1
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field,

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: in the strato beere of normalcy. Ah the heck are you? Everybody?

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here for another week of draft preparation.

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: As we now sit approximately what is it, ten eleven

7
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: days away from the twenty twenty one NFL Draft, and

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: we are in full court press mode. There's other stuff

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: going on around. There's there's nothing going on there. There's

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: a few things they don't They pale in comparison to

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: the draft, which is clearly the biggest offseason event, if

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: you even want to call it an offseason formation that

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the NFL has. Well, that's gigantic news across the pot,

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: and we can touch on that briefly. I know there

15
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: are only a select few people that share is not

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: the kind of football we usually talk about. Man oh man.

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: They are all a dither in Europe. Well, and there's

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: a big reason why. And I know that people that

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: are largely just fans of the American professional sports leagues

20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: are scratching their head a little bit as to why

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: this is causing what is going to amount to a

22
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: civil war in the soccer world on the continent of Europe. Correct, Mafar,

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: you know this is this a little bit like as

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: if the SEC and certain other schools, Not only is

25
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: he like sixty of the SEC and the top three

26
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: teams in the Big ten and the top two teams

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve, those kind of schools all banded

28
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: together and form their own league and told this NCAA

29
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: to pound soul. It's bigger than that. Okay, thank you.

30
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: It's the equivalent of Dallas, Washington, the Rams, the Patriots,

31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: the Giants, the forty nine Ers, the Jets, the Bears,

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Texans, the Broncos, and the Raiders all

33
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: leaving the NFL. There you go. That's that's the size

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: of this. Like that helps the highest grossing teams, the

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: twelve highest grossing teams in the NFL would break off

36
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: and do their own thing. That that's the size of

37
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: this in Europe. That's how big it is. Now. I

38
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: should say this, the NFL is probably not the best

39
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: model to use as a comparison. I'm strictly talking about

40
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: size of impact in the professional sports world. In Europe.

41
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: It's that big. It's that big like so for instance,

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: that would never happen in the NFL for a various

43
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: number of reasons. Right, So what you're I guess what

44
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: I'm what The question I was going to ask was,

45
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: you know, these big teams are breaking off. They want to, right,

46
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: they want to and the But if you're going to

47
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: compare to the NFL, supposedly what they're breaking off from

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: like FIFA and all that is corrupt, Well, FIFA had

49
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: a long history of corruption. They are trying to clean

50
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: that up now. They have in the last few years

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: gotten rid of the most corrupt people within the nonprofit organization.

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: UEFA is a FIFA is a nonprofit organization that gross

53
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: is about four hundred billion dollars a year. But they

54
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: got rid of all of the corrupt people, including their president,

55
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: and they've been working to clean up their act. The

56
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: impetus for this breakoff, and I'm not going to pretend

57
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: to be an expert on it, but I know a

58
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: few things about it. The impetus for this breakoff is

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: in professional soccer over there, at the highest level, you

60
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: still have your halves and your knots, but the havenots

61
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: are sustained by the success of the halves. Because the

62
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: top four teams in each of the major professional leagues

63
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: in each respective country Spain as a as a league,

64
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: England as a league, Italy as a league, trans as

65
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: a league, Germany has a league, etc. Etc. They take

66
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: the reward for those high grossing clubs to remain where

67
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: they are in the leagues they exist in in their

68
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: respective home countries. The incentive to stay in those leagues

69
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: is they routinely finish in the top four, and if

70
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: you finish in the top four, it allows you to

71
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: qualify for what's called Champions League, which is an extra

72
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: separate tournament type league. It's like it's like March Madness

73
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: for thirty two of the best teams in Europe and

74
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: they compete and get paid for it, and if they

75
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: win the Champions League, it's an extra hundred million dollars

76
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: in that team's pocket for the calendar year. So that's

77
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: the incentive to stay in the current league where they exist,

78
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: where there are teams that don't even come within a

79
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: shred of the spending that they do. There's no salary

80
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: cap over there, right, so you can spend as much

81
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: as you want or as little as you want and

82
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: try to stay you know there are Yeah, So the

83
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Champions League is essentially getting usurped by this super league.

84
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: So the Champions League, which is run by the United

85
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: European Football Association, is getting will be essentially wiped off

86
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: the map with all their TV deals and everything, because

87
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: the best teams will no longer be playing there, They'll

88
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: be playing in their own super league. They're like, whoa okay,

89
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: hold on a second, right, So that's so what you're

90
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: so okay? Now there is a trickle down effect with

91
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: the Champions League. Even though the clubs that participate in

92
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: all the money, there is other television money that gets

93
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: verted to their home country leagues. So like the English

94
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: Premier League sends four teams to compete in Champions League,

95
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: those teams that participate get most of the revenue, but

96
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: there is still some revenue that gets kicked back to

97
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: their Premier League in England. The deal is with this

98
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: new super league, all those big money teams to keep

99
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: the money they keep all and now they're trying to

100
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: retaliate by keeping the players out of World Cup events.

101
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: So FIFA says, if you're if your club and your

102
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: players participate in that league, those players will not be

103
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: able to play for their countries in the World Cup,

104
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: which is gigantic. Now, I don't know how they could

105
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: ever enforce that, And tell you know, four the four

106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: best players on the US national team play in Europe

107
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: for some of these European teams, like Christian Polistic plays

108
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: for Chelsea. Weston McKenney plays, you know, I mean, he

109
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: plays for Juventus. Those are two teams that are in

110
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: this super league category. Zach Stephen is the best goalkeeper

111
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: in the US. Simple fact of the matter is those

112
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: teams that are forming this super league are going to

113
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: get really rich. It's a money crap in essence, it

114
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: is a money grab to say, hey, we're the most

115
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: competitive teams, we gross the most money for our respective leagues.

116
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Why can't we keep more of it? And that's what

117
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: they're saying here. There's enough, there's enough teams like that

118
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: in all of Europe, in these different countries that they

119
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: have big enough markets, big enough market shares in their

120
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: own regions. They're all wealthy, whether they win or not.

121
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: So they have twelve teams now in the current group

122
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: that they've formed. They're going to add three more to

123
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: get to fifteen. I don't know how they're choosing those,

124
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: and then they are supposedly going to pick five more

125
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: through a qualification process, you know, like finish first or

126
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: second and wherever you play now and do that for

127
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: the fourth year in a row. Okay, you're in. You

128
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. So it'll be a twenty

129
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: team super league at the end of the day if

130
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: it in fact goes forward, and most analysts over in

131
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Europe say looks like a fade dot com plea, it

132
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: is going to happen, right, So what I take away

133
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: from all this being sitting here a million miles away

134
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 1: doing a different sport, is I'm so glad that the

135
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: league that we talk about is run the way it's run.

136
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: That's correct. The big issue overseas that they have over

137
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: there that they don't have here is what's called relegation, right,

138
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: and this super league, much like the NFL, would not

139
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: have relegation. Believe it or not. The people that are

140
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: trying to form this super league look at the NFL

141
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: and all the money that they gross and make and say, well,

142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: why can't we do that over here? And that is

143
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of the impetus for this super league in Europe.

144
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: They look at the NFL and all the machine it's

145
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: a cash cow. Oh yeah, are they going to revenue

146
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: share over there? Just like the yet those twenty teams would, right,

147
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Yeah, So in a in a way,

148
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: it is adopting an NFL model of sorts to form

149
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: this super league. And you know where it goes from there,

150
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: I guess remains to be seen. Maybe they have expansion

151
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: or you know, after they're up and running. But to

152
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: give you an example of the money, there's a small example.

153
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: The team that wins Champions League, which is that league

154
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: of the top four finishers in each of the countries

155
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: respective top leagues. The top finisher, the champion of the

156
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Champions League tournament goes home with one hundred million dollars.

157
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: This super league would hand four hundred million dollars to

158
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: each of the team's coming in the door because of

159
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: the television revenue they can generate and negotiate because it's

160
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: the best of the best over there, right, So it's

161
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: it's one hundred percent of money grab but it's it's

162
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: seismic over there. It is like it's a tsunami of news.

163
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: They can't stop talking about it over there. It's crazy,

164
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: absolutely nuts, and we'll see where it goes. I mean

165
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be lawyers involved, so yeah, it's gonna be nuts.

166
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: But let's come back stateside. I'm so glad we don't

167
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: have to worry about. You know, relegation is an interesting thing.

168
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: You have set what were you going to relegate an

169
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: NFL team though? Too, Well, that's the thing because of

170
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: how it's pretty established. But the way relegation works over

171
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: there is if you're the bottom three in your respective league,

172
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: you get relegated to the next lower division, right exactly.

173
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: I mean it'd be like the worst teams in the

174
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: SEC being relegated to FCS. It would be this year

175
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: would be the Jets. You're gonna go play Villanova next year? Right,

176
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna play you know, Clemson in North

177
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Dakota State, Right exactly. I get it. Um. That's it's

178
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: interesting because the business, as much as we love to

179
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: talk about the players in this draft, has dominated our

180
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: conversation and all. That's fun to look at these other

181
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: leagues and kind of transpose why the NFL is here

182
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: and why it's better or different or why we like

183
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: it and why it's so huge here. It's fun because

184
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you when something seismic like this happens, we

185
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: all know. Now it's all about the money. It's all

186
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: about the business end of it. The game is great,

187
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: the game is solid. People love watching it. It's compelling

188
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: to watch. The NFL's played by a bunch of really

189
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: freakish ath leagues who are playing for keeps. You can

190
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: feel the intensity of how seriously they take it. It's

191
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: it's a three hour you know, car wreck. You know,

192
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: you can't not watch, and that's just the game. And

193
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: because of that and because of the compelling nature of

194
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: it and the eyeballs that want to see it, it

195
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: turns into a business that's huge. And I think they

196
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: envision that for that league over there, because with the

197
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: level of talent on those respective teams, who can pay

198
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: the most money for the best players. It's the best

199
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: players playing against the best players. There's no way. If

200
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: it becomes a league and it happens, which looks like

201
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, it's often running and it's gonna

202
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: make money because the talent level is going to draw

203
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: eyeballs alone and just how it's gonna work. And basically

204
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: the people that are crying foul and threatening not to

205
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: have players this and your World Cup that and all

206
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: that are the people that are gonna are being undercut. Yeah,

207
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: because UEFA, then I did, European Football Association, their Champions

208
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: League cash cow, which grosses the most money for them,

209
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: is gonna suffer greatly because this is going to supersede that. Sure,

210
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: because they've got all the talent. Yeah, it's it's going

211
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: to It could potentially seismically change how the soccer governing

212
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: bodies and the sport as it's been constituted as a

213
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: business will function going forward in a giant way. And

214
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: the have nots may have to fold because they're not

215
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: getting the financial support that trickles down to them. Even

216
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: though it is in small measure to what the top

217
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: clubs make, it sustains them, right, and that can go.

218
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: If that goes away, then I think it becomes a

219
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: much more difficult proposition to do business. That's a little

220
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: bit like the NFL does when a team, or like

221
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: the Bills did during the drought. You're okay, but you know,

222
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: you can't get out of the hunt. You can't get

223
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs that kind, but they were still finishing in

224
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: the black by a healthy market because of what the

225
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: l is exactly. That doesn't exist in Europe, Yeah, because

226
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: there's a price to pay. If you finish at the bottom,

227
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: you get relegated to the next lowest division. Right now,

228
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: you have less TV money, you have less money to

229
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: spend on players. Your roster takes a major hit, and

230
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: now you're struggling to compete at the next lowest level.

231
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: Right and if you take another rung down, now you're

232
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: really up a creek. Right now, you're hoping you can

233
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: balance books, you know what I mean, you can't even

234
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: find players to pay. It gets very, very difficult. So

235
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist, fortunately for the NFL, So no problems here.

236
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: NFL News and Notes well usually cover that ground in

237
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: the first segment of the show, and we will do

238
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: that here. It is Trey Lance's second pro day today

239
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: at North Dakota State and the interesting angle to this

240
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: second pro day Steve is the following the San Francisco

241
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. According to Dan Graziano of ESPN three

242
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago, asked Trey Lance and his representatives if he

243
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: would be interested in spending two to three weeks with

244
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: John Beck. Former NFL quarterback played for the Dolphins. I

245
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: believe he kicked around with the Niners a couple of

246
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: other teams as a backup. Has a very close relationship

247
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan, the head coach of the forty nine ers.

248
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: John Beck is like a Jordan Palmer Right, coaches college

249
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: prospects to get ready for the draft. He's got a

250
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: good list of clients. But Kyle Shanahan trusts him and

251
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: his opinion implicitly went to Trey Lance and his representatives said, hey,

252
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: would just spend two to three weeks with John Beck

253
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: doing a B and C the Kyle Shanahan basically gave

254
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: his system to John Beck and said, put Trey Lance

255
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: through the paces for the next two to three weeks.

256
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: It's going to largely be the makeup of what his

257
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: pro day is today, and the Niners are going to

258
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: be there. They did the same thing with Justin Fields

259
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: for his second pro day. Spend two to three weeks

260
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: with John Beck. Run our system to a t. We

261
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: want to see how it looks on you. Oh the

262
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: intrigues so now so now no, no no speculation. What

263
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: do they do with mac Jones well, and that they didn't.

264
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: I didn't do it. But maybe it's because they're sold

265
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: on mac Jones and they're just trying to cross their

266
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: t's and dot their eyes to make sure and convince

267
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: themselves Justin Fields and Trey Lance are not better than

268
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: the guy we have tabbed to be our third overall

269
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: pick ten days from now. I was right. So you

270
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: and I are in the camp. You and I are

271
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: in the camp of basically, do you trade up from

272
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: twelve to three to draft mac Jones? And the answer

273
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: is now, well, he does not have elite physical traits

274
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: if we as we have discussed more than once on

275
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: this show. Here his elite traits are between the years.

276
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: How far that takes you a lot? You and me, right,

277
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that everybody. That's right, Yeah, to take

278
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: the pin out of the belief there um. But I

279
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: will say, here's what I'm having a different story. Here's

280
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: what I'm having. I interrupt you all the time until

281
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: you completely lose your train at thought. I interrupt you

282
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: all the time. Here is the Here is the crux

283
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: of the matter for me, Steve, Okay, you see all

284
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: of this due diligence being These are extraordinary lengths. This

285
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: is new ground. We maybe this has happened before and

286
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: we just haven't heard about it. But he's now done

287
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: this with The Niners have now done this with Justin

288
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Fields and with Trey Lance. To our knowledge, they did

289
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: not do it with mac Jones. But it's hard for

290
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: me to say the forty nine ers when they made

291
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: the move from twelve to three, did not have a

292
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: specific quarterback in mind that they were convinced they could

293
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: get at three. Now, Trevor Lawrence is a foregone conclusion.

294
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: At one, he's already donating to Jacksonville charities with his wife.

295
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Right now, you can take him, that's like taking that's

296
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is out of the Patrick Dundel Lucille now

297
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: up until two. Yeah, the general consensus is Zach Wilson.

298
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: Sure there could be a curveball there, but the Jets

299
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: probably are taking Zach Wilson. Probably, you're that's where you

300
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: probably start, if you're Shanahan. If well, he's in the mix.

301
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: So it's Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Mac Jones.

302
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: There's four guys behind Trevor Lawrence who the Niners are

303
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: looking at. Saying we got a shot at those four guys,

304
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: and you say a specific guy. I don't know that

305
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: it was a specific guy more so than it was like,

306
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: we gotta get one of these, one of these two

307
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: or two, one of these two guys that are left

308
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: over after Trevor Lawrence. Now, when the Jets go to Zach,

309
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: go out to Zach Wilson's out to b Yu and

310
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: watch Zach Wilsons and and the Joe Douglas is, you know,

311
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: rubbing Zach Taylor's tummy and telling him how Grady Zack

312
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: Wilson's tummies. We tell him how Grady is. And they're

313
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: yucking it up, and they're looking like two buddies, and

314
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: you know they're subsequently trade Sam Dark. They're flirting like

315
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: like junior high kids at a dance, right those he

316
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas has got stars in his eyes. Right, So

317
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, there goes Zach Wilson. And then that's

318
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: when you got to think, that's when the click for

319
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: the forty nine say listen, we we gotta get there,

320
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: we gotta get up there. We have got to get

321
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: up there. And they did, do you so you don't

322
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: because I think that means there's one guy. Laugh. You

323
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: think that, well, yeah, but here's the thing, Steve. At three,

324
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: you still don't know who's going to drop into your lap,

325
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: like you can guess a couple will, that's right, But

326
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: who specifically does not drop in your lap? Who comes

327
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: off the board too. You're believing it's probably Zach Wilson.

328
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: So you're happy with what's left over, and you say,

329
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: let's get up to three to get one of the

330
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: remaining two, one of the remaining three, whatever you want

331
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: to call it. I just wonder if right now the

332
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: Niners are ninety five percent sure who they're going to

333
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: take at three, assuming Lawrence Wilson go one two, I

334
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: would say, what would you say? Would you say they're

335
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: ninety five percent sure who they're taking at three, assuming

336
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: what Lawrence and Wilson are the first two picks? Yes, okay,

337
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I say that. I think this is largely an exercise

338
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: and due diligence. I don't know if it's going to

339
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: convince them otherwise, although I surprise it could you could

340
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: say they're already sold on mac Jones and this is

341
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: all just due diligence. You could say as well that

342
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: the Niners said, the Jets are taking Zach Wilson, he

343
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: ain't that good. We're taking the other Let's get the

344
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: other guy. He's better. Let's get him that kind of

345
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: That could be the scenario as well. If they get

346
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: but I don't know that you trade all the way

347
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: up to three on the chance that you get your guy.

348
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They're gonna be happy with

349
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: whoever they get it three. Otherwise they would not have

350
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: made that moves. So that means they like more than

351
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: one guy. Theoretically, you have to like more than one

352
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: guy if you're gonna make that seismic move up to three.

353
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: That's a big move. And they give when they give

354
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: up two extra ones and their pick at twelve. Yeah,

355
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: to get up to three. You're not doing that unless

356
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: you are absolutely in love with at least two of

357
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: the guys. Right, So who's the second guy? If everybody

358
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: is convinced that one of them is Mac Jones, who's

359
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: the other guy? Gotta be Trey Lance or just I'd

360
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: say whoever they like better. Maybe with all this hoop

361
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: jumping they're doing, I'll say this, most of the early

362
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: mock drafts had fields going somewhere between you know, ten

363
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: and twenty on the outside. They always move up though,

364
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: you know that of course, of course, and then when

365
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: the Sam Darnold trade hit and the trade by the

366
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: Niners hit, now they've all rethunk all of that, and

367
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: now he's he's up right now, all these guys are

368
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: starting to filter because they're they're like us, They're they're

369
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: chewing on what the Niners are gonna do. It's literally

370
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: an arms race, exactly right. And it's also a complete

371
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: guessing game as to what Kyle shanahand the guy Kyle

372
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Shanahan really wants. Nobody really knows, but we make a

373
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: lot of inferences about you know, what he's looking at

374
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: from what we've seen, but this thing about him going

375
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: and say, listen, if all right, I want this kid

376
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: Lance trade Lance, I want him to run, get him

377
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: to do this guy Beck, John Beck, Right, have him

378
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: do this drill, get him ready to do all this stuff,

379
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: ABC D and E n F you know our stuff. D. Yeah,

380
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: run him through the spring training drill of twenty seventeen

381
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: that we ran. I remember that, Yeah, that's exactly what

382
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: I want him to do. Do that and then report

383
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: back to me on how he is, how he du day. Yeah,

384
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: every single I'm gonna call you. I'm gonna call you

385
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: at ten pm your time every night, and you're gonna

386
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: tell me how he's doing. Done to me, that's a

387
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: little beyond due diligence, because that's what's happening. He's not.

388
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: He didn't just turn them loose. All that does that? See,

389
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: you can look at this the exact opposite way and

390
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 1: spend a whole one eighty do you do? Are you

391
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: doing all of that because you're not sure and you

392
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: need to cross some more tease and dot some more eyes?

393
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: Well why otherwise why are you doing it? Yes, but

394
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily mean it's Kyle Shanahan. It might mean

395
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: it might be the owner. Oh, it might work. I

396
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: want to make sch John Lynch. Maybe maybe there's some

397
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: tension there. Well, because you think about when they went

398
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: to Jed York with and said, hey, we need we

399
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: want to make this trade. Are you on board? How

400
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: sure are you? Yeah? And the owner says yeah, go

401
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: it gives him the green light. You better make good

402
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: on it because you might be out of a job.

403
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, because if you're what are you gonna do now?

404
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: At three, you're gonna say, our guys off the board.

405
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: Well you knew, you knew Zach wils was gonna be

406
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: off the board six month. What are you doing? Yeah,

407
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: and then here's the other component too, So, yeah, you

408
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: still have Garoppolo on your roster. Now, I suppose if

409
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: you draft a guy that you believe can start right away,

410
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: that you're taking third overall, you could certainly trade him

411
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: on day two or three of the draft for all

412
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: we know. I mean that they can very easily get

413
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: out from under his contract. Yeah, but Garoppolo is our

414
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: guy this year. He's on our You know this, and

415
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: you know whatever you say can change in a month. Yeah,

416
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: so take it for what it's worth. But if if

417
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is the bridge this year to whoever pick number

418
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: three is to start in twenty twenty two, does that

419
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: change who you're taking at three. I don't know that

420
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: it does. You like who you like, and you draft

421
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: the guy to be your future franchise quarterback. I just

422
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: find all of this extra activity very intriguing because, and again,

423
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: maybe this has happened before and it's just hasn't been

424
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: reported in the pre draft run up in previous years.

425
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a brand new thing that the Niners

426
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: are doing because it is very very ambitious to have

427
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: done that with Fields and to now do it with Lance.

428
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: You didn't do it with mac Jones. Maybe you saw

429
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: enough of him. He's the guy you're convinced about. Maybe

430
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: you need more convincing to be moved off of mac

431
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: Jones and that's why you're doing all this hoop jumping.

432
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it is very very interesting. And

433
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: what's even more interesting is you got other teams go

434
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: into this second Pro Day and they've basically let San

435
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: Francisco take the wheel. Yeah, oh yeah, you want to

436
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: run it, Go ahead, just run whatever you gotta do. Well,

437
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll just sit over here. It's not up

438
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: those other teams don't. Nobody has any say in the

439
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: pro day except Fields, and if he knows the ns today, yeah, Lance,

440
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And Lance, the kid who runs it his

441
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: he says, okay, how's and his agent is saying this,

442
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: that and the other. But it's smart for him to

443
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: just have Kyle will say, you want it, you got

444
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: you want me to work with your guy for three weeks?

445
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: You got it? Watch what I watched me when the

446
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: team that's holding the third pick in the draft comes

447
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: to you and says, hey, can we have our quarterback

448
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: guy work with you for three weeks and then then

449
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: incorporate that into your second pro day? Are you gonna

450
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: say no? Absolutely not not You're going on please and

451
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: thank you? Yeah? And where do I sign? That's right now?

452
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: It may he may sing a different tune when they

453
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: don't make it, when they don't pick him. But that's

454
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: the risky take, right Is this unbelievable? And here's a

455
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: whole thing different. How much of their system would John

456
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: Beck divulge to Tray Lance during that run up to

457
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: the draft, only to have him be picked by somebody else,

458
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: by by the car, the Rams, the card, one of

459
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: their division opponents, or somebody else likely. But yeah, and

460
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: they say, what, what Kyle Shan have you doing? Yeah? Well,

461
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: he says, well, I had to be doing ABC and D.

462
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure they didn't give the same terminology names to

463
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: those things in the interest of, you know, protecting that

464
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: trade secrets. But that's you know, if it's fair, I

465
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: get it. It's not. It's not rocket science. I mean,

466
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: it's still dropping back and throwing the football. But having

467
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: the input of a coaching staff, get inside that guy

468
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: before they actually have to draft him. Because I'll tell

469
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: you this, and this happened to me a couple of times.

470
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: I've talked to pro position coaches, not not quarterback coaches,

471
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: but like D line coaches, linebacker coaches, corner coach, dB

472
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: coaches and stuff. Invariably, when you finally draft the guy,

473
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: you get him in a meeting, you get him out

474
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: on the field. The guy goes, I knew in twenty

475
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: minutes which guy could play. Yeah, I knew in twenty minutes.

476
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: And you can't find it out until you draft him

477
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: and have him in your house. But Kyle Shanahan now

478
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: has his guy coaching the guy for a couple of weeks.

479
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: And what's he say and to be clear, and if

480
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: he says, that's pretty good. Yeah. And to be clear,

481
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: John Beck is not on the Niners coaching staff. He

482
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: previously was coached by Shanahan and is a quarterback coach,

483
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: independent contractor type like a Jordan Palmer, right, That's who

484
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: he is. But he has a very good relationship with Shanahan.

485
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: He's agreed to help Shanahan out with these two quarterbacks.

486
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: It is very, very interesting, he agreed, as long as

487
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: the check clears. Yeah, very very interesting. So we'll have

488
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: to see where that goes. Yeah, that's that's you know,

489
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: that's way above him, beyond what it's been in the past.

490
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: It is the most anticipated pick in the entire draft.

491
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: That's when to me, that's the draft number three. Number

492
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: three is actually the first overall pick because the other

493
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: two have been made already. Unless the Jets throw a screwball,

494
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: it is pick number three is, which is the only anticipation,

495
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: which is the only reason they don't already don't already

496
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: have the jerseys. They got the first jersey draft number

497
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: one for the jecksual jacket. That jersey's done, Trevor Lawrence,

498
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: the Jets not yet. Just don't hold that hold up

499
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: on that Jet jersey just so far, not yet. Uh so.

500
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 1: Other NFL news and notes quickly, Alex Smith has just

501
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: announced his retirement. Came down at the top of the hour.

502
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: So the comeback player of the Year in his final

503
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: NFL season. H kudos to that guy for doing what

504
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: he did coming back from about seventeen leg surgeries, multiple

505
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: skin grafts, a rehabilitation that was a long, long road back.

506
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: Thought he was going to lose that leg, came back

507
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: to play NFL football two years later. Just he is

508
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: a medical miracle, quite frankly, So if you never watched

509
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: the documentary that ESPN did on his rehabilitation, you should

510
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: watch it to gain a full appreciation for everything this

511
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: guy did it. It was remarkable that alone was his victory.

512
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: So good on him, and I'm glad he's able to

513
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: retire with peace of mind after having come back. Now

514
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: he will no longer have to ask himself for the

515
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: rest of his life, could I have come back from

516
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: that injury? Because he did it, and I think it's

517
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: a good way for him to ride off into the

518
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: sunset now. Former number one pick in the draft in

519
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, Alex Smith calls it a career.

520
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: Some free agency news and notes. TJ carry the free

521
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: agent cornerback that visited the Bills last week, resigned with

522
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: the Colts going right into the weekend last week, So

523
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: he is off the radar for the Bills in terms

524
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: of wanting to supplement their cornerback contingent. They were trying

525
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: to land Tjkerry, and reports were that the Bills were

526
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: making a strong push to sign him, but he goes

527
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: back to the Colts on a one year deal, so

528
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: he is no longer out there. And then finally, a

529
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: guy that Steve had his eye on in free agency

530
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: is visiting the Ravens today. What Steelers free agent offensive

531
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: tackle I'll hund Rove Villanueva is visiting the Ravens today,

532
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: which has now sparked some intrigue in Baltimore because there

533
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: has been talk since the early stages of the offseason

534
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: that they want to trade Orlando Brown. Orlando Brown has

535
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: asked for a trade because he wants to play left tackle.

536
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: We know that's a position that belongs to Ronnie Stanley,

537
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: who signed a long term contract last year and is

538
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. And Orlando Brown says, I am not

539
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: a right tackle. I am a left tackle. You need

540
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: to trade me in the final year of my rookie deal.

541
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: He obviously wants to make a giant contract somewhere else,

542
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, in years to come, and believes he can

543
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: best do that by playing left tackle for another NFL team.

544
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: To this point, the Ravens are not commenting on any

545
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: kind of trade proposals talks negotiations for Orlando Brown, but

546
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: now that Alejandro Villanueva is visiting the Ravens. There is

547
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: speculation that that might gain subtraction as we get closer

548
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: and closer to the draft. I think an Orlando Brown

549
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: trade is going to be happening on draft weekend, right

550
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: I probably, yeah. But let's remember it's gonna be a

551
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: one year deal. Well, he's got the final year of

552
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: his rookie contract. I think he's gonna say, I'm not

553
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: going there unless you sign me to an extension. Now,

554
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: I think he's looking to get his big second contract

555
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: that just say no then yeah, you know, and who knows,

556
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: that could be the what's coming up the works Right now,

557
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: he's adamant about getting a second contract. All these trade

558
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: partners are saying, well, how about he play here first

559
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about contract next year, And he's saying,

560
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: well for him, I don't know who's aging it. I

561
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 1: get holding a lot of cards, right, I get all

562
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: that you need to say, Hey, I'll go to whatever

563
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: you send me to a team and play, Yeah, play

564
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: for a year and then don't and then don't sign

565
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: the deal with that team, then go out on the market.

566
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you gotta do. Is certainly he's

567
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: played extremely well for the for the Ravens up to

568
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: this point. But I mean, you gotta bet on yourself. Man.

569
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: If you're gonna bet on yourself, you know, don't fold.

570
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: Don't fold your hand. Best thing you can do is

571
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: play lay. All right, We have to take a break here,

572
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we will set the table

573
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: for today's Twitter poll, which has something to do with

574
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: the Bills being atop the AFC East and the three

575
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: teams that are chasing them. We will bring that to

576
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: you next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid

577
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to

578
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: One Bills Live here on a Monday. Chris Brown, Steve

579
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: Tashterer with you as always, and we wanted to cover

580
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: some ground with you regarding the AFC East. We know

581
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: the Bills are the defending AFC East champions, but they

582
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: have three teams in their division who will all be

583
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: rafting in front of them as a result of that success.

584
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: And two of those teams have two draft choices each

585
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: in round one and will be picking before the Bills.

586
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: So the Dolphins at six and eighteen, the Jets at

587
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: two and twenty three, and the Patriots, currently in the

588
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: fifteen hole, all pick before Buffalo at thirty. So it

589
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: begs the question, knowing bless USTe, knowing that these teams

590
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: are trying to close the gap between themselves and the Bills,

591
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: which team is positioned to close the gap the fastest

592
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: in the AFC East on Buffalo, and let us know

593
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: why your choices are obvious. They're the three division opponents,

594
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Jets, and the Patriots, but they are

595
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: armed with a slew of draft choices. The Jets have

596
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: five picks in the top eighty six, the Bills have two.

597
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have five picks in the top eighty one,

598
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: Bills have two. So there really is if you draft well,

599
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: some of these teams can put themselves in a very

600
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: good position. Now, the early polling on the Twitter poll

601
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: has the Dolphins way out in front as the team

602
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: they feel positioned to best close the gap the fastest

603
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: on the Bills in the AFC East, almost seventy three

604
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: percent of the vote. That has probably rooted Steve in

605
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: the fact that they were a ten win team last

606
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: season just missed the playoffs. The Bills, though, have had

607
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: their way with the Dolphins. Man Josh is a dolphin killer.

608
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: He is a dolphin they let's face it, two the Dolphins,

609
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: for whatever you or me or anybody else thinks of

610
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: two a tongue of bolo. They're set at that spot.

611
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: The Patriots Seaman transition with Cam Newton at best, and

612
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: the Jets gonna have a rookie another rookie quarterback. That's correct.

613
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: That's I think goes into that seventy plus percent as

614
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 1: well of which team's gonna come closest to the Bills

615
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: or close the gap or in a better positions because

616
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have got that spot at least for now,

617
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: with a guy they think that can play. And that

618
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: while the you know, Patriots are playing paying Cam Newton

619
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: fifteen million bucks, he's still a one of one year

620
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: another one year deal, right, and there's a chance they

621
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback. Some are even speculating they make him

622
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: move up the board to draft one. A lot of

623
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: people are talking about Mac Jones for them. Yeah, I

624
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: believe Mac Jones for the Patriots, not for the Niners,

625
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah? At fifteen right, Yes,

626
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: and they've had a ton of success with a guy

627
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: that looks a lot like mac Jones, or plays like

628
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: mac jis, or mac Jones plays a lot like his style. Anyway,

629
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: I knew what he were saying, you know what I mean. Yeah,

630
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: he can't run. Brady couldn't run, he never had. Tom

631
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: mac Jones can't run. And but his and like Brady,

632
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: mac Jones's number one trait is his mind. And at

633
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: that kind that evaluation comes from a guy that Bill

634
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: Belichick trusts implicitly in Nick Saban, so that I believe

635
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: if if if the Patriots were at three, I would

636
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: almost you know, get the hammer and chisel out and

637
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: start carving that in because I think mac Jones is

638
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: their guy. Yeah, the question is does he make it

639
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: to fifteen? I with the way everybody's talking, it would

640
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: seem that it would not be the case where he

641
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: gets that far. I think there's a chance he gets

642
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: there to fifteen. I think there's a chance if the

643
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: Niners pass on him at three, the door is wide

644
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: open for him to slide that far. I think that's

645
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: not to say there are many other teams that would

646
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: be interested, but you know, Caroline has already out of

647
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: the quarterback market. Now that they have Darnold, they pick

648
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: at eight. What is Atlanta going to do at four?

649
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: Are they taking a quarterback in the future to sit

650
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: behind Matt Ryan for a year or two, or do

651
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: they try to help their offense and take one more

652
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: swing at it with Ryan at the helm. That's a

653
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: big if. So he gets past three and four, Jones

654
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: could slide to fifteen and then the Patriots could very

655
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: well take him. And then you have a scenario where

656
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: you ask yourself, is Newton the bridge quarterback or do

657
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: they have a Taysom Hill type situation right like they

658
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: did in New Orleans where Cam Newton is essentially Taysom

659
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Hill and mac Jones is Drew Brees. Right, So I

660
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: still think that is something that could happen that to

661
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: me is likely. You could see the Patriots doing something

662
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: with their quarterback position if they've got two guys that

663
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: are a little bit specialized or one that's inexperienced, and

664
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: then one who's got a different skill set completely like

665
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, which would be the case, and that's it

666
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: you could see. Could you not just see them platooning

667
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: those guys on and off the field and doing whatever creative,

668
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: funky thing they could come up with, and really really Steve.

669
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: The only quarterback that I can see sliding all the

670
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: way to fifteen is mac Jones. I don't think Lance,

671
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: with his elite physical traits, gets that far. I think

672
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: somebody goes up and nabs him, right. I don't think

673
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: anybody sits idly by and watches Trey Lance fall to

674
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots at fifteen. I think somebody well gets aggressive

675
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: and make something happen. It could be. It could be

676
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: Denver at nine. Atlanta at four is a possibility, although

677
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta would probably be more likely to take

678
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: a guy like Kyle Pitts to help, you know, uh,

679
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan in his latter years have a weapon. Denver,

680
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: Dallas isn't going to take a quarterback. Caroline is not

681
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback. Detroit is not taking a quarterback. The

682
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: Bengal are not taking a quarterback. Miami has not taking

683
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback. The Giants are not Philly maybe at twelve,

684
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: but if Philly's taken a quarterback at twelve, they don't

685
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: really have to justify not taking a quarterback. So if

686
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: if mac Jones is at twelve, how much would it

687
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: cost to New England Patriots to move up three or

688
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: four spots. Probably not, it's zero, I mean not much.

689
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: It would also depend on what's off the board at receiver,

690
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: because it's widely believed that the Eagles would look to

691
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: fortify their receiving cord to help Jalen Hurts. Well, they

692
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: could drop back right. But what I'm saying is if

693
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: Pitts is off the board, Davante Smith is off the board,

694
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: and mar chases off the board, it might prompt the

695
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: Eagles to say, well, let's let's back out a few spots.

696
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: It's really no difference if we move from twelve to fifteen.

697
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: If we get the receiver we want, that's great. Maybe

698
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: it's Jalen Waddle. Otherwise we're you're going to go in

699
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: this direction, So let's slide back. Let's recoup an extra pick.

700
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: See we can do. You know that kind of thing

701
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: with the New England Patriots at fifteen, You know the

702
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: team that the Patriots really need to worry about it

703
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: when it comes down, and then maybe there's a guy

704
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: there they want. The Patriots really need to worry about

705
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: the Vikings at fourteen. Oh you think, oh you think

706
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,959
Speaker 1: they would look for a successor to Kirk Cousins. How

707
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: good is he Yeah, well he throws for four thousand

708
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: yards every year and they don't win. Maybe they're also

709
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: a run first offense. Let's not forget that. Yeah, so

710
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is sitting there. They might go up to

711
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: twelve and say, hey, Philly, can we swap with you

712
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: twelve and fourteen. We'll take Trey Lance here. That guy's

713
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: already got a regional appeal up there, you know, playing

714
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: college ball not too far away at North Dakota State,

715
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: and they were a running offense. Yeah, if you get

716
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 1: a running quarterback, you might have something. I'm just saying

717
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: that there's a top. There's only the team the top,

718
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: the three teams at the top, Jacksonville, the Jets in

719
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco. San Francisco's got Garoppol. So anyway you go

720
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: down that list, they either just got their guy all

721
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: these teams, or they got a guy they just traded

722
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: for him. The Panthers and the Broncos their question mark

723
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: if they like, if they think Drew Locke is going

724
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: to take a step forward, and this would be his

725
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: third year, correct year three, yes, so maybe they're looking

726
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: for him to take another big step forward. But man,

727
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: oh man, I'll tell you what Denver is in a

728
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: division where they gotta they gotta get it going because

729
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: you're you're playing Herbert twice a year, and you're playing

730
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: Mahomes twice a year and Derek Carr twice a year,

731
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: and your quarterback is not measuring up Drew Locke. I mean,

732
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: you can take Micah Parsons and drop him in the

733
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: middle of your defense, and we know Vic Fangio knows

734
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: how to coach defense, but I don't think that's helping

735
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: you a whole lot against those three teams that were

736
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: at that point going to be winning games ten to

737
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: seven against the Chiefs, the Chargers, and it's the Raiders.

738
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: Is it hard for fans? Like it? Like in that

739
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: moment you just said that it's hard for me, and

740
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: I get too. We're gonna have We're gonna have Mike

741
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Renner on from Pro Football Focus later and they do

742
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: this nice thing where I say, it's nice they've evaluate

743
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: positional value likes. So you're in saying if the Broncos

744
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: draft Micah Parsons a linebacker and say, Okay, we're gonna

745
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: bolster our defense, is that one linebacker that high in

746
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: the draft gonna tilt the scale when they've gotten Mahomes

747
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: twice a year. Right, I don't see that. That's why

748
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks climb up the board, because that's I say, this

749
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: is the best way to impact our team. We gotta

750
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: get this guy. Now, that's like taking a you know,

751
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: it's taking a spoonful of water out of a bucket.

752
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't make that big a difference. Now,

753
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: if it was an edge rush or a guy that

754
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: can rush like a Bruce Smith, get the guy on

755
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: the ground, maybe you got a chance to, you know,

756
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: maybe get a handful of plays out of that guy.

757
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: That's gonna make a difference in a game. But man,

758
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: it feels like it feels like you're digging out of

759
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: a out of a strip mining hole, right with a

760
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: with a spoon. I mean you can't do it. I

761
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: mean drafting Moon references here, delivering delivering, delivering a delivering

762
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: at a linebacker and it's it's not gonna do enough,

763
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: go over like a lead balloon. And yeah, drafting defenders

764
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: in the league, that's how are you supposed to compete

765
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: in this division? When we take Micah Parson's ninth overall

766
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: and they've got Patrick Mahomes, justin Herbert and Derek Carr

767
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 1: chance in hell to make a difference here, right, Yeah,

768
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: you get it. I get it. So I think at

769
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: the top of the draft and I'm gonna ask, you know, PFN,

770
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: Mike Renter, this it really isn't true. I've never really

771
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: given it too much thought until I started reading doing

772
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: some research about it. If you took a corner, a

773
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: top flight one of those top corners, then you gotta

774
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: you got a case. Then you got a case then

775
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: because that guy can impact one of their main guys

776
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: on offense unless it's unless it affects they're off directly directly.

777
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: What are you getting for a first round pick? I

778
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: get it. We have to take a break, but jump

779
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: on the phones if you want to react on this.

780
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: Which team is positioned to close the gap the fastest

781
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: on the bills in the AFC East. You know what

782
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: your choices are, Let us know why. Eight oh three

783
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty

784
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: Get on board. We're going over the tweet sheet next.

785
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: Here on one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, It's

786
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown,

787
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, with you talking AFC East and the draft,

788
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,720
Speaker 1: which team in the division do you think is positioned

789
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: to close the gap the fastest on the Bills and why?

790
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: And we know that that might be a little premature,

791
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: but knowing the draft capital that teams like the Dolphins

792
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: and the Jets possess in round one and beyond, quite frankly,

793
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: they with true drafting, could put themselves quickly in a

794
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: position to certainly be more competitive, but how much more competitive?

795
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: How much can they close the gap on Buffalo? We

796
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: already know the free agency free that the Patriots went on.

797
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: They hold the fifteenth pick in the draft, and not

798
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot after that. They pick forty six and

799
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: ninety six. They have three fourth round picks, Steve the

800
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: Patriots do, which is interesting because a lot of people

801
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: feel that's where some of the best value in this

802
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: entire draft class lies. Interesting to see what they decide

803
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: to do there in the middle rounds. Although they have

804
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: not been a very successful middle round drafting club. Yeah,

805
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: they've struggled at different places in the draft a lot

806
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: of particularly actually in the first round and picking wide receivers.

807
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: But that the third and fourth round to me is

808
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: kind of the sweet spot in the NFL draft. A

809
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: player comes in with some traits, but without pressure to

810
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: play right away. You don't expect the guy to come

811
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: in and blow the doors off the league. A top

812
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: five pick, you kind of expect that depending on what

813
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: even what position he plays. But a third round or

814
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: fourth rounders like, okay, we'll see if the guy can play,

815
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: and that there's no pressure. It's like, well, let me

816
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: know how Most fans are like, let me know how

817
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: that third rounder is doing. I thought he's a pretty

818
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: good pick, whatever, whatever, But there's no media pressure. Fan

819
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: pressures say, you know, what the heck is the deal

820
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: with the third round pick? Why isn't he on the field,

821
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: what's he doing? Where's he going? You know, you could

822
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: put those guys on the practice squad. Nobody blinks an eye.

823
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: Let's just think about this. Devin Singletary, Zach Moss, Gabriel Davis. Yeah,

824
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean those are your third and fourth rounders each

825
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: of the last couple of years. It's interesting. There's value

826
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: to be had there. That's a that's pretty good contributions

827
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: now that you mentioned it, and running backs and a

828
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: receiver who gave you seven touchdowns as a rookie is

829
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: the fourth option in the offense and had three touchdowns.

830
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: Called back the thing about Gabe Davis, and we've talked

831
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: about this, and it goes under the radar. I don't

832
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: know if people understand that they bust out last year

833
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: after score nineteen and a half points a game in

834
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and they come out. I was like from

835
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: the opening series. They come out and they're in four

836
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: wide and the rookie wide receiver is Gabe Davis, and

837
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: he's the reason why. And we find yeah, we subsequently

838
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: find out the guy was so impressive and so smart,

839
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: and so they trusted him with his assignments and with

840
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: his route running and with his abilities as a rookie

841
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: right out of the game. Bang. Not only is he

842
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: on the field, he forces or entices whichever you want

843
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: to say, convinces an NFL coaching staff he's our best option.

844
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: Like week one rookie season, third round draft pick, Gabe Davis.

845
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: Here are your last six third and fourth round selections

846
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: by the Bills. Okay, as we mentioned, Zach Moss, Gabriel

847
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 1: Davis last year, previous year, two threes, Devin Singletary, Dawson

848
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: Knox year before Harrison Phillips, Taron Johnson. That's pretty good.

849
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: So forget about this number thirty pick. I want to

850
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: see who's number nine. Talk to me a day two

851
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: and day three. Who's the one on one? Talk to

852
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: me Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Who is the is?

853
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 1: They don't have a four right now though, the Bills.

854
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: That's the one thing. Although if they move up or

855
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: down the board somewhere, I suppose they could parlay themselves

856
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: into one. But let's get to the tweet sheet really quick,

857
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: just to kick it off here before we get to

858
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: the second hour of the program. Brought to you by

859
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

860
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and leading us off today is Adriana. When

861
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: asked which team is positioned to close the gap the

862
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: fastest on the Bills in the AFC East and why,

863
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: she says, I want to say the Dolphins because they're

864
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: so well coached with a lot of talent. But I

865
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 1: can't get out of my head the fact that our

866
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: second stringers wrecked them in a win and in game. Honestly,

867
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: I think the AFC East is just our division to

868
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: lose for the foreseeable future. It would be hard to

869
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: argue that. Now the interesting thing here, Steve, that I

870
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: think we're going to do, We're going to make this

871
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: an exercise. Well, this was a topic, Well this was well,

872
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: I know, but this is a different there's a mental exercise. Okay.

873
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: While we felt this was a worthwhile topic for today's

874
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: show to pitch to our listeners and viewers, I think

875
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: this is something we want to revisit post draft to

876
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: see how the feelings change, because I think they will

877
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,720
Speaker 1: based on who the Dolphins take at six and eighteen,

878
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: what the Patriots do at fifteen, whether they stay put,

879
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: whether they take a quarterback, whether they move up, and

880
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: maybe even the Jets could factor into to the people's

881
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: thinking and change the conversation a bit. People have been

882
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: absolutely to use Adrianna's term wrecking the Jets, piling on

883
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: the everybody's piling on Mark. Mark Schlareth has been barbing,

884
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: going back and forth. Heat absolutely trashed the Jets in

885
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: a take and on a podcast, and they came at

886
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 1: him and he just would not let up and could

887
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: just wrecked the entire organization. So, okay, it's it's that

888
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: season again when the Jets are picking the top five

889
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: of the d the montage again, I'm sure on nespn's

890
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: coverage of all the failed draft choices. Year after years,

891
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: they've traded year their top draft picks in the last

892
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: five of the last six years, five of their last

893
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: six first rountations are not on the roster. Those guys

894
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: could play Williams, Jamal Adams, Sheldon Richardson and you can

895
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: run down the list, Sam Darnold. It's just it's unbelievable.

896
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: It's a it's a cyclical pattern that defies logic, really does.

897
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: All right, we have to take a break. When we

898
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: come back your phone calls, we are wide open eight

899
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: O three oh five fifty one, eight to eight five

900
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Which team is positioned to close

901
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: the gap the fastest on the bills here in the

902
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: AFC East, And why you know what your choices are,

903
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: it's the three division rivals. Get on the line here

904
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: eight O three oh five fifty one, eight to eight

905
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty because we're taking your calls.

906
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: Next here on one Bills Live presented by Klaid to Health,

908
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,759

909
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you, Steve a blimp.

921
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: a while, it's been a little bit our number two

922
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: of the show here on a Monday, and we want

923
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: to get right to the phone to get your thoughts.

924
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: Open line for you at eight oh three oh five

925
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty Which

926
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: team is positioned to close the gap the fastest on

927
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: the Bills in the AFC East Dolphins, Jets, Patriots are

928
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: your obvious choices. Let us know why we lead off

929
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: today with John in West Seneca. John, what do you

930
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one bills live? Hey, guys,

931
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: how are you good? So? I think that the Patriots

932
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,760
Speaker 1: are probably I think the closest imminent thread at the moment.

933
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: I think you can see that they went seven and

934
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: nine last year in a COVID riddled season, and I

935
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: still think, you know, seven and nine is a respectable record.

936
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: I know it's not really to them from you know,

937
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: what they had beforehand, but I still think they went

938
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: seven and nine with I think a washed up Cam

939
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: Newton and a defense that had a ton of COVID

940
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: opt out. I think if they can maybe get you know,

941
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: at fifteen, a lance A Fields or Matt Jones, you know,

942
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe they can do something. And I know you guys

943
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: did say and that I do know that they do

944
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: have some trouble drafting a bride receiver, but maybe if

945
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: they can get kind of a second tier wide receiver

946
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: in the second round at forty six, maybe someone like

947
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: a Rashod Bateman or a Terrence Marshall or an Elijah Moore,

948
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that can you know, get the offense

949
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: to click a little bit more and like I said before,

950
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys on defense coming back,

951
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,919
Speaker 1: so you know, plus you know all of that. So yeah,

952
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, So you're doing it, John under the

953
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: guise of them probably looking to get a quarterback at fifteen.

954
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: That's your premise. Yeah, okay, yeah, I just wanted to.

955
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: I agree. So he's projecting quarterback for Patriots, that's what

956
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: and that's why I think, yeah, maybe not at fifteen,

957
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: but somewhere in there, they're gonna get one. And I

958
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: think he's probably right. Be real, man, I don't think

959
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: anybody's expecting one of those top four qbs to slide

960
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 1: all the way to fifteen, but maybe they're not thinking

961
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: about one of my guys. I think it might happen.

962
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: But I think if somebody starts sliding, I'm convinced somebody's

963
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: jumping up there. And maybe it's the Patriots that do it.

964
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: Like we were saying in the last hour, maybe they

965
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: go from fifteen to twelve or fifteen to eleven or

966
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: wherever they dropped from fifteen? Do they dropped that far?

967
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,439
Speaker 1: Those quarterbacks, the top four quarterbacks, I think if one

968
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: is sliding, you are going to see people climbing over

969
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: each other to get up there. Yeah, but we're probably

970
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: winning a long term with Cam Newton. You're not. You're

971
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: getting play long term, let alone win long term. He

972
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: had he struggled last year and he was bounced passes.

973
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like Magic Johnson would be the

974
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: amount of bounced pass out there. He was a struggled

975
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: to throw it like. I was shocked. It was stunning.

976
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: I was shocked and how poor. I was surprised they

977
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: resigned him, But I didn't think he was gonna be

978
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: in the league this year to at least as a star.

979
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a backup. He must have

980
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: been surprisingly a surprising fit in their locker room and

981
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 1: in the way they did things, the way he carried himself,

982
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: because he always comes off as this show off kind

983
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: of he is a showboat, yes, constant. I don't think

984
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: there's anything he wants the spot He loves the spotlight, um,

985
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: no question about it. And I that seems antithesis of

986
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: what would be the Patriot way, right a guy like that.

987
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: I think it was a surprising fit. I think they

988
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: were surprised about how hard he worked, about how much

989
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: time he put in, about his athleticism. And I'll tell

990
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: you what you can see why him walking around the site,

991
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: he looks like he's like standing nine feet too close

992
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 1: to the camera compared to giant human giant. He's so gifted.

993
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: I was. But like you, the ball just does not

994
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: come out of his hand properly anymore. It was that way.

995
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: Wonder if it's related to the shoulder surgeries. And you know,

996
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's taken the pounding up with as big

997
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: and strong and tough as he is, he has taken

998
00:56:55,600 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: a beating. But the ball and as well as it spins,

999
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,439
Speaker 1: you know, it comes, it just doesn't come out right.

1000
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: John brings up an interesting point though he mentioned, you know,

1001
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: getting maybe one more receiver. I agree. I think they

1002
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: do need another weapon, especially with the Julian Edelman retirement.

1003
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: Yes you signed Kendrick Bourne, Yes you signed Nelson Anguil,

1004
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: or you need something else. And this this draft, if

1005
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: it's deep anywhere, it's deep at slot receiver this year.

1006
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: Last year's receiver class deep on outside guys, this year's

1007
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: receiver class deep in the slot that could help him.

1008
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: What do you think the chances are the Patriots get

1009
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: up there and they deal a couple of picks and

1010
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: then they deal a guy like Steph Gilmore to get

1011
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: up good you know what I mean they could because

1012
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: I think with them getting their their players back off

1013
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: COVID list and off the opt outs, Uh, they will,

1014
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: you know they'll have and you know here's our pick fifteen.

1015
00:57:53,920 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: Gilmore's on the deal. I'm telling you right now, big

1016
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: cap hit. You swap fifteen and Stefan Gilmore, you can

1017
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: get up to six, seven, eight. I think you can

1018
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: get up that high. Maybe you got to throw in

1019
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: a five. I mean they have three fourth round picks,

1020
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: so maybe you give up fifteen one of your four's

1021
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore, you can get into top ten. I think

1022
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: with that on the team, I think you might be

1023
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: able to get Denver take a corner like Steph Gilmore

1024
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: at nine at their yea as their defense at their

1025
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: head coach. Yeah, there's yeah, that's that's interesting. But you

1026
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: bring up a good point with Gilmore though, I think

1027
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be packaged if they didn't need to get

1028
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: up the board. The Patriots, because they don't have the

1029
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: draft capital to do, they always get rid of those

1030
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: guys early, rather earlier, rather than a year or two late. Yep,

1031
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: we know that one. All right, back to the phones.

1032
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jesse and Buffalo. Jesse, what do you

1033
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey guys, Um,

1034
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: I agree with the last guy. I think it's going

1035
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: to be the Patriots. Um, because yeah, Miami won ten

1036
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: games last season, but not all with two US. They

1037
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: have fits to think for a couple of games. And

1038
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: I just don't think that he's going to be the

1039
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: long term answer. And I believe Patriots are just a

1040
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: quarterback away. They just if they can get Mac Jones

1041
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: or maybe somehow finagal uh Jimmy g out of uh

1042
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco. I think they can. They're in the best

1043
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: spot to close the gap. And the Jets of about them.

1044
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: Think about this, and you might be right, Jesse. No

1045
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: one believes in the Jet. All these things are happening.

1046
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: I get it, but um, who knows if you know,

1047
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: if they've got Jimmy g if the if this forty

1048
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: nine ers pick their guy, whoever it is Mac Jones, Lance,

1049
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: Trey Lance or Justin Fields, they pick him, and then

1050
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: what happens if that if the Niners decide to go

1051
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: to the Patriots and say, we'll give you Jimmy G

1052
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: for your fifteen pick now, so we can have two

1053
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: tip picks in the top twenty as Niners top fifteen,

1054
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: and you get your quarterback in Jimmy G. I could

1055
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: see him doing it. I don't know if they want

1056
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: to give up a one for him. The general consensus

1057
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: is Jimmy gets you a two and I think the

1058
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: market is now depressed. And Jesse, thanks for the call.

1059
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I think the market is now depressed after what the

1060
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Jets were able to get for a former top three

1061
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and Sam Darnold. They got a

1062
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: two four next year and is six this year for

1063
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: a former number three pick in the draft. I don't

1064
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are parting with pick fifteen well for

1065
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy G a proven quarterback. What however much you saved

1066
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy she's proven or not. He's injury prone, but he's

1067
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: actually a pretty good quarterback when he's healthy. Think about

1068
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: what the Bears offered for Russell Wilson three ones right

1069
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: and think and we don't even know all of what

1070
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: was offered for Deshaun Watson before every all the news

1071
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: broken in Houston about that, which cooled off that market

1072
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: really quick. Yeah that when when the Patriots made that

1073
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: pick with then made that trade with the nine ors

1074
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: three years ago, they only got a two for Garoppolo.

1075
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: So I can't see them three years later with a

1076
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: lengthy injury history on Garoppolo giving up the fifteenth pick

1077
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: in the draft for him. I don't know. I just

1078
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: can't see. I can't get them. Well, okay, but if

1079
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: it's not the one, may give him the two. You

1080
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: know what, you know what, I'll give you pick forty

1081
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: either way. Making that deal happen for the Patriots is

1082
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: what is the is the crux of it. Whatever they

1083
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: have to give up, and I would. I'm telling you

1084
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: right now, I tend to agree with the first two

1085
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: callers we've had on the show. I think the Patriots

1086
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: are the biggest threat because this is my issue, and

1087
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: you and I are two detractors of two. I don't

1088
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: think I'm talking out of school by speaking for you

1089
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: on that. I think people say, oh, wow, the Dolphins

1090
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: were a ten win team last year. Yeah, they were.

1091
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: You know who won five of the games, Ryan Fitzpatrick one.

1092
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: He had to pull out of the fire to keep

1093
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: them in playoff contention against the Raiders late in the season.

1094
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: So Fitz has five of those ten wins last year.

1095
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that. Let me ask you this, and

1096
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: this is a hypothetical. If your Bills fan, are you

1097
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: more afraid of playing Cam Newton or two A tonga Iloa.

1098
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm more afraid of playing who the quarterback could be

1099
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: for the Patriots besides Cam Newton, right Like, if it

1100
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: is Trey Lance, if it is Jimmy well, maybe not

1101
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: so much. Jimmy really yeah, I don't know. He doesn't

1102
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: fear into me. I think the Patriots would successfully maximize

1103
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: what Jimmy G could be. Yes, So I guess from

1104
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: that standpoint, if you, if you're forcing me to pick

1105
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: between Jimmy G, Cam Newton Jimmy G with the Patriots,

1106
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm forcing you to pick between Cam Newton and two

1107
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: I am frightened of neither of you or yes, okay,

1108
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: but I think the Patriots could be more threatening if

1109
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: they draft one of the top four quarterbacks. I think

1110
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots more threatening with Cam than the Dolphins are

1111
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: with Tuah even with all the draft picks They've got

1112
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: a young and if, if, even if the Patriots do

1113
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: draft one of these guys, I'm a young rookie quarterback.

1114
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't scare me. For twenty twenty one, twenty twenty one,

1115
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't scare me. He's gonna take him a minute

1116
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: to get up and running, and the Bills are good

1117
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: enough defensively and sharp enough in the back end to

1118
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: give him all kinds of problems recognizing what's going on

1119
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: out there. Okay, So a young quarterback for the Patriots

1120
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: doesn't scare me as much as Cam does. And Cam's

1121
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: scares me with the Patriots scares me more than Tuah

1122
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: does with the Dolphins. Now, what happens if by hook

1123
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: or by crook, the Patriots end up with Trey Lance,

1124
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: the guy who's been compared to Josh Allen. I think

1125
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,919
Speaker 1: people got well. I think they're gonna be problems. They're

1126
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem, a big problem with Trey Lance.

1127
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: And they're gonna get there pretty quickly too, because you

1128
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: know how they'll they'll make it simple for him in

1129
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: the first month, add a little to it in the

1130
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: second month he's not ready. They'll have Cam there to

1131
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: shepherd and through it. They'll they'll do Vanilla, but they'll

1132
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: want to change the offense. They're gonna do a lot

1133
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: of stuff offensively for him that will make it easy

1134
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: for him. In the first month, that'll be a little

1135
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: bit harder, a little bit more complicated, and put some

1136
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,479
Speaker 1: wrinkles in. In In the second month, third month, they're gonna

1137
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: take a step forward, you know, and by the end

1138
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: of the season, it's gonna be like they got another

1139
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: they got another guy. It's gonna be a chore. Yeah,

1140
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: that is the fear. Um Maybe fear is a strong word.

1141
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: That's the concern that I would have, you know, being

1142
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo's camp. Who do they get if they get

1143
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback? It's the whole Should we be concerned? Yeah?

1144
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,479
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is just shy seventy years old, but he's

1145
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 1: still formidable. Yeah. I think he gives them every advantage.

1146
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: It'll be very intriguing to see what lengths the page

1147
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: its are willing to go to get another quarterback in

1148
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: the door, whether it's a veteran that's suddenly available via trade,

1149
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: or if they can somehow maneuver their way into getting

1150
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: one of the top four quarterbacks in this year's class.

1151
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: What if they don't, What are they gonna do if

1152
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: they don't take a quarter don't get one, they're gonna

1153
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: have a trade, becomes more a ton more space. They

1154
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: got a ton more cap space to use for other

1155
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: things in there in the game. I think they try

1156
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: to price somebody out of some other team's roster, you know,

1157
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: whether it's probably Garoppolo, because you know San Francisco is

1158
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: going to end up with a quarterback at three. They're

1159
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: going to end up with one who is the presumptive

1160
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks too, if you're the San Francisco for the NIS.

1161
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: And there's certain things that come out of that kind

1162
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: of ring true to me. And they said, Jimmy G

1163
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: is our guy this year, which means he's not going

1164
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: to be next year, but he is this year? Is he? Though?

1165
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I think he might be? Okay, I think he got

1166
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: a guy out there who does not want to take

1167
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: an enormous step back, but wants to have a reason

1168
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: to hold a young quarterback in check, to say, Okay,

1169
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: learn this, see what this guy's doing, do that, and

1170
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: do that, and do that, and then of course you

1171
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: go al, he's got the chance where he's gonna be

1172
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: thrust in there because Jimmy G breaks and then it's like, okay,

1173
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: got a little bit of a tent because of Jimmy

1174
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: G's injury. They can pull him back out and put

1175
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy G back, you know that kind of thing. There's

1176
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: not He's not going to be bestowed the starting not

1177
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: until after the season's over, until next offseason. And I

1178
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: think that takes a lot of pressure, even if the number,

1179
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: even if he is the number three pick of the draft.

1180
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: So I think that's a believe me, from the Niners perspective,

1181
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: this is all about them for that they're not thinking

1182
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: about Jimmy G to the Patriots and all that and

1183
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: all our problems over here in the AFC. They could

1184
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 1: not possibly care less. They want to keep a good

1185
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: player on their roster like if they can. Yeah, and

1186
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Is that eight oh three five fifty one

1187
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two, five fifty open line

1188
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: for you? Which team is positioned to close the gap

1189
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the fast? It's on the Bills in the AFC East,

1190
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,959
Speaker 1: And why Rusty on the tweet sheet says, I still

1191
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: think it's the Dolphins with all those picks in the

1192
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: next few years and a solid d although he smoked

1193
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: it in Week seventeen. If they get two of some

1194
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: weapons and he takes a step in year two, they

1195
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: will be right there. If to A can't step up,

1196
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: they can replace him next year. Let's rebuild that rivalry.

1197
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: So he's saying, it's the Dolphins under the guise of

1198
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: ta taking a step, and I have to be a

1199
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: sizeable step, and then I have more confidence in the

1200
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins building around Toah in the draft than I do

1201
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: in Tua taking the next step. Like I think the

1202
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna do everything in their power and draft

1203
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: pretty astutely to properly build the thing around to The

1204
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: number one question mark for me is still too Yeah,

1205
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: And if he's still a question mark, they're not going

1206
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: to compete. G bran Flores has impressed all of us

1207
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: who've watched that team in this division of certainly around

1208
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: the conference, around the NFL, of what he was able

1209
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: to get out of that roster last year, the things

1210
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: he's done with the Miami Dolphins since he's been there.

1211
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: But I think here's what I really think about the

1212
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: draft in general. It's crazy for one team or another

1213
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,759
Speaker 1: to think they're gonna draft better than anybody else everybody

1214
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: else because they all have the exact same information. They

1215
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: know these guys. They talk to the same people, they

1216
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: watch the same workouts, they watch the same film, They

1217
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: evaluate talent, they do interviews, they talk to the guys

1218
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: they want to talk to. They all of that stuff.

1219
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: So if you think you're gonna come out with some

1220
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: magic elics or that's gonna make your draft better than

1221
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: everybody else's, well you may do that on one guy,

1222
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,679
Speaker 1: but sure you're not going to do it on eight

1223
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: guys that you're drafting, or at fifty or you know

1224
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: three hundred guys that are in the pool that are

1225
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted. So yeah, you may cast a wide

1226
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: net and get thirteen picks, but the same ratio of

1227
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: guys good and bad are gonna be in your pool.

1228
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: So it's not like just because the Dolphins have all

1229
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: of these picks that they're gonna get better. They're gonna

1230
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,680
Speaker 1: have some guys with some traits, no question, but they're

1231
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna have the same boom or bust ratio as everybody else.

1232
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: That's the way that it's kind of the way the

1233
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: draft works. You'll hit a stretch like, for instance, I'll

1234
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: give an example, twenty eleven or ten or eleven is

1235
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: when the Seahawks had a draft boom. They get three

1236
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: starters on their defense off of Richard Sherman, Cam j R.

1237
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: kJ right, they got they got like three guys that

1238
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: turned out bang and they got them to a Super

1239
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: Bowl and a couple of super Bowls they won one

1240
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: of them. And then they got the quarterback. They got

1241
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson in those two drafts. They had like three

1242
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:51,520
Speaker 1: really big time starters in two drafts. Camp they were unbelievable.

1243
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Well then they you know, Russ got paid. Then they

1244
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: couldn't keep them all there. They had to make some

1245
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: choices because they couldn't. They don't just plug in more guy.

1246
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: They can't just draft to replace them, because their drafts

1247
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: subsequently were like everybody else's. So yeah, Miami's got all

1248
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: these draft picks. Draft picks don't line up on Sunday.

1249
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Players do. And those players got to show up after

1250
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: being in college for sometimes two years and play with

1251
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: grown men. It's a hard transition. It takes some time,

1252
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: even if they're good, and some of them haven't even

1253
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: played in a calendar year in college. Sixteen months, think

1254
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: about that transition. In April, the last of April, it

1255
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: will be like almost seventeen months since we've seen some

1256
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: of these. Last time you were on a football fields,

1257
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: you were twenty. Now you're playing with thirty year olds.

1258
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: Have fun out there, buddy, you know what I mean?

1259
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna people's eyes are gonna be falling out

1260
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: of their heads in that rookie pool when they step

1261
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: on the field and he put on pads. Yeah. Rachel

1262
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, I think it's the Pats.

1263
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: Even with Cam at quarterback and all their injuries last year,

1264
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: they still beat a few quality teams and almost beat

1265
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: us the first time. Belichick doesn't get enough credit for

1266
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: managing seven wins last year with that team, and now

1267
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: we'll have an improved roster this year. They have rebuilt

1268
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: the defense. I don't think there's any question about that.

1269
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Whether Stefan Gilmour remains a part of it or not

1270
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: is a big question. I think if he gets through

1271
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: draft weekend without getting traded away, the chances are decent

1272
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,839
Speaker 1: that he is still a part of that defense going forward,

1273
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: although anything's possible. Belichick could be in a bad mood

1274
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: one week, can send him somewhere. Yeah, but they also

1275
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: have you know Jackson, the other corner. Jac Jackson he's

1276
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:40,640
Speaker 1: a really good player. Now he struggled against our guys

1277
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: and does that to people, and it's not going to

1278
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: get easier with Emmanuel Sanders. If Sanders stays healthy, this

1279
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:49,640
Speaker 1: is going to be another year where the Bills are

1280
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: gonna line it up and say, you bet you better

1281
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: go deep in your depth at cornerback because we're going

1282
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: to test it. Gabe Davis is coming back. They've got

1283
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: and they've got Kumero in the in the stable. They've

1284
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 1: got Isaiah Hodgens, who I can't wait to see that

1285
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: guy play. I mean, Brian Dable might be wishing he

1286
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: could line up six wideouts, a big double move guy.

1287
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 1: He's also big, ye he's six four. Him and Kumero

1288
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: you can him out there. I'm like going, who are

1289
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: those guys? And I'm like, Kumarro and wow, they're tall. Yeah,

1290
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 1: so you put them out there. You got Dawson Knox

1291
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: out there. Game Davis isn't a shrimp either, so you

1292
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: got something. Got some red zone targets. I really like

1293
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is a red zone target and you know

1294
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: everybody knows he would listen to this show. I've got

1295
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: this man crush on the three of Dawson Knox, who

1296
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened. He's ready to turn it into a reality.

1297
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm right. So so I'm like, there, man, opportunity knock.

1298
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: I am the new I'm gonna I'm gonna hammer on that.

1299
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hammer on that like I'm gonna own that

1300
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: until it makes me look stupid, and then I'm gonna say,

1301
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 1: speak it into existence, tell you it was your idea.

1302
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: She thinks I'm gonna convince you of that, but I've

1303
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: got that. I think that's gonna be this kind of year.

1304
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: So this offense for the Bills is gonna is gonna

1305
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 1: light it up again. And I think you gotta look

1306
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: at this division in that way. Can the Dolphins light

1307
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: it up? Can the Patriots light it up? Can the

1308
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: Jets light it up? To keep up with these guys?

1309
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: And right now, Patriots maybe with the free agent signings

1310
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: they had, they're gonna they're gonna be able to score

1311
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,520
Speaker 1: more points they did that, They're gonna be more efficient offensively.

1312
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: The Dolphins. Yeah, I don't know. So I'm thinking I'm

1313
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: leaning towards the Patriots on this, just like some of

1314
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 1: our listeners are about half of them is either Patriots

1315
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: or Dolphins. Oddly enough, nobody's picking the Jets, so we'll see.

1316
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: But you get what I'm saying, right, you gotta think

1317
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: what is it gonna take to close the gap with

1318
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 1: the Bills. And I'm I'm thinking with the guys, the

1319
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: way this team looks right this minute, you're gonna have

1320
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: to score to keep up with this team. And that

1321
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: means to me you need some experience at quarterback, and

1322
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: you need some weapons. And they went out and got

1323
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: him in free agency. I think the Patriots are the

1324
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: ones that are sitting pretty to do that. Break time

1325
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: for us. We will revisit some more of your comments

1326
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet in short order. But when we

1327
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: come back, it's time for a little lunch. What's for lunch?

1328
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: What's on the menu? Steve and I will pick and

1329
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: choose when we return here On One Bill's Line, presented

1330
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:44,440
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. It's

1331
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: time here on a Monday for a little lunch. Steve.

1332
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: I know we usually gobble our lunches down before we

1333
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 1: even get to air, because the last thing we want

1334
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 1: to be doing is spitting food out of our teeth.

1335
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: For the three hour program. This is a different kind

1336
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: of lunch. This is an NFL lunch menu, if you will,

1337
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:05,760
Speaker 1: where Steve and I picked some things off a menu

1338
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: and given a choice, and so first on the menu

1339
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Steve an appetizer, if you will. Which team has the

1340
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: better pass rush duo? Is it Cleveland with Jajavian Clowney

1341
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: where they just signed last week along with Myles Garrett,

1342
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 1: the two former number one picks in the draft, by

1343
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: the way, Or is it Tampa Bay's Shack Barrett and

1344
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul, two late round draft choices who are overachievers. Go,

1345
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: you're asking me, which would you pick for lunch? Here?

1346
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: I'll take the guys who won the Super Bowl, one

1347
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 1: of them a couple of times, and who just did

1348
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: it against the best offense in football, albeit with a

1349
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: depleted offensive line because of injury, over a guy who

1350
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: has bounced around the league as an underachiever and has

1351
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: not been able to find a home in a year

1352
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: where you should have been able to find a home. Yeah,

1353
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: and Myles Garrett, Now, Miles Garrett. I like him. He's

1354
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,959
Speaker 1: a good player, but yeah, he's basically in this contest

1355
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 1: by himself. I have a hard time trusting Clowney. Right,

1356
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: That's where I come down on this. I'll take overachievers

1357
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 1: who I know what I'm going to get out of

1358
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: him every single week over that kind of talent that

1359
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: doesn't meet the expectation any day of the week. So

1360
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: give me Barrett, give me Pierre Paul. I'll go to

1361
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: bat with those guys, just because Clowney's a part of

1362
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: the other equation. I like Garat too. I think he's

1363
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: got his head on straight for the most part. But

1364
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Clowney's I just I don't trust him. I just can't

1365
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 1: well get there. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm so I'd

1366
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: go with the guys who are proven and proven recently,

1367
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think both of them have some stuff in

1368
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 1: the tank lift despite that they're both older than either

1369
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,839
Speaker 1: of these two guys. Well, perhaps not older than Clowney,

1370
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, next on the menu for you, Steve. Sam

1371
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Darnold will have better success in Carolina than he did

1372
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Yes, or I say, yes, this is

1373
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: pretty easy. Yeah, I mean he was with the Jets.

1374
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: They like like a free egg roll here, but they're

1375
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: handing me here. Sam Donald's gonna have more success with

1376
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: the Jets. I mean it comes with the Jeff here exactly.

1377
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna play well for Carolina. I have a lot

1378
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: of faith in coaches coming from the college, right, like

1379
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: Matt Rule. He's a great motivator. He's gonna put a

1380
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: good roster around him. I think they'll they'll give Donald

1381
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: and they'll stick to what he does best. They'll find

1382
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: out about him, they'll and they'll expand his repertoire. I

1383
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: think he's gonna play well. I think he's gonna play

1384
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: better in Carolina than he did in New York. I

1385
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: think the only thing he's got to cut back on

1386
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: are the interceptions, but I think that was partially a

1387
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: byproduct of trying too hard to make things happen in

1388
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: a woeful situation. Um. But Joe Brady, the offensive coordinator there,

1389
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: who came from LSU and worked with Joe Burrow, I

1390
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 1: think he's going to help Sam Darnold an awful lot.

1391
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: I think he hits the ground running and has maybe

1392
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: not a banner season, but I think he has a

1393
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: successful season with you know, a good looking touchdown interception ratio.

1394
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: He's got a familiar guy there in Robbie Anderson, who

1395
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: we had success with prior with the Jets. So yeah,

1396
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: I think he is unquestionably going to have better success.

1397
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 1: The bar isn't very high. Let's let's be on him. Yeah,

1398
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: where he starting from. I mean the bar is at

1399
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 1: his kneecaps. They don't have to go very far to

1400
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 1: if he doesn't if he doesn't get Mono, if he right,

1401
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,439
Speaker 1: they don't have a coaching change. They don't have a

1402
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: coaching change. If he has the same coordinator, you know,

1403
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: if he's got a head coach instead of a play caller.

1404
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, the whole, the whole. He's got a

1405
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: better running back behind him from the old the old

1406
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: kitten caboodle is better down there. It's I think it's

1407
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: a healthy situation for him. I'm I'm actually happy for

1408
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: him because I thought he was in a no win

1409
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 1: situation in New York and as the face of the franchise,

1410
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: he had to bear the front of the lack of

1411
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: success there, and I think he was standing waist deep

1412
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: in mud and had no chance of getting out of it. Yeah,

1413
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,799
Speaker 1: all right, we moved to the main courses now here. Steve,

1414
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 1: the NFL should or should not allow defensive backs, linebackers

1415
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 1: and running backs to wear single digit numbers. This is

1416
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 1: part of a proposal that has been made to the

1417
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: league's owners, and they'll be fielding this a little bit later.

1418
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to put a little more fun

1419
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: back in the game. Let them wear them. Yeah, I

1420
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 1: don't have an issue with that at all. I don't care.

1421
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 1: We had Connor Or on our show last week from

1422
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: si dot com and asked him about that, because he

1423
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 1: had written a piece on it, and he said, yeah,

1424
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: outside the lineman, you know, outside of the offensive lineman

1425
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: and the defensive lineman, have a party with it. Man. Yeah,

1426
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: let me make it fun, you know. I mean Dion

1427
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 1: Sanders wore two in college, but he couldn't wear it

1428
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: in the pros. He had to wear twenty one. Um.

1429
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: I think it'd be cool seeing some of those guys.

1430
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: I like unusual numbers that the college players wear. You know,

1431
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: you got a linebacker wearing number three. It's right, I

1432
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 1: get it. I don't have a problem. Why not. I mean,

1433
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 1: they're defenders. It's that you don't have to worry about that.

1434
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: I don't think it's not like it used to be

1435
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:23,839
Speaker 1: at Yeah, anybody who's not eligible, you know, on offense

1436
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: the meaning offensive linemen will have them in the fifties,

1437
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: sixties and seventies, and on the defensive side of the ball,

1438
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: put the big heavy guys down and put them in

1439
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: big numbers. But everybody else linebackers, dbs, wide receivers, tight ends,

1440
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: running backs qbs where what they want. And he used

1441
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:47,799
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, you know it wasn't Marion Motley

1442
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,520
Speaker 1: was like number seventy seven. He was a running battogram

1443
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: number sixty. Yeah, okay, I don't care. Let them go. Yeah,

1444
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: I think it'd be fun, be kind of like a

1445
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 1: fun twist. It said, all kinds of merchandise records, probably

1446
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 1: because everybody's got a new number. They picked this, they

1447
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: picked that, and sell more merch you know, business wise,

1448
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: it makes sense too, It's all about the money. Next

1449
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 1: on the menu, Steve, which team needs to draft a

1450
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:17,600
Speaker 1: quarterback more the Broncos of the Patriots. We were just

1451
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: having this discussion, Steve. How ironic that here it is

1452
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 1: on the menu. It's prepared for it. I haven't given

1453
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: this much thought. No, I say the Patriots, but I

1454
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:35,640
Speaker 1: would think they need a quarterback more. Why more than

1455
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: the Broncos? Yeah, because Drew Locke is younger, and he's

1456
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 1: still young, and I think they need to get him.

1457
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, I'd give him another year. Cam's only

1458
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: got one year. They gotta have a guy in the

1459
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: Patriots need a guy in the pipeline. Even if Cam's

1460
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: gonna play every snap this season, you need a guy

1461
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,640
Speaker 1: in there getting ready to step in next year. And

1462
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be picking fifteen next year. So I

1463
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,440
Speaker 1: think that it's up. It's more crucial for the Patriots.

1464
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: And and I'll say this too, the Broncos have been

1465
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: notorious under John Elway out there of running through quarterbacks

1466
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: fast and I and I've gone on record on this

1467
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: show saying I don't have a problem with that. The

1468
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: guy pulling the strings out there is John Elway, and

1469
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: he knows what he's looking at. That's why he went

1470
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: and got Peyton and they went to They should have

1471
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: gone Listen, think about it. They should have gone to

1472
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: four Super Bowls with Peyton manning four and they got

1473
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: to two. They went to two, one, one. They should

1474
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: have gone to four because that's how good they were

1475
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 1: with Peyton manning there. And yeah, because Elway knew what

1476
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: he was looking at in a quarterback, even with Peyton

1477
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,799
Speaker 1: Manning being half speed and had told you that Peyton

1478
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: Manning was a good quarterback. His problem is not being

1479
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 1: able to identify who's going to be the next good quarterback. Well,

1480
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 1: because he's Tim Tebow, identifying him being able to get

1481
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 1: your hand. M Tebow is not John is not John Elway.

1482
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: That was Josh McDaniels, who they got a new coach.

1483
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: I gave him some straining. He came in and did

1484
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: that accent lynches on him. Yeah, that's all everybody is.

1485
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: But what are his other options though? I mean certainly

1486
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: you can say, well he didn't grab Lamar Jackson. You

1487
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: think John Elway, after the career he had and what

1488
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 1: he thinks the quarterbacks should look like, he's gonna pick

1489
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He's gonna pass on him, just like all

1490
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: other thirty two teams. Yeah, I don't know. Here's my

1491
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: point was, I got a lot of missus. That's my own,

1492
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,680
Speaker 1: so is everybody else. But you know why I like

1493
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: that he keeps swinging. He keeps swinging, and he doesn't

1494
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: stick with a with a dead horse. If a guy

1495
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 1: can't win, get somebody. He knows how important that spot

1496
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: is and if that guy's not gonna do it, and

1497
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: he knows. And once you get him in your building

1498
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: and you get to know who they are and how

1499
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: they're working and what they know and what they do

1500
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: know and what they're supposed to do and what they're

1501
01:23:55,200 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: not doing, and he evaluates them top to bottom. You

1502
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 1: gotta cut bait man. Yeah, brock O Spoiler was the

1503
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 1: other miss second round pick, but still so I'm yeah,

1504
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 1: so I'm to me, I think if you identify that guy,

1505
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: you gotta find every way any way you can to

1506
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: get him. And maybe it's the maybe we're looking at

1507
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: this wrong way. Maybe it's the page. Maybe it's the

1508
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:24,680
Speaker 1: Broncos that jump up and grab trade with forty nine

1509
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: ers for Garoppolo or somebody they might or they may

1510
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: just go up a couple of spots to get whoever

1511
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 1: the fourth guy is that maybe slid a little bit

1512
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 1: trade with the Bengals or whatever. Well that, yeah, then

1513
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: you have to get up to five. But even well,

1514
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: they got six to nine right now, they're at nine.

1515
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,799
Speaker 1: You go up to seven. Maybe somebody slides to seven.

1516
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Dolphins aren't taking somebody at six, right,

1517
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: So and so if if one of those four quarterbacks.

1518
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: Gets past Atlanta at four, you know Cincinnati's not taking

1519
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback at five and Miami isn't at six, you

1520
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:02,680
Speaker 1: immediately get on the phone call pick seven, right, I

1521
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:06,759
Speaker 1: mean that's where that's where you're going at that point.

1522
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: Whoever's sitting at who is sitting at seven? I can't

1523
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 1: even remember now, I couldn't tell. I'm I'm trying to

1524
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: get this. Yeah, Detroit, you go, Detroit, Detroit. They moved

1525
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: from seven to nine. Detroit, they got Jared Goff. They're

1526
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 1: paying a gazillion dollars taking a quarterback. They're looking to

1527
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: get the guy. Help. Yeah, how far does Kyle Pitts fall?

1528
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 1: If Atlanta doesn't take him at four, be take he

1529
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 1: doesn't get past six. The Bengals might take him, although

1530
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: they need to tackle bad to protect Burrow so he

1531
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get past six. Dolphins take him to heartbeat. And

1532
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: that is my greatest fear with the Dolphins. When you

1533
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,719
Speaker 1: talk about them closing the gap on the Bills, don't

1534
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: because if they take Pitts at six and then get

1535
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle at eighteen, and now they've got an

1536
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:15,560
Speaker 1: offensive line to protect Tuah and now on the outside

1537
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: they've got will Fuller and DeVante Parker. They still have

1538
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: Presston Williams, the tall six six kid, and then they

1539
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: got Gisicky and Kyle Pitts as their two tight ends.

1540
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: That's an issue. Who how many people are you're throwing

1541
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 1: out there to defend those guys and how fast do

1542
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: they all run? They they all better be sub four

1543
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: four because that's a problem. I really don't want Kyle

1544
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: Pitts in the division. I am. I am hoping. I

1545
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: don't want any good, good players in the division other

1546
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: than your own, you know, but I don't know. That

1547
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: doesn't really that doesn't doesn't doesn't resonate with you. It

1548
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:58,480
Speaker 1: does not resonate with me. Tell me about OJ Howard, Yeah,

1549
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean he was the same thing you are not. Man.

1550
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Steve, of all of the people

1551
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: out there in the NFL universe, you might be the

1552
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: number one guy that is just not sold on Kyle Pitts.

1553
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 1: And if you're right, you're gonna look like a super genius. Well,

1554
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm right or wrong, but I'm

1555
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 1: not investing it. You don't like what history says Kyle

1556
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 1: Pitts could be. You had two tight ends taken last

1557
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 1: year in a year where there was no no tight ends,

1558
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: but two tight ess jumped up and it was Fan,

1559
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:35,160
Speaker 1: it was Hockinson and whoever the other guy was from

1560
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Noah Fan. I was two years ago, right, I was

1561
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: last year. They were rookies last two years ago? Is

1562
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: he d Oliver draft? Okay, they're just guys. They're just guys.

1563
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: And they were like, oh, you gotta. And we had

1564
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 1: people call on this show, a you gotta. They're just guys,

1565
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 1: you know. And you can say that about Dawson Knox

1566
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: to this point of his career. But there's only what

1567
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: are the two tight end there's only two tight ends

1568
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: George Kittle, Travis Kelsey, who Waller it Darren Waller and

1569
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 1: then who I don't know. I'd have to go down

1570
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: the list. But there's some guys out there, for sure. Yeah,

1571
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: there's some guys, but you know, gronk down hot, super elite.

1572
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: I get it. I know what you're saying, but it

1573
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: takes so much to play that game from the neck

1574
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: up and and it just supersedes everything from the neck down.

1575
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: And you know that's so they draft from the neck

1576
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,679
Speaker 1: down and the neck up betrays them. That's that's generally

1577
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that right, it'll be interesting to see.

1578
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna be probably the first non quarterback off the board.

1579
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm not allowed. I'm not I take him.

1580
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: Let Miami take him. Okay, we'll see. Careful which wish right?

1581
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: Break time for us twenty five touchdowns? He's like, that

1582
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 1: was what that was? What's for lunch? More of your

1601
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: spending some time in the pool, kicking it in the

1602
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 1: hot tub. Is we legal in idea? I haven't kept

1603
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:37,680
Speaker 1: my ear to the ground up. They go, like everybody,

1604
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:41,280
Speaker 1: so they print the Rams put this out and in

1605
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 1: every picture they put out, there's a big thing rocket

1606
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: mortgage there. Their sponsors. So the Rams ain't shilling out

1607
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: any money for that place, right, It's right, it's it's

1608
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:56,799
Speaker 1: their sponsor, their sponsor. That's so. But last year Cliff

1609
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: Kingsbury made ways because he had that he was in

1610
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 1: his house because everything was remote right there. All the

1611
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:04,839
Speaker 1: coaches were in their house. And last year Cliff Kingsbury

1612
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,240
Speaker 1: tweets out a picture of what his house was and

1613
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, it was nice. I gotta tell

1614
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 1: you it was nice. It was nicer than the Rams place.

1615
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. Now. The location on the beach, Okay,

1616

1617
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: funny thing was when the Rams tweeted this out, they

1618
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 1: finished it by saying, your move, Cliff, right right, you

1619
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: talk about it, and how about Cliff Kingsbury living rent free?

1620
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 1: In their head? That was pretty cool. So, yes, the

1621
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 1: Rams do not pick until number fifty seven. The draft

1622
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 1: starts round tweek from Thursday. They picked sometime in May,

1623
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:47,600
Speaker 1: well right before May. Right, maybe they're just probably they

Speaker 1: have They don't even have. They're not even gonna be

1626

Speaker 1: pick fifty seven and round two and then eighty eight

1628
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: and one oh three in round three. Yeah, and two

1629
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 1: of the six picks they have were awarded compensatories. They

1630
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 1: only had four before they got their compensatories. It's like

1631

01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 1: pizza and mcvay's gonna be peeling off money. Like, hold on,

1660
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: we're thinking about tackle. There's corner here. They're gonna catch

1661
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 1: him in an awkward moment. Yeah, get me a slice

1662
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 1: of pepperoni. But hold on, we gotta decide on the

1663
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 1: corner or telling you that the joint is not you.

1664
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 1: You gotta tip your hat to it. It's a nice

1665
01:33:56,200 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: place right on Malibu Beach. But you know, yeah, great,

1666
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 1: you can you can monetize. That's very la very la

1667
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: in every way, shape and form. We have to take

1668
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back. Pro Football Focus lead

1669
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 1: draft analyst Michael Renner will be joining us. Has some

1670
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 1: very interesting analytic looks at this year's draft, including value

1671
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,759
Speaker 1: on the board, positions to go for by round based

1672
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 1: on those values. He also pegs the best position groups

1673
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 1: in terms of value in this year's class. We'll talk

1674
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,680
Speaker 1: with him about all of that when we return here.

1675
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:35,719
Speaker 1: On One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

1676

Speaker 1: Bills Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been all

1677
01:34:57,360 --> 01:34:59,360
Speaker 1: over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of

1678
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 1: a dual role pleader for Steve. Steve a blimp. We're

1679
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:11,680
Speaker 1: not even in the strated here of normalcy. Here. We

1680
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: welcome to our number three of a Monday edition of

1681
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Chris Brown. Steve Tasker with you and

1682
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 1: joining us on the line right now, as promised. He

1683
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,760
Speaker 1: is the lead draft analyst for Pro Football Focused, also

1684
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: the co host of the two for one Draft podcast,

1685
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 1: which is a title of a podcast that I'm jealous of. Man,

1686
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think of that one. It is. It's one

1687
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: Michael Rener joining us on the line. Very clever title

1688
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 1: for a podcast. So good for you on that, Mike.

1689
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:39,880
Speaker 1: How you doing. You're ready for the draft, kid? You

1690
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 1: can happen tomorrow. I'm ready for it to happen yesterday.

1691
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 1: And how about you? I'm more than ready. Although I do,

1692
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 1: I will say the lead up is kind of where

1693
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: I make my money. So the fact that it's this long,

1694
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing. One. Yeah, it's probably as

1695
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 1: late as it's ever been. I mean, April twenty ninth

1696
01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 1: and thirtieth you're really You're right at the end of

1697
01:35:58,360 --> 01:35:59,760
Speaker 1: the month there, and that's as late as a go.

1698
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,719
Speaker 1: I think this is the first time the draft stretches

1699
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:06,679
Speaker 1: into May. But in any event, we were intrigued by

1700
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:10,600
Speaker 1: some of your recent columns, one of which was finding

1701
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: Value in the Draft, and I guess what I liked

1702
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 1: about it was you kind of used the war analytic

1703
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 1: to apply to positions, and you kind of tiered the positions.

1704
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 1: The question is, how do you tear that and then

1705
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 1: apply it to a specific draft class and a team's

1706
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 1: specific needs as you go pick by pick through the round.

1707
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Have you I'm sure you've taken it that far. Yeah,

1708
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 1: it's difficult because again, you can say, in sort of

1709
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: a vacuum that as safety as a valuable position, but

1710
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 1: then if your scheme only uses a safety a certain role,

1711
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 1: well maybe it's not as valuable for you. So it's

1712
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:54,160
Speaker 1: kind of an overarching look at positional value across the NFL.

1713
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:58,720
Speaker 1: And basically the biggest takeaway my opinion from kind of

1714
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 1: that article is at the expensive positions are the ones

1715
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 1: you should be targeting early on in the draft, the

1716
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:07,920
Speaker 1: ones that once you get to free agency you're gonna

1717
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,639
Speaker 1: have to pay fifteen twenty million dollars to go get

1718
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 1: are the ones you should be targeting early on, whether

1719
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 1: that's defensive end, cornerback, wide receiver obviously quarterback as well

1720
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 1: offensive tackle. The ones that if you need to find elsewhere,

1721
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 1: you're going to pay an arm and a leg for.

1722
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 1: Whereas I think you know Bills fans know you can.

1723
01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,320
Speaker 1: You can find safeties, even though we say safeties valuable position.

1724
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:30,800
Speaker 1: You can go out and find a Jordan ployer and

1725
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:32,559
Speaker 1: it might a hide for not too much. In free agency,

1726
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 1: you can go and find one of the best centers

1727
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:36,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL and much Moore's for not even as

1728
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: much as some average edge defenders are getting in free

1729
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:42,600
Speaker 1: agency this offseason. So I think that's one of the

1730
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 1: biggest takeaways is to look at the salary cap implications

1731
01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 1: of who you're drafting there early on on the draft

1732
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 1: and how much kind of money that's saving you on

1733
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:53,720
Speaker 1: that compared to that second contract. Yeah. The interesting thing

1734
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 1: is every draft is different, so it's a it's a

1735
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 1: question of which important positions are available in the draft

1736
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 1: and which ones are scarce as well. You have to

1737
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 1: play how many how many players in that position or

1738
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 1: a position that you're going to draft or available that

1739
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 1: can actually be worthy of that pick. What are some

1740
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 1: of the positions in this draft that you say maybe

1741
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 1: your high value but also very scarce. I think defensive

1742
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,280
Speaker 1: tackle is quite obviously the biggest one. You know, every down,

1743
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: defensive tackle can be very valuable. Those guys get paid

1744
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 1: a lot of money. We just saw Leonard Williams get

1745
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: over twenty million dollars a year from the Giants this

1746
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: past offseason. There's only really one that we call the

1747
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 1: first rounder, and that's Christian Barmore from Alabama. So I

1748
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 1: would expect him to go a little bit higher than

1749
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:40,639
Speaker 1: maybe people are projecting, because if you don't get him,

1750
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get anybody that's really going to be

1751
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,680
Speaker 1: a three down impact or defensive tackle. There's just not

1752
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 1: a lot in this class. So I think that's the

1753
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 1: one position where I said, if you're not getting bar More,

1754
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 1: I might just pass on it because they go a

1755
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 1: lot of guys are gonna get drafted higher than they

1756
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 1: probably should because of that scarcity. And the interesting one

1757
01:38:56,720 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 1: that I saw was offensive tackle Mike because I think

1758
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 1: we all knew there weren't really top many top ten

1759
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 1: talents this year at the tackle position, maybe with the

1760
01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:11,360
Speaker 1: exception of Sewell and possibly Slater, but it's it's the

1761
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:14,599
Speaker 1: volume and the depth of the tackle class, right, That's

1762
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: what has it ranked so high this year. Yeah, So

1763
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 1: the tackle class, I believe it's one of the You

1764
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 1: got the quarterbacks, the wide receivers, and the tackles all

1765
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: some of the best classes we've seen those respective positions

1766
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 1: in the past seven years since we started doing this

1767
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 1: for the twenty fifteen draft, So it's and like you said,

1768
01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 1: there's by two guys at the top and Swool and

1769
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:34,680
Speaker 1: Slater that are kind of top ten. So it's not

1770
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,599
Speaker 1: like last year where there are four or five guys

1771
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 1: people who were saying these are top ten sort of guys.

1772
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 1: And then you know Tristan Worst faults all the way

1773
01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 1: at thirteen, and obviously the Bucks benefited from that. There's

1774
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 1: just a lot of guys that I consider first rounders.

1775
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 1: I think there's eleven of the top fifty on our

1776
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 1: PFF draft board. Our offensive tackles. That's just a rarity,

1777
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 1: and there's you can count on one hand the amount

1778
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,599
Speaker 1: of teams that don't need offensive tackles. So I think

1779
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: this is the year if you do need a tackle,

1780
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: or if even need to guard and may need to

1781
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 1: tackle down the road. This is the year to take

1782
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:05,840
Speaker 1: advantage of that class because later in the first round

1783
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 1: you should still be getting guys that any other year

1784
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:11,360
Speaker 1: could go middle of the first round if there wasn't

1785
01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:13,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys ahead of them or a bunch

1786
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:15,320
Speaker 1: of talent in this tackle draft class. And I know

1787
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:17,639
Speaker 1: you did a mock probably three to four weeks ago,

1788
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 1: now it was even before the San Francisco trade up

1789
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 1: to three, but you had the Bills looking at tackles

1790
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: when I think you mocked Tevin Jenkins to them, and

1791
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 1: even Vera Tucker, who well, I'll be surprised if he's there,

1792
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: but Jenkins certainly has a chance to be there. So

1793
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,800
Speaker 1: do you think that that's an area where really good

1794
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 1: value could be had at the tackle position? To your point,

1795
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 1: I do, And in scenario I look hard at if

1796
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 1: I were the Buffalo Bills as a guy who can't

1797
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 1: play tackle but then can also play guard early on,

1798
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 1: because obviously they have a couple starting tackles in toe

1799
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,400
Speaker 1: right now in Buffalo, and guard would be the more

1800
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 1: striking position of need right now. But getting guys that

1801
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: can eventually play tackle obviously then stave you that sort

1802
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:03,679
Speaker 1: of money and saves you that is a big help

1803
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 1: in the long run. So that's where that would be

1804
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:07,600
Speaker 1: my first look. Everyone obviously wants to pencil them and

1805
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:09,760
Speaker 1: running back, and there's a few good guys in this

1806
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: running back class, but to me, that's where we're talking

1807
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,439
Speaker 1: about value off the top here, the value is the

1808
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 1: offensive tackles in this draft class, and Tevin Jenkins is

1809
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 1: the one who makes the most sense from a guy

1810
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: who can step into guard right away with what he

1811
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 1: did in the running game on his tape at Oklahoma State.

1812
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:28,040
Speaker 1: Where you get in the NFL where it's a throwing league,

1813
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:30,679
Speaker 1: it's an offensive league, and defense, if you can find

1814
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 1: a good defense, it's well, it's it's rare because it's

1815
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 1: the league is set up for teams to score points, right,

1816
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 1: they're going to throw it all over the yard. Running

1817
01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:40,880
Speaker 1: Backs have been devalued in the current in this current

1818
01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: point in history, but the wide receivers not only have

1819
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 1: they been more valuable, there's also a big supply coming

1820
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:49,799
Speaker 1: out of college. It seems like every year, last handful

1821
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 1: of years, almost every year it's like, wow, this is

1822
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,120
Speaker 1: a great receiver class. Oh, so's this one and so's

1823
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:56,320
Speaker 1: the next one. What are your thoughts on this year's

1824
01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 1: wide receiver class and also the scarcity of top quality

1825
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:03,679
Speaker 1: running actually coming out. Yeah, I think it's just indicative

1826
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:06,240
Speaker 1: of where the game's going. You know. One, there's not

1827
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 1: as many big two hundred and thirty pound running backs

1828
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 1: and throwbacks. A lot of the guys in this's running

1829
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 1: back class are around two hundred pounds. Just more guys

1830
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,559
Speaker 1: playing in space more often, and a lot of times

1831
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 1: those running backs kind of bridge the gap between running

1832
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 1: back and wide receiver. As we've seen in years pass

1833
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: as well. This year's wide receiver class, though, it's right

1834
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: up there with last years. I think last year I

1835
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 1: had more true outside type of wide receivers. This year's

1836
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: got more speed, more undersized slot types that can get

1837
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: vertical in your offense. And so it's kind of a

1838
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 1: picker poison, what do you want? But it's a very

1839
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 1: very good wide receiver class. And as we saw last year,

1840
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:41,559
Speaker 1: Pick twenty three, Justin Jefferson comes off the board, breaks

1841
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 1: the rookie receiving record. He wasn't even you know, one

1842
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 1: of the first three wide receivers. He was fifth wide receiver.

1843
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:48,240
Speaker 1: I believe off the board in that draft class that's

1844
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 1: what you can get again and this year's draft class,

1845
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:51,719
Speaker 1: because there's so much talent, you can get guys falling

1846
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:54,120
Speaker 1: all the way into Day two. Possibly that could come

1847
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:56,000
Speaker 1: in and put up a thousand yards right away because

1848
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:59,759
Speaker 1: it's that talented. These guys are hitting the NFL more

1849
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: you tested than ever. These guys have been running routes

1850
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 1: and getting the ball pumped to them ever since they

1851
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:07,920
Speaker 1: were in seventh eighth grade. Now with the way seven

1852
01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:09,880
Speaker 1: on seven is blown up. So I do think that

1853
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:12,760
Speaker 1: the wide receiver classes and the influx wide receiver talents

1854
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 1: and no real fluke in the NFL there, Mike, do

1855
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 1: you see receivers coming off the board any differently because

1856
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:24,680
Speaker 1: there is such a heavy presence of slot receivers in

1857
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:27,920
Speaker 1: the class, or do so many teams just play predominantly

1858
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: eleven personnel is really not going to have an impact

1859
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 1: that they're inside guys as opposed to outside. Now, I

1860
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 1: think they're still going to be fairly coveted. The only

1861
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: thing I could feasibly see is again teams maybe in

1862
01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 1: the top ten to twelve, kind of like we saw

1863
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 1: last year, not wanting to take a wide receiver, knowing that, hey,

1864
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:46,920
Speaker 1: we can get a guy at tick forty. You know,

1865
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 1: at the top of the second round, we can still

1866
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 1: get a guy. We might not be able to get

1867
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 1: that defensive tackle though, that defensive end kind of what

1868
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 1: we talked about, the scarcity of other positions, and so

1869
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:56,600
Speaker 1: you pass on them in the first round knowing that

1870
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:58,240
Speaker 1: in the second round you'll be able to go and

1871
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 1: get one. But I don't think that you're gonna see

1872
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 1: these guys fall too far the top fifty. Even guys

1873
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 1: like ron Dale Moore's five foot seven. I think you're

1874
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 1: still going to see him go pretty high, just because

1875
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 1: of how dynamic all these guys are, and you know

1876
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,000
Speaker 1: how athletic they can be in your offense. Yeah, the

1877
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:14,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And we're sitting here, we're chewing on the

1878
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills day and night. Brownie and I we've been talking.

1879
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 1: We're going back and forth between a cornerback defensively a

1880
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:24,599
Speaker 1: CB two to go across from Tredavious White, or maybe

1881
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman, offensive tackle, slash guard, that kind of thing.

1882
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: You get down to thirty, though, and there are so

1883
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 1: many moving part at least thirty moving parts up ahead

1884
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: of you before you pick. Give us a rundown on

1885
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 1: your take on the top of the draft. Which of

1886
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: those two and which the quality players of each of

1887
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 1: those positions, either offensive line or corner. Where's the best

1888
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,759
Speaker 1: player gonna be available at those spots, and dealing towards

1889
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 1: corner because it's a more valuable position. It is tough,

1890
01:44:57,680 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: and like I said, it's a good problem to have

1891
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 1: Sidney at pick thirty. Usually that's where you want to

1892
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:03,840
Speaker 1: be drafting, is around that area of the draft, So

1893
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 1: it's a good problem to have. But for me, I

1894
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:09,479
Speaker 1: think cornerback is the one i'd lean because I do

1895
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:13,519
Speaker 1: see a big gap between guys in the top the

1896
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:15,680
Speaker 1: top five guys on the PFF draft board, which is

1897
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 1: Patrick shirt Tam from Alabama, Jc Horn from South Carolina,

1898
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 1: Greg Newsom from Northwestern, Caleb Farther from g Tech, and

1899
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 1: Asante Sama from Florida State. I see a big gap

1900
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 1: between those five and then basically the cornerback six. So

1901
01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 1: if you're looking on the draft board, there ad pick

1902
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: thirty and one of those guys is available, very possible

1903
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 1: that that's the case. I'm going to get into one

1904
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 1: of them, because you're not going to find a guy

1905
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,679
Speaker 1: quite like that in the second round. Whereas guard talent,

1906
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 1: which is I think where the Buffalo Bills would go. Yeah,

1907
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 1: you could draft a guy who's a tackle, put him

1908
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 1: inside a guard and having to be the long term

1909
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:49,479
Speaker 1: future at tackle. But you can still find guards easier

1910
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 1: later on the draft if you know there's if there

1911
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: is a cornerback available in the first round that you like,

1912
01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 1: Whereas I'm not sure a third round corner or second

1913
01:45:57,479 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 1: round corner that late in the second round you're gonna

1914
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:01,600
Speaker 1: feel great about pluging and playing him right away. I

1915
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 1: do think a guard you could much worrisly find at

1916
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah. My fear, Mike is the corner run

1917
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:10,400
Speaker 1: starts a little bit before the Bills are even on

1918
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 1: the clock. Because you have Tennessee at twenty two. You

1919
01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:14,160
Speaker 1: can make an argument for corner for them. With the

1920
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 1: way they've completely revamped their secondary this offseason. We know

1921
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:21,760
Speaker 1: the Jets need fifty corners with this as barren as

1922
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: the cupboard is there Pittsburgh. I know everybody's talking about

1923
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:27,639
Speaker 1: running back for them, but you can make an argument

1924
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 1: for corner for them after they cut Stephen Nelson Jacksonville

1925
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 1: the same thing at twenty five. I mean, even New

1926
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 1: Orleans in Green Bay would pick right before the Bills.

1927
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:39,040
Speaker 1: You can make an argument for corner there. So I

1928
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 1: worry that they're going to miss out. So the question

1929
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:44,240
Speaker 1: here is, Mike, what do you think the chances are

1930
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:48,240
Speaker 1: the Bills just move out around one entirely knowing that

1931
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 1: every year there seems to be teams at the top

1932
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:52,800
Speaker 1: of the second round looking to get a jump on

1933
01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 1: everybody else on day two and move into the bottom

1934
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,920
Speaker 1: of the first Do you think Brandon Bean's phone might

1935
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:02,400
Speaker 1: be ringing there at thirty I do. And now the

1936
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 1: fifth year option isn't kind of what it once was

1937
01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 1: under the new CBA, with it now being guaranteed at

1938
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:11,759
Speaker 1: the point of X it's exercise. But I do think

1939
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:15,240
Speaker 1: that if the cornerbacks are done, I think you get

1940
01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 1: much more value and kind of fill out this roster

1941
01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 1: better by just moving on to day two, because I

1942
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: do think that this sort of uncertainty and this classes

1943
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,559
Speaker 1: more so than ever some of these guys that are

1944
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 1: going to be drafted round one we saw for three

1945
01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:30,439
Speaker 1: hundred snaps last year, maybe not even any snaps with you,

1946
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:32,640
Speaker 1: how few games were played in the Big Ten and

1947
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,000
Speaker 1: all the opt outs we had across college football, to

1948
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 1: where you didn't see a guy play, you really don't know.

1949
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 1: You know, you really don't know what you're getting if

1950
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: you didn't see him play a full schedule. And so

1951
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:43,320
Speaker 1: I think the uncertainty is going to make me want

1952
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:46,439
Speaker 1: to take more chances at positions rather than lock myself

1953
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: into that one guy that I think is going to

1954
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:53,320
Speaker 1: be it. So I would endorse that wholeheartedly. We've had

1955
01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:55,719
Speaker 1: a lot of conversations about the top of this draft,

1956
01:47:55,800 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 1: certainly Trevor Lawrence number one, and now it looks Zach

1957
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 1: Wilson number two, and we're Brownie and I are both

1958
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: thinking the draft really starts at pick number three with

1959
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,680
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. If they take a

1960
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:13,320
Speaker 1: quarterback and you're Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch, which of

1961
01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 1: the three remaining guys is the guy you pick? I'd

1962
01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:21,800
Speaker 1: go Justin Fields, the Ohio State quarterback. To me, he's

1963
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:25,600
Speaker 1: the most accurate of those after the top two. He's

1964
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 1: easily I mean, the most athletic, are right up there

1965
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:30,640
Speaker 1: at Trey Lance in terms of what he can do athletically.

1966
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 1: Ran a four four three at his pro day is

1967
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 1: a legit threatened running game. You can add that to you,

1968
01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:40,960
Speaker 1: and I mean he dominated at Ohio State. He played

1969
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 1: really well this past year in the playoffs, like against

1970
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:46,479
Speaker 1: Cleanson single handily, not sing Glandle, but like he himself

1971
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 1: came out and won that game four Ohio State with

1972
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 1: his performance. There's some bad on his tape, guess, but

1973
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,759
Speaker 1: I think what he can do opens up that offense

1974
01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:58,640
Speaker 1: so much more than what a Mac Jones can do.

1975
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 1: The Trey Lance I can get can see getting enticed

1976
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 1: by his tools because the man's got canon. But Fields,

1977
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,160
Speaker 1: you've almost you've seen him do it like you've seen

1978
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 1: him do it at a really high level there in

1979
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 1: a Power five conference. I'm just very surprised at the

1980
01:49:11,120 --> 01:49:14,320
Speaker 1: conversation around Fields right now not considering him in that

1981
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 1: kind of echelon up there with Wilson in terms of

1982
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 1: how good he is as a prospect. Talking to Mike Renner,

1983
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:23,479
Speaker 1: lead draft analysts for Pro Football Focus, and Mike, the

1984
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:27,519
Speaker 1: topic we're kicking around here today is the other three

1985
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC East are now chasing the Bills,

1986
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 1: and a lot of them have more draft capital than

1987
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:35,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo does. At least two of the teams do, as

1988
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:37,920
Speaker 1: we know, because Miami and the Jets are going to

1989
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 1: pick twice before the Bills are even on the clock

1990
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,680
Speaker 1: in round one. So who do you think, with the

1991
01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:46,280
Speaker 1: draft capital afforded them, maybe stands the best chance of

1992
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 1: closing the gap on the Bills as defending division champs.

1993
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:54,879
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins do, obviously, for a couple of reasons.

1994
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:57,840
Speaker 1: One is just the absurd amount draft capital that they

1995
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 1: do have Sitting there with the number six overall pick,

1996
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:03,280
Speaker 1: can get a blue shift type of receiving talent and

1997
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: either a cal Pits or Jamar Chase, which I think

1998
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:09,479
Speaker 1: while they moved back up and then they made obviously

1999
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: some more moves as off season, But to it's talking

2000
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 1: about Lowell going from year one to year two, they

2001
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:15,320
Speaker 1: already kind of got that guy last year if he

2002
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,280
Speaker 1: really was as advertised, and makes that second year lead,

2003
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, a year and a half now, two years

2004
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:24,120
Speaker 1: removed from that catastrophic hip injury, and becomes the player

2005
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,120
Speaker 1: that they obviously thought they were getting when the draft

2006
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:28,680
Speaker 1: from fifth overall, That in and of itself makes a

2007
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:30,840
Speaker 1: massive leave for your franchise, and obviously they're going to

2008
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,400
Speaker 1: surround him with as much receiving talent, hopefully address that

2009
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 1: offensive line as well. And so I do think that's

2010
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 1: the team I'd be worried about because they not only

2011
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 1: have draft apple now in this year's draft, but the

2012
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 1: trade they made they got someone next year, it's in

2013
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 1: the year after that, so they'll be sitting with first

2014
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,480
Speaker 1: round picks for a while to be able to replenish

2015
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: with a tony of young talent. And when you got

2016
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:52,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback on a rookie deal, as Bill spans, no,

2017
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 1: you can go out and spend big in free agencies.

2018
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 1: So maybe it's not this year that they did it,

2019
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:57,680
Speaker 1: but maybe next year they'll be able to outlive more

2020
01:50:57,680 --> 01:50:59,200
Speaker 1: money and free to see and start to make moves.

2021
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 1: When the other team in the division, New Orleans or

2022
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 1: England Patriots, what do you think if they really want

2023
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback in this draft, are they going

2024
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 1: to have to move off of fifteen to get one

2025
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 1: of the one of the guys. Because we're going down

2026
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: the list, it doesn't seem too many, like too many

2027
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:18,639
Speaker 1: teams between you know, San Francisco and that draft pick

2028
01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:21,879
Speaker 1: at fifteen that are really obviously going to get a quarterback.

2029
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 1: Do you think the Patriots can move up or will

2030
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: they have to move up to get a guy that

2031
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 1: can play. I think they will, but it's not because

2032
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:33,280
Speaker 1: those teams drafting ahead of moments. Because Washington Chicago sitting

2033
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:35,519
Speaker 1: there in nineteen twenty, they're going to be looking to

2034
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 1: move up to and they're not the only ones who

2035
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 1: need a quarterback or who are going to be in

2036
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 1: the market for a quarterback. And I do think ultimately

2037
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots move up, like I think that's kind of

2038
01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 1: the plan here to make all this free agency spending work.

2039
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:50,000
Speaker 1: Was the second most money out late ever in free

2040
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 1: agency in terms of guaranteed money. That doesn't work if

2041
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:54,160
Speaker 1: you got to pay a guy a lot of money.

2042
01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:56,479
Speaker 1: If Cam Newton plays well this next year, they got

2043
01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 1: to pay them a lot of money after this one

2044
01:51:57,960 --> 01:51:59,680
Speaker 1: year deal. So I do think that they're going to

2045
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:02,520
Speaker 1: be in market for a quarterback on a rookie contract

2046
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:04,600
Speaker 1: to be able to pay all these free guys a

2047
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:07,439
Speaker 1: free agency and kind of make this all work. And

2048
01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:09,680
Speaker 1: they're not going to be draft in top ten next year.

2049
01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:11,360
Speaker 1: It's what there is the plan, you know, with how

2050
01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 1: much money they spent, so they're never going to be

2051
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: in a better spot to go attack this quarterback lass,

2052
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 1: so I do think you'll see them make a move.

2053
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,640
Speaker 1: Last one for me, Mike, And again I'm referencing your

2054
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 1: mock draft, which was all the way back in late March,

2055
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 1: so forgive me if some of your preferences have changed here.

2056
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,720
Speaker 1: But you had Jalen Phillips lasting all the way to

2057
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: pick thirty two to Tampa, which my eyes almost popped

2058
01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 1: out of my head because I can't see the Bills

2059
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 1: passing on a talent like that. And I know they're

2060
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,559
Speaker 1: loaded up at the edge position and they have a

2061
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:43,600
Speaker 1: lot of money invested there, but they also need more production.

2062
01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:46,519
Speaker 1: They just were flat out not good enough with their

2063
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:50,720
Speaker 1: pass rushing getting home last year. Do you still believe

2064
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 1: he lasts that long or are there still some question

2065
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,599
Speaker 1: marks about his injury history? And you know the transfer

2066
01:52:56,640 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 1: from UCLA. Yeah, that's the biggest thing is obviously going

2067
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 1: to be as medicals. How comfortable are teams with a

2068
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:08,200
Speaker 1: guy who's already retired from football because of the concussions.

2069
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 1: And I think I had him going to the Bucks

2070
01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 1: because teams that are in win now mode don't really

2071
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 1: care if you guys going to retire in three or

2072
01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:18,519
Speaker 1: four years. They don't have to take that into account.

2073
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,040
Speaker 1: They want a guy who's going to impact the field

2074
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 1: right away. So I do think he will not be

2075
01:53:23,080 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 1: in the plans of teams in minor rebuilds or teams

2076
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 1: planning ahead for the future. You would probably more than

2077
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:30,240
Speaker 1: likely take that guy if your board. But if you're

2078
01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 1: looking for a guy who can impact it right now,

2079
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 1: you might be the best bet as a defensive end

2080
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,559
Speaker 1: in this draft class. So we've heard a lot of

2081
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 1: talk about in this draft class about where these quarterbacks

2082
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:40,479
Speaker 1: are going. There's a lot of people projecting it to

2083
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 1: maybe you know, they may go quarterbacks. Top three picks

2084
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 1: of this draft. In nineteen eighty three, six guys were

2085
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:49,480
Speaker 1: taken in the first round of the draft at quarterback.

2086
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 1: What's a likelihood that all five of these top cornerbacks

2087
01:53:55,920 --> 01:54:01,200
Speaker 1: get taken in the first round A cornerbacks, yes, or

2088
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 1: corners corner okay, all five of the top corners. That

2089
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:08,639
Speaker 1: the one kind of there's two wild cards. I think

2090
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:12,600
Speaker 1: Certan Horn Newstum those guys are off the board in

2091
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 1: the top twenty five picks easily. I think to get

2092
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 1: one of those who're gonna have to go up a

2093
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 1: little bit. But Farley with the back injury, you know,

2094
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 1: multiple back surgeries before he even enters the draft, that's

2095
01:54:24,240 --> 01:54:26,439
Speaker 1: obviously going to be scary for a lot of teams.

2096
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 1: And it's not like back injuries all of a sudden heel.

2097
01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 1: That's just something you're gonna have to deal with over

2098
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 1: the course of his career. And then Samuel, it's not

2099
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:36,240
Speaker 1: to see him with the floor staate guy five ft

2100
01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:38,880
Speaker 1: ten barely scraping, you know, not gonna hit a lot

2101
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 1: of teams hike cutoffs at that position. Ultimately, though, I

2102
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 1: think all five do go. I think the desperation at

2103
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: cornerback is that real, and I think Farley and Samuel

2104
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:51,040
Speaker 1: their tape is good enough to kind of smooth out

2105
01:54:51,080 --> 01:54:54,879
Speaker 1: and not to overlook some maybe injury or size concerns.

2106
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:56,680
Speaker 1: Those guys can flat out play, So I do think

2107
01:54:56,720 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 1: you'll see five cornerbacks go in the first round. Mike,

2108
01:54:59,600 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 1: thanks always for the time. I know you'll enjoy the draft,

2109
01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 1: so I don't even have to tell you to do that,

2110
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:07,000
Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye out for your thoughts on it. Though.

2111
01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:09,680
Speaker 1: As we moved through this remainder of the pre draft

2112
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 1: process and We'll be keeping an eye out for what

2113
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 1: you think of afterwards. Thanks for the time for sure, fellas.

2114
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:16,760
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Have you going all right? That's

2115
01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: NFL draft analyst for Pro Football Focus, Michael Renner. He's

2116
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:24,720
Speaker 1: their lead draft analysts also co hosts the two for

2117
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 1: one Drafts podcast. I ask him again, I got the

2118
01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:28,760
Speaker 1: reason I started talking about quarterback. You hear quarterbacks. You

2119
01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 1: know it's a ton of quarterbacks going to go on

2120
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 1: the first round. I don't care because we're not, well,

2121
01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 1: we don't need one. Yeah, but corner? Will there be

2122
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:40,640
Speaker 1: five corners taken? I think that's a very real possibility. Maybe,

2123
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 1: I think so. Maybe, But the Bills would be in

2124
01:55:43,320 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 1: that mix. I ran down the list of the guys

2125
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 1: the teams in the twenties that absolutely need one. I

2126
01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 1: mean Tennessee, but they're not on the basically took a

2127
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 1: TNT plunger to their entire secondary. I get you, But

2128
01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:56,880
Speaker 1: there's also those teams. Some of those teams also have

2129
01:55:56,920 --> 01:55:59,480
Speaker 1: other needs they do, and you're right too, and the

2130
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:01,920
Speaker 1: things if some of those teams have the same knees,

2131
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 1: like like offensive line, they're gonna be able to get

2132
01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Later in this draft, they're gonna be able

2133
01:56:08,120 --> 01:56:09,840
Speaker 1: to get at that position, right, They're gonna be able

2134
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 1: to get some of these guys later. Wide receiver, they're

2135
01:56:12,080 --> 01:56:14,919
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get one of those guys later. Um,

2136
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 1: other you know, other position groups will see the uh

2137
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:23,080
Speaker 1: interior offensive lineman, you can get one of those guys later.

2138
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:25,600
Speaker 1: Corner you know there's five us. The linebacker you can

2139
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 1: get later in this draft. Tight End, there's it's a

2140
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 1: bad tight end class. There's not very many behind a

2141
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:34,520
Speaker 1: lot of Kyle Pits. And then it's just what Pat

2142
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 1: Friar muth and yeah, yeah, you can't even really say

2143
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 1: that it's quality over quantity. You don't have quantity and

2144
01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:45,280
Speaker 1: you don't have a whole lot of quality at tight

2145
01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:48,840
Speaker 1: end this year. You don't have either rights besides your

2146
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:51,280
Speaker 1: man crush in Kyle Pitts. Well, I don't. I don't

2147
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:53,480
Speaker 1: have the man crush. I'm just saying he's he's a

2148
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 1: supreme talent, and he's gonna go early. He's gonna go

2149
01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 1: in the top five somewhere. Yeah. I So my point is,

2150
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:05,240
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be enough scarcity at certain positions, certainly,

2151
01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 1: certainly Barmore, the defensive tackle is going to go above thirty.

2152
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,040
Speaker 1: So there's another pick off the board because there's only

2153
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 1: one guy with a first round pick. And he's yeah, right.

2154
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:20,480
Speaker 1: But again, if you go by Mike's value of positions

2155
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:24,680
Speaker 1: in terms of position to salary value, he says, you

2156
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:28,080
Speaker 1: go for the high salary positions early in the draft

2157
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have to pay him a bowload of

2158
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:33,080
Speaker 1: money later anyway, So get him on a cheap rookie

2159
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 1: deal at premier positions. So that's quarterback, wide receiver, corner, Yeah,

2160
01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:43,640
Speaker 1: Caleb far offensive interiors down to tier four with running back.

2161
01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know if Barmore is

2162
01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 1: a lock to be around one guy, even though he's

2163
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:52,360
Speaker 1: probably the best defensive tackle in the class, he might

2164
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:54,000
Speaker 1: go the way of running backs. There might not be

2165
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:57,720
Speaker 1: a first round defensive tackle this year, which ten years

2166
01:57:57,720 --> 01:57:59,840
Speaker 1: ago would be crazy. It is crazy, and I've told

2167
01:57:59,880 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 1: you this. You know, when we're out there, it's a

2168
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:06,040
Speaker 1: big man's game. Well it is, yeah, and that's Barmore.

2169
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:07,920
Speaker 1: Guys like him, Guys who can really play who are

2170
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 1: very big, are hard to find because they turn in

2171
01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're not athletic enough for there's just

2172
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:17,160
Speaker 1: not enough of them. You know, everybody wants to be

2173
01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:19,600
Speaker 1: as big and strong as they can possibly be because

2174
01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 1: there's a couple of positives that roll out of that.

2175
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:25,400
Speaker 1: Durability being one of them, and the ability to hold

2176
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 1: real estate. You know, you're just gonna get pushed around.

2177
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:31,480
Speaker 1: You can't move the line of scrimmage without you know,

2178
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:34,480
Speaker 1: if they've got big guys, so it's it's still a

2179
01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:38,560
Speaker 1: big man's game. And guys like Barmore and these, you know,

2180
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 1: all the other guys we've been talking about, Starlow to Lele,

2181
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: they're hard to find. They just they're really hard to find,

2182
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:48,400
Speaker 1: and that's why they're so valuable. And that's why, you

2183
01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:50,800
Speaker 1: know what, I think they're gonna get a couple of

2184
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:55,480
Speaker 1: guys maybe pushed up even without the without the h

2185
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 1: the benefit of being a first round per se talent.

2186
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:02,040
Speaker 1: We'll see. But it's interesting to me because I do

2187
01:59:02,120 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 1: think the position we've talked about a ton is corner,

2188
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:08,600
Speaker 1: and I've aren't five corners in the first round, okay,

2189
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 1: but that means all thirty two teams and the Bills

2190
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:14,560
Speaker 1: pick thirty, so we're gonna get the fifth one. It

2191
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:17,879
Speaker 1: might be possible yeah, and it's gonna be Asante Samuel.

2192
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, Yeah, I'm just gonna say this.

2193
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:26,520
Speaker 1: I think there is a second tier of corners round two,

2194
01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:29,800
Speaker 1: round three that you could be pretty happy with. I've

2195
01:59:29,880 --> 01:59:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of taken a lot of time watching the cornerback

2196
01:59:32,640 --> 01:59:35,920
Speaker 1: class in terms of pulling, you know, tape and stuff.

2197
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:39,960
Speaker 1: And we know the bills on the outside tend to

2198
01:59:40,120 --> 01:59:44,040
Speaker 1: like longer guys, right, So a guy like Asante Samuel,

2199
01:59:44,040 --> 01:59:46,400
Speaker 1: it makes you wonder he's five ten Yeah, would they

2200
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:48,800
Speaker 1: be interested in him? Five ten buck eighty five? I mean,

2201
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 1: good player. You could do a lot worse than Asante Samuel.

2202
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 1: But do they do they gravitate towards the physical traits

2203
01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:00,360
Speaker 1: enough to get off the Asante Samuel train? Because if

2204
02:00:00,360 --> 02:00:02,240
Speaker 1: that's the case, now you're only looking at four corners

2205
02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:05,040
Speaker 1: in round one instead of five. And there's a I

2206
02:00:05,200 --> 02:00:08,840
Speaker 1: love this kid at Stanford man Paulson Adebo. He's probably

2207
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:11,960
Speaker 1: not going to go until day two. This guy's got

2208
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:15,160
Speaker 1: ball skills for days, and he is long. I mean,

2209
02:00:15,200 --> 02:00:18,560
Speaker 1: he's got a ton of ball production. Twenty four pass

2210
02:00:18,640 --> 02:00:20,760
Speaker 1: breakups and eight picks I want to say in twenty

2211
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: two games. I mean that's a lot of ball production.

2212
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 1: What do you what do you make of and what

2213
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:27,760
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about Caleb Farley in the back surgeries.

2214
02:00:28,680 --> 02:00:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, but man, that's a concern, especially

2215
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:36,879
Speaker 1: at a high impact position, not from the point of pounding,

2216
02:00:36,920 --> 02:00:40,080
Speaker 1: pounding being in on tackles, but just putting a lot

2217
02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:42,560
Speaker 1: of torque on your body on every single play. I mean,

2218
02:00:42,640 --> 02:00:45,920
Speaker 1: think about corners, every single pass play. They got flipped

2219
02:00:45,920 --> 02:00:48,400
Speaker 1: their hips, you know, they got a plant and drive.

2220
02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:51,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of pounding and

2221
02:00:51,720 --> 02:00:57,200
Speaker 1: impact at that position on your whole skeletal system, just

2222
02:00:57,280 --> 02:01:01,280
Speaker 1: from a change of direction, standpoint, twisting, turning um Like

2223
02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I was saying, the hip flip stuff, you got lower

2224
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:07,480
Speaker 1: back issues. That's wear and tear, man, and I don't

2225
02:01:07,520 --> 02:01:11,320
Speaker 1: like it. And here's the thing. It's it seems to

2226
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 1: be almost chronic with him, so he's already suffering from

2227
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:18,160
Speaker 1: whatever it is. You gotta trust your docks, right, I

2228
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:20,760
Speaker 1: trust your docks. Okay, then you're good. You put the

2229
02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:24,720
Speaker 1: stamp of approval on him. If it's iffy, you're certainly

2230
02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:26,960
Speaker 1: not spending a first round pick on him, not even

2231
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:29,080
Speaker 1: at thirty. I don't think so you gotta trust your

2232
02:01:29,120 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 1: doctors and your medical staff, right, And that's the only

2233
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:33,960
Speaker 1: way he's saying. Five ten guy who's available, is he

2234
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:37,040
Speaker 1: better than? Because he is a ridiculous athlete. This guy

2235
02:01:37,120 --> 02:01:40,640
Speaker 1: gets beat, he's two steps behind the guy and he

2236
02:01:40,720 --> 02:01:43,920
Speaker 1: makes it up before the ball gets there. It's not right.

2237
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:46,040
Speaker 1: Like you watch some of his tape and it's like,

2238
02:01:46,440 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 1: how the hell did he get back in the play? Right?

2239
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 1: How the heck did he even get there? Because he's

2240
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:52,720
Speaker 1: that sick of an athlete. That's why they look for

2241
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:55,200
Speaker 1: these guys. We'll see that's a that's a money position.

2242
02:01:55,240 --> 02:01:58,320
Speaker 1: I think it's important the Bills give one and that's

2243
02:01:58,360 --> 02:02:01,600
Speaker 1: where I would be looking if I'm Buffalo. Now break

2244
02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:03,560
Speaker 1: time for us. When we come back, more of your

2245
02:02:03,560 --> 02:02:06,240

2258
02:02:58,200 --> 02:03:02,120
Speaker 1: the offseason program is strictly voluntary. With regard to the

2259
02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:05,880
Speaker 1: vaccination of players, Smith said, quote, the league has made

2260
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:08,840
Speaker 1: it clear they're not going to mandate it. He said

2261
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:12,200
Speaker 1: he assumes some players will have reservations. He also said

2262
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:15,400
Speaker 1: he believes personally that as many people as possible should

2263
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:21,080
Speaker 1: be vaccinated. Among some of the other things that he's discussed,

2264
02:03:21,840 --> 02:03:26,360
Speaker 1: he said that science suggests it would be safer for

2265
02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:31,000
Speaker 1: teams not to have mandatory mini camps this offseason. I'm

2266
02:03:31,040 --> 02:03:35,600
Speaker 1: assuming he's tying that science to the COVID pandemic. Declined

2267
02:03:35,640 --> 02:03:37,640
Speaker 1: to say where whether he thinks there could be a

2268
02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:40,480
Speaker 1: resolution with the league on team's offseason programs before on

2269
02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:44,760
Speaker 1: field work is scheduled to begin May seventeenth, So that's

2270
02:03:44,800 --> 02:03:48,840
Speaker 1: really the drop dead date for the players union in

2271
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the league to kind of come together to decide exactly

2272
02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:54,720
Speaker 1: what this year's offseason program is going to look like

2273
02:03:54,800 --> 02:03:58,240
Speaker 1: from an on field perspective. Yeah, and it'll be interesting

2274
02:03:58,280 --> 02:04:04,200
Speaker 1: to see whether what leverage Jesus either side has. I mean,

2275
02:04:04,280 --> 02:04:06,360
Speaker 1: is everything's negotiated right, I mean, we saw that this

2276
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 1: last year. You can't do anything without getting the okay

2277
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:12,480
Speaker 1: from from both sides. And although it's extenuating circumstances that

2278
02:04:12,520 --> 02:04:18,600
Speaker 1: nobody foresaw when they signed the deal, sort of because

2279
02:04:18,640 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 1: this deal, this new CBA was signed, like remember that

2280
02:04:21,120 --> 02:04:24,480
Speaker 1: unless you're in February or March right after the pandemic hit,

2281
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:26,400
Speaker 1: and then they had to get back to the table

2282
02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:28,680
Speaker 1: and get together with protocols for what the season was

2283
02:04:28,680 --> 02:04:32,600
Speaker 1: going to look like. I don't know that, And I

2284
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:35,480
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty healthy relationship between the players union

2285
02:04:35,480 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 1: and the ownership right now. Certainly it's not completely harmonious,

2286
02:04:40,160 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 1: but who'd expect it to be. I don't know that,

2287
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:47,080
Speaker 1: And I don't think the union is just flexing here.

2288
02:04:47,920 --> 02:04:50,240
Speaker 1: I think they're probably getting some pushback from some of

2289
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:52,480
Speaker 1: their from their rank and file about hey, listen, not

2290
02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:54,400
Speaker 1: only do I not want to go in there in

2291
02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:58,000
Speaker 1: May when I don't have to, but I don't. I

2292
02:04:58,040 --> 02:05:00,840
Speaker 1: don't get either either. I'd either I don't want to

2293
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:03,040
Speaker 1: get tested every day and have to quarantine for two

2294
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:07,440
Speaker 1: weeks while I'm there, or b they're not testing every

2295
02:05:07,520 --> 02:05:09,440
Speaker 1: day and they're not quarran of course and every the

2296
02:05:09,440 --> 02:05:11,760
Speaker 1: other thing else, everybody else to quarantine while I'm there.

2297
02:05:11,880 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You're gonna get both sides

2298
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:20,480
Speaker 1: of that. It's a it's a nutty situation. Yeah, because

2299
02:05:20,640 --> 02:05:24,080
Speaker 1: let's face and let's face, nobody wants if you're making

2300
02:05:24,120 --> 02:05:26,920
Speaker 1: all this, nobody wants to work. And the Players Association

2301
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:30,840
Speaker 1: continues to posture because just three minutes ago, the NFLPA

2302
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:34,400
Speaker 1: had the nineteenth team in the league say that they're

2303
02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:37,240
Speaker 1: not going to voluntary let me guess we're gonna get

2304
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:38,960
Speaker 1: up to thirty two by the time. Why can't they

2305
02:05:38,960 --> 02:05:41,920
Speaker 1: just say, Hey, the AFC East has said they're not

2306
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna ear the AFC or the you know, just making

2307
02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:46,840
Speaker 1: two announcements. It's to the thirty two. Can we do that?

2308
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:50,920
Speaker 1: So there's that, Steve, I don't know if you saw this,

2309
02:05:51,720 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 1: but the wind total predictions are out from the gambling world.

2310
02:05:57,600 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 1: There's several sports books that have put these out. One

2311
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:09,040
Speaker 1: William Hill Sports Book put out the win totals over

2312
02:06:09,200 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 1: under for the twenty twenty one NFL season. At the

2313
02:06:13,240 --> 02:06:17,200
Speaker 1: top of the list is Kansas City at twelve wins

2314
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 1: they are predicting for them. Tampa is second at eleven

2315
02:06:20,720 --> 02:06:25,040
Speaker 1: and a half, Baltimore and Green Bay at eleven, and

2316
02:06:25,080 --> 02:06:28,880
Speaker 1: then the Bills and the Rams both at ten and

2317
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:33,200
Speaker 1: a half. We should remind everybody the Bills have what

2318
02:06:33,320 --> 02:06:37,200
Speaker 1: has been listed as the third most difficult strength of

2319
02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:40,000
Speaker 1: schedule for the twenty twenty one season, which is no

2320
02:06:40,080 --> 02:06:43,760
Speaker 1: doubt factoring into that number ten and a half. We

2321
02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:46,480
Speaker 1: had a tough schedule last year going into that season,

2322
02:06:46,600 --> 02:06:49,640
Speaker 1: and as we know, basing a strength of schedule off

2323
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:52,280
Speaker 1: last year's one loss records is not the most accurate

2324
02:06:52,360 --> 02:06:55,080
Speaker 1: way by which to do that, as we found out

2325
02:06:55,160 --> 02:06:58,280
Speaker 1: last year with some of the teams that fell on

2326
02:06:58,320 --> 02:07:02,080
Speaker 1: hard times. It's a week to week league, as we know,

2327
02:07:02,440 --> 02:07:05,880
Speaker 1: and things can change dramatically based on injury, player availability,

2328
02:07:06,520 --> 02:07:09,160
Speaker 1: and the like. So Houston Texans at four and a half,

2329
02:07:09,160 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 1: they're the bottom. Yeah, Detroit's down there. What if? What

2330
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:17,320
Speaker 1: if the Houston Texans do not have Deshaun Watson As

2331
02:07:17,360 --> 02:07:20,840
Speaker 1: it looks like they will not. For aren't they four

2332
02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 1: and twelve last year with Hammer the under? Okay, all right, right,

2333
02:07:28,800 --> 02:07:31,200
Speaker 1: this advice brought to you by one stephen A ten.

2334
02:07:31,320 --> 02:07:35,280
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. I yeah. As far as the rest

2335
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:41,640
Speaker 1: of Buffalo's division goes, the highest other division opponent is

2336
02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Miami over under of nine wins, and then I can't

2337
02:07:46,040 --> 02:07:49,560
Speaker 1: get my New England also at nine wins, seventeen game schedule,

2338
02:07:49,640 --> 02:07:58,240
Speaker 1: don't forget seventeen games. Jets six wins, really, so there's that.

2339
02:07:58,720 --> 02:08:03,240
Speaker 1: So that's where it stands over under one loss. Do

2340
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:07,200
Speaker 1: we want to finish up the tweet sheet here? I

2341
02:08:07,200 --> 02:08:11,360
Speaker 1: think we should since people took the time to comment,

2342
02:08:11,880 --> 02:08:17,800
Speaker 1: So let's do that. And we are up to Nick

2343
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:21,640
Speaker 1: t who says, I guess I have to say the

2344
02:08:21,680 --> 02:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins because they had ten wins last year. But with

2345
02:08:24,560 --> 02:08:26,800
Speaker 1: all due respect to Too if he's their quarterback, I'm

2346
02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:29,040
Speaker 1: not too worried. I feel the same way about the

2347
02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Pats with Cam. The Jets may rebuild into a good team,

2348
02:08:32,160 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: but I think it's still a year or two away.

2349
02:08:33,680 --> 02:08:37,080
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Charlie says, Dolphins they won

2350
02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:39,040
Speaker 1: ten games last year. They have a ton of draft

2351
02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:41,160
Speaker 1: capital over the next few years. They have good coaching,

2352
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 1: they know how to draft well. There'll be a problem

2353
02:08:43,520 --> 02:08:45,760
Speaker 1: for the Bills for the foreseeable future too, is development

2354
02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:50,680
Speaker 1: is critical and how much slash fast that gap can close.

2355
02:08:52,160 --> 02:08:56,320
Speaker 1: That's true, and yeah, I agree. I think they're gonna

2356
02:08:56,320 --> 02:08:58,200
Speaker 1: build a really good football team down there, and the

2357
02:08:58,280 --> 02:09:00,520
Speaker 1: key is going to be how fast to a get good.

2358
02:09:01,240 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 1: It took him a while last year, and we've seen

2359
02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:09,560
Speaker 1: other times they were I believe they weren't They four

2360
02:09:09,600 --> 02:09:13,040
Speaker 1: and two, when fits four and three, when Fits four

2361
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:17,040
Speaker 1: and three they had won three in a row, went

2362
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:21,480
Speaker 1: four and three, and then he got pitched and two

2363
02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 1: in his starts was credited with going six and three. Right,

2364
02:09:28,560 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 1: fits pulled one out of the fire two and two. Okay, yeah,

2365
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:35,440
Speaker 1: so do the math. I remember the Raiders game, the

2366
02:09:35,520 --> 02:09:37,520
Speaker 1: Raiders game, and the one before that he had also

2367
02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: he also came in, I think came in and they

2368
02:09:41,320 --> 02:09:43,080
Speaker 1: brought him in for a Denver game he could not

2369
02:09:43,200 --> 02:09:46,120
Speaker 1: finish finished the comeback effort that he threw a pick

2370
02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Perhaps that was the one I

2371
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,280
Speaker 1: was thinking of anyway, that the simple fact of the

2372
02:09:50,280 --> 02:09:51,800
Speaker 1: matter is two. It gets credit for a six and

2373
02:09:51,840 --> 02:09:55,680
Speaker 1: three record. Last year, and realistically they were both five

2374
02:09:55,720 --> 02:09:59,760
Speaker 1: and three starters. Two would have been five and four,

2375
02:09:59,800 --> 02:10:01,760
Speaker 1: Its six and three would have been five and four. Well,

2376
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:04,040
Speaker 1: I was taking one win off of his and given

2377
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:06,480
Speaker 1: it because they finished ten and six. Yeah, I get you.

2378
02:10:08,040 --> 02:10:11,440
Speaker 1: And let's not math. I was told there was no math.

2379
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:15,560
Speaker 1: But so you're looking at a guy in his rookie

2380
02:10:15,680 --> 02:10:23,120
Speaker 1: season who matched fits and how much do you fact

2381
02:10:23,120 --> 02:10:25,680
Speaker 1: you're in coming off the hip injury? Like, do you

2382
02:10:25,720 --> 02:10:29,720
Speaker 1: think he'll be more mobile? Do you think there'll be

2383
02:10:30,200 --> 02:10:33,400
Speaker 1: more zip on his passes because he can drive his

2384
02:10:33,480 --> 02:10:36,360
Speaker 1: hip into throws better? Like, I wonder if that played

2385
02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:39,240
Speaker 1: a role at all. I'll give him his play last year,

2386
02:10:39,280 --> 02:10:42,280
Speaker 1: I'll give him improvement better. I think he's gonna be better,

2387
02:10:42,360 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 1: no question about it. How much better. He had a

2388
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:48,240
Speaker 1: ways to go. But he's you're talking now, are You're

2389
02:10:48,240 --> 02:10:51,240
Speaker 1: gonna be like ten games into his first year coming

2390
02:10:51,240 --> 02:10:53,560
Speaker 1: in the next season and they have largely the same

2391
02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:56,120
Speaker 1: schedules t start. I mean, they have largely the same

2392
02:10:56,760 --> 02:10:59,680
Speaker 1: bills too. Let's not forget that, right, So things to

2393
02:10:59,760 --> 02:11:02,840
Speaker 1: think about. But thanks to everybody contributed on the tweet

2394
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:05,040
Speaker 1: sheet today, we appreciate it. We're going to take a

2395
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:07,920
Speaker 1: break here, Steve and I to close things up in

2396
02:11:08,040 --> 02:11:11,280
Speaker 1: the next segment with what we have learned from today's

2397
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:13,480
Speaker 1: show that's coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

2398
02:11:13,520 --> 02:11:29,480
Speaker 1: presented by Kalada Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. What have

2399
02:11:29,720 --> 02:11:34,480
Speaker 1: we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction

2400
02:11:34,600 --> 02:11:41,120
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. And if anything, Steve,

2401
02:11:41,200 --> 02:11:44,440
Speaker 1: we've learned that I think more people are concerned about

2402
02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:47,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins closing the gap on the Bills than the

2403
02:11:47,320 --> 02:11:50,760
Speaker 1: Patriots now, and we're going to make sure we do this.

2404
02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:52,880
Speaker 1: We want to see where the poll ended up. So

2405
02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if Tom's got that handy for us

2406
02:11:55,160 --> 02:11:57,880
Speaker 1: in the control room, but where the Twitter poll today

2407
02:11:58,000 --> 02:11:59,640
Speaker 1: ended up, because this is going to be of interest

2408
02:11:59,680 --> 02:12:03,520
Speaker 1: to me to see how much these numbers shift if

2409
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:05,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots trade up in the draft and get somebody

2410
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:11,000
Speaker 1: like Trey Lance or or even Justin Fields. So we

2411
02:12:11,040 --> 02:12:15,240
Speaker 1: got about seventy four percent saying the Dolphins are positioned

2412
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:17,600
Speaker 1: to close the gap the fastest, and they very well

2413
02:12:17,600 --> 02:12:20,000
Speaker 1: could if they make some good draft choices here in

2414
02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:23,840
Speaker 1: ten days time. But I'm telling you, man, if the

2415
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:27,800
Speaker 1: Patriots get a quarterback one of those top four somehow,

2416
02:12:27,920 --> 02:12:30,400
Speaker 1: some way by trading up in the draft, maybe as

2417
02:12:30,440 --> 02:12:33,960
Speaker 1: you suggested, trading Stefan Gilmour to somebody in a trade

2418
02:12:33,960 --> 02:12:35,800
Speaker 1: to get up the board and they get one of

2419
02:12:35,800 --> 02:12:39,480
Speaker 1: those top four guys. The numbers we're seeing right there

2420
02:12:39,480 --> 02:12:41,720
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll right now are MSG viewing audience

2421
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:44,720
Speaker 1: seventy four percent Dolphins twenty two percent Patriots. That thing

2422
02:12:44,720 --> 02:12:47,960
Speaker 1: could flip. It could because the Patriots have more proven

2423
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 1: NFL players on their roster than the Dolphins would after

2424
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:52,480
Speaker 1: this draft. Well, the opt outs alone, right on the

2425
02:12:52,520 --> 02:12:54,760
Speaker 1: opt outs, plus the free agents they signed, the two

2426
02:12:54,760 --> 02:12:57,280
Speaker 1: tight ends, the two wide receivers. They've got guys that

2427
02:12:57,360 --> 02:13:01,240
Speaker 1: have done it in the NFL, and giving them somebody

2428
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:04,280
Speaker 1: who they can bring along slowly as a quarterback gives

2429
02:13:04,280 --> 02:13:06,560
Speaker 1: you the feeling that they could put it together pretty quickly.

2430
02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:09,640
Speaker 1: The Dolphins, even drafting as high as they are, and

2431
02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:12,600
Speaker 1: even drafting well, it's gonna be hard for them to

2432
02:13:12,680 --> 02:13:16,200
Speaker 1: draft guys at positions where they could come in and

2433
02:13:16,560 --> 02:13:21,800
Speaker 1: contribute as quickly as a veteran NFL player. So while

2434
02:13:21,880 --> 02:13:24,840
Speaker 1: both teams would get much better quickly if the Dolph,

2435
02:13:24,920 --> 02:13:29,840
Speaker 1: if the Patriots move up and get a quarterback. I

2436
02:13:29,880 --> 02:13:33,520
Speaker 1: think the scar tissue alone in this region is gonna say, Oh,

2437
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:36,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna make everybody kind of bunch up. So we'll

2438
02:13:36,160 --> 02:13:38,160
Speaker 1: make a mental note of that and then see if

2439
02:13:38,160 --> 02:13:40,360
Speaker 1: we can actually remember it in about two weeks time.

2440
02:13:40,720 --> 02:13:45,240
Speaker 1: Have shown other show just like this to see how

2441
02:13:45,320 --> 02:13:49,720
Speaker 1: the opinions of the Bills fan base has changed in

2442
02:13:49,760 --> 02:13:52,920
Speaker 1: the wake of how each of these respective teams in

2443
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:57,360
Speaker 1: the division drafts. Because as we know, Miami's got four

2444
02:13:57,400 --> 02:14:01,560
Speaker 1: picks in the top fifty, Jets have five picks in

2445
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:04,920
Speaker 1: the top eighty six, They've got a lot of opportunity

2446
02:14:05,040 --> 02:14:08,120
Speaker 1: to change the dynamic of their roster. They made the

2447
02:14:08,200 --> 02:14:11,800
Speaker 1: right decisions Tomorrow Tomorrow, who the heck do we have

2448
02:14:11,920 --> 02:14:19,360
Speaker 1: branded on? Who Sports? Talk to him in the third hour.

2449
02:14:19,400 --> 02:14:19,920
Speaker 1: We'll see you that
