: since the day you drafted him. Yeah, how much did

71
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: last year affect you know, you're saying, Okay, was it

72
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: a deciding year? Were you pretty sure before going in

73
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: or what? Yeah? I mean I think it definitely. Uh,

74
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: it made the decision much easier. Uh, these are you

75
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: always take these decisions seriously. But ed Uh, if you

76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: look at he's made strides every year and that's what

77
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: you want to see when you're when you're picking this up.

78
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: And you know, when he came out of college at Houston,

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: he for nine times out of town lined up dead

80
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: over the center and was just his job was to

81
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: rec havoc. And so it's been learning an NFL game,

82
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: learning the system, the one tech, the three tech, how

83
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: to read blocks, how to work within a rush scheme

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: and a rush plan. And it's sometimes you're gonna have

85
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: to take a guy out so that the end can

86
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: loop under and he can hit the quarterback. It's just

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: being inn sync as a group. Those are all things

88
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: that Ed has really learned. And you know he had

89
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: some sacks taken away from him last year on some

90
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: penalty plays. You know he would have had more. So

91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: we think his best football still had him. With respect

92
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: to the draft brand and the general consensus is there

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: is no consensus, especially with you know, the top ten

94
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: there and people say, wow, there's really not true elites

95
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: or whatever however you want to describe it. I know

96
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: this is the time of year when you and your

97
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: people are doing the mock drafts. In what you've seen

98
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: unfold in your draft room going through those mock drafts,

99
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: has there been as much disparity from one mock to

100
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: another as maybe people are saying there could be on

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Yeah, I mean I think there's some consensus

102
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: of a certain number of players. I don't I don't

103
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: want to say that number, but that we think, you know,

104
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: these guys, no matter what, are going to be off

105
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the board. You know, you can take these these players

106
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: in any mock, whether it's our mock, the media's mocks,

107
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: and say you're not going to be talking about this

108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: young man he's going. You know, they might have the

109
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: wrong team, but he's gone before twenty five. And so

110
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: unless you're willing to move up to a much higher spot,

111
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: these guys are out. And so then it's kind of

112
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: subtracting twenty five from what's left. And that's what we've

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: tried to give ourselves different scenarios, scenarios to all right,

114
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: what if you trade it up? Scenarios to what if

115
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: you traded back, what would still be on the clock

116
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: early in the second round. You know, we did it

117
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: without trades. We did it with trades. We've tried to

118
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: come up with as many scenarios. Almost every scout at

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: one point of one pick, whether it was in the

120
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: third round, in the first round, or mock three, got

121
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: a chance to put my shoes on and sit in

122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: my seat and then explain to the room. And some

123
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: of them it came up pretty easy, like, hey, this

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: is clearly the guy that we would we would all take,

125
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: but we had some others that, you know, we had

126
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: four or five guys here. Let's let's debate it through.

127
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk it through. Who would who would

128
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: follow us? What the scout took all right, who disagrees

129
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: and gives you a chance just to discuss some things

130
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: that could happen on you know, Friday, Thursday, you know,

131
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: whatever day it is. So essentially you're just trying to

132
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: reduce the pool in terms of what could still be

133
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: there when your picks getting close. Yeah, trying to figure

134
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: out what, what the what, trying to give yourself as

135
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, just like the coach's practice, what they're gonna get,

136
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: they're getting the look team to give them what they're

137
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna get. We're trying to give ourselves the best looks.

138
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: What our options are we going to face? What dilemma

139
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: if I'm on the clock. You know, I've got this

140
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: player on offense, this player on defense, and they both

141
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: can help us. What's the best play for now and

142
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: what's the best play for a long term? And talking

143
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: it through? I know you you know, you guys talk,

144
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: You and other gems talk to each other. You got

145
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 1: friend Joe Shane, and you've got other acquaintances and plus

146
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: now that you're five years into you've you've interacted with

147
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: almost every guy in the league right at some point.

148
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: But you guys don't tell each other, you know, all

149
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: that much about what you're thinking. And this is a

150
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: draft pool of players that is a little different. There

151
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: aren't There isn't five quarterbacks who are going to the

152
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: you know that it's a it's a mix. What does

153
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: your gut tell you how this draft is gonna be

154
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: about what may happen? Is there gonna be a train

155
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Is there's gonna be a lot of movement in the

156
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: first round? Is there gonna you know, is there gonna

157
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: be some surprises? What's you're going to tell you about

158
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: maybe how this draft is gonna stand out amongst others. Yeah,

159
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's gonna be you know, it

160
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: may be as few quarterbacks that go in one, you know,

161
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: and I think it'll be interesting to see even by

162
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: the time we pick it too, how many have gone?

163
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, have five gone? Have four gone? But um,

164
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: does two go in the first round? Does three? You know?

165
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Something one of the guys told me the Vegas odds

166
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: had it at two and a half or something like

167
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: that's Vegas. Who's who's the half a quarter back? And

168
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: that's gone? But yeah, you know, I think I think

169
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: that part of it's uh, Steve and just um, you know,

170
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: the I think there will be trades. I just don't

171
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see these big trades into the top ten,

172
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, where every year it seems like somebody's trying

173
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: to get in there, generally to get a quarterback. Um,

174
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna see that this year. We

175
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: heard a lot after last year's draft about how much

176
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: deeper the pool was going to be this year because

177
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: of the kids that went back with the extra year eligibility,

178
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: because of COVID and all of that. Is the talk

179
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: of the deeper talent pool overblown, Brandon, or is their

180
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: legit talent in like rounds three and four that could

181
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: provide quality contributors sooner rather than later for NFL rosters. Yeah,

182
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: I think there's guys. I think this draft is deep.

183
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: There will be a cut off point of uh, surefire,

184
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: you know the guy's making the roster, you know, any

185
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: any of these thirty two rosters. But I do think,

186
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, the mid rounds we'll have some depth in them,

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: and um, you know it, we'll see again, um how

188
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: far that carries. But I do think it's probably lacks

189
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: that those top guys you know, as a total draft,

190
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: but I do think it kind of makes up for

191
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: it with the numbers again to due to COVID. Right

192
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: when you and you get into this talking about the

193
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: depth of this draft, what is it that you find

194
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: is going to be important for your room when you

195
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: get in there, and that you know the communications going

196
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: and you've got all these phone lines open to whoever,

197
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: how you know, how far out do you start thinking, Okay,

198
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: well we need to make some calls about either moving

199
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: up or down. I know that everything's on the table

200
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: with you in the first round probably, but I mean

201
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: even Sean alluded to it and his press stuff about

202
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, you get into that twelve or thirteen or

203
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen pick, and that's when teams are starting

204
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: gonna listen if we're gonna get the guy we've got

205
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: to go because those when you're kind of start to

206
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: run out of first round talent the way everybody hasn't rated,

207
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: so kind of everybody's thinking the same thing. Yeah, I mean,

208
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: you definitely, you know you kind of go in and say,

209
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: all right, this is no matter what, we're not trading

210
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: any higher. If you're if you're talking about going up,

211
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: we're not trading any higher in this It would just

212
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: it would just cost us too much, right, and so

213
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: you kind of know that, and as it approaches that line,

214
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, if if if you feel it's getting thin

215
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: and you want to see what it would cost, you

216
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: do that. But while you're doing that, you're also preparing

217
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: for when you get on the clock that let's let's

218
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: pretend we're not excited that we think we can get

219
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the value that we're going to take. Now, we think

220
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: we can move down and get a similar value. So

221
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: at the same time, someone's you know, or multitude of

222
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: us are connecting with teams behind us and checking with them,

223
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: because ultimately, even if you're calling teams, they're gonna not

224
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: call you until they get on the clock to make

225
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: sure they're not excited about a player. You know, nine

226
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: times out of ten, is there I don't want to

227
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: tell you, I don't want you know, I don't want

228
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: to ask you to give up specific names. But it

229
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: hasn't in your mocks. Have there been maybe less than

230
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: a handful of players that you've kind of gravitated towards, Like,

231
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: no matter how the mocks you guys have run through,

232
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: like twenty of them or whatever, is there only like

233
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: three guys or is there two guys that kind of

234
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: keep coming up that you're gonna have to decide between,

235
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: not on all of them, I mean, and you know,

236
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: we did it in different ways where there was a

237
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: couple of times where just said, hey, guys, let's try

238
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: and um, let's try and avoid this area a little bit.

239
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: But it came up different ways. The guys did a

240
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: good job of not picking the same pick for the

241
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: Jets or the Giants or or some of these to

242
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: mix it up. And again we did some trades, but um, yeah,

243
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: we it worked out that. Um we did get several

244
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: different scenarios in one and it definitely the scenarios when

245
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: we got later in the draft change every time. With

246
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: what we saw this offseason, crazy offseason, free agency period,

247
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: trade period, whatever, we saw a definite move by a

248
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: lot of clubs, mainly in the AFC to add firepower,

249
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: whether it's quarterback trades, Russell Wilson coming into the conference

250
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: or people paying a king's ransom for a wide receiver

251
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: via trade Tyree Hill, Davante Adams, etc. Could you see

252
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: that trend continuing in the draft on Thursday, Friday and Saturday,

253
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: where maybe more teams are gravitating or putting a premium

254
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: on players that can put points on the board, receiver, breakaway,

255
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: running back, whatever it is. Because teams are coming quickly

256
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: to the realization that if we don't have an all

257
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: world quarterback, we better get as many guys as we

258
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: can that can score points. Because I don't care how

259
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: good our defense is, they're going to get twenty eight

260
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: a game. I mean, the Bills are an example that

261
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: kind of a team. You gotta keep up with those teams.

262
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: You could you see a trend where a premium is

263
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: placed on point scorers for lack of a better term, Yeah,

264
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the game's always evolving in you know,

265
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: certain positions at various times, how the game's played, or

266
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: what the rules are. Obviously the rules tend to favor offense.

267
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: You know. You just look at pass interference alone, the

268
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: advantage you get in how often that's not called on

269
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: the offensive player but it is called on the defensive player.

270
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: You know, I do think it will be looked at,

271
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: but you're you know, at this point, I think people

272
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: are gonna say, all right, what can I add at

273
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: the draft? But you know what, maybe if I get

274
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: through Friday, I've been through three rounds and I'm like,

275
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: all right, I don't think I'm gonna get the player

276
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about on offense, whether it's a tight end

277
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: or running back a receiver, But this option is still

278
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: on the table with another club to get one that

279
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: I think can help me. Now, then maybe you still

280
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: that's okay, you know what I mean? Do you think

281
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: maybe even more by trade? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I

282
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: think it's gonna there's gonna be people. I mean, again,

283
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: we talked about it. Receivers, you know, due to seven

284
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: on sevens and all that stuff are deep. So I

285
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: do think people are gonna say they are receivers in

286
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: this class that can help me, you know, pretty fast

287
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: once once they get the knowledge of the playbook. It's

288
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: almost like the value of the receiver position has reached

289
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: a level that I don't think many of us anticipated.

290
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys, with your trained eyes and all the

291
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: studying that you do, kind of foresaw this coming down

292
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: the pike with where the game's going, but not only

293
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: the value in terms of dollars and cents, because the market,

294
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the roof got blown off the receiver market,

295
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: and then on top of that, after quarterback, I mean,

296
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: receivers kind of inching its way up. I mean, it's

297
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: sitting right behind quarterback in terms of importance for football teams. Yeah,

298
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, is there any other position that trump's it.

299
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody would always say quarterback, pass rusher. Yeah,

300
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: you want those two things on your team. Receivers not

301
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: far behind. Now it seems to be inching up the

302
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: board even more. It's closed the gap for sure. I

303
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: mean I don't I wouldn't say it's passed a pass rush,

304
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: but I definitely think you know, playmakers, Um, let's just

305
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: call it that. Playmakers, which most of the times they

306
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: end up being receivers, those touchdown scores, those guys that

307
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, get the ball in the end zone, whatever

308
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: that is to help that quarterback, young quarterbacks, or said,

309
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: maybe a guy who's not the top tier but he's

310
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: a really good player, Well let's get him as many

311
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: weapons as possible. And there's only so many number one receivers,

312
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, a true number one. You

313
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: try and double them, you do whatever. They can still

314
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: find a way to make plays, and I think those

315
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: are those are what you're seeing people in these premiums.

316
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: The position that's reaching critics. One of the reasons for

317
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: this is because the game is evolved to a point

318
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: where I said it yesterday, you can't You're almost not

319
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: allowed to play defense anymore. I mean the way the

320
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: game is officiated and legislated and the rules changed and

321
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: constantly fine tuned for the offense. Do you sense at

322
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: any point in the near future, just in future, where

323
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: the pendulum may start to swing back? And how do

324
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: you stay out in front of that? You know what

325
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean? Well, I think you got to follow the

326
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: trends of the rules, and um you know, is there

327
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: a point where the league says, you know what teams

328
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: are does it? You know? I don't think you want

329
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: to see it where teams are scoring every single drive

330
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: every week? You know what I mean? There are against

331
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots, there are a game there. I love that.

332
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: Should I not have said to us, hey, I'm good

333
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: with it. I'm good that you said it. I didn't,

334
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: but I would say that, um as the game, you know,

335
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't think the league wants it to where it's

336
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: impossible to play defense. You know, I think if if

337
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: it got to that point where every game is forties

338
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: and fifties, you know, it's fun to see that here

339
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: and there drops pass. Yes, you know, when two quarterbacks

340
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: go at it, you acknowledge, you know what, that was

341
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: just two quarterbacks more than it was the defense. Um

342
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: And I still think the game is not there, but

343
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: I think if it ever got to a point, then

344
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: maybe that's where you'd see something correction some of the

345
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: some of the rules. I want to why do we

346
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: see now? And I want to get back to the

347
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: draft about why do we see so much now that

348
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: we've never seen in the past or as much of

349
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: it in the past, as grabbing a player off another

350
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: team and trading picks for him. We're seeing that more

351
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: and more these days, where teams are going for a

352
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: guy who's proven it at this level. Yeah, they're players, Yeah,

353
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: instead of going picks for picks and drafted players like

354
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: two guys that haven't played in the league yet that

355
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: you pick plus another pick here and another pick from

356
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: that team. You know, Now we're seeing guys who have

357
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: been proven traded for picks. And I get salary's economic

358
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: some of it, But why do you think that trend

359
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: is what all went into that evolution because we're seeing

360
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: it a little more commonly now. Yeah, I think if

361
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: you feel that there's a player out there and for

362
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the team and he's currently own is not

363
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: going to be able to afford him. It's a regime change,

364
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: not as not as cleam of a fit. Maybe things

365
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: haven't always worked out well there for whatever reason. Financially

366
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're seeing that, and so I think

367
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: teams are more aware now due to so everything's out

368
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: in public. You know, fifteen twenty years ago, how quickly

369
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: did you know you know what people want to be

370
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: right one? Things like that. Now a lot of these

371
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: things are out in the open. And so again that's

372
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: part of how we knew that Steph was available, Um,

373
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: you know, through social media and just checking because we

374
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: had checked before and they were like no, but um,

375
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: something's put out there and we checked into it. So um,

376
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: sometimes you didn't know to check if there was a situation.

377
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: I think that kind of triggers things and just the

378
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: evolution of social media and every nothing's nothing's sacred anymore.

379
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: I realize you're doing your prep at this point in

380
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: time in terms of reaching out to other clubs. It's

381
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: just part of the normal preparation in case you get

382
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: into situation where you want to move out of where

383
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: you're sitting, and you know, you call teams behind you,

384
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: you call teams in front of you say hey, you know,

385
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: what are you looking at? And they're probably calling you two.

386
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: How would you characterize the level of dialogue though, because

387
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: your spot is you know, we hear all the time.

388
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: Usually most teams only have about eighteen to twenty two

389
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: players with first round grades, give or take a few

390
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: every year. So you're sitting where you are, that could

391
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: be a popular area where people are either looking to

392
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: get out or get in if somebody slides for them.

393
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: So how would you characterize the level of dialogue? Has

394
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: it been heavy the last few days? Moderate? Or has

395
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: it been pretty quiet? Yeah, I mean it's it's not

396
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: been heavy, but it'll it'll pick up as we go.

397
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: But there's definitely been some calls, whether it's to me

398
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: directly or one of the other guys, Hey just letting

399
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, just talk to Team X and they said

400
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: they're open to moving back to our spot or vice versa.

401
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: They you know, depending on who's there, they might want

402
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: to come up to twenty five. That's really what we'll

403
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: go on and over the next couple of days leading

404
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: up to it and again, if if you had using

405
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: your number, if you said you have you know, we're

406
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: picking at twenty five, and you and any team picking

407
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: at twenty five and you got eighteen first round grades,

408
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: the odds are you're gonna get one if you've got

409
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: that many, because not everybody's board is the same, and

410
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: so it's really kind of you can do historically a percentage.

411
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: We have a good feel for how many picks we

412
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: need in the second round to say we're going to

413
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: get a guy at fifty seven that's in the second

414
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: round value. So I think that's a little bit of missdowner.

415
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: People say, well, they said they only had eighteen and

416
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: not the same eighteen. Is that team or that team

417
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: or no? No, right, no, And definitely in when quarterbacks

418
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: always get pumped up, you know they may not truly

419
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: have first round grades, but people are like, man, I

420
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: gotta get one. I want to take a shot on

421
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: this guy. Even though we had high second, we had

422
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: him high second, he won't be there when we pick again.

423
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: I'll trade it. The quarterbacks you almost have to treat

424
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: like a separate, separate entity. And how much different is

425
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: if any is your philosophy In twenty twenty two than

426
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: it was in twenty eighteen. When you're you get a

427
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: different roster. And this year in twenty twenty two, you

428
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: got of the six or eight seven guys you're gonna draft,

429
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: two of them might have a chance of making the

430
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: fifty three. You know what I mean to make the

431
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: fifty three because it's such a deep roster. It's such

432
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: a you know, equality roster. As you put together it

433
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: is it a different philosophy or you just say, listen,

434
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: we got to pick the best guy and if they

435
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: make it, they make it, they don't, it's practice squad

436
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: or whatever. How does that change anything? If it if

437
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: it does at all? Yeah, I mean I think I

438
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: think we have more spots than two. To your point, Um,

439
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: we do. I feel there's some areas that we still

440
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: need to add depth. And listen, maybe it's depth to

441
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: push either that person over the top or push the

442
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: guy we have here a little bit higher. You know,

443
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: we all know competition brings out the best, and so

444
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: um it's I'm not gonnasider and say every player that

445
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: we draft is definitely gonna make it, but um, they

446
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: should they protect us for injury? Okay, because we can't

447
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 1: predict if you're gonna have a run of injuries at

448
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: a certain position, and so you don't want to just

449
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: act like you're drafting today, going well, nobody on this

450
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: side of the ball is going to get hurt. We

451
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: have to prepare for that. We see it every year.

452
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: So depth is good for competition and also for injury.

453
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: And then again, I think we do have some spots that,

454
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, not necessarily frontline starters, but that can come

455
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: in and help us and maybe maybe be a tick

456
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: better than what we currently have. Talking with Bill's general

457
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: manager Brandon being just a couple of days before the draft,

458
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: and Brandon, I know, in a perfect world, seven quarterbacks

459
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: come off the board in front of you, because that's

460
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: pushing everybody else down because you guys aren't in the

461
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: market for a quarterback. Yeah, there is there any other

462
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: scenario that you could foresee that would help push more

463
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: of that talent that you're interested in down the board,

464
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: whether it's the fact that we've got over half a

465
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: dozen teams that don't even have a first round pick.

466
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: Maybe they want to get in and maybe they're taking

467
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: something that you've got no interest in, Like, is there

468
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: any other thing that can help you besides quarterbacks going

469
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: in front of end. Yeah, I mean I think there's Listen,

470
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: we build the board for the Buffalo Bills. You go

471
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: to another club, they're going to build it for them.

472
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: Not everyone builds it the same. Some teams run three four,

473
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: we run four three. They may value an outside backer

474
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: that's just a rusher and not gonna play the run

475
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: more than more than we do. Um. They may they

476
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: may look for a two gap d tackle that we're

477
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: looking for a penetrating guy with rush trades. So there

478
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: are different things of how we build our teams. UM.

479
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Somebody wants more of a true why tight end blocking,

480
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: we're maybe we're looking for more of a pass catch it.

481
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: Just so different things like that, UM character comes into play.

482
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: Maybe there's some things a guy has that UM. Some

483
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: teams are like, well, we'll be fine, we'll get them

484
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: here that maybe they take them that we don't have

485
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: on our board. UM. You know, medical, you know, maybe

486
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: there's some things that our people have some concerns with

487
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: from a longevity standpoint that somebody says, you know what,

488
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: I'll roll the dice. Um. Not. You don't always see

489
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: that in the first round, but it does happen. Yeah,

490
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: any as many three four teams in front of us.

491
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, it's the age old Ques.

492
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: We've probably asked you this every year. You come on,

493
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: you got two, you know, a balance, and if you

494
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: got to take this one or this one, who do

495
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: you take the scheme fit the guy that you know,

496
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: you know has the skill set that fits the way

497
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: you call defense or offense or whatever. Or do you

498
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: take the elite trade guy, the guy that's big, strong, fast,

499
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: got all of that stuff going on and you're just

500
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna teach him how to run yourself. You know which

501
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: one do you like the most? And I know that

502
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: there's a huge gray area between those two extremes. Yeah,

503
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: there is um Sometimes it can be the position, like

504
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: how much time do you think do you have people

505
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: in front of him? Like if you're counting on a

506
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: guy that has traits but still is a long way

507
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: away just from time on task, you know, new system news,

508
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Like if you're needing him to play now, you may

509
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: be setting him up for failure. But if if you're

510
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: putting him in a room that's got so good depth,

511
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: now you can say we we can be a little

512
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: more patient with this player so that definitely comes into question,

513
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: like you don't want to set him up for failure.

514
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: And if you if you're worried that they may have

515
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: to play too fast, you better go with maybe slightly

516
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: lesser you know, ceiling, okay, but um a higher floor.

517
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: You know he's not gonna he's not gonna fall off

518
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: and embarrass him. Saying the last one I got for

519
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: your Brandon is because we get a lot of questions

520
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: about this. We still a Trey coming out of the

521
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: weight room earlier today. How is he doing? Is there

522
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: any update on his progress or just you know, still

523
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: still on schedule kind of deal. Yeah, still on schedule.

524
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean he's doing everything. It's still you know, it's

525
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: it's so hard because you know he did this, you

526
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: know at Thanksgiving, and these take time and again you

527
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: want to let you don't want to push it. You

528
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: want to you know, he's gonna push it himself. He's

529
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: such a competitive you know young man as we all know.

530
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: And um, he's gonna get out there as quick as

531
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: he can. But you know, it's hard to put like

532
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out there August, the whatever. It's just

533
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: it's still too early. There's still there's too many tests

534
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: that in my experience, you're jumping the gun here, you know,

535
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: several months out to say he's gonna make it on

536
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: this date. Right, Yeah, I know his crew kind of

537
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: air on the side of caution because I mean, you're

538
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: not playing a game now, like what do you do

539
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: need to rush? Yeah? All right, last one for me.

540
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: It's our Twitter question of the day here. We're asking

541
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: our fans to call in and give us this. The

542

00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: a good one. I know we thought it was if

544
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean came up with. If Brandon Bean doesn't screw

545
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: it up, yeah, there go and he trust his board.

00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,480

578
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: us here on One Bills Live. We'll take a break

579
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: and we'll get to your phone calls next. Here on

580
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, presented by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo

581
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, here we are one Bills Live.

582
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: Two days to go, two days to go until the

583
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL Draft. And Steve, I know we

584
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: were talking about this before the show. I just feel

585
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: like it's corner or receiver at twenty five provided, Yeah,

586
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: the value is right. I don't know why I feel

587
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: that way. We certainly didn't ask Brandon or tried to

588
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: pin him down on any position preferences, because he wouldn't

589
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: answer that anyway. Why would he give that up? You

590
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean? I just feel like it's going

591
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: one of those two ways. If the if the values

592
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: garbage for those two positions there, I think running back

593
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: comes into play at that point in time, Yeah, I

594
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: provided they can't get out. I don't I don't think

595
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: even then running backs would be would be a guy

596
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: at twenty five. Um, I don't see enough of a

597
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: difference between Breeze, Hall and w and the other guys

598
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: on that list. There's I don't think there is a

599
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: bigger gap between where you could get one of those guys,

600
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: and you may even get one of them. You can

601
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: certain I'll bet you you'll get a good guy at

602
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: fifty seven. I don't even I don't wouldn't use it

603
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: there either. UM, I'm with you, Brownie. I'm thinking wide receiver, cornerback.

604
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: Those those are the running positions because it as the

605
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: league stands now, it is an offense league. Let me

606
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: just talk to Brandon about that. It is an offense league. Man.

607
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: You are airing it out and the Bills have got

608
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: the guy pulling the trigger. Maximize that guy. What's interesting,

609
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: And that's why I asked the question. The only problem

610
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: is you can't put seven wide receivers on the field, right,

611
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the well, right. But at the same time,

612
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: I really think that this draft could show a definitive

613
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: trend that leans player grades being equal, that leans towards

614
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. Right in a draft

615
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: where you don't really have necessarily more than one top

616
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: ten receiver, like Gary Wilson's like one of the only

617
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: receivers that's probably going to go in the top ten,

618
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: the Ohio State kid. He might be the only one

619
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: that goes in the top ten, despite the fact that

620
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: there is this raised level of desperation to get playmakers

621
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: on your roster, and even so, I think there's a

622
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: good chance because I think we all agree the top

623
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: ten picks are largely going to be offensive lineman and

624
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: pass rush like a good number like maybe six or

625
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: seven of them. You might have Sauce Gardner in there,

626
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: you might have Garrett Wilson in there, and maybe a quarterback.

627
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: The other seven are probably going to be pass rushers

628
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: and offensive tackles. So what's that doing. That's pushing more

629
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: skill position players down to the Bills at twenty five

630
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: and the other teams as well. So that's why I'm

631
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: thinking there's a pretty good chance they can get a

632
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: skilled guy there, either a corner or receiver. But I'm

633
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: just wondering if we come out of the first round

634
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: Thursday night and twenty two or the thirty two players

635
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: are on offense, you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly,

636
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: like I'm wondering if that's going to happen. That's the

637
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: trend I was trying to get at with Brandon. I

638
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: probably it'll be two thirds offense and the other third

639
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: is all edge rushers and corners. Yeah, you know what

640
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the people that can stop rights or here's

641
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: the thing. It's going to be corners, edge rushers or

642
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: into your defensive lineman, guys who you can stop the run. Right,

643
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it. Linebackers, safeties, safeties. A lot of

644
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: teams used to be this. For the teams that I

645
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: played on. Our coaching staff was like, listen, draft me

646
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: a couple of corner. Draft me a corner. If you

647
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: can't play corner, will dropping back to safety. That's what

648
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: their philosophy was. Because safety you didn't have to have

649
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: the high tweet. You just had to have be smart

650
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: and aware. So if you draft a really smart and

651
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: aware a corner and he can't cut it there moving back,

652
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: he's a safety. Here we go. That's the kind of

653
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: the position hierarchy. You're looking at your quarterback. If you

654
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: take quarterback off the off the map, because that's you know,

655
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: buffalo set there. Yeah, you go to wide receiver edge.

656
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: You take left tackle out of that and then it's

657
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: into your linement and corner. That's it. I mean, those

658
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: are those are the spots everything else, like guards, centers.

659
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: You can pick those guys up in like the Bills

660
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: did in free agency. Yep, I player grades being equal.

661
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: I see, like if you like, if a team's down

662
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: to like for example, Philadelphia Eagles, they've drafted a receiver

663
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: in the first round each of the last two years.

664
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: They're talking about doing it again. Yeah, they neat corners

665
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: now they still have two picks. But you know, it's

666
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: like Brandon, if it's down to corner receiver, they may

667
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 1: go receiver again third year in a row. It's like

668
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: Brandon said just a minute ago, he goes it's you know,

669
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to guys who can score. Guys playmakers. There's

670
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: a premium point scorer. You need guys that can get

671
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: in the end zone because you're if you're playing a

672
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: team like the Bills. I mean, that's that's why the

673
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: Dolphin's got Tyreek Hill. Yeah, because he can turn a

674
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: five yard pass into a seventy yard touchdown. You either

675
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: have to stop him or you gotta keep up. And

676
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills a chance again, they're gonna keep up. And

677
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: I think what we saw in the playoffs last year

678
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: it was evidence that it doesn't matter what kind of

679
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: defense the Bills, that number one defense in the league,

680
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: they couldn't stop Kansas City. Yeah, it's a thirty point game.

681
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: But for both clubs, I mean they're also they're lighting up.

682
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: I think the conclusion that a lot of teams have

683
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: come to is we just gotta have as much, if

684
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: not more firepower. Yeah, we gotta keep up. They're gonna

685
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: score twenty eight. We gotta be there too, And our

686
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: quarterback isn't as good as they, so we better get

687
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: as many weapons as we possibly can. And so that's

688
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: why I think if they're if a grade on a

689
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: corner and a great on receiver are equal on a

690
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: team's board, they're taking the receiver. Yeah, and think about

691
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: what their philosophy would be defensively. If you're in that boat,

692
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Clutch and grab, You're gonna yeah,

693
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get dbat You're gonna draft corners, and you're

694
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: gonna draft pass rushers. Everybody else is just a wh whatever.

695
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a linebacker who can rush the passer

696
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: or cover. Yeah, you don't care if he can stop

697
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: the run because they ain't gonna hand it off. The

698
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: Bills are up here and they got this great offense.

699
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: They're drafting running backs on the third round. We don't

700
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: have to tackle Derrick Henry every week. We don't. We're

701
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: on the division with se Quon Barkley. We're not those

702
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: guys are. We're drafting linebackers who cover and rush. That's it.

703
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: If we want to stop the run, we'll throw another

704
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: defensive lineman out there. We'll go, We'll go four across

705
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: the board and we'll do that and then just guess right.

706
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where we're at in the NFL right now.

707
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,239

Speaker 1: Let us know what defines a successful twenty twenty two

722
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: NFL draft for the Bills for you? Do you have

723
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: any preferences, Steve, No, we would define a successful draft

724
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: for you. No, And in being your twenty yes, I'm

725
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: totally focused on We tend to do this because it's

726
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: the quickest one we're gonna set on Thursday night, that

727
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: twenty fifth pick. If it's at twenty five, or if

728
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: it's four twenty five or after twenty whatever it happens,

729
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm totally sitting and waiting. I think it's I can't

730
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: get off corner and I can't get off wide out,

731
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: just like it may happen, and we don't know. We

732
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: don't know anything more than any anybody out there listening

733
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: to us or watching us do. But I feel it

734
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: that way. M Mock drafts are coming out, and you know, Maddie,

735
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: Maddie sent us to the email. I don't know if

736
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: you got it. Nine nine mock drafts have got Jamis

737
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: Williams coming to us, the Alabama wide receiver. He's not

738
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: making it right, There is no way. Twenty two mock

739
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: drafts have Andrew Booth from Cleveland, I mean Clemson, Yeah,

740
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: from Clemson, the corner from Cleveson. You could make it.

741
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: He might be there, and he's he's a dude. Partly

742
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: because it's just what we said. See, I was initially

743
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: encouraged when I said, you know, most of these draft

744
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: analysts and I would tend to agree, there isn't a

745
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: There isn't a Jamar Chase in this draft. You know,

746
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: there's nobody like that that's gonna go in the top

747
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: five picks. Now, Garrett Wilson like go somewhere between six

748
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: and ten, considered to be, you know, the best receiver

749
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: in the class. Maybe Jamison Williams gets up there too.

750
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: And then I'm thinking, does that does that trigger a

751
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: run at receiver because you got a bunch of teams

752
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: there that may take one of the Eagles being one

753
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: of them, and a couple other teams to Washington. Washington

754
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: needs somebody to pair with Terry McLaurin. So you say, okay,

755
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: so the run happens at receiver, that means the value

756
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: at twenty five for the Bills may not be very

757
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: good at that position. But what all those receivers are doing,

758
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: there's pushing corners downers. Yeah, and so they may get

759
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: a corner that they really like there. So I think

760
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: most people are seeing as like you, you and I do.

761
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: I said twenty two mock drafts per own Maddie Glab

762
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: twenty two people twenty two mock drafts had Andrew Booth

763
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: going to a seventeen of them had Trent McDuffie corner

764
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: from Washington. Those are the top two by far, by far,

765
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: both those both those two guys are way ahead of

766
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: everybody else. Then there was a couple of guys with

767
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: nine like Jameson Williams and Kyler Gordon from Washington, that

768
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So those two guys and they've seen

769
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: it like we do. There's it's gonna be a corner,

770
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be one of the guys from a

771
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: shortlist of people we've we've been talking about. But I

772
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: don't care. I do not care. I know what every

773
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: grab is gonna be somebody worth it. If it's a

774
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: running back, it's because they see something or they know something. Fine,

775
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: if it's if they could get maybe the best linebacker

776
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: in the on the board at twenty five. The way

777
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: the way the league is now, they could get a

778
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: truly freakish athlete at linebacker. Um, they could get We

779
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: were talking today that they could get that kid from

780
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, the the safety. Not no, not the one

781
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: from Notre Dame, the one from Michigan, Michigan. I'm sorry, Hill,

782
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Daxton Hill. I think he's a dark horse pick for

783
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: the Bills if the corner value isn't there, because I

784
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: think the kid can play corner. He could play corner,

785
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: and he's a safety, and he's he's kind of and

786
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: he can play anywhere, and he can run with people.

787
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: He's fast. They said they lined him up in the nickel.

788
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: They lined him up an outside on the boundary right.

789
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: He's one of those positions. Now he's a positionless second

790
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: into a little bit of stuff like he did with

791
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, like what is he? You know, where's he played?

792
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: Can he rush the passer? Can he cover? Can he Yes,

793
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: he's a great right he's a great place, so he

794
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: may be one of those guys that, like, you know what,

795
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: this is a guy, particularly for a team like Buffalo

796
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 1: Brownie who Brandon Bean has always said, listen, we gotta

797
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: we hit him with the question does it change because

798
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: you've got such a deep roster? He goes, Now, there's

799
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: always some spots there we could get some depth. This

800
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: guy gives you depth across the entire secondary one. And

801
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: we hear about position flexibility with the Bills all the

802
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: time on the offensive line and also at some other positions,

803
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: like they asked the receivers to know all the positions

804
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: across the boards. That he'll be athletic enough to play

805
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: special teams if he's not starting, so he can be

806
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: active on game day. Six foot one ninety one. I

807
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: was just watching filming him again yesterday, and I'm like,

808
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: you know what, this guy makes a lot of sense

809
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: if the value at corner isn't there for them, Like

810
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: let's say there's a run on corners in front of Buffalo.

811
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: This guy makes a ton of sense because I think

812
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: he can line up and play corner, and so you say, well,

813
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: what is his role of then in year one, let's

814
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: just say, the Bills draft this kid and he can't

815
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: beat out Dane Jackson for the number two corner role.

816
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: Now he's Dane Jackson's backup. He's Tredavious White's backup. He's

817
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson's john because he played nickel at Michigan. Also,

818
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: and you still got you still got Siran Neil on

819
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: the roster. You've got and you've got some other guy

820
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: there's they've got six corners now, so they got enough

821
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: guys that they could go into training camp and feel

822
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: good about it. But you're right, we're If you want

823
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: to think outside the box, it's going to come down

824
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: to a guy that maybe has some position flexibility, like

825
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: like one of these linebackers are a safety, like you've

826
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: been talking about. Um. But I you know, if when

827
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy that you want to come

828
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: in and start, I don't know that he's the guy

829
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: that will do that. Well. I mean, but that's only

830
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: if he's the last guy standing there. You know what

831
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yes, he's I think he's got a chance

832
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: because of his versatility to be the first safe job.

833
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: He's rated as the second overall safety because the other

834
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: kid I was mentioning Notre Dame is ranked ahead of

835
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: him as a safety, but he's more versatile than that kid,

836
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, And he's the kid from Notre Dame.

837
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton is. He was considered like a top five pick.

838
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: Then he tested and he ran like a four to

839
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: six five and people are like, well, what what's that about.

840
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: He had a horrible Pro day combine, whatever it was,

841
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: and he has dropped precipitously because of it. Still a

842
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: great football player. I think you could have a good career.

843
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: But suddenly the predictions aren't as lofty as they once

844
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: were on him. Daxton Hill is an athlete. Guy runs

845
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: a four three seven yea six foot one ninety one,

846
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: pretty aggressive as a tackler, even though he doesn't have

847
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: a big frame. And I know there are Bills fans

848
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: that say, well, hold on a second, what do you

849
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: mean he wouldn't start. We drafted Trudavious White back in

850
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen and he started from day one. Yeah, he

851
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: did on a roster that wasn't even possessing a sixth

852
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: of the talent that the roster has now. And I'll

853
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: give you a perfect example, okay, Back in nineteen ninety nine,

854
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: the Bills, who were a playoff team, drafted Antoine Winfield

855
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty sixth in round one. He came in as a

856
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: rookie and did not start. He did not start. He

857
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: played some nickel and at that time, nickel defense was

858
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: your third down defense. It wasn't your every down defense

859
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: like it is here in Buffalo. And then he started

860
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: later in the year and he became the nickel and

861
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: then the next year he was a starter because it

862
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: was a loaded roster, and that's what you have here.

863
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: So whoever the first round pick is for the Bills,

864
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: if he doesn't start right away, don't don't be like, hey,

865
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: how come he's not starting. He's a first round pick.

866
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: This roster's loaded. Yeah, it's gonna be hard to crack

867
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: a starting line up here, even for a first round pick.

868
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: We'd noticed it when I was, you know, back in

869
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: the late ayes, early nineties, when we started to hit

870
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: that roster that went to the Super Bowl a bunch

871
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: of times. You know, it was we had some really

872
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: good players walking, Like Bucky Brooks walked in there, you know,

873
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: and he and I couldn't get on the field. The

874
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: guys couldn't get on the field. Um, And a little

875
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: bit of that was the way Marv liked to construct

876
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: his roster. I mean, because they cut better wide receivers

877
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: than me, but because I was gonna be the fifth guy.

878
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: The only played three, so you'd have to have it

879
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: like a bus wreck on the way to the stadium

880
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: for the fifth guy to get on the field. So

881
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: you needed a guy to could cover kicks, and I

882
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: was the guy. Um. It was a hard roster to make,

883
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: and there was. There's some roster decisions like that to

884
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: go into it as well, although they're not as stark

885
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: as they were then now because you've got a twelve

886
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: person practice squad and you got a fifty three man

887
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: roster with forty seven on game this, you've got, you know,

888
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: sixty five guys. Sou By not being on the fifty

889
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: three doesn't automatically means you have to you know, you're

890
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: on the street. They can hang on to you if

891
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: you're that good. But man, oh man, the Bills are

892
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: sitting there. They're they're one of the They got an

893
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: elite roster, there's no question about it. They're they're good everywhere,

894
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: even even with the fact that they lost Levi Wallace

895
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: with still in good share. Think about it. Levi Wallace

896
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: went to the number one corner. Dane Jackson came in.

897
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: They were the number and that was a thanksgiving. They

898
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: maintained their number one ranking throughout the regular season, including

899
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: against the pass. So with Trdavius, now virtually what you're doing,

900
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: you're taking that defense. You're trading Levi Wallace out and

901
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: putting Tredevius. Why on So you're you're gonna you would

902
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get better. And you have Von Miller

903
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: rushing the path. Miller I keep forgetting bon Miller, I

904
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: keep forgetting Bond. Miller's on our team. We forgot that

905
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: we have to break. So we got to do that

906
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: now and be back with more, including your comments at

907
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: eight O three five fifty. The Bills will have a

908
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: successful twenty twenty two NFL draft. If fill in the

909
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: blank for us, we're back in them and here on

910
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:38,680

Speaker 1: plowed through like four blowed. You were in five minutes.

920
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: They were gone. You had it in fifth year. Rather,

921
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: I grew up. I grew up with the old school

922
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: names on all the boxes. They've changed a lot of

923
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: the names, so you know exactly what you're getting. Like

924
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: they call them shortbread cookies now, those were called trefoils

925
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. That was the name on

926
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: the box, Trefoils, which was just a little shortbread cookie,

927
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: nothing fan, but they just called Now they just call

928
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: them shortbread cookies. Right. The samoas where the vanilla cookies

929
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: covered with caramel, rolled in toasted coconut and striped with

930
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: a rich chocolate coating. That's what those caramel delights are.

931
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,439
Speaker 1: Those used to be called the Samoa's. Yeah it finn

932
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: Mint's had the same name. Right then the other one

933
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: that you had, peanut butter patties, right, those were called

934
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: tag alongs. Oh and so I I'm looking at these boxes,

935
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, which one is that? Because I got

936
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: it seared in my brain from all the girls I

937
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: went to school within grade school bringing these to the house.

938
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: And then they had they the docy dose. Those were

939
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: basically the peanut butter sandwiches. It was peanut butter cookies

940
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: with peanut butter, which cream in the middle, right, which

941
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: ones were the white cream in between? Two like butter

942
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: cookies though I don't have that, just like. And then

943
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: they had the Savannah Smiles crisp zesty lemon cookies with

944
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: powdered sugar on top. Well, they didn't see those. I

945
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: didn't see those. About Jeff's holding out on us, he

946
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: kept those in home. I think this was this was

947
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: all a marketing ploy on the part of uh Jeff's daughter,

948
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: because we'll only bring in three kinds and then they'll

949
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: be craving the ones that they didn't get, and sure enough,

950
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: here we are. I didn't even know they were selling them.

951
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: Usually it's a season right where they sell them in

952
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: a seat or can he just buy all the time.

953
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, go online, I guess, But anyway, delicious. Oh,

954
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, tremendous. It's a it's a fantastic service that

955
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: the Girl Scouts give to our country. I mean, I

956
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: know they do a lot of other good public works,

957
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: but selling these might be their best act going. They

958
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: would probably disagree, but I'm sure as far as my

959
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: palette goes, that's where that's where it ranks on my list.

960
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they do other Oh they do a

961
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: ton of other things. But providing us with these fine

962
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: baked goods yea top of the list for me. They

963
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: I hope there's just one or two more when I

964
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: get back out there after this. Well conveniently, Steve, we're

965
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna take a break here, but when we come back

966
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 1: our number two with a show which is going to

967
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 1: be filled with your phone calls and your tweets as

968
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: we are asking you today what the Bills will have

969
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: a successful twenty twenty two NFL draft if you got

970
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: to fill in the blank for us, so let us

971
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: know what your preferences are for the Bills and what

972
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: you want them to come out of this draft with.

973
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: We'll get to your answers next here on one Bills

974
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: Live Present a collid to Health it's Buffalo Bill's radio

975
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: at a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

976
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

977
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: player for you state Stave a blimp. We're not even

978
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: in the strato bere of normalcy. All right, here we

979
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: are our number two on a Tuesday, the Tuesday before

980
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. As the stage is already set in

981
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, the floating stage that they're gonna have in

982
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: the Bellaggio Fountain, everybody's kind of they're gonna be shooting

983
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: off those water jets when somebody gets announced, right, I mean,

984
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: the little flotilla is gonna come by. Maybe they said

985
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have the draft pick come across on

986
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: a boat. Yeah. I think that's an enormous mistake, because

987
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: it's boring enough watching him walk through some rat maze

988
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: of lit hallways. It's like, remember, I mean Evan Rude

989
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: seventy five horsepower to get him there and get that

990
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: thing up on plane. Yeah, I mean remember like mac Jones,

991
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean he was slow running. He was slower when

992
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 1: he was walking to the He looked like he was moving,

993
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: but it took him forever to walk up there. And

994
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't need that. Have the guy

995
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: called his name wrapped the boat very much? Somebody figured

996
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: that out. Cooler heads prevailed to the voice of reason

997
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: rang through. But think about it. They got this big

998
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: room and all of a sudden, the room is two

999
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: hundred yards from the stage. Yeah, what are you doing?

1000
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: And they got they got some poor slip with a

1001
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: sixty five pound hand killed camera backing up two hundred

1002
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: yards trying to stay ahead of him and on someone

1003
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: or along the way or Buffalo's own Dave Iikinger hands

1004
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: him a new era cap. He puts that on his

1005
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: way there, so he puts that on, keeps walking, keeps walking,

1006
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: makes a turn, okay, keeps walking, keeps walking. Okay, now

1007
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: there is there's the crowd. Okay, now we're keeps walking.

1008
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: Keep it. Finally he reaches the comm Come on, just

1009
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: have him walk out of a door so we can

1010
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: be done with this. Ah right, I hate that production value.

1011
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: Just say the guy's name. Boom, he like drops down

1012
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: from the ceiling there. Off, go give him his jersey,

1013
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: push him off the stage, give me the next pick. Okay, man,

1014
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: this on the clovet along. Yeah, and some guy on

1015
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: Twitter to day made me laugh because if I wanted

1016
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: to see thirty two picks in three hours, I just

1017
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: watched Jameis Winston play That's pretty good. That's a good one.

1018
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: I also saw on Twitter after the list was publicized,

1019
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,760
Speaker 1: of the twenty some odd prospects that are actually attending

1020
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: the Draft, I ain't got a big mistake to go

1021
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: there this year. There are about four or five maybe

1022
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: their day, they still be in there on Friday. Yeah, yeah,

1023
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 1: think about that. I don't want to be one of

1024
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: those guys. And I get it. To listen, I'd be

1025
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: doing the Joe Thomas thing. I'd be on a boat

1026
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: fishing somewhere. Right. So here's the thing. If and I

1027
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: get it, these guys, somebody's pumping sunshine up their skirt.

1028
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: I get there saying yeah yeah. And here's largely a

1029
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: driven but think about a brownie. You're a young twin.

1030
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: You want to be there. Yeah, you want to be

1031
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: one of those guys. Moment you want to give it

1032
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: to your mom and your dad and your family and

1033
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: your buddies at school. You want to. You want to

1034
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 1: be there and be the guy that hugs Roger good day.

1035
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: You want to. He's want to be that. Yeah, it's

1036
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: such an and you can't do it if you say

1037
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna I'm you know what

1038
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: it's it's worth than listen. I'm gonna take the chance.

1039
00:52:58,600 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: I want to see it. I want to see if

1040
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: I can do that. You know. So they kind of

1041
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: believe all that stuff. That's you know, somebody's talking it

1042
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: doesn't know. I get it. But man, oh man, you

1043
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: don't want to be a guy still sitting in there.

1044
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: That's especially when you're the last guy. I remember Aaron

1045
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: Rodgers waited a long time sitting there. Who was the

1046
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: guy that went to day two now that I'm trying

1047
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: to think of. He went through the entire first round

1048
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: and he went in the second round. I'll have to

1049
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:32,959
Speaker 1: look it up. I'll find it when I get a chance.

1050
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we go to the tweet sheet where

1051
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: we get your answers on the fill in the blank

1052
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: the Bills will have a successful twenty twenty two NFL

1053
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: draft fill in the blank. After that, Brad leads us

1054
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: off and tweech. He brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1055
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Brad

1056
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: says delete the blank line, which basically means the Bills

1057
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: will have a successful twenty twenty two FELL draft. He's

1058
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: just as clever as Brandon meanness very well, Okay, so

1059
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: he's resolutely confident. Yeah, and I think the Bills will

1060
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: draft successful. Yeah, there's enough of a track record here

1061
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: with with being the fun is getting there too. If

1062
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: you guess the exact guy that Brandon Bean's gonna pick,

1063
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: can't you make the claim you're just as smart as

1064
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: he is. Well, every blind squirrel, squirrel finds an acorn

1065
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: every once in a while. I mean, that's you don't have.

1066
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: That's what fans want. We haven't invested the time, the travel,

1067
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't done any of that. It's blind.

1068
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: We're throwing darts. We're all throwing darts. Set for the

1069
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: guys that actually do the work. But still that's what

1070
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to do. They want to be the guy

1071
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: that's thinking along the lines. Yeah, I get it. I

1072
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: get it. From Bill's mailman. He says the Bills will

1073
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: have a successful twenty twenty two NFL draft if they

1074
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: just keep drafting the way they've done in the past,

1075
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: the recent past. Yes, I would concur with that sentiment.

1076
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing, Steve, isn't it how people questioning this front

1077
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: office is just kind of melted away with each passing here. Yeah, right, Like,

1078
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: think about that for a second. I think ed Oliver

1079
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 1: was the last time we heard anybody with a dissenting

1080
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: opinion on a Bill's draft pick. Think about this. Last

1081
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: year the Bills drafted two pass rushers and two offensive

1082
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: tackles with their first four picks, and the complaints on

1083
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: our show were minimal, minimal. Think about that. Yeah, and

1084
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: for good reason, in being they trust. Well, here's the thing, like,

1085
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: all the way back to twenty seventeen, you got Milano Dawkins,

1086
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: Tradavious White, and Zay Jones, and then of course you

1087
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: had that was before Bean was on board. That was

1088
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: like Nathan Peterman and Tanner Vallejo at the bottom of

1089
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: the draft. The next year they've got Josh Tremaine, Josh Tremaine,

1090
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: Harrison arren Sran that was a good Wyatt teller and

1091
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: Ray Ray McLeod and Austin Pearle got got released. That's

1092
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: the only guy that's still not in the league. Austin

1093
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: pearl Yeah, that's it. That's in twenty eighteen. If four

1094
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: years ago, all right, twenty nineteen you got ed Ed Oliver,

1095
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Devin Singletary, Dawson Knox, was Shan Joseph, Jaquan Johnson,

1096
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson who got trade, who played for the Bill,

1097
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: and then Tommy Sweeney. Everybody's in the league there except

1098
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: for Vishwan Joseph, that's right. And then of course last

1099
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: or two years ago, Aja Panessa, Zach Moss, Gabriel Davis,

1100
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: Jake From, Tyler Bass, Isaiah Hodgins, Dane Jackson. They got

1101
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: some guys there, pretty good day three picks huh, Tyler Bass,

1102
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgens, Dane Jackson. Not that's not bad, okay. Then

1103
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: last year, of course Greg Russou, Boogie Basham, Spencer Brown,

1104
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: Tommy Doyle. The top three except well two of the

1105
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: top three started. We're starters at the end of the year,

1106
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,879
Speaker 1: Mark Quest, Stevenson came on at the end of the year,

1107
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Hamlin, Rashod Wild Goose and Jack Anderson. Those two

1108
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: of the guys got poached. Yeah, yeah, So practice, there's

1109
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 1: a lot in there to be happy about. And here's

1110
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: the thing, when you get down to the fourth, fifth,

1111
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: sixth round or fifth, sixth, seventh rounds. I mean every

1112
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: team looks like that. You get the occasional guys like wow,

1113
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: look what they who they found down there? But yeah,

1114
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: but Steve, I'm telling you, in years past, anything after

1115
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: the fourth round, I mean, the Bills more often than

1116
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: not didn't even get a guy the last late round

1117
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: pick that I can recall, you know, from the drought

1118
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: years that did anything. Stevie Johnson seventh round pick, and

1119
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: now you've got Jackson down there, Isaiah Hodgens still hanging

1120
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: around trying to get on the field. Um, and that

1121
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: was two thousand and eight. Tommy Sweeney's still on this

1122
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: club from the two thousand nineteen drafted the seventh rounder,

1123
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: last guy they picked two twenty eight overall, so it

1124
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: was they got. Yeah, there's a lot to be said

1125
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: for this Twitter run, this twitter question. We've asked the

1126
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: Bills will have a successful draft if and it's like,

1127
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: just listen to Brandon. If they listen to Brandon, Yeah,

1128
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, so, going back to the tweet sheet, the

1129
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: Bills will have a successful twenty twenty two NFL Draft

1130
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: because of Brandon Bean, says dal Reid. Yeah, a lot

1131
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: of bean love and why not. Um, yeah, I'm he's

1132
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: he's earned it. He's earned it, and he did it

1133
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 1: quick too well, hitting on and I get this too.

1134
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what the balance he strikes. We asked

1135
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: him about traits and about scheme fit and all that. Well,

1136
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: the reason it's tough to predict is because he's done

1137
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: both in the first round. If you think about it, because,

1138
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: as we were saying yesterday, Greg Rousseau elite physical traits,

1139
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmond's elite physical traits, Josh Allen elite physical traits,

1140
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: Dredavious White scheme fit technician right like polished technician at

1141
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: Oliver undersized, not elite physical traits from a size, height

1142
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: and weight standpoint at all. So he has gone the

1143
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: other way before at the top of his draft, and

1144
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,959
Speaker 1: I think that leaves an air of unpredictability here, which

1145
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: is why I thought your question was a good one.

1146
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to get to get a definitive answer,

1147
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: but I gave you credit for asking it. And that

1148
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: was some of the debate we were posing yesterday during

1149
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: What's for Lunch When we said, hey, cornerback values there

1150
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: they got to choose between Andrew Booth and Kayer Elam

1151
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: is the physical freak and Booth is the scheme fit

1152
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: eight ways to Sunday. He fits everything they do defensively,

1153
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: Which way do you go? And it's gonna be if

1154
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: those two guys are on the board and there isn't

1155
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: value at receiver's gonna be very compelling to see where

1156
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: they land with that. Yeah, and I know this too.

1157
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: After after they make these picks with these guys between

1158
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: two both guys are on the board, you find out

1159
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: too that the guy we thought was was not on

1160
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: their you know what I mean, for some reason they did. Yeah,

1161
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: that could very well be, could very well be. There

1162
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: might be some kind of medical that we don't know about. Yeah,

1163
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: there could be some character background whatever about whatever it is.

1164
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: They're down on the guy. They're not equal, you know

1165
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, people are that Georgia wide

1166
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: receiver George Pickens, A lot of people are high on him.

1167
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: He has an injury history, that's number one. Number two.

1168
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: He also got thrown out of a game because he

1169
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: was fighting somebody on the field, So people are like, oh,

1170
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: what's that about. So that's all I mean, that's all

1171
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: been vetted, but we don't know where all these teams

1172
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: have come down on it. Yeah, you said that Pickens

1173
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: kid who came back from the ACL and played in

1174
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: their final game at four games, final four games, he

1175
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: was just an outstanding player. Um and you you heard that.

1176
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,959
Speaker 1: You know somebody told you that guy is a dog.

1177
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah he is. He is a guy who can really go. Uh.

1178
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: He's got a proattitude and a lot of confidence in

1179
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Before he got hurt, he had

1180
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: eighty two catches for twelve hundred and forty yards and

1181
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns as a sophomore. Yeah, so that's that's a

1182
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: guy produced. Yeah, but there's an injury history there. There's

1183
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: an injury history there, and there is um and when

1184
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: you're is he a dog or is he a rabid dog?

1185
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 1: Like did he get in the fight and get thrown

1186
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: out of the game because he can't control his emotions?

1187
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Or is it a guy that is just so intense

1188
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: and you want the guy more often than not? I

1189
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: would say Steve NFL coaches would prefer to have a

1190
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: guy they got to pull the reins in on then

1191
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: kick in the butt right every week. Well, yeah, that's

1192
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean something. Here's from a disposition standpoint,

1193
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: when they they always give you this this cop out

1194
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: thing where a guy is out of control, emotional as

1195
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: he's well, he's passionate, you know. Yeah, you don't buy it.

1196
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: It's undisciplined and it's it's idiotic when you let your

1197
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: emotions get the best of you. These guys, most of

1198
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: these guys have played one hundred games, and at some point,

1199
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: you're always going to be disappointed, You're always gonna be embarrassed.

1200
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 1: You always gonna make a big mistake or a Catastrophean said,

1201
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: you always gonna do something like that at some point

1202
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: in your career. If you never learn how to handle that,

1203
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: it's a problem, because the NFL will do nothing if

1204
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: not humble you quick And if you can't take that,

1205
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: if you if you lash out, if your frustration get

1206
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: you penalties or get you a fight or whatever, it's

1207
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: a problem. It's a problem. And particularly when you get

1208
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: into your twenties, if you haven't learned that yet, you

1209
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: weren't playing at the high enough level. I don't think so.

1210
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: But people are gonna and this is where Brandon was

1211
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: explaining to us in the first hour, which I completely understood.

1212
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Just because the Bills may or may not, whatever the

1213
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: number is, have twenty two players with first round grades

1214
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns have twenty two players with first

1215
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: round grades, it's not the same twenty two players. Like

1216
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: twelve guys that's certainly possible, right, So now it's not

1217
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: the same twenty two players. It could be upwards of

1218
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: forty players right between the two teams, And now you

1219
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: expand that out to thirty two teams, you could be

1220
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: talking about fifty six fifty sixty some odd players that

1221
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: are graded with first round grades for some teams and

1222
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: not for others. So they say, oh, how do you

1223
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: have enough people to fill the first round? You're always

1224
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna have enough people to fill the first round because

1225
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: everybody's grads are different, because they're not asking the primary

1226
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: question for every team in the draft is not can

1227
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: this guy play in the NFL? For up, can this

1228
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: guy play in the NFL? Does this guy fit the

1229
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: Bills and what we do and what we look for

1230
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: in a player, And some of the time the answer

1231
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: is going to be no, but it might be yes

1232
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: for another team yeah, or the fact that and it's

1233
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: a it's a huge gray area that we're trying to

1234
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: describe here, and it's it's pretty obvious, you know. What

1235
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: we're trying to do is, yeah, this guy's got like

1236
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: this guy pickings, we were just talking about huge upside.

1237
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: But he's got an injury history? Is he not? Not

1238
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: that he's not tough, but he's fragile. What do our

1239
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: doctors say about his what do they say about him?

1240
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: And what do they say about the fact that he's

1241
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: a in a fight and all that? How does how

1242
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: do the rehab go with his injury? Was he into

1243
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: it or was he just kind of waiting around soon?

1244
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: Did it take longer than expected? That's exactly right and

1245
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: all the great Now, also, how smart is the guy?

1246
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Did he did they just give him like three routes

1247
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: because that's all he can handle? Or was he one

1248
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: of those guys that's to study film junkie, he's all

1249
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: about it. All that stuff goes into the mix. Now,

1250
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff that is you can't see on the

1251
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: football field gets weighed against another guy over here who

1252
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,439
Speaker 1: is a little smaller but fast during quicker plays out

1253
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: of the slot, more does all this and and he

1254
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: is a junkie. He isn't you know, he's got some

1255
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: of the same stuff. Plus, you know he's a five

1256
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: beta Kappa, gets straight a's. You know, he's a military kid. Captain,

1257
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: he's up at five am every morning. That kind of guy, right,

1258
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: his team captain for four straight. Those are the kind

1259
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: of things you weigh the intangibles. Is this guy gonna

1260
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: get a when he signs a contract, he's gonna get

1261
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 1: a firelit under him? Or is he gonna take it

1262
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: out of gear? Has he accomplished his goal or has

1263
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: he just been motivated by it? So that's the kind

1264
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: of thing that you're looking at. So you've got two

1265
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: guys playing the same spot, and those are the things

1266
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: you have to weigh and and you have to have

1267
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: gone out and tried to find out about that stuff. Yeah,

1268
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 1: it's a it's an enormous It's an enormous project. Noah

1269
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says the Buffalo Bills will have

1270
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: a successful twenty twenty two NFL Draft if in the

1271
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: first four round we have drafted a dB wide receiver

1272
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: and interior offensive lineman. The extra pick could be a

1273
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: linebacker or a running back. I go along with that. Yeah,

1274
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,919
Speaker 1: that dB wide receiver, interior offensive line after the first

1275
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: two days, I'd be pretty sure. But I'll say this too,

1276
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: that we would all be happy about it if if

1277
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: they're all gout, you know, and I'm not saying all

1278
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: of us would know. All four of those guys that

1279
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: we're talking about, who knows, but it almost seems too

1280
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: perfect for all of us out here, which means it's

1281
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: probably not going to happen the way we think because

1282
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: something some value is going to get out of whack

1283
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to take like two corners and

1284
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: one wide receiver and a linebacker and not get an

1285
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: interior offensive line. You know what I mean. It's I

1286
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: see what you're saying that the order is important. There

1287
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: is going to be dB wide receiver then then an

1288
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: interior offensive lineman, or is it going to be an

1289
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: interior offensive lineman then a dB then a wide receiver.

1290
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: And what we hear about these guys and what we

1291
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: can find out about him as players after the pick,

1292
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: we'll tell us a lot about how happy we're gonna be. Yeah,

1293
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: there are some interesting guard candidates in the pool, Like

1294
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: for the first two days, guys that played like right

1295
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,919
Speaker 1: tackle right but project to guard. There's some big old

1296
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: hosses in this there's some dude in this class, and

1297
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: twenty five you're gonna get a guy. Well, I'm hoping

1298
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: they don't take a guard at twenty five. I prefer

1299
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: they get a premium position player there. I think you're right.

1300
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: I think it's Yeah, it's one of the money positions.

1301
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 1: It's one of those those things we talked about. It's

1302
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: but we talked about Ken Young Green from Texas A

1303
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: and m one of the nastiest blockers in the whole

1304
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Classon Johnson, Zion Johnson. Those guys are probably first rounders.

1305
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: But then you got the kid from Georgia, Jamari Salyer,

1306
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: played both tackle and guard spots at UGA. Excuse me,

1307
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: man left tackle last year. It's got thirty three five

1308
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: eighths inch arms, ten inch hands. And then there's this

1309
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:11,439
Speaker 1: kid from Kentucky played right tackle, Darian Kannard thirty five

1310
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: inch arms, steve eleven and a quarter inch hands, massive

1311
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: frame like thick throughout. You know, one of those guys, yep,

1312
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: I liked him. He looked pretty good. So there's gonna

1313
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: be some guys. There will be some guys. Even this

1314
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: UCLA kid, Sean Ryan six to four and a half

1315
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: three twenty one, doesn't have a lot of great measurables

1316
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: outside of eleven and eighth inch hands. Played three years

1317
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: at left tackle, but people think his best position is

1318
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 1: inside a guard because he does have a little bit

1319
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 1: shorter arms. But this kid's footwork, his slide and redirect

1320
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:57,440
Speaker 1: he can pull. I'm wondering, Steve, what the guard criteria

1321
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: is from Aaron Cromer, because with a new offensive line coach,

1322
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: maybe some tweaks to the scheme. You know, does does

1323
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: the criteria for what you're looking for in a guard change?

1324
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, obviously that's been communicated to the personnel department,

1325
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: so they know what they should be looking for, right

1326
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 1: But do they want mobile guys or do they want

1327
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: road graders that are just going to plow things straight ahead?

1328
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: That's going to be the interesting question. And if they

1329
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: do draft a guard, that could give us a peek

1330
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: into the kind of player they want to fill this

1331
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 1: roster out with to fit the scheme and the blocking tech.

1332
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, I'm pretty sure too that Aaron

1333
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 1: Cromer probably had a voice in signing Bates back. And

1334
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, all these guys get yeah, Bates is good

1335
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy. So that might give you a

1336
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: tip as to you know, the fact that they match

1337
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: that offer sheet. Um, it will be interesting it this

1338
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: offensive line. I think they have invested in it, and

1339
01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: I think they're going to continue to I think that's

1340
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: where it all starts. And I think they realized that

1341
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: the fact that the way they drafted last year screams that.

1342
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that's an exaggeration or whether

1343
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: it you know, Truda was just a little bit of

1344
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: a quirk where they took two two edge rushers and

1345
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: then two offensive lineman, two tackles in the same draft

1346
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: on the in the first four picks. Um. I and

1347
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: they a year before that they did the same thing,

1348
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: and year before that they did the same thing. Yeah,

1349
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: that's that says a lot about where they believe their

1350
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: importance is it's the big guys up front. I'm both

1351
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: are going to stop investing in both. It's a smart

1352
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: way to go. There are those are the guys that

1353
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: are hard to find, and being and McDermot are in

1354
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: lockstep on that philosophy. Those are guys. Those are guys,

1355
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: those genetic guys like the Jordan davis Is of this draft.

1356
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: You know the guys that are six six, three hundred

1357
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:50,440
Speaker 1: and forty pounds. This Evan Neil, this offensive tackle from Alabama.

1358
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: The guy he's three hundred and thirty pounds and he

1359
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 1: jumps up on a forty eight inch platform and does

1360
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: the splits and forward and behind. I mean, that's that

1361
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: was a good Are you joking or where do they

1362
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: find these guys? And I'll say this too. I saw

1363
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: it today. Some of the guys in Evan Neil's camp

1364
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 1: are dropping some tape against him against Georgia playing left tackle.

1365
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: Nobody got a whiff of that quarterback. All those guys

1366
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: at Georgia took turns and they had no shot getting

1367
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: around Evan Neil. That guy's gonna make a lot of

1368
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: money and play for a long time. So I'm telling you,

1369
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: I think it could be as many as seven out

1370
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: of the first ten picks are gonna be offensive tackles

1371
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: and pass rushers. Maybe you get one receiver in there.

1372
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think there could be some corps. I

1373
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: think one receiver, one corner, and maybe a quarterback. They're

1374
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna be yes, they'll be think about that. There's not

1375
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a linebacker taken there's not gonna be a

1376
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: safety taken. They'll be corners, edge rushers, and tackles, maybe

1377
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: maybe one wide out, maybe one quarterback. Right, that's exactly right,

1378
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: that's exactly you can have. It's corners, left, tackles, edge rushers,

1379
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: and then sprinkle in whoever you want, and seven out

1380
01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: of ten are probably gonna be edgdrushers in tac Put

1381
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: that on the whiteboard. Okay, we'll do that. Back to

1382
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. The Bills will have a successful twenty

1383
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: twenty two NFL draft if they find a starting CB two,

1384
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: says Chris, whether that's due to trading upstanding Pat or

1385
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: a free agent signing Joe Hayden for example, I'll say,

1386
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm they may have a starting CB two on their

1387
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 1: roster already and Jane Jackson. But yeah, it's like Brandon

1388
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: said here last hour, we welcome bringing in competent petition

1389
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: in any position. If not to start, does what he said,

1390
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: if not to start, to raise the play of the

1391
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: guy who is starting, that's right, I mean it's not.

1392
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, when you got to really hump it to

1393
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: keep your job, everybody gets better. Everybody gets better. And

1394
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 1: you know, I just I'll do it again. I did

1395
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 1: this the other day and I'll do it again. It's

1396
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:07,759
Speaker 1: Elijah Griffin, Tim Harris, Dane Jackson, Tarn Johnson, Cam Lewis,

1397
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: Nick McLeod serand Neil Tredavious White. So they've got those.

1398
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: All those guys are playing corner form. Now they're not.

1399
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 1: Those guys have never played in a regular season NFL game, right,

1400
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not household names. But Tarn Johnson and

1401
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Tredavious White are pretty good starts. And Dane Jackson, who

1402
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: finished up last year your top three, you're pretty good.

1403
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: You gotta feel pretty good about those guys. It's gonna

1404
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: it's but you're gonna have to bring some something to

1405
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: the table to get on the field. More and more

1406
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: teams are gravitating towards eleven personnel, pass catching tight ends.

1407
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Just having a good top three isn't enough anymore. You're

1408
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna yeah, because somebody's gonna go get a you know,

1409
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 1: tweaking ankle or something to come come on. Teams go

1410
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: four wide, and I don't think we're to the point yet.

1411
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna go back and say, okay, we're gonna go

1412
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: run and shoot, we're gonna go four wide, one back,

1413
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: let's go kind of kind of thing, and the running

1414
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 1: back splits out. I don't think team will do that.

1415
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 1: Maybe once, Yeah, maybe a handful of snow. I don't know.

1416
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody does it as you change up. But we're

1417
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: not there yet. But man, oh man, we're getting close. Yeah.

1418
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: Jack on the tweet sheet is thinking right along the

1419
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 1: lines with us here, Steve. The Bills will have a

1420
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: successful twenty twenty two NFL draft if they get an

1421
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: impact wide receiver or corner to pick twenty five and

1422
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: then on day two find the other and a running

1423
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: back or interior offensive lineman who can take over and

1424
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: start defensive offensively or eventually running back or an interior

1425
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: offensive line who eventually starts. Yeah. I mean that is

1426
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: right up the alley. That's right where I'm thinking. Jack

1427
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: is on the same wavelength you were. They're gonna get. Yeah.

1428
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: I think it's impossible to think the Bills don't come

1429
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 1: out of this draft with a wide out and a

1430
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: corner maybe two of one. Well, I mean the value

1431
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: of the two one one or the other one or

1432
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: the other two of the other. The value of the

1433
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: board is the only thing that prevents that, right, right,

1434
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: But I'm with you values right though it should happen,

1435
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: and I didn't makes sense because everybody who's tweeting at

1436
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: us has been listening to our show, and we've been

1437
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: we've been pounding this drum for months now since they

1438
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: came out a free agency without one of those major

1439
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: free agent corners signing. You gotta think that's priority one.

1440
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: But I think I think two. The one the guys

1441
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: I just read there, I think they don't have a

1442
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: problem with Dan Jackson taking over and coming into the

1443
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: season with him, certainly anyway, either way you slice it,

1444
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson's gonna be a guy who's gonna probably be

1445
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: out there and repping I mean, one of your top

1446
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: three on the outside, he's gonna be He's gonna be

1447
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: repping number one at training camp, Minicamp, and whoever this

1448
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: guy is. If they do pick a corner at twenty five,

1449
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna start with him being CB three, Yeah, or

1450
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: four four if you can't tear yeah. All right, So

1451
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. We gotta take a break here. When we

1452
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: come back, we'll finish up your thoughts on the tweet

1453
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: sheet and maybe a little NFL true false. We'll get

1454
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 1: to that when we return here on One Bills Live,

1455
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1456
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,679
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Casker

1457
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: with you. As you heard on our air, GM Brandon

1458
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: being broke the news live that the Bills had picked

1459
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: up the fifth year option on Ed Oliver. He is now,

1460
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,799
Speaker 1: let me count these up. He is only the fourth

1461
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 1: player in the twenty nineteen draft first round to have

1462
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: his fifth year option exercise. How about that? I didn't

1463
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 1: joining Nick Bosa, Quinnin Williams who just did it earlier

1464
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: today as well, and Noah Fant Tighthawks exercised it after

1465
01:16:58,040 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the trade. He was part of the Russell Wilson trade.

1466
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: He came from Denver. Right, So those are the four

1467
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 1: players so far in the first round. Off to be

1468
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: fair that I've had their fifth year options exercise. Brandon

1469
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: was on our show early in the offseason. He says,

1470
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: probably gonna happen. Yeah, it was a formality. I think.

1471
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fans knew it, and you know

1472
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: it's it's like okay, but now it's officials. So that's

1473
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 1: so good. For Ed he gets and the last year

1474
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:25,759
Speaker 1: of his contract is guaranteed because of this, right unless

1475
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: they do an extension, which you know probably gonna happen too.

1476
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 1: So um, good stuff. Congratulations to Ed Oliver. He has

1477
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: emerged as a high motor guy. And I think how

1478
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: young the Bill's defense is for being a number one defense.

1479
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: Brownie's pretty young, Ed, Greg Russo, Boogie Basham, Tremaine Edmonds

1480
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: is still young. He's like younger than Ed almost right,

1481
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham is older than Tremaine, right, think about that,

1482
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 1: So they're really young. Really one of the older guys

1483
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: on the team. Of course the safety's Hide and Poyer

1484
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: are older guys, but think how think how young the

1485
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: team is. Milano's one of the old guys. Yeah. Ed

1486
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: Oliver incidentally tweeted shortly after the news broke here on

1487
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: One Bills Live about his fifty year option. Ed tweets

1488
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: got that monkey off my back, feel like I can

1489
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 1: just go play now. So that's good, so good, good news.

1490
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Here at One Bill's Drive today. Concerning at Oliver's future,

1491
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: He's tied up for this year and for next year,

1492
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: and we'll see where it goes. You know, the CAP's

1493
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna go up considerably, So who knows, maybe they tear

1494
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 1: up year five and do a full blown extension come

1495
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: this time next year. Who knows. But you've locked in,

1496
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, his services, and you forget you know, it's

1497
01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: it's a you know, we're the thing about the Bills

1498
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: have been so good, and I know a lot of people,

1499
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans didn't get a chance to see.

1500
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: And it's really a tragic part of what the pandemic

1501
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: was all about. I did the games on radio because

1502
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: Eric Wood couldn't come Eric in a regular guy. Eric

1503
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: couldn't get up here. Wood couldn't get up here to

1504
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: do the games because of logistics of COVID and all

1505
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So I got a chance to do

1506
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: this team in twenty twenty, and Ed was, you know,

1507
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: part of that crew that the step up that that

1508
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: team took from two nineteen to twenty twenty, in large

1509
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: part to Josh Allen, but all over the field was unbelieved.

1510
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: It was astonishing we did they did in front of

1511
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 1: an empty stadium at home until the playoffs. It was unbelievable.

1512
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: The transformation that happened, and that and the kind of

1513
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 1: critical mass that the roster got to to where all

1514
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, everybody got elevated. You know, you had

1515
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 1: the right guy, you know, the quarterback, hit, the d line,

1516
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: hit you know, the the offensive line or the defense.

1517
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: You know, they took a step back from eighteen when

1518
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: they were like number one or two or three, and

1519
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: they were like, you know, just good. The whole team

1520
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: took a huge step forward, and I remember Ed being

1521
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 1: a part of it. And you see going back to

1522
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: last year when Ed really took a step forward. See

1523
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: the highlights, and it's hard to remember all of them.

1524
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: He's been I think Ed Oliver as much as any Dragon,

1525
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: well Josh is the headliner, but as much as any

1526
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: guy the other than Josh. You know, he's been kind

1527
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 1: of that guy who who showed up and all the

1528
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: team was good right away. You know, Josh, we had it.

1529
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: We all went through the growing pains with Josh and Tremaine.

1530
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: Edmond's kind of the same thing. Trenavius White, Trey was

1531
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: good right from the get but you know, he was

1532
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 1: a cornerback and there's a lot of things going on.

1533
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, as much as anybody's been the face of

1534
01:20:56,280 --> 01:21:00,719
Speaker 1: the team when they drafted him, and it's like, Okay,

1535
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: he needs to help us, and you know he did.

1536
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: He came in and helped I was dead. Yeah, good

1537
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: for him. He's going to be around for a while.

1538
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: Panthers around for a while. There is more news on

1539
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: the fifth year option front Panthers. GM Scott Fitterer says

1540
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:18,599
Speaker 1: they have exercised the fifth year option on pass rusher

1541
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: Brian Burns, so he is now the fifth player who

1542
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: got his fifth year option exercised from the twenty nineteen draft.

1543
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: Here's another tidbit. GM Scott Fitterer of the Panthers also

1544
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: said there are quote a couple of quarterbacks he would

1545
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: feel comfortable taking at number six. They hold the sixth pick, obviously.

1546
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 1: He also noted there are three to four teams he's

1547
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: heard from that are serious about trading up to six.

1548
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: Panthers would love to get more picks and trade back

1549
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: if there must have. Prospects are off the board, So

1550
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: Carolina could be a mover and shaker at six. Yeah,

1551
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:57,640
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see who that is that

1552
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: wants to move up to six. That's gotta be Yeah,

1553
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: who wants to get up there and for what? Usually

1554
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 1: those quarterback usually yes, like, does Seattle Seattle want to

1555
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: move up from nine to six to get their number

1556
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: one guy? That's where he's saying in this economy, Yeah,

1557
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: I don't know that you need to. I mean, there's

1558
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: always the risk that somebody leap frogs you. But Minnesota's well,

1559
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota's not doing that, Washington does getting Pittsburgh does no way, Yeah,

1560
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: jumping all the whip too far? Yeah, that's twenty to

1561
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 1: whatever to six? Yeah, or maybe they get maybe if

1562
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: it does get down to like six. This is also

1563
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: the lying season. Let's not forget that. So if it

1564
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: is Seattle at nine, that's the team. If Caroline is

1565
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,839
Speaker 1: not gonna pick him. If Carolina doesn't take a quarterback,

1566
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: Seattle doesn't take a quarterback, somebody'd be calling the Jets

1567
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: right away and saying, hey, can we come up there,

1568
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, that could happen. That could happen, because then

1569
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 1: it's not outrageous. You get a guy in that top

1570
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: ten at quarterback, you're gonna get incredible, incredible pressure to

1571
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: start him right away. Even if you're the picture of

1572
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 1: Steelers with Mitch Trubisky is sitting there, they're gonna get

1573
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of pressure to play him. If you're

1574
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: a team like a Chicago Bears and want to you know,

1575
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 1: get back in there. Um, you're gonna get incredible pressure

1576
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: to play the guy. So if he drops far enough,

1577
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: or if one of those guys drops far enough, and

1578
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: I think the guy that you really have to keep

1579
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: your eye on is Malik Willis the quarterback because he's

1580
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: the one with the traits, right, He's the one that's

1581
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen of this. He's only six foot but yes,

1582
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: but he's got the big arm run and he can run.

1583
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: He's got all the stuff. He's gonna put the ball

1584
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: wherever you want it. He's got a limitation with his height,

1585
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: but that's you know, that's not a limitation. It's it's

1586
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: just a character is fact. It's a trait, right, Um,

1587
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: It's not like he used to be six six and

1588
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: now he's only six foot. So he's you know, um,

1589
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: that's the guy. I think that if it goes and

1590
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: want some of these teams like his traits, which they will,

1591
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: they'll say, like, what do you think, Brownie, if he

1592
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 1: gets past fifteen Malik Willis, Yeah, I don't think he

1593
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: gets past fifteen, all right. If he does get past fifteen.

1594
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,639
Speaker 1: That's a spot where you can take him and say, okay,

1595
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: just just hold on for a minute, you know what

1596
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, sit behind Oh you think the pressure would

1597
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: not be to start him right, The pressure is not there.

1598
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 1: When the Bills drafted ej Manuel sixteen, overall, the plan

1599
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: was for Kevin Cobb to start exactly and then he

1600
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 1: would kind of learn on the fly. And then Kevin

1601
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: Cobb got a concussion in the third preseason game, and

1602
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: it was a concussion that ended his career because it

1603
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,840
Speaker 1: was his I think fifth concussion in seven years. And

1604
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 1: didn't he Yes, he also slipped on a matt of

1605
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: training can and sprained his knee. But that wasn't where

1606
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 1: that's where we used to live, Brownie. Right there is

1607
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: where that is the city of heartbreak, Steve. I'm telling you.

1608
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,919
Speaker 1: When I was writing as the editor of Bill's Digest,

1609
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you how many training camp issue covers

1610
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: had three quarterbacks on it saying Who's it gonna be?

1611
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,759
Speaker 1: And it's a compelling question, but it's not a question.

1612
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: I want to have to tell you this here, and

1613
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad we don't have to. Let's just say that.

1614
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 1: And this is maybe a topic for another day. But

1615
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: you and I are general manager. Yeah, what is our

1616
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: what is our gestation period for a quarterback? When we

1617
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: look at him? If he doesn't grab, how long how

1618
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: long does it get before he gives? You know what

1619
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: I mean? How far do you take this guy? Like

1620
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 1: I told you yesterday, John Elway, for all those years,

1621
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: it was like he was washing through those guys like

1622
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: yesterday's socks wash rinz repeat, wash rinse repeat. Yeah, and that,

1623
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: And I'm a big proponent of that. I think I

1624
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: think it varies because if your roster is not in

1625
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: a position to support the quarterback, you're probably apt to

1626
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: give him a little more time to get more of

1627
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: the pieces around him, right, But that's on you to

1628
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: do that, do it as quickly as possible. But I

1629
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: would say, I don't know, you're a season and a half, Like, no,

1630
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: you're not wasting another half a seat, because if you

1631
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: waste a season and a half, that's what are the

1632
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins doing? That's two dolphins going on year three here? Yeah,

1633
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, the greatest right. I mean I don't know,

1634
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: like you could argue when two have got there, they

1635
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 1: didn't have everything they needed to help him. I mean,

1636
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: only now are they formulating an offensive line of any

1637
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: respectable quality. So I mean, I don't know. Listen, I

1638
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 1: get it. The guy was at a football factory, he

1639
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 1: won a national championship. He came in as a freshman,

1640
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: and Brian day Ball calls the play that gives him

1641
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: the national championship. You gotta know that's the thing too.

1642
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: You got to know what you're looking at. And I've

1643
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: heard all kinds of stories, and you know, we've heard

1644
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: all outlandish things about the way Miami Dolphins did, things

1645
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: about you know, wanting tank and paying their coach to

1646
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: tank and all that. So I doesn't doesn't strike me

1647
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: as out of the ordinary down there. But unless you're

1648
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: all on the same page and trying to pull the

1649
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: same direction, I mean, what are you looking at? If

1650
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: your quarterback is not going to have some traits that

1651
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 1: can play at the NFL level, you're always gonna be

1652
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 1: working around that. If you can't make all the throws,

1653
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You can't play the whole game right,

1654
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: And you got you're gonna draft two when you got

1655
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert sitting there, I mean, what do you I mean,

1656
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: what game do you think you're playing Are you playing

1657
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt eight times a year? And then you play the

1658
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 1: Bills and the Patriots. No, you're playing the Bills, the Patriots,

1659
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Raiders, could the Chiefs, the Ravens, the Steelers.

1660
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,439
Speaker 1: You don't get any of those Vanderbilt games or those

1661
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: Kentucky football games. You know you don't get those. You

1662
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 1: gotta play. You gotta have a guy that can sling it.

1663
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: That's why that's why they have the combine, That's why

1664
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 1: they go out and look at these guys out. Everybody

1665
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 1: gets it. We have to take a break. Steve and

1666
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 1: I with some final thoughts from your tweet sheet answers

1667
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 1: next here on one Bill's Live Stick Too. David on

1668
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says, I think it would be successful

1669
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: if we could draft San Diego States matt a rise Out.

1670
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 1: We need a punter that can make a difference when

1671
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: our offense is forced to punt, hopefully not too often.

1672
01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: David end says Bills will have a successful draft if

1673
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 1: they don't get obsessed with a need taking chances on

1674
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: a pick like running back versus accurate assessment projection, like

1675
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: their obsession with finding a Von Miller type defense effect

1676
01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,759
Speaker 1: they took Boogie Basham over offensive lineman Creed Free, especially

1677
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: after just taking Greg Rousseau and d Lineman so many

1678
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,439
Speaker 1: times prior. So that guy is not a fan of

1679
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: the doubling up when they went best player available last year. Right,

1680
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They Yeah, Creed Humphrey is a good player,

1681
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: but they had they liked Boogie better. Yeah, and proved

1682
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: it by taking him ahead after they'd just taken a

1683
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,759
Speaker 1: guy ahead of him. So yeah, same position. Final mock draft.

1684
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: Watch tomorrow when we have Dandy Glad back in some

1685
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: interesting numbers there, we'll see in what
