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

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

00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: On April twenty nine, some interesting NFL news and notes.

17
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. We all remember

18
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: the former Bears quarterback Jim McMahon. Steve. He of the headbands,

19
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: the controversial headbands, and the perma sunglasses that I feel

20
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: were riveted to his skull. He was a character. I

21
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question about that. Obviously, was the

22
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: winning quarterback in the eighty five Super Bowl winning team

23
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: and then finished his career in Green Bay, of all places.

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Was played for Philly for a little bit as well,

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: but in Green Bay of all places, and he recently

26
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: said that the Packers, in his estimation, are the best

27
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: organization that he played for, and followed it up with

28
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: this Adam Bob He said, the Bears are where quarterbacks

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: go to die. Oh talk about taking the TNT plunger

30
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: and pushing it all the way down. That isn't that whoa,

31
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: that's a wild e coyote move right there, just pushed

32
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: the plunger down and the bomb goes off inside. Wow boom.

33
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: That's but he's got history to back him up. Well, yeah,

34
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: he's not going out on a big landum, I guess.

35
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: But he's yeah, he's yeah, you know how I feel. Yes, Yes,

36
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: that's why I brought it up. He's right. It's the

37
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Bears and the Detroit Lions are identical except for their

38
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: zip code. Yeah, in the way that they they have

39
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: been run. Now, Matt Stafford put together a nice career

40
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: in Detroit he's a great player. I think he's gonna

41
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna get out to LA and look around and

42
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: start practicing, get on the field, start He's like, are

43
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: you kidding me? What is how really? What have I

44
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: been doing for ten years? Uh? No doubt about it.

45
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: And yeah McMahon, yeah, yeah. He was on the eighty

46
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: five Bears, a super Bowl team, an all time legendary team. Um,

47
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: he didn't last long there. He was with a volatile

48
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: head coach. McMahon is and and McMahon is nothing if

49
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: not his own guy. A character marches to the beat

50
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: of his own drum, Shelley, and you're not breaking his

51
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: stride either. He's gonna do what he's gonna do. Uh.

52
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: No matter what the headband, he was the he was

53
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: one of the in a lot of people's minds and memories.

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: He's the first out their quarterback. You can say which

55
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: you wanted about Joe Namath back in the sixties as

56
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: being the Hollywood Joe and Broadway Joe. I'm starting would

57
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Broadway Joe, and he was great, legendary, But McMahon was

58
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: at another level. He was he was, he was. I

59
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: hated his authority. He was a punk. Yeah, I hate authority,

60
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: and I don't care if you hate me for it.

61
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say about a headband with

62
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the commissioner's name written on it. Remember the Roselle headband

63
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: he got, He got in trouble if we're in a

64
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: headband had didn't have a DTIs on it or so

65
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: he got fined. He got fined for the headband that

66
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: wasn't approved league. It was not a name day. Where

67
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: So then he put a headband on and wrote the

68
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: commissioner's name on the headband. That and that is the

69
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: tip that is the tippy top tip of the iceberg. Yeah. Um,

70
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 1: there was you know, a thousand more incidents and stuff.

71
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: And if you if you signed Jim to your team,

72
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: you knew what you were in for. Yeah, and you

73
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: know he got was a pretty good player. Yeah, but

74
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: at the drop of a hat, he could go rogue

75
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: and oh no, no, no, no no, I mean if you

76
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't like the play coming in and didn't

77
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: think it made sense, he changed. Well, yeah, that's true

78
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: on the football field, but him going rogue, he lived

79
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: that life. He was rogue lifestyle all day, every day,

80
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: day and night day before game. So I thought that

81
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: was I thought that was interesting. The comments not surprising,

82
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: nor is the characterization. But still in all I thought,

83
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: look at their quarters that they've had, Look at the

84
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they've had. I mean, you can run down the list.

85
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know Cutler, Jay Cutler, Trubisky couldn't

86
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: succeed there, and that goes any go. We can go

87
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: back in history. Bobby Bobby Douglas. That was the last

88
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: guy that actually did some stuff for them. There was

89
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Rushman thousand. He rushed for a thought. That's how off

90
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: the wall that was, you know, I mean, what was

91
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: Vince uh, I can't remember back in the eighties, he

92
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: was there in the late eighties, vices Vince Evans, great player.

93
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: Um Jay Cutler? Who who's the other one? The guy

94
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: that played at got drafted overall high by the Cold

95
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: and Biscuit put him out of his first game in

96
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: this building. Yeah, talking about Jeff George. Jeff George did

97
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: he play for the Bears for heartbeat? Or I might

98
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: be thinking of Cutler only kind of the same character person, Right,

99
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: they're the same They're the same guy, cut from the

100
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: same cloth. They've had. You go down the list of

101
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Chicago quarterbacks and it is. I mean, Cleveland looks like

102
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: a haven. Yeah. Eight, and they've run through a few dozen.

103
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Um other NFL news and notes, Mike Tomlin signs a

104
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: three year contract extension as head coach of the Steelers.

105
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: So he's going nowhere. And you know we've said this

106
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: on this show before. This is a franchise that's had

107
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: three head coaches since nineteen sixty nine. He's never had

108
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: a losing season. That yeah, not one, not a single one.

109
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: I think nine and seven is his worst year. And

110
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: he's never had a losing season. And there are people

111
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh who won him out. Well, he gets a

112
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: lot of criticism. What will be interesting beyond this year

113
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: coming up is how does he handle the transition post

114
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. I'm in the camp that this is Ben's

115
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: last year without question, so he's gonna have, you know,

116
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: more years left on his deal after that. How does

117
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: he navigate the post Ben Roethlisberger Steelers That that's gonna

118
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: be the biggest test potentially of his career. Yeah, because

119
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: he inherited Roethlisberger. Let's not forget that. I get it,

120
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: but you know what, Yeah, he inherited Roethlisberger, no question

121
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: about it. He's but he has put together a lot

122
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: of really quality teams. He has been a strong leader.

123
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: He's brought in volatile, controversial assistant coaches and coordinators, has

124
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: not hesitated to cut him loose when it became too much.

125
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: He has steadied the ship when he's had players on

126
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: his team who we only found out after the fact,

127
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: we're problem children. James Harrison and Tonio Brown. Now you

128
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: go down the list, Mike Wallace. There have been guys

129
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: that came through there who plexico burs, guys who came

130
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: through there who were go to the other teams and

131
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: they're going, what the heck is this guy? Who is

132
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: this guy? And they go to Pittsburgh and they walk

133
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: the line in Pittsburgh and Mike Tomlin doesn't get enough

134
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: credit for that. They've had a stellar defense since day one.

135
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: He's been there. He knows how to build a team

136
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: or build a roster, put it together and win. The

137
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: guys on it. I got and if you can't tell,

138
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean I got a ton of respect for him,

139
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: A ton of respect. I think he's one of the

140
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: top coaches in the NFL. He really is, and the

141
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: only time you ever hear about is when Pittsburgh Steater

142
00:08:52,960 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: fans criticize him for whatever. I don't know if Steelers

143
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: fans realize how good they have it, that's the problem.

144
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: They're spoiled down there, six rings and the and yeah,

145
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: the bars high, no question about it, I get it.

146
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: The bar is very high. Hey, this, the Steeler fans

147
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: are going to get a note from all the other

148
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC. Yeah, fire that guy, please so

149
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: we can hire m Please fire that guy. There'd be

150
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: if you did that. If the Steelers fired my pick

151
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: a year, whatever year you want, Steelers fire him with

152
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: say a month to go in the season, three other

153
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: at least three other head coaches in the league would

154
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: be immediately fired because they had they had a chance

155
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: at Mike Tomlin. Whoever you pick your It'd be a

156
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: different team maybe every year, because you know, but teams

157
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: that are thinking about firing their head coach, then Mike

158
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Comlin pops up on the market. Three guys would lose

159
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: their job and they would be a bidding war for

160
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin immediately. There is also some NFL media news

161
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Steve NFL. This is according to Andrew Groover, who I

162
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: believe is an AP reporter. He's reporting. NFL media and

163
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: Hulu announced today a new multi year carriage agreement to

164
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: bring NFL Network and NFL Red Zone to Hulu's live

165
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: TV subscription streaming service, and that will happen apparently by

166
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: August first, so for the upcoming season, it looks like

167
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Hulu will have the NFL's Red Zone channel available. As

168
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: we know, the Direct TV deal with the NFL only

169
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: runs through next year, twenty twenty two, I believe, And

170
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a solution for you know, being able

171
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: to pull in any NFL game you want on whatever

172
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: service beyond twenty twenty two, And so it's somewhat up

173
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: in the air, and it seems like the NFL is

174
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: at a bit of a crossroads. Do we stay with

175
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: satellite or do we go with stream And this might

176
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: be another step in the direction of streaming services. With

177
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: disagreement here and direct TV make it left out in

178
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: the cold on that. Yes, I think streaming services are

179
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: more ubiquitous. How about that word, I like it right, omnipresent. Yeah,

180
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: they're they're everywhere. I mean, satellite you gotta and now

181
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you don't have to subscribe to a

182
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: streaming serve, but everybody can subscribe. If you've got a phone,

183
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: you can subscribe to that satellite. Seems different than me,

184
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Yeah? I think the league has always

185
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: been about the most eyeballs possible, right, which to me

186
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: it would be going the biggest outlet, right. But there

187
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: is there is a shift that is happening right now

188
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: with the viewing public. Oh yeah, you know, chord cutters,

189
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: those kinds of things, and more and more people and

190
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: the access to streaming services on any device that you

191
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: own is a benefit as well. So now you're not

192
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: reliant upon someone being in their home to watch NFL

193
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: football games, right. They could be on the train watching

194
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: it on their phone or their iPad in the park,

195
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's going that way,

196
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: and I think the NFL is trying to make sure

197
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: they're in that forum so that their products can be

198
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: it's readily accessible and most widely. We talk about it

199
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: all the time, and it's and it really is the truth, Brownie.

200
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: The NFL is so they're so well, you can you

201
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: can belliate and moan about how much money they're worth

202
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: and how much money they make and that they exploit

203
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: every ad they are on it. Yeah. And the next thing,

204
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: not only is this streaming thing and the rights fees

205
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: and all the different places that are paying them so

206
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: much money for the rights to broadcast in whatever way,

207
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: shape or form, whatever platform we're talking about. I mean,

208
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: they're maximizing that. The one thing that I think that

209
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's

210
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna be another huge jump is is in Dame gambling. Yeah,

211
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: that's coming. That's on the legalized sports gambling is is

212
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: going to be maximized by the NFL as well. Well.

213
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: They already named official gaming partners just this past week,

214
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: you know Draft Kings Fan Duel and I want to

215
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: say it was Caesar's I want to say it was

216
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: the official sports book of the NFL. So already the

217
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: partnerships are happening. Quick story when when fan Duel and

218
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: the other one drafting Draft Kings came out, Um, and

219
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: when I used to work for CBS and we go

220
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: to New York once a year in like in August,

221
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: July or August before the season, the actually run up, right,

222
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: doesn't run up? They'd have a seminar and say Hey,

223
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: this is what our new graphics are going to look like. This.

224
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: These are the new broadcast crews that we're gonna be

225
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: working with. Here's the the talent that's going to be

226
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: paired together now and everything. A lot of thing times

227
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: it wouldn't change, but there's always some changes and new producers,

228
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: new directors, and he got to know every buddy, and

229
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: you gotta get you know, touch base with the you know,

230
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: with home base before the season started, because once the

231
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: season starts, nobody's in New York, right, so everybody's out,

232
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: so we're there. One year's come in normal, absolutely normally

233
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: a we're doing this, we're doing this, the auto industry

234
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: and this, you know, and all this we got and

235
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: here's the new shows that CBS is going to be

236
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: pumping in our promo, you know, all that stuff. The

237
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: next year we come back, it was Fan Duel, DraftKings Man,

238
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: that's all. There was everywhere. I mean they were they

239
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: pumped so much cash into the broadcast advertising. We were

240
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: like wow, I mean we didn't know. I mean, they

241
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: didn't tell us, but we're like, what was that number?

242
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: Because it was everywhere, and I mean it was like

243
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: from nothing to every nothing else, Yeah, and I'll never

244
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: forget it. And then the league is like, you know,

245
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: and it went away just as fast. It went away

246
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: just as fast. And now now that they legalize it everywhere,

247
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot of states have now it's yeah, it's back.

248
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: There is also draft news, which is topic of the

249
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: day for sure, and there are two teams in the

250
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: top twelve that are supposedly either fielding offers or expressing

251
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: interest in moving out from where they currently reside. Miami

252
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: at pick six is receiving calls from teams interested in

253
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: pick number six in the draft. Obviously, these are probably

254
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: teams looking to get the best pass catchers in the

255
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: draft class, whether they believe it's Kyle Pitts, Jamar Chase,

256
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: Davante Smith, whoever you like. If Atlanta goes for a

257
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: quarterback Cincinnati, the general consensus is they will take an

258
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: offensive tackle. So that puts Miami in a catbird seat

259
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: for the top pass catcher in the draft at picks six,

260
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: So you understand why that is a pick of interest.

261
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: There is also this Ian Rappaport from NFL Network is

262
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: talking about the Giants pick at eleven. They are interested

263
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: in trading back. It is something they are quote internally

264
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: considerate that spot has value, so it's got value for

265
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: a number of positions. Cornerback, you could get arguably one

266
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: of the best cornerbacks in the draft there at eleven,

267
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: probably one of the best linebackers in the draft. And

268
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons at eleven. You can even talk if you

269
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: really like a pass rusher, that's probably a little high

270
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: because the edge rushers are largely considered to be middle

271
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: first round to lower first round. So there are two

272
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: picks there in the top twelve that are being considered.

273
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: So Steve and I will talk about that. We have

274
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: to take a break here because we're gonna cover ourselves

275
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: so we can bring you the Brandon Being press Conference

276
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: live and uninterrupted in the second hour of the show.

277
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: So we'll take a break here to accommodate that. But

278
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: we'll talk about these two potential areas of movement in

279
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: the top twelve of the draft. Next on One Bills

280
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalada Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

281
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: back the one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

282
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: awaiting the Brandon Being press conference with the media. His

283
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: annual pre draft press conference is taking place in the

284
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: second hour of the show about forty minutes from now,

285
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: so we'll be sure to carry that live for you

286
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: right here. So as we wait in anticipation for that,

287
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: we dive into some of the latest draft rumblings concerning

288
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: pick number six with Miami and pick number eleven with

289
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. The Giants are supposedly open for

290
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: business at pick eleven and would be willing to move

291
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: out for the right offer that according to NFL Network

292
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: sing and Rappaport, and Miami has confirmed they are in

293
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: fact fielding offers for their pick at number six. If

294
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: you remember, they originally had pick number three in this draft,

295
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: but they and San Francisco swapped spots at three and twelve,

296
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: along with a host of other picks going back and

297
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: forth between them, and then Miami the very same day

298
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: made a deal with Philadelphia and moved back up to

299
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: number six, with Philadelphia sliding back to twelve and gave

300
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: up a first round pick next year to do so. So,

301
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I were discussing this during the break. If

302
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Miami is going to move out at six, and they're

303
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: moving anywhere near anywhere outside the top ten, logic would

304
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: say they would need a first round pick to get

305
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: that done. After parting with one to do the very

306
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: same move right exactly that and yeah, plus a number

307
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: one twenty three, which is a fourth round fourth rounder.

308
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: They swapped basically the original trade to get up from

309
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: twelve to six for Miami. Miami got six and one

310
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: fifty six from the Eagles, which is a fifth and

311
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: got the number and the Eagles got the twelfth pick

312
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: and a fourth rounder at one twenty three along with

313
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins first round pick next year. It's impossible to

314
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: understand this over the radio, I'm sure, because you're sitting

315
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: there listening to the ones and two. What happened is

316
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: Miami is gonna have to get what they got. To

317
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: get what they gave to get into number six. They

318
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: traded out of the number three spot, went down to twelve,

319
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: got some got some good stuff for that, got a

320
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: got a haul, then they traded some of it back

321
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: to get back to number six. So what we're saying

322
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: is if they're going to get out of the number

323
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: six now, they're gonna have to get at least what

324
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: they got to move up there from the twelve spot,

325
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: probably more because it'll take more for a team further

326
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: down the pecking order than twelve to get back into

327
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: the top ten. So Miami is sitting there at six thinking,

328
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: if certainly the Eagles aren't gonna want back up there, well,

329
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: let's let's speculate, Steve. Let's have a little fun here

330
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: and speculate the Yeah. So if they're everbody's gonna golate

331
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: at twelve, if somebody's gonna get back in there, it's

332
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: not gonna be one of the teams. It's not gonna

333
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: be the Chargers at thirteen. They have their quarterback. It's

334
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: somebody looking to get a quarterback, hoping one of the

335
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: top four squirts down to six. Yes, but the other

336
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: team is New England. You think Miami's gonna trade with

337
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: New England in their division so they can get I

338
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: don't write. Okay, that's good for the Bills. That's that's actullent.

339
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: If Minnesota, if Minami doesn't turn it into the Jets,

340
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: then New England's not getting Miami's pick at six. Is

341
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: it Minnesota at fourteen? It's not. It's not Arizona. They

342
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: have Kyler Murray. Okay, is it the Raiders? A's seventeen?

343
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: Who's looking to get up to six. Um, if you're

344
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: going and hoof man, it's it's so is it Denver

345
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: at nine? Maybe it's Denver at nine. That would be

346
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: a that would be a team I could see trying

347
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: to get up to six and you wouldn't have to

348
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: pay a king's ransom to get there because it's only

349
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: three spots, right, So maybe it's Denver trying to get

350
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Maybe Denver would make sense. Minnesota would make

351
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: sense if you're looking for somebody to replace Cousins. Um,

352
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: maybe it's Las Vegas. But Denver, if you think about it,

353
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: Denver's only sitting at worth. They're at nine. Nine. It's

354
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: an easy move that I think that could facilitate a

355
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 1: trade because it's not gonna take a ton because they

356
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: don't want that pick to get to Detroit or carrol'a

357
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: Detroit and Carolina are going to pick a quarterback. But

358
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: though they're not. But I think they're worried about somebody

359
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: leap frogging them. Right, I got you, I got you,

360
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: because if you sit there at nine and hoped for

361
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: the best and there's still a quarterback on the board,

362
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna jump into Detroit spot or drump into Carolina,

363
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: spot and trade out, trade them out. Here's what you do,

364
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: and now you're left there holding the back. Here's what

365
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: you gotta think though. If you're Denver, you called Detroit

366
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: and you call Carolina, those teams between you and Miami,

367
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: you say, listen, don't make a trade unless you call us,

368
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: because you can have our number nine pick instead of

369
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: the number fifteen pick, and if you want, you can

370
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: trade out of that one too. That's a lot of

371
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: what Brandon Bead did. He laid Brandon Bean laid a

372
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: lot of the groundwork to give put himself in position

373
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: to make moves up provided the board fell the way

374
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: they thought it would in twenty eighteen when they got

375
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So presumably, let's just hypothetically say it's Denver. Okay,

376
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: Denver's trying to get up to number six. They want

377
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: to hopefully get the fourth quarterback in the class they've

378
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: got because they're happy with any one of those four

379
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: over what they have right now. And they call Miami

380
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we'd be willing to offer you this

381
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: to come up to six. Is that good with you? Well,

382
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: we need you to do this and that. Okay, we'll

383
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: do this. Is that good enough to get up to

384
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: number six? That would get the job done? Okay, Miami,

385
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: we gotta wait and see how the board falls. But

386
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: if our guys there, we're gonna call you and we

387
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: can pull this deal off. Yes, you can do that,

388
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: provided our guy isn't there, as Miami might say, we

389
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: have a guy in mind. If he's off the board,

390
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: the pick is yours, and provided we don't get a

391
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: better offer in the meantime or don't already have an

392
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: offer on the tape. True, So we're not gonna make

393
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: that done now and have something change and some team

394
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: comes in with three ones, We're like, what you know,

395
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: well that I'm exaggerating to make a play, right, So

396
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: and plus you know, Miami, you gotta sit there. And

397
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: the wild card that I keep looking at his New England.

398
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: If New England wants to get into the top ten

399
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: and do it, they're not gonna be able to trade

400
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: Miami for that. Miami's not going to give New England

401
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback of their choice. I think. I think if

402
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: New England wants to get up there, they're gonna have

403
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: to do a deal with Atlanta or they're gonna have

404
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: to do a deal with Detroit at seven or maybe Cincinnati. Yeah,

405
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: because Cincinnati, if they trade out and get picks in

406
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: this draft, there's still going to be enough offensive linemen

407
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: for them to revamp their entire even at fifteen, Yes,

408
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: at fifteen plus a maybe a fifty, yeah, you know

409
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: or whatever that whatever the trade would be get a

410
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: first and a second. The problem here is New England

411
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: does not have a lot to offer in the form

412
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: of draft capital this year. They only have pick fifteen,

413
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: pick forty six, and pick ninety six on the first

414
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 1: two days. That is not a lot to work with.

415
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: So then it becomes an exercise in offering players as

416
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: you brought up yesterday. Maybe it's Stefan Gilmore and pick

417
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: fifteen to get up to five, or maybe it's fifteen,

418
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: forty six and Gilmore to get up to five. Or

419
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: maybe it's fifteen Gilmore and a one next year to

420
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: get up to four or five, something like that. Right,

421
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: So these packages are so free wheeling, you can be

422
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: so creative with it. It's impossible to anticipate except the

423
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: basic move of they want to trade up. What's it

424
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: going to take. The interesting part of it is when

425
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: they start trading picks from this draft. Usually they exchange

426
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: at least one pick when you do a trade on

427
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: draft Day, and then the rest of it could be

428
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: later this year or maybe you know, in the next year.

429
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: So it's impossible to say what could happen. We only

430
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: know this, You and I and most people don't believe

431
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: that some of the teams, in this case, the Patriots,

432
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: we don't believe that there's going to be one of

433
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks, or even a quarterback that is on the

434
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: board that's worthy of a first round pick at fifteen,

435
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: And the Patriots probably don't believe it either. I don't

436
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: think they do. I think question is, three guys are

437
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: coming off the board in the first three picks. I

438
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: think yes. So now the next question becomes, how likely

439
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: is it that the Patriots are no longer in pick fifteen?

440
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: How likely is it they stay at pick fifteen. I

441
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: think it's like ten percent. Now, yeah, I think at

442
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: best it's a coin flip. They might move up or

443
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: they might move back. But I don't know if they're

444
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna sit there at fifteen and just pick somebody. I

445
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: don't know, especially if they're interested in a quarterback. Maybe

446
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: they do. It depends on their partner, you know, I mean,

447
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: I guess in round two they could look at a

448
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: pick forty six. You could probably look at somebody like

449
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: a Kellen Mond from Texas A and M who's at

450
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: the top of that second tier of quarterbacks, and then

451
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: Cam's your bridge this year, and then incomes mind next

452
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: year who has a very similar athletic skill set to Newton.

453
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: What are the chances though, if the forty nine ers

454
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: do what you and I think they're gonna do and

455
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: pick somebody other than mac Jones, that mac Jones is

456
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: still there at fifteen. You think he can be there

457
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: at fifteen? Oh yeah, well, because if they pass on

458
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: him at four, at three, at three, does mac Jones

459
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: get picked between just four and fifty two or these

460
00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: other guys that are gonna take one Cincinnati? No, Atlanta? Maybe? Yeah, maybe,

461
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: but as to take a young kid, let him learn

462
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: under Matt Ryan, no pressure. But Atlanta wants to win

463
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: and Kyle and Kyle Pitts is going to be there

464
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: at film what do you That's a tough call. That's

465
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: a really tough call. That's why we've talked all week

466
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: about Atlanta really really being the first pivot point of

467
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: that's where the draft, of what they are faced with

468
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: or what they will probably be faced with. You can

469
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: say what you want about the forty nine ers. They're

470
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna pick a quarterback. Whether it's Trey Lance, Justin Fields,

471
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: or Mac Jones, one of those three guys is going

472
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: to be the pick of the San Francisco forty nine

473
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: ers in our opinion, right, So if that happens, Atlanta

474
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: is really where the draft begins. Are they gonna win

475
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: now with Kyle Pitts or are they gonna lay store

476
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: up a quarterback that may be a pretty good pro

477
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: down the line and let him learn behind what who's

478
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: been probably the best quarterback in Atlanta history. So, the Giants,

479
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: who are supposedly interested in moving out of pick eleven,

480
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: they have seven picks, but they only have three in

481
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: the top one hundred and fifteen selections, and they've got

482
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: holes two and seventy six, and then after that they

483
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: have one sixteen in round four and a pair of

484
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: sixes and that's it. So they have multiple holes to fill.

485
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: So it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Giants

486
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: try to move out of eleven and stockpile some picks.

487
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: So they've got more tools to fill the holes that

488
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: still exist on their rosters. So that makes sense to me.

489
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: I could see the Giants being interested, maybe not too

490
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: far down the board, but maybe eleven to fifteen. Maybe

491
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots are talking to the Giants and saying, well,

492
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: if mac Jones slides past the Niners and the Falcons,

493
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: we're getting on the phone and we'll call the Giants

494
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: and see what it takes to get up there to eleven.

495
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,719
Speaker 1: Because fifteen to eleven isn't a humongous move, you know,

496
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: that's that's a doable one, even with the little draft

497
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: capital that the Patriots have to offer, and they probably

498
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: have to offer a player, and the Giants might be

499
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: interested in Stefan Gilmore quite frankly, Yeah, that's that's intriguing.

500
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: That's intriguing to me. And step And the only reason

501
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: I bring up Steph Gilmore it's got like one year

502
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: left on big number, but the guy's only two years removed. Actually,

503
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it is a big number. I think

504
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: his salary came down in the final seven like seven

505
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: and a half million, see it. And if you get

506
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: step if you come back and get Steph Gilmore for

507
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: that number, and he can give you any which I

508
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: think you've got a really solid year left in Steph Gilmore,

509
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: especially if he's trying to play for one more contract. Right,

510
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 1: that's a really good move for the Giants. Um are

511
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: an intriguing move anyway, Certainly it's short term. I don't

512
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: think they'll be able they'll sign him or need to,

513
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: but he'll help him immediately. I don't know if that's

514
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: enough though. One is Steph Gilmore, Okay, yeah, but and

515
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: they still get the fifteenth pick though, so is one

516
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: year of Steph Gilmore worth that probably not got to

517
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: give draft capital. I gotta give up your pick at

518
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: fifteen and Gilmore probably to get that done. Break time

519
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: for us when we come back. More draft talk as

520
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: we count down to the live Brandon Bean press conference

521
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: coming your way in about twenty five minutes. As we'll

522
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: carry it here live on One Bill's Live presented by

523
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

524
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: with you, and we do want to mention we've yet

525
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: to do this, Steve, because we got so wrapped up

526
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: in the draft rumors taking place with the Dolphins pick

527
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: at six and the Giants pick at eleven. We got

528
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, who's going to be delivering answers to questions

529
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: in a press conference, the pre draft press conference coming

530
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: up on about twenty minutes from now that we'll be

531
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: carrying live here on One Bills Live. And we thought

532
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: it fitting to pose to you on the Twitter poll

533
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: a Brandon Being related question, and that is what will

534
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: be Brandon Bean's biggest challenge with this year's draft. We

535
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: have some choices for you at one Bills Live on Twitter.

536
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: A finding two immediate contributors. B filling needs at corner

537
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: and edge rusher, see being open to unexpected trade opportunity

538
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: or something else. And right now most are of the

539
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: opinion that it's going to be tough for Brandon Being

540
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: to fill the team's perceived needs at cornerback and edge rusher.

541
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about getting a top tier corner, but I'm

542
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: not concerned about them getting a capable corner in this

543
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: year's draft. Yeah, it's ver's interesting. It looks like there's

544
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: going to be a run on corners before the Bills

545
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: are even on the clock, and so getting one of

546
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: the top five might prove difficult. And think about it, though,

547
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we always go crazy over the most coveted

548
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: position in football at quarterback, and to have five go

549
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: in the first round is crazy. And there are five

550
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: guys that are upper tier corners in this draft. When

551
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: was and I don't know how many times the five

552
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: corners get picked in the first draft. Yeah, I think

553
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: it's happened before. I don't think it happens often, but

554
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: I think it's due to a couple of factors. Number One,

555
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle class is strong horrible, right, it's horrible.

556
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: This year. You may only see one guy at defensive

557
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: tackle going round one, Christian Barmore, who Steve has talked

558
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: about from Alabama. Then you have edge rusher class. Not

559
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: much elite talent that's going to go in the top fifteen,

560
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: but we'll probably come off the board more often in

561
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: the bottom half of the round. Now, you do have

562
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: some top end corner talent, which will naturally gravitate up

563
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: in the top half of the round because of the

564
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: dearth of top end talent at those positions I mentioned.

565
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: So you're gonna see receivers and corners coming off the

566
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: board like crazy between about six and fifteen, and then

567
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a second run on whatever's left on

568
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: the cornerback board in the early twenties, which is probably

569
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna leave the Bills on the outside looking in if

570
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: they stay at thirty. I don't know. I don't know,

571
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: and I know there's some teams up there the need corners,

572
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: no question, But don't don't underestimate the power of the

573
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: draft to have somebody, some other shiny toy than another

574
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: team needs that. The Bills don't the world, you know

575
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, for instance, receivers Pittsburg, like Denver,

576
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: like you know, all these teams, and you go down

577
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: to get Dallas offensive line fell there every team in

578
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: the league you look down their need list. Certainly there's

579
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: a number of them that have cornerback at it. But

580
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: like the Bills, who have edge rusher slash corner on

581
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: all of our minds, most some of those teams are

582
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna get go edge rusher, and like if they're the Bills,

583
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna go edge rusher instead of corner because if

584
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: certain guy fell, and because that team that guy fell

585
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: to them, and they took that guy, this other team says, well,

586
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we better take our guy at a

587
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: different position, not corner. You know what I'm saying. There's

588
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna be teams that they could be. There's gonna be

589
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: teams that have a need that don't fill that need

590
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: because somebody better falls to them or is out there,

591
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: or when push comes to shove, they just like better.

592
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be one of those top five

593
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: corners at thirty. The problem is, I think it's gonna

594
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: be Farley with back surgery. Yeah, you could be one

595
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: of those guys. You got Jalen Billups who is widely

596
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: considered one of the best edge rushers in the class,

597
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: but he's got a concussion history and questions to be

598
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: answered medically there. And then you've got Greg Rousseau, the

599
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: pass rusher who was also from Miami who opted out

600
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: this year. Didn't look all that fluid. It is pro

601
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: Day looks great on tape. Where does he go? Is

602
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: everybody convinced that he can be what he seems to

603
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: be on tape? So there are gonna be pock marks

604
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: on just about everybody for some teams. Some teams will

605
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: be fine with it and say he's great, We're taking him.

606
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. I gotta tell you that it So

607
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see where it goes. I know

608
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break. I'm glad, I'm glad the

609
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: Bill's earned the thirtieth pick it gets. It's huge fodder

610
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: for you and me to talk because all the all

611
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: the permutations that it could be, but it was much

612
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: less complicated when you're picking nine or eight. So let

613
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: us know what will be Brandon Bean's biggest challenge with

614
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: this year's draft. Choices are there for you One Bills Live.

Speaker 1: live here on one bill is Live. But let's go

00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: to the phones at ATO three five fifty and bring

624
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,120

625
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on One Bills Live. Hey, Chris,

626
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you put aller up there, but

627
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: I gotta say oller because it's gonna be the same

628
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: as last year or where they had to do everything

629
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: virtually and remotely, only it's gonna be times five or

630
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: ten because they didn't get any film on these guys

631
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: last year. Let's say that out. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

632
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: and we do have other tim We always have other

633
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: there for you. So it is there on the on

634
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: the Twitter polls, so thank you for choosing it. I'll

635
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: say this, The biggest difference Steve is they didn't even

636
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: have a combine this year. They had a combine last year.

637
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: And you say, all right, well, what's the big deal

638
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: you go to all these pro days. The problem is

639
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: you can't compare all of the testing measurements to past

640
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: combines because they didn't take place on the same surface.

641
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: Everybody knows the track at Ohio State is super fast,

642
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: so those guys can run fast times. And you don't

643
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: have the three hundred best prospects in the draft running

644
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: in the same place at um I'm gonna forget the

645
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: name of the Indianapolis Stadium, Lucas Oil. Thank you. They're

646
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: not all running on the same surface, so the times

647
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: don't translate. I mean, you got like the Georgia kids,

648
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: Stokes and Campbell running the four twos and you're like, wow,

649
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: that's awesome. But you know, how do I compare that

650
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: to you know, whoever ran last year or a Marquis

651
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: Goodwin who ran four to eight, you know in Indianapolis.

652
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: So that's what you're it's not apples to apples. If

653
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: you ask most Scouts, they will say this, it's not

654
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna be like last year ten times worse at all.

655
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be ten times worse. I think

656
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think they're gonna be better organized

657
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: than they were last year because what they went through

658
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: last year. They can have ten people in the draft room.

659
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: Whereas last year, Brandon Bean was his in his basement,

660
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: Joe Shane was in Joe Shane was in his basement,

661
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermots in his basement, Carry and Tim Pogoula were

662
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: in their basement. Everybody was nobody was in the same room. Yeah,

663
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: this year they can have ten people in their draft room,

664
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: and then they can have other people in satellite rooms

665
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: around the building so they can have live feeds so

666
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: they can be there, like all the scouts can be

667
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: in at ten scouts can be in the room and

668
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: attend you know, pro personnel can be in the room

669
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: and attend college, you know, all that stuff. So they

670
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: can at least all get together. And they have also,

671
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: I know this they have done. They have been in

672
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: meetings for hours upon hours and days upon days. All

673
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: the scouts are in town, all the coaches are in town, everybody.

674
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: It's all hands on deck at one Bill's Drive right now. Anyway,

675
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's like in the rest of

676
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: the league. It's probably much the same. They are all

677
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: in town and they are all meeting, and they are

678
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: all meeting all the time. They have they are long

679
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: days right now, and so that they're gonna be ready. Yeah,

680
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: and the lessons of doing more with less last year

681
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: will make the process easier this year. While there are

682
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: still some COVID restrictions in play. You can say what

683
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: you want about the evaluation process, and that is what

684
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: it is. But they are not up against it in

685
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: a way that nobody else is. They're out ahead of it.

686
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't agree with Tom from Times.

687
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: Worthy still be a challenge, but nothing compared to last year.

688
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: We have to break Brandon Bean's live press conference coming

689
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:20,880

690
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique.

691
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role pleader for you. Steve,

692
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stratosphere of normalcy.

699
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: to turn things over to Bill's general manager Brandon Bean.

700
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: As he begins his pre draft press conference with the Medium,

701
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: I just want to thank the scouts, the college guys.

702
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: They've they've done a heck of a job and in

703
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: an odd year to try and gather information, watch players

704
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: that couldn't be on the campus as much. It was

705
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: more game only, and so a lot of digging and

706
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: a lot of zooming, and you know, all the world

707
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: we're in, but they've done a heck of a job

708
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: helping us get this board set and then our coaches

709
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: the past month, once we got through free agency, have

710
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: really jumped in head first and zoomed a lot of

711
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: these guys to help us get to know more and

712
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: either allowed us to jump on them or or go

713
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: back and watch some of them. And we're still kind

714
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: of doing a little bit of that as we wrap up.

715
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: So thanks though, you know all those people in their

716
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: hard work, and we're excited for where we're at. All right,

717
00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: we'll get started with selsee they bring good to see you.

718
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this today, thanks to Auguste. Buddy. I

719
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: have a non draft question if I made a start

720
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: off with, UM, you have the fifth year option coming

721
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: up on May third, the deadline for both Josh and Tremaine. UM,

722
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: have you made any decisions on that? And UM, you

723
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: know any updates I guess you could give us on

724
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: where you stand with those. Yeah. Short answer is, UM,

725
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna wait till after the draft, UM to figure

726
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: that out. We've had some discussions, but really that'll be

727
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: front front and center as soon as the draft's done. UM.

728
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: The hard part this year is gonna be the cap

729
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: has gone down. Don't know exactly where it's going to

730
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: be next year, Probably not a huge increase. You know,

731
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: Josh's numbers in the twenties because of a Pro Bowl.

732
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: Tremaine has made a couple of Pro Bowls. He's pushing thirteen,

733
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: so you know, you can't really be flexible with those

734
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: cap numbers. So we've got to make sure if we

735
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: pick them both up. You know that we're gonna have

736
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 1: close to thirty five million in next year's cap, so

737
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: it's not an ideal scenario from that to pick them

738
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: pick them both up and not extend them. So we

739
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: just got to kind of figure out how we can

740
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: make that work in our system. But we'll have that answer.

741
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, wants the drafts over so and how has

742
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: resigning Darryl, John and Matt maybe opened the draft up

743
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: for you guys open the board up or does it

744
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: not really matter because you just kind of go about

745
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: your business the same way basically, Yeah, I mean it helps.

746
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, the goal is to try and fill as

747
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: many spots as we can so that we're not going

748
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: into this draft with a void somewhere. And you know,

749
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: if we hadn't been able to sign those guys and

750
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: then didn't find you know, if they left and we

751
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 1: didn't find proper replacements, you know, it's not fun going

752
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: into the draft going, Man, we can't get out of

753
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: Day two without this player. It puts a lot of

754
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: pressure on you. And sometimes now you're reaching a little bit,

755
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: and it can happen because sometimes you know, you lose

756
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: a free agent and you're not able to find the

757
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: right guy in free agency for whatever reason. So I've

758
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: seen it happen. But you know, very glad to get

759
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: those guys back, and it does help open the board

760
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: up to us not to have to select for need.

761
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: Thanks Brandon, you guys they Brandon, good to see you.

762
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned the uniqueness of evaluation over the past year plus.

763
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: How do you feel your ability to have a firm

764
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: grasp on who these guys are compares to in a

765
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: traditional setting when you get more in persons and whatnot. Yeah,

766
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's not as good, John, That's real. We've

767
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: done a lot of things, and we've answered a lot

768
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: of things that we would in person by a zoom,

769
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's you know, you bring a guy in,

770
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: you can spend a few hours with him. The zooms

771
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: are limited to one and there's still that barrier of

772
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: the zoom. So some of these guys we've said, you

773
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: know what, I still don't know, if I know player X,

774
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: let's get back on them, or let's put somebody else

775
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: on talking to them, and maybe we just kind of

776
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: stand aside and watch it or even watch it later

777
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: some of the ones that we've recorded. So it's been different.

778
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: I think the hardest part is where we're at now.

779
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, we met with the doctors last night, and

780
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: the medical is nowhere near where it usually is. Our

781
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: doctors usually have a very good feeling on all the

782
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: guys that go to Indy. The holes were usually the

783
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: loops were trying to close. At this point, are non

784
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: combined guys just trying to call their schools and get data.

785
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 1: You know, this year one hundred and forty guys ended

786
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: up going to Indy, and some of those guys got

787
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: out of there without images and things like that. So

788
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: some of us going on calling those schools, the people

789
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: that are doing their due diligence on it, and just

790
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: trying to put you two and two together. But that's

791
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: probably my biggest angst is some unknown medical You don't

792
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: want to take a guy I and all of a

793
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: sudden you bring him in here and you're going, man,

794
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how well this guy's going to stay

795
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: on the field for us. Thanks Brandon, you got a John.

796
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: Hey Brandon, hope you're doing well. Just have a question

797
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: about the thirtieth pick. Overall, where you guys are at,

798
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: how do you balance with what you will have at

799
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: number thirty and where your draft board is the issue

800
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: and not the issue, but how do you balance drafting

801
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: a guy who could start right away versus drafting a

802
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: guy who's more of a developmental player. Knowing where your

803
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: team is at this year and knowing what you're trying

804
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: to build for the future and the sustainability that you're

805
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: trying to build in Buffalo. Yeah, madd a good question.

806
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we at the end of the day at thirty,

807
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: we're going to try to take the best football player

808
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: we could take. We really are, And you know, you'd

809
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: love to say, hey, this guy's going to come in

810
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: and start right away day one, but it's going to

811
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: depend on which position it is. I do think there

812
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: are some physicians if it worked out that way, that

813
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: maybe not definitely start, but you could say this guy's

814
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: got a shot. I think there's some other guys that

815
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: we have on the board. We're going this guy's one

816
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 1: heck of a player, But he's not going to start

817
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: day one, but we will count on him and maybe

818
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: in a year he's going to be the starter. We'll

819
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: have a player that's on a you know, the last

820
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: year or their deal, and say he'll kind of back

821
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: up that player, learn from them, compete with them. But

822
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily expect him to start, So we'll think

823
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: long term more than short term. But uh, you know,

824
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. It'll be a good player.

825
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks Mattie, Hey, Brandon, Josh Reid here. Good

826
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: to see you as always. Thanks for Josh, they addressed

827
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: me today. I'm getting ready ahead into work right now.

828
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: You know, with the way you've built this roster, you know,

829
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: maybe just a lot of people from the outside looking

830
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: in see maybe just one or two pieces away from

831
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: making it to the super Bowl, you know, the ultimate

832
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 1: step sitting there at thirty, Is there maybe a little

833
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 1: more thought of climbing up. I mean you've in the past,

834
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: you've shown that you're not afraid to trade up or

835
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: trade back, you know, knowing that maybe at thirty you

836
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: don't get the guy who can come in right away

837
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: and make the difference. Is there maybe leaning a little

838
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: more or maybe a little more thought too, we can

839
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: jump up and get the guy that makes the difference. Yeah,

840
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's a guy on our board that

841
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: we go, man, I you know, I'm just hypothetically, there's

842
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: the guy you know, ten spots away at twenty and

843
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: we're going, man, this guy is really fits us. He's

844
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: everything we want. He's going to make a big impact. Now,

845
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: in long term, you'd have to talk about it and

846
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: of course see what it costs, and then obviously you'd

847
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: have to have the team, you know, willing to make

848
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: that move with you. So we won't be afraid to

849
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: go up, won't be afraid to pick at thirty and listen,

850
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: if we get it thirty and we got a man

851
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,479
Speaker 1: we think we can get a similar player going back

852
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: and someone's fired up for the pick, then we'd listen

853
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: to that too. So, um, we're willing to go either

854
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: way or or or definitely take that pick at thirty.

855
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: Good luck next week. Appreciate your time, brand. Thanks John Brandon,

856
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: John Warren, I can safely say I've never outtersted anybody,

857
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: so in respect it gosh ready, I like it. Um.

858
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: Three years ago, you you maneuvered your way up to

859
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: get you know, two picks in the top half of

860
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: the draft. Um, what are the inherent challenges that you've

861
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: now face and might face hopefully you're hoping for the

862
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: long term of having to you know, draft for the

863
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: back of the pack. Yeah, I mean it's a good problem.

864
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: I wish we were picking thirty two. Uh that that

865
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: that's the goal, but it is because you're you're in theory,

866
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 1: you're picking at the top of each the next round.

867
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 1: You know, we basically have you know, we're three picks

868
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: away from the top of the second round. So you know,

869
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: a lot of times when you're coming to the end

870
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 1: of the round, we're either gonna be picking at the

871
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: very bottom of one, or we're gonna be picking out

872
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: of the second round, depending on how it falls. And

873
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: the same thing at two, we may be picking out

874
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: the top of the third round. We stack the board

875
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: the way we see it. We don't worry about where

876
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: we're picking. And some rounds we've got a decent amount

877
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: of players. Some rounds we may have fifteen players, and

878
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: so it may work where you're you're going down. And

879
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: that's the scenario where if you only got fifteen players

880
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: in a round, the odds of you getting a guy

881
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, at the thirtieth or if there's comp picks involved,

882
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 1: you're talking even later than that. That's where the scenario

883
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: you're either going up or you're trying to go back

884
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: to get the value for the pick. So, so just

885
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: to follow up, how is it is it a mental

886
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to conscious readjustment of philosophy that you have

887
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: to take now in that in this scenario. Not really.

888
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: It's really just set your board and trust it and

889
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: and let the board tell you what to do. And

890
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: that's where it is. If if we get to pick

891
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: thirty and we've got nobody at the bottom of one,

892
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, on our board, and it's in two, and

893
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's at the top of two, you're like, hey,

894
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: that's close enough, we'll take it. But if if the

895
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: highest player would be way down in two, that's where

896
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: we're going. Man, we need to move back or um,

897
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: you know the scenario earlier, We need to get up

898
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: before our board gets cleaned out better. Thanks, thanks Brandon,

899
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: you got a John. Hey Brandon, what's up? Vic Are

900
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: you're doing? Man? Good? Have you buddy? Real good? Thank you? Brandon.

901
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: M kind of relates to what you just answered with

902
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: John's question, are there what are the inherent challenges of

903
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: day two selection? I guess regarding list of where you

904
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: where you pick on day one, or even if you

905
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: don't have a day one pick, what are the inherent

906
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: challenges they are knowing? First of all, it's still a

907
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: premium area and obviously there are flaws perceived and real

908
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: enough to push these players on your board into that

909
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: area and has the maneuvering you've done on day two

910
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: for the most part, except for I guess last year

911
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: reflected the challenges that making sure you're you're getting you know,

912
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: the right value on with picks two or three. Yeah,

913
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 1: I mean those are you said it? Those are still

914
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: premium picks. It's probably a more exciting day than day

915
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: one and a lot of you know, a lot of

916
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: respects because you're still hoping to get you know, two

917
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: players that maybe they're starters, maybe they're not, but but

918
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: you're hoping they're contributing, you know, vital contributors, if not

919
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: immediately through their career, you know, depending on who they're

920
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: backing up and what position is. So um, it's very

921
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: important for us to hit on those we don't we

922
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: try to be um, I'd say, trying to take crazy

923
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:12,919
Speaker 1: risk in those rounds. Maybe take more of your risk later,

924
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: you know on a heightweight, speed guy or um, this

925
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: guy's been a lower school player and and you feel

926
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: like his best football is ahead of him once you

927
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: get him here. Things like that, But no, it's it's

928
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: an important round. Fridays is a very fun draft dance.

929
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: That's what's cool after round one is seeing what's what's

930
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: been taken off the board and looking, you know, at

931
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: what's there as you enter Friday's round and are you

932
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna want to, you know, start calling and do we

933
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: want to start moving up? Is our board starting to

934
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: get cleaned out? Or are we going? Man, there's a

935
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: lot of guys here. We can really be patient, get

936
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: a guy or even move back and pick up you know,

937
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: a later pick. You know, we don't have a We

938
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: don't have a four this year. So what it makes

939
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: sense too if there's a lot of guys in the

940
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: second round that we would be happy with too. If

941
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: someone wanted to come up, go back and we pick

942
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: up a fourth or an extra five. So again, you know,

943
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: a lot will be determined after each round, but those

944
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: will be exciting rounds, and I think we should be

945
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: able to get some good players in two and three

946
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: to shoot and quick. Paul, you said exciting, you said,

947
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: I think fun? But is it is it? Is it

948
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: fair to say it's tougher because of that nature of

949
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, you still know these are the These

950
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: aren't the take a chance picks like you said they're

951
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: They're very important and premium. Is it tougher to get

952
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: it right? There? I guess is where I'm going with

953
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: day two? Yeah? I mean I think every round you

954
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: go down, it gets it gets harder. Um, it definitely does,

955
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: because early in the draft you're trying to decide. You know,

956
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: you're you're looking at this player and all the great

957
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: things he can do for you, but you do have

958
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, U, what would cause this player to fail? Like,

959
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 1: what scenario in our facility would cause him to fail?

960
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: And if you come away and it's other than an

961
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: injury or something like that that no one can control,

962
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 1: then you feel really confident. And as you go down

963
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: the draft board, it's all right, this guy's not as

964
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: high as some of these other guys, but what trait

965
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: or traits is he going to overcome. What does he have?

966
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it's intangibles. Like this guy, he's not a heightweight,

967
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: speed guy, but he's smart, he studies, he's a first

968
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: guy in the building and he's going to find a way.

969
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: And we see those guys all the time that are

970
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: undrafted players. Levi Walls is a great example of a

971
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: guy who doesn't have all the great traits that first

972
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: rounders have, but he's got elite intangibles, want to instincts

973
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: and when you add that up, he's gonna play in

974
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: this league for a number of years. And it's guys

975
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: like that that you try and find in the later rounds.

976
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: We were fortunate at him as a free agent. Thank you, Brandon,

977
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: you got it. Hey Brandon, it's Jay with the Buffalo News.

978
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: I hope you're doing well. Maddie touched on this earlier

979
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 1: with her question about the idea of the sustainability of

980
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: success that you guys have had. But you've got Josh,

981
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: who we all believe is going to be in a

982
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: different stratosphere with his contract here at some point, does

983
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: that knowledge impact how you approach this draft, because that's

984
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: going to have a trickle down effect on you. Really

985
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: how you build your entire roster when you have to

986
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 1: pay your quarterback. Do you have to look at certain

987
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: positions or players and say, we don't know if we're

988
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna be able to afford this guy. Does that impact

989
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: your draft planning? Yeah, I mean it definitely does. You

990
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 1: do have to We do have to look at what's

991
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: coming down the pipe as far as guys that are

992
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: going to be free agents next year, or are there

993
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: players that are gonna have a high cap number that

994
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: we may have to make a tough decision on them

995
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: depending on where the cat goes. I mean, there's still

996
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: there's less uncertainty than there was a year ago, but

997
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of uncertainty. You know, are we

998
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: definitely going to have full stadiums or you know, which

999
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: impacts the revenue, which impacts the cap. Just all those

1000
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: things will will be part of the process. But the

1001
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: cap is probably not going to go up a lot

1002
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: next year. I think it will increase from this year,

1003
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's going to be a giant increase.

1004
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of teams, including us, are

1005
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: still going to have some tough decisions going forward. So

1006
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: we've got to be smart with these picks finding as

1007
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: many guys cheap labor, if you want to call it,

1008
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: I use that term loosely, because you know, player salaries

1009
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: aren't cheap, but in comparison to what you would be

1010
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: paying a franchise quarterback or what we're paying for Davis

1011
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: and Steph and all those guys, we've got to find

1012
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: some guys on the lower end because you still got

1013
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: to field the team, and you got to find enough

1014
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: guys to line up and start for it. And in turn,

1015
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: does that maybe impact how you would view potentially moving

1016
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: up as opposed to down, given that going up sometimes

1017
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: sacrifices those draft picks, you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Now,

1018
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: it's definitely something we would have to weigh as far

1019
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: as Okay, if we're moving up, how far is you know,

1020
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: for moving four slots is probably not going to kill us.

1021
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: If we said, hey, we want to go to number

1022
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: ten your spot on, that's probably going to really cost us.

1023
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: And so if we were to do something like that,

1024
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: how are we going to make up for Where are

1025
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: we going to you know, account for these picks that

1026
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: we lost, which are four year deals that you know,

1027
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: at a controlled cost. So that's definitely something we'd have

1028
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: to weigh as far in each round you go down,

1029
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's less expensive to move up. So maybe

1030
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: in round one we don't do it or definitely not

1031
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: be hard to take that kind of move to your point,

1032
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: but maybe in some of the men to later rounds

1033
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: it makes more sense. You're not having to give up

1034
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: as much, especially if you're looking at your board and

1035
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: you're going, all right, we're in let's look at the

1036
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: sixth round. How many of these guys, based on what

1037
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: we've already taken and what we know, have a legit

1038
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: shot to make the fifty three. Thanks brand, appreciate your

1039
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: time you got. Hey, Brendon, good to see you. You

1040
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: were on podcast recently with Steve Weis Jim Trotter, and

1041
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: you had a great example of, you know, going back

1042
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: to your Carolina days of drafting Thomas Davis to deal

1043
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: with Michael Vick. And I'm curious after getting two looks

1044
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: at Patrick Mahomes this year, this entire offseason, to break

1045
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: down those two games and Kansas City and all that,

1046
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: have you guys kind of arrived at what it is

1047
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: specifically that you need, not position wise, but maybe like

1048
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of a player or skill set

1049
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: to kind of position yourselves better in those matchups next year, Yeah,

1050
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean maybe if we get a twelfth defender on

1051
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 1: the field, that would help. But no, I mean, he's

1052
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: he's an MVP as a league. He's been uh, you know,

1053
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: three years in a row. He's you know twice, he's

1054
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: been in the Super Bowl and once the a SC Championship.

1055
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: So he's up there for a reason. And when you're

1056
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: facing guys, there's very few guys I mean that have

1057
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: already what he's done, accomplished what he's already done, you know,

1058
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: in three seasons playing and so, um, it's it's gonna

1059
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: be a tough match no matter when we play him,

1060
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: where we play him, how we play him, and you

1061
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: just got to try and um, you know, on the

1062
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: defensive side, build as many weapons as you can, whether

1063
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: that's in the secondary, whether that's speed, linebackers, chase him down. Obviously,

1064
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: the front, I mean you saw what Tampa did, you know,

1065
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: their front really did a nice job versus Kansas City's front,

1066
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: which affected him and got him off his spot. But

1067
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: you can see even with Mahomes how good he is.

1068
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Some of the throws he made even when they got

1069
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: him off the spot, the play is not dead. So

1070
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 1: it's getting him, you know, flushed out, but then still

1071
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: having speed and ken your secondary hold up long enough

1072
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: and and you know they've done a great job with

1073
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: their team speed, you know, at the receiver position. Obviously,

1074
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Kelsey is you know, one of the best tight ends,

1075
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: if not in the best in the league. So a

1076
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: lot of weapons that he has, and he does a

1077
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: great job of either hitting him immediately or if the

1078
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: pressure gets their extending. So it's a tough assignment for

1079
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: for any defense and you know, and for Leslie, I

1080
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: know he's he's watched a lot of film and and

1081
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: showing probably two of of how teams have played him,

1082
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: who's had success, how they've had success. And so we'll

1083
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: continue to try and add, you know, as many defensive

1084
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: players that can help stop him, but it's it's never

1085
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna be easy. In five years from now, hopefully I'm

1086
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: still sitting here, but you're probably gonna still be asking

1087
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: me how we're going to stop Mahomes and hopefully not

1088
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: too many other guys like him. And if I can

1089
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: briefly follow up mentioned the line, what's been your impressions

1090
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: without getting into a certain player of the defensive line

1091
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: crop in this draft this year. Yeah, I do think

1092
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: there's some guys, uh, you know, there's I don't think

1093
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: there's you won't see as many guys maybe at the

1094
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: top of the draft, you know some you know, some

1095
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: of the guys that you know washing into last year

1096
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,479
Speaker 1: San Francisco, the year before. But there's there is depth

1097
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: at the position, just probably not as many those guys

1098
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: you're going, Hey, this guy's going to be the first

1099
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: non quarterback pass rush are taking you know, I don't

1100
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: think this is the year for that. Thanks Brandon, you

1101
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: got a cat sine you man. Hey, Brandon, thanks for

1102
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: doing this. Appreciate time. As always, I want to ask

1103
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: about the opt out guys and how that decision might

1104
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: change how you evaluate that. Not from the point of

1105
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: view of evaluating or making a value judgment of the decision,

1106
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: but that all these guys now have film that's at

1107
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: minimum five hundred days old. Yeah, that's hard. And we

1108
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: even ran into some guys that had injuries early in

1109
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: the nineteen season, and so we're watching eighteen take We're

1110
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: watching guys them go against guys that are playing in

1111
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: the league right now. For a couple of years. I mean,

1112
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: it's it's weird you're going with this kid was a

1113
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 1: freshman then, or a sophomore or whatever, And so very

1114
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: unique to go back that far. And unless you're watching

1115
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you're rarely going back, you know, a few seasons.

1116
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: You're usually watching this season and maybe the year before,

1117
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: but just to see how they've progressed. Are they you know,

1118
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: are they trending? So it's been very hard. You know,

1119
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: a lot of guys even started the season but then

1120
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: for whatever reason their team wasn't doing well, maybe they

1121
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: had an injury, or maybe an agent got to them

1122
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: and said, hey, you know, why risk it. You're not

1123
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: your team's not playing for the championship. And so it

1124
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of that. You know, some guys played

1125
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: three games, five, some played zero. Very unique year. Part

1126
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: of kind of what I was the opening question, you know,

1127
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: was not only is it hard to get to know

1128
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: these players? You know how much we put into the

1129
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: stock of who they are as people and what their

1130
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: work habits are going to be in their competitiveness and

1131
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: all those things. We're still figuring that out. We have

1132
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good feel. But the play you're you're definitely

1133
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: having to project a little bit on a guy that

1134
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,919
Speaker 1: you saw him play a lot in eighteen, very little

1135
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: in nineteen. You know how much of that way? Maybe

1136
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: you're going this guy probably has second round talent, but man,

1137
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's that's a lot of time away.

1138
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: Some guys did play in the Senior Bowl that had

1139
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: that that helped, But there were some guys that their agents,

1140
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, recommended they didn't play in the Senior Bowl,

1141
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: and that doesn't help. So it's just a matter of

1142
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: how comfortable are we with the last film we've seen

1143
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: on the great Brandon? Thanks, good luck next week. Thanks that, hey, Brandon,

1144
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking the time. Over the last three years,

1145
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: there's been an average of four trades between pick twenty

1146
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: and thirty two. How much you are how much are

1147
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: you expecting your phone dring with teams interested in pick

1148
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: thirty and how does the fifth year option play a

1149
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: big role in teams moving back up into the first round. Yeah,

1150
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: I think you see that a lot where if there's

1151
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: a premium player, whether it's a quarterback or um, you know,

1152
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: a left tack or a pass rusher, you know, one

1153
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: of those premium positions if there's a player on the

1154
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: board that a team you know, high up in two covets,

1155
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: that's where you see it a lot. I know Baltimore

1156
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: did that. They took Hayden Hurst and then a few

1157
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: years back and then traded up to pick thirty two

1158
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: because it gives you, it gives them that fifth year

1159
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: option on the player, which which is a controlled cost.

1160
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: So that's usually the scenarios where you'll see teams you know,

1161
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: in the top half of two go up into one,

1162
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, and it's it's exciting if you're in that

1163
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: role sometimes because you got a premium player, maybe in

1164
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: the time ten and round one and you're going, man,

1165
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: we had a first round grade on this player. Let's

1166
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: go get two first rounds out of here. Out of

1167
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: this draft. We'll trade up into the bottom of the round.

1168
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: So I would be surprised if we don't get some

1169
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: calls for thirty. We'll just have to make a judgment

1170
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: of how we see the board and if we would

1171
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: be willing to give it up. Definitely. Thank you, you

1172
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: got it, Hey, Brandon, how are you? What's up? Joe?

1173
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Not too much. I just wanted to go a little

1174
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: bit off of what Matt Barrino was talking about about

1175
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes and the difficulties that he presents. I mean, he

1176
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: is kind of the poster boy of this new breed

1177
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: of NFL quarterback that they really do their biggest damage

1178
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: out of structure. I'm just wondering, and we see a

1179
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: lot of the guys coming into this year have a

1180
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: lot of the same traits. I'm just wondering, how does

1181
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: that impact how you evaluate the defensive end position and

1182
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: if it makes you perhaps look for things a little

1183
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: bit different than you would have Let's say maybe you've

1184
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: been three or four years ago. Yeah, I don't know

1185
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: if it changes a lot of men. You're always looking

1186
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: for guys who are explosive off the ball. Um you know,

1187
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: you'd love to have the prototype size length, you know,

1188
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: to long arm these these tackles, you know, an array

1189
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: of pass you know, rush moves or the or the instincts. Now,

1190
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: some guys you see all the physical tools, but maybe

1191
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: they haven't been coached. You're going, hey, we get them

1192
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: in our system. We can we can get that fixed.

1193
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: You know, they have one move in college and you know,

1194
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle stalls them and they don't know how

1195
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: to counter out of it. Some of those things can

1196
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: be taught, but you're you're trying to grade the fit.

1197
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: You know, the physical tools, What is there? What is

1198
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: their speed? What's their explosiveness? Um? You know, can they

1199
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: change direction? Can they redirect or Russian you know, hard

1200
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: to their left and all of a sudden the ball

1201
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: goes out to their right. How quickly can they redirect

1202
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: and get out there to at least force a throw

1203
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't make the sack, but force the guy

1204
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: to throw it or get him down before it becomes

1205
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, a wide open, loose plate you know, behind them.

1206
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know that it's changed a lot. I mean,

1207
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, you go back to Carolina. One year we

1208
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,600
Speaker 1: drafted Julius Peppers, you know, number one overall, Like you,

1209
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: you can't find guys like that, you know. So when

1210
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: those guys come come available there, whatever year, you'll you'll

1211
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: take them. And so you're always looking for that. But

1212
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's changed, you know a lot.

1213
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, Joe, Yeah, that's right. I

1214
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: was just wondering because of the contained principles for for

1215
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys, they get outside the pocket

1216
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: where they kind of shift the own over and then

1217
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,640
Speaker 1: you throw it over the top of them. Yeah, I

1218
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: mean the one thing that has changed since then. I

1219
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: would say instincts are very important of everybody. Does you know,

1220
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: even you know Dable does it. A lot of the

1221
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: stuff behind the line, you know the Isaah McKenzie moving

1222
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: where's the ball at? So guys that are able to

1223
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: get off the ball and not lose it and still

1224
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: be able to attack the passer. You know, the offensive

1225
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: game has changed a lot where there's a lot of

1226
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: smoke and mirrors back there. The guys that instinctually have

1227
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 1: that feel will help them get an extra step that

1228
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: maybe they don't have athletically, they can make up for it.

1229
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yep, Hey Brandon, hope you're doing well. Thanks

1230
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: for doing this today. You know you mentioned that it's

1231
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: still a unique season, but does it feel like there

1232
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: is more clarity? Albeit there are different questions going into

1233
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 1: this year. Last year we didn't know how many games

1234
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: are going to be played, what the rollout was going

1235
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: to look like. Now I guess the questions are, are

1236
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: there stadiums going to be full? Like you mentioned, are

1237
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: there going to be vaccinations that are made mandatory? I

1238
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: guess how do you balance still having these questions but

1239
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: also still understanding you're in a better spot now than

1240
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: the league was last year. Yeah, I mean I think,

1241
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, the whole country's in a better spot. Obviously

1242
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: we're not past it, but I do think that this

1243
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: league showed they could do a training camp, two fifty

1244
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: six games plus of four playoffs, that it should be better.

1245
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: And you know, hopefully, you know, as the country continues

1246
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: to get vaccinated, hopefully all stadiums will be full, if

1247
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 1: not hopefully close to full. I think that will make

1248
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: the environment what we're all used to while we all enjoy.

1249
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: So I think we're in a much better spot. We're

1250
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: excited about where it's at. Still a lot of unknowns,

1251
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, our focus really is just here is to

1252
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: control what we can control, which is try to get

1253
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: better our players, you know, started the offseason program and

1254
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: then us here trying to get better with this draft

1255
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: coming up next week. Cool. Thanks Brandon, Thanks man, Hey Brandon,

1256
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 1: how you doing? Man? What's up? How you doing? Ourself?

1257
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: Can't complain a bit, but you know you've spoken a

1258
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: little bit about trading down. I'm curious if in your

1259
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: mind there's an inherent value in having in keeping that

1260
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: first round pick instead of acquiring more capital. Is there

1261
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: an option that you prefer over the other. No, it's

1262
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,679
Speaker 1: really it's really not I think either way is good.

1263
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: It's it's doing what's best for you. If I could

1264
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: tell you this, if there's a good player there, we're

1265
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: not trading down because there's no guarantee. You know, you

1266
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: trade down six seven spots, there's no guarantee that player

1267
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: is still going to be there if you've got quite

1268
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: a wide gap in your board of who the next

1269
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: player would be. So now the inverse of that is

1270
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: if you're to me, if our first round is completely

1271
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: wiped out of players, and maybe the top of the

1272
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: two is wiped out also, then you're really trying to

1273
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: trade back to maximize your value. Doesn't mean you'll be

1274
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,719
Speaker 1: able to do it, but that's when you would consider

1275
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: doing that. You know, the nice thing about the first

1276
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 1: round pick is you have that fifth year option. You know,

1277
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: it's that extra year to protect you. Gives you some

1278
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 1: time to get the player extended. But at the end

1279
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: of the day, if we'll just do kind of what

1280
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 1: makes sense and how the board falls, you know, each

1281
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: pick there's we're so far down there, there's there's gonna

1282
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 1: be a lot of unknowns, especially once the quarterbacks go,

1283
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: And that was actually going to be a I guess

1284
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: kind of sidebar question. Was is there a scenario in

1285
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 1: which you want to use that that first round to

1286
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: pick specifically to activate the fifth year option, or is

1287
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: it you know, not worth player, not worth picking a

1288
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: player that you're not necessarily comfortable within that range. Yeah,

1289
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: I think I would be. I would definitely take this pick.

1290
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: If there's a guy that we're excited about and we've

1291
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: got a good, you know, a solid first round right on,

1292
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's where I would be less likely to

1293
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: move back unless there's just a lot of guys still

1294
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 1: floating around at the you know, the bottom of one

1295
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: or the top of two on my board, where I go, Hey,

1296
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: I can go back to seven or eight spots and

1297
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 1: still get one of these other guys plus acquire you

1298
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 1: know whatever, an extra third or an extra fourth, whatever,

1299
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 1: how far the move would be. So um, we're very

1300
01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: comfortable staying at thirty and getting that fifth year. But again,

1301
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: we'll just kind of listen to the board and see

1302
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: what happens. God, I appreciate you. Brendan, you got himself.

1303
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: Sorry there a Brandon, what's up? So I don't that

1304
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: same old, same old um. I was going to ask

1305
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: you about running backs. You guys have spent a third

1306
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 1: round pick the last two years, and there's been a

1307
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: little bit of speculation in the draft community about you

1308
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 1: guys might think about that at number thirty. Do you

1309
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: think you guys have spent maybe enough draft capital at

1310
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: least that high in around on that particular position. I

1311
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 1: don't worry about that too much. I mean, we feel

1312
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: very comfortable with the guys we have, so I'm not

1313
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: going into this draft sal going man, We've got to

1314
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 1: find us a back here in the top, you know,

1315
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: a few rounds or anything like that. But there are

1316
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 1: some good players in here, and if he's the best

1317
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 1: guy on our board, we wouldn't hesitate to take him.

1318
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 1: If that answers that answer your question, yeah, I mean

1319
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about you know, people talk about

1320
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: first round running backs. You shouldn't do it, but at

1321
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 1: number thirty, maybe it's worth taking the swing. But again,

1322
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: what I was saying was, you've already spent two third

1323
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 1: round picks at that position, So is it too much

1324
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 1: of that particular position. That was what I was getting at. Yeah,

1325
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you want to what does his

1326
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,560
Speaker 1: skill set have in comparison to what we have on

1327
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: the roster? Is this player going to do something? You know,

1328
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of our backs are home

1329
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: run hitters? Is this so? Is there an elite treat

1330
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: that this guy has and says, man, he's got something

1331
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 1: we don't have. That's probably the conversation versus, Okay, are

1332
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: we going to take the same type of back as

1333
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Devon or are we going to take the same type

1334
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: of back as Zach Because even those two guys have

1335
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,440
Speaker 1: different skill sets. So I think those are the conversations

1336
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: you have. What does this player bring to you that

1337
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: you don't already have on the roster that you're going Man,

1338
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: if we add that to the group, that's going to

1339
01:14:55,960 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: help our overall offense. Thanks Brendon, you got it, Hey, Brandon,

1340
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking the time. You've mentioned a few of

1341
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: the weird parts about this draft, like you know, the scouting,

1342
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, in the opt outs. I'm curious I saw

1343
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 1: that there were significantly fewer players in the draft compared

1344
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 1: to the last two years. How have you seen that

1345
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: impact the class and has it helped you, I don't know,

1346
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: get a better feel for the players that are in

1347
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, I mean I think I think the draft,

1348
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: there's still a good amount of players, you know, you know,

1349
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: in the top seven rounds, similar to most years. I

1350
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: think it gets thin after that. You know a lot

1351
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: of these players that um got told by either agents

1352
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: or their coaches or whatever that hey, I don't know

1353
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get drafted. I think a lot of

1354
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: those guys took that extra that extra free year that

1355
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: the NCAA is allowing. So I think, you know, you're

1356
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: talking six seventh and priority free agents. It does get

1357
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: pretty thin because a lot of those guys went back

1358
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 1: instead of being forced to come out. So but overall,

1359
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty similar as far as the number of

1360
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: guys on our board this year to what we've had

1361
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 1: in years past. And how is the off season program

1362
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: started for you guys in terms of player attendants and participation.

1363
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: I know that's been kind of a an issue around

1364
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: the league where some players don't want to come back

1365
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: to the facility. What's what's been the communication so far

1366
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: for you guys on that front. Yeah, our guys, Uh,

1367
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, they they're still working through, you know how

1368
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: who's going to come in and win. And we do

1369
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 1: have some participation, obviously it's not like most years. And

1370
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 1: but you know, Sean and I've been in communication with them,

1371
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: with the at least the captains of the leaders, and uh,

1372
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: they've done a great job of communicating with the group

1373
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: and then kind of communicating back to us where their

1374
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: comfort level is on things. And and so that's all

1375
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: we can ask. You know, Sean and I are verry appreciative.

1376
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: These guys have done a great job of communicating with

1377
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: the group and then letting us know and and also

1378
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: allowing us to give them some insight into our thoughts

1379
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,560
Speaker 1: on things. And that's what you want, two way communication,

1380
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to do that as we navigate the

1381
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:25,599
Speaker 1: next nine weeks. Thanks Brandon, you got it. Hey Brandon,

1382
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: good to see you. I just wanted to I know

1383
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: you addressed the fifth year option with Josh and Tremaine

1384
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: off the top, but I think it's kind of worth

1385
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 1: a follow given some of the things you would indicated prior.

1386
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: So I guess my question on that is, are I

1387
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 1: know you're gonna we're gonna talk as far as contract

1388
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,560
Speaker 1: went after the draft into May with Josh, is that

1389
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: still on schedule and how would you weigh the chance

1390
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: of maybe doing something next years? I think you had

1391
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: indicated that on a podcast. Is everything still on schedule

1392
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: as far as Josh is concerning that long term deal? Yeah,

1393
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, Josh and I have spoken, and I've also

1394
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: had one conversation with one of his representatives that we're

1395
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: just going to get through the draft and then when

1396
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: we get to later spring, maybe summer, there's no rush,

1397
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: but we'll have some kind of conversation and listen, we

1398
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: would love to get Josh extended, no doubt, but it's

1399
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: got to be a number that works for him and

1400
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: works for us. And that's been my conversation with them,

1401
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: and they know the same, and we're all on the

1402
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: same page. Josh wants to be here, which that's the

1403
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: first thing. Does the player want to be here? Josh

1404
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 1: wants to be here. That gives me hope that we'll

1405
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:42,679
Speaker 1: get something done at some point. I can't guarantee it'll

1406
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: be this year. The good thing is we do have time.

1407
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: And I think I did say on that podcast we

1408
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: tried in Carolina to get Cam Newton done at this time,

1409
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: and it didn't work. We just we weren't on the

1410
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: same page with his agent on where the value is

1411
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: where to where they saw it. So we just said, hey,

1412
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: no hard feelings, we're all on the same page here,

1413
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: and we just pushed Pauls. He played that season, and

1414
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: then after that season we got it done pretty quick.

1415
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: That next offseason we were more on the same page.

1416
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 1: So I guess what I'm saying is, you can't force it.

1417
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: It happens when it's supposed to happen. And if it happens,

1418
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: you know this year, great. If it doesn't, you know,

1419
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: I'll be very positive that we'll get it done next year. Thanks.

1420
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 1: And just a quick follow if I could, to Matt's

1421
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: question that he had asked just prior. I know that

1422
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: the player vaccination A lot of this is out of

1423
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: your control. Obviously it involved negotiations with the PA and

1424
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: all that, But how much from an organizational standpoint, the

1425
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: whole player vaccination issue, and whether or not I meant

1426
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: Josh had kind of spoken to that as well, how

1427
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: much of a concern is that for you moving forward

1428
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: into this season? Yeah? I think you know what you

1429
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: know what Josh said was, you know, he still needed

1430
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: more education. I think a lot of the young people

1431
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: have they were so far down the line that they're

1432
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: just like, I'm not in line right now anyway unless

1433
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 1: you have a condition. And now all of a sudden,

1434
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: recently players, you know that the age of our players,

1435
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: they now have that choice. And so these guys are

1436
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: starting to research. I know the nflpa UM will be

1437
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,600
Speaker 1: feed of information. The league has sent us information that

1438
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: that we can share with them questions, concerns like everyone

1439
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: has about a new vaccine. So we will, you know,

1440
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: make sure we share that with our players this spring,

1441
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 1: and you know the pros and cons and and again

1442
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: it's a personal choice. It's it's not going to be

1443
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: anything that I'm aware of that would be mandated by

1444
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 1: them to do. But we'll obviously give them that education

1445
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: and they'll make the best decision for them. Thank you, Brandon,

1446
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: you got it so yes, Good afternoon, Brandon. George Radney

1447
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: challenge that community does. How you doing this afternoon? Good George,

1448
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: How you do pretty good? Pat That snow is still coming,

1449
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: But man, seemed like last time I talk to you,

1450
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 1: snow was in the forecast. But we just don't get

1451
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: away from it up here in Western New York. A

1452
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 1: little April curveball for is here. Absolutely. And my question

1453
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 1: is with the offseason program and the way that the

1454
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association is talking, now, do you do you

1455
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: most general managers do out the league when you guys

1456
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 1: have your meetings, do you see down the road that

1457
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: it might turn into virtual each year? And and then

1458
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: you just maybe the free agents guys who are up

1459
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: for free agency, they're the only ones that may be

1460
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: able to come into their different UH stadiums and so

1461
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 1: forth for physicals and so forth. When you looking at

1462
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: guys for free agency, do you think think this might

1463
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:45,600
Speaker 1: be a way a thing of the future, because the

1464
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: way the way the union's talking, it sounds like they

1465
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: want to make it go back to the way it

1466
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: used to be where the veteran players don't have to

1467
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: come in until May or June. Yeah, you know, I'd

1468
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: be surprised if it if it was I'm not saying

1469
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: something be altered, but you know last year's CBA that

1470
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,679
Speaker 1: was agreed upon, you know, you know that was part

1471
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: of the deal. The offseason program and the Phase one,

1472
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: Phase two, Phase three, So um, barring you know, the

1473
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: union probably giving him something back. I doubt you see

1474
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: it go away. Again, that's handled, you know, at a

1475
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: much higher level than I am. But um, you know,

1476
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: I know the players are pushing for some of that,

1477
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 1: But I think that would probably be a conversation more

1478
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: for the next CBA more than in this one. Okay,

1479
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 1: last question for you. With Josh Allen's deal, you wouldn't

1480
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: have to just come to an agreement on the deal

1481
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: until his fifth year, correct, and it wouldn't go into it.

1482
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 1: It wouldn't cost your team a salary cap hit or

1483
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 1: anything until what his sixth season. Is that how that

1484
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:49,640
Speaker 1: works where if you sign him now to a new

1485
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: expansion It depends on how we wrote it. So if

1486
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: we did a contract now, um, you know, it would

1487
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: just be how we structured it. We could we could

1488
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: structure it to where it does and it's probably gonna

1489
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: cost us a little bit on our cap. But um,

1490
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different ways we can structure it

1491
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: to where it doesn't, um, you know, greatly affect it.

1492
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 1: That'll be part of the negotiation. Is as much as

1493
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: the money, what's the structure because again, um, you know

1494
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: we've got to not only fit him in this year,

1495
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: but next year's cap is not going to increase a lot.

1496
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: So can we agree to what is what his numbers

1497
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: would be this year and then year two and then

1498
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: and then beyond and some of that's an unknown. You

1499
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 1: know where the CAP's going to be years three and beyond,

1500
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: so we'll have to do our calculations of where we

1501
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: see the cap going. I'm sure his his representatives will

1502
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: do the same. And that's where you got to make

1503
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: sure you're on If you're on the same page on that,

1504
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: it helps you get it done quicker. Sometimes you're feeling

1505
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 1: like the CAP's going to go up eight percent and

1506
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: they're hearing that it's going up fifteen percent. Well that's

1507
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: a that's a big difference, and they're pressing for more dollars,

1508
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,160
Speaker 1: and your worry will if I do that, I'm not

1509
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 1: gonna be able to sign any other players. I may

1510
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: even have to cut players. So that will all be

1511
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: part of the negotiation. Along with the money, will be

1512
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: the structure and how it's paid out. All right, thank

1513
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 1: you very much and good luck in next week's draft.

1514
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Thanks niceeing, George. Okay, Brandon, thanks for doing this last year.

1515
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: There were two obvious big nickel candidates, and Duger and

1516
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 1: Chin with obvious physical traits to what how would you

1517
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:31,759
Speaker 1: characterize the depth of candidates for a big nickel position.

1518
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot more smaller linebackers. But is the

1519
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: pool how would you characterize? Is there a lot, a little?

1520
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Is it really hard? Just a limited number of guys

1521
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 1: who really could start in that role? What do you

1522
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 1: think of that spot? Yeah, it's it's a hard spot

1523
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of mental that goes into the

1524
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: big nickel position, especially if they have another primary position.

1525
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't go into the draft going, hey,

1526
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 1: we don't have a column that says big nickel. You

1527
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean? We got a lineback you know,

1528
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,799
Speaker 1: most of those position comes out of linebackers or safeties.

1529
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 1: Um that you're going to fill that big nickel role.

1530
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: But it's just a part of the defense. It's not

1531
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 1: something that we're going, hey, let's go through our six

1532
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: big nickels here like we would our outside linebackers or

1533
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,679
Speaker 1: our safeties. So there are some guys at each position

1534
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 1: that that you could say, hey, this guy has you know,

1535
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: the size, the speed, and we believe the smarts to

1536
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: handle position a as a linebacker or position as a safety,

1537
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: and also handle the volume of the big nickel. But it's, um,

1538
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot was put into that

1539
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: last year, more than than was reality of us looking

1540
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: for this. You know, this unicorn of a big nickel

1541
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: out there. Um, you know, it's one of those if

1542
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: you have the player on there, the coaches will use it,

1543
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: but it's not something that we gotta have for this defense.

1544
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: I guess that's what he's saying. Great, and then real quickly,

1545
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney is he um physically gonna be good to go? Yes,

1546
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: he's trending. He's passed his cardiologist visit, so he is.

1547
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: He's here, he's working out, he's doing his thing, and um,

1548
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: I think he still has a couple of follow up visits. Um,

1549
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 1: but hopefully those will go well. He we anticipated having

1550
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 1: him this year. Full go right, Thanks Brandon bean Aka

1551
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 1: to Burglar around this time, LUKIEHK as well for Sports

1552
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: Tenadi's going, sir, let's up, Muki. Appreciate the intro. Man

1553
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: I gotta get you all the time. Man. Yeah, last

1554
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: year around this time, we spoke about getting those impact

1555
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: players in those invitator rounds, those four, fifth and six rounds.

1556
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,839
Speaker 1: Last year, you did an awesome job with with Gabe

1557
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: and and Frum and Bass and and and and Hoskins

1558
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: without having that fourth round pick to start to beat

1559
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: in Potato roads. How much strain is that putting on

1560
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 1: your draft board right now? Well, you know, I wish

1561
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 1: I had it, but I like what I got for

1562
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: giving it up, So I have to remember that. The

1563
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 1: other part of it is we do have the extra fifth,

1564
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: So if the one thing we could do is listen,

1565
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: if there's a guy in four that we're really excited about,

1566
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 1: we could use that extra fifth and move up. So

1567
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 1: it's just it's just how you do it. Like I

1568
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 1: said earlier, Who knows, maybe there's a scenario where somebody

1569
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: wants to come up and around and we don't. We

1570
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 1: don't want that pick. We'd rather move back and we

1571
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 1: pick up a fourth or even an extra five, which

1572
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,280
Speaker 1: used one five to get into the fourth, and then

1573
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 1: you still got a five. So we'll see how the

1574
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 1: draft plays. But I'm not too worried about it. Yes, sir,

1575
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: and I had the great opportunity to speak with all

1576
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: these college prospects once again, and I get a different vibe.

1577
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 1: Now once I mentioned, you know, have the Bill has

1578
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 1: been in contact with you. Now you have the opportunity

1579
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 1: to speak with these college prospects as well. Has there

1580
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 1: been a you know, kind of like a different vibe

1581
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:04,600
Speaker 1: from last year to this year with the success you

1582
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 1: had in the off season with these college prospects. Yeah,

1583
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: I think the guys are you know, we were on

1584
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: national TV more so people kind of know. I don't

1585
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: even think some of these players knew where Buffalo was before,

1586
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 1: so we're I think we're moving in the right direction.

1587
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: But now it's it's been it's been a lot of

1588
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: great young men that we you know, Unfortunately we hadn't

1589
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: got to bring him to Buffalo like we used to

1590
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: with the thirty visits and things like that. But I

1591
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 1: think whoever we get, we'll be excited to join our team.

1592
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: All right, that's Bills GM Brandon Bean with his Q

1593
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,839
Speaker 1: and A with the media for his pre draft press conference,

1594
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,560
Speaker 1: does it every year. Steve and I will be discussing

1595
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 1: some of the highlights of some of his comments when

1596
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: we return. We want to thank those of you watching

1597

Speaker 1: and I are here every day Monday to Friday, noon

1600
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 1: to three on w GR and MSG will be back

1601
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: in a moment after these words. FuG of Actor one

1602
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 1: builds Live Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you now on

1603
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 1: the heels of the pre draft Q and a press

1604
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:27,040
Speaker 1: conference by GM Brandon Bean with the media and some

1605
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:31,599
Speaker 1: interesting responses from mister Bean. As usually is the case,

1606
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: I have to say I am very appreciative of how

1607
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:43,160
Speaker 1: forthcoming Brandon is. Naturally, there are a lot of things

1608
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 1: he has to keep close to the vest and not

1609
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: reveal so as not to tip their hand as a

1610
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 1: club going into the draft to the other thirty one clubs.

1611
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 1: But I think Brandon is probably one of the better

1612
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 1: gms at giving as comprehensive a response as he can

1613
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: or an answer to a question that is posed to him,

1614
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 1: and just being a medium member for as long as

1615
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 1: I have, I have a genuine appreciation for the thought

1616
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 1: that he puts into the answers that he gives. I'm

1617
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: just gonna say that first off. Second, the biggest takeaway

1618
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,760
Speaker 1: I am I am pulling from this press conference Steve

1619
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:24,559
Speaker 1: is the following with no NFL Combine. The biggest loss

1620
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 1: for every one of the thirty two clubs going into

1621
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:33,840
Speaker 1: this draft is the medical report uncertainty that exists for

1622
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 1: a number of players, even this late in the game,

1623
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 1: here in late April. Because the number the amount of

1624
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 1: legwork that these scouting departments have had to do this year,

1625
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:46,560
Speaker 1: as opposed to even last year when they had a

1626
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:49,719
Speaker 1: combine and they had medical exams for three hundred guys.

1627
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys with bloodshot eyes and not

1628
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: a lot of sleep. For all the medical groundwork that

1629
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:58,720
Speaker 1: you can cover, you can appreciate why the medical is

1630
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 1: so important to a game like football and foot because

1631
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 1: it's one thing to draft a guy who can really

1632
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 1: play and it just doesn't work out, and you know,

1633
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 1: you trade him or whatever, but you try and you

1634
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: try and develop him or whatever. But a guy who

1635
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 1: comes in gets hurt and is on the sidelines, I mean,

1636
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 1: you're just throwing It's it's like flushing money down the toilet.

1637
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,719
Speaker 1: It's not only does he not give anything football wise

1638
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 1: because he's hurt or he can who could have never

1639
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: he could never play beat. You're paying his salary and

1640
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: you're paying his medical bills and you didn't get anything

1641
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,599
Speaker 1: for the draft pick. It's like a lose lose, lose,

1642
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: and there's just it is a crusher. You don't want

1643
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 1: to go there. These draft picks are too valuable, even

1644
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:40,400
Speaker 1: the seventh rounders. I mean, they're just too valuable to

1645
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,679
Speaker 1: cough up for a guy that could never play because

1646
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: he's not healthy enough to get there. And I'll give

1647
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:49,479
Speaker 1: you a perfect example. So in April, they did set up,

1648
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 1: as Brandon said, forty players in this draft pool to

1649
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: go to Indie for the medical recheck. Even in a

1650
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:57,960
Speaker 1: regular year when they have a combine and the three

1651
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 1: hundred players that go to the combine are even a

1652
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 1: full medical work up, there are forty or fifty that

1653
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 1: usually have to go back in April, either because they're

1654
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 1: still rehabbing from a surgery after their college playing days

1655
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 1: were over, or you know, they tweaked something or had

1656
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: an injury, couldn't compete at the combine, did it the

1657
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 1: pro day. Now go back for a medical recheck. So

1658
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams have that information. So they had

1659
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,400
Speaker 1: forty players set to go back to the medical recheck

1660
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 1: in Indy this month. Earlier this month, there's one guy

1661
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 1: that could I know there's one guy for sure that

1662
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 1: couldn't go because he was a COVID risk. Was Jalen Phillips,

1663
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:35,759
Speaker 1: the guy of the three concussions, who quit football because

1664
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: he had three concussions in such rapid succession, then came

1665
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 1: back to football last year and lit the world on

1666
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 1: fire at Miami last year. There are going to be

1667
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: a good number of players that these teams are going

1668
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 1: to be uneasy about drafting, certainly in the first round,

1669
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 1: because of the magnitude and the value of those picks.

1670
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 1: And you heard Brandon say it when he was asked

1671
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:01,040
Speaker 1: about Day two picks. He said, generally, you're more conservative

1672
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,639
Speaker 1: and go with more of the sure thing than taking

1673
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:05,639
Speaker 1: a risk. You do that more in the later rounds.

1674
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: As a rule, you want to talk about conservative drafting, Steve,

1675
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: we may never see anything like it as we'll see

1676
01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: this year because of the medical missing pieces and the

1677
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 1: fact that you've got players you don't have tape on

1678
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 1: since they're freshman years, they're twenty eighteen season, and now

1679
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 1: they're a junior. They're coming out and you're gauging them

1680
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:30,559
Speaker 1: off when they were nineteen years old. You think you're

1681
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna move those guys down your board because of the uncertainty. Right,

1682
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 1: you got guys that played in twenty eighteen and they're like, hey,

1683
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:38,439
Speaker 1: pretty good player. And then he comes back in two

1684
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:40,840
Speaker 1: nineteen and early in the season gets hurt, doesn't play

1685
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:42,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, comes back, it's got an injury,

1686
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:45,960
Speaker 1: opts out of the twenty twenty season. So you've got

1687
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 1: the last full season you've got on him is twenty eighteen.

1688
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 1: And it's like it's a different human being. I mean,

1689
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:53,879
Speaker 1: think about these guys, some of these guys going to college,

1690
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:59,400
Speaker 1: and I mean it's a rarity, but they're completely different guys.

1691
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 1: That's why college coaches are up against it. They start

1692
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 1: recruiting these guys as juniors in high school, when they're seventeen,

1693
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 1: he's sixteen years old. They start looking at these guys,

1694
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 1: and by the time they get to college, the red

1695
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,639
Speaker 1: shirt freshman, they play four years of college, they're twenty two,

1696
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 1: twenty three. You gotta and you gotta project that when

1697
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 1: you know almost a you know, six years before, you're

1698
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 1: trying to recruit the kid as what he's gonna be

1699
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: when you actually get him on the field, or in

1700
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 1: some cases, it's really hard to do, and so now

1701
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 1: you're trying to do that at the professional level. Where

1702
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:38,720
Speaker 1: a guy comes in, he's playing really well as a sophomore,

1703
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:41,320
Speaker 1: and then he goes through these last two years we

1704
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 1: just had, like nineteen, he he doesn't play because way

1705
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 1: maybe he's your red shirt, I don't know. And then

1706
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 1: he comes back twenty twenty, he's gonna play and he

1707
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:55,040
Speaker 1: opts out. Like I said yesterday, some of these guys

1708
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 1: have not had football helmets and pads on for eighteen months.

1709
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:04,680
Speaker 1: That's you're you're gonna hand that guy a check for

1710
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:10,600
Speaker 1: seven figures, man, I don't know. The other news that

1711
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,639
Speaker 1: came out of the press conference was Brandon being basically said,

1712
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 1: as for the fifth year options for both Tremaine Endmonds

1713
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen, those will be handled post draft. Steve,

1714
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: the deadline for fifty year options and exercising them is

1715
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 1: May third. That's the Monday after the draft is over.

1716
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 1: Draft ends May first, May third. You gotta have a

1717
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: decision now. It was interesting that he said the salary

1718
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:40,559
Speaker 1: commitments are significant, and as we've mentioned on this show before,

1719
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: because both Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmonds have made a

1720
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl in one of their first three years, they're

1721
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: automatically going to get the transition tag figure for their

1722
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 1: position on a fifty year option contract, and it is guaranteed.

1723
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: It's no longer just guaranteed for injury. It is garanteed.

1724
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 1: And so the sum total of those two is thirty

1725
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:10,679
Speaker 1: five million dollars for two players. Yes, it's twenty three

1726
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:16,200
Speaker 1: un change for Josh Allen at quarterback and thirteen change

1727
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 1: for Tremaine Edmonds. And the thing is they'll, I mean

1728
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna pick up both options. I mean, there's that's

1729
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 1: a fatal complete. There's just no way they can't. The

1730
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:28,759
Speaker 1: question is which one are they gonna They gotta extend

1731
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 1: one of them, because if they get and started on

1732
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,720
Speaker 1: an extension, then the the affordability of the other one

1733
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 1: and the way they fitted into the cap can be more. Yeah,

1734
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: they can tear up the fifty or option and live

1735
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:43,120
Speaker 1: under the extension, right, live under the extension. And so

1736
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 1: both those guys are gonna get extended, but how they

1737
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 1: do it, and they want to push it off until

1738
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 1: they can find out what they're actually going to have

1739
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:54,280
Speaker 1: to spend. Nobody knows what the twenty twenty two cap

1740
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 1: is gonna gonna be it'll be higher than this year.

1741
01:36:56,400 --> 01:37:00,800
Speaker 1: But how high? Yeah, that's the question we have to

1742
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we'll discuss Brandon Bean's

1743
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: discussion about the pick at thirty and just how much

1744
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: he thinks his phone might be ringing for that pick

1745
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: at thirty. We'll get to that when we return Here

1746
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:16,799
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live presented by Kalaida Health, It's Buffalo

1747
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. At a Steve Tasker who has been all

1748
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 1: over her fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of

1749
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 1: a dual role player for you. Steve, Steve a blimp.

1750
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 1: We're not even in the stratoere of normalcy. Welcome back

1751
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: our number three of the program. Here on a Tuesday,

1752
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you on the heels of

1753
01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: the Brandon Bean pre draft press conference, where Brandon had

1754
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: a number of things to say about their plans going

1755
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:09,799
Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty one draft, including what could happen

1756
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:15,120
Speaker 1: at pick thirty one. Stephen A Tasker, They basically left

1757
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 1: it all open. All options are there. He did say

1758
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 1: they're thinking more long term than short term, and to me,

1759
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:25,600
Speaker 1: which is an incredible statement when you think about that,

1760
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: because it gives them the option to say, listen, we

1761
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 1: can pick a guy now and he's gonna be good,

1762
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be a pro for a long time.

1763
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:32,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna play great for us. Or it could be

1764
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a flyer because this guy, if we

1765
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: can develop him, give him a year on the practice squad,

1766
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 1: and he's gonna come in and he's gonna be the

1767
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 1: guy or a backup, right. Or it could be we're

1768
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: gonna bring this guy and I don't think he can

1769
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,640
Speaker 1: play for us as a rookie offensive lineman, but this

1770
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be an offensive lineman the league forever, and

1771
01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:52,719
Speaker 1: then we're gonna do that. Or it means we're gonna

1772
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:54,720
Speaker 1: trade out of that spot. Right, we're gonna go, We're

1773
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna push the picks. We're gonna pick up some picks

1774
01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:59,560
Speaker 1: next year. I mean, it doesn't say anything except that

1775
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: they're not looking for me. In my opinion, the only

1776
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 1: thing that takes off the table is the fact that

1777
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: they expect this guy to come in and step onto

1778
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:09,400
Speaker 1: the field at some point and start for him, which

1779
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 1: is now the question. But it's a hard that's a

1780
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:13,960
Speaker 1: hard thing. If they do do that, If they get

1781
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: a guy and all of a sudden, this guy's like, yeah,

1782
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:17,759
Speaker 1: where he's gonna come in and start force at some spot.

1783
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,080
Speaker 1: It's because he fell and they say somebody slipped. With

1784
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:22,720
Speaker 1: somebody slip, we didn't know this guy was going to

1785
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 1: be there. Here he is, and that is going to

1786
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 1: be a big question that's going to face the Bills

1787
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 1: and the other teams picking at the bottom of round one,

1788
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,600
Speaker 1: because based on the tenor that Brandon being struck in

1789
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: his press conference today, it is evident to me that

1790
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 1: the medical concerns on certain prospects, particularly at the top

1791
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 1: of the draft, is going to convince some gms. Hey man,

1792
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm picking at fourteen here. I love this guy, but

1793
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 1: the lack of crossing the t's and dotting the eyes

1794
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,360
Speaker 1: on the medical scares me to death. I'm not taking

1795
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 1: this guy at fourteen. And so now what you could

1796
01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:07,839
Speaker 1: conceivably have, Steve, is two maybe three players with medical

1797
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: concerns who slide down to the bottom around one. And

1798
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:16,760
Speaker 1: now it's such an extraordinary value that may be a

1799
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 1: team like the Bills or you know, Kansas City or

1800
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,600
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay says all right, you know we're still in

1801
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:27,600
Speaker 1: round one here, we're picking at the bottom. But this

1802
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:30,000
Speaker 1: kid should have been off the board at ten and

1803
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:33,760
Speaker 1: he's still there. We can't not take him here. It's

1804
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 1: worth the risk. Yeah, the change comes from this. If

1805
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: you if you whiff completely with on a top ten

1806
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 1: because of a medical, guys lose their jobs. Yeah, if

1807
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,679
Speaker 1: you whiff on a guy at thirty, it's like, yeah,

1808
01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's not as catastrophe, not as catastrophe. So

1809
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 1: you wonder which way they go. I'm inclined to believe

1810
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 1: that everybody's gonna play it safe in round one. Quite frankly,

1811
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:01,639
Speaker 1: I think most to these you'll have a few rogue

1812
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 1: gms that aren't afraid to swing for the fences on

1813
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:07,880
Speaker 1: a boom er bus guy based on medical. But the

1814
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: fastest thing that makes a team back off a highly

1815
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: touted player is medical. And when you don't have all

1816
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 1: of the medical pages in the guy's file because of

1817
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:24,879
Speaker 1: access issues, which they've experienced. Thirty two teams have experienced

1818
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 1: this problem and do an awful lot of legwork to

1819
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 1: try to get it confirmed and corroborated. And this guy's okay, okay,

1820
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 1: he checks out. He should be able to play in

1821
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,280
Speaker 1: the league for eight ten years, no problem. You know,

1822
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: it causes consternation, and it sends teams in other directions

1823
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 1: and looking at other players. Here's what happens. Teams will say, listen,

1824
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 1: we don't know about this kid. Can we send our

1825
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 1: doctors to look at your kid? And the agent says no,

1826
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 1: well why not? Well in Brandon also said that they've

1827
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:59,879
Speaker 1: had to send They've had to call out to colleges

1828
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: and say, can we get his medical files from you?

1829
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:04,720
Speaker 1: Because we can't get him from the league because they

1830
01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 1: don't have anything. So they had to do jump through

1831
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: hoops to get if they've got a kid who if

1832
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:12,760
Speaker 1: And we're not talking about that many guys. I mean

1833
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are you know, they've got

1834
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 1: medical they're all set, they're fine, But there is a

1835
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:20,240
Speaker 1: group because it's a hard game. Then all these guys

1836
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:25,640
Speaker 1: got nicks and cuts from the sport they play. But

1837
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:28,160
Speaker 1: if you've got a guy that you're you don't know

1838
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: about and you can't find out about the intent to

1839
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 1: go up, and everybody gets cautious because if the kids

1840
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: not forth coming in with way he feels and certainly

1841
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 1: his agent can say nonah, my guys, one hundred percent,

1842
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 1: Now that you know those six concussions he got in

1843
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:46,599
Speaker 1: two week period. They're nothing. You know, you don't want

1844
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 1: to hear it. You want to see it. You want

1845
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 1: your doctors to go in there and get their hands

1846
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,639
Speaker 1: on the guy and shine the light in his eyes,

1847
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 1: show the X rays, show the MRIs, do all the

1848
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:01,280
Speaker 1: tests you can possibly do and find out and if

1849
01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: you can't do that and the reason is iffy, that's

1850
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:08,679
Speaker 1: a problem. That's a real problem. And there are guys

1851
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 1: like that every year. Our intern, Dante Lasting for Buffalo

1852
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com, was able to ask a question for

1853
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 1: us in the press conference, which was, how much do

1854
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,639
Speaker 1: you think your phone is going to ring at pick

1855
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:21,719
Speaker 1: thirty for teams trying to get up into the bottom

1856
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 1: of the round from round two? And how much has

1857
01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:27,840
Speaker 1: that impacted by the lure of having a fifth year

1858
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 1: option on a player. It's a controlled cost mechanism to

1859
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:35,040
Speaker 1: have a first round quality player for an extra year

1860
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:39,160
Speaker 1: at a controlled cost, sometimes more cost than other positions,

1861
01:43:39,560 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 1: but still in all it's an incentive. And I looked

1862
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:45,959
Speaker 1: it up over the last three years, Steve on average

1863
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 1: from pick twenty to thirty two on average the last

1864
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 1: three years, four trades in that area in that rain

1865
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:57,519
Speaker 1: every year. That's a business decision, and it's right. It's

1866
01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,439
Speaker 1: not so much about a talent decision. It's about a

1867
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 1: financial decision. It's about getting a guy and locked up

1868
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 1: for an extra year to look at him. The guy

1869
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 1: has to be there on your board, though, he's to

1870
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 1: have that low first round grade to warrant the move. Yeah,

1871
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,600
Speaker 1: and there's guys like that every year. For obviously, with

1872
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 1: thirty two teams and a you know, seven hundred guys

1873
01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: names on the board for these teams, there's gonna be

1874
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: some guys are like, wow, I can't this guy's pretty close.

1875
01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 1: We might like that guy, So what's it gonna take

1876
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:27,799
Speaker 1: to get him. Well, we can get him. He maybe

1877
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:30,839
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be there at whatever our pick is, probably,

1878
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:33,840
Speaker 1: but if we really want him and we want him

1879
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 1: for five years instead of four, here's what we gotta

1880
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 1: give him. They said, let's do it. We know that

1881
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: guy can play for us, at least for a while.

1882
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 1: The other reason I think teams are going to be

1883
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 1: conservative this year is because of the opt outs and

1884
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 1: guys that haven't played, and over a calendar year, the

1885
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 1: projection on a player becomes that much more difficult. Even

1886
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:58,960
Speaker 1: in a normal year, you're projecting on a lot of

1887
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,080
Speaker 1: these players as to what they can be at the

1888
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:06,679
Speaker 1: NFL level, and now you have essentially pulled a portion

1889
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: of that guy's career out of the equation. It doesn't

1890
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 1: exist anywhere. It's been wiped off the map because the

1891
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:16,880
Speaker 1: player either opted out or missed the year because the injury, whatever.

1892
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: And now you're forced to project off a smaller body

1893
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 1: of work of a player at a younger age hasn't

1894
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 1: matured into his full adult frame at age twenty one

1895
01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 1: twenty two, typically because they opted out this year. And

1896
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 1: now you've got to say, I believe this guy can

1897
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 1: be this with far lesser evidence than you've ever had before.

1898
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 1: That is not fun. Health and tangible measurements are gold

1899
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 1: this year. They're the only things you can count on

1900
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: the health of the guy and the measurements for some

1901
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: of these guys. Some of these guys have some film

1902
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: and then you've seen him and you've got you've got

1903
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:57,639
Speaker 1: pretty much a lot of evaluation. But the simple fact

1904
01:45:57,640 --> 01:46:00,160
Speaker 1: of the matter is if you're accurate on you know

1905
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: what they are, and unfortunately for them, you know what

1906
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 1: they're not. So if they're not a second round pick,

1907
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:06,680
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get taken. Then, if they're not a

1908
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:08,960
Speaker 1: third round pick, they're not gonna taken. Then certainly, if

1909
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:10,720
Speaker 1: they're not a first round pick, you're not gonna jump

1910
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:13,599
Speaker 1: up and get him. They're gonna they are what they are,

1911
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: just because you know. It doesn't mean you're going to

1912
01:46:16,320 --> 01:46:18,880
Speaker 1: elevate them, but it does mean if there's a guy

1913
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 1: kind of in that range that you don't know about

1914
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the time, coaches will always take

1915
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:29,679
Speaker 1: what they know over what might be one hundred percent

1916
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 1: of the time. Yeah, coaches like people, they can trust players,

1917
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 1: they like predictability. They're like, yes, they like they like

1918
01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:41,880
Speaker 1: what they know, and that's what's going to take the day.

1919
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,840
Speaker 1: But to sum up Brandon Bean's comments on his pick

1920
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:47,439
Speaker 1: at thirty, he said he would be surprised if they

1921
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 1: don't get some phone calls for their pick at thirty

1922
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:52,720
Speaker 1: from teams looking to move up from the top of

1923
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:56,880
Speaker 1: round two. Whether they move, he said, will be based

1924
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,280
Speaker 1: on how they see the board at that time and

1925
01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: if it makes sense for them. So he gave two scenarios.

1926
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:07,639
Speaker 1: Let's just say, hypothetically, the Bills have first round grades

1927
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 1: on twenty four players in this year's draft. They get

1928
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:12,759
Speaker 1: to pick thirty and they're all wiped off the board,

1929
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 1: and they don't even have guys at the tippy top

1930
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 1: of round two on their board for grades. They're going

1931
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,320
Speaker 1: to be inclined to move back because there's nothing to

1932
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,760
Speaker 1: be lost there based on what the value on their

1933
01:47:25,800 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 1: board says. Now, if they're on the clock, if they're

1934
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,400
Speaker 1: like three picks away from being on the clock and

1935
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:34,040
Speaker 1: there's still six guys with first round grades left on

1936
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:37,280
Speaker 1: their board, they're not going anywhere. They're staying right there,

1937
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: exactly exactly so. And that's why picking at thirty is

1938
01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 1: so unique and so much as he can't predict anything.

1939
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 1: There's a million moving parts and you don't know how

1940
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 1: they're going to move until they fall all the way

1941
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:56,960
Speaker 1: to you. And then the running back conversation came up again,

1942
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:01,880
Speaker 1: and Brandon being left the door open, he said, we

1943
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:04,680
Speaker 1: feel very comfortable with the running backs we have, so

1944
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going into the draft thinking we need to

1945
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 1: get one early in the draft. But if we have

1946
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: a highly graded guy, we'd take him. He did follow

1947
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 1: that up by saying that player would have to offer

1948
01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:19,879
Speaker 1: something different to the kinds of running backs we already

1949
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: have and he used the example of home run ability.

1950
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 1: So naturally, what is that triggered on social media? Gifts

1951
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:35,080
Speaker 1: upon gifts from Bills fans of Traviss. We have to

1952
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:38,000
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we return we talk more

1953
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:42,360
Speaker 1: draft with Yahoo Sports NFL draft analyst Eric Edholm. He

1954

Speaker 1: who has been hard at work on his one hundred

1960
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:18,680
Speaker 1: top one hundred prospects in this year's draft, kind of

1961
01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:24,360
Speaker 1: trickling out one by one or sometimes in groups. But Eric,

1962
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 1: how far are you at one hundred yet? How close

1963
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 1: are you gonna make it? Before the draft? Here? Is

1964
01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:30,880
Speaker 1: this turned into a race of sports? Or Yeah, you

1965
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:34,200
Speaker 1: sound like my editor a little bit concerned about the clock.

1966
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:37,599
Speaker 1: Here we're in the fourth quarter, down two scores. I'm

1967
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:43,680
Speaker 1: at number twelve. Now I'm counting down from one hundred. Okay, gott,

1968
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 1: yeah you got. I'm not worried about it. The one

1969
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 1: I found interesting was the USC offensive lineman Elijah Vera Tucker. There. Obviously,

1970
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 1: he's played, he played guard earlier in his college career,

1971
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:59,000
Speaker 1: played left tackle for them last season, and then he

1972
01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:02,160
Speaker 1: measures with thirty two I think in an eighth inch arms,

1973
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 1: and the scouting community goes, oh my god, he can't

1974
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:07,040
Speaker 1: play tackle with thirty two and an eighth inch arms.

1975
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 1: They're too short. He looked pretty damn good at tackle

1976
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:16,200
Speaker 1: last year for them. Where do you come down on him? Yeah?

1977
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:18,880
Speaker 1: Now I agree with you. And the thing is the

1978
01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 1: Oregon tape. His last game was against Cavon Thibodeau. If

1979
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:25,280
Speaker 1: you guys are kind enough to have me on a

1980
01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:27,080
Speaker 1: year from now, we'll be talking about him as a

1981
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 1: top five pick. That was really the only guy that

1982
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:32,560
Speaker 1: I saw who stressed him because of his length and

1983
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:36,759
Speaker 1: his athleticism, and you know the type of NFL rusher

1984
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,799
Speaker 1: you know that you do see with those guys. But overall,

1985
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 1: a really impressive player who, like you said, play guard

1986
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:46,320
Speaker 1: switched to tackle. And it was only six games last year,

1987
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:48,000
Speaker 1: but I thought put out some really good tape and

1988
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:51,080
Speaker 1: at least deserves a shot to play there as you

1989
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:53,679
Speaker 1: guys show him here playing a lot inside, He's gonna

1990
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 1: be an easy guard evaluation. But I hope some team

1991
01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:57,920
Speaker 1: will at least give him the chance to play tackle.

1992
01:50:57,960 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 1: I think he can do both. Yeah, and as you

1993
01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 1: can down these top hundred players, how many of your

1994
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 1: top one hundred or r qbs, because you know they're

1995
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna go at the top of the draving, how many

1996
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 1: deserve to be in the top of the draft. How

1997
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 1: many you're gonna go in the first round. I mean

1998
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:16,720
Speaker 1: that's a big question. Yeah, five seems like the most

1999
01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 1: logical answer. And we could get five in the top

2000
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, nine or ten picks, which would which would

2001
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:23,360
Speaker 1: set a record for that many at that part of

2002
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 1: the draft. But the question is where does that number

2003
01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 1: six quarterback go? And a lot of people think it's

2004
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:32,400
Speaker 1: Davis Mills from Stanford eleven college starts over two years,

2005
01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 1: had some injuries, couldn't beat out kJ Costello, but was

2006
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 1: once ahead of two a Tonga volo in high school

2007
01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:40,720
Speaker 1: as a recruit. He's got a lot of talent, just

2008
01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:43,880
Speaker 1: wasn't able to always showcase it. So, you know, does

2009
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:45,760
Speaker 1: a team at the end of round one say, hey,

2010
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:48,360
Speaker 1: we really want the fifth year option and we're going

2011
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:50,080
Speaker 1: to take him there, even if he's more like a

2012
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:53,479
Speaker 1: second or a third round prospect, It's possible. You know,

2013
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 1: I put him in my last make at twenty eight

2014
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:57,519
Speaker 1: to the Saints and thought, you know, it wouldn't be

2015
01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 1: the most inconceivable thing ever, But more likely you're going

2016
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:04,640
Speaker 1: to see guys like Kellen Mond, Davis Mills, you know,

2017
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:09,400
Speaker 1: a Kyle Trask from Florida, and possibly one more fit

2018
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 1: into that top one hunter range, even if you know,

2019
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:14,920
Speaker 1: we tend to reach for quarterbacks in this league. So, Eric,

2020
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:18,839
Speaker 1: we just finished the Brandon Bean pre draft press conference,

2021
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,639
Speaker 1: and among the more interesting things that he explained about

2022
01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:26,519
Speaker 1: how this year is different not having a combine, because

2023
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:28,560
Speaker 1: even in the pandemic year last year leading up to

2024
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:31,880
Speaker 1: the draft, there was a combine. He said, the lack

2025
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:36,800
Speaker 1: of concrete and definitive medicals is nowhere near where it

2026
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 1: is in normal years. I believe that's going to force

2027
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:44,200
Speaker 1: gms in this league, especially in Round one, to go

2028
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 1: even more conservative than they might usually be in terms

2029
01:52:48,080 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 1: of selecting players. With that in mind, how far do

2030
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:56,760
Speaker 1: you think a player as talented as Jalen Phillips might

2031
01:52:56,880 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: slide with the concussion history. Yeah, the injuries are concerning.

2032
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 1: He also had a risk injury to in there too.

2033
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 1: You know, there's some character stuff that needs to be

2034
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of checked on with him back to his UCLA days,

2035
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 1: But the way he played down the stretch the last

2036
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:13,560
Speaker 1: six seven games last season, he might have been the

2037
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 1: best edge player in the country. I mean, just look

2038
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:18,880
Speaker 1: at the dimensions, you look at the speed around the edge.

2039
01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:21,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people feel like he has matured. You know,

2040
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:23,680
Speaker 1: they didn't have Greg rus So last year, and it

2041
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 1: didn't matter because Jaleen Phillips really picked up the slack

2042
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: and I thought played great. So you know, it's it's

2043
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 1: like the question with all the edge players in this group.

2044
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:34,680
Speaker 1: There is no Chase Young, there's no Nick Bosa, but

2045
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 1: you have some players like like Phillips, like Jason Oway

2046
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:40,920
Speaker 1: from Penn State, who three years from now we may

2047
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,960
Speaker 1: consider them in that same sort of category as a

2048
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 1: top tier player. I really like phillips game, and if

2049
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:52,160
Speaker 1: those medical questions that are so difficult answer can be addressed,

2050
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, then I think a team would feel pretty

2051
01:53:55,280 --> 01:53:57,160
Speaker 1: good about him in the first twenty five picks or so.

2052
01:53:57,360 --> 01:54:00,240
Speaker 1: But I think I think Brandon Bean's right this This

2053
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:04,120
Speaker 1: year's medical situation has been very difficult for some teams

2054
01:54:04,160 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 1: to navigate. And what about the medicals on a guy

2055
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 1: like the corner who's had back surgery, Cab Farley, guys

2056
01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:14,560
Speaker 1: like that who really do have some legit concerns, just

2057
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 1: like just like Jaalen Phillips does. But what about a

2058
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 1: guy who's gone under the knife minor surgeries, Okay, but

2059
01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:28,479
Speaker 1: still a guy who's got top flight, elite skills. How

2060
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:32,520
Speaker 1: much is that going to hurt him? Yeah, extensive medical history.

2061
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:35,200
Speaker 1: He suffered torn acl when he was a red shirt freshman,

2062
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:38,120
Speaker 1: was actually playing wide receiver at the time they switched

2063
01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:40,360
Speaker 1: him over to cornerback. Had a great year in two

2064
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 1: thousand and they are strong year in eighteen, great year

2065
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 1: in two nineteen. Opted out. He actually lost his mother

2066
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 1: to cancer, and his opt out reason was, boy, I

2067
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 1: cannot lose another parent. Everybody in the NFL seems to

2068
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:56,640
Speaker 1: understand and that you know, understood that certainly. But the

2069
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:59,440
Speaker 1: medical questions, the fact that he played through pain most

2070
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: of the tooth the nineteenth season, had the procedure the

2071
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:05,120
Speaker 1: microdissect to me at the end of that year, and

2072
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:08,080
Speaker 1: then following an opt out year, had to have it again.

2073
01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, I had some teams kind of raised some concerns.

2074
01:55:10,840 --> 01:55:14,200
Speaker 1: What was he doing heavy weightlifting was what caused that

2075
01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 1: pain to return after a year of not playing football.

2076
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 1: So there is some real worry about him talent wise.

2077
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, he probably wouldn't have come close to where

2078
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo was picking had there not been this concern. But

2079
01:55:26,440 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 1: now three sort of separate incidents, two very much related.

2080
01:55:31,400 --> 01:55:33,520
Speaker 1: You really do have to wonder how far he'll slide,

2081
01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 1: will he go out of the first round. Again, that's

2082
01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: based on a lot of sort of uncertain medical evaluations

2083
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:42,800
Speaker 1: going on right now. Another comment that Brandon me and

2084
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 1: made that I thought was kind of interesting with respect

2085
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:47,800
Speaker 1: to their pick at thirty was he said, look, we're

2086
01:55:47,880 --> 01:55:52,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily dead set on getting a player that is

2087
01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:54,200
Speaker 1: going to start for us right away, because it's going

2088
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: to depend on what position we select. You know, if

2089
01:55:57,920 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 1: you have three or four veterans at that position, to

2090
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:03,080
Speaker 1: kid's not going to start unless he's an all world talent,

2091
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:07,640
Speaker 1: and usually don't get that at thirty. So that's what

2092
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 1: kind of piques my interest. With your choice of Jason

2093
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,440
Speaker 1: Owa from Penn State and your latest mock for the

2094
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:15,520
Speaker 1: Bills at thirty, I mean, this is a guy whose

2095
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 1: game admittedly needs some refinement. I mean he's you know,

2096
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:23,120
Speaker 1: as we know, no sacks last year, and it doesn't

2097
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:27,200
Speaker 1: look like his pass rushing has a plan all the time.

2098
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:30,840
Speaker 1: So maybe a year of seasoning behind a player like

2099
01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:33,880
Speaker 1: a Jerry Hughes and to Mario Addison, this might be

2100
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:37,760
Speaker 1: a good spot for him. I like to fiddle lot

2101
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:41,160
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, occasionally you do see a T. J.

2102
01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 1: Watt like talent slide down to that range, and it's

2103
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 1: a little bit surprising when we look back and say, wow,

2104
01:56:46,400 --> 01:56:49,680
Speaker 1: how did that guy land there? But with Oa, it's

2105
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:53,120
Speaker 1: like you said, all athletic potential right now, fairly new

2106
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 1: to the game, puts some explosive numbers out during his

2107
01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 1: pro day, and it's not as if he wasn't getting

2108
01:56:58,120 --> 01:57:00,960
Speaker 1: into the backfield. You turn on the Indiana tape, you

2109
01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:02,880
Speaker 1: turn on a couple others he played this year, and

2110
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,320
Speaker 1: you say, here's a guy with a lot of you know,

2111
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:08,600
Speaker 1: warning track power almost you know, he's almost putting it

2112
01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:10,960
Speaker 1: out of the ballpark here and sacking these guys left

2113
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 1: and right. Couldn't quite convert. That's why he had the

2114
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:17,120
Speaker 1: zero sax season. Probably too much made of that particular

2115
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:19,640
Speaker 1: stat But it's not as if he had a rash

2116
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 1: of sacks his previous two years either. He had six

2117
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: and a half in twenty nineteen. I think a lot

2118
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:27,560
Speaker 1: of those almost sacks once he gets a little bit

2119
01:57:27,600 --> 01:57:30,080
Speaker 1: more refinement, once he gets some good teaching watches, some

2120
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 1: veterans are going to turn into sacks in this league.

2121
01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 1: And I feel pretty good about him. But there is

2122
01:57:34,800 --> 01:57:37,240
Speaker 1: a projection, and that's what you worry about. But if

2123
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to project on a guy or take a risk,

2124
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:41,280
Speaker 1: it's going to be on an athlete who looks exactly

2125
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:44,840
Speaker 1: like this, who runs like you know, most tight ends

2126
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 1: dream of running of linebackers, safeties, whatever. He is an

2127
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:52,360
Speaker 1: unbelievable athlete and supposedly a great kid too. And one

2128
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:54,920
Speaker 1: of the other things about this draft that Chris and

2129
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:56,840
Speaker 1: I have talked about a lot are these guys that

2130
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,680
Speaker 1: look a little bit like where the NFL is gonna head.

2131
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 1: You get a defensive back like Elijah Molden from Washington.

2132
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:07,160
Speaker 1: Guys who are a little bit you know, undersized, safe

2133
01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 1: or undersized linebackers, oversized safeties, but really athletic, really fast,

2134
01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: could maybe plug into sub packages in the NFL. Do

2135
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:16,400
Speaker 1: you give us a little bit of your take on

2136
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 1: on the Washington defensive back Elijah Molden. Does he fit

2137
01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 1: like that? Yeah? I mean this is sort of a

2138
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:25,320
Speaker 1: hybrid league anyway. Now. I think you feel like, you know,

2139
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,840
Speaker 1: it almost becomes a versatility league. And if you have

2140
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:30,280
Speaker 1: guys who can do multiple roles depending on what you're

2141
01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 1: asking them to do, that's great. You don't have some substitute, etc.

2142
01:58:34,160 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 1: And Moulden's one of my favorite players in this draft.

2143
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't terribly fast, especially for his size undersize,

2144
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:42,400
Speaker 1: but you watch him in the nickel and he's a

2145
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 1: little bulldog. I mean, he really takes pride in his work.

2146
01:58:46,440 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 1: Outstanding football intelligence, great instincts, you know, a knack for

2147
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:54,560
Speaker 1: getting his hands on passes. And you know, is he

2148
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to carry the speed receivers forty yards downfield?

2149
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:00,640
Speaker 1: Probably not. You don't ask him to do that. You

2150
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:04,560
Speaker 1: ask him to cover the quick, fast, shifty slot receivers.

2151
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 1: And he could play some safety too. He did it

2152
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:08,680
Speaker 1: in his last game there. You know, you see him here.

2153
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:11,480
Speaker 1: He's not a big guy, but neither is Tyrande Matthew.

2154
01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:14,880
Speaker 1: Neither is Buddhabaka if you can play, you can play.

2155
01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:17,720
Speaker 1: And you know one inch of height or ten pounds

2156
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 1: of weight isn't going to make me sway my evaluation

2157
01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:23,280
Speaker 1: too much. So I love the kid and thinks he's

2158
01:59:23,320 --> 01:59:24,880
Speaker 1: going to be one of those players we look back

2159
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 1: and say, how did he fall so far? He's too

2160
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 1: good a football player to have lasted that long. And

2161
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:33,160
Speaker 1: then Eric, with respect to the pick at thirty, I mean,

2162
01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:36,320
Speaker 1: over the last three years in the draft, Eric, between

2163
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:38,560
Speaker 1: pick twenty and thirty two, there have been at least

2164
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:42,560
Speaker 1: on average four draft trades in that range over the

2165
01:59:42,640 --> 01:59:45,600
Speaker 1: last three years. We know that teams at the top

2166
01:59:45,680 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 1: of round two like to climb into the bottom of

2167
01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:50,960
Speaker 1: round one, get the fifty year option on a player

2168
01:59:51,080 --> 01:59:54,760
Speaker 1: for some cost control. There are other reasons, you know,

2169
01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 1: beat the team with the first pick in the second

2170
01:59:56,560 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 1: round to the punch on a player they covet. Brandon

2171
02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 1: being said it's going to depend on what our board

2172
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 1: looks like. But he didn't he didn't shy away from it.

2173
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:07,840
Speaker 1: He said, you know, if if it makes sense for

2174
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:10,920
Speaker 1: us and the offer is right, we would be open

2175
02:00:10,960 --> 02:00:14,760
Speaker 1: to moving back. How much do you anticipate Brandon Bean's

2176
02:00:14,800 --> 02:00:18,920
Speaker 1: phone ringing at thirty Yeah, and just like we talked

2177
02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:21,080
Speaker 1: about with Davis Mills, I mean there are other sort

2178
02:00:21,120 --> 02:00:23,640
Speaker 1: of premium positions that you may want to, you know,

2179
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:26,080
Speaker 1: get that fifth year option, especially if it's a player

2180
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: like we were talking about with Oay earlier, where maybe

2181
02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:31,560
Speaker 1: year one is a developmental year and you want that

2182
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: extra year built into their contract. Essentially, well, you got

2183
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:36,200
Speaker 1: to take them in the first thirty two picks to

2184
02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:38,640
Speaker 1: guarantee you have it. So I could see it happening.

2185
02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:41,200
Speaker 1: Typically quarterbacks are the ones that make the phone rings,

2186
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:43,480
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that we, you know, we can't

2187
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:46,400
Speaker 1: have other players at other positions who have that same

2188
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:49,360
Speaker 1: sort of value and the same type of projection where

2189
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, you'd love to have him under contract for

2190
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:54,000
Speaker 1: an additional year. So you know, I could see it happening.

2191
02:00:54,040 --> 02:00:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Mills in Round one thing

2192
02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:58,880
Speaker 1: is really happening. You know, I sort of put it

2193
02:00:58,920 --> 02:01:00,320
Speaker 1: in my mock as a little bit of a lark

2194
02:01:00,320 --> 02:01:02,360
Speaker 1: because I don't think he you know, you can safely

2195
02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:05,760
Speaker 1: project him there. But the amount of talent, especially a

2196
02:01:05,840 --> 02:01:08,920
Speaker 1: sneaky position might be running back. The number of teams

2197
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:11,120
Speaker 1: sort of looking for running backs in the late first

2198
02:01:11,200 --> 02:01:15,080
Speaker 1: round in early second round, especially teams with multiple picks,

2199
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:18,600
Speaker 1: and multiple high picks in the draft is a little

2200
02:01:18,720 --> 02:01:23,040
Speaker 1: higher than normal. So I could see a team like Jacksonville, Arizona, whomever,

2201
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta looking for a running back wanting to

2202
02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:28,960
Speaker 1: slide up five or six spots into round one. I

2203
02:01:29,040 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 1: also wanted to ask you about your article about the

2204
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:33,320
Speaker 1: Old Juice team and it kind of a tribute to

2205
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:36,120
Speaker 1: your friend Terres Payler. You guys at Yahoo sports to

2206
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:39,320
Speaker 1: give us an idea of what's behind that article. Terres

2207
02:01:39,400 --> 02:01:41,920
Speaker 1: started at the Kansas City Star in two fifteen. He

2208
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:43,840
Speaker 1: was covering the Chiefs and he was a draft junkie.

2209
02:01:43,880 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he loved the process, he loved digging for information,

2210
02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:51,200
Speaker 1: and he wanted to create a team of guys. Effort, performance,

2211
02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 1: at attitude. Those are the three pillars of the team.

2212
02:01:53,840 --> 02:01:56,400
Speaker 1: And this series became a hit. He went for the

2213
02:01:56,480 --> 02:02:00,240
Speaker 1: Star to Yahoo Sports in twenty eighteen. You know, ain't

2214
02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:02,920
Speaker 1: a huge national following. People love the All Juice Team.

2215
02:02:03,320 --> 02:02:06,800
Speaker 1: It's guys who were first rounders, undrafted everything in between.

2216
02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:09,880
Speaker 1: It's not just the high picks, it's the ones who

2217
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:13,840
Speaker 1: best personified those traits. We lost Torres on February ninth.

2218
02:02:13,880 --> 02:02:16,120
Speaker 1: It was right after the Super Bowl. We were all devastated.

2219
02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:19,680
Speaker 1: You know, the amount of outpouring of emotion outside of

2220
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: Yahoo Sports is incredible. We just thought we got to

2221
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:25,240
Speaker 1: keep this tradition going here, and what better way to

2222
02:02:25,320 --> 02:02:27,840
Speaker 1: do it than Terrez's baby. This is what he loves

2223
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:31,440
Speaker 1: so much. So Charles Robinson, Pete Dammel and I really did.

2224
02:02:32,520 --> 02:02:34,720
Speaker 1: It was a tough job, but I mean yeoman's work

2225
02:02:34,800 --> 02:02:37,400
Speaker 1: trying to do what Terres did, and we tried our

2226
02:02:37,480 --> 02:02:39,880
Speaker 1: best to honor him and came up with the thirty

2227
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:42,680
Speaker 1: two guys who we felt personified those traits. And I'll

2228
02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:44,360
Speaker 1: tell you two of the guys on that list that

2229
02:02:44,440 --> 02:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I like a lot. Bottom half of the third round.

2230
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:52,920
Speaker 1: Rashad Weaver from pitt the edge rusher, and then Divine Diablo,

2231
02:02:53,240 --> 02:02:57,080
Speaker 1: who is a physical anomaly from Virginia Tech. Kind of

2232
02:02:57,120 --> 02:03:00,280
Speaker 1: a safety linebacker, a hybrid. You look at that kid,

2233
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't look like the middle of the

2234
02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:05,440
Speaker 1: field free safety, but he they lined him up there

2235
02:03:05,480 --> 02:03:07,760
Speaker 1: at times. I mean, maybe just talk a little bit

2236
02:03:07,800 --> 02:03:11,280
Speaker 1: about what you know about Weaver and Diablo, because I

2237
02:03:11,400 --> 02:03:13,760
Speaker 1: love Weaver as a guy that can set the edge

2238
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 1: four you and gives it a little pass rush even

2239
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 1: late on day two. Well, I promise I'm not giving

2240
02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:21,680
Speaker 1: away any house secrets because this didn't come from the Bills,

2241
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:23,480
Speaker 1: but I know they did a lot of work on

2242
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Dugger, who ended up going to the Patriots, and

2243
02:03:25,640 --> 02:03:29,120
Speaker 1: in terms of body size, very similar players. I could

2244
02:03:29,160 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 1: see him being a hybrid and nickel type of player.

2245
02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:34,720
Speaker 1: We can play a little linebacker, a little safety. To me,

2246
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 1: he screams Buffalo Bills. So he's got the height, he's

2247
02:03:38,440 --> 02:03:40,960
Speaker 1: got the workout numbers, he's got good production. To turn

2248
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 1: on the Notre Dame tape from nineteen he played great

2249
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:47,280
Speaker 1: and a team leader and somebody with incredible intangibles. They

2250
02:03:47,440 --> 02:03:51,200
Speaker 1: rave about his character and personality there. So that's a

2251
02:03:51,240 --> 02:03:53,440
Speaker 1: player that I would earmark. And I just again, this

2252
02:03:53,600 --> 02:03:56,000
Speaker 1: is my instincts telling me this. It's not coming from

2253
02:03:56,040 --> 02:03:58,920
Speaker 1: the Bills or anything. But and then Weaver is just

2254
02:03:59,080 --> 02:04:01,440
Speaker 1: one of those guys of a lunch pale guy with

2255
02:04:02,280 --> 02:04:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, better than average athleticism, great production, consistent. You know,

2256
02:04:06,640 --> 02:04:08,960
Speaker 1: he was one of those players at pitt where they

2257
02:04:09,040 --> 02:04:11,560
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, what would we do without him?

2258
02:04:11,600 --> 02:04:14,080
Speaker 1: And they lost them to an ACL injury and got hurt,

2259
02:04:14,320 --> 02:04:16,840
Speaker 1: and they found out in twenty eighteen what a loss

2260
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:19,920
Speaker 1: it was twousand nineteen rather but he came back strong

2261
02:04:20,040 --> 02:04:23,120
Speaker 1: the great, no worse for the wear. I like him

2262
02:04:23,120 --> 02:04:25,160
Speaker 1: as a rotational edge, and I think he'll end up

2263
02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:27,320
Speaker 1: being a very solid football player in this league for

2264
02:04:27,360 --> 02:04:31,200
Speaker 1: a while. You got anybody else you wanted to bounce

2265
02:04:31,200 --> 02:04:34,960
Speaker 1: off Erica, Yeah, that's good stuff. I'm I'm way about

2266
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm all about the Old Juice Team. I mean, I

2267
02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:40,200
Speaker 1: think and Steve, let me tell you, Divine Diablo, the

2268
02:04:40,280 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 1: work he does on special teams, you're gonna love this. Yeah, well,

2269
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of time on those units.

2270
02:04:44,800 --> 02:04:47,640
Speaker 1: No matter what else he does. It's obviously and there's

2271
02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 1: more than one of these guys on your list of

2272
02:04:50,320 --> 02:04:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, this Old Juice team. That's exactly the kind

2273
02:04:52,720 --> 02:04:55,240
Speaker 1: of guy that finds his way onto the active roster

2274
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:57,480
Speaker 1: where some of these other guys they may him, they

2275
02:04:57,520 --> 02:04:59,040
Speaker 1: may be on the practice squad or whatever. Some of

2276
02:04:59,040 --> 02:05:01,000
Speaker 1: these guys are going to be on the field on Sunday,

2277
02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:03,760
Speaker 1: even if it is covering kicks or whatever. They're gonna

2278
02:05:03,760 --> 02:05:06,240
Speaker 1: be playing in the National Football League Because of that Juice,

2279
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:08,440
Speaker 1: where some of the other guys with more talent and

2280
02:05:08,520 --> 02:05:11,000
Speaker 1: more pedigree will not be because they just don't want

2281
02:05:11,040 --> 02:05:12,840
Speaker 1: to take the time to do it or don't have

2282
02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:16,000
Speaker 1: the heart. Absolutely, Eric got about that. Yeah, I mean

2283
02:05:16,040 --> 02:05:18,840
Speaker 1: it comes down to effort, intelligence, and performance. That's really

2284
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:21,760
Speaker 1: what it is. Eric, thanks for giving us some time today.

2285
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:25,360
Speaker 1: We'll keep our eye out for the last twelve on

2286
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:28,200
Speaker 1: your top one hundred prospects. I know you'll get him

2287
02:05:28,240 --> 02:05:31,160
Speaker 1: in before the draft starts for us on Yahoo Sports.

2288
02:05:31,200 --> 02:05:34,200
Speaker 1: Thanks very much, Thanks Eric, with at least five minutes

2289
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:38,839
Speaker 1: to spare. Thank you. That's Eric Atome, NFL draft analyst

2290
02:05:38,920 --> 02:05:42,720
Speaker 1: for Yahoo Sports. I like the All Juice team that

2291
02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:44,960
Speaker 1: they put together, and there aren't too many players on

2292
02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 1: that list that I don't think too much of. But

2293
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:53,000
Speaker 1: I love focusing on the Day two early Day three

2294
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:56,720
Speaker 1: guys because that's the meat and potatoes of every draft, Steve,

2295
02:05:56,760 --> 02:06:00,200
Speaker 1: as you know, and everybody pays attention to the first

2296
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:02,160
Speaker 1: round picks and then everybody just kind of sits back

2297
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:04,640
Speaker 1: and let's the rest of the draft kind of unfold.

2298
02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:08,480
Speaker 1: I love digging in deep on some of these guys.

2299
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I was watching Divine Diablo tape last night Virginia Tech

2300
02:06:13,040 --> 02:06:19,640
Speaker 1: safety linebacker Hybrid. He wore Cam Chancellor's number, who was

2301
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:22,200
Speaker 1: also a Virginia Tech product. They told him you got

2302
02:06:22,280 --> 02:06:24,560
Speaker 1: to wear his number, so he wore it last year.

2303
02:06:25,600 --> 02:06:29,280
Speaker 1: And he's big like Cam Chancellor. He runs even better

2304
02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:32,920
Speaker 1: than Cam Chanceller. This guy covers an insane amount of ground.

2305
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 1: He brings the wood. Teammates love him and his name.

2306
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't put that guy on the

2307
02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:46,160
Speaker 1: all name team, it is an oxymoron. Divine diablo, which

2308
02:06:46,240 --> 02:06:48,120
Speaker 1: means the devil. I mean, how do you have a

2309
02:06:48,200 --> 02:06:51,120
Speaker 1: better name than that? That is an all world name,

2310
02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:55,400
Speaker 1: divine Diablo? Tell me you can beat that? Yeah, I

2311
02:06:55,440 --> 02:06:59,280
Speaker 1: get you. Oh my gosh, that's yeah. And he's a

2312
02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:01,720
Speaker 1: foot He's one of the those guys that if he

2313
02:07:01,840 --> 02:07:05,960
Speaker 1: goes to the right situation, could could literally burst onto

2314
02:07:06,040 --> 02:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the scene in the NFL, if you know what I mean,

2315
02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:10,960
Speaker 1: If he went to the right spot, the perfect team,

2316
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:14,280
Speaker 1: in the perfect you know scenario, he'd get on the field.

2317
02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:17,320
Speaker 1: For him, he's that kind of player, and he would

2318
02:07:17,400 --> 02:07:19,400
Speaker 1: become a guy like why where did you know how

2319
02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:21,360
Speaker 1: they find that guy? Where? Why didn't we get that guy?

2320
02:07:21,560 --> 02:07:26,320
Speaker 1: One of those guys? And that's Um, yeah, you like

2321
02:07:26,440 --> 02:07:28,280
Speaker 1: it when you see the guy like you you watch

2322
02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:31,280
Speaker 1: his highlights and stuff. His teammates love the guy, and

2323
02:07:31,920 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 1: you know those are traits that carry forth in the NFL.

2324
02:07:36,600 --> 02:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Guys gravitate the guys who get it done and who

2325
02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:41,280
Speaker 1: lay it out there and who you know, do it

2326
02:07:41,400 --> 02:07:43,160
Speaker 1: for the team, do everything for the team. And that's

2327
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:45,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool to see. That's why he's on this

2328
02:07:45,320 --> 02:07:47,600
Speaker 1: old Juice team and team and I'm I'm kind of

2329
02:07:47,640 --> 02:07:50,360
Speaker 1: anxious to see that where he lands. Yeah, because I guy,

2330
02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:53,840
Speaker 1: I think he's probably a late day two guy. Um,

2331
02:07:54,560 --> 02:08:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why he's that far down. Um, but

2332
02:08:00,320 --> 02:08:03,800
Speaker 1: I do know that just watching his tape last night.

2333
02:08:03,880 --> 02:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he is he's a physical anomaly. He's six three,

2334
02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty six pounds. Okay, he runs a

2335
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:16,800
Speaker 1: four four four that's fast, like at sixty three, two

2336
02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six pounds. Come on, man, what is

2337
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:22,600
Speaker 1: going on? And now I don't know what kind of

2338
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:25,440
Speaker 1: coverage skills he has because he's kind of a more

2339
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:29,160
Speaker 1: physical player than he is a you know, kind of

2340
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:34,080
Speaker 1: a grinder. But that's athletic enough to play for any

2341
02:08:34,120 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 1: football right And he was a three year starter. I

2342
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:37,840
Speaker 1: mean he's playing a Virginia Tech. I mean, you're in

2343
02:08:37,880 --> 02:08:42,840
Speaker 1: a good system there. But yeah, he's a tweener. He's

2344
02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:46,720
Speaker 1: a linebackers safety tweener, and some teams he's just flat

2345
02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:48,400
Speaker 1: out not gonna be a fit for. And that's why

2346
02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:51,480
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna stay on the board for a while.

2347
02:08:51,760 --> 02:08:54,560
Speaker 1: You gotta have a spot for that. And and the

2348
02:08:54,800 --> 02:08:58,880
Speaker 1: slack in your draft board, you know, I must say slack,

2349
02:08:59,040 --> 02:09:02,520
Speaker 1: but rumor your roster to not take a guy that's

2350
02:09:02,560 --> 02:09:04,560
Speaker 1: got to play with you right away. You gotta contribute

2351
02:09:04,600 --> 02:09:07,520
Speaker 1: in this certain way, you know. And the Bills in

2352
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:10,400
Speaker 1: there in the philosophy, they're gonna take the best guy there.

2353
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:13,920
Speaker 1: Diablo's got a chance at some point during the draft,

2354
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: and he's the best guy there. And here's what you're

2355
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna like, seven hundred and thirty nine career snaps on

2356
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:24,280
Speaker 1: special teams. That's that he's gonna be a guy played

2357
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:26,720
Speaker 1: in fifty one games. Think about this. He's gonna be

2358
02:09:26,800 --> 02:09:29,400
Speaker 1: a guy that goes on Day two of the draft

2359
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:32,600
Speaker 1: or day three of the draft, right and he's gonna start.

2360
02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:35,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the field opening day for a team,

2361
02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:38,880
Speaker 1: first team All acc team captain. I mean he is

2362
02:09:39,040 --> 02:09:43,120
Speaker 1: screaming Bill's DNA, screaming it. He's gonna be at the

2363
02:09:43,240 --> 02:09:45,400
Speaker 1: very least, he's gonna be chasing kicks. He's gonna be

2364
02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:51,360
Speaker 1: out El Diablo. Right. If that guy ends up on

2365
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:53,280
Speaker 1: the Bills, Murph's gonna have a field day. We're gonna

2366
02:09:53,280 --> 02:09:54,560
Speaker 1: get We'll get him in and we'll put it. We'll

2367
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:59,880
Speaker 1: give him his own podcast right solo. So that's a

2368
02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:01,600
Speaker 1: kind of that. Those are the kind of guys you're

2369
02:10:01,600 --> 02:10:04,920
Speaker 1: going across in these scenarios and these draft evaluations where

2370
02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:08,160
Speaker 1: he may never it may never come around or even

2371
02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 1: have a shot at getting him right because he's way

2372
02:10:10,280 --> 02:10:13,000
Speaker 1: below this pick. He's way up behind the pick in

2373
02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:15,600
Speaker 1: the range. Yeah, and then he's gone by the time

2374
02:10:15,720 --> 02:10:18,200
Speaker 1: the next pick comes, you know, and it's and he's

2375
02:10:18,240 --> 02:10:21,120
Speaker 1: not you're not worth shuffling around in the draft to

2376
02:10:21,240 --> 02:10:23,480
Speaker 1: go get him because you're not gonna do that on

2377
02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:27,840
Speaker 1: Day three. But you know, that's that's kind of the

2378
02:10:28,160 --> 02:10:29,880
Speaker 1: why you miss on a guy like that, You just don't.

2379
02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:32,520
Speaker 1: He's just never there when you're you're picking. There are

2380
02:10:32,600 --> 02:10:36,800
Speaker 1: some interesting safety prospects, and the Bills are a little shorthanded,

2381
02:10:36,840 --> 02:10:40,480
Speaker 1: at that position in terms of numbers. So come Day three,

2382
02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 1: they could be looking at some safeties. You know, whether

2383
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:46,720
Speaker 1: it's him, whether it's Andre Cisco, the Syracuse kid who

2384
02:10:46,760 --> 02:10:49,120
Speaker 1: I like a lot. That kid is a ballhawk man,

2385
02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:55,000
Speaker 1: comes from downstate. He's a New York native. Um, they're

2386
02:10:55,200 --> 02:10:57,160
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna have some options to choose from

2387
02:10:57,200 --> 02:10:59,400
Speaker 1: at the safety position to kind of fortify the ranks

2388
02:10:59,520 --> 02:11:01,880
Speaker 1: from a day perspective. And if you have a kid

2389
02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:04,680
Speaker 1: that has that much special teams experience, you can you

2390
02:11:04,760 --> 02:11:07,160
Speaker 1: can have him up on game day rights. That's the plots.

2391
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: That's something that goes that shouldn't go unnoticed. If if

2392
02:11:11,280 --> 02:11:13,120
Speaker 1: he's not going to start for you, which there's not

2393
02:11:13,160 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 1: going to be a safety in this draft that could

2394
02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:18,240
Speaker 1: start for this team, he's gonna be on the field contributing.

2395
02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:21,600
Speaker 1: And that's that's big. That's really big, particularly for a

2396
02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:23,960
Speaker 1: team like who lost Dean Marlow and those kind of

2397
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 1: guy you know where you got a hold there where

2398
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Marlow was a special teams guy and we did it

2399
02:11:27,680 --> 02:11:32,920
Speaker 1: for a while. It's almost it's one for one. Yeah,

2400
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:35,600
Speaker 1: swap went out, Swap went in break time for us,

2401
02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:37,600
Speaker 1: Steve and I to close things up next here on

Speaker 1: spoke to the media today in a forty to forty

2408
02:12:13,560 --> 02:12:17,920
Speaker 1: five minute Q and A session. And I guess the

2409
02:12:18,040 --> 02:12:19,960
Speaker 1: headlines that are going to come out of this that'll

2410
02:12:19,960 --> 02:12:22,600
Speaker 1: be showing up in the media probably later today and tomorrow,

2411
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:25,720
Speaker 1: is what Brandon Bean had to say about an extension

2412
02:12:25,760 --> 02:12:30,960
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen, which essentially is, this can't guarantee it's

2413
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:34,280
Speaker 1: going to happen this calendar year, but it's going to happen.

2414
02:12:34,600 --> 02:12:37,840
Speaker 1: Josh wants to be here, They want him here. In

2415
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:41,160
Speaker 1: the words of Brandon Bean, we're all on the same page.

2416
02:12:41,880 --> 02:12:45,680
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of navigating what the cap is

2417
02:12:45,800 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 1: probably going to be next year and structuring a contract

2418
02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:54,800
Speaker 1: to keep them in a position to keep the roster

2419
02:12:55,000 --> 02:13:00,760
Speaker 1: competitive while also paying Josh Allen fair market value. Yeah,

2420
02:13:00,960 --> 02:13:03,680
Speaker 1: that's really what we're Yeah, I'm it's a when not

2421
02:13:03,760 --> 02:13:06,480
Speaker 1: an if. I'm sixteen months before I even think about

2422
02:13:06,520 --> 02:13:08,440
Speaker 1: worrying about whether they're going to do that or not.

2423
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:10,920
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that they're gonna do it, and they'll

2424
02:13:10,960 --> 02:13:12,480
Speaker 1: get it done. And I think they need to do it,

2425
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:14,600
Speaker 1: and I think it's more about the structure rather than

2426
02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:16,720
Speaker 1: if or when it gets done. I want to know

2427
02:13:16,920 --> 02:13:20,280
Speaker 1: what it's going to look like and how hamstrung the

2428
02:13:20,400 --> 02:13:23,120
Speaker 1: team will be given a quarterback who is an m

2429
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:25,880
Speaker 1: v P caliber quarterback a contract, and how much they're

2430
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to left over to spend to build a

2431
02:13:27,560 --> 02:13:29,880
Speaker 1: team around him. How are they going to structure it

2432
02:13:29,960 --> 02:13:32,880
Speaker 1: so that they can still do that. It's gonna get done.

2433
02:13:33,440 --> 02:13:35,720
Speaker 1: The question is what's it gonna look like? Yeah, and

2434
02:13:35,840 --> 02:13:38,440
Speaker 1: in all likelihood the way things are shaping up, And

2435
02:13:38,560 --> 02:13:41,240
Speaker 1: with the fifth year option fast approaching, the deadline to

2436
02:13:41,360 --> 02:13:44,040
Speaker 1: exercise it may third, which is literally two days after

2437
02:13:44,120 --> 02:13:47,440
Speaker 1: the draft is over. If you were a betting man,

2438
02:13:47,600 --> 02:13:50,920
Speaker 1: you would probably bet that they exercise the fifty year option,

2439
02:13:51,600 --> 02:13:54,120
Speaker 1: if not for any other reason, to buy more time

2440
02:13:54,640 --> 02:13:56,960
Speaker 1: to get an extension done. Yeah, and he's getting twenty

2441
02:13:56,960 --> 02:13:59,520
Speaker 1: three million guaranteed if when there's nothing to sneeze, which

2442
02:13:59,520 --> 02:14:02,360
Speaker 1: is nothing, but it's still a lowball price for a

2443
02:14:02,440 --> 02:14:04,560
Speaker 1: quarterback who's playing as well as Josh out. But that's

2444
02:14:04,600 --> 02:14:06,680
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty two. That's when they have time to

2445
02:14:06,760 --> 02:14:10,160
Speaker 1: fix that number with an extension tomorrow's show, we've got

2446
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:14,839
Speaker 1: more draft analysis. Draft analyst for the Athletic Dane Brugler

2447
02:14:15,160 --> 02:14:17,760
