1 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: These One Bills Live, presented by Call Light of Health. Hey, 2 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: how's everybody doing out there? It's uh, it's getting mild 3 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: here in Western New York. Welcome to One Bill's Live. 4 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you on a Tuesday and 5 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: fake spring or I don't know if it's fake I 6 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: don't know if it's fake spring. Two. We already had 7 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: fake spring one. This could be fake spring too, Steve. 8 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: But I don't know why. I'm I'm mildly no pun 9 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: intended optimistic that this weather might be staying around, Like, 10 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're getting below freezing during the day. 11 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: Ever again, I think we might be out of those woods. No, no, 12 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: you don't want to say we're not. I could have 13 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: put us over the top by taking down the netting 14 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: that's around my landscaping at the house, you know, keep 15 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: the deer out. If I would have taken that down, 16 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: then I would have been for sure we're going to 17 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: have more winter. But I will tell you I pulled 18 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: up my driveway marker sticks for plowing. Did you pull 19 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: them out? Bold moved last week? Bold move? I wanted 20 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: to I was I was vetoed. You were vetoed. Now 21 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: I was vetoed from taking the netting down, and I 22 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: was and haven't. I didn't really think about taking the 23 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: stakes down. My wife has told me it's time to 24 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: put the rocking chairs out on the front porch. I 25 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: remember that from last year. That's that was a mistake 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: last year, certainly. And the reason why because because if 27 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: you remember, the Fateful Day was Saint Patrick's Day. Last year, 28 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: it was seventy degrees March Madness was here in Buffalo. 29 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: I was going to the games. My wife says, hey, 30 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: before you leave, put the rocking chairs out, and I 31 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: told her, you're out of your mind. We're not doing that. 32 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: She goes, oh, just put them out there. I want 33 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: to sit out there this afternoon. It's gonna be seventy degrees. Okay, 34 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: put them out there down. Five days later, I put 35 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: him back in the basement. Right now, The difference is 36 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: we're three weeks removed from that, not we're three weeks 37 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: further in to spring. Two weeks. It'll be three weeks. 38 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, No, you're not there yet. 39 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm sorry. It's gonna be seventy one here tomorrow. 40 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be greater rain, but it's gonna be great. 41 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: But you know, we're just not there. I'm not there yet. Okay, 42 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm not there. I'll check back in with you next week. 43 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: We'll stand. Really. I do like the fact. One of 44 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: the things I like about Western New York is the 45 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: fact that you get four seasons hard summer, beautiful, elite fall, 46 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: recreational type winter with the skiing, snowmobile ring, all that 47 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: stuff and all that and for me winter camping of course, 48 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: and then the spring is the one that crushes us 49 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: because it's really a long teeth It's a long roller 50 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: coaster of a ride back to summer. So um, that's 51 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: one of the things I love about this region is 52 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: the fact that you get four really hard seasons because 53 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: you can always look forward to that one. We're not 54 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: there yet. I don't know if we have spring anymore. Yeah, 55 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Spring doesn't really. Spring is always the it's like three 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: days for most people summer. Yeah, for most people, spring 57 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: is like, oh, this is awesome. It's great because it 58 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: gets not not here it's thirty eight and raining, or 59 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: it's you know, seventy seventy. Yeah, there's no like two 60 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: weeks of fifties you know, mid fifties, nice sunshine, maybe sixty. 61 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: It was sunshine this last week it was twenty eight. 62 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean, who needs it? So spring is really the downer. 63 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: It's not winter that's the downer here in western New York. 64 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: It's spring. Yeah, because you don't know when you're done. 65 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you think you know there's light at the 66 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: end of the tunnel, and no, it was a reflection 67 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: off something. It wasn't real, you know. So you're in 68 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: this tunnel, it ain't no ch. So I'm I am 69 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: not there yet. I am not willing to let my 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: guard down as of yet. All right, fair enough, So 71 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm just tired, so I'm willing to let at this point. 72 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of where I'm at. Yeah, we 73 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: have to go around the NFL, Steve, And you know what, 74 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. I know that Bill's fans 75 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: realize how fortunate we all are that Josh Allen is 76 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: the quarterback of this football team. But we're constantly reminded 77 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: of how fortunate we are. And I'm gonna give you 78 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: a few small examples, Steve too, to enforce this concept. 79 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: Not that anybody needs convincing, but you just take a 80 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: little spin around the AFC East and you see why 81 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: it's different everywhere else around the NFL. Incidentally presented by 82 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. And 83 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: we begin Steve in New England, where there are reports 84 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: that tension still lingers between Bill Belichick and quarterback Mac Jones. 85 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick with the latest salvo just this past week 86 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: at the owner's meetings when he would not unilaterally commit 87 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: to Mac Jones as his starting quarterback, saying Mac and 88 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: Bailey ZAPPI will battle it out and determine who the 89 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: starting quarterback is. Now. Look, I'll be the first to 90 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: tell you I respect any and all coaches that want 91 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: to let competition settle the score on the field. All 92 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: well and good. Sure this guy was the pick in 93 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: the draft for you. I mean, Billy Zappy in my 94 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: mind has the playoffs as a rookie, has to far 95 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: in away and came within an inch of the playoffs 96 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: this past year. You know, losing to the Bills in 97 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: Week eighteen cost you a playoff berth with them. Yeah, 98 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: so you Bailey's Zappy, who have memory serves was a 99 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: fifth round pick, has some talent not gonna deny that, 100 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: but you want to take you want to feel that 101 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: way behind closed doors, that's totally fine. But to publicly 102 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: emasculate you're starting quarterback of the last what is it, 103 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: three seasons now two seasons? This does not compute for me. 104 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: Is this how you feel you're motivating Mac Jones by 105 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: publicly outing him and saying, ah, he's no better than 106 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy. We're gonna let him battle it out. Yeah, 107 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: and with the support he did or did not get 108 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: with last year's coaching staff. Offensively, you're gonna hold You're 109 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: gonna let him hold the bag of just missing the playoffs. 110 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna put that on his plate, and 111 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: not the coach, you know, Matt Patricia and and Joe Judge, 112 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: the guy that's screwed up more last year. If you're 113 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: comparing Belichick and mac Jones, is probably Belichick for the 114 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: hand he dealt to Mac Jones. Oh, here's Matt Patricia 115 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: as your OC and Joe Judge as your quarterback coach, 116 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: And I have fun with that. Not only that, let's 117 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: take a first round draft pick as an offensive lineman, 118 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: not one of the ones that are gonna be there 119 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: at a head. He's a guard. He's a guard attack. 120 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: He would have been available at one hundred and one 121 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: pick forget about picking him like fifteenth or twentieth overall, 122 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: whatever they picked last year. He would have been available 123 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: at fifty. Yeah, and you passed on all these other guys. 124 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you? And so that's all. That's 125 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: all on Belichick right now. Here is why Belichick has 126 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: taken the stance that he has. According to Pro Football Talk, 127 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: So Chris Simms, who is on Pro Football Talk Live, 128 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: and let's just say, because if his last name has 129 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: some connections, apparently learned that last year during the debacle 130 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: that was Matt Patricia and Joe Judge started calling members 131 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: of his former Alabama coaching staff in order to get 132 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: some information as to how to properly run the offense. 133 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: So my guess is he lobs a call to Bill O'Brien, 134 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: who was then the OC down there, and said, Hey, 135 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: I could use a little help here, and I'm not 136 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: getting it from the guys that are coaching me. What 137 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: can you tell me? That apparently ticked off Bill Belichick 138 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: to high heaven. According to Tom Kerran of NBC Sports Boston, 139 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: the only he might have made him mad, But he 140 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: hired O'Brien after that, Yes he did, which would only 141 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: reinforce Mac jones position of being the right and Mac 142 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: apparently was not happy being the guinea pig under Matt 143 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: Patricia and Joe Judge as neophyte offensive coordinators. Correct, So, now, 144 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: how has Belichick returned the serve by saying, Wow, you know, 145 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: Mac Jones and Bailey's Happy are probably gonna play at 146 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: some point this year together. What so? I made it 147 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: work last year with a couple of know nothings as 148 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: you're as my offensive coaches and managed to steer this 149 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: team to a winning record of nine and eight. The 150 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: guy I was calling for help you actually he brought 151 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: back to be MYOC. And now you're telling me that 152 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy is gonna get playing time this year over me? 153 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: The hell is wrong with you? I'll say this. The 154 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: article didn't. It didn't actually say he called O'Brien. He 155 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: said he called members of the Alabama coachi. Who is 156 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: he calling to me? Would? But it could have been 157 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: it could have been one of the lower guys who 158 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: he had a really better relationship with than than Bill O'Brien. 159 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: Who's calling for tips on how to run the New 160 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: England offense. The guy that used to run it, Bill O'Brien. 161 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: He would like to think you'd like to say that 162 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: he called him. There's I don't know what it doesn't 163 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: say that, but yeah, they hired him anyway. Connect the dots. 164 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: They hired him anyway. So I'm I'm with you. I 165 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: think that's this is ego with a capital E. And 166 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: let's face and I know this would they always say 167 00:10:53,600 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: it runs downhill from Bill Belichick wasn't given a ringing 168 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: endorsement by Robert Kraft either. I saw that as well. 169 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft was like, well, you know, we're barely treading 170 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: water here above five hundreds, right. We went from ten 171 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: wins in twenty twenty one to nine wins in twenty 172 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: twenty two. If we keep going in that direction, I 173 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: may have to do something. Yeah, yeah, it's hard to win. Meanwhile, 174 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: elsewhere in the AFC East, at the quarterback position as well, 175 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: the New York Jets, who are still trying to execute 176 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: and finalize the trade for Aaron Rodgers. Now, according to 177 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: WFA and Radio in New York, the Jets may have 178 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: competition for Aaron Rodgers. So Craig Carton, who is a 179 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: talk show host there for w f AN in New York, says, 180 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: according to his sources, that the Jets better act quickly 181 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: on completing this trade for Aaron Rodgers. This is what 182 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: he This is a direct quote from Craig Carton, talk 183 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: show host for wf AN. Take it for what it's worth. 184 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: He according to people that I know, does have sources 185 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: in the Jets organization, So this could be people trying 186 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: to prompt the Jets to get this thing done and 187 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: not Deli Daly. He says, quote Aaron Rodgers to the 188 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: Jets is not a done deal. And the wrinkle is 189 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: this there is another team involved now and if the 190 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: New York Jets don't pull this off soon, meaning like now, 191 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: they're not getting him end quote, can we get the 192 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: wildly COYOTETNT box and just drop the plunger? Oh god 193 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: that if the Jets somehow muck this up, if they 194 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: make this happen, it will be It'll be, Yes, it 195 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: will You're delicious to watch, Oh the papers, everything, all 196 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: the national because there's a bunch of you know, all 197 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: the media guys in New York secretly they're their giants 198 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: and their Jet guys. All the media and New York 199 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: because they follow those guys closely, they go, they talk 200 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: to them. So it to have the Jets do something 201 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: like this and just not be able to get out 202 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: of their own way or refuse to pay a price 203 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: that another team is willing to pay, and when that 204 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: price has made public, it's you can't imagine the ridicule 205 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: and the fan backlash that will happen to the Jets. 206 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say this, what what name is 207 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: something else? It'll be like there are oh my gosh, Steve, 208 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: there are enough teams that we can characterize as quarterback 209 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: needy to believe there is merit to this report. Yes, 210 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: think about it. Washington would love Washington. Houston, Carolina although 211 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: they've got the first pick of the draft, they wouldn't 212 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: do it. But yeah, Carolina might be the smartest thing 213 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: to do, Steve. You could even make an argument for 214 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: a team like San Francisco if you want it San 215 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: fran because I mean, they've got Brock Purdy who's probably 216 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna be iffy to be ready at the beginning of 217 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: the season. Trey Lance, they still don't know what they 218 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: have in him, and Purty might beat him out for 219 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: the job anyway when he's healthy, And then you could 220 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: talk about just about any team. Indianap pollis you know 221 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: what I mean? Yes, Bob Hersey is a little nutty. 222 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: He'll do it. Indianapolis, Um, New England, Uh, Tennessee, Tampa Bay, 223 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Houston and Indianapolis. You just said, Um, I 224 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: put Tampa on the list. I'm telling you, man, Raiders 225 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: New Orleans tell me the Raiders wouldn't want to reunite 226 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: him with Davante Adams Hotlanta. Well, they say they're going 227 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: with Desmond Ritter, But I think you take whatever they 228 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: want all uh and and here and just to wrap 229 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: up what the report said, Greig Carton on his show 230 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: on WFA and in New York also said this he's 231 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: posing the scenarios knowing another team is involved. Reportedly, he says, 232 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: do the New York Jets now panic and try to 233 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: get a d all done? Do the New York Jets 234 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: feel like they've got this locked up and Green Bay's 235 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: got no other options? And do they just wait it 236 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: out and eventually get them at the price they want, 237 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: or does Green Bay at some point go. Here's a deadline. 238 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: We want this done. If you don't get it done, 239 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: that's on you. We have options. You could play it 240 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: that way if you're green Bay and that Believe me, 241 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: green Bay's gonna play it very smart, because are they bluffing? 242 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: Do you think there's validity to another team being involved? 243 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: I can easily get myself there, sure, and all the 244 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: teams that are quarterback needy, sure, but you got you 245 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: gotta know that there's no way to keep that secret. 246 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: And I gotta think the Jets know who that other 247 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: team is. Here's the other part of I don't think 248 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: he keeps stuff like that secret. The league's too small, 249 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Here's the other part of 250 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: the equation. Not to say that the green Bay Packers 251 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: are a vindictive organization, but how sweet would it taste 252 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: for Brian Gutencoust, the GM of the Packers, knowing that 253 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: it has been publicly said by one Aaron Rodgers, it 254 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: is my desire to play for the Jets, and then 255 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: you ship them to the Raiders in Las Vegas. You 256 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, Oh, you'd like to play 257 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: for the Jets. That's great, Aaron? I hereby thumb my 258 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: nose at you and send you to Las Vegas, send 259 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: you to Indianapolis. You don't hold the cards, bucko, have 260 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: fun in Sin City. Yeah, I'll send you to Vegas 261 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: or you know Berry yet I'll send you to the 262 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: Washington commanders, who, by the way, haven't sold. Yeah, let 263 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: you work for that guy. That would be that would 264 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: be that, that would be vindictive, Yes, that would that 265 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: would qualify. I just I don't know. It's very interesting. 266 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: I think there's no question that the teams are interested. 267 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: There's a right, well right, there's a part of me 268 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: that doubts validity of this because, as you said, it 269 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: would have been out there somewhere else, you know, by 270 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: a more credible national reporter. You would think. Not that 271 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: they aren't scrambling right now to try to find out 272 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: if there is validity to this, but knowing that Craig 273 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: Carton has sources inside the Jets, my belief is there 274 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: are some people in the Jets organization that are gripping 275 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: right now and saying, how do we put pressure on 276 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: our decision makers to get this thing finalized and done. 277 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: We are three weeks from the draft, and after the 278 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: draft is over, our leverage goes out the window because 279 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: now Green Bay can sit around and wait. There. The 280 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: impetus for the Packers is to get more draft capital 281 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: this year. Yes, they helped their roster help to help. 282 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: You don't get this done before the draft, you've lost 283 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: your leverage. So my this is my view of it. 284 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: My view is, yeah, there could be another team out 285 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: there that's kicked the tires a little bit but hasn't 286 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: gone nearly as far as the Jets have in terms 287 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: of what they're prepared to offer, what if and so 288 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: because of that, the Jets are in the quote unquote 289 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: driver's seat. But there are people in the Jets organization 290 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: that are freaking out. Oh yeah. One of those people 291 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: called Craig Carton and said, hey, can you can you 292 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: nudge our decision makers a little bit and just put 293 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: it out there that there's some other team involved now 294 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: talking to the Packers about getting Rogers. Yeah, we've got 295 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: I mean everybody, I said this to you in the 296 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: pre in the pre show, when we're in our getting 297 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: ready for this, we're there. What if you pick out 298 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: all these teams and do you think who who else? 299 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: Has got quarterback issues? And when you go down there, 300 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: list you know, Houston and Indianapolis and you know and 301 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: all these teams. What about Like if you trade Lamar 302 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers and you can keep your draft capital, 303 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: you have to still do a deal yeah with Lamar, 304 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: which is no easy thing. But there's that even that's 305 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: on the table. But I like so Baltimore would be 306 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: in those sweepstakes, but that would be I think there's 307 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: too many moving parts there to get that done, most 308 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: notably the one part that won't move, and that's seemingly 309 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: in Lamar is not moving off one hundred percent guarantees 310 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: in his contract. Plus I think they're gonna, they're gonna 311 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: they want to see what they think Jordan Love can play. 312 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: So I don't think that's a real thing. But some 313 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: of these other teams, like Tennessee and Houston and Indianapolis, 314 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: those are three candidates that really would It would be 315 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: malpracticed if they didn't pick up the phone and say, hey, 316 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: what's the deal? What can can we have a conversation 317 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers? Mister Gudakunst, Yeah, and he's got to say, well, 318 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: here's what we're looking at with the Jets. What about it? 319 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: All I can say is whether it's true, a half truth, 320 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: or completely false. I am enjoying this like a Game seven. 321 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: It is a final series for Jet fans. Let's face it, 322 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: Bills fans have been there. It is torture watching this 323 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: happen and waiting it is abject torture. I'm just telling 324 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: you if this does not come, because if it doesn't right, 325 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: because there's a possibility it does not happen, scorched Earth, 326 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god, in New York scorch it will be Earth, 327 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: it will be I can't wait. Brown, give me an examples, 328 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: Give me an example of another franchise going through anything 329 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: that would rival this. What would happen? What would it be? 330 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: Would it be the Jets taking a fullback in the draft? 331 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: First they did that? I know Roger Vick, right would 332 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: they take? Would that? Would that be worse than this? No? No, 333 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: I think so, because it's it's a franchise player. What 334 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: what would it be? Okay, it's not Cleveland. Brown's leaving 335 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: Cleveland for Baltimore. That's not quite that level. Is it? 336 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: The Oilers trading Gretzky, Well, that's pretty close. That's probably 337 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: it's probably more la. That's more egregious than this because 338 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: this is a this is a franchise player, but he's 339 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: forty years old. Gretzky played another ten twelve years ten 340 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: at a high left. Think about it after the is it? 341 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: Is it Lebron leaving Cleveland because he came back in 342 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: one um m h, it's hard to think of a 343 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: Now fans may react the same way. Yeah, yeah, they 344 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: were Cleveland cast fans lighting jersey's on fire in the street. 345 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what you know, Oh, they'll be they'll be 346 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: ten percent of the fans in MetLife Stadium next year 347 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: and Jets home opener, even if if if Aaron Rodgers 348 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: is not the quarterback, they'll be wearing Aaron Rodgers Jet jerseys. 349 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: You know they will. Well, that's so. That's the other thing. 350 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: Nobody's even talked about this. If the trade does happen, 351 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: number twelve's retired bro with the Jets, what numbers Rogers 352 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: wearing there? Or is Joe Namath going to give his 353 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: blessing and let him wear it? I don't know, be 354 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: very interesting to see how that plays out. But right now, 355 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: it doesn't even sound like they're gonna get that far 356 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: that that's just it's too it's so too delicious. Yes 357 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: it is. Let's go to the phones and see what 358 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: you guys think. We lead off with David in Weedfield here, David, 359 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: what do you got for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, um, 360 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: I just think this is all a bunching on. Haven't 361 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: we been going through the same thing about the last 362 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: three or four years now? I think Rogers is just 363 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: gonna end up staying in Green Bay. I think this 364 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: is all just a lot of smoke. But if they 365 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: are serious about trading him, don't you think that he 366 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: has some kind of clause in his contract or he 367 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: has to approve a trade, like they couldn't trade him 368 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: the Vegas or something like that without his approval, right, 369 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: I'd have to take a look at his contract. I 370 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: don't think he don't think he has He does not 371 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: have a no trade. He does not that has to 372 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: be negotiated and that's that is not a part of 373 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: every contract. And the word has it that. I think 374 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: this scenario was probably seen, even if it was not 375 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: talked about, this was seen by both parties, and I 376 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: think it's highly, highly unlikely that Rogers will be a 377 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: packer this next year, at least on the field. Yeah, 378 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: so I would I would disagree with you there, David. 379 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: I think this is a real move that's going to happen. 380 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is not going to play for the Packers again. 381 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: I would be shocked if if it does happen. I 382 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: know we've been down this road with him before. This 383 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: is different. Here's the thing. So among the teams that 384 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: we mentioned in terms of what they can offer, you know, 385 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: the Jets are supposedly going to offer their pick at 386 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: forty three in round two or their pick at forty 387 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: two because the Jets traded Elijah Moore to the Browns 388 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: and got picked forty two as well, so they've got 389 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: those back to back picks in round two. One of 390 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: those presumably would be going to the Packers. And then 391 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: there's talk about a second round pick next year, which 392 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: is conditional and could become a one based on whether 393 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers commits to a second season with the Jets 394 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, which you know, as we know, 395 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: it's an annual sojourn as to what Aaron Rodgers are 396 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: going to do with his football career. So do you 397 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: think the sticking point is the fact that Jess don't 398 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: want to give him the thirteenth pick. Oh that, I 399 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: don't even think that's on the table, not for a 400 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: forty year old quarterback, even the caliber of Rogers. I 401 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: think they'll give them a conditional pick next year. That's 402 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: a second rounder now. And if Rogers says I'm playing 403 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four as well, that becomes a one 404 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: next year. But a team like Las Vegas, who we've mentioned, 405 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: for example, Steve they pick higher than the Jets to 406 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: pick a thirty eight. What if what if the Raiders say, yeah, 407 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: we'll give you thirty eight and we'll give you our 408 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: two next year. That becomes a one. Now, the capitol 409 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: is better, the deal is better, and Rogers gets to 410 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: go play with Devantae Adams. Again, maybe that's an option 411 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. We mentioned them, what it could Tampa Bay offer. 412 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: They're picking lower than the Jets, But do they sweeten 413 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: the pot with a player you know who knows right? 414 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: So there are teams that need quarterback that you can 415 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: very easily see wedging themselves into the conversation here with 416 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: Green Bay. I'll say this again, if you're of the 417 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: mind that a quarterback is absolutely paramount to your franchise, 418 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: now and going forward, and you've got deep pockets. In 419 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: my opinion, the move to make is for Carolina to 420 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: step in and say, we'll take we'll take Aaron Rodgers, 421 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: give you our thirty ninth pick of the draft, and 422 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: we'll give you our Where do they pick? Do they 423 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: want to have a third rounder? Yeah, ninety third pick, 424 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: our second and third pick for Aaron Rodgers, but we 425 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: get to keep our number one overall pick. And then 426 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: when you do that, then you take your guy as 427 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. Let him learn from Aaron 428 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: Rodgers because an Aaron play now at forty as long 429 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: as you want until you can't play, whether it's one year, 430 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: two year, whatever, you tell them, that's what we're gonna do. 431 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: And you're gonna do just what you didn't in Green 432 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: Bay except now. The only thing with Carolina is I 433 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: think they're in a different place. Like the Raiders are 434 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: trying to reload, not rebuild, because they have veteran players 435 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: like Davante Adams. You have a proven receiver and Hunter 436 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: Renfro Josh Jacobs. You know you have an offense that 437 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: just needs a quarter being to reload from finish Tampa 438 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: thirteenth in the conference name name name, they're really they're rebuilding. 439 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: I'm not saying their plan is correct, but Tampa just 440 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: got done with a veteran quarterback. They could draft one, 441 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: but they're picking down at nineteen. You're probably not getting 442 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: any of the top four quarterbacks down there. I get it. 443 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: They make sense. Well, that's right. There's a lot of 444 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: these teams that make sense. And I'm saying, if you've 445 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: got an owner who has displayed the attitude that David 446 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: Tepper has in Carolina, pay the Have you seen the 447 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: coaching staff that Frank Reich was able to put together, 448 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: and that's nothing but money. They got a ton of 449 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: experience and a lot of chops in that coach in 450 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: that coaches room he has and it has been displayed 451 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: painfully to Frank Reich in Indianapolis. Okay, these guys may 452 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: get you through free, but this switching over quarterbacks thing 453 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: is for the birds, which is what we did in 454 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: Indianapolis every year I was there. We can make it 455 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: work with a guy for a minute if he's got 456 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: something left, but believe me, you can't do that. So 457 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: let's get a guy to mentor a young guy who's 458 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: got a chance to be really good, so we don't 459 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: have to push the kid out there and have him 460 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: sink or swim rather than grow into it. To me, 461 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: that's if you're gonna fix your quarterback problem, fix it 462 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: once and for all. Bring a guy in who can 463 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: play now and mentor a kid who's gonna play tomorrow. 464 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: Well they already did that because they have Andy Dalton. 465 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: They signed him in free agency away from the Saints. 466 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is not Aaron Rodgers. He's not Andy Dalton 467 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: on his best day ten years ago. Was isn't Aaron 468 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: Rodgers today. But if you ask me who I'm picking 469 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: to mentor a young guy, I'm picking Andy Dalton over 470 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers one hundred times out of a hundred. All right, 471 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: that's a good point. That's a really good point. It's 472 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: a good point. He mentors no one that's except himself 473 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: in a dark room. Yeah, but you can win with him. 474 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: You know, you can win. You're right, you win. You 475 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: can win with my crazy you know, mentor Gandolf the Gray. 476 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: You can win with him. You can win. You can 477 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: win with off the third rail. But you know he's 478 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, cuckoo for cocoa pop. Yes, Yeah, he's have 479 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: fun with that. I'm just gonna tell you whether whether 480 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: the Jets get Rogers or not, they will wreck it 481 00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: in horrific fashion, like horrifically spectacular July fourth Brouccie Brother 482 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: fireworks display, like it will, it will detonate in such 483 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: a spectacular fashion. Not for today, but maybe maybe we'll 484 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: do this off the air. We will. We will conjure 485 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: scenarios as to how it will go up in flames 486 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: in New York with Aaron Rodgers. It'll be so much fun. 487 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: We have to take a break here. We do want 488 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: to pass along the Twitter question quickly, having a little 489 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: fun with you.

Chris Brown, 501 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you talking about some AFC East quarterback news. 502 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: First wfa N reporting that another team is now involved 503 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: with the Packers for the services of one Aaron Rodgers. 504 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: To what extent we do not know. We haven't seen 505 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: this report anywhere else, so we're still wondering if this 506 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: is just somebody planting a seed to get the Jets 507 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: to jump and make a deal complete, or if it 508 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: is valid and there's another team kicking the tires. And 509 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: then up in New England, the tension grows between one 510 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and Mac Jones and we go back to 511 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: the phones as we are asking you today as far 512 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: as the Bills are concerned, who is your round one 513 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: draft crush for the Bills? Who are you over the 514 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: moon about? And would love to see the Bills draft 515 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 1: at twenty seven, eighth, three, fifty, two, five fifty Get 516 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: on board. They're gonna have some sort of chance of 517 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: being available at the pick number twenty seven too. So yeah, 518 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: we're not looking for CJ Stress, right or you know 519 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter exactly. Yeah, let's go to the phones, and 520 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: I think it's Trevor in South Carolina? Is that right? 521 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Uh? Yeah, I'm actually 522 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: a buffalo needed myself. I'm on vacation right now. And uh, 523 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: Steve Casking met my buddy at the Fieldhouse who was 524 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: joined the Matt Jones Jersey and you got a picture 525 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: with him. Yeah just last week. Yeah, yeah, just last 526 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: three years. So I was just talking about Aaron Rodgers 527 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, boy, because you guys, I started talking 528 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: about him. To be quite honest, I think he's a 529 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: little washed up, and I think you should have retired 530 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I would be happy to 531 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: have this old man in our conference, all right, Okay, yeah, there, 532 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean a couple of years ago, 533 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: you wanted him to hang it up. A couple of 534 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: years ago he won the MVP though he was two 535 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: time MVP three years ago. He was an MVP two 536 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: years ago. He was a two time MVP repeat. So 537 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's washed up. He's still the 538 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: most accurate quarterback I've ever seen in my life. And 539 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: by the way, we've been notified to CBS Sports reports 540 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers intends to play for the Jets, and 541 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: Namath says he can wear his retire jersey. Yeah. I 542 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: didn't see that, but that is out there, yes, But anyway, 543 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: whether he gets there is the question. Now. The Belichick 544 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: thing is interesting, and Mike Giardi, now formerly of the 545 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: NFL Network, chimed in on this the Pro Football Talk 546 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: report the tension lingers between Belichick and Mac Jones. Gardy 547 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: says on Twitter. Talk to many people about this. To 548 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: a man, those who have seen or felt this roll 549 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: their eyes. One source said to me, I don't know 550 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: what Bill fought was going to happen. The decisions he 551 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: made set the table for max regression and for the 552 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: entire offense. The offensive dysfunction was felt on all levels 553 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: of the offense and by all position groups. There were 554 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: coaches who knew that this system, play calling, and play 555 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: design was not up to the previous standards set in 556 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: Foxborough with Josh Daniels. The players felt it. And lastly, 557 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: on a personal note, I have no horse in the race. 558 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: I don't give a damn who starts Mac or Bailey, 559 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: z Appy or a quarterback to be named later. If 560 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: you're whipped on a first round quarterback, though, that is 561 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: fair game to dissect. Oh it's so juicy. Yeah, I 562 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: love it. The Patriots were well Listen, they won nine 563 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: games last year, and they did it with an offense 564 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: that they won eight games last year, and they did 565 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: it with an offense that couldn't get out of its 566 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: own way. By all accounts, you gotta think the decisions 567 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: made by Bill Belichick about how to handle the offensive 568 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: side of the staff, the offensive side of this ledger. 569 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: And I've said it before and I'll say it. I'll 570 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: say it now too. It's my belief that he is 571 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: so limited in his men of coaches he will consider 572 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: to hire because he'll only hire guys who have been 573 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: in that inner circle of trust that know how they 574 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: do business, which means they got secrets they need to keep. Yeah, 575 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: they do business different than everybody else. They've been accused 576 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: of a ton of stuff over the years. Whether it's 577 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: true or not, it's certainly this what I'm saying, certainly 578 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: makes it look like it's true. They got secrets they 579 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: can't let get out or they're gonna get blown up 580 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 1: by the league. Were they video other teams practices, send 581 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: guys in stadium worker gear, into the locker room of 582 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: their opponent, ostensibly doing work and taking game plans, where 583 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: they got game time on game day, in the beginning 584 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 1: of game or it's some certain crucial part of the game. 585 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: The headsets don't work, or they only work partially, And 586 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: when you get texts up there to say, hey, what's 587 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: the deal with this, they're like, yeah, I know, speaking 588 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: to English, they can't fix it. You got guys who 589 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: you know that they've been caught red handed videotaping defensive signals. 590 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: So you go down the menu of all these things 591 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: that they've been caught and acute or at least caught doing, 592 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: and a little deflating footballs. Who cares? Right, all of 593 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: that stuff you've got there's some group of guys. It's 594 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: not just one guy, as a group of people over 595 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 1: there that are a side of the organization who seem 596 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: to be involved in that. He won't hire anybody outside 597 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 1: the building. Why is that? Yeah? Why why is that? They? Now? 598 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's gonna come back? What is he is? His 599 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: non disclosure still intact, but he's one of the guys 600 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: that won't spill the beans. So he's now he can 601 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: come back and fix our offense. They won't hire Kyle Shanahan. Never, 602 00:37:54,440 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: no way. You know something, these the coordinators out there 603 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: who have made a name for themselves wouldn't even be 604 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: considered in New England because they're not inside that circle 605 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: of trust. It's been reported that Josh McDaniels goes to 606 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: Denver becomes the head coach. One of his former players 607 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: in a in a podcast said, yeah, we were. We 608 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: started out like a house on fire. Then they caught 609 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: us filming our opponents practices. That was Denver with Josh McDaniels. 610 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, yeah, you how tough can it 611 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: be to go to those Super Bowls? Wouldn't you doing that? 612 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: Obviously not that tough. Yeah, particularly when he got one 613 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: of the great quarterbacks of all time. I hear you. 614 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: Let's get they got problems over there, man. Oh yeah, 615 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: let's get back to the phones. We go to Kevin 616 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 1: and Hamburg. Next. What do you got for us? Kevin? Hey, guys, 617 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: how are you doing? Bake fordam call your thing? How 618 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: are you guys doing? Pretty good? God n I wanted 619 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: to bring up about Aaron Rodgers really fast talk after 620 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: Dave did, the Only problem is that, Okay, if I 621 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: do this, I wanted to bring up about that. I 622 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: don't know. A problem with your theory is that Aaron 623 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: Rodgers is not a good babysitter the way Patrick Smith 624 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: or I'm sorry Alex Smith was to Mahomes. Part of 625 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 1: the reason why Mahomes got to be as good as 626 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: he was is the Big brothers skills. To Alex Smith 627 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: has that that um Rogers does not seem to have whatsoever. Now, 628 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: maybe if he goes to a place he's happier and 629 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: gets out of Dodge, the old Western saying get out 630 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: of Dodge, maybe he'll be better. Happiness makes sure you 631 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 1: do things different than if you're miserable. But as the 632 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: now basis personality, he's not, and neither was bet far 633 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: up to him, So that's kind of I don't know. 634 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: Maybe it's happy this will become better, you know what 635 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, I'm I'm kind of with you. And 636 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: that's why I brought it up to Steve. You know, 637 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers signed Andy Dawlton to probably be a 638 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: mentor to whoever they draft number one overall, and to 639 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: the thought of Aaron Rodgers being a mentor just doesn't 640 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,760 Speaker 1: compute for me. Yeah. The other thing that I realized 641 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: Steve is Raiders probably aren't in on this because I forgot. 642 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: They signed Jimmy Garoppolo in free agency three year deal 643 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: for seventy two millions, so they're probably not the team. 644 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 1: So I'm down to basically Tampa, and now I gotta 645 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: see if I can find another teams that might be interested. Yeah, 646 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: but they got the number two pick. They're kind of 647 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: starting from scratch, total rebuild. You're gonna take a forty 648 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: year old quarterback. I don't know. Tampa makes sense to me. Yeah, 649 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: and I could probably find a couple other teams where 650 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: I would at least listen to the to the argument 651 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 1: for adding Aaron Rodgers. But Tampa makes sense. Atlanta, Yeah, 652 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could argue Atlanta. They're supposedly 653 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: going with Desmond Ritter and they also draft eighth. So 654 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: depending on if a quarterback slide I said was Washington. Yeah, Washington, 655 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: you can never rule out them. They do crazy stuff. 656 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: So yes, it's not out of the realm. Now, certainly 657 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: at this point you said to Brownie, a lot of 658 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: these teams are off the table. You would think from 659 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes because of his age and because 660 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: of the longevity coming back in the cost and the cost. 661 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: But there are you know, less than a handful of 662 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: teams that you can say, Okay, yeah, you know, I'm 663 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: fascinated by it. I love it. I hope there's another team. 664 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if there's another If there's another team, the 665 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: price goes through the roof. Yeah it does well. Yeah, 666 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: higher than it is now, higher than it is now, 667 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: for sure. We gotta take a break here. We also 668 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: want to know your round one draft crush for the 669 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's pick at twenty seven. What NFL prospect have 670 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: you fallen in love with? Who you would be over 671 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: the moon to see in a Bill's uniform. After Night 672 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: one of the NFL Draft eight three, five fifty to 673 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: jump on board, got open lines for you. There, we're 674 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: back with our Round one crushes coming up next. You're 675 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: on one Bills Live presented by Collot of Health. It's 676 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. You're a real live Chris Brownson. Need 677 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: to ask you with you talking about your Round one 678 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: draft crush for the Bills in the first round of 679 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft, some player that you have fallen in 680 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: love with and think would be a perfect fit for 681 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: the Bills. You let us know at eighth three five 682 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty the 683 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: number to get on board. Back to the phones and 684 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: to Mark in New Jersey. Next, Mark, what do you 685 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bills Live a good afternoon, gentlemen. Um, 686 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: it's it's such as repetitive, I know, but Darnel Washington, 687 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: I just it's something the Bills tried to do when 688 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: Knox was younger. Now he's going to be five years 689 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,399 Speaker 1: in you know, Alson went to Seattle because Alan hadn't 690 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: emerged yet. Gronk chose to go play with Brady, you know, 691 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: and you know you understandably. So they tried to do 692 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: it to a lesser degree, you know, with with with Croft, 693 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: but he was always injured. Knox had to settle down. 694 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: At least they loved using Lee Smith and twelfth personnel. Um. 695 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: They've tried to bring in tight ends to a varying degree. 696 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: They haven't worked out o J. Howard Hollister. Um. They 697 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: used Morris a lot last year, a lot more than 698 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: I ever thought they would do. But now you know, 699 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, Josh loves to give his tight ends chances 700 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: in the in the red zone. He loves Knox in 701 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: the red zone. And he's thrown over thirty touchdown passes 702 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: to tight ends alone. And you think about the Bills 703 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: tight ends, they're not the you know, you would never 704 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 1: think it's like a big group. But he clearly trust 705 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: those guys, and he helps you in the run game 706 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: on the perimeter if you want to help out Spencer 707 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: Brown with you know, Jayalen Phillips, whoever else you can 708 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: free up, not Washington is more than effective at that. 709 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: Watch the other tight ends try to push the sled 710 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: and watch him do it. It's night and day. And 711 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,760 Speaker 1: then I just think they love these untapped potential guys 712 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: that have all the measurables, Like Steve says, trades guys 713 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: all the time. He just fits the bill, all right, intended. 714 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: Thanks for the pretty comprehensive answer. Yeah, I like it, 715 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 1: and and I I don't know that he'll be there 716 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: at twenty seven. I'd have no problem with that at all. 717 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: Huge target, big physical tight end, as big or bigger 718 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 1: than some tackles you'll see, certainly taller, strong, and you're right, 719 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: you watch him push the blocking sled, he'll get it 720 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: done down inside physically. Plus, his hands are in the 721 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: ninety three percentile of players he's got like yeah, his 722 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: hands are virtually a foot across. He catches the ball 723 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 1: extre well. His highlights really show that he's got those 724 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: traits that we've seen. The Bills covet big long you 725 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: can't one. The one physical still skilled that you can't 726 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: teach is height. Right. Uh, he's all of that. I mean, 727 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 1: the guy is just you know, he's huge, catches the 728 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: ball extremely well, and he's athletic to boot. Huge hands 729 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: Like I said, so, he catches it really well, played 730 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: at a high level, played at a big program, got chances, 731 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,399 Speaker 1: showed some stuff when he got the chance post catch 732 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,399 Speaker 1: all of that. Um yeah, if he's there at twenty seven, 733 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: I have no issues with that, and we'll all go 734 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: crazy over that. I want. I want to see the guy. 735 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: He is the lead physical traits and that's what the 736 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: Bills usually draft more often than not. All you have 737 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: to do is look at Kaye Elam and Greg Rousseau 738 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: the last two years to tell you about that. Tremaine Edmunds, 739 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen the only exception to the rule is at Oliver. 740 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: Everybody else that they've taken in round one has been 741 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 1: elite physical traits and two I means most of their 742 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: first pick, but Bean wasn't here yet. Most of their 743 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: second round picks are also elite traits. You know, Spencer 744 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 1: Brown at least third round. But yeah, well yeah, but 745 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: it's mostly round one. In round one, they don't take 746 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 1: guys that don't measure up quite literally, So so yeah, 747 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: that that is very that's good. Good guess I don't 748 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: have a problem with that at all. I can get 749 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: behind that for sure. All right, let's go to Rick 750 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: in California next. What do you have for his? Rick? 751 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: Here on one Bill's Live. Hey, Chris Steve, how you 752 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,879 Speaker 1: guys doing. We're doing great? Thanks awesome. Well, I really 753 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: don't have a specific player to really go after in 754 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: the draft. I just believe, in my opinion, we really 755 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 1: have to worry about the trenches. So in my you know, standards, 756 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: I really like Deon Dawkins. He's a really good player. 757 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: I just think he'll be an elite player at either 758 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: a guard or maybe right tackle. But when it comes 759 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: to the blind side, I think we should get an 760 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: upgrade on that part of it because Josh is definitely 761 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: one of those how everybody calls him a hero player, 762 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,280 Speaker 1: you know, and he really doesn't look for the checkdown 763 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: so much. When I was watching the old twenty two 764 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,359 Speaker 1: on the games that we lost, he was looking at 765 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: the progressions really well, and he saw the open receivers 766 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: on the Deacon dunk passes, but he's not taken them, 767 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, because he likes to look for the developed 768 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: play and go for it. Which if he got to that, 769 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, when he takes the Deacon dunk passes, I 770 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: think everything will be fine, you know. And I really 771 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: do believe in day Davis. I think he could definitely 772 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: be our number two. I think we already have our 773 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 1: receivers already rostered, so I don't really want to, you know, 774 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: put that in the draft as part of our needs 775 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: and the part that's kind of scaring me a little 776 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: for future reference as the safeties. I know that Poyer 777 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,800 Speaker 1: in hide, they're getting up there in age and whatever 778 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 1: have you, so I think, oh, we got wrapped. I 779 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: like that guy a lot, but I think we should 780 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: definitely look into future talent in the safety department, if 781 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 1: you will. Back to the offensive line, I really love McGovern. 782 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: I like the guard situation. I would just like to 783 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 1: see if Dion Dawkins can move over and get an 784 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: elite left left tackle. Okay, does that make sense? No? 785 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, Rick, and thanks for the call. 786 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,839 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, if you're drafting a round one, 787 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 1: I would almost prefer you to take a tackle instead 788 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 1: of a guard. I know, Oh, Cyrus Torrence was all 789 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 1: the rage, you know, a few weeks ago, the guard 790 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: out of Florida for the Bills pick at twenty seven. 791 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 1: I'd rather take a guy that I've seen play tackle, 792 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: and then if you're set at tackle or he can't 793 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: beat out one of the starters at tackle, well, then 794 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 1: move him to guard. Because a tackle conceivably can play 795 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 1: guard moving out, though, is a much different story a 796 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,720 Speaker 1: guard playing tackle when he's been a guard by trade. 797 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: That's usually more of an uphill climb. And so if 798 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,720 Speaker 1: I'm in Round one, I'm kind of leaning more tackle 799 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,359 Speaker 1: than I am guard, just because generally speaking, the better 800 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: athletes are playing out on the edges. Yeah, it's there's 801 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: less space inside a guard, so those guys can get 802 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 1: away with a few more being not as elite but yes, 803 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: if if there was an elite left tackle on the 804 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 1: board and you could plug him in and play, I 805 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that at all. Dion has 806 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: made a big contract. You don't mind paying even a 807 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 1: right tackle or a guard the money the Deon's making 808 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: because it's it's under your cap anyway, and with a 809 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: rookie left tackle it's all a wash. So it's yeah, 810 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that at all. If 811 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: Dion could get behind it, if he doesn't mind the 812 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 1: position switch, uh, yeah, you're just that much better. I 813 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,879 Speaker 1: don't know that there's gonna be a plug in left 814 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: tackle in the twenty seven pick of the draft this year. 815 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that there's anybody I trust on the 816 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,840 Speaker 1: left side. There are tackles that will go in the 817 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: first round. Yes, the ones that are capable of starting 818 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 1: at left tackle are gonna be probably all off the 819 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: board before you get to pick twenty. Right, they're gonna 820 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 1: be gone well before the Bills pick. So I like 821 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: the idea. Nope, absolutely, I just don't think you're gonna 822 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: get it done. Yeah, we gotta take a break here, 823 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,879 Speaker 1: because when we come back, it is our latest look 824 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: at mock Draft Watch with Bill's reporter Manny Gleb wh 825 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 1: will be joining us here in studio next to give 826 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 1: us the latest preferences of the draft gurus out there 827 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: for the Bills pick at twenty seven. That's coming your 828 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: way next here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalid 829 00:50:43,600 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. They is One Bill's 830 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: Live presented by called Light to Health. Here we are 831 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,800 Speaker 1: our number two on a Tuesday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker 832 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,240 Speaker 1: with you, joined in the studio by Bill's reporter Maddie 833 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,879 Speaker 1: Clab because it is that time once again you've seen 834 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: her here before for the very same reason. Mock Draft 835 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 1: Watch six point zero we are up to now. I 836 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 1: cannot believe we're up to six point zero, six point zero, 837 00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 1: and Maddie is going to dice up the new trends 838 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 1: from the draftnicks as to who they like for the 839 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: Bills at pick twenty seven. Have we seen a shift, Maddie, 840 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,760 Speaker 1: That is question number one. We've started to see a shift, 841 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: but it hasn't been reflected upon looking at all the 842 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 1: mock drafts yet because early on we were getting Bijean 843 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: Robinson in what seemed like just about every other Mock 844 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 1: Draft Watch, and the name is still popping up. I 845 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: mean there's one today that I had us trading up 846 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: to go get Bijan Robinson at number twenty trading up 847 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: to get him. Yeah, So yeah, I'm gonna have a 848 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 1: heart attack. This is just going to be a name 849 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,240 Speaker 1: that's going to be around maybe until the draft begins 850 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: and then we're really going to see what happens here. 851 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 1: But we're starting to see a shift in the positions, 852 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 1: at least being mocked to the Bills at twenty seven. 853 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: So we can start with Mock Draft Watch six point zero, 854 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: and then I also have started to track all of 855 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: our mock drafts the positions mocked the Bills out of 856 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: the one hundred and fourteen that I've tracked, and also, yeah, 857 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: cumulatively have started to track that as well. So we'll 858 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 1: go we'll go small picture and then we'll go a 859 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,760 Speaker 1: big picture. So out of the thirteen that we tracked 860 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:15,359 Speaker 1: for Mock Draft Watch six point zero, linebacker, offensive line 861 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver are the most popular positions, and we're seeing 862 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,240 Speaker 1: on if you're watching on MSG, we're seeing the cumulative results. 863 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 1: So I can flip to that for now and then 864 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: we'll go back to mock Draft Watch six point zero, 865 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 1: so we've tracked one fourteen so far. Out of those 866 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen, offensive line has been mocked to 867 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,840 Speaker 1: the Bills thirty five times. That is the most popular 868 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 1: position for the Bills at number twenty seven and even 869 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 1: two to one. Interiors. Yes, when you break it down, 870 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 1: interiors twenty four. Offensive tackle has been locked to the 871 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 1: Bills eleven times, so interiors definitely the favorite. Next up, 872 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 1: running back, I should just say B Jean Robinson because 873 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,320 Speaker 1: I think he's been mocked to the Bills maybe twenty 874 00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 1: one times, and the other three times it's been Jamir Gibbe. 875 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 1: Those are the two names that we've seen there. Wide 876 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 1: receivers number three at eighteen and then safety dB. I 877 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 1: split those two up or put them together. Fifteen, Linemacker 878 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 1: eleven Defensive line four times. A defensive linemen have been 879 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: mocked to the Bills. That's more defensive tackle. I've seen 880 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,479 Speaker 1: only one edge rusher b mocked to the Bills. Tight 881 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 1: End is number three. Cornerback is also number three. Wow, 882 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, should just put BJ instead. And it's 883 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: not for broad jump, it's for Bejean Robinson. So offensive 884 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,280 Speaker 1: line the hot position. Running back is the second hottest position. 885 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 1: And then favorite names I said Bejan Robinson has been 886 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 1: mocked to the Bills around twenty one times. Twenty times 887 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 1: he's been mocked to the Bills, so he's the most 888 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: favorite name. Being mocked to the Bills at twenty seven 889 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,759 Speaker 1: or being mocked to the Bills a little higher up. 890 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,920 Speaker 1: I counted based on when the Bills were drafting in 891 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: the first round, even if mocks had them trading up 892 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 1: a few spots. Second most favorite name, Osiris Torrance, is 893 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,640 Speaker 1: a name that we've seen pop up quite a bit too. 894 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 1: He's been mocked to the Bills seventeen times. And then 895 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 1: from there you have two safeties nine times. Is Brian 896 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:20,240 Speaker 1: Branch in Antonio Johnson is I believe is six times. 897 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: So the three favorite names be Jean Robinson, Osyrius Torrance, 898 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 1: and Brian Branch. Yeah, Branch didn't test well, Maddie, yes, 899 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,320 Speaker 1: and Branch has been sliding out. Branch has been early. 900 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: The Branch names came when we started to first start, yeah, 901 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 1: first start tracking these mock drafts, so that that was 902 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 1: more January February pre Combine is when we saw Brian 903 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,879 Speaker 1: Branch and Antonio Johnson pop up quite a bit. Yeah, 904 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: but I mean after the combine, after free agency, we 905 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 1: really haven't seen safety pop up as much just because 906 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,400 Speaker 1: of what the Bills have done in free agency. So 907 00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 1: it's interesting to look at this big picture and haven't 908 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: not really reflect how the latest mock drafts look at 909 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 1: who the Bills are going to take. Number twenty seven 910 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 1: latest ones, now that free agency were halfway through. One 911 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,919 Speaker 1: of them had him taken a corner Cam Lewis, Yeah, 912 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: not Cam Cam Smith Cam Smith Yeah from South Carolina. Yeah, 913 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,760 Speaker 1: so yeah, Okay, Well that's what the Bills have always 914 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: wanted to be and want to be before every draft. 915 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 1: So whoever the player is, they can take him, whether 916 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: it's a corner or you know, whatever had or defensive end, 917 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: whatever had, what have you. I don't know that they're 918 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,399 Speaker 1: there yet. Yeah to me, yeah, I don't think they're there. 919 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,360 Speaker 1: Were if there, if it's a that the need doesn't 920 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: sneak up on the guy who's the best on the board. 921 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 1: And in six point zero we tracked thirteen and linebacker 922 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,320 Speaker 1: and offensive line were the most favorite positions. Wide receiver 923 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 1: as well. Each of those positions were mocked to the 924 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,919 Speaker 1: Bills three times. Interior offensive line was two to one. 925 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 1: First his offensive tackle, defensive tackle popped up once, running 926 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 1: back popped us popped up once, tight end and cornerback 927 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,400 Speaker 1: also popped up once. But the favorite names out of 928 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 1: this one Drew Sanders and Jordan Addison. My man, that's 929 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,960 Speaker 1: my that's my full on bromance. Drew Sanders is my 930 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: full on romance. As far as the guy, I think 931 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 1: having a cough of it. But we we have been 932 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: talking about Drew Sanders all morning, and so I said, 933 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:32,960 Speaker 1: all right, let me go, let me go watch the guy. 934 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 1: So the first highlight out of the gate, he's playing agains. 935 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 1: It was a Mississippi State here somebody, and he blows 936 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 1: through a double team and gets the quarterback and makes 937 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 1: a sack. Then he decletes some guy on an off 938 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,920 Speaker 1: tackle play, steps up into the hole. I mean, the 939 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 1: guy is really playing well. His his highlights to me 940 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: are more impressive than Jack Campbell. Well. The reason why 941 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 1: is he's a better athlete. He his ulcer athlete. He's 942 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 1: a faster athlete. Might not be as fast in the 943 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: short shuttle as Jack Campbell. And Jack Campbell ran six 944 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: seven four three cone drill right, that's pretty damn good. 945 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 1: Anything under seven seconds. He's very good in the three 946 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,520 Speaker 1: cone and a linebacker at two forty nine doing a 947 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 1: six to seven four, that's pretty good. Here's why I 948 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 1: like about Sanders, is this the guy's an edge rusher. Well, 949 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: he was an edge rusher at Alabama. Couldn't get on 950 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: the field, so they put him in. He transferred to 951 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 1: Arkansas to get on the field. They stood him up 952 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 1: and took him off the ball, and he was crushing 953 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 1: people and he played extremely well so in passing. So 954 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 1: this position versatility as a linebacker, to me screams what 955 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 1: the Bills look for in players. And I could envision. 956 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: And you know, we talk about Jack Campbell, who's like 957 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 1: the soup DuJour. Everybody loves Jack Campbell, and I get it. 958 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 1: I'd be happy if they got Jack Campbell also, But 959 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if Jack Campbell fits the value at 960 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 1: twenty seven. A lot of people are mocking him later 961 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 1: in the draft, like in the forties. I think I 962 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 1: just saw Todd McShay mock him forty eight overall in 963 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: his latest mock draft. More people tend to have him 964 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 1: in the top half of the second round where Drew 965 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: Sanders is a better athlete, Maddie and I think might 966 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: be more fitting of the value at twenty seven. And 967 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 1: I know that who was a Jordan Reed. I think 968 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,919 Speaker 1: from ESPN you listed right in mock draft six point 969 00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 1: Oh he took Drew Sanders. Sorry, guys, I had a 970 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 1: little tickle. So we're there. The worst feeling ever, But 971 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: Drew Sanders. I wanted to add on him just a 972 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 1: little bit. He was a five star coming out of 973 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 1: high school and so this guy was highly recruited, started 974 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: off at Alabama, ended up transferring to Arkansas. He's played 975 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 1: in quite a bit of games, but he hasn't started 976 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: in many. So this is somebody that you turn on 977 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,000 Speaker 1: his tape. There's a lot of upside with a player 978 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 1: like Drew Sanders, and with what you see on tape, 979 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 1: he plays with anger, intensity and explosion. Explosion, yeah, an 980 00:59:55,560 --> 01:00:00,760 Speaker 1: explosion getting some water. Oh my gosh, this tack on 981 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: my throat is terrible. I'm so sorry, guys, but he 982 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 1: needs more reps. If you're drafting a player like this, 983 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 1: you know what, you know what he's put on tape 984 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 1: so far, The oh my gosh, the upside is there, 985 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,760 Speaker 1: but he's somebody that you want more time on task 986 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 1: with a guy like him. Yeah, I would agree. He's 987 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 1: not as instinctive as Jack Campbell is. Right now, if 988 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: you draft Drew Sanders over Jack Campbell, you believe in 989 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 1: two things, the elite athletic traits, and you believe in upside. 990 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,840 Speaker 1: You believe the upside is higher with Drew Sanders than 991 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 1: it is with Jack Campbell, who kind of is what 992 01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: he's going to be. Now here's the other thing, and 993 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 1: Steve alluded to it. I can see and we know 994 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 1: how the Bills love position flex. Okay, they love it 995 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 1: and a number of positions. If you can get a 996 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: middle linebacker who can play, you know, the undefined downs 997 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: as you're off the ball, play caller getting the plays 998 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,040 Speaker 1: in his helmet, setting up the defense. Great. But then 999 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 1: this is what I like about Drew Sanders. You get 1000 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 1: into a third and twelve situation. You put Terrell Bernard 1001 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 1: on the field as middle linebacker. He plays your pass coverage, 1002 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 1: and you take Drew Sanders and you put him at 1003 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,680 Speaker 1: defensive end and you take boogie bash him off the 1004 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 1: field and say you're over there, Van's over there, go 1005 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,040 Speaker 1: get him. Kick Greg Russou inside at defensive tackle and 1006 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 1: let's go yeah with Jordan Phillips, Yeah, you could use 1007 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: Sanders as a defensive end instead of an off the 1008 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,720 Speaker 1: ball linebacker. That's kind of flexibility in obvious passing situation. 1009 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,600 Speaker 1: I also think too, he is and I don't know. 1010 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say here. I know how it is 1011 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 1: to play linebacker and all that, but Sanders still strikes 1012 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 1: me as a good enough stand up inside linebacker to 1013 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,919 Speaker 1: start in, plug in and let him go. He played 1014 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 1: off the ball a ton his last two years, so 1015 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking he's good enough now to take over for 1016 01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 1: a Tremaine Edmonds. Knowing too that he's got he's going 1017 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 1: to develop and get better and better and better and better. 1018 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 1: He's not got nobody's gonna be as good as Tremaine 1019 01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,480 Speaker 1: was at the last year or the year before, but 1020 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: maybe half the season end, he's close, you know what 1021 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying, He's going to develop fast, particularly playing a 1022 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 1: lot of reps on that. So, and that's where they 1023 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 1: can come to understand by sitting down with him, Hey, 1024 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 1: does he know X's and know is like, he'll get 1025 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: this and he'll only get better at this. The other 1026 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,880 Speaker 1: person Maddie that caught my eye. Our good friend friend 1027 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks at NFL dot com went with Jordan Addison 1028 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 1: at twenty seven for the Bills. Steve and I said 1029 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 1: earlier in the show, I wouldn't be unhappy with that. 1030 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 1: And one of the main reasons why is many people 1031 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: consider him to be a three level receiver, a guy 1032 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 1: that can run routes for you and get separation underneath, 1033 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,680 Speaker 1: intermediate and deep. I know the size is a concern there, 1034 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,520 Speaker 1: but maybe just flesh him out a little bit for us, 1035 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 1: because I think he could be a dynamic addition. Yeah, 1036 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: I mean Jordan Addison. He's He's played in thirty five games, 1037 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,000 Speaker 1: so he has some of that time on task that 1038 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 1: you'd be looking for. He had his best year with 1039 01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 1: Pitt in twenty twenty one, where he played in fourteen games, 1040 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 1: one hundred catches for over fifteen hundred. Yeah, here comes 1041 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,920 Speaker 1: that tickle. Over fifteen hundred receiving yards, seventeen receiving touchdowns, 1042 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 1: which is incredible. That ties the FBS for the lead 1043 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 1: at least right now. He can work inside and outside, 1044 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: which is what I really liked. When you turn on 1045 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 1: the tape on him, he's got quick feet, he's fast. 1046 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 1: He can duke a defender right out of their shoes. 1047 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 1: He can get in and out of his brakes quickly. 1048 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 1: He plays bigger than he is based on his athleticism. 1049 01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,240 Speaker 1: He sees the ball well into his hands too. He 1050 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:53,200 Speaker 1: had a down season this past year with um USC, 1051 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 1: So the question mark for him is why did that 1052 01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,160 Speaker 1: down season happen? Is twenty twenty one his best, He's 1053 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: in something that you can build on. Over his career, 1054 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 1: there's been quite a bit of production. Twenty twenty one 1055 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,800 Speaker 1: again the best year that he had. He ran a 1056 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 1: four four ninety. He's five eleven one seventy three, so 1057 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: he's a little bit smaller. So it's also what type 1058 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,680 Speaker 1: of flavor of a wide receiver are you looking for? 1059 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Do you want somebody like Jordan Addison or are you 1060 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 1: looking for somebody a little bit bigger than him? Yeah, 1061 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: he came in, think about it. He was at Pittsburgh 1062 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 1: and he won the Blittnakoff Award, as you know, Yeah, 1063 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 1: and then transferred it. People aren't here, what's going on? Well, 1064 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 1: Monday graduated. That's what happened. Well plus plus the nil 1065 01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 1: at USC is much more lucrative than the NI as 1066 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 1: a Blatnikoff Award winner for USC is a different than 1067 01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 1: it was in Pittsburgh. Well, true, he and plus you 1068 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 1: had a chance to play at an at a better 1069 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,840 Speaker 1: weather school and all that stuff. And I think a 1070 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 1: conference where they don't play defense, I think it was 1071 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 1: a I think it was a personal two for him 1072 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,880 Speaker 1: to transfer to do that. Because the guy won the 1073 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Bulletin Kakoff Award with Pittsburgh Panthers. I mean, that's how good. 1074 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 1: I would argue that the defense is better in the 1075 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 1: ACC as well than it is in the twelve. And 1076 01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 1: he put up monster numbers there. He's a slight guy. 1077 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 1: He's one hundred seventy less than one hundred and seventy 1078 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 1: five pounds. He's five to eleven, so he's slender and 1079 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 1: all that. But you know, more and more and we 1080 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 1: and Brownie and I are knocking these guys for it, 1081 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 1: but you're seeing more and more of those guys out there. Well, 1082 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm just gonna say this. When I watch 1083 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,760 Speaker 1: his tape, I look at his route running, he reminds 1084 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: me of Digs. Yeah, yeah, like a young Diggs. I mean, 1085 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's Diggs, don't get me wrong, but 1086 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 1: some of his route precision resembles diggs game. Yeah, and 1087 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:47,760 Speaker 1: that's what excites me because if you can run routes 1088 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,640 Speaker 1: in a way that is similar to Diggs, you know 1089 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,959 Speaker 1: he can fit in this offense. And secondarily, logic would 1090 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,240 Speaker 1: tell you he can win at all three levels of 1091 01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: the field. And that's what people say. Now. Look, I 1092 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,920 Speaker 1: know everybody out there, all these draftnicks and gurus that 1093 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 1: have watched far more tape than I have, have said 1094 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,280 Speaker 1: that Jackson Smith and Jagba is the best route runner 1095 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 1: in the class. Okay, I'd put Addison up right behind 1096 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,160 Speaker 1: him if he's not the best, right, There's a lot there, 1097 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 1: but those are my favorites, and it's it's difficult now. 1098 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 1: It used to be much easier when you know, when 1099 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 1: the Bills were in the top ten, picking to kind 1100 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,000 Speaker 1: of hone in on who the Bills could get because 1101 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: you knew most of the guys who were going to 1102 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,160 Speaker 1: be there. When he gets to twenty seven at the 1103 01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 1: bottom of the first round, it's difficult to decide which 1104 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,200 Speaker 1: position group is going to be highly sought after and 1105 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 1: which ones are not the one you know, like my 1106 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 1: crush is on an offensive lineman. That's why I think 1107 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:44,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna take. I think they're gonna take a big 1108 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 1: body because those are hard to find. We've had guys 1109 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 1: call in say, you know, they like the Darnell Washington, 1110 01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,280 Speaker 1: the tight end out of out of George Free. I 1111 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 1: can get that. Mine is the Darnell right because I 1112 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 1: think he'll actually be there because he's a He's a 1113 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,320 Speaker 1: high level guy. Played a lot of right tackle in 1114 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 1: his year. He played one year left tackle from Tennessee. 1115 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: Out of Tennessee, he only allowed seven sacks as a 1116 01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 1: right tackle in his entire career at Tennessee. Played three 1117 01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,080 Speaker 1: years a right tackle in the SEC, and he also 1118 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 1: he also played They're gonna see about five pass rushers 1119 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,200 Speaker 1: go in the first round, right, Yeah. He also played 1120 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,919 Speaker 1: left tackle for one year and allowed three sacks that year. 1121 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 1: For the entire year last year, he had over eight 1122 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 1: hundred snaps at at right tackle and led up zero sacks. Zero. 1123 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: So so, so, Maddie, why not what's the look at 1124 01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,320 Speaker 1: tackle in the latest mock I think they had one 1125 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 1: guy mock Draft six point Oh, they had the Ohio 1126 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 1: State kid, the big giant, behemoth guy. Not Paris Johnson, 1127 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:54,200 Speaker 1: his teammate Dwan Jones. Yeah, Dwan Jones, and then Darnell 1128 01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,439 Speaker 1: Wright as well. Oh he wasn't there. Okay, good, that's Steve. 1129 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: Darnell Wright might have been in the last one. Um, yes, 1130 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 1: because it was two to one in the offensive lineman 1131 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,680 Speaker 1: at least in this crop. So Darnel Right was in 1132 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,600 Speaker 1: mock Draft Watch five point zero. Okay, Dwan Jones was 1133 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 1: in mock Draft Watch six point Darnel Darnel Right, who 1134 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 1: has only been mocked to the Bills once. Oh wow, yeah, 1135 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:21,400 Speaker 1: because I kind of like that ar because they think 1136 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be gone. Well, yeah, maybe he's in this 1137 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 1: He's like the third best tackle available in this draft. 1138 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,679 Speaker 1: There's no way you get out of this first round, 1139 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 1: and there's only well, you got Paris Johnson, Ohio State. 1140 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 1: He's going in the teens and a lot of Georgia kid, right, 1141 01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 1: And then I want to say there, Oh, Scronsky is 1142 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,759 Speaker 1: the other kid who's supposed to be in the top fifteen. 1143 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 1: So those are the top three r and then after 1144 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:51,280 Speaker 1: that it's picked your flavor. Is it Dwan Jones a 1145 01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: gigantic human being? Is it Darnell Right from Tennessee. Another 1146 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,439 Speaker 1: big player, but not nearly as big as Dwan Jones 1147 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,600 Speaker 1: or do you like the best garden his instead of 1148 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 1: one of those tackles that are maybe the fourth or 1149 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,640 Speaker 1: fifth on the board. Dwan Jones has been mocked to 1150 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 1: the bills three times. Yeah if well, he's yeah, he's 1151 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,599 Speaker 1: he's just he's seen. He's got a crazy measurable right, 1152 01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 1: he's unbelievably enormous. He's six eight, well over three hundred 1153 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 1: and fifty pounds. His arms are thirty six and eighth inches. Right, 1154 01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 1: he's got crazy, that's right, and he moves quick for 1155 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 1: his size. So but you got to find out. And 1156 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if if the guy is committed and 1157 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: is serious about it, and he doesn't have he's not 1158 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,559 Speaker 1: one of these guys that has to battle to stay 1159 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 1: under four hundred, what's he? What kind of guy is he? 1160 01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 1: Is it a battle for him to play under three 1161 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,960 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pounds um? Because if it is, 1162 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to fight that, they've got demons. You 1163 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 1: got to work with him. If and once they start 1164 01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,320 Speaker 1: getting a paycheck that's really big, they tend to take 1165 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 1: it out of gear. So all those personal things have 1166 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,680 Speaker 1: to A guy that big has questions to answer, just 1167 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 1: like a guy who's really small has questions to answer. 1168 01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 1: Different questions, but the same kind of thing. There are 1169 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 1: things you're not going to know until he gets in. 1170 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 1: All right, So last question here, Maddy before we let 1171 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,639 Speaker 1: you go and rest your poor voice. Oh my gosh, 1172 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Oh it's fine. I want to I 1173 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,560 Speaker 1: want to ask you guys a question first, then you 1174 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: can ask me one. So when we had Chris Trapasso 1175 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,559 Speaker 1: on last week when you both were out, we started 1176 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,720 Speaker 1: to have this discussion. I can't remember if we had 1177 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,759 Speaker 1: most of it on air. Off air, you know, Brandon 1178 01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,960 Speaker 1: Bean says, and I know he doesn't entirely mean this 1179 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 1: when he says this, but he said in the past, 1180 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 1: when we get to the draft, we want to be 1181 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,080 Speaker 1: in a position where we are drafting based on wants, 1182 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,680 Speaker 1: not needs. We want to be able to go in 1183 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 1: and take the best person available at number twenty seven 1184 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 1: or wherever they're draft at, regardless of position. And it 1185 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,640 Speaker 1: depends because you never know what their draft board looks like. 1186 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 1: You never know how many round grades they have on players, 1187 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,720 Speaker 1: so everybody's draft board is different. Brandon could have a 1188 01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,880 Speaker 1: bunch of first round grades on offensive lineman, and that's 1189 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:13,240 Speaker 1: conveniently also a position group that the Bills could add 1190 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,800 Speaker 1: some more depth to. Do you believe based on the 1191 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,760 Speaker 1: situation that the Bills are in now to where we're 1192 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,640 Speaker 1: paying a lot of money for a few players in 1193 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 1: your Josh Allen, your your Von Miller, your Stefon Diggs, 1194 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:31,120 Speaker 1: You're Tredavious White, You're Dion Dawkins, You're Matt Milano. Go 1195 01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 1: down the list with the guys that were paying big 1196 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,720 Speaker 1: time too. Do you believe that this team is in 1197 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 1: a position to truly draft still want versus need because 1198 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,200 Speaker 1: of the financial position this team is in and where 1199 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 1: I feel like now over the last two years, there 1200 01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,000 Speaker 1: are some needs once this team goes into the draft. 1201 01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 1: There was a need at cornerback last year, and right 1202 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 1: now I believe there's there's a need at offensive line 1203 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 1: for this team and a huge need at linebacker for 1204 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,280 Speaker 1: this team. Do you think that kind of starts to 1205 01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 1: change for this team because of the fact that that 1206 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,600 Speaker 1: they lean more towards need than best player available? Is 1207 01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: that the question they're leaning more towards need now than 1208 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:19,479 Speaker 1: best player available because of the salary cap situation, and 1209 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,040 Speaker 1: because they can't afford to get some of these guys 1210 01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 1: in free agency, that they have to go into the 1211 01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 1: draft having holes still on the rock. So my answer 1212 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 1: to that would be yes, but not at the cost 1213 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:38,400 Speaker 1: of going outside what the board tells them. In terms 1214 01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: of value. You work an entire calendar year to get 1215 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,840 Speaker 1: the value right on your board as it pertains to 1216 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 1: your team. Is this guy a fit for the Bills? 1217 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,719 Speaker 1: How much value do we put on that fit based 1218 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 1: on his talent, his character, his background, all of that stuff, 1219 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,240 Speaker 1: his want to how important football is to him. So 1220 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,599 Speaker 1: I would say yes, but not to the point where 1221 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:09,080 Speaker 1: it compromises the value they've assigned to player X on 1222 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,800 Speaker 1: their board. So my answer to that is, because we 1223 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 1: were talking about this the other day. Jack Campbell, for example, 1224 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 1: some people don't think he's worthy of a first round 1225 01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,919 Speaker 1: draft of choice. They don't have him until the forties. 1226 01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,599 Speaker 1: Some teams, perhaps we had a call or say, well, 1227 01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 1: if you need a linebacker, just take him at twenty seven. 1228 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,200 Speaker 1: What's the difference, I said, Well, the difference is you 1229 01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 1: just spent the last calendar year determining value for three 1230 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 1: hundred thirty players in your draft pool and If they 1231 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,680 Speaker 1: have Jack Campbell as a pick somewhere between somewhere in 1232 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,960 Speaker 1: the middle of round two, they're not going to take 1233 01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,519 Speaker 1: him at the bottom round one. If they want him, 1234 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,400 Speaker 1: and they don't want to pick anybody else because they 1235 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,800 Speaker 1: don't like anybody else at twenty seven, they'll slide out 1236 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 1: if they can, so the value fits better. Is it 1237 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:57,360 Speaker 1: a risk, of course it is, but value over everything. 1238 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,200 Speaker 1: I will agree with you that I think need at 1239 01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,040 Speaker 1: a position has slid up in the priority list a 1240 01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:08,680 Speaker 1: little bit, but it will never ever trump value. That's 1241 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,400 Speaker 1: what they work all year on to assess. I would 1242 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 1: agree everything with Brownie said, I would agree with um. 1243 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,519 Speaker 1: I would say this right now. Yeah, they have they 1244 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,880 Speaker 1: have a need not as pronounced at the offensive line 1245 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:25,360 Speaker 1: as they did before they signed Connor Mcgovernor David Edwardson 1246 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 1: resigned Kesson Berry, and the need they have this year 1247 01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 1: is different and lesser than the lat Draft last year 1248 01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,600 Speaker 1: because the need that they have is not at a 1249 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 1: money position. It's not at corner edge rusher, it's not 1250 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 1: at wide receipt all the left tack. You know, it's 1251 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 1: not a left tack. Those are money positions. It's it's 1252 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 1: a linebacker. Okay, you know, I'm not saying they're not 1253 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,160 Speaker 1: important guys, but the role and the value they have 1254 01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,679 Speaker 1: on a roster is not a quarterback. You know, corner 1255 01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:00,479 Speaker 1: is much more valuable than a nickel line backer or 1256 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,800 Speaker 1: whoever it's going to be, even the inside linebacker. So 1257 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,519 Speaker 1: they're harder to find. So I think the fact that 1258 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,960 Speaker 1: they do have a need at linebacker, they're in a 1259 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,320 Speaker 1: good position. It's not it's a position that is not 1260 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,680 Speaker 1: going to be decimated by the time they get to 1261 01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:18,439 Speaker 1: the pick twenty seven, and they could get the best 1262 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 1: on the board. You can see they might might be 1263 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,120 Speaker 1: able to slide back into the top of the round 1264 01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 1: too and still get the best. While there is all 1265 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:29,000 Speaker 1: the things that Brownie said, each pick in the draft 1266 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 1: has a value. The fact that the Bill's needs are 1267 01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:36,680 Speaker 1: at a positions that are not value positions is going 1268 01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 1: to serve them well, probably better than they were in 1269 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: a position to do last YEA, yeah, that's more. We 1270 01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:44,160 Speaker 1: will leave it there and give Maddie's poor voice a break. 1271 01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:51,200 Speaker 1: Please get yourself a lozenge y. It's upstairs in the cafeteria. Hot. 1272 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,280 Speaker 1: That's that's our prescription here from doctor Brown and doctor tas. 1273 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,519 Speaker 1: Thanks you feel better. Oh my god, that's Maddie Glab 1274 01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,280 Speaker 1: with mock Draft six point I know we will have 1275 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,800 Speaker 1: her visit us again here in studio with mock Draft 1276 01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 1: seven point zero sometime next week. As we inch ever 1277 01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,479 Speaker 1: closer to the draft, we'll take a break here, Steve 1278 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 1: and I will expound on our round one draft crushes 1279 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:14,960 Speaker 1: for the Bills at twenty seven. You tell us yours 1280 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,320 Speaker 1: at eight O three five fifty. Next you're on One 1281 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Collot to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 1282 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,000 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, 1283 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you here on a Tuesday and talking 1284 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:40,599 Speaker 1: about your round one draft crush for the Bills at 1285 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:45,240 Speaker 1: pick twenty seven overall. And it is time for us, 1286 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,320 Speaker 1: Steve to turn to the tweet sheet and then we 1287 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:50,240 Speaker 1: will reveal our draft crushes, although we kind of did 1288 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 1: with Mandy to a certain extent already. So tweet sheet 1289 01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 1: as always brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the 1290 01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 1: official equipment movie company of the Buffalo Bills. Your round 1291 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 1: one draft crush for the Bills Hot and Arizona, says 1292 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 1: Jack Campbell. I think he is the replacement for Edmonds. 1293 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 1: Similar in size, plays the run very well better than Edmonds. 1294 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:15,320 Speaker 1: In my opinion. Pass coverage is not the best yet, 1295 01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:19,800 Speaker 1: but neither neither is or was Edmonds. Edmunds replacement is 1296 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,559 Speaker 1: number one priority. Bills didn't get a replacement in free agency, 1297 01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: so the need is in the draft makes sense. I 1298 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,799 Speaker 1: think the biggest question is whether or not Jack Campbell 1299 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 1: gets around one draft grade. That's the question because some 1300 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 1: people believe he is a top half of the second 1301 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,800 Speaker 1: round pick, not a bottom of the first round pick. Yeah, 1302 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,320 Speaker 1: and then you start getting into the thing where if 1303 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:45,479 Speaker 1: you want to really max out your value, you got 1304 01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,280 Speaker 1: to trade back and still take him. Maybe the Bills 1305 01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 1: can exit this draft with eight picks instead of six, 1306 01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, by drafting, trading backwards and then trading back 1307 01:17:56,360 --> 01:18:00,800 Speaker 1: again or whatever. If you take Jack Campbell twenty seven, 1308 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 1: it's a little high the theoretically, And if you take 1309 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,799 Speaker 1: your your guy Drew Aunt Sanders, it's really a stretch 1310 01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 1: because Jack Campbell's considered by a lot of people, not everybody, 1311 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,479 Speaker 1: to be better. I don't know. I think I think 1312 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 1: you're right. Sanders fits here better than Jack Campbell fits 1313 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 1: here well. I because of his flexibility well, and he 1314 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:27,800 Speaker 1: has elite athletic traits, right, I mean he runs a 1315 01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:29,800 Speaker 1: four or five nine at six five two hundred and 1316 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,920 Speaker 1: thirty five pounds. Tremaine Edmonds ran a four to five three. 1317 01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean he's six four. Edmonds was six five. I 1318 01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 1: gotta get some of his testing numbers because he didn't 1319 01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,599 Speaker 1: do much at the combine. He tested at his pro day. 1320 01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:51,920 Speaker 1: His Drew Sanders instincts are better than Tremaine's was were 1321 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 1: when he came in jump thirty seven inches vertically. That's 1322 01:18:56,360 --> 01:19:01,720 Speaker 1: big at six foot four, and he's long. He's a 1323 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:06,920 Speaker 1: long player, long limbs, and he's got pass rush ability 1324 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 1: that I think is even better than Tremaine Emmons. You 1325 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,600 Speaker 1: remember when Tremaine came out, he kind of lined up 1326 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,120 Speaker 1: as a as a sambacker in Virginia Tech and then 1327 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 1: was put up on the line for pass rushing. Arkansas 1328 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,559 Speaker 1: did the same thing with Sanders. He had a lot 1329 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: more success in a tougher conference. So I just people 1330 01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:30,400 Speaker 1: say people wonder about the draft value of Jack Campbell 1331 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: because he's a middle linebacker. Off the ball, that's all 1332 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 1: he can do for you, and that's a lot. Don't 1333 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:40,759 Speaker 1: get me wrong. That's important, and I'd be perfectly happy 1334 01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:43,880 Speaker 1: if the Bills drafted Jack Campbell. I like Drew Sanders 1335 01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 1: a little bit better. I think the upsides higher, the 1336 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:51,679 Speaker 1: athleticism is better, and I think he is position flex 1337 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,880 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, and the Bills 1338 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 1: love position flex at any position. And as I said earlier, 1339 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:01,879 Speaker 1: he's your off the ball linebackers setting up the defense. 1340 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,000 Speaker 1: But you get to third and twelve, third and nine, 1341 01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:07,800 Speaker 1: I think you can bring to El Bernard on the field. 1342 01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:12,080 Speaker 1: He's your coverage linebacker running the defense, and you put 1343 01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 1: Drew Sanders up as a pass rusher on the edge. 1344 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 1: You take ajp and S off the field, you take 1345 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,719 Speaker 1: Bookie bash him off the field. You put Von Miller 1346 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,840 Speaker 1: on one side, Drew Sanders on the other. You put 1347 01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,800 Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau inside where he played at Miami and eight 1348 01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,800 Speaker 1: guards for lunch, and you line him up next to 1349 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,960 Speaker 1: whoever the heck else you want as your other interior 1350 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 1: pass rusher and go. And because of that position flexibility 1351 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,240 Speaker 1: for Sanders, I think that increases his draft value as well. 1352 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,639 Speaker 1: So for my money, he's worth taking at twenty seven 1353 01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,120 Speaker 1: for those reasons that I make my case. Yes, you 1354 01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 1: did very well, and I went back and looked at 1355 01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,479 Speaker 1: his highlights, and of course his highlights make him look, 1356 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,679 Speaker 1: you know, great, But in his highlights, the guy looks 1357 01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:57,560 Speaker 1: like t J. Watt because he lines up on the 1358 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,439 Speaker 1: edge and can really go. Plus he lines off the 1359 01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 1: ball in a lot of down a distance and ends 1360 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 1: up plugging the hole, and he's a great run stuff. 1361 01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 1: For the guy weighs two hundred and fifty pounds, so 1362 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:12,280 Speaker 1: he's big, and I'm all about it. I think that'd 1363 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 1: be a great pick for the Bills, no question about it. 1364 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:18,200 Speaker 1: And as per usual, you forget about this because we 1365 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:19,840 Speaker 1: start when we look at the top of the draft 1366 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,360 Speaker 1: and then these guys that you know, down to the 1367 01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,679 Speaker 1: bottom half of the first round and wherever the Bills 1368 01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 1: happen to be picking. Now that they're finishing deep in 1369 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs every year, you forget. Whoever they get's going 1370 01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,040 Speaker 1: to be a really good football player, really good and 1371 01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a lot of credentials coming in. You 1372 01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 1: don't get to the first round of the NFL Draft 1373 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,080 Speaker 1: without it. So any of these guys, whether it's our guy, 1374 01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,680 Speaker 1: my guy, Brownie's guy, or one of viewers out there, 1375 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna be get a really good football player. And 1376 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,840 Speaker 1: that's it's fun to remember that Cruce Sanders had one 1377 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,200 Speaker 1: hundred and three tackles, three force fumbles, ten sacks, and 1378 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 1: a pick one of and the pick he returned for 1379 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:03,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown had eleven sacks. He had ten, ten sacks, 1380 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,799 Speaker 1: three force fumbles, and that's only as a part time rusher. 1381 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:11,160 Speaker 1: He was really productive, really productive. Yeah, I'm still trying 1382 01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,720 Speaker 1: to get all of his pro day numbers. So ran 1383 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,639 Speaker 1: a four to five nine vertical leap of thirty seven, 1384 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 1: broad jump of one hundred and eighteen inches, So what 1385 01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,639 Speaker 1: is that? That's just under eleven feet. That's like ten 1386 01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: eight I think or ten seven. Did the short shuttle 1387 01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 1: in four point three eight three cone in seven point 1388 01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:40,720 Speaker 1: one five. So those long legs compromise his agility ever 1389 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 1: so slightly. But he has sidelines to sideline range. There 1390 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,479 Speaker 1: is no doubting that. I just think the position flex 1391 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 1: is what makes him a more valuable prospect and I 1392 01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,759 Speaker 1: think would justify elate for first round selection as opposed 1393 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 1: to Jack Campbell. I'd be over the moon I got 1394 01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,600 Speaker 1: Jack Campbell. I think though he and Drew Sanders are 1395 01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:02,160 Speaker 1: the two middle linebackers in the entire class. So they 1396 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,439 Speaker 1: get either one of those guys, I'm thrilled. Yeah, And 1397 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,519 Speaker 1: I think either one of those guys is gonna be 1398 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:08,280 Speaker 1: good enough to step on the field and call the 1399 01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,760 Speaker 1: defense yes, which is what you're gonna be asking the 1400 01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,280 Speaker 1: guy to do. And after those two there's a drop off. 1401 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,640 Speaker 1: UM as as far as a true fit middle linebacker. 1402 01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:22,559 Speaker 1: UM Trenton Simpson's a fantastic athlete, but he's small. All 1403 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:27,560 Speaker 1: those two twenty five they're all small. Henley is a 1404 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 1: monster player, but he's six two two twenty five. I'm 1405 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,799 Speaker 1: just I just worry about they're smaller than Terrell Bernard, 1406 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Yeah, So that worries me. UM. 1407 01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 1: I think they got to get one of those top 1408 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,400 Speaker 1: two guys if they want to plug that position with 1409 01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 1: a ready made draft prospect, because outside of those two guys, 1410 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:49,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna they may have to go find a veteran 1411 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,360 Speaker 1: if they don't get one. Back to the tweet sheet, 1412 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:58,760 Speaker 1: Goonies for Life. Their draft crush Darnell Washington. He makes 1413 01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 1: the old line much better and it's a big bodied 1414 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,640 Speaker 1: target in the red zone. You already went on and 1415 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,880 Speaker 1: on about Darniel Washington, so we'll go to the next one. 1416 01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: Matt says, Zay Flowers small receiver, but can do a 1417 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,600 Speaker 1: bit of everything and has speed to burn. He is 1418 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:17,600 Speaker 1: a dynamic player, not a big dude. He added some 1419 01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:19,640 Speaker 1: weight before the combine. I think he got up to 1420 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,920 Speaker 1: one eighty two, but he's five ten one eighty two. 1421 01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,880 Speaker 1: But everybody we've talked to that has paid attention to 1422 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,680 Speaker 1: college tape all season long, they've said, this guy is 1423 01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:36,960 Speaker 1: a touchdown maker and just gets away from people yards 1424 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,360 Speaker 1: after catch, makes difficult catches. Even though he's not a 1425 01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:45,840 Speaker 1: big player, plays bigger than his size, and you know, 1426 01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:50,040 Speaker 1: he's just one of those resolutely confident athletes out on 1427 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:53,280 Speaker 1: the field. So he's probably gonna go in the first 1428 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,639 Speaker 1: round somewhere. But it always, I mean, anytime he put 1429 01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 1: on the tape, so like he's running away from somebody, 1430 01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 1: just getting separated. And all the time he played in 1431 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,720 Speaker 1: Boston College, so you know, the weather wasn't tremendous. You know, 1432 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:07,360 Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about a guy coming up 1433 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,599 Speaker 1: from Miami or whatever and getting used to the coal. 1434 01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's seeing some cold weather and some 1435 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,400 Speaker 1: bad games, so you know, he's one of those guys 1436 01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 1: and you're right his and I you know, you run 1437 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:21,679 Speaker 1: into all this um where all you see is their highlights. 1438 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,760 Speaker 1: Certainly they've probably all of them got as many low 1439 01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:28,560 Speaker 1: lights as they do highlights. But you gotta like what 1440 01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 1: you see. Catches the ball really well. And he's one 1441 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:33,840 Speaker 1: of those guys that when he gets the ball in 1442 01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 1: the secondary and they don't, you know, the guys are 1443 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,960 Speaker 1: trying to tackle him. He's exciting. He looks like he's 1444 01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 1: a you know, the the coaches on the sideline are going, 1445 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 1: oh no, get him, you know, get him, get him, 1446 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,280 Speaker 1: get him, get him, get him. M Yeah, nobody can 1447 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,639 Speaker 1: catch him. So that's that's kind of a cool thing. Yeah, 1448 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 1: and he'd be a great He would be a great addition. 1449 01:25:55,360 --> 01:26:00,800 Speaker 1: Good route runner. Crisp, very patient on his stems, sets 1450 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:04,040 Speaker 1: up the defender. And it's hard to do because you 1451 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,559 Speaker 1: the common mistake most young receivers make, and even pro 1452 01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:14,920 Speaker 1: receivers make as they get they don't have enough faith 1453 01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,920 Speaker 1: in their speed that they can take their time and 1454 01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 1: set defenders up and run their routes. Crisp and give 1455 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,800 Speaker 1: them a little extra on the route, and it's better 1456 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,200 Speaker 1: to make the defender take a false step rather than 1457 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 1: just make a speed cut and let him stay with you. 1458 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:31,559 Speaker 1: If you can make the defender have doubt, that gets 1459 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,840 Speaker 1: you open as much as speed does. So that's a 1460 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: young receivers are coming in more polished. They see him 1461 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,519 Speaker 1: doing that, and Zay Flowers has examples of that all 1462 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 1: through his film. We have to take a break here. 1463 01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,679 Speaker 1: Some final thoughts on the tweet sheet on your first 1464 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,040 Speaker 1: round draft crush for the Bills at pick twenty seven. 1465 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,200 Speaker 1: When we were turning here on one Bills Live presented 1466 01:26:49,200 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 1: by Kalid of Health It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Some final 1467 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,920 Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet here for your round one 1468 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 1: player crush for the Bills at pick twenty seven. Jeremiah 1469 01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:13,880 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, defensive end Zach Harrison from 1470 01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,680 Speaker 1: Ohio State or Jack Campbell from Iowa all day, every day, 1471 01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,439 Speaker 1: twice on Sunday's happy with either one of them. Zach 1472 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:25,280 Speaker 1: Harrison a bit of a pass rushing enigma because he's 1473 01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,720 Speaker 1: seen as a little bit of a tweener. Don't know 1474 01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:30,840 Speaker 1: if he's big enough to set the edge and hold 1475 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,600 Speaker 1: up against the run. So where do you pick a 1476 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,599 Speaker 1: guy that might only be a pass rush specialist. That's 1477 01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:43,280 Speaker 1: the question with him. From Paul Mazzy Smith, dude's an anomaly, 1478 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,680 Speaker 1: huge quick, strong can be a real people mover on 1479 01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:47,519 Speaker 1: the d line, something we've lacked for a while. I 1480 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,880 Speaker 1: doubt they go, oh line. Campbell's nice, but twenty seven 1481 01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 1: seems a bit high for him. Robinson won't be there 1482 01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:58,680 Speaker 1: Mazzy Smith, he says, Darryl says, actual crush Smith, and 1483 01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:01,200 Speaker 1: Jigba He's the best wide receiver in the draft in 1484 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 1: my opinion, won't be there twenty seven though. My crush 1485 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 1: out of necessity, Jack Campbell, and then Justin says, by 1486 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,719 Speaker 1: far Bijean Robinson because he can be a Day one starter, 1487 01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:14,280 Speaker 1: three down back and take pressure off the go Josh Allen, 1488 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,559 Speaker 1: Oh my god, for the Beijean Robinson, Steve, I can't 1489 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 1: do it. Spare me, It's not gonna happen. He I 1490 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,080 Speaker 1: believe that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to take Bijean 1491 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: Robinson with one of their two first round picks. If not. 1492 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,680 Speaker 1: If not, I think it could be the Chargers at 1493 01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:35,360 Speaker 1: twenty one if they successfully trade Austin Eckler, who has 1494 01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 1: asked for a trade. What do you think I don't 1495 01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:42,599 Speaker 1: care about what happens that running back man, Well, neither 1496 01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 1: do I. But I care of Bijean Robinson's the pick. 1497 01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:49,800 Speaker 1: I get it now. I'm I'm all about offense. Let's go. 1498 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,640 Speaker 1: They don't run enough to give a first round pick. 1499 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna run it more? No, what are you gonna 1500 01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 1: do if you want to pass protector or somebody put 1501 01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:02,920 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman back there. I do not care. I'm 1502 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,320 Speaker 1: not interested in handing the ball off. And if you're like, well, 1503 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,640 Speaker 1: you gotta be careful of Josh. Yeah, okay, but you 1504 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:11,080 Speaker 1: know what, defenses don't like Josh Allen. He's a problem. 1505 01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:15,519 Speaker 1: Don't make him less of a problem. Give him, give 1506 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 1: him some guys to worry about on the other end 1507 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 1: of the past, not the front end of the past. 1508 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 1: They got enough to worry about with Josh in the pocket. 1509 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm yeah, I don't care. They can take 1510 01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:26,920 Speaker 1: him be Jean Robinson. But if they're gonna take him, man, 1511 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 1: you gotta use him.
