00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Oh time by Steve Plasterer to the dust Dollar. That's

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: not time. Happy Draft Day, everybody, welcome to the show.

3
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: It is draft day in the NFL. The Bills aren't

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: involved today right now anyway, but we're excited about it anyway.

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live, presented by Collot of Health on

6
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: Radio only today once again. I'm John Murphy working from

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: my home and Steve Tasker is live with us from

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: his home. How are you doing today, Steve? Happy Draft Day? Thanks.

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm doing good. I'm have give forewarning to my

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: family about tonight. Uh. I'm gonna be I'm gonna I

11
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: got that. I'm gonna have provisions and beverages and everything's

12
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: set up because I'm gonna plant myself when that draft

13
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: comes on. I'm moving. I agree. What what kind of

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: provisions you got in mind? Uh? Probably some sort of salty,

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: crunchy snack and that's some sort of adult beverage. Okay,

16
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I think that this might be a long night. I

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: probably won't go straight to the Irish. I'll probably start

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: with the UH. I'll probably just stick with the UH,

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: with the barley more than anything I got you. I

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: don't know if I have any drinks at all, but

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: I will. I haven't got provisions. I'm gonna make a

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: little homemade pizza around five or six and nine, so

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: i'll be all set up to go for the for

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the draft, which starts at eight o'clock. It'll be good,

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: it'll be good. That's that's a good called pizza. I

26
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: might I might have to mimic you. Yeah, it's good

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: when you make it yourself too. You don't feel as

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: baggy about pizza. You know what I mean. You put

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: in healthy agreement ingredients. It's not like I don't know

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: what they put on this. I've heard that some pizza

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: eas use um, what do they hear? Oh, they use

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: bacon grease in their pizza. You know what I mean,

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: in the dough. They put bacon grease in it. I'm

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: sure it tastes better. But I'm not gonna do that

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: at home, anything like that, you know what I mean? Well,

36
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: only because I don't want to take the trouble. I mean,

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: I'll just put on a pizza, right, Yeah, I need

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: to put it in the dough. Well, some pizza places

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: do that to make it taste better. I've heard. I've

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: heard we're excited about the draft. I have I read

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: a column today from he's a buddy of mine, Mike

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Vacarroll Bondimenter Graduaty writes for the New York Posts. He's

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: like their main sports columnist, and he was talking about

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: how good it is to have a draft. And he's writing, yes,

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, people are wondering, how can the NFL go

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: on with us? And it's tone death. But the Carrol's

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: in favor, and I think I agree with him. He

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: says it will feel awfully normal. The good picks, the

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: bad picks, the wall to wall analysis before no names,

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots pick who we forget about until they line

51
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: up in the AFC Championship game in January, all of it.

52
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: But he's right, it's gonna feel good to have a draft,

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: weird as it is going to be from Roger Goodell's basement.

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: It'll feel good to think about something for several hours

55
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: a night that has nothing to do with coronavirus. Right,

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's gonna be great. I mean, you can't.

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: I mean it's like twenty four seven constant updates on

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: what's going on with the lockdown and the quarantine and

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: the you know, the you know, the social distancing, and

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: it's and there's nothing except stuff that has already been seen, right, movies,

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: old sporting events, all that other stuff, all the reason

62
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: even though they're classic, great games, and it's like, you know,

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: it's nothing new. This is live and it's something to

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: do with sports rather than politics or health, you know, healthcare. Yeah,

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be fun. It starts at eight

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: tonight with the round one, round two, and three. Tomorrow

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: we will be on the here tomorrow night at seven

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: o'clock with a special radio show because we don't believe,

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: from what we've been told by Brandon Bean and we

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: don't believe the Bills will get involved in tonight's first round.

71
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna ask you for percentage, Steve, what

72
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: percentage chance is there? Do you think? I know you're

73
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: just guessing here. What percentage chance do you believe the

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Bills have of getting involved in tonight's first round? Give

75
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: me a number. I would say out a percentage one

76
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: two hundred hundred being the most likely. I would say

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: five percent or less. That's what I was thinking, five

78
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: or less exactly right now. I look and they've said it,

79
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: and we know that it would cost a lot like

80
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: next year's first rounded to move into this year's first round.

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: The Bills have adequately stocked their needs by a free

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: agency and previous drafts, and I just don't think they're

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: interested in getting involved in the first round tonight. Yet

84
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: there's a chance, right, you got to acknowledge there is

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: a chance, depending on how it goes you. I didn't

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: get a chance to look it over, but you've got

87
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: some pre draft documents from CBS which indicate it's gonna

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: be a wild first round, all kinds of movement. Right. Oh, yeah,

89
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: they've got they've got guys. In fact, they've got The

90
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: surprising thing to me was right off the top, they've

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: got Washington picking two attack of Bloa. I mean that's

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: out of the blue because Washington was they you know,

93
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: people were thinking what are they gonna do, because they've

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: always said Haskins is their guy, and they drafted him

95
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: just last year. But they'd no question They've got him

96
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: taken Joe Burrow, then two a tag of Vyeloa, and

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: then Detroit will stay there. We'd always thought Detroit would

98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: be the first team to move up or down. Uh,

99
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: And they're gonna stay there and they'd take Chase Young

100
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: after that, right, Well, he's sitting right there. But where

101
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: does this come from? This CBS is somebodys. CBS research department.

102
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: They've got all these guys who sit down there in

103
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: New York and all you know, their their numbers, crunchers.

104
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: They're guys who think about this stuff, and I don't

105
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: know what their protocols are for doing it. Do they

106
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: ever come out for a breath of fresh air? I

107
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: don't think so. They're like mushrooms, you know, because it's bizarre.

108
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: And nobody has said that Washington's gonna trade out of

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: number two except your CBS guys. That's crazy, right, they

110
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: think they everybody thinks Washington's gonna take Chase Young, And

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, these guys I don't have got

112
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: them taken two a tag of vyeloa. That's a that's

113
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna be fun if they do that. Uh, that is

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a flare that everybody who's not watching the

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: NFL Draft is gonna tune in then, because that is

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: going to be a big I mean, everybody's like, what

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: that's huge? If that happens, man, everybody's going to tune in.

118
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: You'll be calling your friends. I think everybody might tune

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: in regardless. I have a feeling that they're gonna get

120
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: great ratings. And yes, it's a weird draft. They don't

121
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: have the glitz and glamor of a Las Vegas background,

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: but they do have a sports league trying to do

123
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: the best they can under difficult circumstances and making moves

124
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: that are extremely meaningful for the upcoming year or in

125
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: the future. Right. I mean, it's been a while, as

126
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned, all you've got on TV is replays of

127
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: classic games, some more classic than others. But it's been

128
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: a while since it's been a real meaningful sports event

129
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: on TV. This fills that need. I think people are

130
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: gonna be into it watching on TV, absolutely absolutely, And

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: I think the fact that it's going to be a

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: familiar face other than a politician, it's gonna be great, right.

133
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: And I you know on Twitter today he gave you

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: a kind of a walking tour. Is going to be

135
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: him and like three other guys in the room, a

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: guy from ESPN's coordinate the cuts and stuff, a camera guy,

137
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: and then of course a league guy who's actually taken

138
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: in all the information of who's getting picked. And who's

139
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: making trades and all that. So that, to me is

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: the job that everything hinges on. And he's sitting at

141
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: a folding table in Roger Goodell's basement, and I mean

142
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: it is he's looking at a wall. I mean it

143
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: is like the place he's going to be sitting in

144
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the entire draft of this twenty seven billion dollars year

145
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: industry is sitting at a folding table tonight with a

146
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: printer sitting next to him. And that's it. Yeah, the

147
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: other NFL people working, but those four will be with Goodell.

148
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: You know what that signify to me? Though, the fact

149
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: that it's kind of a bare bones operation is that

150
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: at its essence, and they don't like to admit it

151
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: too often, but the NFL is pretty simple, you know.

152
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: And sometime in April we all get together on the

153
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: phone and decide how we're going to give you up

154
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the college talent. And then a couple of weeks later

155
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: we'll put together our schedule, and a couple of months

156
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: later we have we start playing football games. Football games.

157
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this isn't nuclear warfare, and it's good, I think.

158
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: To get kind of knocked back to reality, like, well,

159
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: what this means and what this is all about. And

160
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: I think tonight will go a long way towards that.

161
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: It's funny too, because it's it's a it's a little bit.

162
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 1: It's the league becomes so microscopically small. You start out tonight,

163
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: it's all about Mike Brown and Cincinnati and the pick

164
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: and the guys sitting there in the basement of Roger's

165
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: house and they're on the phone. They say, Okay, who

166
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: are you gonna pick? And they said, we got this, okay.

167
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: And then the next it's again it's still microscopic. Then

168
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: it's the Washington Redskins and they're the guys, and that's it.

169
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: And it goes all the way down the line. It's

170
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: not this big production number where there's six thousand people

171
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: in costume running up and down, you know, coming across

172
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: on boats in the in the moat of the Bellaggio, right,

173
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: And it's not these guys that make a four hundred

174
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: yard walk from the green room up to the stage

175
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: where Roger Goodell is. Nope, not the crowds, not the

176
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand people in downtown Nashville. Now

177
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: it's a phone call. Yeah, and that's it. And I

178
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I'm kind of looking forward to it.

179
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: At its essence, it's just a phone conversation and it's

180
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: thirty two of them in the first round. That's all

181
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. Yeah, with a ton of analysis obviously,

182
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: that comes in with with every draft, and I think

183
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people like that, and I confess I've

184
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: fallen for that too. But it'll be good that it'll

185
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: be boiled down today to its essence. Basically, a team

186
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: can say two words first name, last name on the

187
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: phone when it's their turn, and then they don't have

188
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: to do anything else except wait until their turn comes

189
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: up again. I think it's really I think it's gonna

190
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: be interesting, and I think it's gonna be uh. I

191
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be good. I think it's gonna be

192
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: good for the NFL to kind of boil things down

193
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: to its essence tonight anyway, the draft starts at eight.

194
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: We don't have anything going on tonight, but our colleagues

195
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: at the Buffalo Bills, Chris Brown, Maddy glab and a

196
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: crew of thousands are putting together a streaming show that'll

197
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: go up on sbook Live the Bills Facebook page and

198
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: a number of other social media venues. It'll be a

199
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: pre draft show coming up at seven thirty tonight. What

200
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: will the draft look like? They'll talk to some of that.

201
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: They got a special guest, E. J. Manuel, a former

202
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback, former first round pick of the Bill, is

203
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: going to help him out. So that'll be worth watching

204
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: tonight before the draft starts. And then we're gonna talk

205

231
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: article up about seven things to love about this draft

232
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: or seven reasons let me hold on, let me get

233
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: it right. Maddie's on and it's uh, seven reasons to

234
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: be excited for the Bills twenty twenty draft. And there's always,

235
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: you know, at least seven reasons to be excited for

236
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: the Bills draft for your Bills fan, and this is

237
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: this is no different. It's it's gonna be fun. I

238
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: think for the most part, I'm I'm excited to see

239
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: if teams actually are going to move around in this

240
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: draft because there is such a wealth of talent at

241
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 1: one or two of the positions in this draft and

242
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: their premier positions, and one's obviously the wide receiver spot.

243
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: I think it's going to cause people to jump around

244
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: and drop back and trade up and move around, and

245
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna be fun. I can't wait

246
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: for the first two picks of this draft. Yeah, you know,

247
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: if there's that much movement, you may want to back

248
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: off on the adult beverages you're planning on while you

249
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 1: watching the draft to night. Steve, I'm not gonna I

250
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: will go overboard. Maybe I will too. My biggest concern

251
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: is not leaving the empty sitting around for my wife

252
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: to find it just another day. You know what I

253
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: did this morning? I printed these up a draft sheet

254
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: and you can get them too, Seet. But I'll show

255
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: you as if we're on TV. We're not, but this

256
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: is what we get at the stadium. Right. It's round

257
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: by round, picked by pick, team by dam and I'll

258
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: fill it in and it's helpful. You know, do you

259
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: see I don't know. Maybe I'm just a I need

260
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: to see it on paper, but it'll fill in the

261
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: names and you know who's gone and you know who's available,

262
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: and it helps to go through the draft that way.

263
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: And I plan on doing that right over there in

264
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: our family room tonight starting at eight o'clock. I'm looking

265
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: forward to as well. It's gonna be. We act like it.

266
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: It is fast moving, but at the same time when

267
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: it happens, it's like it starts to feel like it's

268
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: moving it like a glacier. There's what ten minutes or

269
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes between picks in the first I have it

270
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: down here. I think it's seven let me double check.

271
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: Long ten minutes between picks in the first seven minutes

272
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: in round two, and five minutes first election around street

273
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: through six. Those ten minutes take forever. Yeah, I mean

274
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: you're just sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting, and

275
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: particularly that first one when Roger Goodell usually comes out

276
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: on the stage and he says, Cincinnati is on the clock,

277
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, you know, and it it takes

278
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: what a couple of minutes for him to go walk off,

279
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: get the pick and come back on but tonight it'll

280
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how fast it happens. Then the

281
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: next team, Washington will be on the clock and they

282
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: always take a full ten minutes and it drives me crazy.

283
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: That drives me crazy. We'll see, we'll see how it

284
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: goes tonight. Draft news, I'm gonna let you know about

285
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll today, and it is a poll. We

286
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: got a good one, kind of a basic one. We'll

287
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: get to that in a minute. But there is draft

288
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: news today and people you know, dropping hints and being

289
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: posturing as far as their posting, as far as what

290
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: they need. There was a pretty strong report from ESPN's

291
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter late yesterday that the Bengals and the Dolphins

292
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: were talking trade and the Dolphins are trying to move

293
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: up to get the number one overall pick. The Dolphins,

294
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Chefter reports called on more than one occasion over the

295
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: last few weeks, but we're told by the Bengals they

296
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: were not trading the pick and they were going to

297
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: stay at number one. There were other reports late yesterday

298
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins, who sit at number six, we're trying

299
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: to move up to three with Detroit, not to get

300
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback, to get an offensive tackle. The Dolphins may

301
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: be interesting in offensive tackle. Would they be were they

302
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: looking to get up to number one to get a

303
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: quarterback or a tackle. Hard to imagine they would make

304
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: that kind of a move, But there they are. That's interesting, Steven.

305
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just smokescreen, Maybe there's something there. The Dolphins

306
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: have three first round picks, so they can afford to

307
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: move around a little bit. Yeah. Plus they may decide

308
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: that they can get the quarterback later. You know, if

309
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: they're going to get a guy like Jordan Love there,

310
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: he may be there at one of their other first

311
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: round picks and they may not have to move at

312
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: all to get him. The offensive tackles, there's not that

313
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: many who I mean these guys I was talking about CBS.

314
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: They think there's four guys that are top that are

315
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: first round talents at the offensive tackle position. That's what

316
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: they've got rated. So if the Dolphins want to get

317
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: one of those guys, or if they have a guy

318
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: their eye on, a guy who's really good and wants

319
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: to and maybe an all pro type of level, maybe

320
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: they do feel like they have to move up a

321
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: couple of slots to get one. But that's to me.

322
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: If they're going to trade up to get a tackle.

323
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: That means they think their quarterbacks still going to be

324
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: there when they drop, when they stay where they're at.

325
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: And the other way to look at it is with

326
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: three first round picks they can afford if they got

327
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: a tackle. Let's say that they really, really, I want

328
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: to make sure they come out of the first round

329
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: with probably not a bad idea to go get them

330
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: moving up to one or three. And as you said,

331
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: let the quarterback that they want fall to where they're

332
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna pick. They pick right now, as we said, the

333
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins pick at number six, then they pick again at

334
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: number eighteen. They got that pick from Pittsburgh in the

335
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: trade for the safety whose name escapes to me right now.

336
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: And then they have a pick from Houston for Laramie

337
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: Tunsel at twenty six. So three first round picks for

338
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, just one of the first seventeen picks, but

339
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: still it's some draft capital to move around. A little

340
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: bit of Bills news today. The Bills, it has revealed today,

341
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: took the step of extending turdvious Whites ties to the

342
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: club through twenty twenty one. They picked up the fifth

343
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: year option. The deadline was May fourth coming up in

344
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: a week or so. Brandon Mean has said that they

345
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: like to get guys done or redone and so exercised

346
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: his fifth year option. The first round pick turd Avious

347
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: White was in twenty seventeen. You get the option to

348
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: pick them up for a fifth year, and that's what

349
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the Bills have done. Have done. The Bills guarantee why

350
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: contract for injury only in that fifth year. Twenty seventh

351
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: pick in Round one, his fifth year salary will be

352
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: the average of the third through the twenty five highest

353
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: picks at his position. Pro Bowl player last year six interception,

354
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: seventeen pass breakups. Trudevious White certainly a guy you would

355
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: do that for. The Bills picked up his fifth year option.

356
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: That's good. You know, we talked about this, Steven, how

357
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has said to us a couple of times

358
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: they'll take care of White and Milano and Dion Dawkins,

359
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: et cetera, probably after the draft they get through the draft. Well,

360
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: they took care of White, at least they haven't announced

361
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: it officially, but ESPN reports that they took care of

362
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: Tevious White. And that's good. It's gonna make everybody feel safe.

363
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Safe and make everybody feel like, Okay, that's sitting care

364
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: of now. Yeah, totally a no brainer, right, I mean,

365
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: then everybody figure them. He's the one guy that he

366
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: was drafted by this regime and has and was all

367
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: pro at his spot and should have been all Pro

368
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: maybe last year, but he's been played at a high

369
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: level all three years and this year he was all

370
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: Pro elite And yeah, so they got that was an

371
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: absolute no brainer. You knew it was gonna happen, and

372
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: they finally announced it. So yeah, it'll be interesting to

373
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: see what the contract he is and how the timing

374
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: of it is. But there's no question they're gonna they're

375
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna pay Tredevious White, They're probably gonna pay Dion Dockins.

376
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna pay a lotto Matt Milano. Although he

377
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: won't be near the number that those other two guys are,

378
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: still he's gonna make life changing money. And that's it's

379
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: good for them, and that's and it's you know, the

380
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: clock's ticking on those guys. But they're gonna get it done.

381
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: I would yeah, I would say they'll get it done

382
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: this summer. All right, So here we are. The next

383
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: three hours, got a good show with Maddy Glad. We

384
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: got Mark Ross, former Giants personnel executive. We got Charlie

385
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: Yuk of NFL Network to talk about producing tonight's NFL Draft,

386
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: and we got former Bill second round pick Marsalis Wiley

387
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: coming up at two. That's the lineup now. The Twitter poll,

388
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: it's a very simple question. We think we can all

389
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: handle this one, but we'd love to hear what you

390
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: have to say. We want basically what we're looking for.

391
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I believe, Steve, it's just fans um overall view of

392
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: the draft, right, I mean, going in, what do you

393
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: think the Bills and everybody? What do you think it

394
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: should be? So our question is simple on the Twitter poll,

395
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: what side of the ball the Bills need to address

396
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: more in this year's draft? They probably won't start until

397
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: tomorrow round two, but then they have seven picks right now,

398
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow and Saturday. What side of the ball do they

399
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: need to address more? Offens or defense? Got two hundred

400
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: seventy votes in on Twitter so far, and two thirds

401
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: of you sixty four percent say it's the offense they

402
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 1: need to address the offense. Thirty six percent say defense, Well,

403
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: what do you think give us a call eight O

404
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty toll free from outside Buffalo one

405
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Give us

406
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: your answer to that, maybe, why do you think that

407
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: way in just your overall draft approach for the Buffalo

408
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: Bills at eight O three five fifty un toll free

409
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Can

410
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: I answer off the off the board on this though, Steve,

411
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care if it's offensive defense,

412
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: I really don't. I look, they've added a lot to uh,

413
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, the defense and free agency this year. They

414
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: obviously got Stefan Diggs to handle their biggest need on offense,

415
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. I just want them to get a

416
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: really good player offense or defense. If it's a cornerback, fine,

417
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: I'm good with a cornerback if they if they can

418
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: get to a good edge rusher at fifty four or

419
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: maybe hiring the second round, fine. If they draft an

420
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the second round tomorrow night, I'm good

421
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: with that. If they draft a wide receive, I don't

422
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: care what position it is. I think they really are

423
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: in position to get the best player available that might

424
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: fill a need down the road. Because their needs right

425
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: now are not that pressing. What do you think? Yeah,

426
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm totally gonna be okay with whoever they

427
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: get because I know at fifty four they're gonna get

428
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: somebody that's gonna help the team and be a contributor,

429
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: if not a starter. You know, I don't expect the

430
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: guy to be a tradavious white type talent or a

431
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: guy that's automatically gonna be plugged in right away, but

432
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: certainly the guy's gonna be on the field for the

433
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills this year. He's gonna be talented enough to

434
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: do that no matter what side of the ball he

435
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: is on. So to me, I'm with you, Murphy. I'm

436
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: just a side to see who it's going to be

437
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: and whether they move up to get a guy I

438
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: just don't know. There's for me at the anticipation I've

439
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: gotten at that number at fifty four. I know this,

440
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be excited about whoever it is, and whether

441
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: we've talked about the guy or not, I wouldn't be

442
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: surprised if it's one of those names that comes out

443
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: of the blue and like, oh, who's that? Who? Who?

444
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: You know? Even that won't bother me. I'll tell you

445
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do on this show, and I think

446
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: we should do it tomorrow tomorrow afternoon. On the show,

447
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: I want you to get ready and you'll know after

448
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: today's first round, tonight's first round who's available. But I

449
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: want you to throw out a name, maybe two I'll

450
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: give you, and I'll do two as well, players that

451
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: you really want the Bills to get in the second

452
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: round tomorrow night. Okay, not today today, it's crazy. We

453
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: don't know who's going to be available. I don't think

454
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: the Bills all moving up to the first round, and

455
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,080

00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: Nick that a lot of guys are. You know I

460
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,920

465
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,280

Speaker 1: address more in this draft. And if you got a

475
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: ten minutes. First election, The Patriots made an interesting move overnight.

476
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: I guess early this morning, and I like this guy.

477
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: I know he's been banged up, but I think he

478
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: was He warranted interest anyway, but the Patriots took care

479
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: of it. They signed former Jacksonville Jaguards wide receiver Marquis

480
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: Lee a one year deal. He became a free agent

481
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Monday when he was released by the Jaguars. He's had

482
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: injuries throughout his career, never became the game changing player

483
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: the Jags hope he would be. He was drafted second

484
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: round in twenty fourteen, had a great college career at

485
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: usc but last year played in only six games, miss

486
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: the entire twenty eighteen season, tore up his knee pretty badly,

487
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: and of course the Patriots didn't wait, you know, and

488
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: they were signing wide receivers last year, right, Mohammed Sanu

489
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: et cetera. Other people. They have last year's first rounder

490
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: Nikkill Harry coming back with Julian Edelman, and if he's healthy,

491
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: Marquise Lee could be a good player, a really good

492
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: player for the Patriots. If I think that's a good signing, Yeah,

493
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: it certainly it's a I don't know what the deal is,

494
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: but it's a what do you say one year deal here? Yeah, yeah,

495
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: that's a deal. Yeah. I think it's a good move

496
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Give the guy a look. See, they

497
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: have zero cap room to work with. I mean, they're

498
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: really tied against the cap, so getting a guy on

499
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: a one year prove a deal is probably a smart

500
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: move for them. And Marquis Lee seems he's a guy

501
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: that when he's out there, he's productive. I'm with you, Murphy,

502
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good player and a real talented player.

503
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: So I think it's it makes a lot of sense

504
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Issue with him. He has been health

505
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: and at this point I want to take one exception.

506
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: I mentioned Mike for Carroll New York Post article about

507
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I read the part about you know

508
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: you'll see you'll see good picks, bad picks. You'll see

509
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots draft four names you never heard of, and

510
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: then they'll line up in the AFC Championship game. I'm

511
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: not saying that's untrue, but you know they're not a

512
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: good drafting team. We've said this last year at the draft.

513
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: Chris Brown pointed it out to me. The Patriots typically

514
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the last five to seven years,

515
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: have not been a good drafting team. They're extremely they're

516
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: probably the best coach team in the league by a

517
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: Browning are Radio one they won goes Live presented by

518
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: Colloid of Health, John Murphy's tasker. We apologize our signal

519
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: dropped out. I guess at the end of the last Secon,

520
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: you didn't miss anything that bad. What happened, Steve? You

521
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: accidentally hit your mute button again? Is that what happened? Um? Yeah,

522
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: he hit video and especially your microphone obviously my first target.

523
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: So I turned all that off because I because I

524
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: needed to go to the bathroom real quick, and yeah, well, okay,

525
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: you're ready to go now, I am ready. I'm ready

526
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: for another ten or fifteen minutes here. All right. Yeah,

527
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: we're good because we got a special guest online. She

528
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: is a reporter for the Bills and the Sabers on PSC,

529
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: A good friend of the show, Maddie glam Jones. Hello, Maddie,

530
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: how you doing? Hey, guys doing great? It's officially Draft day.

531
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning, looked outside, and I saw

532
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: somebody walking by in a Patriots jersey. Oh, come on,

533
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo here. I just got done telling Steve before we

534
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: went off the air there before we moveed this out

535
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: that Patriots don't draft. Well, they don't. They're not a

536
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: factor on draft day. They haven't been really since I

537
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: got lucky in the sixth round with Tom Brady. Not

538
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, So I was, I was all excited

539
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: and then I see a Patriots jersey and I'm thinking,

540
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: what the heck? Yeah, hey, Manny, question for is this

541
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: your first draft? I can't remember when you started with

542
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: us last year. It is my first draft. I started

543
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: in July, and so with that, it'll be my first

544
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: NFL draft. I would have loved to be around everybody,

545
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: but of course, unfortunately we are drafting from home. Yeah, yeah,

546
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: So what do you what are your thoughts that you

547
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: think it's going to stay pretty static at the top

548
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: today or do you think there's gonna be some shuffling around?

549
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: What's your gut feeling? No, I feel like there's gonna

550
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: be some some shuffling around before the draft begins at

551
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: eight o'clock tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dolphins

552
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: try and do something, if the Charters even try and

553
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: do something. Um. You know, the Lions have talked about

554
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: their their their phone lines are open, but I'm not

555
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: sure if anybody is wanting to trade up to that

556
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: number three spot because some of those quarterbacks are still

557
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna be around in the top ten ground EJ Manuel

558

559
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: to know before the draft, kind of recap the Bills season,

00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,399

Speaker 1: we'll be on Friday and Saturday throughout the draft, so

579
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: it should be awesome. And that'll be on bills dot

583
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. If you're a Bills fan. Yeah,

584
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: you're watching the draft tonight, especially the Bills don't have

585
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: a pick tonight, but you'll watch it, but you'll get

586
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: a Bill's perspective on what's going on. I'm sure on

587
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: the pregame show tomorrow you'll kind of reset your thoughts

588
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: about what is available for the Bills for the second round, right, Yeah, definitely.

589
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: I think after the first round so much is going

590
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: to determine the landscape of what the second and third

591
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: rounds look like. I mean, they're convecent people that fall

592
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: out of the first round that are some pretty great

593
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: targets that teams could be willing to trade up for.

594
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills try and trade

595
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: up a few spots, just depending what's left on the

596
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: board and what's left on Brandon Bean's board. But again,

597
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: they trade away their first round pick, so they have

598
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: a second round, a third round, and then they have

599
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: five remaining after in the second and third round. And

600
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people have said the meat of this

601
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: draft is your second and third round picks. What's your

602
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: good feeling on who they take at fifty four? Who

603
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: do you think is gonna be there? Come on, tell me,

604
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me, you know I've got the secret.

605
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, guys, just kidding. I have no idea,

606
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: but I have a feeling that depending on who what

607
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: position gets picked up towards the end of the first round,

608
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: there will be some leftovers in the second round. So

609
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: I could totally see the Bills going defense first in

610
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: the second round. That makes a little bit more sense

611
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: to me than going after a running back in the

612
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: second round, because of course you are going to want

613
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: to add some depth to that running back room, and

614
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: I think they'll probably address that in the third or

615
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: fourth round. I think in the second round it's it's

616
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna be what's left defensively. I don't really see them

617
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: going offensive line in the second round, just because a

618
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: lot of those offensive tackles are going to be off

619
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: the board so early in the top ten that there's

620
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: really a cliff after those really great guys are taken

621
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: within the top ten top fifteen. Do you think the

622
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: Bills moved through fifty four to go up into like

623
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: thirty five range or forty range. I could see it.

624
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: Chris Brown and I were talking about this yesterday. I

625
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: could see them moving up if there's that perfect playmaker

626
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: that they really want. But then we were talking about

627
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: it a little bit more, and it also makes sense

628
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: to want to hold on to that second and third

629
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: round pick, so I could also I think it's more

630
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: likely that they trade up a few spots rather than

631
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: trying to trade up twenty spots. Interesting. Maddi glab Our

632
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: guest Bills and Savers reporter for PSC. You can follow

633
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: Mandy on Twitter at mad glab Hey, Maddie, you did

634
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: a You took part last night in strong sides draft

635
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: chatter and gave a prediction for the Bills picks. What

636
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: was that last night? It was like an all female

637
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: congregation of people talking about the draft, right. Yeah, there

638
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: was a Twitch stream when it was hosted by NFL

639
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: Networks Cynthia Freeland, and so she and the Chargers team

640
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: reporter Haley Ellwood, we're talking about a way to involved

641
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: all the female talents in the NFL, whether that's ESPN,

642
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: NFL Network team reporters, and so they came up with

643
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: this idea to host a Twitch stream where a bunch

644
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: of female talents all across the board who covered the

645
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: NFL got to come on and either preview a team

646
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: or talk about the draft or talk about some possible scenarios.

647
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: So I wasn't involved in last night, but what I

648
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: did do was provide some insight leading up to the

649
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: Twitch stream, and so I did a video for Instagram

650
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: and a video for Twitter kind of explaining what Brandon

651
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Bean could do on day two since we don't have

652
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: a first round pick. So I thought that was really cool.

653
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure some people wouldn't have guests. There's fifty two

654
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: sixty qualified all female talent that could be on a

655
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: broadcast like this, and it was really cool to see

656
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: them come in and out of the Twitch stream and

657
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: they were on for like three hours. It was awesome. Well,

658
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: Mattie've also got an article on Buffalo bills dot com

659
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: about seven reasons to be excited about this draft and

660
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: the Bills don't have a number one pick? What you

661
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: had seven of them all the way from you know,

662
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs being our number one pick to being watching

663
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: it because it's a virtual draft to trades. What's your

664
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: favorite reason for watching this? I know you're gonna be working,

665
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: so that's one reason. But for the average Joe sitting

666
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: at home, why do they why do you think this

667
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: is going to be more than just a distraction from

668
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: the COVID environment. That's so true. I think it'll provide

669
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: a really great distraction and it'll also provide an opportunity

670
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: for people to continue to donate. Um NFL dot com

671
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: slash relief is the website that all of everyone who's

672
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: tuning into the draft, they want them to go there

673
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: if they choose to donate throughout the draft, and so

674
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: that will have a lot of different options as to

675
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: where you can donate to throughout the draft. And one

676
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: reason that I think it's super exciting this wasn't in

677
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: my article, but I mean, you're watching young men's lives

678
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: change before your eyes. Some of these prospects have crazy

679
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: stories on what got them to where they're at now

680
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: and how they had to fight to be able to

681
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: play football and to be able to get good at

682
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: that sport, good enough to be able to get drafted

683
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: into the NFL. And getting drafted for some of these

684
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: guys is changing their families lives. It's a way to

685
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: support their families, it's a way to change the narrative.

686
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: I think that's something that's really really exciting and definitely

687
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: heartwarming and super emotional too, Stefan Diggs put a video

688
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: out last night on his Instagram. I think it's on

689
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: his Twitter two about his brother who could get drafted

690
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: tonight out of Alabama. So that was really cool to watch.

691
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: Another reason why I'm excited is just to see what

692
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: happens towards the end of that first round. There could

693
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: be a run on several different positions during that first round,

694
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: whether it's wide receivers, corners, edge rushers, and that is

695
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: going to completely determine the landscape of the second round.

696
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: So it's going to be awesome to see who's left

697
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: on the board in the beginning of the second round.

698
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: One of the reasons you have that you're listed as

699
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: a reason to be excited tonight first round is watching

700
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: how the technology plays out and the Bills get a

701
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: chance to let everybody else figure it out before they

702
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: really get busy tomorrow. I think that's a good thing

703
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: for Buffalo maybe oh one hundred percent. If this is

704
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: a time to trade out of the first round, technology

705
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: is a reason to do that. It should be super

706
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: interesting to see if there's any hiccups. Now. They totally

707
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: did a dry run earlier this week to see how

708
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: it goes technology wise, and it didn't seem like there

709
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: were two many hiccups, but it should totally be intriguing

710
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: to watch. I wonder what some of those older gms

711
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: will do who are not as technologically advanced as some

712
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: of the younger guys. I wonder if there's going to

713
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: be any kids running through the backgrounds of any shots.

714
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: And just to also see what all the draft setups

715
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: look like. I mean, Brandon Bean released photos of his

716
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: draft setup last night, and Holly molly, it is better

717
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: than any other GM's draft setup. I may be biased,

718
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: but come on, that was crazy? Whatay? What did you

719
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: see there? What did you like? It's one A lot

720
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: of people are just set up in a room that

721
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: doesn't look that big. It looks like Brandon's in his

722
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: basement and has like the whole floor to himself, super clean.

723
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: There's tables everywhere. He's got like six monitors, a bunch

724
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: of TVs, and of course he has his big board

725
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: that's set up and that he'll add names to was

726
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: probably doing it right now or did it last night,

727
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: But that board covers the entire wall. It is huge,

728
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: and I love that he doesn't rely on the big

729
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: board on computer he does it himself. I gotta ask

730
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: you too, particularly for Bills fans. One other reason for

731
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: this is to get the expectations are way different for

732
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills this coming season than they've been in

733
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: a long long time. And your seventh and last piece

734
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: for being excited about this draft is the Bills weren't

735
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: that didn't feel like they were that far away this

736
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: last year, and these might be the final pieces to

737
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: put into place to put them over the hum. Yeah.

738
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about what the Bills did in

739
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: free agency and how they address the immediate needs, which

740
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: is what Brandon being loves to do. And then you

741
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: love to leap the draft open, especially those first three

742
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: rounds for wants rather than needs, so they can take

743
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: the best available and you take care of the defensive line.

744
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: You get some past drushers in there in free agency,

745
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: you get some offensive linemen in free agency, you address

746
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: the wide receiver issue to add more depth to that room,

747
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: and free agency get a guy like Stefon Diggs that

748
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: is going to help change an offense. And then from

749
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: there you can add some of those final pieces in

750
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: to help solidify this whole thing. And it's really exciting

751
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: just because to see what they did in free agency

752
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: and how much agencies has helped this team in the

753
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: past few years, and to also look at the landscape

754
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: and the bigger picture of how some of these mid

755
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: to late round guys have really helped the Buffalo Bills

756
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: in the last few years. You look at Tommy Sweeney,

757
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson, Devin Singletary, they have all played their part

758
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: on this roster. And I really believe that Brandon Bean

759
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: is going to do everything in his power to pick

760
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: guys who are going to be able to do something

761
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: this year. Maddie Glad, reporter for the Bills and PSC. Hey, Maddie,

762
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: you've been following for almost the last month. Now mock draft.

763
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: You have a wrap up of mock draft. You're latest.

764
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: I would to assume your last one was posted yesterday

765
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills dot com. Right, that's gonna be your

766
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: last one, I would think. No, you may think, but

767
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: I'm do one late tonight after the first round is over,

768
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: So that makes sense. All those mock drafts that come

769
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: out right after the first round, I will be collecting

770
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: all those and we will release that at some point

771
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: tomorrow or Friday. I would say, mid morning, because I'm

772
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: sure a lot will come out tomorrow morning as well.

773
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: So I found it interesting in your mock draft nine

774
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: point zh that came out yesterday, a lot of the

775
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: experts out there, guys who do mock drafts, have the

776
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: bills linked to an edge rusher or at least a

777
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: defensive player. But a lot of edge rushers in there.

778
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, Julian o'kwara, Jabari Suniga, those are two popular names.

779
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: I've also seen looking at some articles, is that aj

780
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 1: Epanessa could fall to us calevan Chasing. Some of these

781
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: guys that we were talking about in the first round

782
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: could start to fall all because of if they weren't

783
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: able to participate in the combine or they're forty times

784
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: weren't what people wanted. So I can totally see an

785
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: edge rusher being a viable option for this team with

786
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: the number fifty four pick, And it could be pretty

787
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: cool to watch one of those first rounders fall right

788
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: into our laps like it happened last year with at Oliver.

789
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: Now we weren't in the first round, we were in

790
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: the in the second round. We were in the first round,

791
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: and we got to wait and here comes at Oliver

792
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: to us, So it would be cool to watch someone

793
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: fall into the second round to us as well. Well, Mattie,

794
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: Murph and I have got a gentleman's bet, me being

795
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: the gentleman in the equation. But about we're gonna get

796
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: into Murph put me on the spot. He's wanting to

797
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: know what. We're gonna pick a couple of names of

798
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: guys that we think they're probably gonna be there, maybe

799
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: be a you know available, We're gonna have to pick names,

800
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: but for us, right now, today, before anything ever starts,

801
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: I think the spot that I really think the Bills

802
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: are gonna pick at fifty, I'm just gonna go out.

803
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you to do the same. I think

804
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a corner more than anything else. I

805
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: think they're gonna find a guy there that has the

806
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: right size, the right physicality, the right temperament, and the

807
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: right athleticism to be a multiple. You know, a corner

808
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: that could play man to man, but it's better in

809
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: zone than he is. You know, a guy that fits

810
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense like Josh Norman fitted so well, like

811
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: like Turdavious White. So I think that's my call for

812
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: the position the Bills are gonna grab at fifty four

813
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: is your position? Are you gonna go with the edge guy?

814
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: Like the mock drafts, are I'm gonna go edge? That's

815
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna stick with. But that group of corners

816
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: is really enticing because after CJ. Henderson and after Jeff Acuda,

817
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: there is this pack of corners that have been mocked

818
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: in the first round or have been in the second round,

819
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: and so I think that's personally, I think that's the

820
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: most interesting thing to see is when some of these

821
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: corners will go, guys like Jalen Johnson, Jeff glad Me,

822
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: Trevon Diggs. They could go as early as the first

823
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: or they could be in the second round. And so

824
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: if they fall to the second round, uh, I think

825
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: some teams could trade up to try and get some

826
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: corners that could could be a huge help on rosters. Murphy,

827
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: you want to chime in. You can always change your

828
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: mind before tomorrow. What's your position? You're gonna wait until tomorrow.

829
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see who's out there. Maddy's right, there will

830
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: be at the at the last third of tonight's draft,

831
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: there will be a run on some position rightbe'll be

832
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. Maybe it'll be corners. I'm gonna wait

833
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: and see how that run goes tonight. I don't need to.

834
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: I don't think they're picking today, so it doesn't matter

835
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: what I say today. Yeah, Mattie, thanks for this, Maddie, thanks,

836
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,920

855
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to get into a domestic dispute with you.

856
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: But whoever steal on your lunch in the kitchen stalling,

Speaker 1: see with you. You're sitting there watching in the kitchen

859
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: while I'm me. I'm kind of secluded more in my

860
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: house so they can do anything they want over there.

861
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: One thing I have to worry about is Vern snoring

862
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: on the air for us. So we've had that. We've heard.

863
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: My problems are less than yours in this situation. Hey,

864
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: our Twitter call today, which side of the ball do

865
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,479
Speaker 1: the Bills need to address more? In this year's draft,

866
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: Offense or Defense got three hundred seventy votes. In sixty

867
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: three percent of you say offense, thirty seven percent say defense.

868
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: Let's look at the tweet sheet brought to you by

869
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: Cargan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

870
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: Offense or Defense, which side of the ball. They need

871
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: more attention to que tweets in defense. We have too

872
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: many players with expiring contracts after the season. I have

873
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 1: to continue to build for the future and get younger

874
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. That's that's something to consider,

875
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: and I believe me. I'm sure they consider it, right See, yeah,

876
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: but I don't. It's not bothered me that much. For

877
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: one reason. They that's there, that's the way they do it.

878
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: They've got a ton of guys on short contracts. And

879
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: now you've got a couple of guys, uh, well like

880
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy, Jerry Hughes, you know those are those are

881
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: pretty prominent players, pretty prominent contributors, no question. But they're

882
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: used to doing that now. I'll tell you this, though,

883
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: they do have some guys coming in. Uh. I think

884
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: they are going to have to get younger. You can

885
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: bet that after this year there probably will be some

886
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: new faces up in that rotation. But having the fact

887
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: that they've got expiring contracts next year doesn't really bother

888
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: me too much. Um. They're really good at refurbishing and

889
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: replenishing the cupboards. They've done it this year. They did

890
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: it this year when they signed uh uh. You know

891
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: the free agents they did this year, you know, on

892
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: the on the defensive line, they got got you know

893
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: they got uh uh, I mean they Dita Addison, they

894
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: got Mario Addison, Vernon Butler, Quentin Jefferson. There's gonna be

895
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: players like that out there this year and then and

896
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: they will. They dealt with one of their videos firing

897
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: contracts by extending Turnavious White his fifth year option. If

898
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: the que of the guy who tweeted in is talking

899
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: about Milano and Dalking for example, yeah, they're going to

900
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 1: the final year of their initial rookie contract. But Brandon

901
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: Bean has said they value those guys and they normally well,

902
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: they will probably maintain their usual practice of waiting until

903
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: after the draft to get those guys resided. I think

904
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: that's what they'll do. Yeah, it's true, and we thought

905
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: talked about this early in the offseason. It's a different

906
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: offseason for the Bills. They're not building anymore. Now, they're

907
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: refurbishing and maintaining and trying getting a couple of extra

908
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: contributors to put them over the top for a championship.

909
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,959
Speaker 1: It's we've never seen They've never gone through a round

910
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: of contracts like this where they've got guys they want

911
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: to re up. We've seen a ton of guys falls

912
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: on the wayside or get traded or not renewed or

913
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: let walk like Jordan Phillips and Shack Lawson. We've seen

914
00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: a ton of guys do that over the first three

915
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: years of this regime. We haven't seen him go through

916
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: a group where you've got a list of guys that

917
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: me and you and a lot of Bills fans want

918
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: to see him keep. We haven't seen him resign these

919
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: guys yet. So they've done it a couple of times,

920
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: but not as not at this level, you know, not

921
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: with these guys that you know that are near and

922
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: dear to him that they drafted. So it's it's going

923
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: to be a different offseason and we have yet to

924
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: see him do it. Although you know, with the Tredavious

925
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: White option pick up, you know that was kind of

926
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: a no brainer, like we said, but see how these

927
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: contracts work with Milano, with Dim Dawkins, with Turdavious White,

928
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: and then next year they got josh Alice, Tremaine Edmond's

929
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: coming up. So we haven't seen him do this yet.

930
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: So I'm still waiting to see how it's gonna work. Yeah,

931
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna take him bready care. When we

932
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk to a guy who's been intimately

933
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: involved in draft rooms over the years, including the Buffalo

934
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: Bills where he was National scout for a couple of years.

935
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: He was the New York Giants Vice president of Player

936
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: of Evaluation for a while. We talked to him last

937
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: at the combine. We'll revisit with Mark Ross, who's an

938
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,480

950
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: the number one pick. We're not going to trade that

951
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: pick to the Dolphins in today's draft. That's according to ESPN.

952
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: The Dolphins reportedly called on more than one occasion over

953
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, but we're told by the Bengal

954
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: they were not trading to pick. The Bengal said they

955
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: were going to stay at number one overall. The Bills

956
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: took the expected step of extending Trenavious White beyond the

957
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season. They exercised the fifth year option on

958
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,279

961
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: seventh pick in Round one back in twenty seventeen. It's

962
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: fifth year salary will be the average of a number

963
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: of salaries in the first round. The wing of the

964
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: Patriots signing former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marquis Leader a

965
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: one year contract. Lee became a free agent Monday when

966
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: he was released by the Jaguars. As the NFL mall's

967
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: contingency plans were conducting the regular season in the fall.

968
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: Leaders of the players unions say they're considering a variety

969
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: of options. They'd be receptive to any scenario conceived what

970
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: the health and the safety of players in mind. According

971
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: to people familiar with the NFL's planning, the league's considering

972
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: a shortened season, games and empty stadiums or partially filled stadiums,

973
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: or games being relocated or maybe even rescheduled. And the

974
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: Rob Gunkowski Tom Brady re union may have become a

975
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: fisher when the Tampa Bay Bucks acquired his rights on Tuesday.

976
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: The Seeds, though planned two months ago, Gronkowski said yesterday

977
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: he linked up with Grady to throw around the football

978
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: before the quarterbacks signed a two year deal with the

979
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: Bucks March twentieth. It's the first time Gunkowski had touched

980
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: the ball since he worked out with Grady in his

981
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: last year at UCLA. Worked up with Grady last year

982
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: at UCLA. There you go. That is the update from

983
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. John Murphy, Steve Tasker ready to start

984
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: our number two of the show and joining us on

985
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: the line right now. NFL Network analysts, former vice president

986
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: of player evaluation for the New York Giants, spent twenty

987
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: years scouting in the NFL for the Giants and the Eagles,

988
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: was with the Bills as the national scout from two

989
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: thousand and four through two thousand and sixteen. Happy to

990
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: have Mark Ross on the line with us. You haven't

991
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: talked to Mark since the Combine or two thousand and six.

992
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: Haven't talked to Mark since the Combine a couple of

993
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: months ago. It seems like years ago, now, doesn't it. Marks?

994
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: There we talked, Yeah, it does seem like a long time. Man.

995
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: It's you know, NFL days or about double regular days.

996
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: So just a lot, a lot of hours and a

997
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: lot of work. So and when we talk to you

998
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: back in February, one of us had any idea of

999
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: what this draft would look like. Nobody had this in mind, right,

1000
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: of course. Not. I mean an unprecedented event in the

1001
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: United States that it's not just with the NFL, but

1002
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: just the whole nation. And hopefully we're handling it well.

1003
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: Everybody's handling it well. And it seems like NFL teams

1004
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: have adjusted pretty quickly after some initial complaints and a

1005
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: little bit of whining and apprehension, but it seems like

1006
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: everybody's settled in and as far as the general managers

1007
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: and the teams and the coaches, that they're settled in

1008
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: and ready to go. What do you think the most

1009
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: underrated or understated challenges are with doing the draft the

1010
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: way they're doing it this year. Well, the preparation and

1011
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: all that, I think you had time to do that.

1012
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: It's controlled. I think the draft day process will be

1013
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: pretty controlled. An underrated aspect of it will be the

1014
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: post draft free agency where a team signed players who

1015
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: do not get drafted to still out the rosters. And

1016
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: with that, it's just so much chaos even during the

1017
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 1: regular draft, where you're just you have all your scouts,

1018
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: are your coaches trying to call. You're basically recruiting all

1019
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: these players within an hour or ten minutes, just trying

1020
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: to get them on your team. You're just recruiting, calling agents,

1021
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: calling the players and going back and forth. So that

1022
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's really chaos on a good day. So

1023
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: that's going to be the toughest challenge for teams is

1024
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: the plan for signing those guys. So I think you'll

1025
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: see a lot more of those players, those deals getting

1026
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: done before the draft is even over, as opposed to

1027
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: in a normal year. It's just a frenzy of activity

1028
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 1: post draft. Mark you did player personnel for the Giants

1029
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 1: obviously with the Bills. I wonder what teams have lost

1030
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: not having pro days. There haven't been many pro pro

1031
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: days this spring. What they've lost from the thirty visits

1032
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: they typically schedule prior to the draft this weekend. What

1033
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: do you think has been lost? Well, the most important

1034
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: aspect is that the medical. So you're a lot about teams,

1035
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, digging deep at the combine where they have

1036
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: the medicals and they have the medical rechecks. But even

1037
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: with that team's one have players, especially high profile players,

1038
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: let's just say a to where they want to have

1039
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: their own team doctors. They want to have their own

1040
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: trainers look at the player, just especially if there's major

1041
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: injuries to go over. And even though the doctors kind

1042
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: of trust other teams, they're still had their own evaluations

1043
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: and there's their own opinions about the health and longevity

1044
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: of players as far as injury concerns. So I think

1045
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: that'll be you might not see as many risks as

1046
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: far as some potential injury question marks in this draft.

1047
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: What do some teams do so much better than others

1048
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis? Certainly there's a it's an incestuous league.

1049
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you get a scout like yourself, You've worked

1050
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: for a couple of different teams, now you're working for

1051
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: the NFL Network. Can there are guys like you who

1052
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: have been with different teams. Why is it that some

1053
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: teams seem to do just a better job than other teams?

1054
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: What do they get right? Well, I think it's the

1055
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: stability when you look at the team, let's just say

1056
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens or the Steelers, where there's there's been a

1057
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: lot of stability, the same kind of people in the

1058
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 1: positions of control, same coaches, and everyone is on the

1059
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: same page about the type of player they're looking for.

1060
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: And also the coaches are on the same page as saying,

1061
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: okay with the scouts, if we're going to develop this guy.

1062
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: The coaches actually put in the time and effort to

1063
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: develop as opposed to some teams or hey they're a

1064
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff is new, they're just trying to get the

1065
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: guys they want, or a coaching staff is on the

1066
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: brink of possibly getting fired, like hey, we're just going

1067
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: to sign this guy just to get us through this year.

1068
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: And there's always turnover in chaos, so there's not the stability.

1069
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: So I think that the good teams that do it

1070
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: right have the stability and everyone's on the same page

1071
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: looking for the best player to bring into their organization

1072
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: and put in the time and the investment to develop

1073
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: those players. We're with Mark Cross, NFL network analysts. Mark.

1074
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: We had a guest on our show a week ago

1075
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: who called the Bills player personnel department an all star group,

1076
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: you know, with people like Dennis Hicky and Malik Boyd, etc.

1077
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: Is there such a thing? I mean, did the Bills

1078
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: and there's a too early to put that reputation of

1079
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: an all star player of group on the Buffalo Bills bunch. Yeah,

1080
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: I've never heard that turn for a personnel group. But

1081
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: they have a lot of different guys from a lot

1082
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: of different teams and who've had a lot of experience

1083
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: in the league. And it's a really big group as well,

1084
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: So I think that's maybe the reason why someone would

1085
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: have said that. But again, it's going to be the

1086
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: product from the field. You guys had a good year

1087
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: last year, made the playoffs, and just see where you

1088
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: go from there. Are you going to go four and

1089
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 1: twelve next year? We'll put out or fourteen in two

1090
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: and you'll see what happens from here and out. And

1091
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: the thing about the NFL, it always reveals itself and

1092
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: you have to play the games. And we can talk

1093
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: now about even with the draft, this player is going

1094
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: to be great, that player well, two or three years

1095
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: down the line will actually know for sure. So I

1096
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 1: think once the game start being played and we see

1097
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: what happens with the season, then you'll know. Mark, let

1098
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: me ask you a question about draft strategy. This is

1099
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 1: a year where the Bills parted with their first round

1100
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: pick to get a real proven player in Stefan Diggs.

1101
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: And is this There are different years, different drafts, And

1102
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: speaking of this year's draft, is this a good year?

1103
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: Because certainly the positions that the Bills might be need

1104
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: have a need at, like defensive end or wide receiver

1105
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: are heavier in this draft, so it might be an

1106
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: okay year to be out of the first round. Plus

1107
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,720
Speaker 1: all the glitches possible in the with the virtual draft

1108
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Is this a kind of a

1109
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 1: good year to step back from the first round because

1110
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: of the depth at certain positions, without a doubt, So

1111
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: the receiver position is very deep, the corner position is

1112
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: very deep, The offensive line position is very deep. So

1113
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: what happens when you have that is you feel like

1114
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: you can get value later on in the draft, first, second, third,

1115
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: fourth round, as opposed to overvaluing a position and reaching.

1116
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: You hear the term reaching, That means taking a player

1117
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: much earlier than they should be taken just because there's

1118
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: a scarcity of the product, the scarcity of value. Let's

1119
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: just say the tight end group this year, or the

1120
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: safety group where oh man, the best guy is really

1121
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: a third round pick, worth a third round pick, but

1122
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: we need a safety, so we're going to take him

1123
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: in the first round. So that's what gets you in trouble.

1124
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,439
Speaker 1: So this year, with certain positions, you can lay back

1125
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: and just say, hey, we feel comfortable in the second

1126
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: and third round with you get a quality starter at

1127
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: receiver or corner, as opposed to forcing our hand and

1128
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: making a mistake in that way. But with Mark Cross,

1129
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: the NFL network analysts talking about tonight's NFL draft, Mark's

1130
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: got twenty years of scouting experience, including about three years

1131
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills as national scout. Hey, Mark, what

1132
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: goes on in draft rooms? And I know they're all

1133
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: over the place now and there's not one central draft

1134
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: room for any team. But what goes on usually this

1135
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: day before the first round begins. Have you ever been

1136
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: around in your twenty years a team that totally revamped

1137
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: what they were thinking this late in the game, or

1138
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: is our things pretty much I'll set right now. If

1139
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: you're changing, if you're changing your board right now, you're

1140
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: in trouble. But it's you're pretty much done. You're just

1141
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 1: fine tuning it this week. You've had meetings for weeks

1142
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: and weeks where everybody in the room, the coaches, the scouts,

1143
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: the owners, and you're just talking about everything, hashing it out.

1144
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: Then these last couple of days, you're just going through

1145
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: all the scenarios. Okay, well, what if this happens, What

1146
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: if this happen with this guy falls to us? You

1147
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: just want to make sure and even things that may

1148
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: seem absurd, you have to talk through those things to

1149
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: say what happens just in case. So you're not making

1150
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: any major changes this week. You're just kind of fine

1151
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: tuning everything, making sure everyone's on the same page, making

1152
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: sure all the scenarios are covered to the best of

1153
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: your ability. And then it's a lot of waiting. Man,

1154
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: It's it's it's you know, the production is great on

1155
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: TV because every team you see the action, but when

1156
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: you're actually one team, you're just it's a lot of

1157
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: an hour or two worth of fury and action, and

1158
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: then you're kind of sitting around and waiting for ten

1159
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: hours before you pick again. So we'll see what happens. Mark,

1160
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: I had to ask you. In the last few years,

1161
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: it seems as though teams are much more willing to

1162
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: move around, even at the top of the draft, and

1163
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: certainly in later rounds as well. How often does it

1164
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: happen that something? I guess it would happen more often

1165
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: the second third round where it's more unpredictable. But how

1166
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: often does it happen where some team does something that

1167
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, the team picking one or two picks after

1168
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: them really has to reevaluate what they're going to do

1169
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: because they didn't see it coming. Does that happen particular?

1170
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: I guess it does, like I said, in the second

1171
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: third round, maybe because of the unpredictability that deep into

1172
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: the draft. But how often does it happen the team

1173
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: gets caught where their guy gets taken just ahead of them. Yeah, well,

1174
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: it's always it goes down the preparation and how the

1175
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: teams approach it and how well they have they their

1176
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: board stack and how much they're on the same page

1177
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: as one another. So when your pick is coming up,

1178
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,439
Speaker 1: you kind of just start what I've done with teams

1179
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: that I've been associated with. About an hour and a

1180
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: half hour before you're about to pick, you're just you're

1181
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: just really having a mini meeting again. You're just going

1182
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: through talking about, Okay, here's the group of players that

1183
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: should be available when we pick, and these or these

1184
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: are the four or five guys were really interesting it

1185
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: in and you know, when you're talking through those guys,

1186
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: one of them may get picked, two of them may

1187
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: get picked. But you want to make sure that you

1188
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: have a healthy group of players that you're about to

1189
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: talk about from how you've already stacked your board. And

1190
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: of course there's times where you have your eye on

1191
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: a guy and he gets picked right before you. But

1192
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: you should always be prepared to say what happens if

1193
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: this guy gets taken. You should never get caught off

1194
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: guard with being there stuff on the clock. You're saying,

1195
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what are we going to do now?

1196
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: So the teams that do it well are always prepared

1197
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: for scenarios and situations where you should be prepared for

1198
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: the unpredictable mark What are NFL teams make out of

1199
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: the media reports from the last few days. You know,

1200
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins said to be maybe moving out at

1201
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: number two, maybe they're not going to take Chase Young,

1202
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins making several overtures to the Bengals about the

1203
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,439
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. If you're in an NFL draft room,

1204
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: what do you think when you see these reports? Do

1205
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: you ignore them or do you think you know, where

1206
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: there's smoke, there might be some fire. Yeah, you just

1207
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: kind of laugh at those. But you always have to

1208
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: have you your guys that you talk to from other

1209
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: teams and your scouts or coaches, head coaches that kind

1210
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: of talk and get the field, the lay of the

1211
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: land for what's going on with the different teams. And

1212
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: it's funny leading up to the draft, you always here,

1213
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: this team's looking at trading up, this team is looking

1214
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: at trade and down. Well, all thirty two teams are

1215
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: looking to trade up, All thirty two teams are looking

1216
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: to trade down, and all thirty two teams are going

1217
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: to say if our guys they were going to take them.

1218
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,959
Speaker 1: So just the dance that you have to do every

1219
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: year around the draft time. But you really have to

1220
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: have your own kind of inside intelligence with your different

1221
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: teams to know what's really going on. Most of the

1222
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: surprises in these drafts, and most of the unpredictability of

1223
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: it comes from the quarterback position. Teams gotta have. They're

1224
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: always and forever. You know, you're obsessed with finding that

1225
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: guy if you don't have one. So when a guy

1226
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: like Joe Burrow comes out to a tag of vloa,

1227
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert comes out, all these guys they get picked

1228
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: where the team needs them to get pick. How do

1229
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: you see that falling this year with now you know

1230
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: a handful of guys that look like they may or

1231
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: may not be able to play quarterback at a high

1232
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: level being available, and what it's going to do to

1233
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: the top of the draft. Do you think it's gonna

1234
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: throw a wrench into things or do you think it's

1235
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna go pretty much on script? Yeah, I think of course,

1236
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, if the quarterback position is the most

1237
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: important position in sports, not just in football, so you

1238
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: have to have one to win, and you've seen teams

1239
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: make a lot of mistakes in the past is forcing

1240
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: forcing that I talked about the value of it, where

1241
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is overvalue, more overvalued than any position,

1242
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: just because you have to have it. You have to

1243
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: have that central piece to build your team around. But

1244
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: I think it will Barrow is already a certain need

1245
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: to go number one, and then it'll get interesting from

1246
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: there whether two will will be the second guy or

1247
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, or where's Jordan Love going to go? The

1248
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: intrigue with him, a guy like Jalen Hurts who's thoroughly

1249
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: impressed in his career, and where he'll go. So I

1250
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: think it's going to be after the first two picks

1251
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow and Chase Young to Washington, I think

1252
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the draft is just really going to get interesting there.

1253
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: As far as I think right now, I think Miami

1254
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: or whoever these teams would quarterback. They're interested inn know

1255
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: which guy they want, so I think it'll be just

1256
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: how if they'll stick, try to stick where they are,

1257
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: or make moves and try to jump up to get

1258
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: that player that they want the quarterback position. I live

1259
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: on the line with Mark Ross, NFL Network analyst scouting

1260
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: experience for more than twenty years, including three years with

1261
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: the Bills. You're talking a minute ago, Mark about teams,

1262
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, kind of having a mini meeting an hour

1263
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: hour and a half before they pick. I'm really fascinated

1264
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: by Brandon Bean's approach, you know, with a I don't

1265
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: think the Bills are picking tonight. I mean, I don't

1266
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 1: think they're gonna move up, but I do think they're

1267
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna take a look. And Brandon told us they're gonna

1268
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of meetings Friday and kind of reset

1269
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: their board as far as what's available. Guys who may

1270
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: have dropped out of the first round, that would be

1271
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: a fascinating meeting to begin right, They're likely to have

1272
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: a couple of pay soon would be there who could

1273
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: help this team at least three or four I would

1274
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: think going into the second round, you would think so.

1275
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,439
Speaker 1: And what you want to do is after your first round,

1276
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: after the first round has done, Thursday night's done, you

1277
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of just talk a little bit with your staff

1278
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: after it. But then the next day you kind of

1279
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: come in and reevaluate, and there's always players that you

1280
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: have ranked on your board that are different than the

1281
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: other teams. Thirty two teams that are are going to

1282
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: be thirty two different draft boards, thirty two different evaluations

1283
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: on the value of all these players. So, for instance,

1284
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: with I was with the Giants and we had Landing Collins,

1285
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: and we had him as you know, a mid first

1286
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: round pick, and here was he went through the whole

1287
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: first round, and then after the first round was over

1288
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: it going into day two was like, hey, we gotta

1289
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: get this guy. And we traded up in the second

1290
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: round to the first second pick, in the first pick

1291
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: in the second round to get Landing. So there'll be

1292
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: those kind of discussions that the Bills will have where

1293
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: they can just sit back, watch how things are playing out,

1294
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: see which guys they had valued real high are still there,

1295
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: and then asily make a move or feel comfortable with

1296
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,439
Speaker 1: where they're picking, that one of those guys will still

1297
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: make it to them at fifty four. I believe one

1298
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: of the things I notice about these draft and the

1299
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: meetings and the gms is that they want to take

1300
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: the emotion out of it. They want to get the

1301
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: best player there if possible. But one of the things

1302
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: that always inserts emotion into it is when a couple

1303
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: two or three or maybe even four players at one

1304
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: position get picked in succession. When there's a run on

1305
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: a position, walk us through the dynamics of trying to

1306
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: keep the emotion out of it, but understanding too that

1307
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the menu of players available at that spot, that her

1308
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: quality starts to shrink and shrink and shrink, and then

1309
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: your anxiety about getting one of them raises to the

1310
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: point where that's what cultivates a trade. That's a good point,

1311
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: and that's what I talked about earlier, Whereas you have

1312
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: to stick to your board and you can't overvalue players

1313
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: because you feel of a perceived need, and the best

1314
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: teams do it where okay, we see this as happening,

1315
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: but we cannot force a player who is not worth it.

1316
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: Let's say a third round pick and the next guy

1317
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: we have rated is only a fifth round pick. And

1318
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: you're get into trouble with doing that. And I've been

1319
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: in rooms where that's happening, like, oh my gosh, we

1320
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: have to have this DT or have to have this

1321
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: defensive end, and you jump, you jump guys over much

1322
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: much better players are higher valued players just because of

1323
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: the perceived need, and you get in trouble that way.

1324
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: So if you stick to your board, you stick to

1325
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: the months and months and months of the valuations that

1326
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: you've had and don't get desperate and emotional in that instant.

1327
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: That's when you have a successful draft. Hey, Mark, I

1328
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: have a built question that is also a league wide question.

1329
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of fans on our show the

1330
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks talking about how badly the Bills

1331
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: need a running back, maybe they should get one in

1332
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: the second round. They think, how badly do you think

1333
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: the Bills need a running back? Number one and number two?

1334
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: How badly does anybody in the NFL need a running back?

1335
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: How much have they value? Would that be a legitimate

1336
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: fifty fourth overall pick? Well, it's the running back position.

1337
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: Of course, we've seen guys successful all throughout the draft,

1338
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: first through seventh round picks. Where you've seen, you know,

1339
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: even free agents, guys that have gotten signed, you know

1340
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: after the draft that have been successful. You guys Devin

1341
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: Singletary in the third round last year. So you know,

1342
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: I think the running back position is the shelf life

1343
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: of it is so short that you don't have to

1344
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: overvalue that position. If you can get a good player

1345
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: there and you feel comfortable that he can help your

1346
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: team or what your window is for the shelf life

1347
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: of that running back, then make that move. But I

1348
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: think they'll definitely be some intriguing running backs in the

1349
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: second round for the Bills. Do not think they need

1350
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: to address it at that point just because Singletary showed

1351
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: so much promise. T J Yell and I believe you

1352
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 1: guys have a backup, so I think later on would

1353
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: be you could get a guy and prioritize other positions

1354
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: more so the defense with those first couple picks in

1355
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: the pass rusher and another corner possibly, so that I

1356
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,439
Speaker 1: think that would be more of the way to go. Mark.

1357
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: The Bills picked their franchise quarterback a couple of years ago,

1358
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,919
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. People have clamored for him to play better,

1359
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 1: of course, but also for the Bills to give him

1360
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: more weapons. Do you see him as having enough weapons

1361
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: to be successful or are the Bills going to continue

1362
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: to need to give him the best weapon of all

1363
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: And that's a good defense because they're going to struggle

1364
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: to score points with him a quarterback. Well, what's your

1365
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: thought on his weapons on the offensive side of the ball,

1366
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: particularly since they traded for Stefan Diggs. Yeah, I think

1367
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: he has plenty of talent there with Diggs and Beasley

1368
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: and John Brown, and you know it's with Singletary. So

1369
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback, the interesting thing is how good they are

1370
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: is how much they raise the level of everyone else

1371
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: as opposed to how much everyone else has to do

1372
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: to raise the level of the quarterback. So the better

1373
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks can raise the level make plays on his

1374
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 1: own as opposed to no matter what's around him. That

1375
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,439
Speaker 1: shows what true greatness is. And the question is still

1376
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: out with Josh Allen whether he's the guy that can

1377
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: raise everyone one else's level or you have to have

1378
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: everything around him. The defense, Hey, you need you need

1379
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: the defense, you need the receiver, you need the running game,

1380
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: you need a good line. Well, that means you don't

1381
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: have the right quarterback. If you're talking about all those

1382
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: things that have to happen and be perfect for your

1383
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 1: quarterback to succeed, then you should have a little bit

1384
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: of worry. So I think he has plenty of weapons.

1385
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: I think the defense needs to. If they get even

1386
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 1: better than last year, we'll put it in a position

1387
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: where you don't put much on Josh Allen. But Josh

1388
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: Allen is going to have to make plays in order

1389
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: for the Bills to take another step. Hey, Mark, how

1390
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 1: will you watch the first round tonight? Partner here Steve

1391
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: Taskers thinking about drinking copious amounts of beer. But what's

1392
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 1: your plan for tonight? Are you going to take the

1393
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: first round today? I try to dry out during the week,

1394
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: so maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Friday Saturday, I'll have a

1395
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 1: whole fashion and manhats make up in the house. But

1396
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: tonight I'll try to lay out, drink, drink some club

1397
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: soda or something to sit here in my living room

1398
01:08:56,360 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: and watch it. I prefer the plan of training to

1399
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: get there to be ready for that, So I got

1400
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: a couple of good training runs in for during before

1401
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really dry as. It's like stopping

1402
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: running to get ready for a marathon. Now you run

1403
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: more to get ready for the marathon. That's that's been

1404
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: my That's been my philosophy. I recommend it to you.

1405

1432
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think it's gonna be a fun night.

1433
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: I think it's I don't know what we're gonna we'll

1434
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: talk about, well, everything that's going on. I think there's

1435
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a ton to talk about. The trades up

1436
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: to trade ups. Were also going to have those teams.

1437
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to have those teams that are

1438
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: going to be exposed for the liars they are leading

1439
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: in what they said leading up to the draft. If

1440
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,759
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins picked two at tag of Vloa, they've

1441
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: done nothing but a lie for months about Haskins, how

1442
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: much they liked him, about all of that stuff. And

1443
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: sure enough, it may be that they pick him. Same

1444
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: thing with Detroit. They may or may not pick it

1445
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: number three. A lot of people we talked you over

1446
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the next ensuing weeks, Mervin said the Detroit and they

1447
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: said it openly. The phone lines are open, so they may,

1448
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, trade out of that. And who's who's it

1449
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: gonna be there's only a handful of teams that you

1450
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: would think would be in the running for the number

1451
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: three overall pick because they nobody else has got the

1452
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: capital to get there. So we'll have all of that

1453
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: to talk about, and the surprises, as they're always as

1454
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: we anticipate there will be, there are going to be

1455
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: the fun part of it. Here's the you mentioned Washington

1456
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: and number two maybe not taking Chase Young, maybe moving down,

1457
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: maybe choosing their quarterback there. The Washington is one of

1458
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: those teams and you call them liars. Yeah, I would too,

1459
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: But they're one of those teams that would surprise it

1460
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: would not surprise me whatever they do. They're kind of

1461
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: an unpredictable, an unpredictable mess down there in Washington, don't

1462
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: you think. Yeah, they seem to be a little bit chaotic,

1463
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,600
Speaker 1: uh in there. You know they've changed plans and I

1464
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: think you know they've they've got an owner that loves

1465
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: to get involved, whether um for whatever reason, he wants

1466
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 1: to make picks, you know, and then they've done it.

1467
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: I think he was given a lot of uh credit,

1468
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: well credit or whatever it was alluded to that he

1469
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: made the pick for Dwayne Haskins out of Ohio State.

1470
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: He wanted that guy. Um, Now they're gonna pick two

1471
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 1: attack of Iloa the next year. It says a lot

1472
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: about the problems they've had on the field. Yeah, I agree. Hey,

1473
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: let me I'm gonna change years. By the way, the

1474
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 1: phone line's open at eight fifty toll free one eight

1475
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two fifty. Got time to call in.

1476
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: Now you have an answer to our question. What side

1477
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: of the draft of the Bills need to address more

1478
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: in this year's NFL draft. Give us a call or

1479
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: whatever you want to talk about, probably about the draft.

1480
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 1: Bull Nine's open for the next several minutes here. I

1481
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: want to change gears, teep. We talked about yesterday how

1482
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: the Saints and coach Sean Payton just basically called off

1483
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: any offseason workout plan. He said, you know what, we'll

1484
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 1: see you the summer when things clear up. We don't

1485
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: have anything planned for you. And I mentioned yesterday how

1486
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: I was surprised by that. I found it unsettling that

1487
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: a team would do that. I was talking to a

1488
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,440
Speaker 1: friend of mine who coaches in a different sport in basketball,

1489
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: but he said, I think it's a good idea that

1490
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: they did that, And I thought. I said, why, He said,

1491
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, you're putting the onus on the players. Show

1492
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: up in shape, you know, pay attention to what we

1493
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: did last year. If you got to, if you got

1494
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: a veteran enough team, you might be able to do that.

1495
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: But I still am not comfortable with that. If that

1496
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: were my team, I'd be like, what, everybody's out there

1497
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: practice and we're not doing anything. I'm glad by the

1498
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: way the Bills aren't doing anything, but are not following

1499
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: the Saints lead. I should say. I just think it's

1500
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: kind of weird, but I get it. Put the onness

1501
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: on the players, right. Yeah, here's the thing, though, Murphy

1502
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: and all, with all due respect to your friend who

1503
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: coaches basketball. Basketball has got twelve guys, You got six,

1504
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have eighty five guys in training camp for

1505
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: the Buffalo was eighty five and twenty of them what

1506
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, twenty of them twenty five? You don't even

1507
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:32,560
Speaker 1: know who they are yet, I would say to me,

1508
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: it more likely speaks to a head coach who's pretty

1509
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: confident he's not on the hot seat, whose ownership has

1510
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: already told him that this this season is might be

1511
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: a washer. Is not going to be held against him

1512
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: if if he struggles to keep it together. So he said,

1513
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, are fine, I'm gonna give my I'm gonna

1514
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 1: put it on my players. I'm gonna say, listen, we're done,

1515
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: just come back ready to play. He goes, I, you

1516
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: know whatever. So I'm pretty sure it's a head coach

1517
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,600
Speaker 1: like Sean Payton. It's wonder world champion ship, been to

1518
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, should have gone to the super Bowl two

1519
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: years ago, all of that stuff. He's pretty confident and

1520
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: no matter what happens this year on the field, he's

1521
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: going to be back the next year. And he's pretty

1522
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 1: confident in his players and his ability to win games

1523
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: with the guys he's got with his crucial guys. I'm

1524
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: sure you know, having talked it out like this, Sean

1525
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: Payton knows Drew Brees gonna show up ready to play.

1526
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 1: He didn't have to ride, you know, keep his thumb

1527
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,639
Speaker 1: on Drew Brees saying hey and call him every day.

1528
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: He knows he's going to be ready to play when

1529
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it. He's probably got more

1530
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: than a handful of other players that he trusts that

1531
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: way as well. So he's a head veteran head coach

1532
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 1: who has won a world championship, has been there a

1533
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: long time, has a quarterback that he can depend on completely.

1534
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: He is in a different spot than a lot of

1535
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: head coaches around the NFL in order to say, hey, listen, guys,

1536
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: I'll see in July. Yeah, you know what I mean.

1537
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: So he's not every guy can do it, not every

1538
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: guy wants to do it, but he's only one of

1539
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: a few that could. I think. I wonder I don't

1540
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: have the answer to this. How the money factors into

1541
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: a workout bonuses? Is that a factor? Is that something

1542
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: that a team might say, Hey, we don't have to

1543
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: pay workout bonuses and we don't do even these virtual workouts.

1544
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's a fact? YEA, what do you think? Yeah,

1545
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: it probably has something to do with it. I'm sure

1546
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: it's a consideration from every team if they've gotten, you know,

1547
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:25,440
Speaker 1: depending on how many players they've got who have workout bonuses.

1548
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: What the total what the total number is for your

1549
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: your club, and by number, I mean dollar amount that

1550
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: could possibly be paid out and workout bonuses. You're completely

1551
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: off the hook for those if you totally wash out.

1552
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 1: Excuse me, if you totally wash out their opportunity to

1553
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 1: work out. By the same token, the players could come

1554
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: back and say, hey, listen, I did everything you asked

1555
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 1: me to do, even though you asked me to do nothing. Yeah,

1556
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: give me the money, right, you know your program didn't exist,

1557
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: and I took complete one hundred percent part in that program,

1558
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: So pay me the money. There was a really I

1559
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: can't remember where I read it this morning. Somebody, maybe

1560
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: our producer Jay Harris knows somebody had a short piece

1561
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: was an on Buffalo bills dot com about Mario Addison

1562
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 1: talking about the Bills offseason program and the first couple

1563
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: of days. I think that might be where I read it,

1564
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 1: but it was interesting. Addison said, Bills players have the

1565
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: option to work out physically either in the morning or

1566
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, and then then they have meetings right

1567
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 1: around noontime each day. And I thought, well, that's a plan,

1568
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: and that that's what was comforting to me. The Bills

1569
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:36,600
Speaker 1: have a plan that they've instituted and they're following, and

1570
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: a new guy like Mario Addison is going to pay

1571
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 1: attention to that plan at least during this first week. Now.

1572
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: I think that's good. Yeah, And it's one thing we've

1573
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 1: learned about this. It's been one of the things that

1574
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: has been great about having Sean McDermott as your head coach.

1575
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: Whenever something happens, he's you get the feeling he's already

1576
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: been thinking about it. He's already got a plan, he's

1577
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: going to implement it. His players are well informed about it,

1578
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: and they are ready to hit the ground running in

1579
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 1: every scenario that's come up. And I think that's been

1580
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to see your football team run like,

1581
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: gets ahead of the curve all the time, and that's

1582
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: that's a good place to be. So it doesn't surprise me.

1583
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me that the new guys like Addison

1584
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,719
Speaker 1: have said, wow, look at that, you know, yeah, yeah, interesting.

1585
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 1: All right, we got a break care. When we come back,

1586
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,360

1589
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,200

01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: world has changed since I was last on when we

01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 1: were talking. Before we go any further, I don't want

1603
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: to forget this. I just want to thank you. I

1604
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: don't know how much you have to do with Good

1605
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: Morning Football, but it is great that that show is

1606
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: back on the air this week. I think there's great

1607
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:32,719
Speaker 1: chemistry between those four and even though they're in different

1608
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,719
Speaker 1: locations and I'm sure it's a production nightmare to put together,

1609
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: it's really good to have them back on the ear.

1610
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: We'd love that show. I appreciate it. You know, those

1611
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 1: those Nates, Ka, Kyle, and Peter, they're great. And there's

1612
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, the producers and the people who oversee that

1613
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: show are working really hard to try to, you know,

1614
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: give a little bit of normalcy back for those in

1615
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: Western New York and across the nation. So I appreciate

1616
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 1: you saying that they're they're working hard, they care about

1617
01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,879
Speaker 1: everything going on, both inside the football world and outside.

1618
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: So very kind of you to say, what went into

1619
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: the decision for this broadcast tonight? How what were the

1620
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: major obstacles between getting the NFL Network and ESPN to

1621
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: do this together and the NFL and what was a

1622
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: major obstacle towards making this decision? And why did you

1623
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 1: unify it like you did? Yeah, I mean, Steve, it's

1624
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: it's a great question. And basically we're limited with NFL

1625
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: network being based in California. You know, we're still at

1626
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: shelter at home. We can't get into a control room,

1627
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: we can't get into our offices. So you know, it's

1628
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: about a month ago, about five weeks ago that the

1629
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: decision was made with Bristol and ESPN still up and running,

1630
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: following social distancing and proper protocol because safety is the

1631
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: most important thing that between the league, NFL Network, and ESPN,

1632
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: it was it was I think a smart decision in

1633
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:54,600
Speaker 1: the days and times we're living in right now to

1634
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:59,759
Speaker 1: just come together, unify and do one broadcast that quite frankly,

1635
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of buzz and a lot

1636
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: of people are looking forward to tonight, and um, you know,

1637
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: I know that football fans tend to be passionate and

1638
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: there's something to look forward to, and I think that's

1639
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 1: a good thing in today's day and age. And you know, Steve,

1640
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:14,560
Speaker 1: like I said, it was, it was a decision that

1641
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: was probably just destined to happen, just based on what

1642
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: we can and can't do at you know, the NFL

1643
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,719
Speaker 1: Network studios. But it's been something that's been pretty rewarding

1644
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 1: and I think anyone you talk to from from ESPN

1645
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: or the league or with us as has found this

1646
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 1: to be kind of inspiring. And hopefully we can raise

1647
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: some some good funds tonight with the NFL drafts on

1648
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: and do some good outside of just you know, watching

1649
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:43,879
Speaker 1: the player selection process. Charlie YOUNFL Network vice president of Production,

1650
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: give us a kind of a preview. What would it

1651
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: look like tonight, Charlie, what's going to be the typical

1652
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: lookup tonight's Round one coverage? Yeah, so you're gonna see

1653
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the ESPN Studios, Trey Wingle will be there hosting it.

1654
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 1: They'll be producing that out of there, so that will

1655
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: look quote unquote normal. What will kind of look different

1656
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 1: than other drafts is we're obviously not in Vegas and

1657
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: we're on in the location, but people will be familiar

1658
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: with watching whatever they've been watching, people in boxes on

1659
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: different remotes, on home cams, using computers, doing what they

1660
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: can from their homes. So you're going to see a

1661
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of people at home, from the talent to the commissioner.

1662
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 1: The commissioner just posted on Twitter too recent about an

1663
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: hour ago, the tour of his basement where he's actually

1664
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 1: conducting picks and doing business. You're going to see a

1665
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: lot of players. We have fifty eight confirmed players from

1666
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: the remote cameras. Obviously not of them selected tonight, but

1667
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, spread across the three days, coaches and general

1668
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: managers with their with their cameras and phones set up

1669
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: when we at least seeing shots to them, so you

1670
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: know you're going to see I think I guess the

1671
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 1: best way to phrase it is kind of a little

1672
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: more intimate broadcast where you get a glimpse of, you know,

1673
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: inside the walls of where people actually live high that

1674
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: transplate unsure. But I think the desire and the passion

1675
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: to see any sort of sporting event, even though it's

1676
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: not a game being played on the field, I think

1677
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: we should see, you know, hopefully some some a good

1678
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 1: tune in and provide just the least several hours of

1679
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: respite for those, you know, fighting the bigger fight than

1680
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: we all have. How many feeds do you actually have?

1681
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Is there you know? Is it they're fifty eight or

1682
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 1: however many players you just said in thirty plus thirty

1683
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: two teams plus the studio. How many are we talking about,

1684
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, intertwining into this broadcast? Yeah, so, Stephen, a

1685
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: normal broadcast you would get maybe fifty sixty seventy feet

1686
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: sometimes eighty. When we were doing Day three with the

1687
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:46,919
Speaker 1: picks coming from club sites. Tonight, we're looking at upwards

1688
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: because because of the joint broadcast and where everyone is

1689
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: and everyone spread out, we're looking at close to two

1690
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: hundred feets. That is a challenge when things are healthy.

1691
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 1: That is a challenge when you're all in a truck

1692
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: or a studio. It is a ginormous challenge when everyone

1693
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: is separated from each other, you know, for a good reason.

1694
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: But you know there were some reports about that. You know,

1695
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: there's some hiccups that and the other. We have a

1696
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: lot of talented people that work for ESPN, for us

1697
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 1: at the league that know what they're doing, that have tested,

1698
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 1: that have rehearsed. Will there be hiccups? Probably? You can't

1699
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: control what you can't control the technical part of it. Again,

1700
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: I think all of us it's safe to safe, feel

1701
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: pretty confident that the business at hand, which is the

1702
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:33,799
Speaker 1: most important thing that we got to respect for the clubs,

1703
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 1: we're ready to do that. And then hopefully the broadcast

1704
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: itself can do some good. And you said, Charlie, fifty

1705
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: eight players involved, and apparently they all got their own

1706
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 1: little way to look up their video and audio and

1707
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 1: be part of the broadcast tonight or tomorrow. Have you

1708
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 1: had to, you know, coach up some of those players

1709
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: on what they're doing and how to use it and

1710
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: how that will work. Well. The funny thing is, John,

1711
01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: is that they usually have to coach us up kids

1712
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: these days, no tech better than we do. So you know,

1713
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: we delivered them a couple of phones with the lights

1714
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: and the tripod and there's a phone that's always on,

1715
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: and then there's a phone that they'll be connecting interviews with,

1716
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 1: whether it's with the commissioner or Susie colber Um. But

1717
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 1: they've kind of you know, it's like a fish to water.

1718
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: They absolutely know sometimes better than we do. Um. So

1719
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: everything's set up. Those shots have been looked at, so

1720
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna hopefully see whenever the names are announced. You know,

1721
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow will see him Chase Young to a tongue

1722
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: of ioloa. All the big names and all the names

1723
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 1: that are going to be read throughout the three days,

1724
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: you'll see shots of them with the emotion, shots that

1725
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: I think people still care about, of that celebration when

1726
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: they when they do become a part of the NFL

1727
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: and part of the team that selects them. Yeah, you're right,

1728
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah I should have known you. Can you send one

1729
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: of those players to my house to coach me up

1730
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: on how to do our radio show every day? Charly,

1731
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: as long as there's seven people are less than the house,

1732
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: I think will be okay. Can you give us a rundown?

1733
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: And you said you went through the technical stuff, was

1734
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: there anything what was totally in these these prep packages

1735
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: that you sent the players. I know, you know a

1736
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 1: camera phone or a light or whatever, what else was

1737
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 1: in there? No, I mean it really, Steve, that was it.

1738
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: It was It was the camera phone, it was the light,

1739
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,640
Speaker 1: it was the stand. And then instruction's hot. You know

1740
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 1: which one's always on, which one isn't on, where to

1741
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 1: place it, you know, just to making sure that we're

1742
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: following rules, because again, safety is the most important thing. Um,

1743
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, less than tend to a room. Um, and

1744
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 1: when your moment happens, you know, just just act natural

1745
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: and we'll celebrate it along you. Again, the most important

1746
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:34,599
Speaker 1: thing for all this is that we respect the process,

1747
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,719
Speaker 1: We respect the business at hand, and respect the players

1748
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: and the families wishes at home. Um, this is in

1749
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: a game of gotcha. It's like it's if we were

1750
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: in a green room. We're not going to show players

1751
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: sliding and seeing that emotion. You're just not going to

1752
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: see that anymore. I think we're going to focus on

1753
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,760
Speaker 1: the positive in the hope that we have on once

1754
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: that moment happens, to see them celebrate. But you know,

1755
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: nothing to elaborate, Steve. It's really just three or four

1756
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: items that they get. Um, They're all interesting and left

1757
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: they're all to get hats. So whatever team they get selected,

1758
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 1: they'll have one of thirty two to choose from. UM,

1759
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: so you'll see that moment as well. But certainly, you

1760
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 1: know it's I can't sit here and say what exactly

1761
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 1: it's going to look like because we've never done this before.

1762
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,600
Speaker 1: But we feel pretty confident that, you know, like I

1763
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,719
Speaker 1: said the businessman, we'll take precedence and we'll follow along

1764
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 1: as we always do. What have you what instructions are

1765
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, what have you talked to Trey Wingo about?

1766
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be like the only face you know,

1767
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,759
Speaker 1: there's going to be in any kind of normal setting. Obviously,

1768
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 1: an MC usually directs traffic for the broadcast anyway, but

1769
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 1: instead of having four or five cars to direct, he's

1770
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna have, you know, the huddled masses with two hundred

1771
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: feeds to direct too. It's going to be a huge,

1772
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: huge undertaking for Trey as well. Right, Yeah, and he's ready.

1773
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,639
Speaker 1: We've we've had multiple meetings, you know, much like everyone else.

1774
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: We're doing a lot of the meetings on conferencing and

1775
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 1: you know, the the ESPN guys is it's always funny

1776
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: people say, is there you know, I thought you guys

1777
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: arrivals or competitions. Like I said, this is a combined broadcast.

1778
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: They've been more than accommodating. They're driving this train. The

1779
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 1: meetings have been excellent. I think we're ready to go.

1780
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,679
Speaker 1: We had a meeting this morning. Everyone's kind of ready

1781
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:21,640
Speaker 1: to rock and roll and just do this. But you know,

1782
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: he's a pro, He's done a lot of drafts. The

1783
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 1: producers are incredible. They're going to give him the exact

1784
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: traffic they need to go. But um, you know a

1785
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,479
Speaker 1: lot of times in Steve, you know this is you know,

1786
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: doing doing games and everything else. Sometimes the best moments

1787
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: are just to lay out and let the moment happen.

1788
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 1: So that's that's where we're gonna hope for tonight. But

1789
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: you know, trade's gonna be great and then we expect

1790
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 1: great things tonight. Hey, Charlie, NFL Networks Charles Davis was

1791
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: on the show with this a couple of days ago,

1792
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: and he really kind of put me in the right

1793
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: frame of mind for this draft. And yeah, we all

1794
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: acknowledge there are challenges, there's going to be differences. It

1795
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: won't have the glitz and maybe some of the splash

1796
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: of previous drafts, but it's live sports. It's a challenge

1797
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,679
Speaker 1: for everybody, including the commissioner and you guys an NFL

1798
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 1: network and ESPN. It's gonna be fun tonight, right. I

1799
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: think I'm really looking forward to this broadcast in this

1800
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: draft this year. Yeah, Look, John, I think the biggest

1801
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: key is this. I think we all get it. We

1802
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 1: all understand what's going on, and if we can just

1803
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: provide a little bit of entertainment, a little bit of fun,

1804
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: and a little bit of just a distraction for the

1805
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: three four or five hours if you watch pregamer postgame,

1806
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 1: you know, just to just to basically take away from

1807
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with, but also honoring those that are

1808
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: fighting the front lines. You know, there is a cause

1809
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 1: social draft with though tonight where if you log on

1810
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:42,080

1824
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: which is watch this game and you know, our game

1825
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 1: of football. Well, I got to ask you one last thing.

1826
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:30,640
Speaker 1: Charlie Murph and I have talked at times briefly about this,

1827
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 1: but I expect this to almost get Super Bowl ratings.

1828
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody in the country has nothing else to do.

1829
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the most maybe the most widely

1830
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 1: watched TV program in decades, and that may be the

1831
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 1: silver lining for all of us, the fact that we

1832
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 1: can be unified by just an NFL draft that's done remotely.

1833
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: It should be a lot of fun and I expect

1834
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 1: it to be really, really widely watched. Do you Yeah,

1835
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 1: we hope, So you know, if we got a glimpse

1836
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 1: of anything, you know, there was a lot of hype

1837
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 1: this past weekend with the Last Dance, the Chicago Bulls

1838
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:06,800
Speaker 1: documentary and a lot of people watch that and that

1839
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:10,680

1840
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 1: a this is a live sporting event. So we're hopeful.

1841
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,600
Speaker 1: And again, the more eyeballs we get, the more opportunity

1842
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 1: we get to help to help you know, fundraise and

1843

1882
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals have told the Dolphins a number of

1883
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 1: times they would not trade the number one overall pick

1884
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,759
Speaker 1: in tonight's NFL Draft. According to league sources and ESPN,

1885
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins called on more than one occasion over the

1886
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 1: last few weeks, but we're told by the Bengals they

1887
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 1: are not trading the pick. They are staying at number one.

1888
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:40,719
Speaker 1: Day are expected to take quarterback Joe Burrow from LSU.

1889
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 1: The Bills took the expected step of extending Trenavious White

1890
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: to a contract. They picked up the fifth year option

1891
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,599
Speaker 1: on this rooking quarterback. They had to do it by

1892
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 1: May fourth. The Bills guarantee whites contract for injury only

1893
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: in the fifth year. We went to the Pro Bowl

1894
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 1: after last season, tied for the league in interceptions with six,

1895
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,479
Speaker 1: had a team high seventeen pass breakups. Today vious White

1896
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: his option yeer becomes fully guaranteed on the first day

1897
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,519
Speaker 1: of the league year in twenty twenty one, So when

1898
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots they're signing former Jackonville Jaguars wide receiver Marquise

1899
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 1: Lead to a one year contract. He's twenty eight years old.

1900
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,840
Speaker 1: He has battled injury throughout his career, never became the

1901
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: game changing player that the Jaguars expected. Released by Jacksonville Monday,

1902
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 1: signed by the Patriots today. NFL has mulling contingency plans

1903
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 1: for conducting the regular season in the fall. According to

1904
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 1: leaders of the NFLPA, they say they're considering a variety

1905
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 1: of options. They would be receptive to any scenario concede

1906
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 1: with the health and the safety of players in mind.

1907
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: According to people familiar with the NFL's planning, the league

1908
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:42,480
Speaker 1: considering a shortened season, games in empty or partially filled stadiums,

1909
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 1: or games being relocated or reschedule. And the Pittsburgh Steelers

1910
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 1: agreed to sign to get outside linebacker Brad bud Dupree

1911
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 1: signed to his franchise tender. They'll make a guarantee stellary

1912
01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: of almost sixteen million dollars. He and the Steelers can

1913
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 1: still negotiate a long term deal moving forward. And there

1914
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 1: you go. That is the update from One Bills Live

1915
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,360

1926
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:35,560
Speaker 1: We got seats on the line as well. Good to

1927
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 1: see it, Marcellos. Hey, how are you. What do you

1928
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: remember about what about? What do you remember about your

1929
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: draft day? Oh? Wow, oh so much man. Just waking

1930
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: up that morning and it was a different format. There

1931
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 1: were only thirty teams at the time. Woke up, had

1932
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: family friends at the house. CNN Sports Show straighted because

1933
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 1: coming from an IVY League school, and the fan fair

1934
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 1: because it's obviously a unique experience coming from there, and

1935
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:10,519
Speaker 1: just sitting around watching all of the picks, one after

1936
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:13,160
Speaker 1: another of guys that you saw at the East West

1937
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,599
Speaker 1: Shrine game or the combine, and I knew Orlando Pace

1938
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: was going to go first, and that was a pretty

1939
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 1: obvious pick. But then I guess the anxiety started to

1940
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:24,760
Speaker 1: pick up around mid first round when Chris Berman, former

1941
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 1: IVY leaguer himself doing his job but also rooting for

1942
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,840
Speaker 1: the IVY League, started to mention my name almost on

1943
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:34,599
Speaker 1: every pick. And when you're hearing your name but it's

1944
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 1: not from a general manager or a head coach, it's

1945
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: nerve wracking. But sooner than later, even though it took

1946
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: a few hours, I finally heard my name with the

1947
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:46,519
Speaker 1: fifty second pick Buffalo Bills. Brother, did you expect to

1948
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:49,480
Speaker 1: go in the second round? Was that on your expectation

1949
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 1: level going into that draft myself, No, it wasn't. I

1950
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 1: really thought I was going to be a fourth rounder,

1951
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 1: four fifth rounder. I thought I was gonna have to

1952
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 1: pay the IVY League tax. Justly planned against lawyers, CEOs

1953
01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:05,400
Speaker 1: and accountants. I just knew that there would be a

1954
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 1: penalty based on the opponents that I faced. Even though

1955
01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 1: I really really got gassed up the week before the

1956
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 1: New York Times, even though it's the New York Times

1957
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 1: for worldwide distribution, it literally was our local paper. And

1958
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 1: New York Talk did an article about me potentially being

1959
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 1: a first rounder as high as the seventeenth pick, and

1960
01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: they had a slotted and had my name there in bold.

1961
01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:32,600
Speaker 1: So everyone on campus, including me, saw that and started to,

1962
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, get gassed up a little bit. So I

1963
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: guess my highest projection was mid first round. Realistically for

1964
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 1: me it was the fourth round. So it was a

1965
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: blessing to go in a second I know that, you know,

1966
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:48,800
Speaker 1: IVY leaguers don't go off, and I was looking it

1967
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:52,080
Speaker 1: up the all time IVY League draft picks and the

1968
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: Calvin Hill in recent memory, maybe not for many, but

1969
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine he was a first round pick. But

1970
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 1: you were among the more recent, you know, early draft

1971
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:02,600
Speaker 1: picks coming out of the IVY League. They go in

1972
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 1: the draft, and they used to go a lot in

1973
01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 1: the thirties and forties, but not many go as early

1974
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:09,479
Speaker 1: as you went in the second round. Huh. Yeah, it

1975
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: really flipped. People don't know the history of football, like

1976
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 1: how it started actually in the IVY League, and as

1977
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:19,520
Speaker 1: you said, Colombia in the thirties was like a powerhouse.

1978
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 1: We won a Rolls Bowl, we beat Stanford, and I

1979
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 1: thinking around the fifties, they made an academic switch in

1980
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 1: terms of prioritizing that and taking away scholarships athletically, and

1981
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 1: obviously the result is you're not going to be as

1982
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:35,599
Speaker 1: good as the power box schools. But yeah, I think

1983
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four there was another first rounder from

1984
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 1: the IVY League, and then there was a drought of

1985
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 1: high picks coming from the IVY League for like thirteen years,

1986
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 1: and I saw a few guys of great talent. Adaz Workman,

1987
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,800
Speaker 1: who went to Columbia and didn't get drafted. I thought

1988
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 1: he could play at the next level and certainly succeed.

1989
01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: Jay Feeler, who actually was in the NFL, had a

1990
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,880
Speaker 1: good career, but there was a drought, and I got

1991
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:06,599
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for being a guy that brought

1992
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:08,800
Speaker 1: the attention back to the IVY League, and I was

1993
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 1: thankful for getting that credit. But I always had the

1994
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 1: mindset that no matter where you played football, if you

1995
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: played well enough, those those teams will come find you.

1996
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 1: In the NFL, and they spend millions of dollars in scouting,

1997
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: and I don't think that they leave any stones unturned.

1998
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 1: And so they came and found me, and they wasn't

1999
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:28,640
Speaker 1: that hard. I was in New York City, so that

2000
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 1: helped as well. One of the things that's getting lost

2001
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 1: in this draft this year, because of the remote nature

2002
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: of it and the sheltering place on the West Coast

2003
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 1: and the social distancing here on the East Coast, we've

2004
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:42,559
Speaker 1: kind of forget about the actual kids that are gonna

2005
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 1: get drafted. It's the same thing for them. They don't

2006
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 1: know any better. At what advice do you or have

2007
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:50,560
Speaker 1: you given young guys in the past about how to

2008
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:53,599
Speaker 1: handle a day like today. Yeah, I mean the first

2009
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:55,720
Speaker 1: thing is to let your hands go off of the

2010
01:39:55,840 --> 01:40:00,080
Speaker 1: roller coaster of emotions, like just ride the waves and

2011
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:04,640
Speaker 1: enjoy the process and really appreciate no matter where you

2012
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 1: get picked. If it's higher than you expected, lower than

2013
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: you expect it, it doesn't matter. Everyone hits the hard reset.

2014
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 1: But when you have to walk in there as a

2015
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: rookie in the training camp and in the facilities, I

2016
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: don't care if you're the man or you're someone that

2017
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: never heard of, you still have to go out there

2018
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 1: and make your Hey, you have to go out there

2019
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: and make a name for yourself. So this is just

2020
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:31,679
Speaker 1: a moment of joy, a moment of enjoyment that guys

2021
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 1: should really appreciate. You shouldn't have the anxiety and all

2022
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: the expectations. You should just rock into and say, hey,

2023
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 1: let me find where I'm ana play and who I'm

2024
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna play with, because I'm ready to play. So hopefully

2025
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: more guys come into it with a relaxed mindset, because

2026
01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: it can be a pressure cooker if you're really going

2027
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: in there with high expectations. Line on the line with

2028
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 1: former Bill's draft pick marcel Us Wiley from Columbia, I

2029
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 1: wonder if you can tell us the story. And I

2030
01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:01,760
Speaker 1: read this somewhere about Bruce Smith's shoes. You were, for

2031
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:03,640
Speaker 1: a short time a teammate of Bruce Smith, but when

2032
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 1: you got drafted by the Bills, you were kind of

2033
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: obsessed with getting a pair of his shoes. Huh Yeah,

2034
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean I was obsessed with this game. I ended

2035
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: up playing defensive end my last two years. So a

2036
01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know I grew up a running back.

2037
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:19,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to be Eric Dickerson my entire life, and

2038
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:23,439
Speaker 1: until high school I actually was probably on that pace.

2039
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 1: I was a really really good, like Pop Warner youth

2040
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 1: level running back. Then I get to high school. I

2041
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:33,439
Speaker 1: had bad knees, had oscar slaughters, so I was going

2042
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 1: through a gross spurt and I was just awkward. I

2043
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: couldn't run as fast, and I'm a former national track champion.

2044
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: Like in high school, I'm thinking I'm gonna be the man,

2045
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: and literally I hit this grossbert and I go from

2046
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: like five eight one fifty and then I blink, I'm

2047
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 1: six four two eight. My mom was six one and

2048
01:41:56,560 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 1: she was two forty plus like Mike Singletary style, and

2049
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: my dad is sixty three two hundred. So everyone laughed

2050
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 1: at me even in college, like when you're gonna hit

2051
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 1: your gros fers, Like when are you gonna finally it

2052
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 1: be as least as big as your mom is, Like

2053
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 1: your mom is bigger than year. You're a junior in college.

2054
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:16,679
Speaker 1: So finally I passed my mom up. And my coach

2055
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 1: comes to me and he's like, look, dude, you have

2056
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 1: to play d N because you're too big to go

2057
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 1: to the pros. That the running back it's not gonna work,

2058
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 1: Like it's just not. So my obsession with defensive event

2059
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 1: was short, but it was deep, and I knew Bruce

2060
01:42:31,080 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 1: Smith was the greatest defensive event, so I was in

2061
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: love with him. I wanted his shoes from the commercial

2062
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: with Dennis Hopper Days. So fast forward to I'm a

2063
01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill. My first thought is, Wow, I'm gonna play

2064
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 1: with Bruce Smith, not just a guy like the gods.

2065
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: And I'm so pumped. And I remember I couldn't get

2066
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:53,840
Speaker 1: his shoes because we were just poor. We didn't have

2067
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 1: enough money. And I walk into the locker room. You

2068
01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:01,960
Speaker 1: see his name played Smith seventy eight and it's two

2069
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: lockers from where my name plate was, which was actually

2070
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 1: in tape and written with a sharpie. Why no number?

2071
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 1: And I'm like, all right, and I'm like looking in

2072
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: this locker. I'm not too too shame to say this.

2073
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking into this locker to even like get some

2074
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 1: osmosis of greatness, just like me, looking at how he

2075
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 1: set up his locker room. If I do mind the same,

2076
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,560
Speaker 1: it would be great. But what jumped out was he

2077
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 1: had a roll of at least twenty pairs of shoes

2078
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:38,760
Speaker 1: that I had to go peek into, and I was like, yo,

2079
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: these might be the air Bruce Smiths, and of course

2080
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: they were and I'm like, what the commercial is right

2081
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 1: here next to my locker. So over time, because he

2082
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:54,439
Speaker 1: was my teammate, he was nice enough to me want

2083
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:57,080
Speaker 1: to kind of like serve the purpose of, you know,

2084
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 1: the rights of passage that I was a poor guy

2085
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:01,600
Speaker 1: who couldn't get it, and now not only can I

2086
01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 1: get it, I don't even have to pay for I'll

2087
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:08,400
Speaker 1: just take them from him. And I did it. Took

2088
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:11,799
Speaker 1: those paarachhoes. So he went from twenty pairs to nineteen.

2089
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:16,719
Speaker 1: Marcelis you've been around a long time. You got drafted

2090
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: back in the nineties, that you've been covering the league

2091
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:21,439
Speaker 1: for a long time, and the league evolved and is evolved,

2092
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 1: but one thing is not evolved. They still need guys

2093
01:44:24,400 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: to rush the passer and it still remains one of

2094
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:30,439
Speaker 1: the most important positions in football. How do you see

2095
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,719
Speaker 1: has it changed that all that have the techniques changed,

2096
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:37,519
Speaker 1: have the way these pass rushers have been used changed?

2097
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 1: What do you see from that position now, even though

2098
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:44,200
Speaker 1: you know it's twenty twenty one, twenty two years later. Yeah,

2099
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 1: the evolution of the position is a great question. You

2100
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: could see like I was the last of the old

2101
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: guard that was like a prototypical d N. And I

2102
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,680
Speaker 1: was six four, two eighty, and I actually wanted to

2103
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:00,160
Speaker 1: be two eighty because that seemed like a number or

2104
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: a threshold that would be something that the scouts would respect. Oh,

2105
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 1: he's big enough to play against the run, but he's

2106
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 1: also quick enough to go and get to the quarterback.

2107
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 1: So I'm the last kind of generation of that guy.

2108
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 1: But in my draft class was a future Hall of

2109
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: Famer that I knew was gonna be special, but for

2110
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 1: some reason the evaluators didn't. And his name is Jason Taylor,

2111
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 1: and he was six six, two forty. And I remember

2112
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:31,280
Speaker 1: going to the combines like, Yo, they're gonna draft me

2113
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 1: before this guy. They're crazy. This dude is next level

2114
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 1: in terms of quickness and leverage and left. What happened

2115
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 1: was they translated the position and transferred it to guys

2116
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:46,080
Speaker 1: like him. What we used to call a tweener is

2117
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 1: now just like a beefier tight end who could play

2118
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: d N and just play the run on the way

2119
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. So what I see now is just

2120
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:59,800
Speaker 1: more athleticism at the position, a greater emphasis of getting

2121
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:03,679
Speaker 1: to the quarterback then just stopping the run, and guys

2122
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:07,800
Speaker 1: are not just so situational in terms of, oh, he

2123
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:09,680
Speaker 1: has to play the first two downs and then you

2124
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 1: got to get him out of there. Even the light guys,

2125
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: the guys who don't weigh as much, they can play

2126
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 1: the run as well. So I just see that there's

2127
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:21,880
Speaker 1: an injection of athleticism in that position and in the

2128
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: game overall. Just the volume of talent. I think it's

2129
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 1: just greater than it was yesterday. Line out of the

2130
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:31,000
Speaker 1: line with Marcellus Wiley, former Bill second round marcellis she

2131
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:33,640
Speaker 1: played ten years in the NFL. For guys who are

2132
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: drafted over the next three days, what would you tell them?

2133
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: What's the secret to a long, productive career in the NFL?

2134
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 1: What should they know about? I think the first thing

2135
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:46,000
Speaker 1: is just to really assess who you are, and that's

2136
01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 1: in terms of tangibles and intangibles. I think one of

2137
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: the things that get lost in the process of making

2138
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 1: the team, making the starting unit, being a starter and

2139
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 1: a producer, Pro Bowl, Hall of Famer, whatever that is,

2140
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:08,120
Speaker 1: is that you have to always be selfish and focused

2141
01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: on how you're getting better. So a lot of the

2142
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 1: game is about team elements, and we come in and

2143
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 1: we have to learn your playbook and work out with

2144
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,679
Speaker 1: your sprint coach and do your plays which is great,

2145
01:47:20,040 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: but don't lose sight of your ability and how you

2146
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 1: can always enhance that talent level. And it's not just physically.

2147
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,760
Speaker 1: So if you're a guy who bitch press thirty five

2148
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:34,080
Speaker 1: reps coming out of college, don't lose sight of that

2149
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,560
Speaker 1: when you're in your fiftheenth year because you're trying to

2150
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:40,360
Speaker 1: protect yourself so much because you're a multimillion dollar investment

2151
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:43,600
Speaker 1: that you're not still going after it the same and

2152
01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:47,960
Speaker 1: trying to improve those numbers, that talent base, how how

2153
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:51,040
Speaker 1: you jumped, how fast you ran, how quick you were,

2154
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: how open your hips were. I think that sometimes when

2155
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 1: you get into a team concept, people forget how important

2156
01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 1: it is to just be a better athlete and better

2157
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 1: student than you were yesterday. So the main thing is

2158
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 1: just to keep that real, so focused on not only

2159
01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:14,320
Speaker 1: approving the team around you, but improving yourself. One of

2160
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:16,760
Speaker 1: the things that happened when you came into the league

2161
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 1: was a free agency was kind of already up and running,

2162
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 1: and you've seen it, and now it's become more more

2163
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 1: prevalent that players kind of picked their spots used to be,

2164
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:31,519
Speaker 1: you know, guys didn't have the experience of being a

2165
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 1: free agent or seeing it done before them. Now you've

2166
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 1: got players recruiting one another. You've got guys talking over

2167
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:41,880
Speaker 1: across the sidelines to one another. You even related a

2168
01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:45,639
Speaker 1: story when you know Drew Brees was struggling his career,

2169
01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: you were you were, you know, pushing for Doug Flute

2170
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 1: to be a part of the team. We've seen it

2171
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 1: this year with Leonard Fournette trying to trying to recruit

2172
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. How do you see that affecting the league

2173
01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: going forward? Yeah, I mean, look at our Buffalo bill

2174
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 1: and Stefan Dick says out a tweet that gets all

2175
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 1: the general managers perked up into the tune that he's

2176
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 1: out of Minnesota and he's now in Buffalo. Yeah. I

2177
01:49:10,320 --> 01:49:13,360
Speaker 1: think with social media and the attention on the athlete

2178
01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:16,720
Speaker 1: every single second of the day, it does give a

2179
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 1: little more control and power to the athlete in terms

2180
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:24,040
Speaker 1: of manipulating a system, not always to their advantage, but

2181
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 1: certainly of influence. These athletes are going to have more

2182
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:31,040
Speaker 1: than we did. I was blessed to leave Buffalo and

2183
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:34,719
Speaker 1: leave in the caravan with like seven other Buffalo Bills,

2184
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:38,320
Speaker 1: including the general manager, late Great John Butler. So it

2185
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 1: was a familiar experience my first free agency opportunity. But

2186
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 1: for a lot of these guys today, we have to

2187
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 1: remember that with combined camps and how these guys have

2188
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 1: these specialty elite camps and the training facilities, like it

2189
01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:58,280
Speaker 1: really turns into all comers and you'll be a Green

2190
01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 1: Bay packer working out with in New England, tread on

2191
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: the phone with a guy that you're trying to recruit

2192
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville to come work out with you, and you

2193
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: spend six months with a guy and you start to

2194
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 1: learn their strength and weaknesses, and that turned into a

2195
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:12,599
Speaker 1: bond that some guys want to take all the way

2196
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:15,320
Speaker 1: onto the playing field. So I just think that with

2197
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:19,160
Speaker 1: all of the emphasis on not just the player, but

2198
01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 1: the person, and these guys going out there and just

2199
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: frost pollinating everywhere, it's gonna just continue to be this way.

2200
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: A couple of minutes left with Marcellos, Wiley Farmer builds

2201
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:33,599
Speaker 1: a defensive end. He marcellis, I think it was last fall,

2202
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 1: and I think it was on FS one on your

2203
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 1: Speak for Yourself show. You almost had a premonition that

2204
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:40,800
Speaker 1: it was not going to end well for Brady and

2205
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 1: Belichick in New England. Of course, now Brady's gone on

2206
01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay. What did you see last year that

2207
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 1: made you think that that might be the end for

2208
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:51,479
Speaker 1: Brady in New England. Yeah. On top of everything and

2209
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 1: the evidence that everyone has certainly seen read we've all

2210
01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:58,840
Speaker 1: kind of been there in terms of our guests work

2211
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,599
Speaker 1: of what trying to read body language and read it all,

2212
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 1: but two things really stuck out to me in terms

2213
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:07,280
Speaker 1: of their personality in their history that I thought that

2214
01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:11,720
Speaker 1: this would be the reality. One is, Bill Belichick used

2215
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 1: to be in a position where he was overshadowed by

2216
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels as his defensive coordinator, and I remember how

2217
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:21,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL circles everyone was saying that Parcels could

2218
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:25,800
Speaker 1: never wear without Belichick in terms of a championship, and

2219
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:29,559
Speaker 1: Belichick needed to get his fair Two. So I knew

2220
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:33,559
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick had had that competitive spirit to prove

2221
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:37,679
Speaker 1: that he can do something without another great overshallowed shadowing

2222
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 1: that or even in this case, being coupled in the

2223
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 1: conversation every time Brady and Belichick, So that Belichick had

2224
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:48,400
Speaker 1: that kind of inspiration in them. And then I knew

2225
01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady, unheralded, a sixth rounder who immediately hits

2226
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:55,800
Speaker 1: the ground running once Drew Blesso gets hurt and wins

2227
01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 1: super Bowls and three out of his first four years

2228
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:02,759
Speaker 1: and six in total. Was a guy who said, Wow,

2229
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:06,720
Speaker 1: I never had the complete freedom of just seeing if

2230
01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 1: I could do this myself. So thankful for Bill Belichick

2231
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:12,879
Speaker 1: and this culture and this team and all of the success.

2232
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 1: But it's my legacy gonna always be tied to Bill Belichick,

2233
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:20,760
Speaker 1: or am I a guy that could show that this

2234
01:52:20,920 --> 01:52:23,640
Speaker 1: sixth rounder is not the same guy you drafted and

2235
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: my legacy could stand on itself. And I just thought

2236
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,120
Speaker 1: that those two things would come to a head, that

2237
01:52:29,320 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 1: they both will be properly incentivized and motivated to prove

2238
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:35,920
Speaker 1: that they could do it without the other. And we

2239
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 1: got to that place one way or another. It was

2240
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 1: bound to happen. And I think the first thing that

2241
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:43,880
Speaker 1: really jumped out is when Bill Belichick to Tod Brady

2242
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 1: he couldn't have his personal parking space anymore like eight

2243
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,920
Speaker 1: years ago. I was like, whenever that comes up, and

2244
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:56,799
Speaker 1: that's an issue which you're not only star quarterback quarterback.

2245
01:52:57,280 --> 01:52:59,600
Speaker 1: I was like, that's the first domino and then a

2246
01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 1: quartbra row and he lost his access and get Tom

2247
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:06,559
Speaker 1: Brady takes the pay cut for West Welker. West Welker

2248
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:09,519
Speaker 1: dips leaves town. Brady wants his money back. They won't

2249
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:11,200
Speaker 1: give it back. I was like, Oh, it's over. This

2250
01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:12,960
Speaker 1: is a matter of time, this is going in and

2251
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:16,160
Speaker 1: it did. Let me take you back in time a

2252
01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: couple of months now and ourselves before we were all

2253
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: sheltered in place. You're out in LA and the big

2254
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:24,040
Speaker 1: stories a couple of months ago where LA Chargers are

2255
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 1: moving into the new stadium, the Rams are moving into

2256
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 1: the new stadium Las Vegas, the Raiders are moving into

2257
01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:31,639
Speaker 1: a new stadium, and now those those stories are kind

2258
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: of on the back burner. Well, how do you think

2259
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:37,160
Speaker 1: the transition into the new digs the new stadium is

2260
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna go for the Chargers and the Rams and how

2261
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 1: that transition is in La. Yeah, LA is gonna be

2262
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:48,000
Speaker 1: interest in space in terms of how we're dealing with it.

2263
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:52,000
Speaker 1: Our our mayor, Mayor Garceti, who's actually a Columbia Lion.

2264
01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:53,840
Speaker 1: We went to school at the same time. How random

2265
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:59,120
Speaker 1: is that? Good? Friend to have obviously, but we're more

2266
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:03,200
Speaker 1: in a conservative size in terms of our social distancing

2267
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:06,560
Speaker 1: and us opening up back into the economy. So I

2268
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:10,439
Speaker 1: think we'll be towards the end, towards the back of

2269
01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:13,560
Speaker 1: the line in terms of opening up, which means football

2270
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: in LA certainly will be impacted. If that's the reality

2271
01:54:19,040 --> 01:54:22,559
Speaker 1: that's said. You know, not breaking news, but I've been

2272
01:54:22,680 --> 01:54:27,839
Speaker 1: hearing from some people and some sources that this opening

2273
01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 1: up social distancing and finally getting back to real football,

2274
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:35,879
Speaker 1: it's going to try and align itself with those cities

2275
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:39,040
Speaker 1: and states that are a little more open minded, are

2276
01:54:39,200 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: a little more incentivized to do this earlier than not.

2277
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 1: So we're hearing about Las Vegas right now. We just

2278
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:47,280
Speaker 1: heard about the mayor from Las Vegas and she wants

2279
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:49,840
Speaker 1: to open up the casinos and and open up the

2280
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 1: hotels again. Well, if that comes to reality, then Las

2281
01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:57,760
Speaker 1: Vegas will become a destination for another NFL team if

2282
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:00,640
Speaker 1: a city like LA is still close in this door.

2283
01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:04,000
Speaker 1: So I just want everyone out there to football fans,

2284
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 1: just keep your eyes on the cities that have stadiums,

2285
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:11,520
Speaker 1: whether it's pro or college, and they're saying it's time

2286
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 1: to open our doors, because a Vegas stadium that's only

2287
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:20,080
Speaker 1: holding eight home games could easily hold sixteen home games

2288
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:22,760
Speaker 1: if another team enters. So I think that's going to

2289
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:25,080
Speaker 1: be to play if everyone doesn't open up and see

2290
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 1: how it works out. Hey, Marcel, great catching up you.

2300
01:55:55,800 --> 01:55:57,720
Speaker 1: a really good player as well. I remember he was

2301
01:55:57,760 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 1: one of the young players that came in and I

2302
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 1: remember looking at him and said, man, he he is

2303
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 1: put together. He was he really he was right. He's

2304
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:08,640
Speaker 1: an old school big defensive lineman and he looked it.

2305
01:56:08,880 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 1: He looked the part. He was one of the guys.

2306
01:56:10,320 --> 01:56:13,360
Speaker 1: Let him get off the bus first, and then then

2307
01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:15,480
Speaker 1: let then I'll get off later, you know with the

2308
01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:19,440

2309
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 1: no question. And um he's a really good pros as

2310
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:25,240
Speaker 1: his career tests. Ten years in the NFL. All right,

2311
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:26,560
Speaker 1: we got a break here, We got more to come.

2312
01:56:26,640 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 1: One Go five presented by Collada Health from Radio Only Today.

2313
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's radio Welcome Back. One goes Live,

2314
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:45,960
Speaker 1: presented by COLLATDA Health. John Murphy. See Dasker gotten about

2315
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:47,320
Speaker 1: a half hour to go, the phone line open. He

2316
01:56:47,400 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 1: see one thing about Marcello's wiley. The story about Bruce

2317
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:53,000
Speaker 1: Smith's shoes. Great story, did you catch in the middle

2318
01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 1: though I didn't have I didn't want to stop him,

2319
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:57,040
Speaker 1: but he said Bruce Smith, who who was pretty good

2320
01:56:57,040 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 1: to me. I bet Bruce didn't give him the time

2321
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:04,120
Speaker 1: of day when he was a well you can imagine

2322
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 1: Bruce thought about them, drafted somebody in his position in

2323
01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:11,200
Speaker 1: the second round. So you know, he actually stole a

2324
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:14,280
Speaker 1: pair of shoes from Bruce Smith. That's kind of interesting.

2325
01:57:15,480 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 1: And I forgot about that. But Bruce had his own

2326
01:57:17,280 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 1: like Eric Jordan's back then ninety seven. I guess Bruce

2327
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 1: says his own line of Nike shoes. He was big,

2328
01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:27,560
Speaker 1: big time. Bruce was Yeah, Bruce was the dude. Man

2329
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 1: he was. He was a superstar. I mean, he's a

2330
01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:33,320
Speaker 1: fantastic player, and he was a guy. You know, people

2331
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 1: nationally recognized him and they still do, I guess, but

2332
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:43,920
Speaker 1: you know he's yeah, he was legit. He was a

2333
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 1: legit superstar in the NFL. I mean we I keep

2334
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:49,320
Speaker 1: telling people this MERVN not for nothing, but back in

2335
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:53,680
Speaker 1: that day, people people of our age will remember and

2336
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 1: I say this, I said this about I might have

2337
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 1: said it on the on the Four Falls of Buffalo

2338
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 1: and the interviews I did with that and and some

2339
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 1: other places. One of the things I'd like to say

2340
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:04,800
Speaker 1: about that time was for me and a bunch of

2341
01:58:04,880 --> 01:58:08,840
Speaker 1: the guys on the team, it was like traveling with

2342
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 1: the Beatles, and you know, just like George, Paul, John

2343
01:58:13,120 --> 01:58:16,760
Speaker 1: and Ringo, it was Bruce, Thurman, Andre and Jim and

2344
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:20,120
Speaker 1: people knew those guys by their first names. Yeah, And

2345
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 1: we would pull into a hotel and we'd all pile

2346
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 1: off the bus and the hotel lobby would have three

2347
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:31,960
Speaker 1: hundred people in it in Bill's gear. You know, it was.

2348
01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:36,120
Speaker 1: It was something. And Jim was as as big a

2349
01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 1: name in the league as there was. Bruce was as

2350
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:42,320
Speaker 1: big a name. H Thurman was an MVP, best running

2351
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 1: back around. We had Cornelius Bennett on the squad, and

2352
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,640
Speaker 1: then we had guys that were specific to our team

2353
01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 1: that were, you know, like Darryl And and Ken Hall,

2354
01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:57,080
Speaker 1: people who Buffalo Bills fans just revered. So it was

2355
01:58:57,160 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 1: a hoot to be on that thing. But she get

2356
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:03,800
Speaker 1: onto Bill to Bruce and Jim and Andre and thurm Man.

2357
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, those guys walk in any place in the

2358
01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:10,240
Speaker 1: country and heads turn, you know, it was. It was

01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, for my cause, my cleats. You know, back then,

2364
01:59:30,440 --> 01:59:33,160
Speaker 1: Bruce had Nike doing it for him. That was unbelievable.

2365
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:35,840

2373
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 1: get a really nice tweet from Burt, Bills fan. He says,

2374
01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:59,320
Speaker 1: first and foremost wanted to thank you for the daily podcast.

2375
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:01,800
Speaker 1: I see her Bills talk with everything going on. When

2376
02:00:01,800 --> 02:00:04,720
Speaker 1: you're welcome, Burt says, I chose defense to answer our

2377
02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:07,280
Speaker 1: question today, the Bills going offense or defense? Says I

2378
02:00:07,440 --> 02:00:09,600
Speaker 1: chose defense, even though they've been ranked high the last

2379
02:00:09,640 --> 02:00:12,120
Speaker 1: few seasons. I think we need some youth to keep

2380
02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:14,480
Speaker 1: them ranked high. All right, I get it, And that

2381
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:17,040
Speaker 1: is our Twitter question today. It's kind of a general

2382
02:00:17,120 --> 02:00:19,600
Speaker 1: draft question. Which side of the ball to the Bills

2383
02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:22,240
Speaker 1: need to address more in this year's NFL draft. We've

2384
02:00:22,280 --> 02:00:24,800
Speaker 1: got five hundred twenty votes in so far. Sixty four

2385
02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:28,000
Speaker 1: percent close to two thirds think it's offense and thirty

2386
02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:30,000
Speaker 1: six percent say defense. I don't know what I would

2387
02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:31,960
Speaker 1: vote for if I had to choose, and held he's

2388
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:34,520
Speaker 1: onto my head, I said, I don't care. Yeah, I

2389
02:00:34,640 --> 02:00:38,080
Speaker 1: think that's I think I'm with you, I'm at the

2390
02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:43,400
Speaker 1: point now where I completely trust those guys. I know

2391
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like the guy they get. I really do.

2392
02:00:45,960 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a corner or a wide receiver,

2393
02:00:48,440 --> 02:00:51,120
Speaker 1: edge rusher or offensive lineman or you know, or anything.

2394
02:00:51,120 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. Some positions would probably surprise me, Like

2395
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:58,040
Speaker 1: if they pick a safety in this draft, because this

2396
02:00:58,160 --> 02:00:59,760
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a draft where there's not very

2397
02:00:59,800 --> 02:01:02,320
Speaker 1: many good safety is only a couple. But if they

2398
02:01:02,360 --> 02:01:05,240
Speaker 1: get maybe the best safety in this draft, I'll be like, oh, okay, good.

2399
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:09,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'd be surprised. I'd be surprised about the safety.

2400
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:12,600
Speaker 1: I would say it's a bad pick, but I'd be surprised.

2401
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you. The phone line is open eight

2402
02:01:14,560 --> 02:01:17,400
Speaker 1: O three oh five fifty toll free from outside Buffalo

2403
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:19,920
Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. A couple

2404
02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:22,360
Speaker 1: of minutes left. We do have time for some phone

2405
02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:24,520
Speaker 1: calls to take. Let's get back to the tweet sheet,

2406
02:01:24,560 --> 02:01:27,400
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers

2407
02:01:27,440 --> 02:01:29,720
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. The question which side of the

2408
02:01:29,760 --> 02:01:32,000
Speaker 1: bills of the Bills need to address? Which side of

2409
02:01:32,040 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 1: the ball do the Bills need to address this most

2410
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:36,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL drafts. Do you take us through the

2411
02:01:36,200 --> 02:01:38,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet? Why don't you? All right, we gotta hear

2412
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:41,640
Speaker 1: from you read the one from Q correct, So let's

2413
02:01:41,680 --> 02:01:44,360
Speaker 1: go to Dina. We're doing pretty well on both sides

2414
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:46,000
Speaker 1: of the ball, but I'd like to see some more

2415
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:49,360
Speaker 1: depth on the offensive line, if possible, from this year's draft.

2416
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with Dinah on that you and I've

2417
02:01:51,600 --> 02:01:53,920
Speaker 1: been talking about. And I tell you this too, my

2418
02:01:54,080 --> 02:01:57,920
Speaker 1: philosophy if I'm head coach anywhere at GM, everything the

2419
02:01:58,080 --> 02:02:01,600
Speaker 1: team ice build starts with the line. You're never done

2420
02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:03,760
Speaker 1: with it because there's so many guys that play it

2421
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 1: on the field all the time. You have five of

2422
02:02:06,960 --> 02:02:08,880
Speaker 1: them on the field all the time. Can you imagine

2423
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:10,840
Speaker 1: if you had five wide outs on the field all

2424
02:02:10,880 --> 02:02:12,680
Speaker 1: the time, how many wide outs you'd have to draft

2425
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:14,840
Speaker 1: and find. It's the same thing with the offensive line.

2426
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you're ever done building it. So I'm

2427
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 1: with Dinah on that one. Yeah, I get that, And look,

2428
02:02:21,400 --> 02:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I think and we'll address this tomorrow. Steve and I

2429
02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:25,880
Speaker 1: are going to have our actual named players on the

2430
02:02:25,920 --> 02:02:28,000
Speaker 1: show tomorrow afternoon. Who we think the Bills are gonna

2431
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:30,680
Speaker 1: get with their first pick in the second round. But

2432
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I'm leaning towards offensive lineman or wide receiver.

2433
02:02:34,240 --> 02:02:36,440
Speaker 1: I would I'd be good with an offensive linement, especially

2434
02:02:36,480 --> 02:02:38,320
Speaker 1: if he's a starting caliber and you can get one

2435
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:40,760
Speaker 1: in you know, let's Cody Ford proved last year or

2436
02:02:40,760 --> 02:02:42,720
Speaker 1: thirty eighth pick. You can get one and say the

2437
02:02:42,760 --> 02:02:44,680
Speaker 1: first half of the second round at least, I think

2438
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the Bills might move there. But Steve, with all the

2439
02:02:47,240 --> 02:02:50,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers available in this year's draft, there's gotta be

2440
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:54,000
Speaker 1: one or maybe two that the Bills really really really

2441
02:02:54,160 --> 02:02:56,520
Speaker 1: like a lot. And if one of those wide receivers

2442
02:02:57,240 --> 02:02:59,840
Speaker 1: doesn't get picked tonight in the first round, I think

2443
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:01,640
Speaker 1: it would be hard pressed to not make a big

2444
02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:03,440
Speaker 1: move up. That's why I'm thinking about them. But I

2445
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:05,800
Speaker 1: don't know. It wouldn't be one of the top guys

2446
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:10,520
Speaker 1: like Ceedee Lamb or Jerry Judy or those guys. It might,

2447
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, be lesser guy than I and I I

2448
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:17,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I just make offensive lines a better grab,

2449
02:03:17,600 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, But I don't know. We've got one. Another

2450
02:03:22,080 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet from Brian, he says the Bills

2451
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:25,960
Speaker 1: still might want to add weapons on offense, but we

2452
02:03:26,080 --> 02:03:28,960
Speaker 1: need a young edge rusher along with more competition in

2453
02:03:29,040 --> 02:03:31,640
Speaker 1: the secondary. So there's a guy that votes for the

2454
02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:33,720
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. I think this is we're

2455
02:03:33,880 --> 02:03:36,840
Speaker 1: kind of in the perfect spot, Murph. I really do

2456
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:39,200
Speaker 1: think the Bills have done enough to build their roster

2457
02:03:39,400 --> 02:03:42,640
Speaker 1: through free agency and with the guys they've brought back

2458
02:03:42,720 --> 02:03:46,360
Speaker 1: and signed that man, they can pick any team any

2459
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:50,600
Speaker 1: position they want, and that's that's why there's so many

2460
02:03:50,840 --> 02:03:53,840
Speaker 1: differing opinions. Certainly like running backs on the table later

2461
02:03:53,920 --> 02:03:56,320
Speaker 1: in the rounds, But like you and I have said,

2462
02:03:56,400 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 1: you can get a quality athlete late in the draft

2463
02:03:59,360 --> 02:04:03,400
Speaker 1: every year. Let's take a phone call here, Jeff and Massachusetts. Hello, Jeff,

2464
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:08,800
Speaker 1: you're on the air, Jeff, Massachusetts, Old Jeff. I am

2465
02:04:08,880 --> 02:04:11,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to this draft because I haven't had any

2466
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:14,160
Speaker 1: sports since wrestling me I need to watch. But anyway

2467
02:04:15,080 --> 02:04:19,040
Speaker 1: about we go against the grain a little bit. Teams

2468
02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:21,960
Speaker 1: don't take running backs anymore in the first round. Maybe

2469
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,760
Speaker 1: a good one drops to the second round. Could use

2470
02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:28,960
Speaker 1: a nice power back to compliment singletary. That's my thoughts

2471
02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:30,920
Speaker 1: on it. I mean, if there's one there. I hate

2472
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:33,040
Speaker 1: those polls because you don't know who's going to sly

2473
02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:36,040
Speaker 1: down because we're not picking for the second round, whether

2474
02:04:36,160 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: offense or defense, so you kind of have to go

2475
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:40,440
Speaker 1: with what's there. But running back might be a good position.

2476
02:04:41,440 --> 02:04:44,680
Speaker 1: It might, It might, Jeff and Ben I mean, Jeff,

2477
02:04:44,760 --> 02:04:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, And people have mentioned the name Jonathan Taylor

2478
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:51,120
Speaker 1: right from Wisconsin Steve as a potential selection for the Bills.

2479
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:54,760
Speaker 1: He could drop out in the first round, right he could.

2480
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:58,360
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of guys that have been linked

2481
02:04:58,360 --> 02:05:00,920
Speaker 1: to the Bills through a bunch of mock dress. I

2482
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:03,640
Speaker 1: know I had one that had a big running back

2483
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:07,160
Speaker 1: from Boston College, taking the big kid Dylan who's a

2484
02:05:07,200 --> 02:05:10,879
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pound running back, as a compliment

2485
02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:17,000
Speaker 1: to Devin Singletary. It's everybody is rolling the dice trying

2486
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:19,000
Speaker 1: to predict what the Bills are gonna take. And if

2487
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:21,040
Speaker 1: you get down as low as fifty four in this

2488
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:24,000
Speaker 1: draft where they're picking first man, it is in absolute

2489
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:27,360
Speaker 1: and I think it's great, it's fun, but it's absolutely

2490
02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 1: impossible to anticipate right now. If the Bills were picking

2491
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:33,320
Speaker 1: in the top five, I think we'd have a better

2492
02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:36,760
Speaker 1: hand on who they were gonna grab, right now as

2493
02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:39,800
Speaker 1: it stands, I have no clue, no clue. It could

2494
02:05:39,840 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 1: be running back, it could be corner, it could be

2495
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:46,400
Speaker 1: edge rusher, it could be offensive line. Who else, I mean,

2496
02:05:47,040 --> 02:05:50,960
Speaker 1: name another spot where it's gonna be running back, wide receiver. Yeah,

2497
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Let's take a call

2498
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 1: from Ben and Amhurst. Someone. Ben, you're on the air. Hey, guys,

2499
02:05:57,160 --> 02:06:02,000
Speaker 1: how you doing today? Good? Again? This is backed up.

2500
02:06:02,040 --> 02:06:04,920
Speaker 1: I absolutely no hard data, and I'm I'm just seeing

2501
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:09,120
Speaker 1: probably cornerback or edge rusher. Like like most guys that

2502
02:06:09,240 --> 02:06:11,880
Speaker 1: just um kind of maybe seems like a safer bet

2503
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:14,440
Speaker 1: than than um bringing a receiver in or somebody else

2504
02:06:14,480 --> 02:06:16,600
Speaker 1: in the second round where I might take a little

2505
02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:19,400
Speaker 1: more time to spin them up. But again, just shooting

2506
02:06:19,440 --> 02:06:22,400
Speaker 1: from the hill. Yeah, what do you mean you can't see?

2507
02:06:22,440 --> 02:06:24,840
Speaker 1: What do you think? You're the president making statements backed up,

2508
02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:27,520
Speaker 1: backed up? I know data, Ben? What are you talking about?

2509
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:32,520
Speaker 1: You're right in our wheelhouse, Ben, But here's my thing,

2510
02:06:32,560 --> 02:06:34,040
Speaker 1: and I told you this earlier in the show. You're

2511
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna wait till tomorrow to do it. I'm just and

2512
02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't know which guy I'm gonna gonna thumb down

2513
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:40,320
Speaker 1: that as being the guy I think that the Bills

2514
02:06:40,360 --> 02:06:42,000
Speaker 1: might take. But I think it is going to be

2515
02:06:42,040 --> 02:06:44,920
Speaker 1: a corner, And I think I'm looking down a list

2516
02:06:44,960 --> 02:06:47,120
Speaker 1: of the top corners and I think it'll be a

2517
02:06:47,200 --> 02:06:49,840
Speaker 1: corner along the lines of a six foot plus guy

2518
02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:52,840
Speaker 1: who is, you know, kind of got a big body

2519
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:57,480
Speaker 1: and athleticism. Maybe a guy that's overlooked. Maybe a guy

2520
02:06:57,520 --> 02:06:59,520
Speaker 1: that from a smaller school who's got a lot of

2521
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:03,520
Speaker 1: upside that they've watched and made some phone calls to.

2522
02:07:04,280 --> 02:07:06,440
Speaker 1: That's who I think the Bills will get. That's my

2523
02:07:06,560 --> 02:07:10,800
Speaker 1: gut feeling, And just like Ben, I have no hard

2524
02:07:10,920 --> 02:07:14,640
Speaker 1: data at all to back that up. There's a couple

2525
02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:17,360
Speaker 1: of you like that. There's this news about the night's

2526
02:07:17,440 --> 02:07:20,320
Speaker 1: first round of the draft and this weekend's telecast said

2527
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:23,200
Speaker 1: the Draft es Men analyst Todd McShay will not appear

2528
02:07:23,560 --> 02:07:26,640
Speaker 1: on the NFL Draft this weekend. He revealed today McShay

2529

Speaker 1: the show. He says, I'm home or covering from coronavirus.

2531
02:07:34,280 --> 02:07:35,760
Speaker 1: I just want to say I met you all my

2532
02:07:35,800 --> 02:07:38,720
Speaker 1: teammates at ESPN, etc. I want to assure you I'll

02:07:38,720 --> 02:07:42,120
Speaker 1: be back thanks to the tireless work of the first responders,

2534
02:07:42,200 --> 02:07:44,800
Speaker 1: who truly are our nation's heroes. That's too bad. McShay

2535
02:07:44,880 --> 02:07:46,520
Speaker 1: has a lot of good insights to even he will

2536
02:07:46,520 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 1: be missed in coverage of the draft for sure. Yeah,

2537
02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:51,280
Speaker 1: it's one of the this is this where? And I

2538
02:07:51,320 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 1: don't want to be flipping about the guys having COVID virus,

2539
02:07:54,240 --> 02:07:56,560
Speaker 1: but is this? He works one day a year and

2540
02:07:56,600 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 1: he takes a sick day. That's kind of badas too easy,

2541
02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:03,000
Speaker 1: it's too easy. I gotta I gotta listen. I've got

2542
02:08:03,040 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for Todd. He's a great he

2543
02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:08,600
Speaker 1: does he does have a lot of a lot of insights.

2544
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I hope he he hope he does. Well, I'll make

2545
02:08:10,880 --> 02:08:14,680
Speaker 1: a joke, but yeah, now you're from the joke. Well,

2546
02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, I had to make it too easy, all right,

2547
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 1: But I wish him but the best. I'm sure you do.

2548
02:08:20,920 --> 02:08:22,680
Speaker 1: We're taking a break and then we're coming back. One

2549
02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Bill's Line for Zenda by Alana Health Radio, only once

2550
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:28,120
Speaker 1: again today from our homes once again today. This is

2551
02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill Radio. Hey, so what do we learned? Brought

2552
02:08:42,200 --> 02:08:45,160
Speaker 1: to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company

2553
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. We had Maddie Glab on the

2554
02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:49,520
Speaker 1: show with us today. Maddie, we asked her if the

2555
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Bills will trade up to pick earlier then tomorrow night's

2556
02:08:52,440 --> 02:08:55,360
Speaker 1: fifty fourth overall pick. Here's what she said. Chris Brown

2557
02:08:55,440 --> 02:08:58,160
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this yesterday. I could see

2558
02:08:58,200 --> 02:09:01,920
Speaker 1: them moving up if they're is that perfect playmaker that

2559
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,440
Speaker 1: they really want, But then we were talking about it

2560
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:07,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more, and it also makes sense to

2561
02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:09,880
Speaker 1: want to hold on to that second and third round pick,

2562
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:14,240
Speaker 1: so I could also I think it's more likely that

2563
02:09:14,360 --> 02:09:17,600
Speaker 1: they trade up a few spots rather than trying to

2564
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:22,000
Speaker 1: trade up twenty spots. Maddie Glenn. By the way, Maddie

2565
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:24,400
Speaker 1: and Chris got a Bill's Draft special coming up tonight

2566
02:09:24,720 --> 02:09:28,160
Speaker 1: at seven thirty, streaming video on bills dot com, bufflelebills

2567
02:09:28,160 --> 02:09:30,800
Speaker 1: dot com, and all kinds of social media about the Bills.

2568
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:33,680
Speaker 1: Also on the show today our show, Mark Ross, former

2569
02:09:34,040 --> 02:09:36,520
Speaker 1: national scout for the Bills, former vice president of player

2570
02:09:36,560 --> 02:09:39,080
Speaker 1: evaluation for the New York Giants. He was asked why

2571
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:41,960
Speaker 1: do some teams seem to just draft better than others?

2572
02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:44,440
Speaker 1: Here's what he said, Where if there's been a lot

2573
02:09:44,480 --> 02:09:46,880
Speaker 1: of stability to the same kind of people in the

2574
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:50,320
Speaker 1: positions of control, same coaches, and everyone is on the

2575
02:09:50,440 --> 02:09:53,040
Speaker 1: same page about the type of player they're looking for.

2576
02:09:53,640 --> 02:09:56,400
Speaker 1: And also the coaches are on the same page as saying,

2577
02:09:56,440 --> 02:09:58,680
Speaker 1: okay with the scouts, if we're going to develop this guy.

2578
02:09:58,760 --> 02:10:01,800
Speaker 1: The coaches actually put in the time and effort to develop,

2579
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:05,240
Speaker 1: as opposed to some teams or hey, they're coaching staff

2580
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:07,080
Speaker 1: is new, they're just trying to get the guys they want,

2581
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 1: or a coaching staff is on the brink of possibly

2582
02:10:10,240 --> 02:10:12,280
Speaker 1: getting fired, like hey, we're just going to sign this

2583
02:10:12,360 --> 02:10:14,440
Speaker 1: guy just to get us through this year, and there's

2584
02:10:14,440 --> 02:10:17,080
Speaker 1: always turnover in chaos, so there's not the stability. So

2585
02:10:17,120 --> 02:10:18,800
Speaker 1: I think that the good teams that do it right

2586
02:10:19,320 --> 02:10:22,520
Speaker 1: have that stability and everyone's on the same page looking

2587
02:10:22,600 --> 02:10:25,600
Speaker 1: for the best player to bring into their organization and

2588
02:10:25,720 --> 02:10:28,680
Speaker 1: put in the time and the investment to develop those players.

2589
02:10:29,720 --> 02:10:31,760
Speaker 1: Things are getting stable around here. That's a good sign

2590
02:10:31,800 --> 02:10:33,640
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bill Steve. The fact that there is

2591
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:36,400
Speaker 1: stability now in the coaching staff and then the player

2592
02:10:36,440 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 1: personnel department. Right now, we've had long conversations about him

2593
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:41,760
Speaker 1: or if it may pay off bigger dividends this year

2594
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:44,320
Speaker 1: than any other year but previous so well, hopefully that's

2595
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:47,000
Speaker 1: the case for us. But you're right, it's nice to

2596
02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:49,960
Speaker 1: be looking at the same faces every day, even though

2597
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:54,120
Speaker 1: we know we've seen anybody in six weeks. But nonetheless,

2598
