Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's not commenced with the energy we bring.

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: It's around this time of the calendar year for the

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: NFL scouting departments to have people get up on the

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: table and jump up and down for prospects. Steve Tasker

11
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: is now pounding the table for a new show, a

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: new show open there he is. I know there are

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: some people out there that are tired of me yelling

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: about a blimp. It's also get it. It's also that

15
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: time of the year when we all like puke in

16
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: our sink over the snow on the ground that just

17
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. That is another issue. This is

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: a this is a punch of the gut today it

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: was and and here's the worst part. My wife and

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: I keep our as our MSG viewers are taking a

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: look at the stadium which is snow covered, and it's

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: still coming down. And incidentally, yeah, it might be chilly

23
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: out there. My wife and I make sure to keep

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: a neat and tidy garage to afford us the opportunity

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: to put both our cars in the garage so we

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: don't have to clean off snow and stuff. You know. However, however,

27
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: in our spring cleaning jobs to do this past weekend,

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: we pulled the older coffee table and end tables out

29
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: of the crawl space in the basement. You know, I

30
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: kind of touched them up and stuff. We're gonna try

31
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: to sell them, get something for them, because the new

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: furniture is already in because what else do you do

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: in a pandemic but redo a room and buy furniture. Um,

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: so we're so the older stuff has been transitioned to

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: the garage from the basement after it was cleaned up

36
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: and you know, dust it off and whatever else. So

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: whose spot in the garage was taken? That would be you,

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: That would be me, correct, there is no doubt. So

39
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: if ever, to have a day to not have your

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: car in the garage totally, I had to pull the

41
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: snow scraper out of the back of my car, you know,

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: the little compartment and and get that out of there

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: and wipe off a good four inches off the car. Today,

44
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: not a big deal, But in April you're just like,

45
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: is this really what I want to be doing in

46
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: the morning, uttering to yourself the entire time. Yeah, that

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: I had to I actually had to dig to you know,

48
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: get a coat to wear it? Right? Oh where do

Speaker 1: at the Buffalo estate? We have we got a room.

Speaker 1: We got closet number seven, right, we have at the

Speaker 1: off season, we got a mud room right where, which

Speaker 1: everybody needs in this because you come in sometimes and

56
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: it's yeah, you gotta have a trap. You got to

57
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: have a transition room into the house. Part of the

58
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: house that does it. Well, yeah, that doesn't look like

59
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: the inside of a pig sty. So and that's where

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: we have. We have locked you know, a locker. I

68
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: coming in just you know, I had to bring my

69
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: winter hat out of yeah, because coverage is in for

70
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: me in the winter weather, which I mean, I don't

71
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: have much coverage, so I need a hat. I'm totally

72
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: with you. It was. It's a day supposed to snow

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow too. I'm so glad because I got warned yesterdaytions yeah,

74
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: we might have three inches of snow on the ground tomorrow.

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Hurt it like all day yesterday, so I didn't want

76
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: to believe the accumulation, the ability. I had the chance

77
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: to gird my loins before I had to face that

78
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: this morning, right, so I was kind of ready for it.

79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, you pull the curtains back, man,

80
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: old man, oh boy, twenty twenty still hanging around. So

81
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm totally with you. It's a gut punch, and

82
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: it's supposed to snow a little bit tomorrow, not nearly

83
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the event that we experienced overnight and into this morning,

84
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: but more snow tomorrow. Now, I will give you that.

85
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: I will share a bright spot with you, Steve. Okay,

86
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: a week from today, Okay, day before the draft. Okay.

87
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: The forecast is for seventy three degrees really, so it's coming.

88
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: I believe that the area we're in right now is

89
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: winter three, and I don't think there is any more

90
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: fake spring after winter three. So we had winter one,

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: which is regular winter, then we had winter two, then

92
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: we had fake spring, and now this is winter three,

93
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: and I believe real spring typically follows winter three. So

94
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: we're almost out of the tunnel here. I can feel that,

95
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: and I'm with you, I mean, we all. I'll say

96
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: this though, it was really nice for about two or

97
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: three weeks because it was early, right, it was a

98
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: little early this year. So I can deal with a

99
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: couple of days and I'm kind of a bum that's

100
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: going to maybe bleed into the weekend, you know, the

101
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: recovery from this. Yeah, But I can do it because

102
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: I've had I've been out playing golf already a couple

103
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: of time times, and I'm I'm ready to be you know,

104
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: I can. I can take a bad weekend. I just

105
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: treat it like it's a rainy day instead of a

106
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: snowy day. Yeah, I just stay inside and don't think

107
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: about it and just go on with stuff. So but

108
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: next week will be the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And

109
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: we know, I mean we all know our body are,

110
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, for those of it, and for me, I've

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: been here thirty five years in town, so I'm kind

112
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: of your body clock gets used to these pump fakes. Yeah,

113
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: you know where you come out of spring and it's

114
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: it's March, and it's like wow, okay cool, and it's

115
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: like April, and it's like the year my daughter was

116
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: married married, the year my daughter was born was May seventh,

117
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine, seventeen inches of snow. Who we lived

118
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: at the time. We were living down in the southtowns

119
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: in Colden, so they got six inches in the city.

120
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: We got seventeen inches down there. Yeah, it's a little

121
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: different down in the yeah, southern tier. But I'll say

122
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: this too, by the time she came home, that's seventeen

123
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: inches gone. Yeah. Well, I would hope so in May Gez,

124
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. And we during the pandemic last year, when

125
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,400

128
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: no accumulation. I must just block that stuff out of her.

129
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: It was snowing on May eighteenth last year, because I

130
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: know for a fact it was after Mother's Day, right,

131
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: it was like four days after Mother's Day. I was like,

Speaker 1: with the compressed. I should only have so many weekends.

155
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: I should build a barn and make it into a

156
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: wedding venue. You're gonna you're gonna be getting people married

157
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: on Thursdays, right and Mondays. It's true, there's no dates.

158
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: They're available a weekend. Are you kidding me? They're full.

159
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: Everything's full. You got no time to do anything because

160
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: you didn't do anything last year, and everything has to happen.

161
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: It's crazy. We're all reeling from that. It's this is

162
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: going to be an era in history where it's going

163
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: to take us a while to recover from that. There's

164
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: that there are two do get to a place where

165
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: we don't have to wear masks everywhere. There are two

166
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: main wheelhouses where your calendar in a given year or

167
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: two is just gobbled up by weddings. When you're just

168
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: out of college about three or four years and all

169
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: your friends are getting married, that's all you're doing almost

170
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: every weekend. And then when your kids are in that

171
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: age range where they start getting married, now all of

172
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: your friends kids are getting married, and then you're in

173
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: that wheelhouse. Now that's where you are. I've been in

174
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: that wheelhouse for about a decade. Now, well that's your

175
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: fault for having five kids. Going to say, so you

176
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: and what can I say? But it's true. It's true.

177
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I've been Oh yeah, the year before my wife and

178
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: I got married, all of our friends apparently decided they

179
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: were gonna get married the year before that. So we

180
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: had I am not joking when I tell you this.

181
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: We had thirteen weddings to go to, like Pete, friends

182
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: that were close enough, like, we gotta go thirteen. What

183
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: you'd think with thirteen in one calendar year, you'd have

184
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: some conflicts, none of them conflicted. Really. Now Here you

185
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: are trying to save up money for your own wedding,

186
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: and you gotta go to all your friends' weddings, and

187
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: it's just like, hang right, either check this weekend, let

188
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: me write another. It's like we've got are we gonna

189
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: have enough money for the band hunting? See for me

190
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: and a typical guy talk, he comes back to you, right,

191
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: But typically for us it's tough year. And I are like,

192
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: guys are like this. You know what we should do.

193
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: We should just buy thirteen corkscrews and give those as

194
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: our wedding gift by get them cheap and give them,

195
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, give them all the same gif It'll be

196
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: our thing. Right. My wife's correcting me on text and

197
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: seventeen weddings and your daughter and your and your wives

198
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: are going, we are you cannot give a duplicate gift

199
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: or you lost your mind. Would be we'd be well.

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: And and you know all of those people whose weddings

201
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: we went to, they were going to come to ours.

202
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: So it eventually all comes back to you and it

203
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: turns out being a wash. But when you're trying to

204
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: save up and put a deposit down on the band

205
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: and do that, like it's like the band the venue

206
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: and you're making nineteen and change a year, right at

207
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: the time, it gets a little me. You're making what

208
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: amounts to a long week a little a long weekend

209
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: in Vegas. Is you're really salary basically two jobs. That's

210
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm totally with you. I'm totally

211
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: with you. But uh, that's I get I bet that's

212
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: happening all over too, because I know this. None of

213
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: them this year more than ever because of the pandemic.

214
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: It's just the wedding. The wedding venues were empty there.

215
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: You couldn't you couldn't, couldn't have a group gathering, Like,

216
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: how do you have a wedding with if you can't?

217
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: Nobody did it? You can't have people together. People were

218
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: starting to and we all know this. People were starting

219
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: to get married saying we're gonna have a reception next year,

220
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: or we're gonna do our thing that we have our

221
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: celebration next year. So they get married in a quiet

222
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: little ceremony and then do a party next and it's cheaper.

223
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah right, so I've seen that happen as well. But man,

224
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: oh man, yeah, it is an absolute mess. Well, hopefully

225
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: everybody gets the opportunity to make good on make the

226
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: wait worth it, you know, and gets to have, yeah,

227
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: a real, an appropriate celebration, a momentous occasion like a

228
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: lot of people been waiting a long time, and good

229
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: for the you know, bless their heart. I hope that

230
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: hope everything comes together exactly. They finally get their day

231
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: when they and it'll be fun for him. All right,

232
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Enough about us in this wild tangent. We ran off

233
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: on with with wedding plans from how we get some places,

234
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: but we do want to obviously cover NFL draft ground here.

235
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: We are still, I mean, we're only about twenty four

236
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: hours removed from the Brandon Being press conference yesterday. We're

237
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: going to cover that in detail today and kind of

238
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: weave our way through some of the more poignan comments

239
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: that he made yesterday in his Q and A with

240
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: the media, as he does every year pre draft. And

241
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: as we said yesterday, brand is a guy that is

242
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: very self effacing. He's very honest, and he does it

243
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: in a way where he doesn't give up, you know,

244
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: the secretive details of their planning process that he obviously

245
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: would not want to share for competitive reasons, but he

246
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: still gives you enough to chew on. And so we

247
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: are going to weave our way through some of his

248
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: more poigned comments today. Second hour of the show. Excited

249
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: about this guest. One of the more comprehensive draft guides

250
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: you will find out there. It's put together by one

251
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: Dane Brugler from the Athletic. He did it long before

252
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: he became a hire of the Athletic, but one of

253
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: the more comprehensive draft guides you will find out there.

254
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. I use it as a resource

255
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: every year. And we're going to have him on. He

256
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: has a mock draft and the first three picks in

257
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the first three rounds that he selected four or actually

258
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: the first four rounds our first four picks because they

259
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: don't have a fourth round selection. But we go four

260
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: picks deep with Dane, and we'll do that in the

261
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: second hour of the program. So looking forward to speaking

262
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: with him. Got a couple of questions about a couple

263
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: of prospects I want him to iron out for us

264
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: as far as the risks involved, because we heard Brandon

265
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: Bean talk about this yesterday. Steve, there are a healthy

266
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: number of prospects with medicals that do not provide a

267
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: clear picture even now, and the Bills and thirty one

268
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: other teams, even at this late stage, you know, a

269
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: week before the draft, essentially are STI scrambling to cross

270
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: somets and dot some eyes on the medicals of some

271
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: of these players out there because they did not have

272
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: the combine comprehensive medical exams that they put the players

273
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: through in Indy this year they had the medical re

274
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: check for forty players. But forty compared to three hundred.

275
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: That's a chasm in a scouting department's information guide. It's

276
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: a chasm. Yeah, I think I think it's it's one

277
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: of the wild cards of this entire draft because there

278
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: are going to be some teams who in this draft

279
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: and medical aside or medical included, along with evaluations and

280
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: workouts and things they know and things they've people they've

281
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: talked to and all that, there's going to be some

282
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: teams with less information or different information about prospects than

283
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: other teams have, and that discrepancy is going to cause

284
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: wild fluctuations. You can get teams and we've seen I've

285
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: I've been watching the sports shows. You know, mel kiper

286
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: junior way back in the day, at the time when

287
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: he when he Lambastad the Jets way back in the

288
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: day with Boomer on the exactly, you're gonna get a

289
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: ton of draft analysts going, what are those guys thinking?

290
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: And I actually think it was the Colts that he

291
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: was criticis it was the Colts, It wasn't the Jets.

292
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: And they're ticking at the top of the draft perennially

293
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: for a long time, right, and it's like, what are

294
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: those guys doing. You're gonna get it. You're gonna get

295
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: some of that this year where a guy says, why guy,

296
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: this guy's best a third round talent and they're picking

297
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: him at the middle of this first that kind of thing,

298
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: or a guy who gets picked in the fourth round

299
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: it's like, I had this guy's almost a first rounder,

300
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: or you know that kind of discrepancy you're gonna get.

301
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: You get some of that all the time, but not

302
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: to the degree that we're gonna see it this year.

303
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Discrepancy usually stems from primarily the discrepancy from team to

304
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: team in draft grades primarily stems from how that player

305
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: fits that team's scheme, and such a guy that might

306
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: be a fit for the Steelers in their three four

307
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: defense is completely not a fit for a team that

308
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: plays four three like the Bills. The draft grade is

309
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: going to fluctuate because of that. Every single year. In

310
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: a normal year, some of those guys maybe off the

311
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: Bills board, even though I can really play that kind

312
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: of thing. This year, there are going to be draft

313
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: grade differences for a myriad of reasons. The scheme fit

314
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: will still exist as it always does. But then you're

315
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: talking about how comprehensive is the medical report for the Bills.

316
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: Did they get more medical information on a player that's

317
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: a question mark than maybe the Steelers or the Colts

318
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: or the Bears did, And is their grade higher because

319
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: they cross they checked all the medical boxes they needed,

320
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: they feel good about this guy. The Steelers, the Colts,

321
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: and the Bears might not have that information yet, and

322
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: they might be like, we don't have enough of a

323
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: medical grade on this guy to take him in round

324
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: one or two. He's on the board, but he's in

325
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: round three because we just don't have enough information on

326
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: him to know if he's going to be a two

327
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: year player that comes down with knee problems or an

328
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: eight year player. And so the grade is going to

329
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: be vastly different because of that. And then there are

330
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: going to be guys with medical question marks. Jaylen Phillips

331
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: perfect example, guy had three concussions in very rapid succession,

332
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: left football, quit the game, and then was convinced by

333
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: the University of Miami to come back play last year.

334
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: Lit the world on fire at the defensive end position

335
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: and looks like a Juggernaut player. But thirty two different

336
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: teams are going to grade his medical history, including the

337
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: concussion history differently, So the grades are going to vary

338
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: widely because of the medical number one and then number two.

339
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: Which gms are risk averse and which gms are willing

340
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: to roll the dice on a talent that impressive and

341
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: where that talent comes up for grabs is huge too.

342
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: If if a guy like Jayalen Phillips comes up at

343
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: pick number one, oh one, mm, yeah, there's a lot

344
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: more gems that will roll on that. But if it

345
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: comes up at twelve, I don't know, that's a big

346
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: difference as well. And it's which team gets It's which

347
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: team wants to roll those dice first when they get

348
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: a chance to that does it? And a guy like

349
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: and there's also thirty two different opinions about what Jalen

350
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: Phillips his what their opinion is about the fact that

351
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: he was what to give up the game? Right? Why

352
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: were you? I mean, you know he had three concussions

353
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: in rapid successions, so you understand, at least partially on

354
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: the surface, why that decision was made. I mean, you're

355
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: talking about your long term future, your brain health. I mean,

356
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: that's nothing to be trifled with. But NFL clubs want

357
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: to know, like, if I draft you and you have

358
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: another concussion, are you gonna walk away again? And now

359
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: I've just wasted a first round pick on a guy

360
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: that played six games for us. It's a real conversation

361
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: and what changed your mind? Why did you come back?

362
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: What did you find out or what happened that changed

363
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: your mind about your personal health because it was just

364
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: if it was just about money, A lot of gems

365
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: are smart to say, that's not what we want. We

366
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: don't want a kid that's going to come in and

367
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: just do this, cash in for a minute, and then

368
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: just bail on the first time he has a headache.

369
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating because and it's it's a serious issue because

370
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: and most people will say, listen, if he's got three

371
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: concussions or whatever, if he has another concussion, nobody bats

372
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: an eye. If a guy bails on his career, no problem.

373
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: I understand completely but they don't want to pay a

374
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: guy like a guy they're going to count on for

375
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: a decade, ten years instead of just ten games. They

376
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: can't they can't do that responsibly. And it's obvious when

377
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: you talk it through like this, why this is a

378
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: huge concern for teams and why Jalen Phillips has some

379
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: real flags on his prospect file. And then you take

380
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: it as step further and you say, okay, what else

381
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: could cause draftboard fluctuation? So already we've got scheme fit,

382
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: which always creates draft grade discrepancies from team to team.

383
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: We've got medical holes that are probably going to exist

384
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: on some players for some teams that will force teams

385
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: to say, well, without the full medical, we got to

386
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: push him down the board because we're not sure. Then

387
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: you have the risk averse nature of certain gms and

388
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: other gms that are willing to take risks and swing

389
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: big and hope to hit on players even as early

390
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: as the first round. We've seen that before. So those

391
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: are three factors right there. Then roll in this the

392
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: players who opted out and haven't played on a football

393
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: field in eighteen months, that is going to cause draft

394
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: grade discrepancy. Well, we really like his junior tape, he

395
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: was really on the come, but he sat out last year.

396
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: University of Miami defensive end Greg Rousseau, for example, guy

397
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: had fifteen and a half sacks as a junior in

398
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. So one year starter didn't play last year,

399
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: opted out and you know whatever his reason was, fine,

400
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, pandemic related. Obviously opted out. What's he gonna be?

401
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: You don't have like, oh, you know what he was?

402
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Really we thought he was gonna be a superstar let

403
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: what no twenty twenty tape? Oh geez, And that's now

404
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: that makes the projection harder. And even the guys who

405
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't opt out. Six games here, seven games there, two

406
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: games played, two weeks of two more games, COVID delay,

407
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: three weeks in the middle of the season, all of

408
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: that stuff. It compromises the effectiveness by which scouts can

409
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: grade guys and feel good about the grade that they

410
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: give him. And so the question there is, and every

411
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: case is probably going to be different, Steve, how much

412
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: do you ding this guy? How much do you curb

413
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: the projection? Like you look at Greg Rousseau's physical tools,

414
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: his tape in his twenty nineteen season, you're looking at

415
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: that guy, going, guy's a first round pick, but then

416
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't play in twenty twenty, and it's like can

417
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: he carry that trajectory after a year and a half off?

418
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: Think about this. You got to grade the player. You

419
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: have to evaluate does he fit your scheme? Does he

420
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, do you have enough medical you know? Does

421
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: he fit your scheme? You great? How good a player

422
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: he is? And then you've got a grade also your

423
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: evaluation is this? Is this an evaluation one hundred percent

424
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: sure about or is this taking your reputation on that kid? Right?

425
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Are we? Is this guy's evaluation an A plus or

426
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: is it a C minus? That what we know about him?

427
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: How much do we know about him? Is it a

428
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: how do you grade to a percentage? Is one hundred

429
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: percent we're sold on this guy? Or is it sixty

430
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: two percent? We think we know who he is and

431
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: we're pretty sure, but there's a lot of stuff we're missing,

432
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: and you got to grade your evaluation, let alone the player. Yeah,

433
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: and we heard Brandon being say yesterday, the medical is

434
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: a mess. Right now, thirty two NFL teams are scrambling

435
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: to cross all the teas and got all the dyes

436
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: on eyes on the medical reports with their medical staff.

437
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, their medical staff is working phones

438
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: and connections and every person they know in the medical

439
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: field that can possibly get a scrap of evidence on

440
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: a medical report on a player that's got question mark,

441
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: they are trying to. They're beating the bushes trying to

442
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: get as much information as they can because in the draft,

443
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: more than anything else, information is power. Right. We hear

444
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: it every year we go to the combine and we

445
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be fun to see how these guys

446
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: run these forties. They're gonna see him lifting vertical. We're

447
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to look at him like in

448
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: person with these other guys, and the clubs are going,

449
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't care. The number one thing. I want to

450
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: get my doctor's hands on that guy. You want, you

451
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: want a testament as to how important player safety is.

452
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: That's it. They know that the health of these players

453
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: is the paramount factor in how good a pro they're

454
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: going to be. Their availability on a week to week basis.

455
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: That's all the testimony you need about how the league

456
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: feels about how physical their game is. They know it.

457
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: They cannot get enough information about how physically durable these

458
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: guys are going to be and Brandon being said it.

459
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: This morning he appeared on w GR Radio, which is

460
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: where we appear here in Buffalo every day Monday to Friday,

461
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: and he was on with Howard and Jeremy this morning

462
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: and he said, yes, there are players who due to

463
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: medical we have taken off our board completely. Yeah. Now

464
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: there are some every year that fall into that category.

465
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: The follow up question to that is are there more

466
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: this year than you've typically had in recent years? And

467
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, if we get a chance to ask Brandon

468
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: that question, we probably will, But I wouldn't be surprised

469
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: if the answer is yes, there are more, just not

470
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: because there are more kids with medical issues, but because

471
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: there are more kids that they don't have the full

472
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: medical on. It's it's due to lack of information. Yeah.

473
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: And then then he just they're just dying to know.

474
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: Is there anybody that we would have taken had we

475
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 1: had the medical and did somebody else and did they

476
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,239
Speaker 1: somebody else take him? And did they get lucky? Did

477
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: they get lucky? Yeah? That's what that's what am I getting. Yeah,

478
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, and and believe you me Brandon and his

479
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: scouting department, I mean, you want to talk about no

480
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: stone unturned. I mean these guys. These guys would call

481
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: the local mailman that delivers mail to the prospect's house

482
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: if he had any information worth while. Think about it.

483
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: When he came out of Ohio State, Keith Buyers, huge back,

484
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: one of the great pass catching time backs in the world,

485
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: was in the in the league his and he was big,

486
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: very nimble feet, played long time in the league, very

487
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: productive guy. Everybody passed on because he had a broken foot.

488
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: A broken foot, Yeah, he falls down. I think what

489
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: Philly gets him? He plays for Philly forever and then

490
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: played for the Dolphins, played for the Dolphins later. The

491
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: guy was enormous, had really light feet, could run around,

492
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: he was a physical then. Yeah, and because they weren't

493
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: willing to wait six months for a broken foot to heal. Yeah,

494
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: that's how that's how messed up at it. That's when

495
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: all these teams have passed on him and got this

496
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: guy that played for one years out of the league.

497
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: That guy's out of the league. That guy's out of

498
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: the league. This guy played forever at a really important

499
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: place and played very well. And because he hit a

500
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: busted foot, there'll be teams this year in the draft

501
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: that turn away from players for the similar reasons. All right,

502
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: similar reasons, there's no question about it. But knowing that

503
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: Brandon being addressed the media yesterday, had a ton to say,

504
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: and we'll go over some of his more pointing comments

505
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show, we wanted to

506
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: kind of tweak some of what we were talking about yesterday.

507
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: We didn't really get a chance to flesh out yesterday's

508
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, which was what do you think Brandon's Bean's

509
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: biggest challenges going into this draft? And we had choices

510
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: for you yesterday. We'll try to revisit some of your

511
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: comments on the tweet sheet yesterday because we never got

512
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: to we got so jam packed with Brandon Bean's press

513
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: conference carried live here on the show, among other things.

514
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: But we wanted to ask you today, did Brandon Bean's

515
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: comments on Tuesday change your thinking about what the Bills

516
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: approach to this year's draft would be? And you can

517
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: give us any answer you want on that subject eight

518
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five

519
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty to get on board with us.

520
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Open lines for you there or hit us up on

521
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, and I do want to go to

522
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: the phones before we go to break here in this

523
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: first segment because Jack and cheek Towaga has been waiting

524
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: there patiently. Jack, what do you have for us? You're

525
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live, Good afternoon, all right, guys, just

526
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: keep speculative draft question for you, okay? And would the Bills,

527
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: if they have no first round of value assigned to

528
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: their pick at number thirty, would they entertain trading with

529
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: number thirty three or number thirty four in the second

530
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: round a team that wants to jump up and get

531
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: their guy now and get the five year contract, And

532
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: could they get a fourth round pick for that and

533
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: fill in that void in this draft is supposedly it's

534
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: a draft that's very strong through the third and fourth rounds. Yeah,

535
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: it's Jack, Yes, at thirty three? And could you trade

536
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: thirty three to somebody in the same situation who wants

537
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: somebody now and get a three and a four? Could

538
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: a three out of four? No, you probably be more

539
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: likely to get a three four Jack, Jack, You'd probably

540
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: be more likely to get a three and a four

541
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: for somebody trading into the first round for the thirtieth pick,

542
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: Then you would have three and a four for the Oh,

543
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: I see what you mean. You mean to trade twice

544
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: and twice. Yes, that's certainly possible, Jack, and we've talked

545
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: about that a ton, because yeah, and Brandon being mentioned

546
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: it yesterday. If there's somebody who wants to jump up

547
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: into the late first round just because of that five

548
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: year option, that's absolutely something that's done, and done quite

549
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: a bit. In fact, you said, Brownie said yesterday, and

550
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: from between twenty and thirty two on average, on averast

551
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: three years, the last an average of four trades between

552
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: the twentieth pick and the thirty second pick, with teams

553
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: climbing back in because they want that controlled cost of

554
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: getting a guy at a controlled salary for one extra year,

555
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: that fifty year option that exists for first round draft.

556
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: So that's exactly what happens, Jack, and I appreciate the call.

557
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: And that's why you're right. You're exactly right. Look for

558
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: if if the Bills have only got twenty five guys

559
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: that they think's first round, they'll wait, but they gotta

560
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: wait till somebody calls them, wants to know if if

561
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: they can take that thing. They may have to pick

562
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: it because they gotta wait for their phone to ring.

563
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: But Brandon Bean has said he would not be surprised

564
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: at all if his phone doesn't ring at number thirty one,

565
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: somebody wanting to jump back into the first round. And

566
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, that's why on draft night, a

567
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: team who makes their pick always waits till the end

568
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: of the clock to make that pick because they don't

569
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: know that the phone's not going to ring and they'll

570
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: be able to get something for it. That's why these

571
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: guys always take every second of the clock they want.

572
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: And we had our intern, Dante lasting asked that question,

573
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: that very question that Jack is posing. We had him

574
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: ask that very question of Brandon being on the press

575
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: conference yesterday. Because Steve and I were on the air,

576
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: we couldn't ask it ourselves, and that was essentially the

577
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: answer he gave. We will give you that exact answer

578
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: when we come back, but phone lines are open. Eight

579
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,280

582
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: year's draft? Did he change your thoughts about what you

583
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: think the Bills might do? Let us know eight three

584
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: five fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty

585

Speaker 1: open line for you there, we'll get you Brandon Bean's

586
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: comments about the exact scenario that Jack from Cheek Dowaga

587
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: brought up, the likelihood of moving out at pick thirty.

588
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: That's next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Health.

589
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

590
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on a hump

591
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Day Wednesday edition of the show, and we're going to

592
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: bring you some of the more noteworthy comments from GM.

593
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean in his press conference with the media the

594
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: pre draft edition, as he does every year, and when

595
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: we last left off, Jack and Cheek Dowaga was talking

596
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: about the merits of trading down and out of the

597
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: first round for the Bills, who currently sit at the

598
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: pick thirty. So we'll let Brandon speak on this and

599
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: then we'll flesh it out even more. But here is

600
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Brandon being addressing the strategy in the draft of moving

601
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: up or moving down. If we get to pick thirty

602
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: and we've got nobody at the bottom of one, you know,

603
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: on our board, and it's in two and maybe it's

604
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: at the top of two. You're like, hey, that's close enough,

605
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: we'll take it. But if if the highest player would

606
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: be way down in two, that's where we're going. Man,

607
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: we need to move back, or you know the scenario earlier,

608
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: we need to get up before our board gets cleaned out.

609
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: So basically what he's saying there is they're gonna go

610
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: by what their board tells them to do. They've spent

611
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: the better part of the last calendar year putting their

612
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: draft board together. It's there for a reason. They use

613
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: it as a roadmap for the decisions that they may

614
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: on the three days of the draft. And if their

615
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: first round board is completely cleared out and even the

616
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: top half of their second round is barren, right, that

617
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: would prompt them to strongly consider moving out of round

618
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: one and maybe moving back to like thirty seven, thirty eight,

619
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: thirty nine, forty somewhere in there. But as you heard

620
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: him say, Steve, if they have three or four guys

621
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: with high second round grades, like the top of the

622
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: second round, they're just gonna stay there at thirty and

623
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: pick that guy. Yeah, they'll just take him, or yeah,

624
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: unless somebody at thirty four thirty five wants to jump

625
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: up then they can, you know, they can still get

626
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: their guy and pick up an extra third round or

627
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: that kind of If there's four guys left and only

628
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: six teams between them and their guy, they kind of

629
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: got a chance of getting one of the guys they'd like,

630
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: So they could still drop back and get one of

631
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: those guys in a high second. But if there's a

632
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: guy that's a little bit better than all of those

633
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: and they want to get him, they'll do it. But

634
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: it all makes a lot of sense if they have

635
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: the confidence. I think two. The thing that comes out

636
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: of this, and we've been talking about how tough these

637
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: evaluations is going to be, doesn't matter how tough it's

638
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: been when it starts, whatever the board says, that's what

639
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: they gotta do. Whatever they say they gotta do. They

640
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: gotta trust their evaluation process as incomplete and as as

641
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: different as it has been this year, they have no choice.

642
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: And I agree with that. If you like it or not,

643
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: let's go. Brandon has said the way that they operate

644
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: is moving back is more it's less likely, and his

645
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: history and the draft in the three years he's presided

646
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: over Buffalo's draft is proof of that. They've moved up.

647
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: They've never moved back under Brandon Bean. And what you

648
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: have is a situation where if they have seven players

649
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: on their board that they're comfortable drafting at thirty, but

650
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: somewhere between thirty and thirty five, and they're on the

651
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: clock at thirty and they have having guys on their

652
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: board they're comfortable drafting, you know, in the range of

653
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: thirty to thirty five, they'll slide back to thirty five

654
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: because they know they can get one of those seven guys.

655
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: There's only six picks, they pick up a fourth rounder,

656
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: right but short of that, if there's enough guys at

657
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: the top of the second round on their board still

658
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: sitting there, they'll probably just sit there at thirty and

659
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: take one of them. Because he said yesterday he does

660
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: not like if there's a guy they like enough and

661
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: the grade is close enough to where they're picking at thirty,

662
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: they don't see value in sliding back and then hoping

663
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: the guys there just take him at thirty and figure

664
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: the rest out later. That's kind of been his approach.

665
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty open line for you

666
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: there one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Did

667
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean's comments on Tuesday, change your thinking on what

668
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: you believe the Bills approach to this year's draft will be.

669
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: You can let us know there we go back to

670
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: the phones and leading us off here is Mark and

671
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: Amherst Mark, what do you have for us here on

672
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. Hey, thanks for the time, guys. Sure,

673
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of fans. Historically, you know, we

674
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: have been middling or usually drafting at the top, and

675
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: we've always talked about accumulating more picks. But in a

676
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: year where we made it to the FC Championship, where

677
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: we're looking to move forward, to take that next step,

678
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: I really want to see Brandon get aggressive and jump

679
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: forward and find a guy that can be a year

680
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: one contributor. And I know that we like trying to

681
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: find value and adding backups and getting strength, so we

682
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: have people on rookie contracts as we have to pay

683
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: our quarterback. But I really really would love to see

684
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: us make a move. And I know that Kyle Pitts

685
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: probably won't be their past four or five, but what

686
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: if he slides down to ten. Do you see us

687
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: packaging our first and maybe a second or third and

688
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: maybe Mitch Morse and moving forward to try to grab

689
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: somebody like that that could be a generational talent that

690
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: could really move us forward for years to come. Yeah,

691
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't see a giant move up the board to

692
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: a place like ten, as a matter of fact, being

693
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: addressed that specifically yesterday and thanks for the call, Mark,

694
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't expect a giant move up the board to ten.

695
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: And here's why. It's too costly in terms of draft

696
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: capital to make that kind of a move from thirty.

697
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: You're talking twenty picks up the board. It's a giant

698
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: move in round one and a costly one. And the

699
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: reason why I believe the Bills do not want to

700
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: part with draft capital in twenty twenty two and in

701
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three is because you're going to have the

702
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: giant quarterback contract on your salary cap. You're probably going

703
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: to be paying Josh Allen somewhere in the neighborhood of

704
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: forty to forty two million dollars a year on a

705
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: long term deal. And once that happens, the way you

706
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: construct your roster year over a year with a franchise

707
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: quarterback at a giant salary on your roster, it turns

708
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: to the draft more than ever because it is cheaper labor,

709
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: and so if you're parting with a first round pick

710
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two in the first year that you

711
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: really need that guy, an impact player, and now you

712
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: don't have that because you mortgage the future to get

713
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: a guy. Now, I don't see Brandon Bean doing something

714
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: of that magnitude, and I think so. I think that

715
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: I have made it clear to Brownie and in weeks

716
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 1: past that I don't believe that the team is sitting

717
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: there thinking if we just had one more guy, or

718
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: if we just did this better, or if we did

719
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: do that. If there's no magic elixir that's all of

720
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: a sudden gonna make the Bills able to beat the Chiefs.

721
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: The Bills could beat the Chiefs this year if they

722
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: just played better on Championship Sunday. They they've got the guy,

723
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: they got the horses to do that. Now, it's not

724
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: like they got the gotta had to do this, A,

725
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: B and C to get over some proverbial hump. All

726
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: they gotta do is play better on game Day. They

727
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: got the guys already. They can beat anybody in the league,

728
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: anybody on any Sunday, but they got to play well.

729
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: They got to play better against some teams than they

730
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: do against others in order to win. But there's no

731
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: team in the league that is impossible for the Bills

732
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: to beat. Chiefs included, Bucks included. You just gotta play

733
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: well on that day. So there's no reason to mortgage

734
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: all this stuff and say because if we get Kyle

735
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: Pitts were, we are better than the Chiefs automatically. Do

736
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: you think anybody's gonna believe that? No, nobody will. I mean,

737
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: you may, you may think it, now I don't. They're

738
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: already good enough to beat that team, but you gotta

739
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: play well on that day. That's not what happened on

740
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game Sunday. So I'm not on board with

741
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: going all in because we gotta get over the hump

742
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: to beat the chief No. Now, I will say, and

743
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: Brandon's dressed this yesterday. If there's a small move, like

744
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: say somebody's sliding, and they can get up to twenty six.

745
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: For example, who, by the way, is that's a pick

746
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: owned by Cleveland, and Cleveland said if we move anywhere,

747
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: we're likely to move down right, which I thought was

748
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: very interesting. So they're open for business at twenty six.

749
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: If the Bill see somebody sliding and want to go

750
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: up four spots that I think is a doable proposition

751
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I could see that happening, but getting

752
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: up to ten No, Tim and Arcade, Tim and north Tonawanda,

753
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: Charlie and Buffalo hang tight. We will get to you

754
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

755
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

756
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Jasker with you jumping right back on

757
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: the phone lines as we're asking you to Brandon Bean's

758
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: comments in the media yesterday, change your thoughts on the

759
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 1: approach the Bills might take in the draft. Next week

760
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: we go to Tim and Arcade, who has been waiting patiently. Tim,

761
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: what do you have for us here on One Bills Live.

762
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Must see the thing yesterday and I get out of

763
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: it the heat he could possibly go up, just as

764
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: like he's going down to dependant who's there and what

765
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: it would take to move up? And I was just

766
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: wondering to you guys, how much would it take to

767
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: move up to get a guy like Parsons? And if

768
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to get Parsons, I love Zavan Collins

769
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: and Murray too, And I don't know if he would

770
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: be interested in moving up at all if he had

771
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: to to get any of those guys. Yeah, here's what

772
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: you're looking at. If you're if you want to move

773
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: up to let's say you just want to move up

774
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: to number twenty five from thirty, you have to give

775
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: up a fourth round pick to do that with a

776
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: value chart, which the Bills don't have, so you'd you're right,

777
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: So the Bills would have to and even two thirds

778
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't even get two thirds would not even get in

779
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: the ballpark. So thirds you mean two fives? Two fives, Yeah,

780
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: two fives they would you know that one sixty one

781
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: pick in the one seventy four pick, wouldn't they'd laugh

782
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: at you. So if you want to move up five spots,

783
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: you need to give him a fourth round four that

784
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: they year, and that's that you'd switch picks. You'd get

785
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth pick, they'd get your thirtieth pick. You'd

786
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: give them your fourth round pick, which the Bills can't

787
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: because they don't have one, and that would move you

788
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: up five spots a fourth round pick. So that's kind

789
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: of where you're at it. The Bills don't have a

790
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, and that's kind of a valuable pick.

791
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: You give a third round pick. If you're willing to

792
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: give up your third round pick from thirty, you can

793
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: get all the way to twenty three, twenty three, or

794
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: twenty four. So if you trade your guy, if you're

795
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: doing you trade your first and your third round pick

796
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: this year to take a guy at twenty two, twenty three,

797
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: twenty four, you you better really liked it. And I

798
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: hate to tell Tim, but I would not even dream

799
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: about Micah Parsons because he's gonna be off the board

800
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen picks, so he's not even gonna

801
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: come close to the Bills getting a sniff at him.

802
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: Zaven Collins. While I think the chance is better, I

803
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: think he's too much of an athletic anomaly to last

804
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: all the way to pick thirty. Super instinctive player can

805
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: rush off the edge six five, two sixty runs a

806
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: four to sixty nine. I mean, it's just he's an

807
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: athletic anomaly, and those guys do not last to pick

808
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: thirty in draft, so it's gonna be hard. Bills fans

809
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: are not used to this. They're not used to waiting

810
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: through all hours of the night for the Bills to

811
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: pick this late in the draft. But it's there's a

812
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: good reason why they're picking this late. They're a good

813
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: football team. Yeah, you just gotta have to be more

814
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: patient than you're used to being. They're not picking at ten, twelve,

815
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: or fifteen anymore. It is just so expensive and it

816
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: costs you so much draft capital to move up even

817
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: you can't even get into The Bills won't even be

818
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: able to get into the top twenty this year unless

819
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: they have a player they're willing to part with, which

820
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: is a possibility. You could see what about this if

821
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: you know you're throwing a guy like Isaiah Hodgins or

822
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: even Isaiah McKenzie or one of the the other guys

823
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: would probably be a guy in a rookie contract like

824
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgens from last year, or even a guy like

825
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney, who we've heard is going to be healthy

826
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: and all that. You get a big tight end and

827
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, those kind of players on their rookie deals.

828
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: You could say, Okay, we'll put We'll throw these two

829
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: guys in with a pick. But that's what you're talking about.

830
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: The Bills having to do because they do not have

831
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: the draft capital to get anywhere into or near the

832
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: top twenty. They just can't do it. They don't take

833
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: a lot, they don't have enough picks this year. I'm

834
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: talking future draft choices to get up there and hire

835
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: future draft choices. So it's really impossible. So you know,

836
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about Kyle Pitts and

837
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: and you know Simmons or whatever, all these guys, you're

838
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: just not gonna be able to jump that high to

839
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: get them. But take heart, you're drafting thirtieth because you

840
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: got a really good roster and it's gonna be hard

841
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: for these guys to make the club. And anybody you

842
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: get that's a contributor at thirty is going to be

843
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: gravy to me, so at least as to me. But

844
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, they're gonna be searching. They're gonna

845
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: get a good player, no question about it. I think

846
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: a couple of they're pretty good. At least three really

847
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: good players out of this draft at the top, and

848
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: the rest of them will be maybe, you know, when

849
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: they get to the fifth two fifth round picks, in

850
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: the sixth round pick, if they get any contributions from

851
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 1: those three picks this year. It is absolutely a cherry

852
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: on the cake of the draft. For one Tim to

853
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: another Tim in north Tonawanda, what do you have for us?

854
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: You're on one bills live pretty much the samything you've

855
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: been talking about it. I don't think they're gonna move

856
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: up in the first more than a couple of slots

857
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: at the very most. But I think the second is

858
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 1: open if they include a pick from next year, possibly

859
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: a second to get to the top of this year's sect.

860
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: The value is somewhere around thirty to thirty eight, and

861
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: I think maybe it's worth going after it. It's kind

862
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: of to get your perspective on that. You mean, from

863
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: you'd get a second. He wants to move up in

864
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: round two to between thirty five thirty eight. Oh, I

865
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: got you from where they are at sixty one. Now,

866
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: that is another giant leap. I mean that, I know

867
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: it's round two and the cost isn't as steep, but

868
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: it's still pretty sizeable. That's not an easy move and

869
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: you better really love that guy if you're going up

870
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: that far to do it, because you're probably mortgaging the

871
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: rest of your draft this year and it will if

872
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: not a decent pick next year, you'll do it. It

873
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: will cost you two mid round picks next year, right

874
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: in the meat of the run of four. You wish

875
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: you had two fours. You wish you had two fours

876
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: instead of two fives this year. It would be an

877
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: enormous difference in talent wise, forget about trading in and

878
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: out of it. This draft has got some guys that

879
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: are gonna go between two, three and four rounds of

880
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: this draft. So I'm with you. If you could trade

881
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: out of the thirty spot, get a thirty eight spot

882
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: and then pick up a ninety or it'd be better

883
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: off moving back then trying to trade up from sixty one. Right,

884
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: you can still get You'll get really good players in

885
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: this draft in the second, third, fourth rounds, and I

886
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: think if you can pick up more picks in those spots,

887
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: it's a better move than to move up four spots

888
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: for one guy and kick two other guys that might

889
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: be really good players to the curb without ever knowing

890
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: who they're going to be. All Right, we have to

Speaker 1: some time, and we're going to jump right into this

919
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: because we had Brandon Bean who gave his pre draft

920
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday with the media, as most general managers

921
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: do this time of year, and I was struck by

922
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: his description of the medical holes that are out there

923
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: on players this year. With no combine, it is full

924
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: on scramble mode for thirty two teams to get all

925
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: the medical t's crossed and eyes dotted on these players.

926
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: With that in mind, Dane, do you think this might

927
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: be one of the most conservative drafts in terms of

928
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: how general managers pick players this year than we've seen

929
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: in a while. I think that's a very fair assumption.

930
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: And it's not just the not having the combine. We

931
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: have to remember two area scouts have not been on

932
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: the road in the fall to talk to the trainers

933
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: and a strength staff and get all these little details

934
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: about oh, he missed two games last year, that about

935
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: or uh, you know, who's really spending time in the

936
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: weight room and who's spending time with treatment and getting

937
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: better and taking care of their body. So there's a

938
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: lot of things just you know, pieces of the puzzle

939
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: that we usually have in a normal draft process that

940
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: we don't have this year. They combine, obviously being the

941
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: big one, you know, if they try to supplement that

942
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: with each prospect going to a local medical facility to

943
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: get treatment, to get a full evaluation, and then about

944
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty players have gone to Indianapolis here

945
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: the last three weeks to get a more thorough evaluation

946
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: with NFL doctors. But it's it's late, first of all,

947
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: it's late in the process. And it's funny. I'm talking

948
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: to a scout last week about how going to draft

949
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: meetings this week, how you know, how nervous he is.

950
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: He's crossing his fingers, crossing his toes that we're not

951
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: going to find out about oh one of his you

952
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: know player that we gave a high grade to all

953
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 1: of a sudden find out he's got a bad back

954
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: or something about a shoulder, and you just in there's

955
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: no you know, arguing with the with the team doctor,

956
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 1: the medical staff. If they say you can't draft them,

957
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: there's no there's no debate. You take them off the list.

958
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: And so the medical part of this entire process is

959
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: certainly something that we're piecing together a lot of late information,

960
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: and I think it's fair to say, yeah, we're going

961
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: to see a lot of teams, and it's not just

962
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: the medicals, it's the character stuff too. You know, there's

963
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,479
Speaker 1: fewer chances to get to know these players really missing

964
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: those thirty visits. You know, each team in the normal

965
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 1: draft process can invite thirty players to your facility where

966
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: you can spend you know, thirty six hours with them,

967
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: get to know them as people, not just as players

968
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: and what you see on tape. Just get a sense

969
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: if they're gonna vibe with your culture, get a vibe

970
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: with how they interact with your with your coaches and

971
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: people are on the football buildings. So the character the

972
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: medical two very important parts of the evaluation process. We

973
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of that information, uh, you know, especially

974
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: teams with their resources, but it's just different than past years.

975
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: So to say that maybe they'd be a little bit

976
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: more conservative this year. I think that's a fair statement. Well,

977
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: you put in the work to put together your seven

978
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: round mock draft. I'm gonna ask you off the top,

979
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: give us your take on which positions on this draft

980
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: board are rich and which ones are scarce. Well, the

981
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: scarce is easy. That's defensive tackle. It is one of

982
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: the worst defensive tackle classes we've seen in a long time.

983
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna see a few guys go early, Christian Barmore

984
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: of Alabama and Levi Ownzarique from Washington. They'll probably be

985
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: top fifty picks, but then there's a big gap after that,

986
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: and a few players that you like, maybe sneak in

987
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: the top one hundred, but the depth just isn't there.

988
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: You're not If you want a defensive tackle, you better

989
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: get your guy early because you're not going to be

990
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: able to wait. On the flip side. You look at

991
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver, it's another strong class. You look at pass rusher,

992
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: we don't have that top ten pass rusher this year,

993
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: or that Chase Young or that Miles Garrett that no

994
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Top five pick. But it's once you

995
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: get to the back half a round one and into

996
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: the second round, it's a pretty strong group, and there's

997
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting, yet flawed pass rushers that I think,

998
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, Buffalo is right in the mix with some

999
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: of those guys. I think you look at corner, it's

1000
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: another strong group at cornerback, and I think you have

1001
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: to mention quarterback, just because we're going to set some

1002
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: quarterback records probably this year. If we see quarterbacks go one, two, three, four,

1003
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: first time that's ever happened. If we have five quarterbacks

1004
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 1: going in the top ten, that would be the first

1005
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: time that has ever happened. And if we have at

1006
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: least seven quarterbacks go in the first two rounds, that's

1007
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: something else that has never happened before that has at

1008
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: least a decent chance of happening in this draft. So quarterback,

1009
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: pass rusher, cornerback, wide receiver, and then offensive tack will

1010
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: as well. It's worth mentioning offensive tackle and really offensive

1011
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: line as a whole. It's a really strong offensive line group.

1012
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: So Dane taking the edge rusher situation a step further here,

1013
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned that the Bills, in terms of

1014
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: where they're picking, they'll be in the range presumably to

1015
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: have some viable choices at that position, and we know

1016
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: with Jerry Hughes in the final year of his contract,

1017
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: Mario Addison with avoidable year in twenty twenty two on

1018
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: his deal. They got to kind of have a little

1019
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: bit of an influx of youth there to pair with

1020
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: aj Epenesse from last year. But as you mentioned, all

1021
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: these guys have some flaws. So who do you feel

1022
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: the best about down in that range you know you're talking, Well,

1023
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe Jaalen Phillips may not be there now,

1024
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: but there's a guy that walked away from football due

1025
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: to concussions. What's his commitment to the game. Then you've

1026
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: got Greg Rusto who opted out last year and didn't

1027
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: look all that good at his Pro day. And then

1028
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: you've got a guy like Joe Tryon and I think

1029
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 1: he didn't get a lot of playing time this year.

1030
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: So if you've got three guys like that to choose from,

1031
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: or any one of those guys and Jason Oway whose

1032
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: production isn't there even though his measurables are off the charts,

1033
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,479
Speaker 1: So maybe just give me your assessment of those four

1034
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: in particular, and if there are guys you'd shy away

1035
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 1: from more than another in that group. Yeah, And that's

1036
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: that's a great you know four name right there. They're

1037
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: really intriguing and kind of like we set it up

1038
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: interesting yet flawed. And with Jason Jason noway, to me,

1039
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: it might be the most interesting and one of the

1040
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: most interesting the entire draft. He's the freakiest of the freaks.

1041
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: Six to five, two hundred and sixty pounds. We're in

1042
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: a four three, seven and a forty yard dash thirty

1043
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: nine and a half inch vert under seven seconds in

1044
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: the three cone. And you see that on film. It's

1045
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: he's not just a great tester. You see that on

1046
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: the field and when you watch him, yeah, he didn't

1047
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: have any sacks, but you know, throwing the Indiana tape

1048
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: and he is consistently getting to the backfield. He is

1049
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: consistently affecting what the quarterback is doing and disrupting that

1050
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: rhythm of the offense. So, uh, you know, the obviously

1051
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: you want your quarter or your pass rusher to get

1052
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and put up big sack numbers. But

1053
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: what is the main goal of a pass rusher. That's

1054
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: to disrupt the quarterback and affect what they're doing. And

1055
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: I think Jason Oway can do that. Even though he's

1056
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: going to be. You know, I'm sure if Jason Away

1057
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: were to be the pick, you're gonna hear a lot

1058
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: of fans sales zero sacks, so they blew it. He's

1059
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: a really, really good player, and I think he'll be

1060
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 1: a better pro than college player. Jaylen Phillips is a

1061
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: tough one just because of the concussion history and what

1062
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: that means for his future. I think if you're gonna

1063
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: go just based on on the field, he's a top

1064
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: ten to twelve pick in this raft. You see flashes

1065
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: that reminds you of a Nick Bosa because he understands

1066
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 1: how to use his hands. He has a rush plan

1067
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: with how he's going to get to the quarterback and

1068
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: break down the rhythm of blockers. He can win with power,

1069
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: he can win with quickness. There's a lot to like

1070
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: about Jalen Phillips as as a talent, but when you

1071
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: factor in that, yeah, he u Stela told him, Hey,

1072
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: you we can't clear you. You need to medically retire

1073
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: after three diagnosed concussions. That's obviously not something you just

1074
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: you know overlook that that's something that has to go

1075
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: into your final process. The medical history is along with

1076
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: him and just making sure that you're comfortable with that.

1077
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: His will stay his teammate at Miami, but he actually

1078
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: never played with them because Gregory Rossau opted out of

1079
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: this past year. Ross is really interesting because basically one

1080
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: year of production, one year of tape six six and

1081
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: a half two hundred and sixty six pounds. He was

1082
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: a safety and wide receiver most of his life up

1083
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: until he grew out of those positions, moved to the

1084
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: defensive line as a senior in high school, and he

1085
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: missed his first year at Miami, was hurt. His second year.

1086
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: He was second in the FBS behind only Chase Young

1087
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: in sacks. So you love the production that he put up,

1088
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: but then he opts out this past year, and we're

1089
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: kind of left with some questions about, all right, you know,

1090
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: we love the size, we love the length. He's pretty

1091
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: good get off, but he's not a bendy rusher, And

1092
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: in fact, a lot of his production came when he

1093
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: reduced inside over the A gap and he was able

1094
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: to use that that quick first step and use that

1095
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,919
Speaker 1: length to beat up on some interior blockers. So there's

1096
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: still a lot of questions with Rousseau in terms of

1097
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: patching together as rush moves and Kenny, you know, does

1098
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: he have the counters necessary to win in different ways?

1099
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: So I would not be surprised at all of Rousseau

1100
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: is available for the Bills there in that late first round,

1101
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: or even if you would fall to the second and

1102
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: then Joe try and just to finish out, you know

1103
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: that pass rushers another opt out. But a guy that

1104
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: he just looks like an action figure six five, two sixty,

1105
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: that's what you want it to look like, four six

1106
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: five and a forty yard dash. Actually, his testing numbers

1107
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: are very, very similar to Marcus Davenport, who is a

1108
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: top fifteen pick three years ago for the Saints. I

1109
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: think it's a similar type of projection where there's a

1110
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: lot of raw traits and you're thinking about, okay, what

1111
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: can he be for us? You know, a year from now,

1112
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: two years from now, there's a lot of things that

1113
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: you can work with with him, a lot of foundation

1114
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: traits that you want at the position. One more thing

1115
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: with respect to edge rushers, Dane, and that deals with

1116
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: skill set. Here with more and more quarterbacks who can

1117
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: make plays off script, extend plays, how much more of

1118
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: a premium do you think there is on pass rushers

1119
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: who are quote unquote long chase players and have change

1120
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: of direction agility, because it seems like more and more

1121
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna need that in your edge rushers if a

1122
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: play goes six or seven seconds because the quarterbacks running

1123
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: all over the yard, no question about it. And that's

1124
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: where the three cone drill comes into play, which really

1125
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: helps gauge a player's redirection skills. And then when you

1126
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: watch the tape, Okay, does he have the motor? Is

1127
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: he a guy that you know, once he misses in

1128
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: the pocket he kind of shuts it down a little bit,

1129
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: or is he continuing to hit the gas and chase

1130
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: and make plays from the backside. I think this draft

1131
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: has a few of those guys at pass rushers who

1132
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: really stand out for their motor. You know, Peyton Turner

1133
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: from Houston's one of those guys. He'd be a second

1134
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: round option. You look at Joseph Ossaia Texas relentless pursuit player.

1135
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: He never shuts it down. He flips that switch when

1136
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: he's on the field and he doesn't know how to

1137
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: turn it off, and so there are some questions about

1138
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: him just in terms of being a consistent pass rusher.

1139
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: There are zero questions about his effort, and that's where

1140
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: what you really like about Osai and maybe considering him

1141
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: at some point in the second round. So that is

1142
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: definitely part of the process when you're looking at these

1143
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: pass rushers. One of the other positions that Bills fans,

1144
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: and this this roster seems to be lacking, is a cornerback.

1145
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Number two, you get down to the thirtieth pick, or

1146
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: perhaps a spot where the thirtieth pick could be traded

1147
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: for the thirty fourth or thirty sixth pick somewhere in

1148
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: there to get into the second round, pick up another pick.

1149
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: What kind of cornerbacks are we looking at the bottom

1150
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: of the first round or maybe it at the bottom

1151
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:28,959
Speaker 1: of the first round, maybe a couple of picks ahead

1152
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: of thirty. So if the Bills got a guy they

1153
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: really liked, they jump up to twenty five or twenty six.

1154
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: What range of guy are we looking at there, and

1155
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: how many corners are going to be gone before that? Well,

1156
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: we think Patrick Surtan out of Alabama and JC Horn

1157
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: South Carolina, both those two players should be off the

1158
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: board somewhere in the top fifteen to sixteen picks. And

1159
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: then where does Greg Newsome go the Northwestern corner who

1160
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: six foot hundred ninety two pounds, you know, a really

1161
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: good athlete, He's a route magnet, stays attached down the field.

1162
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: He's a guy that has missed at least three games

1163
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: each of the last three years. That's kind of the

1164
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: issue with him in terms of okay, nothing major, but

1165
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: these soft tissue injuries. That adds up, and we want

1166
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: guys that can be physical, be aggressive, hold up to

1167
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: stay on the field. So Greg Newsom is not going

1168
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: to be for everybody. Could he be in the mix

1169
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: there because at a certain point in the first round,

1170
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: the value is just tremendous, and so I think Greg

1171
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: Newsom is a possibility for maybe, you know, if you

1172
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: want to move up a few spots after that, it

1173
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: gets really interesting. Caleb Farley and Virginia Tech. You know,

1174
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: he you know, we talked about how teams would be

1175
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: more conservative. Caleb Farley is tough to figure out where

1176
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: he's going to go because I think based on just talent,

1177
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: he's in the top ten. He might be the most

1178
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: talented defensive player in this draft. A former high school

1179
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: quarterback goes to Virginia Tech as a wide receiver, moves

1180
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: the corner and two has an eighteen, a position he

1181
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: never played before, and he had two picks in his

1182
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: first career game and the season opener against Florida State.

1183
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: You watch the speed, especially for a guy that size.

1184
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: He's sober six two thirty three and a half inch arms.

1185
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he has the length that makes a lot

1186
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: of offensive lineman jealous. Speed is outstanding. The burst is different,

1187
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, you don't see guys with that type of

1188
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: bursts very often. And then just the natural ball instincts

1189
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 1: that he shows. So basically, if he has a clean

1190
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: bill of health, we're looking at Caleb Farley's a top

1191
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: ten pick. Easy you factor in he had an ACL

1192
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: and two when he first arrives down seventeen and then

1193
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: two back procedures over the last three years, including most

1194
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: recently one in March that you know he should be

1195
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: fully recovered and be back on the field at some

1196
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: point during training camp. But you have to factor in, Okay,

1197
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: long term, what does that mean. Is it more likely

1198
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: to flare up. Is there something that's going to be

1199
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: a long term problem. That's where the medical information really

1200
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: comes into play, and each team doctor is going to

1201
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,439
Speaker 1: be a little different. Each team's appetite for risks will

1202
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: be a little different. So Caleb Farley is really a

1203
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: tough guy to figure out just in terms of where

1204
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: he's going to go. He could go seventeen, he could

1205
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 1: follow the second round. I wouldn't be surprised that either

1206
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: one of those outcomes, just because the medical information will

1207
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: be digested differently by each team and each you know,

1208
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: with how they're going to set up their roster after

1209
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: those four players, It'll get really interesting because I think

1210
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot there's several Round two corners that it's

1211
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: kind of similar to that pass rush conversation where those

1212
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: round two corners are really talented yet flawed in a

1213
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: certain way. You know, you look at two Georgia corners

1214
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: with Eric Stokes and Tyson Campbell. Tyson Campbell six one

1215
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: three four three athlete, that's how you draw it up.

1216
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: That's what you want your corners to look like. But

1217
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what SEC quarterbacks they were not afraid

1218
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 1: to throw at him last year on film, And a

1219
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: part of that is he just couldn't find a football.

1220
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: He's in phase, he's in position, but he can't get

1221
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: his head turned around and he can't use his length

1222
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: to disrupt the pass, and so that that's a big

1223
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: issue with him. But again, is that something that's learned.

1224
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Is that something he can get better at, maybe in

1225
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: some respect in some areas, But that's where the opinions

1226
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: on a Tyson Campbell are very different. Kelvin Joseph At

1227
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: of Kentucky five eleven and a half one hundred ninety

1228
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: seven pounds, a fourth three athlete, you know, he's got

1229
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: some concerns off the field that teams need to sort through.

1230
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: So all these corners are really talented and all deserving

1231
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: of top fifty consideration, but you look at him and

1232
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: there's maybe one or two things that you point to,

1233
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: and that that's where each team's going to look at

1234
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: it a little differently in terms of breaking down the

1235
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: weaknesses and where they feel comfortable drafting each player. Yeah,

1236
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: and I think Caleb Farley might be the most fascinating

1237
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: player in this entire draft, not only because of the

1238
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: ability he brings to the table as you mentioned, Dane,

1239
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: but he pretty much runs the gamut of all the

1240
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: deficiencies that the scouting community has. This year, he opted

1241
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: out and for an understandable reason, he lost a parent

1242
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 1: to cancer, I believe, and didn't want to lose another

1243
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: one due to a COVID infection, So I get the

1244
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: opt out. I understand that. But he's got medical and

1245
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: he's got a limited body of work. I mean, he's

1246
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: got the trifecta there, so it's really going to be

1247
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: fascinating to see how much he slides. But he tests

1248
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: off the chart. Well, yeah, I mean that. You well,

1249
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: we didn't get a chance to see exact testing numbers

1250
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: because of that injury, which is unfortunate because I think

1251
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: he absolutely would have blown it up. But no, you're right.

1252
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know, he no character concerns.

1253
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: But besides that, you know there everything else is a worry.

1254
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 1: But if you told me that in two years he's

1255
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: one of the top ten corners in the league, I

1256
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: could buy it. I can see a path to get

1257
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: to that point. And so high risk, high reward this guy,

1258
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: he's the poster player for that. Yeah, And just one

1259
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: more question on corners here, Dane, because we know you

1260
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: said all of those guys that you just mentioned could

1261
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: be top fifty picks. We know the Bills in the

1262
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: second round aren't in the top fifty. They pick at

1263
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: sixty one. I know you mock them Tyson Campbell, and

1264
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: that would be a nice option to have that latent

1265
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: round two. But are there other names that figure to

1266
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: be closer to the bottom of round two that you

1267
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: think would be in play for the Bills. I really

1268
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: like Paulson Adebo's tape, but some people have him in

1269
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: the top round three. But he just looks like that

1270
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: long run support corner that the Bills like in their system.

1271
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: Just your thoughts on him and anybody else that you

1272
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: think could be there at the bottom around two at corner. Yeah,

1273
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: it'll be really interesting to see how early these corners go.

1274
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many of them that one or

1275
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: two of them is going to slip a little bit,

1276
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, to the end of round two, maybe even

1277
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: into round three. It's certainly possible, just because of the

1278
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: sure volume of corners that we have this year. And

1279
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: that's the second round mix. You know if Yantu Melofon

1280
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: was another one, but with posting Adibo another opt out

1281
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: did not play this year. But I'll tell you what,

1282
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: if you want a player that looks the part and

1283
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: has ball production, he's your guy. Thirty eight passes defended

1284
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: in two years at Stanford. Eight interceptions six one, one

1285
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: hundred ninety eight pounds round four four four and the

1286
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: forty yard dash six sixty nine in the three cone,

1287
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: which is a fantastic time for anybody, let alone a

1288
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: guy that's sixty one two hundred pounds. So with posting Adbo, now,

1289
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,919
Speaker 1: I don't think his tape is as consistent or as

1290
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, as glowing maybe as the testing numbers and

1291
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: you know the production that he's had, because once he

1292
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: gets beat, it's tough for him to recover. You know,

1293
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: you can throw on the tape against UCF and who

1294
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: has a nineteen and gave Davis, a guy you guys know,

1295
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: well a couple of those double moves posted a dibo

1296
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: was left kind of grabbing an air and it really

1297
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 1: had no answer for gave Davis, who was a good player.

1298
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: So it's you know, no shame in you know, losing

1299
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: some reps to him. But that's kind of the rub

1300
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: with the debo is he's a little leggy, a little upright,

1301
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: and when he does have those false steps, it's really

1302
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: tough for him to recover. But you want to bet

1303
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: on a guy with the size, the foot, agility, you know,

1304
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: those are the traits that you want. He's a smart guy.

1305
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Confidence is there, So there's a lot going for a

1306
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: debo that at this late part of round two, even

1307
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: in the round three, you feel comfortable rolling the dice

1308
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: on a talent like that. One last one for me, Danan,

1309
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Where do the top couple

1310
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: of running backs go? How early do they get picked

1311
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: in this draft? You know eight at n Naji Harris

1312
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: and Williams? Is that right? Williams? Javonte Williams at North Carolina? Right?

1313
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: And I think that you look at the Steelers at

1314
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: twenty four, everything points to them and Najie Harris as

1315
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: being a just a logical fit. You look at uh

1316
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers and really having a small window here with

1317
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Ben as the quarterback and really going for it. How

1318
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: much a Nage Harris a guy that's ready to step

1319
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: in right now and help an NFL offense, how much

1320
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: that would help, especially with his ability out of the

1321
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: backfield as a pass catcher. I think that fits Pittsburgh.

1322
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: It almost makes too much sense that it won't happen

1323
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: at twenty four. And then after that, I'll tell you

1324
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: what I'd be surprised if we had another running back

1325
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: in the first round, It's always possible. We've seen surprises before.

1326
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely we see a Travis Etn

1327
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams maybe in that second round, that early second round.

1328
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: You look at the Falcons picking in the early second round,

1329
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: they need help at running back. The Miami Dolphins another one.

1330
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: I think that would be a logical landing spot for

1331
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: either Etn or a Javonte Williams to come in and uh,

1332
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, be you know, kind of bell cow that

1333
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: they've been looking for. Etn's more of your slasher, the

1334
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: home run hitter speed. Jontay Williams is the guy that

1335
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: just wants to break tackles, you know, a former high

1336
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: school linebacker moved to running back late. His ability, he's

1337
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: kind of like a compact version of Leonard Fournette and

1338
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 1: his ability to break tackles is really uncanny. So I

1339
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: think Javonte Williams is definitely well liked with teams and

1340
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: would not be surprised to see all three going to

1341
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: top forty, although I don't know that all three are

1342
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: going to get in the first round and then the

1343
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: last one for me, Dane, I know everybody loves sleepers.

1344
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,480
Speaker 1: You unveiled your list of sleepers recently on the Athletics,

1345
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: So why don't you just pass along some of those

1346
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: lesser known names that you know fans might be interested

1347
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: in come day three when they probably don't recognize one

1348
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 1: guy from the next. Well, yeah, I encourage people to

1349
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: check out the article on the Athletic. I go through

1350
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 1: ten names that were not combine invites. You know, we

1351
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: didn't have the combine this year, but we still had

1352
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: the Combine list. But my favorite guy on that list

1353
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 1: Jacob Harris at a UCF. Love the background, former soccer

1354
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,680
Speaker 1: player who decided to play football as a senior in

1355
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,839
Speaker 1: high school just to you know, be with his buddies

1356
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: and have fun. And he got that itch. You know,

1357
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: he goes to Florida Gulf Coast to play soccer. After

1358
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 1: a week he says, I want to play football, walks

1359
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: on at Western Kentucky, but he gets a little home six.

1360
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,600
Speaker 1: So he walks down at UCF and gets better and

1361
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: better as the years went on. This past year as

1362
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: a tight end slash big wide receiver, big slot had

1363
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns and you saw him. It started to really

1364
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: the light bulb really kind of illuminate for him. And

1365
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 1: what you really like about Jacob Harris is he can

1366
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: also play special teams. He's six five two twenty four

1367
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: four oh athlete, six five in a three cone and

1368
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: he could play special teams coverages. He had double digit

1369
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: tackles in college. So you draft him fourth or fifth

1370
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: round and while you're developing him as that big slot

1371
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: receiver as you know, maybe a guy that could develop

1372
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: into a tight end, he's gonna make plays for you

1373
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: on special teams. So he's gonna earn that roster spot.

1374
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: So every year we've got sleepers that come through and

1375
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 1: maybe surprise us um and this year is no difference.

1376
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: So hopefully people go check out that article. Yeah, I

1377
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: saw I see him as a receiver. I mean, I

1378
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: know he's a willing blocker, but he's I mean he

1379
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: is rail. He looks like a rail out there with

1380
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: his height and his length. I mean, I just can't

1381
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: see him lining up in line. I mean maybe he

1382
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: gets in the way as somebody, but yeah, I think

1383
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: he's big slot all the way at the NFL level.

1384
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: Uh Dane. One more thing, how people can get the beast?

1385
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 1: How do they get their hands on that all, he

1386
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: needs an athletic subscription and it's included as part of that,

1387
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: and I think right there makes the athletic worth it.

1388
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: With with the draft guide, UM, if you like the

1389
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 1: NFL draft at all, I promise you a zero percent

1390
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 1: chance will be disappointed. UM. If you like details, uh,

1391
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, all the all the NFL verified pro day

1392
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 1: data is in there. UM, all the background information, all

1393
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: the metrics, that's the production and of course the analysis.

1394
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: So um over four hundred reports. So this is the

1395
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: thing you want at your at your side during draft weekend. Um,

1396
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 1: as the picks are coming off the board, I promise

1397
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: you zero percent chance you'll be disappointed with it. Yeah,

1398
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't do a draft without it. Two

1399
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven pages of brilliance this year, Dane.

1400
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: Thanks man, appreciate you, good luck and enjoy this draft.

1401
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: I know it's kind of a downer when it's finally

1402
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: over after all the work that goes into but man,

1403
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you we appreciate it well. I can't wait

1404
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 1: to see my kids again and my family and all that.

1405
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'll be looking forward to it all. Thanks guys,

1406
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: you may care Dane. Dane, Brugler can come out of

1407
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: his hole in about a week and see his family again.

1408
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's It is one of the most

1409
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: comprehensive draft guides that I've come across. And you know,

1410
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: we know mel Kiper does his due diligence, and Todd

1411
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: McShane and all of those guys. I think Dane is

1412
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,600
Speaker 1: very underrated for the type of information he gathers and

1413
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: puts together all in this one package. So it's worth getting.

1414
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. We are going to take a

1415
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: break here so we can get to phones immediately when

1416
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: we return. So Charlie and Buffalo stand in Buffalo, Rich

1417
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, Matt and Rochester hang tight. We will

1418
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: get your thoughts next on Brandon Bean and whether his

1419
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,640
Speaker 1: comments yesterday changed your opinion on what you think the

1420
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Bills may do in the draft. We'll get to you

1421
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,719
Speaker 1: guys next here on One Bill's Live presented by Collid

1422
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One

1423
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Second half

1424
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: of the show underway. Did Brandon Bean's comments Tuesday change

1425
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: your thinking on the bills approach to this year's draft.

1426
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: You let us know at eighth three, five fifty to

1427
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: the phones we go and to Charlie and Buffalo. Charlie,

1428
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills Live.

1429
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: Thanks for waiting, Good afternoon, Act. I don't mind waiting.

1430
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: I think the Bills should move up in the draft.

1431
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: They should probably trade Jerry Use because they're looking for

1432
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: a j Epanoza to step up and see if they

1433
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,560
Speaker 1: can get another a lower first round draft choice and

1434
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 1: maybe a fourth or a fifth for Jerry Use. And

1435
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to say, take a cornerback in the first round,

1436
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:09,879
Speaker 1: you get one of those top cornerbacks. Yeah. I respect

1437
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: what you're proposing there. Hughes is in the final year

1438
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 1: of his contract. He's thirty three years of age. I'm

1439
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: wondering who is a fit to find that as attractive

1440
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 1: for a fourth round Yeah, Like, I don't know. It's

1441
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 1: easy to say, hey, let's offer Jerry Hughes. I'm just

1442
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: trying to think on the other side of it, who

1443
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: would be interested in getting him? Would you, if Charlie,

1444
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: would you be willing to part with a fourth round

1445
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: draft pick for Jerry Hughes. No, I would not. Neither

1446
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: would anybody else. So now now you see there the

1447
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 1: issue with trying to move him in a trap? What

1448
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: would you part with if you knew everything you know

1449
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 1: about Jerry Hughes? What would you give if you're the

1450
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and you Jerry Hughes is on another team,

1451
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: who would you give or what would you give for

1452
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: him you were breaking up? I would give I would

1453
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: give Jerry use it, maybe a fifth round draft choice

1454
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: to move up, you know, five or six spots on

1455
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah. I don't know if that's gonna get

1456
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: it done. Unfortunately, Charlie and I respect what you're trying

1457
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: to do, and i'd love to get a corner and

1458
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: round one too, But man, oh man, I think the

1459
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: run is going to start early and the Bills are

1460
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 1: going to be on the outside looking in on left.

1461
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 1: They move unless they move up the board, and it's

1462
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 1: going to be costly to get up there. That's the problem.

1463
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean, when you're sitting out here, we're browning and

1464
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: eye do and and a lot of our listeners do,

1465
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: you're saying I will give a you know, a dozen

1466
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 1: donuts for this is gonna be good. I can't wait

1467
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: for J. J. Watt. You know. I mean that's I mean,

1468
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating, but that's what you're talking about. I will

1469
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: give you know, I will give a I will give

1470
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: a bag of footballs for Kyle Pitts the tight end.

1471
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,560
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, I mean, we're not done, and

1472
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: we're not making funny of Charlie. It's just but I'm exaggerating.

1473
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Make the point about, you're not gonna move up to

1474
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: anywhere with Jerry Hughes and a fifth round draft up,

1475
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: you're not moving anywhere. Yeah, And it's tough. It's tough. Um,

1476
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: those picks are valuable for a reason and and we

1477
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,719
Speaker 1: all see the value in them. Uh, you just can't

1478
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: have your cake and eat a team. I mean, I know,

1479
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: you won thirteen games, you went to the ANFC title game.

1480
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 1: Now you pick thirtieth. That's just the way it works.

1481
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: And listen, moving up only we've been going over this

1482
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: in these value charts and all the things that have

1483
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: happened in the past where they get a lot to

1484
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: get up even a little bit. Yeah, it's a ton

1485
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: a ton to move up in this draft in the

1486
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: draft slot just uh, just you know, five spots the

1487
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: Bills to move up from thirty to twenty five. It's

1488
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: gonna take you a fourth round pick. No, it's gonna

1489
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: take you in the bottom, the bottom of the third

1490
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: to the top of the fourth to get there. Yeah,

1491
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 1: and it almost there goes there goes your pick at

1492
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: ninety three to move up five spots in round one,

1493
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: you'd have to give up the thirtieth pick and you're

1494
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 1: ninety three pick to get up five spots to twenty

1495
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: five just to get to twenty five. So you're not

1496
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Hughes is not going to move the

1497
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 1: needle with a one year left on his contract. Let's

1498
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: go to Stan in Buffalo. Stan, you're on one Bill's Live.

1499
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Hey, guys, I love

1500
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: listening to you guys. Nice talking to you. Um, just

1501
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: at this point in time, just really want to say

1502
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: you guys there, Yeah, we're here, Okay. Just want to say,

1503
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to stay at thirty. I

1504
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 1: think thirty is a good spot. I know we're all

1505
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: talking cornerback and edge Rusher. I think we've got our

1506
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: edge rusher last year with AJ and I think Star

1507
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: coming back and at Oliver is going to be cleared up.

1508
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: During this whole time, now with Start coming back, we're

1509
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 1: gonna have a better edge rush with with aj aj

1510
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 1: is gonna have a defined spot instead of working both

1511
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: wats I want to eat? And E are you on etn? Okay? Yeah? Whatever,

1512
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: whatever his name is, I have on the big Big.

1513
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: That's fine, Steve, Yeah, the big I got it. But

1514
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: you know what, can you can you imagine him come

1515
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: around of the backfield like Sermon on a wheel route

1516
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 1: behind Stefan cross in the middle or whatever it mean?

1517
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. Yeah, I mean he's an

1518
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: explosive athlete, there is no question about it. And he's

1519
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: an accomplished ball and he's accomplished receiver too, which helps

1520
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: in a in an offense where you throw at forty

1521
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: times a game. And you know what the thing is

1522
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,799
Speaker 1: though he doesn't. He only ran the ball in college

1523
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: less than twenty times per game, so he's used only

1524
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: getting the ball fifteen eighteen times. Right there are there

1525
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: are miles on those tires. I will say that. I

1526
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,799
Speaker 1: think he's got over six hundred touches of the football

1527
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: in his college career, So there's miles on the tires.

1528
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: We can't ignore that. And you know, Brandon Bean when

1529
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: he was talking about um Moss and Singletary specifically, he said,

1530
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: we don't have a home run threat? Is Etn that? Yes,

1531
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: he is, But he did not mention Matt Breeda, who

1532
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 1: was on this roster and is a home run threat

1533
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: and runs a four three eight. Um. I don't think

1534
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: that should be dismissed. Now, that's not to say they

1535
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't take et N if he's sitting there on the board.

1536
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he would be an intriguing consideration. Um, but

1537
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: they do have a home run guy in Matt Breda.

1538
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: It's not like they're devoid of that completely. Back there,

1539
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: Brita Brownie, I agree with you at Brita. U I honestly,

1540
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: and I hate to say this, because he's just that

1541
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 1: he was that, he was that little guy that just

1542
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,640
Speaker 1: came in and get it. Devin Singletary, I think we

1543
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 1: need to keep Moss, Brita, but I really think we

1544
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: need to bring Etn in and we'll get a cornerback. Well,

1545
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: how do how do we figure out too? How do

1546
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: we figure out to move up and to give up

1547
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: give up future draft picks for winning now to move

1548
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 1: up and to get a third this year and get

1549
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: get our stuff. I mean, here's the thing stand. Here's

1550
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: the thing stand. You are winning now. You're thirteen and

1551
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:12,679
Speaker 1: three last year and you were uh in the regular

1552
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: season and two and one in the playoffs. You are

1553
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: winning now. You got to the point, You've got your

1554
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: roster to the point now where you can beat anybody,

1555
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: including Kansas City if you All you gotta do is

1556
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 1: play well that day, don't. You don't have to mortgage

1557
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: anything to get better in this draft, let alone next

1558
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,599
Speaker 1: year's draft. You're gonna need those picks next year. Uh,

1559
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: as Brownie's alluded to, you need as many picks as

1560
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: you can get next year because you need as much

1561
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: controlled labor costs as you can get because you're gonna

1562
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: have to pay Josh and Tremaine. So there's no reason

1563
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: to feel like there's one last thing you gotta get

1564
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: to win. Get your folks, you go. I invite you

1565
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 1: to get on NFL game Pass and go back and

1566
01:21:57,960 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: watch this season to get you. Just watch the last

1567
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 1: eight games, has several times telling you they were they

1568
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 1: were a juggernaut. They were crushing it last year, and

1569
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be really good this year too.

1570
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't care how tough their schedule is. There's nobody

1571
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL that's looking at their schedule and look

1572
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: at and saying, oh, we gotta play Buffalo on week fifteen,

1573
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: or we gotta play Buffalo in week twelve, we gotta

1574
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: play Buffalo in week eight. Nobody is circling that saying

1575
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna win. They're saying, that's a game that's that

1576
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: may be a loss. And Stan, thanks for the call.

1577
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: And with respect to your comment on having to move

1578
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: up to get a corner and round two, I don't

1579
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: know that you'll necessarily have to do that. And here's

1580
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: two reasons why. Number One, there is decent cornerback depth

1581
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: and it's in the bottom half of round two to

1582
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 1: round three. Bottom half round two, top around three is

1583
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: where that second big chunk of corners are expected to go.

1584
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: So the Bills may be able to bide their time

1585
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: and get one at sixty one. And if there is

1586
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: a run in the first round on the top tier

1587
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: of corners, all those teams are not going to be

1588
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,639
Speaker 1: picking corner and round two, so they might get pushed

1589
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 1: down a little bit. In the second round. You might

1590
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 1: be able to get a good player there. So I

1591
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 1: don't know that they have to move up in round

1592
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: two even if they don't get a corner in round one.

1593
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 1: And how does running back happen in round one? What's

1594
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the likelihood of it? I think if the edge rusher

1595
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: cupboard is bare and the cornerback cupboard is bare, then

1596
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: I think it enhances the chances of the Bills taking

1597
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 1: a running back in round one if they decide to

1598
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: stay put at thirty. Let's go back to the phones

1599
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: and we go to rich in Orchard Park. Rich what

1600
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: do you have for us you on one Bill's Live. Hey, Well,

1601
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: first to answer your question about whatever general general as

1602
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: general Mader Bean says, I don't trust any general manager

1603
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 1: what they say a week going into the draft. That

1604
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,839
Speaker 1: trusts a politician more. I don't think it means anything.

1605
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,759
Speaker 1: But as far as the draft, I'm a big advocate

1606
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: of holding onto your fix and not tratting trading up.

1607
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: But at this particular point, we're in an unusual circumstance

1608
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 1: as far as Bills fans are concerns. We actually have

1609
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 1: a really good team and I don't see with any

1610
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: competence that any fourth, fifth, or sixth round players going

1611
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: to even make this team. So I don't really put

1612
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: a lot of value in those picks. And then when

1613
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: you couple that with what your guest speaker said and

1614
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 1: what you yourself has said, monitoring the draft this year

1615
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: is really really difficult, and if in a best case

1616
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 1: situation with a team that we've got, we might not

1617
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: have a fourth or fifth round or make it under

1618
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: any circumstances. When you have all this difficulty evaluating this

1619
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: draft class in particular, I wonder what our basement is, like,

1620
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 1: what's the lowest picks that you expect to make this

1621
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:38,720
Speaker 1: team and why not just scrap the rest of it

1622
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: and start building towards the future with those future picks

1623
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 1: next year and beyond, when we have that quarterback issue,

1624
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: when we have these sailory cap issues that we're going

1625
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: to have to be addressed, get ahead of the curb.

1626
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: And for the first time since leaving Polly and I

1627
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: feel pretty competent that this general manager and coach are

1628
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: actually going to be on this team in three years.

1629
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 1: And I think they probably feel pretty competent about that

1630
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: as well. They're not as much any we need to

1631
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 1: win right now to keep our jobs, but we could

1632
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:08,640
Speaker 1: trade picks with a coach general manager that are on

1633
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: the hot seat and they're picking the future is going

1634
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 1: to be more valuable than picking in the bottom three

1635
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 1: of the draft next year. I mean, we might be

1636
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: able to move up just by taking something in the

1637
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: future with something that's maybe not even going to play

1638
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 1: this year anyway. So Rich wants to trade out late

1639
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 1: picks this year for future draft capital when you're gonna

1640
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 1: need it more to get cheap labor on your roster.

1641
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 1: After Josh Allen gets his big fat extension. Interesting interesting approach,

1642
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,640
Speaker 1: and I get it. The problem is, you know, and

1643
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: he's right, I agree with I've said it on this show.

1644
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: You get into the fifth round. We got two fifths

1645
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:42,560
Speaker 1: and a sixth this year, no seventh. I don't know

1646
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: how hard it's going. I don't know how easy it's

1647
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: going to be for those guys to contribute at all.

1648
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they may be on the practice squad, they

1649
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: may be out there running around in practice and doing

1650
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: things that we don't know about and contributing to the

1651
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: preparation of other players who are playing. But that's it.

1652
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: And his opinion is that whyn't you trade those picks

1653
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 1: and get some picks next year to help us you know,

1654
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,759
Speaker 1: stay competitive when you start having to pay Josh Allen,

1655
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,639
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds and the rest makes a lot of sense.

1656
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,799
Speaker 1: But you know, if you're trading two fifths and a sixth,

1657
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 1: you're not even gonna get a fourth round draft pick

1658
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 1: for that. Seriously, two fifths and a sixth don't add

1659
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:27,640
Speaker 1: up to a four, so and certainly a seventh is

1660
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 1: no help at all. I mean, you can't even get

1661
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: You're not even gonna get into the fourth round with

1662
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: two fifths and a sixth. If you can't get into

1663
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: the fourth round, okay, but you got a fourth rounder

1664
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 1: next years, that's a long way off. Many that is

1665
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: a long way off, and I don't and that is

1666
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 1: no lifeline at all if you're trying to improve your

1667
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: football team even next year. Break time for us here.

1668
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: Matt and Rochester will lead us off next, followed by

1669
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: Paul in Eden. You guys, hang tight, we'll get to

1670
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: you when we return. As we're talking NFL Draft and

1671
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 1: the Bills and their picks at thirty sixty one and

1672
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: ninety three. What you're gonna do? Let us know here

1673
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,759
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

1674
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

1675
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Back to the phones. We go as you

1676
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: guys have plenty of thoughts on the Bills approach in

1677
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 1: the draft, on the heels of the Brandon being pre

1678
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: draft press conference yesterday. And we lead off now with

1679
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: Matt and Rochester. Matt, what do you have for us?

1680
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 1: You're on One Bills Live. Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Just

1681
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 1: real quick, I wanted to say, if someone has an

1682
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 1: hour long highlight tape of game changing moments NFL Highlights tape,

1683
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 1: I think they belong in the Hall of Fame. I'm

1684
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 1: talking about you, Steve Tasker. All right, that's not why

1685
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:04,719
Speaker 1: called though, And I know Steve you've been vocal about

1686
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: disagreeing with that. But um, I wanted to talk about

1687
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 1: Shabriel Cox, m the LSU kid. I don't know if

1688
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 1: he's a linebacker, safety and nicol Um. I don't know

1689
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: if he's a fit for Buffalo or or if you'll

1690
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:23,839
Speaker 1: be there at the end of the first or second

1691
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 1: But I kind of wanted to just get your guys

1692
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: m thoughts and input. I'm a kid, um, I'm very

1693
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: intrigued with him. Yeah, and thanks for the call, Matt.

1694
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. I'll just say this played three years

1695
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 1: at North Dakota State and then transferred to LSU for

1696
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 1: his last year in college, last year of eligibility, and

1697
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 1: he held his own. He did not look out a

1698
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 1: place there. I think his character is confirmed by the

1699
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 1: fact that here he is walks onto campus at LSU

1700
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 1: as a senior. They named him a team captain. Just

1701
01:28:55,880 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: new guy, Yeah, you're our captain. Really good in coverage,

1702
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 1: long lanky guy, long limb dude. The problem is in

1703
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 1: the run fits. Not a stout run defender gets dug

1704
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 1: out of holes by offensive lineman. Not a stick guy

1705
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: at the linebacker position. He's more of a drag down tackler.

1706
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Great in coverage, but more of a dragdown guy. And

1707
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: so I could see him not being liked all that

1708
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: much by people who need a linebacker. You know that

1709
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 1: brings some force in the run game. Now, if you're

1710
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: a team that maybe plays in a division where you've

1711
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 1: got three opponents that throw it all over the yard,

1712
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:44,760
Speaker 1: maybe he's appealing to you. But I think because of

1713
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,720
Speaker 1: the questions on his ability to fit up the run

1714
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 1: to get stops in the run game, even though that's

1715
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 1: not where this league is going. It probably knocks him

1716
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Where he's coming off the board

1717
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,719
Speaker 1: probably somewhere in the top half of the third round.

1718
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be player forty five.

1719
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: We talked to Great Cosell about him last week, Steve,

1720
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: And remember the question marks are in the run fits

1721
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,560
Speaker 1: that that's where is he physical enough to play linebacker?

1722
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: And then if not, he becomes one of those hybrid

1723
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 1: types and it's harder for those guys to find homes, right,

1724
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 1: and you gotta know two, he's he's one of those

1725
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: guys that, okay, doesn't fit the run really, but it's

1726
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 1: a throwing league. Yeah, until you play the Baltimore Ravens.

1727
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 1: He's got a factor. Yeah, it is, it is, and

1728
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 1: we're in the conference with those guys, and yeah, Jabril

1729
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 1: Cox is a good athlete sixty three, two thirty three

1730
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: and can move. He's got ball skills, good hands, covers

1731
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: a lot of ground. He's not a com he's not

1732
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 1: one of those compact inside linebacker type guys, but he's

1733
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 1: pretty good in coverage because he can run and he

1734
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,680
Speaker 1: has lengths. That's right, So um and some of his

1735
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: highlights you see him on him just it's got a

1736
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 1: lot going for him, gotten a lot of interceptions from

1737
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 1: that spot. There's a there's a place for him in

1738
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. I don't think there's any question about that.

1739
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 1: Nine interceptions in his career. Um. I don't think he's

1740
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 1: a fit in a three to four, but right in

1741
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 1: a four to three week side, you could probably work

1742
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: with him. He's Matt Milano. Yeah, um, hopefully for him.

1743
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 1: For he doesn't bring the physicality that Matt Milano does.

1744
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: It's just not part of his game. And I'll tell

1745
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 1: you this, I don't know if you can coach it

1746
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 1: into him either. Yeah. And what has set Matt Milano

1747
01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: apart in his career here in Buffalo is his intelligence.

1748
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: The guy's ahead of the game. You know, he's way

1749
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,639
Speaker 1: out in front of where he's supposed to be, where

1750
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 1: the ball's gonna be, you know. And that's you know,

1751
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 1: that's why as a fifth round pick, Milano is doing

1752
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 1: what he's doing Because physically, some of these guys in

1753
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 1: this draft, in the top two rounds are going to

1754
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: be better than Matt Milano. If you believe you can

1755
01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: coach up Jabril Cox to be a better run defender.

1756
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 1: He's probably a second round pick. If you're unsure, he's

1757
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:05,639
Speaker 1: probably at the top of the third round somewhere. That's

1758
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 1: probably where he comes. Because let's go to Paul in Eden. Paul,

1759
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:15,000
Speaker 1: you're on one bills live. What do you got for us? Hey? Um? Yeah,

1760
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 1: I just wanted to actually say that I think Brandon

1761
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:22,639
Speaker 1: Bean is doing something very great here. Um, other than

1762
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 1: the fact that he's drafted very well. Um, it's like

1763
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: a turn it on, turn it off kind of faucet

1764
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:38,799
Speaker 1: when it goes to Um, what am I looking for here? Moneywise? Okay,

1765
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't get what you mean. Okay, just all right,

1766
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,680
Speaker 1: we get all our draft picks and then we need

1767
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:52,599
Speaker 1: to pull back just for salary cap. You mean trade back?

1768
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 1: Are you talking about? Yeah, just trade back because we

1769
01:32:56,400 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 1: already got our guys. Well, I don't know that you're

1770
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 1: worried about trading back to save on the salary cap

1771
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 1: with your rookies per se. Oh no, no, in the future.

1772
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: Oh you're talking about in the future. Yes, So you're

1773
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 1: saying trade back and get future draft choices for next

1774
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:15,600
Speaker 1: year in the year after, yes, and then save on

1775
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 1: the salary cap. So we can get guys. Okay, I

1776
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: get where you're going now. Yeah, we had a caller

1777
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 1: earlier that was suggesting that, you know, knowing that Josh

1778
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,320
Speaker 1: Allen's going to have the giant contract probably next year

1779
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: at this time, and that's going to change your roster

1780
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 1: construct you're not going to have for defensive linemen making

1781
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:41,680
Speaker 1: over nine million dollars a year. You're just not. So

1782
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: that's why I think it's if there's an edge rusher

1783
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: there at thirty, it's a done deal, Lucille. Because you've

1784
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:51,280
Speaker 1: got Jerry Hughes in the last year of his contract.

1785
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:53,919
Speaker 1: You probably can't afford to sign him to an extension.

1786
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: You got Mario Addison with avoidable year after this year,

1787
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:01,880
Speaker 1: age thirty four, probably not here in twenty twenty two.

1788
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 1: So now you have aj Epinessa and Bam Johnson and

1789
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,720
Speaker 1: guys that are reserved future free agents like Mike Love

1790
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 1: and Brian Cox on your roster. You need an edge rusher,

1791
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:16,600
Speaker 1: if not for the immediate season coming up, certainly for

1792
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 1: next season, somebody who can put out there and have

1793
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 1: confidence in the rationale Paul's putting forth is because the

1794
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 1: roster is so good this year when we really don't

1795
01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 1: need that much help. Just bundle all these picks and

1796
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 1: maybe player or whatever trade back to get next picks

1797
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 1: next year. I get it, and it makes some sense,

1798
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 1: particularly because next year and follow along because next year,

1799
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 1: more rookies means more guys on your More rookies or

1800
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:46,200
Speaker 1: draft picks means more guys that are on your salary

1801
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:48,640
Speaker 1: cap at a fixed cost, very low cost, who may

1802
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 1: be really good players. That gives you more money to

1803
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 1: pay Josh, to pay Tremaine Edmonds, and to pay the

1804
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 1: guys you really need to pay in a year where

1805
01:34:57,600 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: the cap may rebound some but we don't know where

1806
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be. So that's why maybe this year

1807
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: more than ever, if you want to get an idea

1808
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 1: as to where the Bills may be headed in terms

1809
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: of addressing certain positions in this year's draft. Look at

1810
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:14,759
Speaker 1: the positions that have players that are veteran in nature

1811
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 1: and are in the final year or in the final

1812
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 1: year of their deals. Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison defensive end,

1813
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: edge rusher, cornerback leav Wallace on a one year deal.

1814
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson last year of his rookie deal. That's another position,

1815
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 1: offensive line who gets costly, Mitch Morse gets costly again

1816
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: next year. Can you stomach an eleven million dollars a

1817
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 1: year center with a forty million dollars a year quarterback

1818
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 1: and a thirteen million dollar a year middle linebacker. Maybe not.

1819
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:47,280
Speaker 1: So maybe you have to draft interior offensive line so

1820
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 1: you're ready in twenty twenty two to plug somebody in

1821
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:52,680
Speaker 1: and maybe a slide Feliciano to center and you have

1822
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: a guard that's ready to go. These are the year

1823
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: in advance moves that I think Brandon Bean is going

1824
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 1: to have to very closely examine going into this draft.

1825
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 1: You gotta look at it as well. They may have

1826
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 1: lined themselves up really well in the offensive line. Darryl

1827
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:10,760
Speaker 1: Williams Feliciano. If Mitch Morris is not part of your plans,

1828
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 1: Feliciano slides down, Force Lamp moves up, Cody Ford comes in,

1829
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 1: and you got your five guys there, and basically you

1830
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 1: go Feliciano for Morse and Lamp for Feliciano. Yeah, Lamp's

1831
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 1: on a one year deal though free agent after this year.

1832
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:29,599
Speaker 1: Mike Butcker got tendered as he restricted free agent one

1833
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 1: year deal. So these are guys that are gonna be

1834
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 1: back in the in the mix again next year. So

1835
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm really got a plan ahead. I'm really interested. And

1836
01:36:37,680 --> 01:36:41,440
Speaker 1: one problem with planning ahead, and Brandon being mentioned it yesterday,

1837
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 1: we don't know where the cap is gonna be at all.

1838
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna bounce back a little bit and gonna go

1839
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:48,800
Speaker 1: back up to where it was and then pass where

1840
01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 1: it should have been. You know that they're hoping. Brandon

1841
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: said it on the radio this morning. He's just hoping

1842
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,640
Speaker 1: it gets back to around the number it was last year,

1843
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 1: nine eight. He says, I don't know if it's gonna

1844
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:00,720
Speaker 1: get to two hundred, right, that's that's question now, Bill,

1845
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:02,559
Speaker 1: I know if there's gonna be full stadiums in the fall,

1846
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:06,600
Speaker 1: that's right. And that's also part of the CBA and

1847
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:09,280
Speaker 1: the Union and the because some of what they did

1848
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: this year with the cap to get it to where

1849
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 1: it is right today was borrowing from where it should

1850
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:22,639
Speaker 1: have been. Yeah, So there's a lot of conversations they're

1851
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,479
Speaker 1: gonna have to happen before we have any idea where

1852
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 1: the CAP's going to be in twenty twenty two. Break

1853
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,879
Speaker 1: time for us when we return. More of the comments

1854
01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 1: from Bent Brandon being the more noteworthy ones from his

1855
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:35,679
Speaker 1: Q and A with the media in his pre draft

1856
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday. We will bring those to you when

1857

Speaker 1: we return, along with your comments on the tweet sheet

1858
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:45,400
Speaker 1: as to whether those comments changed your mind or thinking

1859
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,679
Speaker 1: about what the Bills approached to this year's draft. Will

1860
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:50,760
Speaker 1: be back in a flash here on one Bill's Live,

Speaker 1: at a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

1863
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1864
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:20,720
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

Speaker 1: three and breaking news for the NFL. Do do Do

1867
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:34,920
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do? The twenty twenty one NFL

1868
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:42,000
Speaker 1: schedule will be released on Wednesday, May twelfth. You heard

1869
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:45,519
Speaker 1: it here. It has just been announced that May twelfth

1870
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:49,599
Speaker 1: is when the twenty twenty one NFL schedule will be released.

1871
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 1: And I fully anticipate the Bills to have a firm

1872
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 1: presence in prime time. Two. What are you all right?

1873
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna do the under on Monday night football Sunday Night.

1874
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 1: So last year they had five prime time games? Is

1875
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 1: that right? Two Monday nighters, Sunday night, they had at

1876
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 1: least Fursday night at least four. Well, and they had

1877
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:16,680
Speaker 1: the Tuesday game against that wasn't that you know, so

1878
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 1: that yeah, they might have had five prime timers, Uh

1879
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,320
Speaker 1: not Eve four, I think they had not. I think

1880
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: they're good for another four this year. They had, they

1881
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: had the afternoon game on the Sunday five, Sunday Tuesday game,

1882
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:35,679
Speaker 1: and yeah, um, I would say, I think they're gonna

1883
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: get four. So that's probably the over hunter. Two Sundays,

1884
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:43,880
Speaker 1: two Mondays day. I think that's no. I think it's

1885
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:46,479
Speaker 1: I think it's two Sundays two Mondays. They're one of

1886
01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 1: the highest scoring teams in the league. They're a Final

1887
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 1: four team last year. There's no reason to think they're

1888
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna be worse this year. And you got don't forget

1889
01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: you have an extra game this year. You have seventeen games.

1890
01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 1: I think they're at least on four primetime games. Two Sundays,

1891
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: two Mondays. That's my call. All right? What about how

1892
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: about this opening weekend Bills at Kansas City Thursday night football?

1893
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:18,759
Speaker 1: Let's go. How about Bills at Tampa? Why not? Wow?

1894
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: Why not? Let me just give you Brady and the Bills.

1895
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 1: So between next a week from Monday, when after the

1896
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,759
Speaker 1: draft's over, and we come in Monday morning after the draft,

1897
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:37,360
Speaker 1: we'll have approximately two weeks nine days before the schedule

1898
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: comes out. We're gonna chew on Matt like a dog

1899
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: with a ripe bone but still got some meat up.

1900
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're gonna be go. We're we're gonna

1901
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: be meditated while we chew on that home. We're gonna

1902
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 1: be a cow in the fields chewing. And that's not

1903
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 1: twenty one and fell schedule and bills. Fans across the

1904
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 1: nation will be logged onto their respective airlines of choice,

1905
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:10,840
Speaker 1: waiting to hit book for their road trip of choice.

1906
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:13,720
Speaker 1: That's right, you're gonna be sitting there because they got

1907
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 1: some good ones. If Tampa, Nashville, Um, I'm trying to

1908
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: remember off the top of my Kansas City, Kansas City.

1909
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: It's not as good as last year when nobody could

1910
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 1: go correct and Vegas and think about that for a second.

1911
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 1: Nobody could go after, nobody could go anywhere. Last year,

1912
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:36,680
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna go everywhere. It is going to be on

1913
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:42,639
Speaker 1: like Donkey com. The servers for the airline industry better

1914
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:45,799
Speaker 1: be ready for the onslaught that is going to ensue

1915
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 1: because all the money that bills fans saved last year

1916
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 1: by not making the trips they usually make will be

1917
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: poured into the twenty twenty one schedule. It'll happen. It's

1918
01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:00,719
Speaker 1: gonna be great, and that's gonna happen in May twelfth.

1919
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 1: And you know what's happening like right this minute, like

1920
01:42:04,560 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 1: live is the owners are meeting on the rule changes

1921
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:13,599
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one. That's going on right now. There's

1922
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 1: all the owners, all the billionaires. Owners are there, aren't there?

1923
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 1: They're in their basements. It's like they were underrated looking

1924
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:22,759
Speaker 1: at their computers during the meeting. Right and Adam Schefter

1925
01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: is already reporting that the fourth and fifteen on side's

1926
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 1: kick option proposed by the Eagles has been tabled. Philly

1927
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: still supports the proposal, but believes the Competition Committee proposal

1928
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 1: aiding on side kicking teams deserves a trial year. The

1929
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 1: alternative could be proposed again in the future based on feedback.

1930
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 1: I want to try it. I want to do that

1931
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: that fourth and fifteen I do. I don't hate it either,

1932
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 1: I do, and I think there are some There are

1933
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 1: some owners that think it gives an unfair opportunity for

1934
01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 1: one last kick at changing the game in a fourth

1935
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:57,839
Speaker 1: and fifteen situation, they feel like you're giving them possession.

1936
01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 1: You're just handing it to them, where an on side's

1937
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 1: kick is as unsuccessful as it's ever been statistically nowadays,

1938
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: I think also there's a new kickoff rules. You can't

1939
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: line everybody up on one side of the ball. You

1940
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:10,879
Speaker 1: can only line up a certain number of guys outside

1941
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:13,639
Speaker 1: the number of your safety has taken the outside kickoff

1942
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 1: off the three percent success rate, I think in the

1943
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 1: last three or four years, I think I love the

1944
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:24,760
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen scenario, and I would and I and

1945
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 1: sitting here talking to you about it and not really

1946
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 1: sitting in a you know, in a think tank. I

1947
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: want it to be all time. How come we're not

1948
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:36,800
Speaker 1: picked for those more often? Well, don't answer that. For one,

1949
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 1: don't your intellects together don't add up for a seat

1950
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:42,880
Speaker 1: one seat at the table. But I would rather have

1951
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:47,919
Speaker 1: him as a package deal. Fourth and fifteen go anytime

1952
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:49,960
Speaker 1: you want. If you want to try the fourth and fifteen,

1953
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:52,840
Speaker 1: do it, do it. You can take you can try

1954
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:57,599
Speaker 1: it again your own fifteen yards twenty five, fourth and fifty.

1955
01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: You gotta get it out to the forty to do it.

1956
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 1: Think about this, Steve Bills are down one score and

1957
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 1: they're in that situation. I mean, Joshka get it to

1958
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: the end zone on the other end from his own

1959
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:19,200
Speaker 1: twenty five. You could throw it down there. Well yeah, oh,

1960
01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:20,960
Speaker 1: you mean like with no time on the clock. I

1961
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:26,599
Speaker 1: got a better one for you, fourth and fifteen. Fifty

1962
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 1: seconds on the clock at halftime, you score fifty seconds left.

1963
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 1: You got all kinds of momentum. I want fourth and fifteen. Now,

1964
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:41,560
Speaker 1: let's do the fourth and fifteen, because if we get it,

1965
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 1: we got the guys to go out. We get into

1966
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:46,680
Speaker 1: the outside there forty it's a fifty eight yard or

1967
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,080
Speaker 1: our guy can hit it. I don't think many people

1968
01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:50,599
Speaker 1: do that because if you don't get it, the other

1969
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 1: teams at least getting three back. Maybe if that's if you,

1970
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:56,800
Speaker 1: that's right, if it's your twenty five. But if you

1971
01:44:56,840 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 1: get to the thirty five, that's forty five and fifty

1972
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,759
Speaker 1: three yard or with fifty seconds left, you're you're almost

1973
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:06,080
Speaker 1: where you can hit. And it's a coin. It's a

1974
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:08,480
Speaker 1: coin fla. I would love to know the live analytic

1975
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:15,439
Speaker 1: probabilities of those situations, like probability of you scoring at

1976
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:17,880
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen at your own twenty five probability of

1977
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:20,120
Speaker 1: the opponents scoring if you don't get it, because fourth

1978
01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 1: and fifteen, the percentage is what it's got to be, like,

1979
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 1: it's under ten percent version. Actually I think it's like,

1980
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:29,599
Speaker 1: I think it's above ten percent. It's like twelve third.

1981
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: I think it's they wanted it to be like fourteen Yeah,

1982
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 1: fourteen point eight or something. I remember thinking it's almost

1983
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:38,439
Speaker 1: fifteen fourteen percent chance. Think about this though, it's a

1984
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:41,400
Speaker 1: fourteen percent chance of getting a first down and probably

1985
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 1: an eighty percent chance of them getting a field goal

1986
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 1: up in three K. But the fourteen percent include don't

1987
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: like my argument, But here's what I here's what everyone

1988
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: gets to me about these analytics. The fourteen percent is

1989
01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:57,480
Speaker 1: not taking a hundred one hundred percent of the offenses

1990
01:45:57,520 --> 01:46:02,559
Speaker 1: that you're taking to get your your your sample size. Yeah,

1991
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:11,840
Speaker 1: some of them are. You know, it's the Baltimore Ravens

1992
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: run offense doing it. It's the Denver Broncos with brock

1993
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 1: Os Wilders. It's not one hundred percent of the time

1994
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen's got four in the immortal words of Anchorman,

1995
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:25,040
Speaker 1: fourteen percent of the time it works every time. That's right.

1996
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:30,040
Speaker 1: For the Bills. For the Bills offense scoring twenty nine

1997
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: points a game and over four hundred yards of offense

1998
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,640
Speaker 1: a game, it might not be fourteen. It might be

1999
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,000
Speaker 1: it might be twenty percent. Yeah, it might be twenty

2000
01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: twenty two percent, one of those kind of things. And

2001
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 1: for the for the you know, I don't know if

2002
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm convinced though, for the New Orleans Saints, it's not

2003
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,439
Speaker 1: fourteen percent, it's twenty three percent. It's you know, for

2004
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 1: all these you know, for the Seahawks, it's not ten percent.

2005
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 1: So that's my that's what I want to know. I

2006
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:55,759
Speaker 1: want to know if you've got a team that scores

2007
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 1: twenty nine and a half points a game, what's their

2008
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:01,679
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen get rate? Well, you can probably look

2009
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 1: that up and get a number. Well, you caught, you could.

2010
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: I I don't even know how to turn my computer on.

2011
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:10,280
Speaker 1: J Jay Harris has to do that for me. So,

2012
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: but that's my thing. We just answered our think tank question.

2013
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 1: That's my right. That's why that's why when they give

2014
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: these analytics, I want to know what the intangible at

2015
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 1: the variables are that they dug in to get that.

2016
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,600
Speaker 1: I would think if they just go every team in

2017
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, every time they're fourth and fifteen, what's the chances. Okay,

2018
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:32,120
Speaker 1: that's not when you've got the number one offense in

2019
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:34,560
Speaker 1: the league. How often does the number one offense in

2020
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:36,799
Speaker 1: the league get fourth and fifteen and do they convert

2021
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 1: at ain't fourteen percent? That's not ten percent. It's more

2022
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:45,840
Speaker 1: than that, probably probably is, And that's what we had. Yeah, Well,

2023
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 1: unfortunately the whole damn thing has been tabled, So we'll

2024
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:51,759
Speaker 1: table that here for now because there's no definitive answers

2025
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:54,160
Speaker 1: on whether it will exist in any form on an

2026
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 1: NFL field at any point in time. The other rules.

2027
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 1: The other rules proposals ensure the all accepted penalties committed

2028
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 1: by either team during successive try attempts. That's boring. Add

2029
01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 1: a loss of down for a second forward pass from

2030
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage for a pass throne after

2031
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 1: the ball returns behind the line, which happens like once

2032
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: every fifteen years. Expand the jersey number options for certain positions.

2033
01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:26,200
Speaker 1: That's great. That has nothing to do with the competitive

2034
01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 1: nature of the game. Thanks, change the options, but let's

2035
01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 1: do it right. This is the one that's tabled. Change

2036
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 1: the options for the winner of an overtime coin toss,

2037
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:41,160
Speaker 1: eliminate sudden death format, and eliminate overtime in the preseason.

2038
01:48:41,880 --> 01:48:45,560
Speaker 1: I get that. Elimited overtime in the preseason. Please eliminate it.

2039
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 1: I do not care. Add an eighth official whose position

2040
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 1: somewhere other than the playing field, which is the booth,

2041
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:58,160
Speaker 1: with full communication to on field officials and access to

2042
01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:02,439
Speaker 1: a television monitor. Yes, that is a That is a

2043
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:05,400
Speaker 1: huge yes for me. I'm just gonna let the NFL know. Now.

2044
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 1: Steve loves this stuff. So if you want to appoint

2045
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 1: somebody that doesn't mind getting deep in the weeds on this,

2046
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:20,400
Speaker 1: your guy is right to my left. Just hire him

2047
01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:21,920
Speaker 1: and let him be a part of it. Because this

2048
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:25,280
Speaker 1: guy eats it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Yeah. I

2049
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 1: can't tell you how much he talks and works his

2050
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: way through all this stuff. Well, he loves it. Here's

2051
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:33,040
Speaker 1: what happened, because every time you make a rule change,

2052
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:36,080
Speaker 1: there's a there's a flip side to the rule, and

2053
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:39,160
Speaker 1: there's a situation where the rule makes zero sense, or

2054
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 1: there's a where the rule becomes patently unfair. So you

2055
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: got to chew all that through and go through the

2056
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:49,640
Speaker 1: scenarios of game time, late in a quarter, late and

2057
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 1: a half time into the game, time to score, you know,

2058
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and you had to chew through

2059
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 1: all of that, which is why the rule book is

2060
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:03,280
Speaker 1: so complicated. But it's also one of the places where

2061
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:06,479
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons the league has stayed so

2062
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:10,799
Speaker 1: relevant and so interesting over decade over decade over decade

2063
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:15,519
Speaker 1: because this it has evolved. It evolves with good sense,

2064
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:21,679
Speaker 1: practice and intelligence, and the fact that they, as crazy

2065
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:24,120
Speaker 1: as it sounds, they don't believe the game is sacred.

2066
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:28,960
Speaker 1: The powers that be know that the NFL game between

2067
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:35,519
Speaker 1: it's not sacred. The one sacred cow that is true

2068
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 1: about the NFL it's money. Okay, yeah, okay, I'll give

2069
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:44,280
Speaker 1: you that. There's two things. There's two sacred cows. Money,

2070
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 1: But the other sacred cow's fan interest. Right, what are

2071
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:50,680
Speaker 1: the fans want to see? You want to see a

2072
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 1: little more of that? What are we doing? You want

2073
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:55,680
Speaker 1: to protect our quarterbacks because we people come to see quarterbacks. Oh,

2074
01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:58,519
Speaker 1: we want to protect our star players. Can't touch them.

2075
01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 1: All of that that's the fan interest is the sacred cow,

2076
01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 1: because that drives the money end of it. That's why

2077
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:10,679
Speaker 1: the league has evolved, because they give the fans more

2078
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 1: of what they want and less of what they don't want.

2079
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 1: And that's what this meeting today with all the NFL

2080
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:21,080
Speaker 1: owners is about. It's meant letting the game evolve into

2081
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:23,120
Speaker 1: what more of what we want and less of what

2082
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,400
Speaker 1: we don't want. We did promise that we would get

2083
01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 1: to the other Brandon Being comments from his pre draft

2084
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday with the media. We will do that now.

2085
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 1: He did talk yesterday about the difficulty of evaluating players

2086
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: in this climate, especially with players who opted out and

2087
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: didn't play at all. It was bad enough that you

2088
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 1: could only have scouts really scout games, not get on campus,

2089
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 1: watch tape, talk to coaches at practice during the week, etc.

2090
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 1: Because of the COVID pandemic. Then you had players who

2091
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:53,960
Speaker 1: completely decided, yeah, I'm not playing this year, some for

2092
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 1: legitimate reasons, others for other reasons. But here is Brandon

2093
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 1: Being on the difficulty in evaluating players who opted out

2094
01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:06,960
Speaker 1: this past year. Very unique to go back that far,

2095
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:09,760
Speaker 1: and unless you're watching a quarterback, you're rarely going back,

2096
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:13,679
Speaker 1: you know a few seasons. You're usually watching this season

2097
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 1: and maybe the year before, but just to see how

2098
01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:19,479
Speaker 1: they've progressed. Are they you know, are they trending? So

2099
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 1: it's been very hard. You know a lot of guys

2100
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:25,800
Speaker 1: even started the season but then for whatever reason, their

2101
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:28,680
Speaker 1: team wasn't doing well. Maybe they had an injury, or

2102
01:52:28,720 --> 01:52:31,400
Speaker 1: maybe an agent got to them and said, hey, you know,

2103
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:34,760
Speaker 1: why risk it. You're not your team's not playing for

2104
01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 1: the championship. And so it was a lot of that.

2105
01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, some guys played three games, five, some played zero.

2106
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: Very unique year. Part of kind of what I was

2107
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:47,360
Speaker 1: the opening question, you know, was not only is it

2108
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:51,040
Speaker 1: hard to get to know these players? You know how

2109
01:52:51,160 --> 01:52:54,200
Speaker 1: much we put into the stock of who they are

2110
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 1: as people and what their work habits are going to be,

2111
01:52:56,520 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 1: in their competitiveness and all those things. We're still figuring

2112
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 1: that out. We have a pretty good feel. Um, but

2113
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:06,960
Speaker 1: the play you're you're definitely having to project a little

2114
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:09,680
Speaker 1: bit on a guy that you saw him play a

2115
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:12,880
Speaker 1: lot in eighteen, very little in nineteen. Um you know

2116
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:14,840
Speaker 1: how much of that way? Maybe you're going this guy

2117
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 1: probably has second round talent, but man, I don't know

2118
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:22,519
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of time away. So that's the

2119
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:26,240
Speaker 1: rub I mean he was saying it yesterday, Steve. He

2120
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 1: goes it's not often you're going back looking at a

2121
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:32,920
Speaker 1: linebackers freshman tape, but when the guy hasn't played for

2122
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:35,800
Speaker 1: a year and a half, you gotta go there because

2123
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:37,840
Speaker 1: you don't have anything else to go on. Yeah, it's

2124
01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:40,719
Speaker 1: a rarity, but but there are guys who got injured

2125
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:45,719
Speaker 1: early in two nineteen and looked really good in twenty

2126
01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:48,240
Speaker 1: and eighteen, came back twenty nineteen, got hurt a little bit,

2127
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:51,040
Speaker 1: didn't didn't play, then came back in twenty and opted

2128
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:53,680
Speaker 1: out or played two games or played two games, or

2129
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 1: their team would play two games and then COVID hit

2130
01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:01,760
Speaker 1: cancel the race week, missed three weeks or whatever. Think

2131
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 1: about twenty and eighteen. Now it's twenty twenty one and

2132
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: you haven't seen the guy play in in live action.

2133
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 1: And when he did play, he was nineteen. Now he's

2134
01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:16,200
Speaker 1: twenty two, right, Like, has his body matured? Is he

2135
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:22,200
Speaker 1: stronger now? Like? What? You don't know? It's it's hard.

2136
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:25,960
Speaker 1: It raises a ton of questions those guys, because it

2137
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:29,160
Speaker 1: is it is more of an inexact science this year

2138
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:31,200
Speaker 1: than maybe any other year for so many but by

2139
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 1: the same token, a guy who's actually on the radar

2140
01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:39,200
Speaker 1: at that high level of the sport, meaning in the

2141
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 1: top half of the NFL draft, off of what he

2142
01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:44,080
Speaker 1: did in twenty and eighteen and what he's done since

2143
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:50,360
Speaker 1: in measurables in pro days interviews. Pretty special kid has

2144
01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:52,040
Speaker 1: a chance to be a pretty special kids. So it's

2145
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 1: not you know what I'm gonna saying, it's he those

2146
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:57,440
Speaker 1: guys that have fully those guys that have a full

2147
01:54:57,480 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 1: body of work are going to move up the board

2148
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:01,160
Speaker 1: a little bit ahead some of these guys that don't

2149
01:55:01,200 --> 01:55:05,160
Speaker 1: have that because you're it's a sure thing. And that's

2150
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:09,000
Speaker 1: why I asked Dan Brutler, our guest last hour, is

2151
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 1: our GM is going to be more conservative and take

2152
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:15,879
Speaker 1: less risk because of these medical holes in people's reports,

2153
01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 1: holes in people's college careers, because of opting out or

2154
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:23,520
Speaker 1: this and that. Probably that's a fair statement. It's going

2155
01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:25,920
Speaker 1: to happen to be accurate. It's more like this guy's

2156
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:27,720
Speaker 1: he's a second round talent. We looked at him. We

2157
01:55:28,040 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 1: know a lot about this guy. We've seen him. He's

2158
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:33,160
Speaker 1: healthy as medicals are great, we see him, he's about

2159
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: a mid second rounder, so that's kind of where he

2160
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:38,480
Speaker 1: is it And while he may not move up the board,

2161
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:42,000
Speaker 1: other guys that might have tested or been ahead of

2162
01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 1: him otherwise are now below him because they don't know

2163
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:48,920
Speaker 1: about everything of him. So there's it depends on how

2164
01:55:49,160 --> 01:55:53,080
Speaker 1: crowded the above is for this guy who you know

2165
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 1: everything about, as to whether somebody jumps ahead of him

2166
01:55:57,320 --> 01:55:59,720
Speaker 1: behind him because of what you don't know about that guy.

2167
01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 1: So to be accurate, it's those players place themselves on

2168
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 1: the board and the teams place them on their board

2169
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:11,240
Speaker 1: because of what they do and don't know and what

2170
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 1: they and what they've been able to measure. So it's

2171
01:56:15,720 --> 01:56:18,440
Speaker 1: not like the guy's going to elevate, but it could be.

2172
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 1: When they're looking for a guy, there are just fewer

2173
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:24,760
Speaker 1: guys to choose from between him and three other guys

2174
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 1: that they might have to reach a little bit for,

2175
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 1: or that he might be a value pick because of

2176
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:32,920
Speaker 1: where they're at in the draft, and he might he's Wow,

2177
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:35,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's available at this spot. And not

2178
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 1: only is he not available, is he available? There's nobody

2179
01:56:39,520 --> 01:56:42,160
Speaker 1: else who is available because they've dropped down because of

2180
01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:47,880
Speaker 1: the question marks. So that's we chewing through. This is

2181
01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 1: just it's unbelievable how they make any picks because there's

2182
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:54,920
Speaker 1: so many possible there's a there's a thousand guys available

2183
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 1: for this draft. Well, they make picks because they have to,

2184
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:01,440
Speaker 1: they need to, and you're trying to You're and here's

2185
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:03,680
Speaker 1: the thing too, at the top of this draft, when

2186
01:57:03,720 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Jalen Phillips like, ah, you know,

2187
01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:09,800
Speaker 1: you gotta pick somebody. You've got to pick a top

2188
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 1: You've got a top ten pick and certainly gonna get

2189
01:57:11,880 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 1: a good player. But what happened? What does what happens

2190
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:18,520
Speaker 1: to that? This has always been the thing I brought up.

2191
01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:23,000
Speaker 1: What happens to that kid when you give him a

2192
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: check for six million dollars? What's it due to him?

2193
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 1: What's it due to the people around him? What's it

2194
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:35,200
Speaker 1: due to the people he trusts? Yeah, that's what you'll

2195
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 1: never look. You'll never be able to know how that

2196
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:41,040
Speaker 1: kid's life is going to change? And if when since

2197
01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:43,160
Speaker 1: his life change? How does he change? And is he

2198
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:46,400
Speaker 1: the same kid when you line up in spring practice

2199
01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:50,440
Speaker 1: or in training camp? Is he the same kid? And

2200
01:57:50,720 --> 01:57:53,120
Speaker 1: he's the same kid in week seventeen. Right when you're

2201
01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 1: seven and nine and you're not going to the playoffs,

2202
01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:58,680
Speaker 1: you gotta pick somebody. Yeah. Brandon Bean was given the

2203
01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:01,920
Speaker 1: option to turn away from the thought of drafting a

2204
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:03,880
Speaker 1: running back in round one when he was posed a

2205
01:58:03,960 --> 01:58:07,600
Speaker 1: question yesterday, and he chose to leave the door open.

2206
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:10,600
Speaker 1: Here is what he said about the possibility of taking

2207
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:14,280
Speaker 1: a first round running back. We feel very comfortable with

2208
01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:16,720
Speaker 1: the guys we have, so I'm not going into this

2209
01:58:16,880 --> 01:58:19,520
Speaker 1: draft style going. Man, We've got to find us a

2210
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 1: back here in the top a few rounds or anything

2211
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:26,000
Speaker 1: like that. But there are some good players in here,

2212
01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:28,160
Speaker 1: and if he's the best guy on our board, we

2213
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:30,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't hesitate to take him. What does his skill set

2214
01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:33,840
Speaker 1: have in comparison to what we have on the roster?

2215
01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:36,960
Speaker 1: Is this player going to do something? You know, I

2216
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,800
Speaker 1: don't think either one of our backs are home run hitters?

2217
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,240
Speaker 1: Is this so? Is there an elite trait that this

2218
01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: guy has? And says, man, he's got something we don't have.

2219
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:49,280
Speaker 1: That's probably the conversation versus. Okay, are we going to

2220
01:58:49,320 --> 01:58:51,320
Speaker 1: take the same type of back as Devon or are

2221
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 1: we going to take the same type of back as Zach,

2222
01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 1: because even those two guys have different skill sets. So

2223
01:58:57,680 --> 01:58:59,920
Speaker 1: I think those are the conversations you have, What is

2224
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:02,520
Speaker 1: this player bring to you that you don't already have

2225
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:05,040
Speaker 1: on the roster that you're going Man, if we add

2226
01:59:05,200 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 1: that to the group, that's going to help our overall offense.

2227
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 1: So this is really can a running back happen if

2228
01:59:12,520 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 1: thirty certainly can? I think the thing that makes it

2229
01:59:15,720 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 1: more likely cornerback board is wiped out, edge rusher board

2230
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:24,640
Speaker 1: is wiped out, and there's nobody ringing the phone to

2231
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:27,880
Speaker 1: trade back, and ETN is on the board, and he's

2232
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:31,280
Speaker 1: your best player available, they're gonna take him, right, That's

2233
01:59:31,320 --> 01:59:34,480
Speaker 1: the scenario would probably. And also there's an offensive lineman,

2234
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:39,240
Speaker 1: an offensive linement that's going to be available at you know,

2235
01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:41,520
Speaker 1: there's there's an offensive lineman that's going to be available

2236
01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 1: back in the draft where you pick back at sixty one,

2237
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:48,120
Speaker 1: you think, yeah, there's gonna be an offensive lineman that

2238
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:50,840
Speaker 1: we can take, an interior offensive lineman or a center

2239
01:59:50,960 --> 01:59:53,839
Speaker 1: or a tackle even at sixty one that's gonna be available,

2240
01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:56,640
Speaker 1: so we can we can take the running back here

2241
01:59:57,240 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 1: and still get a quality guy at sixty one and

2242
01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 1: nine three. Yeah, I don't have a problem with it.

2243
02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean we're at the point now where they're at

2244
02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:10,640
Speaker 1: a spot where and particularly the offensive line for this

2245
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:16,640
Speaker 1: year and at running back that yeah, go defense, you know,

2246
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 1: if you if you want, But if a guy like

2247
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,080
Speaker 1: atn is there and he's better than everybody else, and

2248
02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:23,560
Speaker 1: you know he's going to be able to come in

2249
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:26,320
Speaker 1: and step on the field, which I think at that position,

2250
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:29,640
Speaker 1: no doubt. I mean, he's a three time first team

2251
02:00:29,760 --> 02:00:34,200
Speaker 1: All American. Does this concern you? Steve six hundred eighty

2252
02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:39,280
Speaker 1: six carries of the football in college, one hundred two receptions.

2253
02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:41,960
Speaker 1: This guy has touched the football seven hundred and eighty

2254
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:45,160
Speaker 1: eight times in three There are miles in three seasons

2255
02:00:45,200 --> 02:00:50,760
Speaker 1: on those tires four seasons. I would say not so much,

2256
02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 1: not as much given the philosophy of the Bills. There

2257
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:57,840
Speaker 1: are some teams that, yeah, that would be an issue.

2258
02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:01,840
Speaker 1: But I think for this team, the fact that you're

2259
02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna have Zach Moss and Devin Singletary on the team,

2260
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 1: you got Matt Breta, You're gonna theoretically you're gonna have

2261
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: two guys every single game alternating carries. They don't give

2262
02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:16,640
Speaker 1: that they don't have a lead dog at that spot. Yeah, yeah,

2263
02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with him having a lot

2264
02:01:18,200 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 1: of carries at this point. Break time for us. When

2265
02:01:21,680 --> 02:01:24,080
Speaker 1: we return, we'll let you know what Brandon Being had

2266
02:01:24,120 --> 02:01:27,240
Speaker 1: to say about a Josh Allen contract extension and the

2267
02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:32,080
Speaker 1: timetable involved. There a lot to think about. We'll get

2268
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:34,040
Speaker 1: to that when we return. Here on One Bills Live

2269
02:01:34,080 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back

2270
02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:50,600
Speaker 1: to One Bills Live. Chris Brown Steve Tasker wanted to

2271
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,240
Speaker 1: pass along the last Brandon Being comment to you that

2272
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:56,919
Speaker 1: we thought was noteworthy from yesterday's pre draft press conference,

2273
02:01:57,240 --> 02:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and that dealt with the timetable on a Josh Allen extension.

2274
02:02:01,520 --> 02:02:05,000
Speaker 1: There are many layers to that onion, including the restrictive

2275
02:02:05,040 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 1: cap this year, where the cap will be next year,

2276
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:09,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that you also have a player from

2277
02:02:09,440 --> 02:02:12,000
Speaker 1: the same draft class where you have to decide on

2278
02:02:12,040 --> 02:02:13,800
Speaker 1: a fifty year option as well, in the form of

2279
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:17,440
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmund. So here is Brandon Bean laying out all

2280
02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:20,040
Speaker 1: that there is to consider when it comes to a

2281
02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen contract extension. We're just going to get through

2282
02:02:24,040 --> 02:02:28,400
Speaker 1: the draft and then when we get to later spring,

2283
02:02:28,720 --> 02:02:32,760
Speaker 1: maybe summer, there's no rush, but we'll have some kind

2284
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:37,080
Speaker 1: of conversation and listen, we would love to get Josh extended,

2285
02:02:37,320 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: no doubt, but it's got to be a number that

2286
02:02:39,680 --> 02:02:42,240
Speaker 1: works for him and works for us. And that's been

2287
02:02:42,320 --> 02:02:44,880
Speaker 1: my conversation with them, and they know the same and

2288
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:47,840
Speaker 1: we're all on the same page. Josh wants to be here,

2289
02:02:48,320 --> 02:02:50,280
Speaker 1: which that's the first thing. Does the player want to

2290
02:02:50,280 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 1: be here? Josh wants to be here. That gives me

2291
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:56,280
Speaker 1: hope that we'll get something done at some point. I

2292
02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:59,240
Speaker 1: can't guarantee it'll be this year. The good thing is

2293
02:02:59,320 --> 02:03:01,720
Speaker 1: we do have time. And I think I did say

2294
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:05,000
Speaker 1: on that podcast we tried in Carolina to get Cam

2295
02:03:05,120 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Newton done at this time and it didn't work. We

2296
02:03:08,480 --> 02:03:11,000
Speaker 1: just we weren't on the same page with his agent

2297
02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:14,200
Speaker 1: on where the value is where to where they saw it,

2298
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:17,520
Speaker 1: and so we just said, hey, no hard feelings, we're

2299
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:20,160
Speaker 1: all on the same page here, and we just pushed Pauls.

2300
02:03:20,600 --> 02:03:23,720
Speaker 1: He played that season, and then after that season we

2301
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:27,840
Speaker 1: got it done pretty quick. That next offseason we were

2302
02:03:27,920 --> 02:03:29,960
Speaker 1: more on the same page. So I guess what I'm

2303
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 1: saying is you can't force it. It happens when it's

2304
02:03:33,320 --> 02:03:36,640
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. And if it happens, you know, this year, great,

2305
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:39,920
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, you know, I'll be very positive that

2306
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:44,160
Speaker 1: we'll get it done next year. So I think we're

2307
02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:48,400
Speaker 1: careening towards signing him and Edmunds to fifty year options

2308
02:03:48,440 --> 02:03:50,920
Speaker 1: and then addressing them in the form of extension sometime

2309
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:55,560
Speaker 1: next year before the new league year begins, so as

2310
02:03:55,600 --> 02:03:59,680
Speaker 1: not to incur cap hits of about thirty five million dollars.

2311
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Betwe best two of them. Best case, Josh takes another

2312
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:05,840
Speaker 1: step forward, wins the MVP, and they got to sign

2313
02:04:05,920 --> 02:04:10,840
Speaker 1: him to an extension. Yeah, I mean, I think would

2314
02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:14,560
Speaker 1: love to have that problem, right sure, because he's touchdown

2315
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:18,160
Speaker 1: best touchdown best, Yeah, best player in the league, and

2316
02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:20,960
Speaker 1: he's yours. Signed him to a contract, get it done,

2317
02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:25,560
Speaker 1: press to CHANGEO. Just you know, just make the do

2318
02:04:25,720 --> 02:04:29,880
Speaker 1: The five hundred million dollar contract with Mahomes didn't move

2319
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:31,840
Speaker 1: it down the road you know wherever you are now.

2320
02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:35,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, but you hope that's what happens. And for

2321
02:04:35,240 --> 02:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Bill's fans, not the club, you know, you say what

2322
02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:42,200
Speaker 1: you want they Josh wants to be here and you

2323
02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:44,320
Speaker 1: know how Brandon Bean can say that because he's probably

2324
02:04:44,320 --> 02:04:46,440
Speaker 1: talked to Josh. Josh is, yeah, I want to be here,

2325
02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:49,120
Speaker 1: let's get it done. And of course Brandon Bean and

2326
02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott don't want anybody quarterback in their team other

2327
02:04:52,600 --> 02:04:56,240
Speaker 1: than Josh. So I've said it a ton. It's just

2328
02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:59,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. What it looks like is gonna be

2329
02:04:59,840 --> 02:05:03,000
Speaker 1: the key. Even the numbers somewhere between, Like you said,

2330
02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 1: forty to forty five million right now as we speak today.

2331
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,160
Speaker 1: It may change a little bit going down the road.

2332
02:05:09,200 --> 02:05:11,680
Speaker 1: It's not gonna get I doubt if it'll get cheaper,

2333
02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 1: but that's what it's gonna be. How long it's gonna be,

2334
02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:19,440
Speaker 1: what it looks like when he gets the money, how

2335
02:05:19,520 --> 02:05:21,440
Speaker 1: much of it's guaranteed. That's all the stuff that they're

2336
02:05:21,440 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 1: going to negotiate and right, and it'll be fun to

2337
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:26,720
Speaker 1: watch it, but it's yeah, I don't think though, I

2338
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:28,840
Speaker 1: honestly don't think they'll get it done before the season.

2339
02:05:30,680 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't think still either. I wouldn't well, because you

2340
02:05:35,080 --> 02:05:36,920
Speaker 1: don't have any semblance of an idea as to what

2341
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:38,720
Speaker 1: the CAP's going to be next year. And that's gonna

2342
02:05:38,920 --> 02:05:41,880
Speaker 1: be important and to how you construct the contract. What's

2343
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:44,040
Speaker 1: year one look like? What does year two look like?

2344
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:47,240
Speaker 1: If you don't know what the cap is next year yet,

2345
02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:49,480
Speaker 1: and you won't for a while, why are you gonna

2346
02:05:49,480 --> 02:05:51,680
Speaker 1: put the cart before the horse. It just doesn't make sense.

2347
02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:54,800
Speaker 1: He wants to be here, you want to keep him here.

2348
02:05:55,840 --> 02:05:58,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's on the same page as Brandon being said. It'll

2349
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:02,960
Speaker 1: get done when more of the league figures come into

2350
02:06:03,040 --> 02:06:05,320
Speaker 1: clearer focus. It's as simple as that. And if they may,

2351
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:06,920
Speaker 1: they may push it all the way back. Think what

2352
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:09,360
Speaker 1: they'll do. They could do is say, listen, here's what

2353
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:12,280
Speaker 1: we're looking at the cap after the twenty twenty one

2354
02:06:12,320 --> 02:06:15,280
Speaker 1: season is over. They may wait all the way until

2355
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:17,200
Speaker 1: they find out what the twenty twenty two caps gonna

2356
02:06:17,200 --> 02:06:20,440
Speaker 1: be and then say, Okay, if it's gonna be this,

2357
02:06:20,920 --> 02:06:22,400
Speaker 1: let's do this deal. If it's going to be that,

2358
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:24,800
Speaker 1: let's do this deal. That kind of thing, and thus

2359
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 1: and Josh to say, Okay, I'll take this deal or

2360
02:06:27,360 --> 02:06:30,000
Speaker 1: that deal, depending on what the CAP's gonna be, and go.

2361
02:06:32,200 --> 02:06:34,120
Speaker 1: But they may push it all the way into where

2362
02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:36,320
Speaker 1: they got one deal left on his rookie deal before

2363
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: they actually signed the papers, but I think they would

2364
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:40,840
Speaker 1: love to know what the cap is going to be

2365
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:42,800
Speaker 1: as far out as they can before they do it.

2366
02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 1: And that means you're gonna have to wait. Yeah, and

2367
02:06:47,400 --> 02:06:49,800
Speaker 1: patience might prove to be a virtue in this situation. Well,

2368
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:52,480
Speaker 1: patience for both sides, but man, patience for Bills fans.

2369
02:06:52,520 --> 02:06:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna yep, yeah, we do want to

2370
02:06:56,920 --> 02:07:00,320
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet, which is brought to you

2371
02:07:00,360 --> 02:07:03,240
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

2372
02:07:03,280 --> 02:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. We did get this though, breaking news.

2373
02:07:07,680 --> 02:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Do do do do, Albert Breer. The relaxing of the

2374
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:15,400
Speaker 1: numbers rules was passed by the NFL owners. According to sources,

2375
02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:17,520
Speaker 1: get ready for a lot more single digits out there,

2376
02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:25,000
Speaker 1: like receivers and stuff. Also, no preseason game overtime, hallelujah,

2377
02:07:25,160 --> 02:07:27,680
Speaker 1: so great. Not the ties had come up all that

2378
02:07:27,800 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 1: often in the preseason. You know how it is, man,

2379
02:07:29,880 --> 02:07:32,120
Speaker 1: You cannot go in. Oh you're biting your nails into

2380
02:07:32,160 --> 02:07:34,880
Speaker 1: like a seventeen seventeen tie with two minutes left. Oh,

2381
02:07:34,920 --> 02:07:36,760
Speaker 1: you gotta get a field goal in here, guy, somebody

2382
02:07:36,840 --> 02:07:39,160
Speaker 1: can't get hit that last extra point, not to send

2383
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:42,560
Speaker 1: us into overtime. Oh my goodness. But on the tweet

2384
02:07:42,600 --> 02:07:45,080
Speaker 1: sheet where we were asking, did Brandon means comments Tuesday

2385
02:07:45,200 --> 02:07:47,360
Speaker 1: change you're thinking on the Bills approach to this year's draft,

2386
02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:50,160
Speaker 1: Brooks says, not really seems to have the same approach

2387
02:07:50,200 --> 02:07:52,440
Speaker 1: each year, best player available. He hasn't given me reason

2388
02:07:52,480 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 1: to think that his approach is going to change. Rusty

2389
02:07:55,720 --> 02:07:58,520
Speaker 1: is in agreement with that, not at all. I think

2390
02:07:58,600 --> 02:08:02,280
Speaker 1: they are, and would, however, remain open to all possibilities

2391
02:08:02,360 --> 02:08:04,200
Speaker 1: to get the best player available. I'm not against to

2392
02:08:04,240 --> 02:08:07,280
Speaker 1: move up in round one, but would rather stay at thirty,

2393
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:09,240
Speaker 1: use a few of my Day three picks to trade

2394
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 1: and add third or fourth rounders. They don't really need

2395
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:20,280
Speaker 1: seven picks this year, right, Yeah, your Day three picks

2396
02:08:20,280 --> 02:08:23,120
Speaker 1: aren't going to get you into the third or fourth round. Right.

2397
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:26,520
Speaker 1: But your Day three picks may also not be good

2398
02:08:26,600 --> 02:08:28,480
Speaker 1: enough to make the roster. And that's an assessment that

2399
02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:31,120
Speaker 1: the scouting department has to make and then decide do

2400
02:08:31,240 --> 02:08:35,560
Speaker 1: we use those to get picks in future years, or

2401
02:08:35,640 --> 02:08:38,160
Speaker 1: do we use those as draft capital to make small

2402
02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:40,240
Speaker 1: moves up the board If we see somebody sliding that

2403
02:08:40,320 --> 02:08:43,640
Speaker 1: we like, and that's really probably that's really where you're

2404
02:08:43,680 --> 02:08:50,880
Speaker 1: probably exercising those Day three selections. Jose says, No, the

2405
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:54,000
Speaker 1: way I see it, he is maintaining his flexible posture

2406
02:08:54,040 --> 02:08:57,400
Speaker 1: of previous years. I like that he keeps his cards

2407
02:08:57,440 --> 02:09:02,160
Speaker 1: to himself and his options why to open? Thomas says,

2408
02:09:02,880 --> 02:09:05,480
Speaker 1: you don't know what to expect from being He has

2409
02:09:05,560 --> 02:09:08,320
Speaker 1: to be respected for his patience and his aggressiveness. He

2410
02:09:08,560 --> 02:09:11,240
Speaker 1: is adept at letting the draft come to him and

2411
02:09:11,320 --> 02:09:14,240
Speaker 1: moving when necessary. With the current roster, he may trade

2412
02:09:14,320 --> 02:09:17,000
Speaker 1: a pick for a player like that. He thinks in

2413
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:20,600
Speaker 1: the future tense. Yeah, he said. One of the interesting

2414
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 1: things he did say says, we're gonna be We're gonna

2415
02:09:22,520 --> 02:09:26,320
Speaker 1: think long term more than short term, even with the

2416
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:28,440
Speaker 1: early picks, even with the early like the thirty pick.

2417
02:09:28,920 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: That to me was was interesting and that opens up

2418
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:34,040
Speaker 1: a whole can of worms. When you'd start talking about, okay,

2419
02:09:34,080 --> 02:09:36,160
Speaker 1: where they got guys on one year deals that can

2420
02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:39,880
Speaker 1: come in edge rusher. Edge rusher, right, what where have

2421
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:43,440
Speaker 1: they got guys on one year deals? Veterans who can

2422
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:46,200
Speaker 1: they can bring a rookie in, watch that guy play

2423
02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:48,160
Speaker 1: for a year, and then move in to take his

2424
02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:51,440
Speaker 1: spot when the guy's deal is up next year. Well,

2425
02:09:51,480 --> 02:09:53,520
Speaker 1: and you just said it, Edge Rusher, they've got a

2426
02:09:53,520 --> 02:09:56,400
Speaker 1: couple of the good guys like that nickel corner corner

2427
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:58,400
Speaker 1: because you got Levi Wallace on a one year deal,

2428
02:09:58,560 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson in the last year of his rookie contract,

2429
02:10:00,840 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 1: So that's another place you could look. Old line. Because

2430
02:10:05,040 --> 02:10:08,240
Speaker 1: of the cost prohibitive nature of Mitch Morrise's contract, even

2431
02:10:08,280 --> 02:10:10,280
Speaker 1: after taking a pay cut this season to stay on

2432
02:10:10,360 --> 02:10:14,880
Speaker 1: the roster, he's still expensive next year. If you sign

2433
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Josh to a giant extension at forty million per does

2434
02:10:18,400 --> 02:10:21,960
Speaker 1: that make keeping a center at eleven million and change

2435
02:10:22,120 --> 02:10:26,360
Speaker 1: cost prohibitive. Probably. Maybe you've got Ike Butcker on a

2436
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 1: one year tender deal as a restricted free agent. You've

2437
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:32,680
Speaker 1: got far As lamp on a one year deal as

2438
02:10:32,720 --> 02:10:35,280
Speaker 1: a veteran free agent, so you may need to look

2439
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:40,040
Speaker 1: at the guard position or interior offensive line. So yeah,

2440
02:10:40,240 --> 02:10:44,080
Speaker 1: there's you can very quickly find areas where if you're

2441
02:10:44,120 --> 02:10:47,320
Speaker 1: looking more towards twenty twenty two, you can you can

2442
02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:49,760
Speaker 1: find positions pretty quickly on this roster. Yeah, you're right,

2443
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:52,440
Speaker 1: you're talking about the corner position, the slot corner position,

2444
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:56,280
Speaker 1: the interior offensive line, defensive end, and defensive end, even

2445
02:10:56,320 --> 02:10:58,760
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, even though it's a horrible year for defensive

2446
02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:01,000
Speaker 1: tackle Harrison Phillips lay year of his rookie deal and

2447
02:11:01,080 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Star getting long in the tooth. It makes you sit

2448
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:07,800
Speaker 1: here and and wring your hands because old guys like me,

2449
02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:11,280
Speaker 1: because you remember back in the day, you never wanted

2450
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:15,480
Speaker 1: to lose so many players in one season that were contributors.

2451
02:11:15,520 --> 02:11:18,000
Speaker 1: But I think it's part of the It's part of

2452
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:21,240
Speaker 1: the consequences of having the philosophy that Brandon Bean and

2453
02:11:21,280 --> 02:11:25,080
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott do. That is they want to have guys

2454
02:11:25,160 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 1: under contract that are motivated to get another contract. They

2455
02:11:29,080 --> 02:11:30,800
Speaker 1: want to have a guys on one year deals. They

2456
02:11:30,840 --> 02:11:32,120
Speaker 1: want to have middle of the road guys who are

2457
02:11:32,200 --> 02:11:36,040
Speaker 1: here for a year to prove themselves. And they have

2458
02:11:36,160 --> 02:11:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys like that on this roster. And

2459
02:11:39,080 --> 02:11:41,720
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the consequences of that

2460
02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:44,880
Speaker 1: that you got, you're gonna have some guys go away,

2461
02:11:45,320 --> 02:11:49,879
Speaker 1: like like this year, Darryl Williams, John Feliciano, Matt Milano,

2462
02:11:49,920 --> 02:11:51,880
Speaker 1: all those guys in the last year their contract that

2463
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:55,440
Speaker 1: they let them play it out and they got them back,

2464
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,440
Speaker 1: but they were highly motivated to play extremely well last

2465
02:11:58,480 --> 02:12:00,600
Speaker 1: year and it ends up and them guys like them

2466
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:02,480
Speaker 1: turned it into a thirteen and three season because you

2467
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:04,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys on your roster that are

2468
02:12:04,400 --> 02:12:07,240
Speaker 1: really trying to hit a home run financially. Last one

2469
02:12:07,320 --> 02:12:09,480
Speaker 1: from Joe. If there's a high performing player at thirty,

2470
02:12:09,640 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: you take them. If not, and there are teams out

2471
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:13,760
Speaker 1: there willing to give you their second or third round picks,

2472
02:12:13,840 --> 02:12:17,720
Speaker 1: you trade the pick. Joe makes it sound so simple. Yeah,

2473
02:12:17,760 --> 02:12:20,440
Speaker 1: nobody's going to give you a second, second, third round pick.

2474
02:12:20,520 --> 02:12:23,120
Speaker 1: Fill to move up five spots or ten spots. Well,

2475
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:25,800
Speaker 1: you never know. That's why the draft so much fun.

2476
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Break time here, Steve and I close up a Wednesday

2477
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:30,280
Speaker 1: edition and one Bills Live with what have we learned? Next?

2478
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:46,840
Speaker 1: We'll see in a second brought to you by Skyworks,

2479
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:50,800
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2480
02:12:52,040 --> 02:12:56,240
Speaker 1: We learned I think Steve today that there's a very

2481
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:59,960
Speaker 1: good chance GMS go conservative this year, maybe more than

2482
02:13:00,000 --> 02:13:02,200
Speaker 1: in any other year that we've seen in recent memory,

2483
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:05,800
Speaker 1: with whom they pluck off the board, particularly in rounds

2484
02:13:05,840 --> 02:13:10,840
Speaker 1: one and two, with knowing full well there's gonna be

2485
02:13:11,440 --> 02:13:15,520
Speaker 1: longer more inexact projections on players due to opt outs,

2486
02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:20,640
Speaker 1: medical and other scenarios, just not having enough FaceTime with

2487
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:23,520
Speaker 1: players to even know their character the way they usually do, right,

2488
02:13:23,560 --> 02:13:25,600
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be really interesting when

2489
02:13:26,120 --> 02:13:28,160
Speaker 1: you get on and you have those same panelists on

2490
02:13:28,200 --> 02:13:29,880
Speaker 1: there that are that they do their work on these

2491
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:32,760
Speaker 1: guys just like the teams do. You're gonna get them going, ah,

2492
02:13:33,040 --> 02:13:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't see that pick. There's gonna be more'n usually

2493
02:13:36,800 --> 02:13:38,680
Speaker 1: right exactly. It's gonna be really fun to see the

2494
02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:41,080
Speaker 1: drama and the reaction of some of the analysts who

2495
02:13:41,160 --> 02:13:43,280
Speaker 1: do this for a living as opposed to the team,

2496
02:13:43,360 --> 02:13:46,200
Speaker 1: because I think you're gonna get really different opinions boom

2497
02:13:46,240 --> 02:13:49,000
Speaker 1: er bust guys, some of the more notable names Caleb Farley,

2498
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:52,840
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, Greg Rousseau Miami, those are gonna be guys

2499
02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:56,240
Speaker 1: that are considered largely boom er bust for a number

2500
02:13:56,280 --> 02:13:59,200
Speaker 1: of reasons that we just laid out. We've got more

2501
02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:04,240
Speaker 1: draft coming your way tomorrow, and I'm not going to

2502
02:14:04,320 --> 02:14:06,560
Speaker 1: remember who we've got on the show as usual, but

2503
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:09,320
Speaker 1: trust me, it's going to be a banner show. Don't

2504
02:14:09,360 --> 02:14:10,280
Speaker 1: miss it. We'll see you then
