35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting on which player of those top four

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: five are gonna get sabotaged by social media about how

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: bad they are and something. When they were a kid,

38
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,960

39
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,680

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: their picks that and you know who's your team gonna take.

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Nobody knows who anybody's gonna take it right

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: at the present begun. Nobody knows. We were talking. You

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: were there part of our discussion this morning with a

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: group of employees here. People have been here a while.

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: I've been here six and a half years full time,

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: people have been here longer. We all kind of agree,

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: and you've been around the building for a long time,

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: player and now in your radio role, but we all

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of agreed. This is as clamped down, as quiet

51
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: as it's ever been, as far as the Bill's intentions,

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the Bill's direction they're going in in this draft for

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I think a number of reasons. But it's never really

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: been this quiet before, and I find that interesting. I

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: think I see it around the league, by the way.

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I think most teams around the league are doing that.

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: But there's just not a lot of better there's not

58
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot of leakage, which this place was pretty leaky

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: maybe four or five years ago, not at all leaky now,

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: which I guess is a good thing. We had that

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: conversation too, about do you think that was the fact

62
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: that people knew what this building. We're thinking you think

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: that was one of the things that made them unsuccessful

64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: in the past, was that, you know, they let too

65
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: much information out there before the draft. People knew where

66
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: they were. I don't think so. And yeah, I don't either.

67
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that was really the basis sport. But

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: I do say this, at the very least, it might

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: have been a symptom of why they were They struggled

70
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: to be successful year in, year out. Maybe, but I

71
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: don't there was a reason. I don't think it was.

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a cause and effect at all.

73
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't either. But it's been interesting.

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: It's been interesting how quiet it's been about the Bill's intentions.

75
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: And again I do think it's a league wide phenomenon.

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: In a lot of places, you don't know what their

77
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: team's gonna do tonight in Round one, and not to

78
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: mention the the rest of the draft, and so a

79
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: lot of speculation, a lot of interesting speculation about what's

80
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. A year ago. This surprises Stephen

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: I Work. A year ago, Day one of the Draft,

82
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: one of the draft one, the Bills had already selected

83
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the first round, and then a little

84
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: bit later on in the first round, the Bills traded

85
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: up six spots to get our next guest season studio

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,840

113
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: the building around this time, you know, because last year,

114
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 1: you know, I was training for the for the draft,

115

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,320

Speaker 1: to go out there and you know, just do the

118
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,479

123
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: I think that's great for you, Tremine. It must be

124
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: a totally different feeling from where you were the first

125
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: days you spend here last year, and it was after

126
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: the draft to think about a week after the draft, right,

127
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: the rookies come in, But now you come back as

128
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: with one year under your belt, with familiarity with the

129
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: building and with your teammates and your coaches. It just

130
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: must be kind of a comfortable feeling like, yeah, this

131
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: is this is where I work, this is how I work.

132
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: This is yeah, yeah, exactly, it's it's it's actually a

133
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: you know, a relief, you know. But at the same time,

134
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: I still got a long ways to go. You know,

135
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to improve every day that I show

136
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: up here, you know, whether it's condition and living or

137
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the meetings, you know, getting mental mental

138
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: reps in. But uh, like I said, I still have

139
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: a long ways to go. You know, we still have

140
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: a long ways to go as a team as well,

141
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: So we're just trying to take the one step at

142
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: the time. I want to ask you about the new

143
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: weight room, the new player performance facility, but one aspect

144
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: of it, I think I'm okay to ask this question. Right.

145
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: You and I noticed today were walking from a meeting

146
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: back when we walked by the performance center and the

147
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: huge video screens on the window. Um, you know they're

148
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: not there for you guys. To watch one life to

149
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: live are they? I Mean, there's there's business going on

150
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: on those screens and we I thought we detected like

151
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of a meeting going on in the weight room

152
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: with the huge video screen in front of you. How

153
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: do you use that? What do you do there? I mean,

154
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: you know they do different things in there, but you know,

155
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: we just use that whole the whole facility in there,

156
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, just to get better and as we're going

157
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: there every day, whatever we're doing, you know, that's the

158
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: mindset going into it. Do you think that building the

159
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: new weight center there, player performance center, will that keep

160
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: guys here maybe a little bit longer in the off

161
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: season or getting back earlier in the off season knowing

162
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: what a great facility they have to work out of now.

163
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean I think so. But I mean at the

164
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, you know, it's going to be

165
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: up to the player, you know, whatever their plans that

166
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people have their own thing that they do.

167
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's definitely all the resources you need,

168
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, recoveries even outside of the weight room, recovery

169
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: stuff that they put in the building. But I mean,

170
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, they gave us all the opportunities that we need,

171
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, So, I mean it's it's a great facility.

172
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the facility for a couple of

173
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: weeks since they opened it up, and even some of

174
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: the draft prospects who've come in for pre draft meetings

175
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: have said, Wow, the facilities are unbelievable. But I've said

176
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: this a couple of times on the show. The weight

177
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: room and stuff. That's the pictures everybody sees as the

178
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: shiny wags, you know, and everything lined up. It looks

179
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: all good, but really the nuts and bolts of it

180
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: is the recovery stuff on the other side of the wall,

181
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: and it's the stuff that's I mean, that's what you

182
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: really need as a player. Certainly, you can spend a

183
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: lot of time, but you can lift weights any we

184
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: can go to a gym down the street and do that.

185
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: But that recovery stuff is sets it aside. It definitely does.

186
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that's a lot of things,

187
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Like you said, if people don't they don't realize they

188
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: see the weight room, but that's that's something a lot

189
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: of guys are already taking advantage of because, like you said, man,

190
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: we need that type of stuff to be successful. And uh,

191
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean it don't really give guys reasons to go

192
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: other places because you have everything you need here. You know,

193
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: they add a lot of new things, even made some

194
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: of the things they had already a little bit bigger.

195
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: So more guys can get in there, you know, just

196
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: just more team bonding but recovery at the same time.

197
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: But it's it's a great man, I'm taking advantage of

198
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: it now for guys who use that a lot, Guys

199
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: like Lorenzo, you know, guys who have this routine where

200
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: they do you know, acupuncture, massage, they go what all

201
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: the stuff that they do, there's a ton of it.

202
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Now they can do it here without having to pay

203
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: for that stuff. Plus it's convenient just show up and

204
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, the same place every day. It's not like

205
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: you have to go here for massage, go over there

206
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: for acupuncture, go over here for light therapy, goal and

207
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: you can't even find cryo stuff and and uh, you know,

208
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: the the pods and the so it's all right here.

209
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: So a lot of guys say, my outh, this is

210
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: the only place I need to be. Yeah, so that's

211
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: gotta be a huge enticement. Exactly. It is, like I said, man,

212
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: it don't give you reason to go anywhere else because

213
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: everything's here. You got full access to everything for free too,

214
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: So it's definitely good for us. With Line Backeller, Lorenzo's

247
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: So I mean it's it's it's a feeling that we

248
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: dream of our whole life. You know, this is what

249
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: we go to work for, It's what we've been playing

250
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: ball for. But uh, I mean, it's it's it's it's

251
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: really an experience that I can't I can't ever forget.

252
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's a little nerve racking, but I

253
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: mean that comes with it, you know, not knowing what

254
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up but you know, I got my

255
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: name called. Then uh I had media stuff to do

256
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: and then you know, here here goes my brother. Yeah.

257
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: So you could just imagine you know, the energy that

258
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: was going through that room with my family and you know,

259
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: I even I saw a clip when you know, they

260
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: recorded me and my emotion and you know my reaction.

261
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: But it was amazing, man, because I know how much

262
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: you worked for it. You know, you know how much

263
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: I work for just to see dreams come come true.

264
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: There it's it's it's it's amazing. You were sixteenth over

265
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: all the bills, as we said, moved to six spots

266
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: to get you right, six six picks up. Did you

267
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: ever whiff that something was up around that time? Did

268
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: you feel like, oh, here it goes. I think somebody's

269
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: coming up to get me now? Yeah, I mean I was,

270
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, you know they just you know,

271
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: heard about the trade, so I was like, ah, could

272
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: this be it? But uh, I mean, like I said,

273
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: during that time, it's just like I said, it is

274
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: nerve racking because you just don't know. And the whole night,

275
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're just waiting, you know, just being patient

276

278
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,040

279
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: to come true. And uh, just hearing your name get called,

280
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: it's it's, it's a feeling that it's hard for me

281
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: to explain. Did you think it might be Buffalo to

282
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,720

Speaker 1: gonna go, to be honest, but uh, I mean, you know,

Speaker 1: gotta do afterwards. So you know, my name was called,

304
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, you go on stage or do your interview

305
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: and stuff, and then right after your names get called,

306
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: you gotta go. You gotta do a lot more interviews

307
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: and you know, take pictures and do things like that

308
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: signs some things. But you know, like I said, I

309
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: don't think you really realize it till a couple of

310
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: days afterwards, because that's when you really have time to

311
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: think about like what just happened? You know. I think

312
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: as soon as your name get calls you in the moment, Uh,

313
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: like I said, you got all these interviews, you don't

314
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: really have no time to reflect that. Yeah, you don't

315
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: have time to step back and reflect on anything. So,

316
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: like I said, like a day or two or sometimes

317
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: it may even take a week because even after that

318
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: you gotta fly to your city, you know, do things

319
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: around the facility. But probably about a week or so

320
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: or even after you finish that, when you got some

321
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: downtime back home, you just think about everything and it's like, man,

322
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: so then can you really start to wrap your mind

323
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: about what's next. Yeah, like I said, it's a quick turnaround, man.

324
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: So you know, after you do that, then obviously you're

325
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna be in contact with your coaches and it's time.

326
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: It's straight business from there. Like you gotta you know,

327
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: go through the playbook, learn the playbook, all that type

328
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: of stuff. So you know, because once your name get caught,

329
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it's funny games, but it's it's straight business

330
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: after that, so you gotta be prepared. You were a

331
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: little different too, a little different than than most guys,

332
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: obviously your first round pick. But you didn't there was

333
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: never a question like, Okay, you're gonna be able to

334
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: sit on the bench and learn for a minute. You know,

335
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: we're not. No, you were like that. You were like

336
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: click right at the top of the depth yard and

337
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: they said here's the and they you know, here's the playbook.

338
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: They load you up with this playbook and said you know,

339
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: you're a guy, let's go. And it's a little bit

340
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: like drinking water out of a fire hose, right, it's

341
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: a little bit overwhelming the knowledge and the and not

342
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: only that, but the expectations that you had to feel. Yeah,

343
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: it's it's tough. It's definitely tough, you know, But at

344
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, man, it's a business. You know,

345
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: this is what they drafted me for. So you know,

346
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: you just got to go to work. I mean, I

347
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: keep I keep saying the same thing, but you gotta

348
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: take it one step at the time. I mean, obviously

349
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna learn everything right then and there,

350
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: so you got to figure out your best way of

351
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: learning and you know, get it downpacked, because I mean,

352
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: that's just the reality of it. They expect you to

353
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: get it down packing. That's what you gotta do. Treen

354
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: Edmonds going into a second year of the Bills, that linebacker.

355
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if we talk here after the season,

356
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: but as you look back at your rookie season, and yes,

357
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: you were starting right from the start and you know,

358
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: relaying defensive signals, but was there a turning point when

359
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: you thought, okay, I got the defensive part down. I

360
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: got the signal calling down. Now I can start to play.

361
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at numbers, even if that matters

362
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: the tackle numbers. Your second half of the season was

363
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: really good and December I think you were what defensive

364
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Month in the NFL in December. Was

365
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: there a point last season when you thought I'm getting it?

366
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: Now I feel more comfortable. Yeah, definitely, you know, towards

367
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. But I mean, you know,

368
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: I still have a long way to go to for

369
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: me to start playing the way I knew I could.

370
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: I could play all the time, you know, I think

371
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is to be consistent. And uh, I mean,

372
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: like you said, man, it's a lot being thrown actually

373
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: your first year, but I mean you gotta you gotta

374
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: take it in and learn from it. You know, you're

375
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna make mistakes out there, and you know that's one

376
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: thing I had to learn because you know, I'm a

377
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: guy who likes to be perfect out there. But I mean,

378
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: things are gonna come up each game. I mean it's

379
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: never even you know, a couple of years down the line,

380
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Stuff's still gonna come up. But you know, I just

381
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: got to take it, learn from it, and you know,

382
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: get better. You were like in a lot of ways,

383
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: you're like a hockey player. You got drafted as a teenager. Yeah,

384
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: you're nineteen now. At that point you think, wow, but

385
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's a little bit of a hindrance

386
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: because you didn't have an extra couple of years in

387
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: college or you know whatever. You just older, seem more

388
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: football or whatever. But I think at this point you've

389
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: got to think of that as an enormous positive. Is

390
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, definitely. You know that that went into

391
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: my decision, you know, some of coming out early, because

392
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I knew where I was at,

393
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of what other people may have thought,

394
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, me being younger, whatever, but you know, I

395
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: knew where I was at. You know, I knew where

396
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: my mind was at. So you know, I knew I

397
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: was ready for that next step. You know, some may

398
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: say not, but you know I was ready for it.

399
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: So you know, I did it, and I mean it

400
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: to me, it wasn't really a big deal as most

401
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: people made the same because I've always played up, so

402
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: I've always be one of the youngest ones out there.

403
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: So to me, it was just like, all right, let's

404
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: take this next step. But I mean, I knew it

405
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be easy. But that's why I keep saying this.

406
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: It's still got a lot of growth to do. I

407
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: grew up a little bit like that as well. Yeah,

408
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: you got older brothers exactly. My older brothers helps. It

409
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: helps when you get older. You got a big twenty

410
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: first birthday week from today. Oh yeah, keep it between

411
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: the from today. Stay in your lane. Last question, um

412
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: thirty two names coming off the board tonight in Nashville.

413
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: If you had one piece of advice for any other

414
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: first round pick, offense or defense about rookie year in

415
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, what would you tell them? I would tell them.

416
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is, uh, stay positive. I

417
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: mean that's you're gonna face adversity in your rookie year.

418
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be many ups and downs. It's gonna be

419
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: tough because I mean, just like you know, transition into college.

420
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was tough for a lot of guys.

421
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: But I mean you, like I said, you just gotta

422
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: stay positive on yourself. And uh biggest thing is patience.

423
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: If you try to rush to anything that happened at once.

424
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: I mean maybe that's you know, everybody's a little bit different,

425
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: but for me, it was just you know, staying positive,

426
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: going to work, and uh, I mean taking everything as

427
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: a business because that's what it is. You're gonna watch

428

454
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: just after we got off. You know, Tremaine's just about

455
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: to turn twenty one. He got guys in this draft.

456
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: I like Christian Wilkins, the defensive lineman from Clemson, who

457
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: you and I both like. He's Yeah, he would fit.

458
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: He's twenty four. Tremaine is going to be getting into

459
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: a second contract before he's twenty four. Before that, that's

460
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: how long. That's not much. How many extra years you

461
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: get with a guy like Tremaine Edmonds than you do

462
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: with a guy like Christian will Because I'm not saying

463
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: that's a knock against Christian Wilkins because if he comes

464
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 1: out and plays, well, hey, who cares, you know. But

465
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds was drafted at nineteen years old. It's absolutely

466
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: amazing story. And you're right there. I'd forgotten he was

467
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: defensive Rookie the Year for the month of December. He

468
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: got really good by the end of the year. And

469
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: we debated on way to ask him because we get

470
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: calls from you know, people are our listeners that you mean,

471
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden are about like, yeah, he

472
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as being a true middle linebacker. He's

473
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: more of an outside linebacker, you know, an oil beat

474
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: what that kind of thing. Say, maybe they'll move him

475
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 1: and draft one of those great inside linebackers that are

476
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: in this draft. I don't think so. I don't think so.

477
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's exactly what they want. Um,

478
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: he got so much better than the second half. Certainly

479
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: he had a ways to go. But as you heard

480
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: him sitting here, and this is one of the reasons

481
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: they drafted him. Tremaine Edmonds, who was Defensive Rookie of

482
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: the Month last December, late in the season, is sitting

483
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: there going, man, I got a lot of work to do.

484
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: I gotta you know, this is the guy that wants

485
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: to get better and better and better. That's the kind

486
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: of guy you want in the middle of your defense.

487
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: He's a three down linebacker. He's gonna be on the

488
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: field every down and he's not moving out of that spot.

489
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: So I know there's some people out there and we've

490
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: taken some calls and say, well, you know, we could

491
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: get a guy and moved from and get that much

492
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: better in our linebacking court. They ain't gonna do it.

493
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that's on the docket. He is. He's

494
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna be an out. He is a really good inside

495
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: linebacker and he may develop into maybe the best guy

496
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: in the league if he keeps going. His athleticism says

497
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be great. Distantony

498
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: is not happening. We got a good show here. We

499
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: got Lorenzo Alexander coming up at one o'clock to day

500
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of what do you think draft talk?

501
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: Of course, with the draft coming up, I do want

502
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: to say this, we didn't get a chance when the

503
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: show started. It is a red letter day. It is

504
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: a significant day in the NFL offseason. But but we

505
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: get carried away and the calls. I was just thinking

506
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: about it when you said the calls for a let's

507
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: draft a linebacker from LSU Devin White and move and

508
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: put him in the middle and move for me. You

509
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of get caught up sometimes in the draft, like

510
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: this guy's great, this guy's gonna be great, this guy's

511
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: gonna be great, so let's rearrange our whole thing. And

512
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a mistake when you look at the draft.

513
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: And I said this a little bit yesterday, I will

514
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: repeat today. It's important the talent acquisition tonight and throughout

515
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: the next three days very important. You'd basically set up

516
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: your team, But just as important, I believe Steve is

517
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: development and coaching, And no matter who you draft tonight,

518
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to fit him into your scheme in

519
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: some way, fit your scheme around him a little bit

520
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: and get him better. And I think that gets overlooked

521
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: on a night like tonight, with so many shiny new

522
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: objects coming into the NFL, people think, well, we got

523
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: this guy, now, we'll be this. We got this guy now,

524
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: he can do this. Maybe he can, hopefully he can.

525
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: For the Bills and everybody else. But you have to

526
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: coach him up. You have to develop. When you have

527
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: to give him time to develop, you have to let

528
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: get better. Boson was in first round pick a couple

529
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: of years ago. We took him a couple of years

530
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: to kind of learn how to play in the NFL,

531
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: in the NFL, how to be a pro. Yeah, And

532
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: I do think that gets overlooked on next like tonight.

533
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: As important as tonight is, I really do. Here's what

534
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: you also have to remember too. And Murphy and I

535
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: are here and we're neck deep in it all and

536
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: it's because it's our jobs and that's why we do it.

537
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: We love it. And fans are out there listening to

538
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: us and watching us on MSG and and some of

539
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: them listen to us for an hour or twenty minutes,

540
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: are on there why they're in the car, or they

541
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: listen to the whole show. But here's what I want

542
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: to warn all of our listeners against, because we're gonna

543
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: get some of this tonight when who no matter who

544
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: the Bills pick, no matter who they pick, no matter

545
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: who they pick, there's gonna be a large man at large,

546
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: but a certain percentage of the listeners and viewers out

547
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: there who are gonna be absolutely irate, absolutely irate. You

548
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: may love this guy that, but there's gonna be a

549
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: certain segment of the population's gonna go, what are they

550
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: doing this? It's just one more reason they're never going

551
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: to be successful. They didn't take t J. Hawkinson when

552
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: he was available. It was so stupid. They shouldn't. They

553
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't take Christian Wilkins when he was available. It was

554
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: so stupid, or they were so stupid for taking him

555
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: because he's twenty four years old, he's a rookie. We're

556
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: gonna all this stuff, So believe me. The guys whose

557
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: livelihoods depend on this and who have proven, in my

558
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: estimation the last two years to be really good at

559
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: having a plan that has been in place and staying

560
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: with it as staying discipline, are gonna make this pick tonight,

561
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: no matter where it is, whether it's nine, whether it

562
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: turns into a six, or whether it turns into a

563
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: sixteen pick. They know what they're doing and they're gonna

564
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: get the guys they think are the best for this team.

565
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: And no matter who it is, at what position, you

566
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: gotta be ready to say okay, you know and we've

567
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: had people's ain't listen. I'm if they don't take remember

568
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: the guy. If we don't take t J Hawkson, I

569
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: am done, I am out. You know, Okay, okay, but

570
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: you can get off of the next And I told

571
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: him get off of the next stop, bro, because they're

572
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: probably the trains rolling on. And this is a team

573
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: that is uh, you gotta be very optimistic. And it's

574
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: a very weird draft for all Bills fans everywhere after

575
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: the last double digit years. You can pick the number

576
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: you want. They don't have to take anybody. They aren't.

577
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: They are not in crying need of anybody at any position.

578
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: You can say, well, they don't have a time they've

579
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: never had. We've heard this all week. We've never had

580
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: a great tight end, Like who cares, who cares what

581
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: was going on? We're gonna keep going without a great

582
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: height tight end. Yeah, uh, you know they're gonna do that.

583
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: We're gonnare gonna keep rolling. And this is a team

584
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: that's it's gonna be fun to hear see the plan

585
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: come together and hear what they have to say about

586
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: it afterwards, and how all the wrinkles and bumps in

587
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: the road happen because there's gonna be some trades up

588
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: in the top ten. You can just bet on it

589
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: and it's gonna and it may involve the bills, it

590
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: may not, but it's gonna be fun. So just know

591
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be disappointed in some respects, you're gonna

592
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: be gratified in certain respects. But this is a team

593
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: that is on the uptick. And the uptick is in

594
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: large part because the guy's pulling the strings time and

595
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: I do get that a lot. And I see that,

596
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: you know from the responses we get on the phone

597
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: lines a lot and even on Twitter when people say

598
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: I trust being in McDermott. I trust them. They've made

599
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: They've had a year or two of pretty good moves.

600
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: They're not going to be perfect. I think people understand that.

601
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: But I do think there's a lot of goodwill and

602
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: trust build up in the decision makers here and that

603
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: that should serve them well. Over the next three days.

604
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the draft today. Want to

605
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: hear from you. We've had we've had draft conversation on

606
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: this show really since the Senior Bowl right third week,

607
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: fourth week of January, so it's been about three months

608
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: of nothing, well not nothing, but but mostly draft conversation,

609
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: and we wrap it up today and tonight and kind

610
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: of boil it down for our Twitter. It's not a poll,

611
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: but our Twitter question, our question of the day is

612
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: very simple, and you've you've paid attention to it. I

613
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: got people calling me today who I didn't even think

614
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: they paid attention to the NFL or the Bills, let

615
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: alone the draft, and they're telling me who the Bills

616
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: should pay. Okay, but here's there's here's the issue. Where

617
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: hours away now from the draft. You can see about

618
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: seven a half hours away from Round one of the

619
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. Pretty simple question, who do you want the

620
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: Bills to take in this first round? And why? That's all?

621

00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: and people who tweet in. But who do you want

626
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: the Bills to take in the first round tonight with

627
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: their first pick, let's say? And why? What would you

628
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: like to see happen tonight? Do you have a favorite player,

629
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: do you have a guy you've had your eye on

630
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: for a couple of months or maybe even longer than that.

631
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: Who do you think the Bills should make their first

632
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: pick tonight? And tell us why again. Phone lines open

635
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: You can send in a tweet. There is no Twitter poll,

636
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: but we'll take the tweets and maybe read some of

637
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: them on the tweet sheet. Clutch Hustle tweets this sin TJ. Hockinson.

638
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: He wants and he is the people's choice, by the way, right.

639
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm gonna keep track today of who people want.

640
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: It's gronk Envy. Yeah, Clutch Hutchell says t J. Hockinson.

641
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: He gives Josh Ellen a big target to three to

642
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 1: that can block for them. Also, I get that I

643
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: like TJ. Hockinson a lot. He wouldn't be my first selection.

644
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: Actually we should probably get years in my first selection.

645
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: Ye see. But I get it why people might say

646
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: that he is there, he is their pick. I get it,

647
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: and it goes all over and I think this is

648
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: Billy Bills fans says this, And I think a lot

649
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: of And this is kind of where you and I

650
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: are for the first time I can remember, I don't care.

651
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: We have our quarterback. We're definitely going to get another

652
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: good player offense defense. I am good with either. And

653
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: that's right, listen, that's where you want to be. That's

654
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: where the Bills have claimed they were in the past.

655
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: In years and years past, they always thought I was

656
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna take the best player of You can really believe

657
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: that this year. Certainly there's like three or four positions

658
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: that you're looking at. The defensive line, offensive line, that

659
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: tight end Hockinson. I think Hockinson is the class of

660
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: tight ends. None of the other tight ends even holds

661
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: any iota of interest for me, even Noah Fan the

662
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: other kid who out of Iowa, who's a really good player.

663
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: But there's that, and then there's offensive line, defensive line,

664
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: the tight end, and wide receiver. Certainly, with those four positions,

665
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: maybe you need this guy or can get a guy.

666
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: But I'm not screaming for anything. No, I mean either,

667
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: And I like, but who's that Billy Billy Billson? And

668
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: look I get I agree with him, And to say

669
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't care it kind of indicates it. Len. Yeah,

670
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: who cares Bills traffic. I'm not there at all. I

671
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: don't think Billy Bills fan is either. It's like trust

672
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: the position they're in ninth overall, with all these good

673
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: players hitting spots that the Bills need players. In that sense,

674
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't care. I am confident they're going to get

675
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: a good player in the first round tonight with their

676
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: first pick. They're going to get a good player, probably

677
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: just one, but who knows, right, based on what they've

678
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: done last year, And with that confidence in the back

679
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: of my mind, I too, I don't have a guy

680
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: that I absolutely have to have. Well documented on the show.

681
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: Is my admiration for DK Metcalf. I get it probably

682
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: doesn't belong up there at number nine. He's certainly it

683
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: would be a surprise if he was taken by anyone

684
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: in the top ten. I get that. I like Ed

685
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: Oliver a lot. You would be one of my favorites too.

686
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: But if neither one of those two are available, or

687
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: neither one is the Bill's pick, I'm pretty confident we're

688
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna get the Bill's gonna get a good player. So

689
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I like Billy Bills Fan. I don't care either. I

690
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: don't have a I'm not gonna cry either way. Yeah,

691
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: what about you? And I think it would be my

692
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: favorite pick tonight if it happens. Might not be suitable

693
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: at ninth overall, but my favorite pick would be Metcalf

694
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: if that happens. What about you? Yeah, No, I can't

695
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: do it. I don't think he's good enough to pick it.

696
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know that Hockinson at tight end. I

697
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: don't think a tight end. Given all the there's more

698
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: of those guys that are taken high that are bust

699
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: than there are that are worth it. I mean, Gronk

700
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: was a second round pick, right, that's where you find

701
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: those Get him where they're supposed to be drafted, so

702
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: you don't have all that stuff hanging all over and

703
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: all those expectations and all that pressure. Yeah, it's not sexy,

704
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: it's not exciting, it's not fun, but I think they should.

705
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: They need to take an offensive lineman. If you go

706
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: to some of the websites to go down they'll give

707
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: the big bull. When they call it the big board,

708
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: that's when they put all the prospects college, no matter

709
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: what position they are, in order of where they should

710
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: be drafted. Forget about the order they're gonna be. This

711
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: is the order, and most of them have a guy

712
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: at number nine. It's interesting too. The one I'm looking at,

713
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: t J. Hawkinson, is the ninth best player in this

714
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: draft according to Tankathon Okay. Right right ahead of him

715
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 1: is Dwayne Haskins, and then you know, and right behind

716
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: him at number ten is Jonah Williams. So you've got

717
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor at seven, Haskins the quarterback at eight, Hackinson

718
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: at nine, and Williams at ten. So there's two offensive

719
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: tackles right there in the top ten. That's the one

720
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards, is the offensive tackle one. Yeah, I'll

721
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: take either one of those, Juan Taylor or Jonah Williams.

722
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: I think Jonah Williams I'd like better. He is a

723
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: true left tackle and he's got I think he's a

724
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: culture fit from what I've heard about him off the field.

725
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: And it's not to say that Juan Taylor isn't a

726
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: culture fit guy. I just haven't heard about his personality

727
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: and that's some of the things he does off the field.

728
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams seems to fit the profile of the type

729
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: of personality that the Bills would want on their team. Culturally,

730
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: he does self scouting. He's committed to being good. He's

731
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: a technique. He watches his own film, he watches other film.

732
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: He talks about the position. He seems to have like

733
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: a pro mindset, a pro growth mindset, even as a

734
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: college player, and he's been there for a long time.

735
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: He played two different positions. In the last two years.

736
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: He's been at left tackle, and he doesn't care where

737
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: he plays. He said it openly. So that kind of

738
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: thing fits me now. I think a lot of people

739
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: think Juwan Taylor from Florida, the offensive tackle, is a

740
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: better athletic prospect because he has longer arms, perhaps better

741
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: feed He's a He's bigger, no question, He's a couple

742
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: inches bigger than than Jonah Williams, or maybe a half

743
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: inch or an inch bigger. But he seems to be

744
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: one of those gay he's a right tackle only, which

745
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: would fit with the Bills. I mean they could. They

746
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: could stick him in there, plug him in and forget

747
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: them for ten years theoretically. So either one of those

748
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: guys fits with what the Buffalo Bills could do and

749
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: it would improve them. Even though they've made huge strides

750
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: in the free agent market this offseason. Those are the

751
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: guys either one of those top two offensive tackles of

752
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: guys I'm leaning towards towards get it because both of

753
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: them are plug in. Play them. They'll have some growth pains,

754
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: but they're not going to be even their errors aren't

755
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: going to be egregious enough with the quality of guys

756
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: they have around them now that they're They're just an easy, very,

757
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: really good, solid way to make your team a lot better.

758
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: So that's the question. It's a simple one today. Who

759
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: do you want the Bills to take in the first round?

760
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, we've had prediction questions before on this show

761
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: the last week or so, who do you think they'll take?

762
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: What position you think? Today we're asking you who do

763
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: you want If you could choose one player you want

764
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: the Bills to wind up with tonight, who would it be.

765
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: We'll keep tracking at the end of the show, we'll

766
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: kind of tally it up and let you know what

767
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: the Bills fans think. Give us a call eight oh

770
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: Who do you want the Bills to take with their

771
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: first selection in the draft. Tonight, let's take a call here.

772
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bernie in Connecticut. Hello, Bernie, welcome to

773
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: the show. Hey, how you doing, John? How are you doing? Steve?

774
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: Love guys show always thank you Bernie listening guy. I

775
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: one really loves us TJ. TJ from Iowa. I know

776
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: you guys are just talking about that. And I before

777
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: you even go off on me, John had a tight

778
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: end ever in our life. I don't care about all

779
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: that stuff. Good So does it doesn't matter in this draft?

780
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: Do we agree? Bernie? It doesn't matter? I agree. I

781
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: say the reason why is Brian Dable's system tight end formation.

782
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: You know we can stretch the field. This guy's a

783
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: real blocker. You don't hear that much about a blocking

784
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: tight end, as you know, coming out of college as

785
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: such pristine. So I really say, let's go for this

786
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: guy if they get a DK your guy. Um. I

787
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: think he's just a one like him, love his speed,

788
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: but I just don't think we can utilize him like

789
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: he's got Jay And I will agree with you on this, Bernie.

790
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: If you're saying this, Hockinson would be more ready to

791
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: plug and play than Metcalf would I look at Metcalf

792
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: as a to be honest, maybe a later first round

793
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: prospect who they're going to have to develop coach, which

794
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: is important. Hockinson requires from coaching too, But he could

795
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: he'll step right in and be the number one tight

796
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: end if they draft him. Yeah, I mean, it's just

797
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: warn you about this. I mean, and I said this.

798
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: My picks are offensive line. I know. Offensive linemen are not,

799
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, exciting and sexy picks. You know. For let

800
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: me just tell you something. You want to talk about

801
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: an unsexy pick. It's a blocking tight ends Hockinson and

802
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've heard it's a He's good. He's

803
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: a great blocker, and that's one of the things you

804
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: always hear about him. He's a three down tight end.

805
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, he'd better be able to

806
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: get out on the route. He'd better be able to

807
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: do it, and he can't. He tracks the ball, we

808
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: know that, and you see the highlights he does get out.

809
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: He does. He does have an understanding of how to

810
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: get open in zone and man. But listen, blocking time

811
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: you talk, that is the most unsexy pick of the

812
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: entire draft of blocking tight end. Yeah, Steve. When people

813
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: talk about Hockinson, I've heard this a lot over the

814
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: last few dominates. He is a dominant blocker. He's not

815
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: just a good capable blocker. He's dominant pass protection and

816
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: run blocking. Put a backup tackle in there if you

817
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: want to block. You know I mean, but you know

818
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: what I mean. You're right. It does create some matchups.

819
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: But the question is if he's a dominant blocker, that

820
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: is awesome, But he's if he's going to be a

821
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: tight end in the NFL, if he's going to be

822
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: a player like Gronkowski or Kelsey or Heath, Heath Miller

823
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: or you know, you name it, you name a Billy,

824
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, go down the list. If he's gonna be

825
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys, that, wow, this guy's a matchup

826
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: problem for us that you know, he's got to do

827
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: it all. He's got to do it all at the

828
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: NFL level. If you have any qualms about him, his speed,

829
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: his niftiness in routes, his hands, his ability to block

830
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: any of that, you can't take him at nine. You

831
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 1: can't take him at nine. That guy's got to be

832
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: outstanding at every level. You've got to know when you

833
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: step in there. He's gonna get open against safeties in

834
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. He's going to outrun all the linebackers. He's

835
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna do well, and I don't know that about him.

836
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: He certainly did it at Iowa where he's playing against

837
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: less than NFL talent, but I don't know that he's

838
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do it at this level. That's

839
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: that's my that's my only concern about a tight end

840
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: at number nine in this draft. No question, he might

841
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: be a good player. He may even be a great player,

842
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: but I don't know at this level. There's so many

843
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: things that he has to do well that he's never

844
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: been tested at it this level that I don't know about.

845
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: Who do you want the Bills to take tonight with

846
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: their first pick? Let us know. Here's a call from

847
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: Chris and Myrtle beach Cello. Chris, go ahead, Hey, gentlemen,

848
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: how you guys doing today? Well? Very well? M Yeah, So,

849
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: I would you know, love to see at Oliver. We

850
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: need the linemen to you know, shoot that gap kind

851
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: of like what Kyle did. We have star up those

852
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: double teams and you know, I think Jerry and I

853
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: think Shack will have a pretty decent year. So I think,

854
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: you know, it wouldn't be the end of the world

855
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: if we trade it up, because I do think let

856
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: the trade up to get at Oliver. But if we

857
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: stay at nine Steve, I think there's nothing sexier than

858
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: a stud lineman that can protect your stud quarterback. So yeah,

859
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: I hope that we pull it off. Well. No tight

860
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: ends or wide receivers in the first route, though, we

861
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: don't need them. Okay, yeah, I mean we could use

862
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: them if they're great, But there's a big question mark.

863
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: And here's here's my thing about Hockinson. You and I

864
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: agree with you. The offensive lineman. You already know that,

865
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: but it and we all know it. That's why we

866
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: haven't seen one in Buffalo for thirty years. Murph. It's

867
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: really hard to be a truly great tight end in

868
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: the NFL where you're on the field all three downs,

869
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: we've seen one grunk. The other tight ends you mentioned,

870
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: all of them are well. He catches the ball really well.

871
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a liability. He's a liability

872
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: in the run game, though, right you never see a

873
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: guy like that. They are impossible to find. They're impossible

874
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: to find until you meet one, you have to defend him.

875
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: You can't find him. The one guy that jumps to

876
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: mind and he's coming back actually is Witten from the Cowboys.

877
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: I think he was a good dual threat, really good

878
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: dual threat, maybe pro Hall of Fame caliber tight end,

879
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: Jason Witten. I really he's a Hall of Fame caliber guy.

880
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm fine with that, no question. He could

881
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: do it all. He could do both. Now, he wasn't

882
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: a spectacular playmaker lake Rankowski, but he could. He could

883
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: do it all. Witten. There's a ton of guys out there,

884
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: and um, you look at the guy that m Philip

885
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: Rivers has been thrown to all that his years, and

886
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: I can't. Yeah, I look him up, Yeah, look him up.

887
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: And there's Jimmy Graham. There's uh Dallas Clark if you

888
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: remember him from the great Indianapolis Colts team. Those guys

889
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: are all pass catchers. Travis Kelsey, they're pass catchers. Jimmy

890
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: Graham is is definitely a pass catcher. You can go

891
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: down the list and see and and even Tony Gonzalez,

892
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: it was maybe the greatest tight end of all time,

893
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: was a pass catcher. He's a big six seven, big

894
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: target guy who'd post people up. So you you know,

895
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: it's hard to find guys who were dominant tight ends.

896
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: Gronk was the one. But lets face it, we all

897
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: know Gronk because he was catching balls and throwing guys

898
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: off and running down the field in the run game.

899
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of had to be told he

900
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: was good, right, Yeah, it was the passing thing that

901
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: really set him apart. And it's just here's the thing,

902
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: I guess I'm what I'm saying is this. I know

903
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: how hard it is to find a great tight end

904
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: in this league. I know how hard it is for

905
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 1: a tight end to be a dominant player in this league.

906
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: That's why Gronk was such an anomaly that I just

907
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: have a hard time believe in a twenty one, twenty

908
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: two year old kid, he's gonna be that guy. Antonio

909
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: Gates was the name we were both looking for a

910
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: great end for the Chargers. The caller Chris started out

911
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: talking about at Oliver. We talked about this with the

912
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: job pascalon yesterday. The fact that the Bills most likely,

913
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: if they're gonna get it, crack it, at Oliver would

914
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: have to move up from nine, maybe move up to seven,

915
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: maybe move up to five. Joe was talking about. Oliver

916
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: is aware of the Buffalo interest. He did a visit

917
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: here and he talked to reporters in Nashville late yesterday

918
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: about the Buffalo bills, about what the bills need and

919
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: now we might fit the bill. Here's Oliver from yesterday

920
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Great place to be. I went out there.

921
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: I can say they facilities are amazing. Uh, and just

922
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: put that out there. They feeling is the facilities a

923
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: top notch um? You know they skin Gray fits me.

924
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,879
Speaker 1: They needed three techniques. So if it's me that they

925
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: call on, hey, I'm coming. They obviously missing a guy there.

926
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: Guy just retired. He was a great, a great I

927
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: would like to actually watch his film and see how

928
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: he stayed around so long. But uh, I think I

929
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: can come in right away and step up to the

930
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: play and play. They have a unique situation where guy

931
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: retired and they actually need somebody to come in and

932
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: play right away. So that'll be a blessing. Of course,

933
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: he's talking about Kyle Williams, and he's right. They have

934
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: a need and exactly the position he plays. He is

935
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: a he's a really good player. He's some measurables that

936
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: don't quite stack up. Yeah, he's about fifteen pounds lighter

937
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: than Kyle. Yep, but he'd be a different player. He

938
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: might be you know, I'm not going to say better,

939
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: but he might be quicker and more explosive than Kyle Williams. Right. Well,

940
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: he'll have his own tool set that'll be a little

941
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: bit different than Kyle, but he will have him Theoretically,

942
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: you've got you gotta get a fast motor. He's got that.

943
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: Uh might be a little faster than Kyle. Certainly he's

944
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: faster than Kyle was at the end of his career. Yeah,

945
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: but you can tell too when he's talking to you

946
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: about his lights are on. You know, he's a sharp kid. Uh,

947
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: he's got he's put some thought into what's out there,

948
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: why he's why he's valuable to a team, their scheme,

949
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: he's been told, he's he's digested all this. Um. Yeah,

950
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: he just seems like the right kind of guy. So

951
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot and let's face it, though at this point,

952
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: he may not make it to number nine. Yeah, I

953
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: was just thinking he'll take some maneuvering, you would think, uh,

954
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: some creativity for the bills, which they're capable of. They

955
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: do that well, and it will take some assets to

956
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: move up to get him. Were kind of doing some

957
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: calculations today. It'll take probably, you know, the equivalent of

958
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: a this year's third rounder to move up to what

959
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: did I say? Seven? And he might not be available

960
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: at seven, right, somebody might get If the Bills jump

961
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: two spots up to Jacksonville to get a guy like

962
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, it'll take their number nine pick and the

963
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: third rounder. They're only they're only third round, so that's

964
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: a it's a steep price. Yep. All right, we're breaking,

965
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: we're coming back. Steve Tasker, John Murphy, who do you

966
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: want the Bills to take tonight? Simple question, Let us

Speaker 1: know what you think. Eight three five fifty toll free

968
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. It's

969
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: one Bills live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bills Radio.

970
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: It's live from one Bill's Drive, John Murphy, Steve Tasker,

971
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: Draft Day eight o'clock to Mink will be on the

972
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: radio at eight o'clock on our flagship here in Buffalo,

973
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: w g R Sports Radio five fifty. Steve and I

974
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: had to follow along with the draft, will have the

975
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: picks as they are being made. We'll have our incisive

976
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: analysis and what it means to the Buffalo Bills. You

977
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: can't get that anywhere else in real time except right

978
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: here eight o'clock to nine on the radio. Mur Go, okay,

979
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: ask me. Well, I'm not sure I'm going to ask

980
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: you the right question. But we did a piece a

981
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: Twitter poll last weekend. Think it was through the Bills,

982
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: trade up, trade down, or stay at number nine? It's

983
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: and most people were not in favor of a trade up.

984
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: But keep this in mind, and Brandon Bean's first draft

985
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: with the Bills last year, he traded up twice in

986
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: the first round right to get both first rounds. They

987
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 1: are not shy. They're not shy, and they're unpredictable and

988
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: surprisingly under predictable. They shock you sometimes with the boldness

989
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: of the moves they make. So what do you think,

990
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: trade up? Trade down? I look, I hope they don't. Well,

991
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that because they might get

992
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: a great player. They might have to trade up to

993
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: get at Oliver, but I don't want to see like

994
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: a mass exodus of draft assets to go somewhere to

995
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: get one player. I don't know if they feel strongly

996
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: enough that there is one player that would merit. Depends

997
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: on what goes out the door in a question. But listen,

998
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: recent history has told us everybody there's going to be

999
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: some movement in the top ten that includes our team,

1000
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: the Bills. They're going to be in that conversation at

1001
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: some point, and the Bills may be looking to flip

1002
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: flop three or four or five spots all the way

1003
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: up to whatever. Number four. Oakland is an incredibly prime

1004
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: candidate to trade down because they've got three first round

1005
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: picks already, so they've got ammunition to do that, particularly

1006
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: given the fact that their roster is a mess. They've

1007
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: got a first time general manager. They would like to

1008
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: take probably more swings at the home run than having

1009
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: all the pressure of doing number four getting number four.

1010
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: Their roster is full holes. They would love to have

1011
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 1: more picks, and dropping down to number nine for whatever

1012
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: would take or whatever is a plus for them, Tampa Bay,

1013
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: all those teams. It is the only thing you hear

1014
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: around the NFL coming out of the gms and and

1015
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: presidents and all the people that are mouthpieces for their organizations,

1016
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: is that everybody in the top of the draft is

1017
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: willing to talk about trading down everybody, and that goes

1018
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: all the way down into the mid twenties. I got

1019
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: people telling me there was an article coming out of

1020
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: Philadelphia yesterday that the Eagles want to trade down their

1021
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: number twenty three in this draft. I mean, so, with

1022
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: all of that market going one way, the Bills may

1023
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: find an opportunity to go the other way, to go

1024
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: back up at the top of the draft for less

1025
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: than what it would cost in other years and with

1026
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: less risk. Why would it cost less than other years,

1027
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: because there's everybody, this isn't if you're not doing it

1028
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: at four, we can get a better deal. We can

1029
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: go to number five and set at number four and

1030
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: pay you know whatever, that much less. These jams know

1031
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: what's going on. They can all see it, and you'd

1032
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: strike the best deal you can and you get it

1033
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: from less than it would have cost last year. Can

1034
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: you imagine last year would have cost to jump up.

1035
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to imagine. You can look at them,

1036
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: look at somebody might be desperate exactly, they say, listen,

1037
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: we don't like this guy or the guy we wanted

1038
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: was just taken. Now do we need some more picks?

1039
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: The price goes down, particularly for the fact that we're

1040
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: only we're at number nine. We flip with them at

1041
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: number nine, they're only losing four guys four spaces. Yeah,

1042
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: so there's that possibility. How you're seeing the chart, you've

1043
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: seen what it would take. Yeah. Yeah. And here's the

1044
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: other thing. I would not want to touch next year's

1045
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: draft assets, and I wouldn't really want to get too

1046
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: involved in treading away players currently on the rosters. So

1047
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: what you're talking about are this year what I'm talking about,

1048
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: and I would be open to, if not receptive to,

1049
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: or this year's picks. Now, we mentioned it a couple

1050
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: of times the last few days. The Bills have all

1051
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: of their draft picks. Most of their draft picks in

1052
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: the final four rounds, right, seven picks in the final

1053
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: four rounds, five in the final three rounds. Add them up,

1054
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: and they don't amount too much. It's hard to make

1055
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: a move with those racks. They're just not valuable enough

1056
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: to move you around the top. So all everybody who

1057
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: thinks that the Bills should and listen, you get this

1058
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: all the time, they should trade back and then trade

1059
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: back into the first round. Again. They don't have enough

1060
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: draft picks. Without that number nine. If you trade out

1061
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: of that number nine spot, you are bereft of enough

1062
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 1: value in this draft to get back into the first round. Late.

1063
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: You just don't have enough. Even with the two picks

1064
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth, two picks in the fifth, and two

1065
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: picks in the seventh, that's not going to be enough

1066
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: value to get you back into the second not even

1067
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: maybe not even the second, yeah, to get another to

1068
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: get back. Like I say, if you've trade your first

1069
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: round or go back to twenty three or fifteen, you

1070
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: take what you get from that, You're still not gonna

1071
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: have enough to get back into the first round at

1072
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty six or twenty three or twenty four. You're not

1073
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna have an You're gonna give away five or six

1074
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: picks at least you're gonna have a half a dozen

1075
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: picks to get back into the into the first round

1076
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: in the high thirties or high twenties and thirty. So

1077
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: you know, you're just not gonna do it because there's

1078
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: just not gonna be enough value coming back for that

1079
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: number nine pick. It's just the way it is. So

1080
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: your point is there's gonna be movement, and you think

1081
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: the Bills might be part of it. They may. I

1082
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: think there's no question somebody's gonna want their number nine pick.

1083
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: From what we've heard and what the general consensus is

1084
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: about this draft, you get outside the top ten or

1085
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: top twelve, maybe there's this precipitous drop off. There's a

1086
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: precipitous drop off. So those top ten or twelve picks

1087
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: are premium this year. After that, from that point, from

1088
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: the number twelve or the first round to the last

1089
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: of the third round, everybody's kind of the same. You're

1090
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get good spots, good players who

1091
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: are evaluated not exactly but close to the same Value're

1092
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be unhappy with any of them, but none

1093
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: of them are going to blow your socks off. That's

1094
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: how it is in this draft. So those top twelve

1095
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: to fifteen picks are really premium in this draft. So

1096
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta work with. I'm gonna talk more

1097
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: about this, but I would say I think quarterbacks are

1098
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: the key. And when you start talking about three or

1099
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: even four quarterbacks going in the first round, a couple

1100
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in the top ten, that's where the building

1101
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: that changes everything. Yeah, we'll talk more about that. We

1102
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: got the runs of Alexander coming by when we come

1103
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: back after the top, but the hour come on back

1104
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: with us. One goes live from one Bill's Drive on

Speaker 1: Round one of the NFL Draft. The Bills with the

1108
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: ninth overall selection. As it stands, the Arizona Cardinals have

1109
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: the first pick in the draft, and in a rarity,

1110
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: they also have the last pick, which means, barring to trade,

1111
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals will select first and select last Mister Irrelevant

1112
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: this year on Saturday. The two teams with the most

1113
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: picks in the draft are the Giants with twelve and

1114
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots with twelve, followed by the Bengals with eleven.

1115
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: The Bills have ten. The team with the fewest picks

1116
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 1: is Seattle with only four. The Bears. You can ignore

1117
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: them tonight because they do not have a pick until

1118
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: the third round. Along with the Bears, three other teams

1119
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: sitting out the first round barring a trade, the Browns,

1120
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,800

1122
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,960

Speaker 1: and Steve Tasker. The draft goes on rain er shine

1124
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: in Nashville tonight. Thursday's weather forecast in Nashville calls for rain.

1125
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: The league says it has contingency plans for the open

1126
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: air venue to move inside if it gets worse and

1127
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: if they cannot play. Drew Locke, quarterback from Missouri, says

1128
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 1: that he'd prefer an ideal landing spot rather than prefer

1129
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: where he goes in the draft. He said, I'd rather

1130
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: go to number thirty two in the first round than

1131
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: number one to a bad team. We'll talk about that

1132
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: as the afternoon goes along. The NFL has sent a

1133
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: warning letter to Tom Coughlin, Jaguars executive vice president of

1134
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: football Operations, about his criticism of players who did not

1135
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: attend their voluntary offseason workhouts last week. Coughlin was not fine,

1136
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: but the letter warned him that any future comments could

1137
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: lead to discipline in the form of a fine Orport

1138
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: came out last week saying the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have

1139
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: told defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to not attend this week's

1140
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: voluntary offseason program. McCoy may be on the trade market

1141
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: is continued absence comes on the heels of a Bruce

1142
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: arians noncommittal comments at the annual league meetings about his

1143

1149
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: the Syracuse Mets. Where I was gonna be crazy. It

1150
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: is the lowdown. We've got the lowdown on offseason conditioning program,

1151
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: the lowdown on Lorenzo's you the draft. Lorenzo joins us

Speaker 1: Good to see him. Man about the greatest season. We're

1155
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: up to our eyeballs in it. I know, I know,

1156
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: it's a crazy time, right yeah. And because it's not

1157
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: just about you know, the guys in this building, it's

1158
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: about thirty two other teams, you know, I mean, it's

1159
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: like everybody's in the same game all the same weekend

1160
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: on the same day, right, yea, all the box drafts

1161
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: and all the commentary around it is it's just crazy

1162
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: to me. We've talked about this with you a lot.

1163
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: You went undrafted when you came into the league in

1164
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. Um, did you ever think, man,

1165
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: I missed out on all the excitement of a draft

1166
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: and in the pre draft build up there. Um, I mean,

1167
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: of course, I mean you feel, yeah, you feel like

1168
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: you missed out on something because that's your dream, right,

1169
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, to be able to walk across the stage,

1170
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: shake the commissioner's hand, and and it's kind of a

1171
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: big party for all the compliments you put in since

1172
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: you were the age of probably six or seven for

1173
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: most guys, all the way through high school and college,

1174
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: you know. And obviously as I'm matured and look back,

1175
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: I understand why to get drafted. You know, I just

1176
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: didn't take football in my life serious when I was

1177
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: in in um college, and so I didn't get drafted

1178
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: because I didn't perform high enough to get drafted. But

1179
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: obviously I learned from that mistake and it made the

1180
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: best of my opportunities. Afterwards. Steve heard me said this.

1181
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: He's tooking me saying this the last few days, but

1182
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, and you might appreciate this more

1183
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: than anybody. Look, it's a big day. This, the next

1184
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: three days, a huge day for these young men and

1185
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: these teams to get these players. But I think we

1186
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: sometimes overlook the importance of coaching and development. Right, this

1187
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 1: is one step. There's an awful big component that follows,

1188
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: and it's a lot to do with who these people

1189
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: are and what kind of guidance he get. Right, it's

1190
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: the obviously the end of their college career, but really

1191
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of their professional career. And it shouldn't be

1192
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: a well, I've made it type of feeling, right, It's

1193
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: more of Okay, I'm about to get started. And so

1194
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: it's I think it's more of the mindset of the

1195
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: player coming in. Obviously you have to have great coaching

1196
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: and support system for these great guys, But for me,

1197
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: it always goes back to the individual having a personal

1198
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: and self accountability and awareness of who you are and

1199
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: what you want to do. And can't just assume what

1200
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 1: you did in college is going to translate into the NFL,

1201
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: because nine times out of ten, it's not because you're not,

1202
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, an outlier athlete, you know, maybe like a

1203
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: Barclay or some other guys Julio Jones throughout the years

1204
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: who can probably just come in and be dominant right away.

1205
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: Most guys, you have to work for this, the little techniques,

1206
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: the drills, the football I you and obviously you are coaching,

1207
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: and the other players there help you to that process.

1208
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: And the more you're you're open to receive that, I think,

1209
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: the faster you're gonna own a track that you want

1210
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, it's interesting too because this is one

1211
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: of the most optimistic days in the NFL calendar. Every

1212
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: team feels like a winner because fans and us included,

1213
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: and you always project the most positive result for all

1214
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: these prospects. I think, wow, you know, and we've got

1215
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: this guy, and you know what, this this fifth round

1216
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: pick we got from East nowhere state. You know, he

1217
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: did pretty well each kind of you know, so you're projecting,

1218
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, three weeks later the kid's gone. But yeah,

1219
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: you just it's so optimistic at this time because everybody

1220
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: projects these guys. And yeah, and here's the thing. The

1221
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: number one pick of the draft has just as much

1222
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: chance of being a bust as myster irrelevant. Yeah, I

1223
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: mean that's true. I mean I really happened. Now guy

1224
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: has more of a least but yeah, I mean if

1225
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't put the work in and do the things

1226
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: that needs to do, staying healthy, take care of his body.

1227
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: Being in the playbook, I think there's probably been more,

1228
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 1: probably first round bust and later guys, because later guys

1229
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: tend to have that chip on the show them when

1230
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: they come in. So yeah, it's easy thought, and it's

1231
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: all about because here's the thing. Certainly, the guys at

1232
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: the top of the draft have a lot going for him, size, speed,

1233
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: all the measurable things, you know, but there's a million

1234
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: things behind that that everybody. Every guy's got the support system,

1235
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: a work ethic, a commitment, intelligence, all the things that

1236
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: go into the intangiles. You can't measure that get poured

1237
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: into these guys, and that means they all have that

1238
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: equal amount or not of that exactly right, and you

1239
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: can't measure it. So the guys at the back of

1240
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: their draft, and for your right, it's a huge motivating

1241
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: factor when you get drafted in the fifth, sixth, seventh

1242
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: round that you don't have in that first second third round,

1243
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 1: you know where you know, you get that thing like, yeah, okay,

1244
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: they know I can play a right, so all I

1245
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: gotta do is just like not mess this up right.

1246
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 1: Well in the in the meantime, you got three guys

1247
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: on the roster ahead of you or at the same

1248
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: position as you that don't have that mentality like I'm

1249
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 1: gonna beat you out out, So all of that stuff

1250
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: goes into the mix, which you know, like I said,

1251
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: it's a positive day for everybody, but there's gonna be

1252
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of disappointment in about six months. Oh yeah.

1253
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: And it always works out like that because guys who

1254
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: get drafted, how you find out they can't play, and

1255
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: like you's mentioned in guys that go undrafted or lower rounds.

1256
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: Oh man, this dude is a ball. It makes it

1257
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: makes who he is, right, So you know, it's it's

1258
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: it's the starting point, as we mentioned, and over the

1259
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: next you know, six months to you know, a year,

1260
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: year and a half, it's really where you start figuring

1261
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: out who these guys really are and how they're translating

1262
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right, um, tomorrow they'll have whoever they pick

1263
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: most likely in the building and he'll be all suited up,

1264
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, the Joe. They'll show them around you maybe

1265
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: you're wandering around and you're bumping him in the hallway.

1266
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: What do you tell that guy, that new Buffalo Bill

1267
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: and not give times. It happened so fast because they

1268
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: are on a real strict U you know, scheduling the

1269
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: tour of the building. I mean, I saw Tremaine last

1270
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: year and his dad and there was able to say,

1271
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: what's up, you know, welcome to have you and move on.

1272
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: What I thought was unique this year that I've I've

1273
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: never at least I've never been a part of it,

1274
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: is that the Bills put together this um film or

1275
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: like short video of guys, current guys on the team,

1276
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: and as far as what to expect um to tell

1277
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: these young guys when they come in and I know

1278
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: the draft picks that get to watch this video and

1279
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: you know obviously have me Micah, Jerry, guys that have

1280
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: been here can tell them about the city, about this

1281
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: team and culture that we're trying to build, and what

1282
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: we expect of them as young guys coming into this building.

1283
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: Yet here you told the guys be ready to take

1284
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: my order when you said you yeah, y'all all just

1285
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: being funny. Yeah, I said, make sure you bring a

1286
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: pin and pad, you know, so you can take my

1287
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: order down that you know, a Chick fil a something

1288
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: when I when I send you out. Because these guys

1289
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: these days, they forget they got a lot of going on.

1290
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure my order is right.

1291
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, never changes though, you know what I mean.

1292
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: So we're going back and forth, and you know, you

1293
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: look back at the last two drafts, and the word

1294
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: is it you'd like get like three starters out of

1295
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: every draft. If you get four, and you can get

1296
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: four and back to back, here's man, you're you're killing it.

1297
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: Plus you got young guys, right, So, and twenty and seventeen,

1298
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: you've got five guys that are on the roster from

1299
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: that draft. Three of them are starters. And if that's in,

1300
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: if you don't count Zay Jones as a starter, right,

1301
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: you got Matt Milano, Dion Dockinson, Radevious White, and then

1302
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: you've got Zay Jones, who you know did play significant

1303
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: snaps on twenty eighteen. This last year, you had eight picks, right, no,

1304
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: nine picks, and you've still got one, two, three, four, five,

1305
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: six guys, seven guys that are still on the roster, right,

1306
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty good. Yeah, that's the key. I mean,

1307
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: obviously a GM wants to be able to build his team. Obviously,

1308
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: Brandon and Shane have been here for two years now.

1309
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: I think this is Brandon's with second draft, Sean's third

1310
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: and over time. You know, obviously want to continue to

1311
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: bring in talent. But the guys that you have and

1312
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: you stockpiled as well, you're just creating competition. So I

1313
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: think the further a GM and head coach are together

1314
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: those picks. Obviously, your first rounder is going to be,

1315
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, penciled in as a starter, but those other

1316
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: guys they got to come and to compete because you

1317
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: think as a gym and head you've built a team

1318
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: that's going to be winning, successful and you have kind

1319
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: of like pencilty and starters, and you just added to

1320
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: the competition to raise the play of the game and

1321
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: obviously to get to the playoffs and win a championship. Yeah,

1322
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: it is eight guys off the in the NFL draft

1323
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: last year in twenty eighteen at eight picks, not nine, Yeah,

1324
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: but seven of them are still on the club and

1325
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot of them, most of them had significant snaps

1326
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: this last year. It took some of them a long time,

1327
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: like you know, someone took them wild to get back

1328
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: on the get on the field, like whyatt Teller you

1329
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: got on the second half of the season, development and

1330
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: some of that stuff. You know. So you got a

1331
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who you could say, quote unquote or starters,

1332
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: but not all of them are projected the starters this year, right, right,

1333
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: So you gotta think that's kind of that's what you're

1334
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: looking at from this draft this year. You can't think

1335
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna get six starters out of this group. No,

1336
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: And and I think that kind of goes to your

1337
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: your your trade up, you know, proposed trist your off air.

1338
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: If you feel like you have some young guys that

1339
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: played a lot last year and that gonna take that

1340
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: next step, because obviously we had these first two weeks.

1341
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: You see how they're doing, how they're receiving stuff in

1342
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: the classroom, maybe you're willing to take let me trade up.

1343
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't need these other picks because I have guys

1344
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: that I feel are going to be able to step

1345
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: into that into that position and play anyway. And you

1346
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: can maybe get an elite guy by going up four

1347
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: or five picks and I don't know what's going to happen.

1348
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: But that's what sometimes gyms may feel based on, you know,

1349
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: projections that they have on guys that's currently on the

1350
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: roster that fans may be not aware of. You're sitting

1351
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: here with more depth than you had last year. Yeah,

1352
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: so you don't need fifteen picks. You can go on

1353
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: and get three guys that are gonna contribute right, throw

1354
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: away three or four picks to trade up exactly, and

1355
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: you can still get the exactly what you want out

1356
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: of the draft. Would you watch the draft today? Um? Well,

1357
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I'll be driving, so I'll probably probably have it on

1358
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: the radio. You know, we're going down to um, yeah,

1359
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: South Park High School today. Dot com you can listen

1360
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: to us. So yeah, I'll check it out. But I

1361
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: haven't really I haven't really sat through the drafts. I

1362
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: wasn't drafted because I watched the whole draft, and so

1363
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: I've gotten back into it more of late because I'm

1364
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: more in a commentary, you know, analysts type position, so

1365
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: I want to kind of know what's going on. But

1366
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm not missing nothing at all. You got that, right,

1367
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: Let's face it. When we're sitting here at one Bill's Drive.

1368
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: If they ain't talking about the Bills, I am not interested, right, yeah,

1369
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: might I might bend a near if they're talking about

1370
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: the Jets or Miami. I don't listen to Patriots stuff

1371
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: because they never pick who you think, you know what,

1372
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: they picked some guys, right, they pick you know, a

1373
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: guy because they always late in the first right, So

1374
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, And he's sitting It's like when you

1375

1383
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: champions bell. Yeah, I didn't know. I met Eddie Borrow

1384
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah he has. He carried the place like

1385
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: twenty fifty yards. I didn't even have that my radar.

1386
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm Borrow because my goal is thing I finished top.

1387
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: I think I finished seventh to eighth this week. I'm

1388
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: number two on the board right now overall. Who's number

1389
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: one over on Jones? Yeah, but he got lifted the

1390
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: week last week, so he and he got five additional

1391
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: points in another competition we do. So I'm right where

1392
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I need to be, three points behind. He's nickel and

1393
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: diamond yet, so I'm good. I'm not right where I

1394
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: want to be at. So I'm definitely gonna win the

1395
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: belt at the end of the season where I can

1396
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: just take it home and put it up on my

1397
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: wall in my gym. That run with the plates though

1398
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: that looks brutal, what I mean, it's really your your

1399
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: your grip gives out. It's two point you just have

1400
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: to let go. And it's it's not because you're not

1401
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: mentally strong enough. Your your body just gives up on you.

1402
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: They just slip out, ye, slip out. Yeah. They handles

1403
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: are usually you gotta eat, drip it, pinch it, or

1404
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: use Guys kind of put their fingertips underneath the little lip.

1405
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah right, you gotta do that. But still there's no

1406
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: loop loop through hand yeah. Yeah, and they make sure

1407
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm just describe what you get a forty five pound

1408
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: play in each hand and you kind of pinch it

1409
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: with your fingers and your thumb and just hold it

1410
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: like a like a piece of paper, right, and you

1411
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: walk and which, why don't you guys go faster because

1412
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: they won't let us run they want I don't even

1413
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: know if running would help because then the plates are moving. Yeah,

1414
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: that's more in the grips. So he just go as

1415
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: far as you can go, right, Yeah, just keep walking

1416
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: until you drop them. And guys are like, what's what

1417
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: we were talking about? Thirty five forty yards? If you

1418
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: want to be in the top ten, you have to

1419
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: go over I think one thirty. Most guys are probably

1420
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: between one thirty and one sixty. And then Eddie just

1421
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: went to fifty like a freak, so nobody was even

1422
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: close to him. The Iron Girl's Competition front of the

1423
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,080

Speaker 1: Shady tweeted that thing out yesterday. We were tied for that.

1427
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta win where you can win. You

1428
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,480

Speaker 1: show up and I'm just as strong, Okay, spending time.

1435
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: So sh He's out there tweeting out this stuff. But

1436
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 1: fortunately for you, you have a fan out west who's

1437
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: promoting your Iron Bill's competition, your mother, right, didn't she

1438
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: tweet out something that, oh, yeah, my mom is my

1439
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: biggest supporter, next to obviously my wife and kids. But

1440
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: she's always supporting me and whatever I do getting ready

1441
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 1: for the game or with us my son one man

1442
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: gang now, And he said loves to compete when and

1443
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: rub it in, especially since he's the old guy. Great

1444
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: job Britain. So yeah, even my mom as a competitor.

1445
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: So this is this is her fault because we will

1446
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: play like Juno or whatever we're playing at the house,

1447
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: and uh, we're videotaping each other if you lose, So

1448
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: it's always fun videotaping each other. Yeah, like if you lose, like,

1449
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: oh who won? You know, make him get him on

1450
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: video to say it. I gotta remember that the program

1451
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: transitions a little bit next week, right, what goes on

1452
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: next week? Yeah, we transition to phase two, and so

1453
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: two of those those days we'll have football school and

1454
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: when we actually get up to go out in the

1455
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: field no helmets and go through position drills and then

1456
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: also do some walkthroughs um non competitive where we can

1457
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 1: line up and adjust the shifts and motions and stuff.

1458
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: So it's still a lot of mental work, but now

1459
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: we get to do a little bit more football movements

1460
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: that will be incorporated instead of doing conditioning. We don't

1461
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: take attendance. But it looks strong and I'm wondering, yeah,

1462
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: part of this, it seems to me, and I think

1463
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: a couple of people to mention this. Yeah, you're doing

1464
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: this work here. It amounts to what a little bit

1465
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: more than a half day here. But now you've got

1466
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: the whole team here in town, which is good, right,

1467
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: It's great just hanging out together. I mean this past

1468
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: week I had a couple of guys over the house,

1469
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: wings and watching the game. I know tomorrow a lot

1470
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: of guys are gonna go watch their Vengeers movies together.

1471
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: So it's a great time to bond get to know

1472
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: each other since we have I think seventeen nineteen new guys,

1473
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: just to kind of hang out and get to know

1474
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: each other. Families, you know, and who you are. You know,

1475
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Sean lets people share their stories and Mitch more share

1476
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: this story today. So getting to know who he is

1477
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: and what makes him tick. It's just really cool to

1478
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: kind of be around this time because you do have

1479
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: a lot of free time. Thing it goes under under

1480
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: the radar. And we just had Tremaine on Tremaine Edmonds

1481
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: on a couple of minutes ago, twelve months ago. You

1482
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: didn't even know who he was, No, not a clue

1483
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: right and now and Jerry Hughes didn't know who he was.

1484
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: And all these guys now, even Murphy Mark, all these

1485
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: guys now it's like they're part of the fan, Like yeah,

1486
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: they're yeah, their family, I mean yeah, I mean my

1487
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: kids call him uncle Tremaine. You know, he's come over

1488
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: to cook dinner for us. Um, so you know all

1489
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: those type of things especially and and for me it

1490
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: means something, Um, I know most people culture, what is

1491
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: that coming you know we weren't wins, but when when

1492
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: things start hitting the family out there, I know who

1493
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: I can count on if something's going wrong, I know

1494
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: I can go to him and talk to him and

1495
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: he knows where it's coming from. And he was responding

1496
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: the right way. Yeah, do you say when things go wrong? Listen,

1497
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: when you're in an NFL team, something always gonna go wrong.

1498
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: I was on some great teams and just to me,

1499
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: things went wrong on those teams. Is on the teams

1500
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: that were you know two and fourteen and five and

1501
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: eleven stuff. Oh, that's what That's what you're in. You're

1502
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: in the business of, you know, problems. Yeah, you're in

1503
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: the business. I mean, that's that's what Sean always says.

1504
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's the story or whoever wins a championship,

1505
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: it's all about how long can a group of men

1506
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,439
Speaker 1: stay together and you can have some good success, start

1507
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: off fast, and then something hits you and then you

1508
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: you deter point fingers and then your season is trash

1509
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: or you can you know, weather the storm. Like we've

1510
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 1: seen in the past, teams and they kind of come

1511
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: together and do something special together. And those teams are

1512
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, oftentimes the teams that are in the playoffs.

1513
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Obviously you need talent to be able to do that

1514
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: as well, and that's what we're trying to build right now.

1515
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: I have the best of both worlds. This is I

1516
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: think something special. And we touched on in a little

1517
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: bit earlier on and you're talking about it last week,

1518
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: but just give us a sense. You're you're playing with

Speaker 1: see what other college is and what those facilities look

1527
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,559

1598
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm giving you credit here, talked about this about the

1599
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 1: last minute information that comes out many cases designed to

1600
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 1: knock a player's stock down. This just pops up on Twitter.

1601
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Per rap sheet Ian Rappaport NFL dot com per rap

1602
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: Sheet teams now NFL teams think Montes sweats heart condition

1603
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: was misdiagnosed at the combine. Additional tests reportedly indicate no risk.

1604
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, teams that may have had

1605
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Montes sweat off the board off their board because of

1606
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: the hard test, maybe put them back on there. It's

1607
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that drives me crazy. In this

1608
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: last week or ten days before the draft, he gets

1609
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: more specific in some of his stuff. He says he

1610
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: was he was diagnosed with hyper trophic cardiomyopathy and it

1611
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: was the sources said that the thickness of sweats heart

1612
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:16,640
Speaker 1: wall was actually um thinner than what they thought it was,

1613
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: and it was too thick. I guess is what they

1614
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: were saying, that the chambers of it, whatever it was misdiagnosed.

1615
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: So now it seems like there's very little risk Vermontes

1616
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:32,839
Speaker 1: Sweat being a health risk, uh, because of his heart condition.

1617
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: So no, so it This is not what I thought

1618
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. I thought was gonna somebody's gonna jump

1619
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: in and throw a wrench in somebody's chances did Yeah,

1620
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: But now now they're saying, oh, not so fast. Now

1621
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, we got four outlets. See what do we

1622
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,839
Speaker 1: got six six and a half hours before the draft?

1623
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: Now Montes Sweats back in the mix. And this this

1624
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: was a guy that has really jumped early in this draft.

1625
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: This is why teams have their own individual metal staffs

1626
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 1: and say, if you're interested in Montes Sweat, and by

1627
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: the way, why wouldn't the Buffalo Bills. Now you go

1628
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: to your medical staff and say, what did you see

1629
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,799
Speaker 1: on your examination? What details do you have a Buffalo

1630
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: Bills team doctors on Montes Sweat's heart condition? What do

1631
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: you what did you have you know at the combine?

1632
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 1: What have you heard since it combine? What did you see? Right?

1633
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,759
Speaker 1: This is where you really lean on your medical staff

1634
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: and I'm sure without reservation, that's exactly what they've already done.

1635
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they've done that already there, they're on top

1636
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: of this without question. So they're medical people have already

1637
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: said yeah no, either yeah, no, he's fine, he's not

1638
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: gonna or or they're saying yeah, they're right, they got

1639
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: it right. But this is something there some some medical

1640
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,600
Speaker 1: person said no, they misdiagnosed it. I don't see that

1641
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: at all. So there's obviously some some difference of opinion there,

1642
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: and you got to go with the people you trust

1643
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: the most. But Montes Sweat now has been uh for

1644
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, or at least a couple of teams.

1645
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:00,080
Speaker 1: It sounds like, has been taken off that risk, that

1646
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: health risk list. And this guy's a talent. Now you

1647
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: saw it from day one. We saw it when we

1648
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: talk about him. The thing that he strikes you about him.

1649
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: He stood out in a group of guys at the

1650
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,959
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl that were made to stand that we're standouts

1651
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,520
Speaker 1: of their own right. He stood out among the standouts.

1652
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: He was voted as a captain among the guys who

1653
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: stood out in their college teams of being standout, this

1654
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 1: guy was voted the guy they wanted to lead them.

1655
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: I think it was the defensive MVP the Senior Bowl,

1656
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: at least one of them. This guy's got some stuff

1657
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 1: at this level. I mean he's he's he's a prospect.

1658
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: He's a really good player. And now he's back in

1659
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: the mix, going wherever you think he might go with

1660
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: his talent level. That's so he was, and you know

1661
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: he heard it. We talked about it. He was dropping

1662
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 1: like a rock. He was gonna go for the top ten.

1663
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: He might be in the second round. He might not

1664
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: even been drafted. Intrigue. It's unbelievable. Now today he's like, no,

1665
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: he's fine. Well one right may have been missed. That knows.

1666
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: All right, what do you want the Who do you

1667
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: want the Bills to take in the first round? Let's

1668
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,600
Speaker 1: work in a few phone calls here. Let's go to

1669
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: uh Pat in Buffalo. Hello, Pat, who do you want

1670
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: the Bills to take in the first round? Well, I'll

1671
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: tell you what. I totally agree with Steve. I think

1672
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 1: now is the time to bring that Hockinson, and I

1673
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: think he should. You say that player? Did Steve say that? No?

1674
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: I had time to bring that Hockinson. No, I didn't

1675
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 1: go ahead? What do you think? Go ahead? Pat, Steve,

1676
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm just staying. And John, by the way, I love

1677
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: your shirt. I was just saying, I think this is

1678
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: the time, like for the Bills to really provide Josh

1679
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: Allen with that outlet. He's never going to be a

1680
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: Joe Montana. He's not going to be that accurate. But

1681
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 1: I think that now is the time to really make

1682
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: that push. Yeah, you think, and why a tight end?

1683
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: Why not a wide out or why not you know

1684
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: something else? Why do you think Hockinson is going to be?

1685
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Would you? Because listen, there are guys who are probably

1686
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 1: better route runner, pass catchers, faster guys at tied end

1687
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: white Hockinson. Sure. I just think that big body and

1688
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: having you know him, work with that kid from Cincinnati,

1689
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 1: I think it's just gonna be a good fit. I

1690
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: get you that accuracy, you know, all right, And I'll

1691
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 1: tell you what, you don't have to justify that pick.

1692
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Hawkins and everybody's calling him Hawks,

1693
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: So I'm going to too. Hawk seems to be a

1694
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 1: guy who's a complete tight end, is going to be

1695
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: penciled in as your number one guy from the moment

1696
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 1: the commissioner reads his name, you don't have to justify

1697
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:22,640
Speaker 1: that pick. You're right. Hawkinson is a guy that is

1698
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: an absolute perfect fit for everything that the Bills can

1699
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: foresee about their future. They need more weapons for Josh Allen.

1700
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: They've done a ton to put the to fix the

1701
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: offensive line ahead of him. Some of those guys are

1702
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 1: veteran guys who haven't had that much success in the NFL,

1703
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: but some of them are really successful. There's every reason

1704
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: to believe this offensive line has taken a leap forward

1705
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: from where it was last year. But it needed to.

1706
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: So if you think that's all done and you're ready

1707
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: to put a guy on the end of the line

1708
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: there that can also help in the run game and

1709
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: catch passes, that's an easy pick to justify, no question

1710
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,560
Speaker 1: about it. Thanks for your call. Let's read from the

1711
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from he says, I think the Bills will

1712
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: select dk Metcalf Redkins. I'm predicting Redskins get excited and

1713
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: send some picks over to us for our number nine.

1714
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: We draft Metcalf at fifteen and hint other areas of

1715
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: need later in the draft. With the picks Washington packed

1716
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: up to us, and could be the Redskins. You're right,

1717
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: they might get excited about a quarterback, right Jones from

1718
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: Duke or maybe Haskins available, could be the Giants. Giants

1719
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: could get excited about one of those quarterbacks. And look,

1720
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: I get it, Metcalf is probably not good value at

1721
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: nine overall. But mid first fifteen, that's a different story. Yeah,

1722
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,600
Speaker 1: the Redskins are at fifteen. The Giants second pick of

1723
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: the first round is at seventeen. If you talk to

1724
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: some you know pick the logic would be, if the

1725
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna take a quarterback, they're not gonna wait

1726
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: till the mid teens are the first round to do it.

1727
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna take him right away, so they get the

1728
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: guy they want at least, and they'll get what they

1729
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: can get with their second pick in the first round.

1730
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 1: So I don't know that the Giants, well, I don't know.

1731
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 1: Everybody said, you know, I've said many times Oakland Raiders

1732
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: are a prime candidate to trade back or trade up.

1733
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: They've got a ton of draft capital in the first round.

1734
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,640
Speaker 1: They've got the four pick, the twenty fourth pick, in

1735
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh pick, and the thirty fifth pick. That's

1736
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: a ton of picks high in this draft. They could

1737
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: bundle them all together and get a whole bunch more

1738
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 1: picks between the second and fourth round, which is where

1739
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: this draft is deep, and really build their roster with

1740
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: a lot of young, cheap talent. Or they might pick

1741
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 1: some guys they think can make differences. But all those

1742
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: things put together, you know, you point towards the Giants,

1743
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 1: you point towards the Raiders, you point to all these

1744
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: teams that may want to move up or down, But

1745
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: it all comes down to that one thing you said, Murph,

1746
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: it's the quarterbacks. It's how they they think about these quarterbacks.

1747
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins, Kyler Murray, Drew Locke, all those guys that

1748
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: got about the Duke and the Duke Jones might Daniel Jones,

1749
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:49,560
Speaker 1: all these guys, they're all gonna go higher than you

1750
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: think they might. Um. You know this mock draft I'm

1751
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: looking at it looks has got Daniel Jones going to

1752
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: thirty two to the Patriots. It's that. That's the That's

1753
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 1: this website called Tankathon. Why the reason I like it,

1754
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: please tell us, is because they lay this thing out.

1755
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: You can get power rank because I know how many

1756
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 1: who's picking what and what we're in the draft, the

1757
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: power rankings, what those draft picks are worth on the

1758
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: value chart, how many picks they've got, what order they're

1759
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 1: picking on, all the way through the first it's it's

1760
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:20,560
Speaker 1: a I like the way it's laid out. You know

1761
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna do and basically my whole thing next year

1762
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: during the draft setup next year, if we're around, you know,

1763
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: I think we should do well to get somebody who

1764
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: can direct us to the best mock draft because there's

1765
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: a million of them. And I hear people on the

1766
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: radio and read people who have never heard of don't

1767
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 1: know what their credentials are. I'm sure they're interested to

1768
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: work hard at it. Look, Joe A Scotia we had

1769
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: on the show yesterday does not have a national profile,

1770
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: but I gotta believe he's as well educated on the

1771
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: draft as anybody in the country. And I love having

1772
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: him out because he's got the buffalo thought. You know

1773
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: what this means to the Bills. We had a great

1774
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 1: segment with Joe yesterday, But you know what I mean,

1775
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: we got to get somebody to say these are the

1776
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 1: three or four mock drafts that maybe mean something, and

1777
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 1: if they mean anything. They don't because none of those

1778
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: guys make a decision that sticks, you know. I mean

1779
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: that's but it's true everybody, and you and I may

1780
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: be the only two media people that have not done

1781
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: a MAC. All we did was get our top four. Yeah,

1782
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: I was at we can get to that later. We

1783
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 1: only have let's see, it's one four. We only have

1784
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: four four hours and twenty minutes left in today's programming,

1785
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be on at eight from eight till

1786
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: eleven tonight. So if you were with us Monday, you

1787
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: saw Steve and I kind of get to our gang

1788
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,560
Speaker 1: of eight. I picked four, Steve fick four. We couldn't duplicate,

1789
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: and we have a strong feeling that among that eight

1790
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: is the bill's first selection. Today. The gang of eight

1791
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: Steve hid, Jonah Williams, Andre Dillard, a couple offensive lineman,

1792
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 1: the tit end Hockinson and defensive end Rashaan Gary. I

1793
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 1: had Metcalfe at Oliver Montes sweat Kristen Wilkins after constant

1794
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 1: Badgerine all week. Steve has insisted that we went to

1795
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: went down to four. You want to do it later,

1796
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: you want to do it, Let's do it now. Let's

1797
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: do it now. Now the final four. We're going from

1798
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,640
Speaker 1: the Gang of eight. Year, I can't find it. I

1799
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: had it and I lost it on the whiteboard, and

1800
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 1: the other I know, Oh here it is here, it

1801
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: is here, the final four. So look, and let me

1802
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: just say at the outset, Steve, accuse me of being

1803
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 1: a coward on this cowardness or not, we have a

1804
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: better chance of being right with a Gang of eight

1805
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: than we might be four. I don't fear failure. I'm

1806
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: not afraid of anything on this stuff. I'm just saying

1807
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: the chances of us being right on the final four.

1808
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 1: And did I have any input in this? I guess

1809
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, some of these are yours. These are

1810
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: the ones we really we overlapped where we had to

1811
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 1: pick somebody else the final four. Steve believes that, right,

1812
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 1: And I make sure I'm saying he's right. You believe

1813
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 1: that the Bills pick today tonight will come from this

1814
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: group of four? Right? That is correct? All right? Go ahead?

1815
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: That all right? Here we can the final four. The

1816
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: final four is I think it's Jonah Williams offensive tackle. Okay,

1817
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: I can get I can. Let me just say I

1818
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: can get it. I can go with that. I've told

1819
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 1: you for weeks. I thought, um, the Bills are likely

1820
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: to pick the best available big man might be Jonah

1821
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 1: Williams at that point, best available big man. Ed Oliver

1822
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 1: love him. I really that would be a bonus if

1823
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: he is available to the Bills and now they were

1824
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: able to get him at nine, I think that'd be great,

1825
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: or maybe even moving up a little bit, provided they

1826
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,560
Speaker 1: don't give up any of next year's draft capital. I

1827
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: would make a move up to get this. And this

1828
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: is all if everything stands pad, if they trade up,

1829
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: forget it. This is either this isn't gonna work, but

1830
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 1: if they stay right, this is for the number nine pick. Okay,

1831
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: all right, Jonah Williams, Okay, ed Oliver. And the third

1832
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: one is Christian Wilkins, the defensive tackle out of Clemson.

1833
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: He is rated UM in some places, and this one

1834
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at as a twelfth guy, so you don't

1835
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: need him in there at nine. But okay, but I

1836
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: think that's not a reach though he's I think he's

1837
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,560
Speaker 1: in thee I think he's in the upper echelon of

1838
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: this draft, which drops off precipitously after you get down

1839
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 1: to thirteen. Fourteen fifty anyway, okay, Christian Wilkins. And then

1840
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: the third, the fourth guy, we've got his obviously t J. Hawkinson,

1841
01:23:58,320 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: that's the guy. Those are the guys. It's an offense,

1842
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: it's an offensive tackle, two defensive tackles and a tight end.

1843
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 1: In the top four we've got. So then, yeah, the

1844
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,720
Speaker 1: pick has made tonight. And what do we refer to

1845
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: the Gang of Eight or the Final four? Uh? Well,

1846
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 1: we can depends on which one makes us right. I'm

1847
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: not happy if I don't have to fail. I don't

1848
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: want to fail, you know. But I think we're it's

1849
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: he's in there somewhere in the four or in the eighth.

1850
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,639
Speaker 1: I think he's in the four, but I know he's

1851
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 1: in the eighth. Okay, I'm pretty sure he's in the eighth. Yeah,

1852
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's in the four. Here's and I

1853
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: think there's here's the problem. You get down there and

1854
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: some of these big boards where they rank these guys,

1855
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,520
Speaker 1: you get down to number nine and some of these Hackinson,

1856
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams, Christian Wilkins or right there, they're all there.

1857
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 1: They're all available. Rashaun Garry's there, Andre Dillard is there.

1858
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: The offensive tackle out of washing. It's every everybody is

1859
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: going to be available, because you gotta think it's Nick Boza, Kyler,

1860
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: Murray Quinnin Williams. Okay, there's three guys. You know, they're

1861
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,759
Speaker 1: gonna be gone. Josh Allen, the edge rushing from Kuckeye,

1862
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna be gone. And again you're leaning on Tankathon here.

1863
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 1: This is yeah, but these are all the names we've

1864
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 1: heard from everybody else. This is just because I have

1865
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: it in front of me. Josh Allen is the fourth guy, right,

1866
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: and Devin White the LSU linebacker. They're supposed to be

1867
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 1: the greatest things and sliced bread as middle linebackers. Ago,

1868
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: that's five guys off the board that the Bills and

1869
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: are you know the people we talk to and you

1870
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: and me both, we ain't even gonna get a shot

1871
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: at those guys unless we trade way out. It's fine.

1872
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: We've gonna get a shot, all right. Then at number

1873
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,679
Speaker 1: six it goes ed Oliver Juwan Taylor, and then Dwayne

1874
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,560
Speaker 1: Haskins the quarterback. And now we're nine. Do you have

1875
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: some sort of investment financially and Tankathan No, No, it's

1876
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 1: just it's just like I said, they lay it out

1877
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: for me in my feeble mind. It's user friendly. That's

1878
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 1: the only reason I use it. I don't know if

1879
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: they're they may this may be total garbage for all

1880
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: I know. They may, they really might. But all I'm

1881
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: saying is I like the way they lay it out,

1882
01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm I'm using it. All. Right, break

Speaker 1: here we back. It's One Bill's Live from One Bills Driving.

1887
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 1: goose bumps, but it doesn't stop us from speculating, doesn't.

1918
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hi guys, Hi, quick question before

1919
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 1: I give you who I wanted yesterday when you hit

1920
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 1: Joe Bion, you guys broke when someone had asked a

1921
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: question about who three wide receivers Hockeyen, Butler, Perry and

1922
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: somebody else who he thought they might take in the

1923
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: second round. Did you guys discuss that in the commercial

1924
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 1: or we did not go away? Yeah? You know, I

1925
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 1: know Joe likes a lot is the Stanford wide receiver

1926
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: jj R. Say he's got a third name I know

1927
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: from white R Sega. Yeah right, Yeah, from talking to

1928
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,759
Speaker 1: him weeks ago. I know he's a favorite of Joe's.

1929
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: I think that might have been his third. But no,

1930
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: we didn't follow up on that. I apologize. Yes, jj

1931
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 1: R Sega white Side, Yes from Stanford six two two

1932
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: twenty five. Bodies up. He's a hoops kind of player. Uh,

1933
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 1: he is a bigger body. Um, I don't know how

1934
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 1: physical he is. I question I question that. Um, he's

1935
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: a kind of a lean, skinny guy six two two

1936
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: twenty five. But he looks to me he comes off

1937
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 1: as being, you know, not not really a physical type

1938
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: receiver for a guy that size. But he is a

1939
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: he catches the ball well, and he's in a lot

1940
01:28:56,520 --> 01:29:00,600
Speaker 1: of people very like him, a lot uh on a

1941
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 1: couple of places. Yeah, he's definitely one of the top

1942
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver prospects uh. And because of his size, he

1943
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 1: moves up on that list a little bit higher than

1944
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 1: some of the other guys that would help you out.

1945
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: At all time I saw him, I was a big

1946
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: fan of Butler. I just wondered what Joe beetz out

1947
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: of him. But anyways, as far as the first pick goes, um,

1948
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: I'm happy that the news came out, but I'm also

1949
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: sad because to me, it's a no sweat pick. Just

1950
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: pick sweat um. Thinking at nine tom, yep, who would

1951
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: you rather have? All Right, say, say you're talking about

1952
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 1: defensive front guys, is how many guys are there ahead

1953
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: of Montez Sweat that you would take? Say, for instance,

1954
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 1: would you take Quinnin Williams? I would take Williams, I

1955
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:48,560
Speaker 1: would take Bosa h. I'd probably take Josh Allen. What

1956
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:53,639
Speaker 1: about Ed Oliver? I don't know. I'm worried about his size, right, Okay,

1957
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: I like sweat butter, so you're taking say Josh Allen,

1958
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 1: Nick Boza Quinnin Williams. Uh, and that'd be about it.

1959
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 1: Then you're going to then you're going to you're gonna

1960
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: take Montes sweat. Yeah, Okay, I think it's all he's healthy,

1961
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: and I hope they're right that. Uh, you know, he

1962
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 1: could be a superstar. I think he had a ton

1963
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:15,600
Speaker 1: of sacks. I think he can play end. He's not

1964
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 1: a he's not a linebacker. He plays he puts his

1965
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 1: hand down in the ground, and I think he could

1966
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: be the right guy. All that fire. Now, I hope

1967
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 1: something with you know, people get more into he's not unhealthy,

1968
01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: that he doesn't move up and be gone by then

1969
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 1: if that and then and then again like everybody else,

1970
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 1: hope they moved down and pick up another pick and

1971
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 1: take Wilkins. Maybe. I think there's gonna be somebody better

1972
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:46,719
Speaker 1: than Montes at number nine. He's good, but there's gonna

1973
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: be a ton of good guy There's a ton of

1974
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 1: good guys at the top of this draft, and I

1975
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: think Montez, there's gonna be somebody I like better at

1976
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 1: the top of this draft. And I don't know that

1977
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: the Bills feel this way, but I do like Ed

1978
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 1: Oliver more than I like Montez. Just yeah, different players. Yeah,

1979
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 1: they're different players, no question. Oliver an inside guy, sweat

1980
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 1: as an outside guy. As Tom said, you know, he's

1981
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: a classic pass rushing defensive end tight Tom. Thank you.

2015
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: rather go to a good team at thirty second than

2016
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:49,840

Speaker 1: fifty Who do you want who do you want the

2038
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 1: Bills to pick this? Bruce Arians comments, Steve I made

2039
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:54,680
Speaker 1: a mental note this morning about this. I want to

2040
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. Bruce Arians. You draft for need,

2041
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,560
Speaker 1: he says. You draft for need, you get draft the

2042
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 1: best player and if you've got two of them, now

2043
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 1: you've got three of them, just take the best players

2044
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,640
Speaker 1: available for you. If you've got four players right there

2045
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 1: together and one of them is a need, that's the

2046
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: home run. That's the home run. You draft for need,

2047
01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: you get fired. Bruce Arians says, sounds great, sounds great logical.

2048
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 1: Who would not say, yeah, you're right, coach Arians, Yeah,

2049
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 1: we'll go by teams draft for need they do, We'll

2050
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: go back and look at their draft after, you know,

2051
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 1: when Tampa Bay finishes their draft this year and the

2052
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: first year and this is first year there, we'll see

2053
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: if he doesn't draft for need, right, he's going to

2054
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:35,040
Speaker 1: You got draft for need. Listen, even if you draft

2055
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 1: the best player available, you're gonna get fired at some point.

2056
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 1: That's why do coaches hide from that. I think I

2057
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 1: think it has something to do. I believe this with

2058
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:46,639
Speaker 1: the random and nature of the draft and the luck

2059
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 1: involved in the draft and coaches want to say, well,

2060
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 1: we got the guy. After the fact, they want to

2061
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:54,800
Speaker 1: say we drafted the guy we believed at that time

2062
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: was the best player available. We weren't drafting for need.

2063
01:34:57,280 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of covering their their butts a

2064
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: little bit. Ye, you were drafting for need. And I

2065
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 1: don't think think there's anything wrong with it. It's rhetoric.

2066
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's an acknowledgement that we hope this

2067
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:09,559
Speaker 1: works out. We've done a lot of homework, but nothing

2068
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 1: is guaranteed in the draft, and maybe that doesn't work out. Yeah.

2069
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why arians would say that you draft

2070
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 1: for need, you get fired. Because it's a good sound bite.

2071
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,400
Speaker 1: He was in the media for a little bit. Yeah,

2072
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 1: it's got us quoting him. All right, what do you want?

2073
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:23,600

Speaker 1: you guys are doing good too. Yes we are. Today.

2081
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: It's exciting time what we wait for all off season

2082
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 1: for seek for bills. It's been a lot, it's been

2083
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:51,680
Speaker 1: very warning most years. But we're building something. But I'm

2084
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,800
Speaker 1: gonna find here, guys, because I have a philosophy and

2085
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in it. And the first fifteen

2086
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:01,519
Speaker 1: picks in the first round, I only draft quarterbacks, the

2087
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 1: guys that make the life difficult for quarterbacks, that being

2088
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:08,440
Speaker 1: rushers quarterbacks, and then the guys that protect the quarterbacks

2089
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 1: tackles uh Sam in the bye because I really love

2090
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 1: this kid, Hopkinson. This kid is really impressive. Um But

2091
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 1: then when when, when I think about it, draft history

2092
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 1: show you you don't take tight ends and at that

2093
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:25,800
Speaker 1: early you know, I think a few years back, um

2094
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 1: we Oj Howard was a great pass to coming out

2095
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: and I think he won eighteenth or nineteenth to Tampa.

2096
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:36,360
Speaker 1: Um so Ali went Hardward Hockinson. Guys, I think reality

2097
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:41,759
Speaker 1: is it's either gonna be you know, hopefully Oliver Oliver remaining.

2098
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: He reminds me of of of um of Donald whom

2099
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,599
Speaker 1: I love. Obviously he's a great player. I think it's

2100
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:50,400
Speaker 1: a little bit too high. But you know, he reminds

2101
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 1: me of Oliver, I mean of Donald uh that the

2102
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 1: kid Wilkinson who I see is is looking very popular

2103
01:36:56,600 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 1: at all. Are mock drafts um? And you know want

2104
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 1: the tackles either Williams fort Taylor. Um. But man, I

2105
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:07,519
Speaker 1: really like Hockinson. I think I think he's a good player.

2106
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 1: I really do. But history shows you can't do it.

2107
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:15,560
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm excited, guys, I'm looking forward to it.

2108
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:17,640
Speaker 1: And thanks for having me on. Thanks you, Drick and

2109
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,439
Speaker 1: a couple of just one thing if me on the

2110
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: tight ends. Yeah, And he's right. OJ Howard was probably

2111
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: more heavily hyped than Hockinson has been this year. OJ

2112
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 1: Howard was the nineteenth overall pick. Freakish athlete nineteenth by

2113
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay first rounder. Yes, but nineteenth. That's even with

2114
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: all the hype about OJ Howard, they didn't. He wasn't

2115
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 1: a top ten pick. I don't know, is this guy

2116
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:39,280
Speaker 1: better than OJ Howard? Does he a the potential to

2117
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 1: be more of a contributor than OJ Howard? Hockinson? And

2118
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right here. You like many people and it's

2119
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 1: not just old fashioned thinking. Many people just think that

2120
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: tight end does not have that much to contribute, that

2121
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 1: he would be a top ten pick. I get that.

2122
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm kind of in line with that. Go ahead, Steve,

2123
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 1: It's right. And I think when you're talking about, you know,

2124
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 1: these edge rushers that we're talking about, like Ed Oliver

2125
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: and Wilkins, t J. Hockinson seems like the biggest role

2126
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 1: of the dice because the tight ends position is so

2127
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 1: difficult to play. Certainly, if I think it's he got

2128
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:17,719
Speaker 1: to do both things. You gotta be a wide receiver

2129
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: and you gotta be a big, nasty tackle, those guys

2130
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 1: don't fall off trees. Those guys don't come along. Guys

2131
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 1: who were good at both of those things are generational players.

2132
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 1: Those guys are like Gronkowski. Those are the guys that

2133
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: teams are. It's like the ultimate weapon. They just don't exist.

2134
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,759
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey isn't a great tight end because he blocks.

2135
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 1: You know, Tony Gonzalez wasn't a great tight end because

2136
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:44,680
Speaker 1: he blocks. You know, Jimmy Graham, and he's not a

2137
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:46,880
Speaker 1: great tight end because he blocks. None of these guys

2138
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 1: are great tight ends because they block. They're great tight

2139
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 1: end because they've got a great quarterback thrown to him,

2140
01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:52,639
Speaker 1: and they catch a lot of balls. That's all people

2141
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: care about. This big weapon going down the middle. A

2142
01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 1: guy that's impossible thing. And then you're lucky. The team's

2143
01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: lucky if they can leave him on the field on

2144
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:03,679
Speaker 1: first down, you know, and second and five or second

2145
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: and two, they'll leave him on the field so that

2146
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 1: they can work in the run game. They're lucky if

2147
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: they've got a guy they can put in there. Otherwise,

2148
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 1: the guy comes off the field and you put your

2149
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 1: other guy, you know, your other tight end in and

2150
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 1: some of these a lot of these teams do that,

2151
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 1: these tight ends unless they're well, even if they are,

2152
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: like you just said this, the Howard kid from Alabama

2153
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. He's a freakish athlete. He's

2154
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: nineteenth pick overall, you know, because he just doesn't there's

2155
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 1: some holes in his game. Now, Hockinson, I've heard people say, yeah,

2156
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 1: dominant blocker, he's I don't want a blocking tight end.

2157
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: I really don't. But if he can play wide receiver,

2158
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 1: if he can you know, get down the field like

2159
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:48,680
Speaker 1: Gronkowski can, if he can catch the tough pass, you know,

2160
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone. If he can

2161
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 1: body up guys and be a great red zone target

2162
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 1: and oh, okay, I'll talk to you about it, then

2163
01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:56,600
Speaker 1: that's that's okay. But the first thing he's got to

2164
01:39:56,600 --> 01:40:00,679
Speaker 1: be as a receiver. For me, it's a throwing league, Murph.

2165
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,400
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey had a great year last year, one hundred

2166
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 1: and three catches, ten of them for touchdowns. Great year.

2167
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 1: He was a third round pick. Was he great last

2168
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: year because he's the great Travis Kelsey? He's a really

2169
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 1: really good player. No, it was Pat Mahlomes. Yeah, so

2170
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 1: it did look at Hockinson and say, we're gonna get

2171
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,280
Speaker 1: a really good tight end. I get that he'll be

2172
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:23,720
Speaker 1: a really good tight end in this league. I have

2173
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:25,880
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. We'll leave you a difference maker.

2174
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:27,639
Speaker 1: That's the question I would ask. This is a great

2175
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,799
Speaker 1: debate for this draft, for for our team, for the Bills,

2176
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:35,480
Speaker 1: because Hockinson is this carrot and this he's this huge possibility.

2177
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 1: But I've said this from the very beginning. I can't

2178
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:40,120
Speaker 1: believe I forgot about this. This is my my main

2179
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 1: premise and one of the things my core beliefs. So

2180
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna open up I'm gonna open up

2181
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 1: to you, Murf, You're ready. Okay, Whatever tight end they get,

2182
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be only as good as Josh Alan the quarterback.

2183
01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. I don't care if

2184
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: it's Hockinson, I don't care if it's I don't care

2185
01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 1: if it's it's no Offense, I don't care if it's Sternberger.

2186
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Any of these guys. They're only gonna be as good

2187
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 1: as Josh is. Same thing with DK Metcalf, same thing

2188
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 1: with Cole Beasley and John Brown, all of these. Certainly

2189
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be good enough for other quarters. They've we've

2190
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 1: seen him beat these these free agents where I'm talking

2191
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:16,800
Speaker 1: about the receivers and stuff. We've seen them be good

2192
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:19,280
Speaker 1: enough for other quarterbacks to make them successful. They're only

2193
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna be as good as Josh's ability to get them

2194
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:23,920
Speaker 1: the football. Certainly, you want quality guys there stuff, but

2195
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: all the guys we had last year were unproven, but

2196
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:30,360
Speaker 1: certainly they flashed. Foster flashed for the Bills last year.

2197
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:33,200
Speaker 1: You've got guys that you know showed up. But these

2198
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 1: guys that you draft and the free agents are only

2199
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:37,080
Speaker 1: going to be as good as Josh is certainly want

2200
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:38,720
Speaker 1: to help him in every way you can, But you

2201
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 1: do that to me by making the offensive line dominant.

2202
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 1: So you've got a solid run game. Even if you

2203
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:47,679
Speaker 1: do have two thirty mid thirty year old quarterbacks running

2204
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,599
Speaker 1: backs taking the ball. You gotta have a good running game,

2205
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,040
Speaker 1: and that's gonna make Josh better than anything. The offensive

2206
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 1: line being dominant and being able to run the football

2207
01:41:56,520 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 1: whenever you want, no matter what. Having that the table

2208
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:03,360
Speaker 1: all the time in any given situation is going to

2209
01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 1: be huge and a huge and a much bigger help

2210
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:09,640
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen than you know, a tight end that

2211
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 1: can run fast and get open, because Josh gotta get

2212
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:13,960
Speaker 1: him the ball. That's what it's all gonna come down to.

2213
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 1: So I'd much rather go in front of Josh and

2214
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 1: make sure you got They've made some great strides in

2215
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 1: free agency. I love the guys they signed, but give

2216
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 1: them some more if if you if they're good already,

2217
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: make them dominant. That's my point. That's that's my thing.

2218
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 1: And because those guys that I'm we're talking about, they're

2219
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be available here. They are not rolls of the

2220
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:36,880
Speaker 1: dice like Hockinson would be. Is he gonna be you know,

2221
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: is he gonna be good enough in the passing game?

2222
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be good enough? You don't know. Yeah,

2223
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 1: I am not Hockinson, and I'm not advocating picking him

2224
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,839
Speaker 1: with the ninth overall pick, but I've heard people describe

2225
01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 1: him as kind of a sure thing. Though. Yeah, he'll

2226
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 1: be a good player. I don't know if he's a

2227
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 1: roll of the dice, That's all I'm saying. I think

2228
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 1: I would disagree with that. How good is he gonna

2229
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 1: be with Josh's quarterback as opposed to with with Drew

2230
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 1: Brees quarterback? You know? You know what I'm saying. Yeah,

2231
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be pretty good. And I know this. And

2232
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 1: here's the thing we're talking about this team. In one

2233
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,439
Speaker 1: Bill's drive, Brian Dable knows how to use a tight end.

2234
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 1: He was with Gronk. He knows what it is to

2235
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:17,560
Speaker 1: have that guy, you know, he knows what it is

2236
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 1: to be in the room with a guy like that

2237
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,719
Speaker 1: and how to use him, what he's good for stuff.

2238
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 1: So if the Bills take him, it's because you know,

2239
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:26,960
Speaker 1: they like the kid. They've seen him, they love his skills,

2240
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: they love his skill set, size, his athleticism, his attitude,

2241
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 1: his character and all that YadA yadda. They also are

2242
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: looking at Brian Dable and he's going, yeah, that's the guy,

2243
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,760
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm okay if they take him. Believe me,

2244
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: I am. I am all about it. They know it

2245
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: better than I do, but I it. Those guys are

2246
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 1: impossible to find. That's why you know. Teams don't take

2247
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:52,679
Speaker 1: him high because they're hard, and you're saying they're hard.

2248
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 1: They're hard to probably hard to evaluate too at the

2249
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 1: next level, I don't know, and so much of what

2250
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 1: they do is just like a wide receiver. You know,

2251
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones isn't gonna play well with Blake Bortles as

2252
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 1: his quarterback, right. Who do you want the Bills to

2253
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 1: take in the first round? On the tweet sheet, Tiffany

2254
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 1: Daniel sends this and Christian Wilkins checks all the boxes

2255
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 1: for me and the type of player the Bills are

2256
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 1: all about. Highly productive college player, great teammate and leader.

2257
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 1: He went back for a senior year to make Clemson

2258
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 1: a better place, get closer to his teammates, and win

2259
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 1: a championship. Where's forty two to honor his grandpa A

2260
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:26,639
Speaker 1: lot of good, a lot of good comments about Christian Wilkins,

2261
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 1: and I go back to Dan Shaka of Our Land's Guide,

2262
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 1: who said he would fit in with the kind of

2263
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:33,600
Speaker 1: the type of man that the Bills want. And I

2264
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 1: get that. I don't know that that's enough to merit

2265
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: the ninth overall pick. They may be able to get

2266
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 1: Wilkins a little bit later on in the first round. Yeah.

2267
01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about, you know, where you go

2268
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:43,439
Speaker 1: to get your information, and all of us do that.

2269
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 1: We go to different places. And you were giving me

2270
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 1: trouble because I was on this thing. What I give

2271
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:48,760
Speaker 1: you trouble? Well, you know, Tankathon is the one, and

2272
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 1: I use it for the wrong reasons because it's easy

2273
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 1: for me because I'm an idiot on the computer and

2274
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 1: it lays out the way I like it, right, Okay,

2275
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 1: So I went and went to the draft network. All

2276
01:44:57,160 --> 01:45:01,800
Speaker 1: right there top one hundred. I mean, they've got Josh Allen,

2277
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 1: the edge rusher from Kentucky number nine, you know, and

2278
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 1: they've got Kyler Murray all the way down at twenty

2279
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: six on their power ranking. And you go to these

2280
01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: others and the one that I was on this uh,

2281
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 1: you know, the big board for them, They've got Kyler

2282
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:21,720
Speaker 1: Murray number two. So you go from twenty six to

2283
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 1: number two. That's you know, that's the disparity you've got

2284
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: in these wide ranging evaluations. You don't know where you know,

2285
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 1: who do you believe? I believe the ones that lay

2286
01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:36,640
Speaker 1: it out for me, the one and the ones, and

2287
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:39,280
Speaker 1: the ones that actually agree with what I hear from

2288
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: other people outside, you know. I mean it's not just

2289
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: you and me bouncing things off an empty room. We

2290
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 1: talk to people every day on this show, and we

2291
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:47,800
Speaker 1: bounced it off each other, and we hear it and

2292
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: we and we read things every day, all the crud

2293
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:53,720
Speaker 1: that we hear, and we sift through all of that too,

2294
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 1: So you you kind of sift through and get to

2295
01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:59,639
Speaker 1: where was I say, Okay, this guy's making some sense.

2296
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:03,240
Speaker 1: There's nothing you know, they don't have one of the

2297
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:07,840
Speaker 1: top guys in the draft in the mid twenties evaluation, Right,

2298
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:11,479
Speaker 1: that's what That's another thing too. If they don't have

2299
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:16,639
Speaker 1: some outlier stuck in inside their hot top twenty five picks,

2300
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 1: then you say, okay, they they're not getting the crazy

2301
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 1: on me, right, right? So all right, I'll call here

2302
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 1: from John Michael in Utah, go ahead, John Michael, We'll

2303
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,559
Speaker 1: come to the show. What do you want tonight? Hey,

2304
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,640
Speaker 1: guys love the show, and I would have to go

2305
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:32,760
Speaker 1: with if you fast us at nine at Oliver is

2306
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:35,600
Speaker 1: my first pick um. If I was the draft for

2307
01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:40,639
Speaker 1: need and get fired, I'd probably Goton Hawkinson. Yeah, okay, yeah,

2308
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 1: because I think we need a tight end. I mean,

2309
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 1: I just think that's a need for a m But

2310
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I was going back to

2311
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:48,680
Speaker 1: what you said. I said earlier in the show. I

2312
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 1: really do trust that we're just going to get the

2313
01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:54,639
Speaker 1: right guy or the best guy available at our spot.

2314
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: So I'm not you know it till like last year

2315
01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 1: or where I was up nights worrying about who you're

2316
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:03,479
Speaker 1: gonna get and all that stuff. It's it's more of

2317
01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 1: a trusting place right now. And yeah, who did you want?

2318
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 1: John Michael? Oh? Yeah, who was your guy last year?

2319
01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 1: John Michael, You can be honest, a little a little

2320
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 1: bear to say, but I really like Rosen because it

2321
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 1: would be there. Yeah, we were gonna pick so that

2322
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:21,160
Speaker 1: was kind of my guy. But I couldn't be happier

2323
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,920
Speaker 1: at all with Josh Allen. I mean, I'm super stoked

2324
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,800
Speaker 1: to cheer for this guy, and and I'm a happy

2325
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 1: Bills fanner. Here's my next question on here's the question

2326
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:32,680
Speaker 1: for today. I mean you said, um, Ed Oliver, and

2327
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:36,639
Speaker 1: I get it too. Now would you take Josh Allen,

2328
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:42,439
Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams or Nick Bosa before you take Ed Oliver? Oh? Yeah, okay, Yeah,

2329
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 1: So there's three guys you'd rather have than Ed Oliver.

2330
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:48,040
Speaker 1: So if any of those guys fall, that's the guy.

2331
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:49,960
Speaker 1: But you're going to take a defensive lineman or a

2332
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 1: defensive a pass rusher d lineman. Right, that's your that's

2333
01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 1: your go to position. Well, no, I just kind of

2334
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:57,840
Speaker 1: going with like the biggest guy available. I figured out

2335
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 1: Oliver has the best chance in dropping. I really like

2336
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:02,560
Speaker 1: the character, like you said earlier, his lights are on

2337
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So um, but yeah, I mean if

2338
01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 1: you know Nick bos is there, uh, and Williams or

2339
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:14,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? Yeah, of course. Right. I have a question

2340
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:16,960
Speaker 1: for you guys. The reason I called in um is, uh,

2341
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:19,600
Speaker 1: you guys are talking a little about moving around in

2342
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:23,080
Speaker 1: the draft, maybe trading up to get somebody, uh, you know,

2343
01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:25,680
Speaker 1: with signing t J Yelden. Um, you know, we got

2344
01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 1: a pretty crowded backfield and two guys on the wrong

2345
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:31,680
Speaker 1: side of thirty. Uh tj Yelden was more productive than

2346
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 1: than Shady was last year as a number two than

2347
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:38,840
Speaker 1: Shady was number one. I love Shady. I've got a

2348
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 1: Shady jersey. I mean, I'm not kidding when I say

2349
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 1: I love the guy. But I was just wondering, you know,

2350
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,280
Speaker 1: we could say six and a half million for if

2351
01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:48,960
Speaker 1: we if we trade him, what kind of draft capitol

2352
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:52,560
Speaker 1: if any? Do you think he would garner if we

2353
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:54,920
Speaker 1: were to offer, you know, try to trade up and

2354
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 1: probably not just him, but like you know, with another

2355
01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:59,240
Speaker 1: pick or Yeah. I don't think it. I don't think

2356
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 1: he's Yeah, I don't know, that's a good question. I

2357
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 1: don't think it would be that much. I don't think

2358
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 1: current players on the rosters get as much as you

2359
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 1: think they should. I mean, we're talking about getting Gerald

2360
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 1: McCoy from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a fifth and

2361
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 1: he's a great player and a great leader, and he's

2362
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 1: got two years left on a contract that's really affordable,

2363
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 1: or three years left on a contract that's really affordable.

2364
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,080
Speaker 1: So they're not going to be as worth as much

2365
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 1: as you think except for the fact that this it's

2366
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:31,760
Speaker 1: just like the draft. The most closely guarded information in

2367
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:38,439
Speaker 1: the NFL, from team to team is their evaluation of

2368
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: other players, not only the ones on their roster, but

2369
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 1: other players around the league. They don't want anybody to

2370
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 1: know how much they think of other players on other

2371
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:49,960
Speaker 1: rosters and also in this draft. So there could be

2372
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:52,640
Speaker 1: a team out there if you hit it just right

2373
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,960
Speaker 1: that thinks Lashawn McCoy would be perfect for our team.

2374
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 1: If we just get one year out of this guy,

2375
01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be a difference. We're gonna be a different team.

2376
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: So you know what I mean, John Michael. So if

2377
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 1: that happens, if there's a team like that out there,

2378
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 1: and you can find that out, then maybe you get

2379
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:10,599
Speaker 1: a third, you know, then maybe you get a second.

2380
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:13,400
Speaker 1: You know, you can you get an outlandish price for him,

2381
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:15,360
Speaker 1: but you've got to know who that is. That's why

2382
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 1: nobody lets this value stuff their evaluations if other players

2383
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: get out, because they know they can. If the right

2384
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: player comes available and they dangle it out there, you

2385
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 1: jump too high to get him. One thing, John Michael,

2386
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 1: and I want to let you answer this and talk

2387
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:29,599
Speaker 1: about this a little bit. You're You're not just trading

2388
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:33,840
Speaker 1: shady here. You're trading a pretty sizeable contract, which would

2389
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:37,439
Speaker 1: be maybe the biggest factor for any potential trade partner.

2390
01:50:37,520 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 1: But I would guess fourth round, fifth round maybe. What

2391
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 1: do you think, John Michael, Well, I don't know. I mean,

2392
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:44,680
Speaker 1: I look at it's it's kind of going to what

2393
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:46,680
Speaker 1: Steve says is the need of the team. You look

2394
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 1: at the Oakland Raiders at number four, and they you know,

2395
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch will not return this season, and they'd have

2396
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:57,599
Speaker 1: needs everywhere, like Steve said earlier, so they don't necessarily

2397
01:50:57,640 --> 01:50:59,680
Speaker 1: have to seek a running back. But they might be

2398
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, they might be second third round territory or

2399
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 1: Leshaun McCoy. And if we if we lumped in like

2400
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 1: Lashn McCoy, trade with you know, um Piston, later round,

2401
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:12,280
Speaker 1: like a second round, you know, maybe we could move

2402
01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:14,240
Speaker 1: up to the number four spotted if they are not

2403
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, married to any prospect. I think that's unrealistic,

2404
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:20,600
Speaker 1: but I hear what you're saying, John Michael, Thank you,

2405
01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:23,640
Speaker 1: all right, We're gonna talk more about the draft when

2406
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:26,200
Speaker 1: we returned. John Murphy, Steep Tasker. It's one Bill's Live

2407
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 1: from one Bill's Drive, and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

2408
01:51:55,120 --> 01:52:00,000
Speaker 1: With the ninth pick, the Buffalo Bills select. What's gonna happen?

2409
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 1: Happened tonight the Dragon NFL Draft starts at eight pm tonight,

2410
01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:06,680
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker, We're gonna be on the air,

Speaker 1: back on the air. We're gonna get off here at

2412
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:09,680

2413
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:11,639
Speaker 1: gonna be back on the air at eight pm tonight.

2414
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 1: I keep teasing Jay Harris, our producer, that we might

2415
01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:18,719
Speaker 1: be signed on at eight pm by Roger Goodell, Commissioner, saying,

2416
01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 1: with the first pick of the air of the twenty

2417
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 1: nineteen years draft NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select. I

2418
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:26,960
Speaker 1: mean that might be happening as we come on the

2419
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:29,360
Speaker 1: air tonight at eight pm. It's gonna be fun. The

2420
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills pick number nine overall. And we are right

2421
01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 1: in the midst of talking all about it. You can

2422
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 1: tell us it's the day has finally come. You can

2423
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,720
Speaker 1: call and tell us, So who do you think the

2424
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:45,280
Speaker 1: Bills should select? And we will find out. We can

2425
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:47,240
Speaker 1: go on. Let we're gonna take a call. Let's let's

2426
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and take a call Terry from Jerry from Tonawana.

2427
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:55,439
Speaker 1: Go ahead, No, Jerry from Tonahuana. You're on the air.

2428
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead. You with us this last segment, you hit

2429
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 1: it out of the car. About tight ends we need

2430
01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:05,759
Speaker 1: if we stay in the ninth pick, we need a tackle,

2431
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:09,280
Speaker 1: and because if the Jets and the third pick take

2432
01:53:09,439 --> 01:53:13,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, it's Katie by the door. So we need

2433
01:53:13,479 --> 01:53:16,360
Speaker 1: If I would say, we just need a tight tackle

2434
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:18,160
Speaker 1: in the ninth pick, but try to get up to

2435
01:53:18,240 --> 01:53:21,880
Speaker 1: that second pick, and let's give Fristol whatever they want,

2436
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:24,519
Speaker 1: and so we can get up there and take Josh Allen.

2437
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: I would take Josh Allen or I'd move up to

2438
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 1: get Josh Allen over a tackle if we could do it.

2439
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,320
Speaker 1: But if not, didn't, stay pat and take a tackle

2440
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 1: at the ninth pick. Yeah, here's the thing, and let

2441
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 1: me Jerry, what do you think about this? If the

2442
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:38,760
Speaker 1: Bills want to move up, say they want to move

2443
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 1: up into the top three and get a chance at

2444
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:43,200
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa or Josh Allen or one of those guys,

2445
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 1: what are you willing to give up to get there?

2446
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 1: Because it may take If the Bills have ten picks,

2447
01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:55,519
Speaker 1: it may take seven of them. We'll pull a Minnesota Vikings,

2448
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:58,880
Speaker 1: like what the Vikings did with herschel Walker. Let's give

2449
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 1: them to give them the house, give him the whole

2450
01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:05,160
Speaker 1: draft or eleven players, if we could get Josh Allen,

2451
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:09,640
Speaker 1: give them the house. But well, like, what do you mean,

2452
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 1: what's the house? Well, I mean ten picks Frisco, if

2453
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 1: it's Friscoll, What do they want? If they want all

2454
01:54:16,960 --> 01:54:18,920
Speaker 1: our picks, then we give them all our picks. If

2455
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 1: they want a second and third and a second third

2456
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:25,519
Speaker 1: next year. And Shady McCoy didn't do it, you're saying,

2457
01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:27,840
Speaker 1: no matter the cost, jump up to the top two

2458
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:30,120
Speaker 1: or three spots in the draft. The Jets aren't going

2459
01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:32,680
Speaker 1: to trade with the Bills because that would they won't

2460
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 1: do that within the division. So you're saying, jump up

2461
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 1: to Arizona or San Francisco and just pay whatever it

2462
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: takes to get Arizona isn't going to take Josh Allen. No,

2463
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: they're not, but the Jets might. The Jets really will if,

2464
01:54:48,520 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 1: like I said, if they do it, Katie by the door,

2465
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:54,160
Speaker 1: he's he's a game breaker. So you're set. You're telling

2466
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:58,720
Speaker 1: me with a straight face that you think the Buffalo

2467
01:54:58,880 --> 01:55:02,720
Speaker 1: Bills should trade. Let me just let me just tell

2468
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 1: you exactly what you're telling me, what you were telling me.

2469
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:08,880
Speaker 1: You're telling me that Buffalo Bills should trade the ninth,

2470
01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:14,240
Speaker 1: the fortieth, the seventy fifth, thirteenth, all ten draft picks

2471
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:17,560
Speaker 1: to move up to the number two slot right and

2472
01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:20,840
Speaker 1: be done right. But I don't think Frisco would want

2473
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:23,280
Speaker 1: all of them. They may take for second and third,

2474
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:27,880
Speaker 1: and maybe second and third next year and say Shady McCoy.

2475
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:32,280
Speaker 1: But whatever the Frisco wants, you know, play a little

2476
01:55:32,320 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: hardball with them, sure, but then give them your draft

2477
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 1: and play a little hardball. Whatever the price they're gonna

2478
01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 1: give you. You gotta play hardball and get him for

2479
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 1: as little as you can get him, players picks, whatever

2480
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:45,960
Speaker 1: it takes to get Josh. What do you know about

2481
01:55:46,040 --> 01:55:47,920
Speaker 1: Josh All that makes you think that's the guy you

2482
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 1: need to get. I watched him all last year. I

2483
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:54,720
Speaker 1: got okay, and I'm telling you I've watched all those games.

2484
01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 1: This guy is a game breaker and now needs a

2485
01:55:58,600 --> 01:56:01,680
Speaker 1: good pass drusher. This guy is just as fast as Edmonds,

2486
01:56:02,120 --> 01:56:04,440
Speaker 1: and he can play. He can play like a middle linebacker,

2487
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:07,120
Speaker 1: and he can he can pick up a running back

2488
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:10,000
Speaker 1: out of the and stay with them out of the backfield. Yeah,

2489
01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:12,360
Speaker 1: you can do it, all right. I'll tell you this.

2490
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 1: There's one this and I'm telling you that some people.

2491
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:17,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? You probably don't know him as well.

2492
01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:20,280
Speaker 1: There's other guy places that you'll find in these websites

2493
01:56:20,520 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 1: that have a guy named Brian Burns from Florida State

2494
01:56:23,640 --> 01:56:26,640
Speaker 1: ranked well ahead of Josh Allen of Kentucky. What do

2495
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 1: you think about that? You think they're crazy? Not only

2496
01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 1: is it crazy, but think back? How many times will

2497
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:35,600
Speaker 1: we take Florida State players and they've been a bust? Well? Yeah,

2498
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, but that every every player is different and

2499
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:39,960
Speaker 1: depending it doesn't even matter if they went to the

2500
01:56:40,040 --> 01:56:43,200
Speaker 1: same school. So I get it all right. Times let

2501
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:44,600
Speaker 1: me I want to know they an answer? How many

2502
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 1: times did they take Florida State players who were busts? Jerry?

2503
01:56:48,440 --> 01:56:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just every time they picked somebody

2504
01:56:50,920 --> 01:56:54,160
Speaker 1: I can't Nigel Brandham pretty good players still playing? I mean,

2505
01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that's accurate. Thank you, Jerry? Can I go, okay?

2506
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 1: Move along? You want to move along to prop bets? Okay, Yeah,

2507
01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:04,200
Speaker 1: we have fun with this. We can do it. We could,

2508
01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: we could if if we had money to burn and

2509
01:57:07,560 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 1: a little more sense, prop bets. As as usual, everything

2510
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL is subject to uh gambling, right, And

2511
01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 1: there's a list of prop bets that deal with tonight's

2512
01:57:17,120 --> 01:57:18,600
Speaker 1: first round. We thought we'd have a little fun with

2513
01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 1: you and kind of get our thoughts on it. Number one,

2514
01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:25,560
Speaker 1: the first overall pick hugs his mom first. Yes or no,

2515
01:57:26,360 --> 01:57:28,160
Speaker 1: that's a good one. He could hug a girlfriend, he

2516
01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:30,360
Speaker 1: could hug a coach, he could hug his father. But

2517
01:57:30,600 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess yes, he will hug his mom first.

2518
01:57:32,680 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 1: First overall pick Kyler Murray, Nick Bosa. I'm saying yes,

2519
01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: how about you. Um, I'm gonna say, no, who are

2520
01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:45,000
Speaker 1: you thinking? Girlfriend? Wife? I don't know. Well, it's because

2521
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:47,520
Speaker 1: he here's the thing, it's probably the first pick is

2522
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:54,920
Speaker 1: probably gonna be Kyler Murray. So if Kyler Murray's the guys,

2523
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna hug his mom, hug his dad, hug his

2524
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 1: you know. And if it's Nick Bosa who goes number one,

2525
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:06,280
Speaker 1: maybe he maybe he hugs Joey Can I say, I

2526
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:08,160
Speaker 1: think you're giving this too much thought? All right, I'm

2527
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna say yeah. I would probably say yes too. Prop

2528
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:13,200
Speaker 1: bet number two, Nick Bosa selected as a top two pick.

2529
01:58:13,520 --> 01:58:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm going, yes, yes, I think give me a Sumbers two. Yeah,

2530
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 1: but okay. Number the third prop bet Drew Locke, Missouri quarterback,

2531
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:27,840
Speaker 1: selected number ten or earlier. I say no, I hope no,

2532
01:58:28,080 --> 01:58:29,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of hope he would be.

2533
01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:31,880
Speaker 1: Don't you you want to? You want him to be

2534
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 1: selected ahead of the Bills. Yeah, they're nine, right if

2535
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 1: they If he is selected in top ten, I think

2536
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:40,440
Speaker 1: it'd be a massive reach on somebody's part. That's all right,

2537
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 1: keep going. Dwayne Haskins selected number ten or earlier, Ohio

2538
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:46,760
Speaker 1: se quarter I think he will. I think you're right. Yes, yeah,

2539
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:50,240
Speaker 1: here's one that clearly impacts the Bills. Prop bet and

2540
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Oliver selected at eight or earlier. I would hurt if

2541
01:58:54,320 --> 01:58:57,920
Speaker 1: he goes at eight, but he might because we'll be

2542
01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 1: getting excited tonight. If he's sitting out there at six seven,

2543
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 1: we'll start beads of sweat on the forehead. We might

2544
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 1: have him anyway, and we'll start getting excited. But if

2545
01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:09,920
Speaker 1: he goes eight or earlier, I'm gonna say, yes, what

2546
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:12,440
Speaker 1: do you think I'm gonna say, yes, he is too.

2547
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:14,000
Speaker 1: I think it's too much to hope for that, he

2548
01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:16,760
Speaker 1: slides down to Buffalo. I think it's too much to

2549
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 1: hope for, so I'm gonna say, yes, he will. Prop

2550
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 1: Bet how many quarterbacks will be selected in Round one

2551
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 1: over and under three and a half, over three and

2552
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:26,880
Speaker 1: a half or under three and a half quarterbacks selected

2553
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:28,800
Speaker 1: in Round one. I'm gonna say that. I think there's

2554
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 1: gonna be three. So I'm gonna say under. I would

2555
01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 1: say under two. I think you got the right number.

2556
01:59:33,120 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 1: And who do you think they are? It's gonna be Murray, Haskins, Haskins,

2557
01:59:38,680 --> 01:59:42,160
Speaker 1: and Locke. Okay, I think you're probably right. Prop Bet

2558
01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 1: how many offensive players overall will be selected in round one?

2559
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:49,160
Speaker 1: The over, under, over fifteen and a half, under fifteen

2560
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:51,440
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm saying under, yeah, I'll say under two.

2561
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:54,839
Speaker 1: I think players. I think it's yeah. Now, the quarterbacks

2562
01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 1: could make a difference in that. I mean, no, yeah,

2563
01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say under. I'm gonna say under.

2564
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Prop bet how many Alabama players to be selected in

2565
02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Round one over three and a half, under three and

2566
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 1: a half in round one? Yep, oh, okay, all right?

2567
02:00:09,960 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Hold hang on, hang on, I say you got Quinnin Williams. Okay,

2568
02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:20,680
Speaker 1: you've got uh Jonah Williams. Okay, that's two. I don't

2569
02:00:20,720 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 1: say under. I'm trying to think of else. Let me

2570
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:24,680
Speaker 1: think that's kind of gonna be doing it. I think

2571
02:00:24,720 --> 02:00:27,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna be it. I mean you might get uh

2572
02:00:27,520 --> 02:00:30,680
Speaker 1: may irv Smith the tight end. Maybe it's a second

2573
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: uh yeah, And there's a couple of tight ends before him,

2574
02:00:34,800 --> 02:00:38,200
Speaker 1: so Mac Wilson and you're getting to the inside linebackers

2575
02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:41,040
Speaker 1: the next guy. Maybe i'd say two under. I'm gonna

2576
02:00:41,040 --> 02:00:45,800
Speaker 1: say under. I'm Deontay Thompson the safety. Yeah, I'm gonna

2577
02:00:45,800 --> 02:00:48,160
Speaker 1: say under. I'm gonna say under. Prop bet it's a

2578
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:51,360
Speaker 1: good one. Will Josh Rosen be traded during round one?

2579
02:00:51,720 --> 02:00:54,840
Speaker 1: During round one? Now he's no, no, I'm thinking that,

2580
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:59,760
Speaker 1: wait weeks. He may listen, there's the you talk about

2581
02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:01,840
Speaker 1: a smoke screen. It could all have been a smoke

2582
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:04,920
Speaker 1: screen in Arizona. It could all have been a smoke screen.

2583
02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:08,160
Speaker 1: They they're gonna they're gonna keep him. He's their guy.

2584
02:01:08,680 --> 02:01:11,400
Speaker 1: They're putting that pick out there. If somebody wants to

2585
02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:12,880
Speaker 1: get him, they're gonna have to jump up to get

2586
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:15,880
Speaker 1: him and they may end up not only with um

2587
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:20,160
Speaker 1: with like twelve picks that they have, but they could

2588
02:01:20,280 --> 02:01:22,919
Speaker 1: they could end up with you know, fifteen or sixteen.

2589
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:26,640
Speaker 1: They got three, six, they've got ten picks. They could

2590
02:01:26,680 --> 02:01:28,800
Speaker 1: end up with twelve or thirteen picks in this draft

2591
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: and two more in the top fifty if they trade

2592
02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:36,280
Speaker 1: that pick right and it's maybe a pick next year.

2593
02:01:36,800 --> 02:01:39,160
Speaker 1: So they may they could slide out of that pick.

2594
02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:40,840
Speaker 1: But I don't think. I don't think it's gonna happen.

2595
02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:44,720
Speaker 1: But they could. They could, they could, but he won't

2596
02:01:44,720 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 1: be traded during the But Josh Rosen is not gonna

2597
02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:51,320
Speaker 1: be traded during the draft. Prop bet Quinnin williams Adamam,

2598
02:01:51,360 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 1: a big man defensive tackle, will be selected as a

2599
02:01:54,240 --> 02:01:58,200
Speaker 1: top three pick. True, yeah, true, Yeah, I agree, I agree.

2600
02:01:58,240 --> 02:02:00,480
Speaker 1: All right, here's an interesting prop bet, who's the first

2601
02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:03,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver off the board tonight or tomorrow night? Can

2602
02:02:03,640 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 1: I give you some names? DK Metcalf, h Hollywood Brown,

2603
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:13,320
Speaker 1: A J. Brown, Hawkim Butler and Kill Harry J J

2604
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:16,680
Speaker 1: j R. Saga Whiteside, Paris Campbell. Who's the first wide

2605
02:02:16,720 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 1: receiver from that group of seven? Here's the Yeah, who's

2606
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the first one who's the first one off the board.

2607
02:02:25,640 --> 02:02:28,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Marquis Brown. He's the small

2608
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:31,800
Speaker 1: little guy. He's a jitterbug, five nine and a half.

2609
02:02:31,920 --> 02:02:34,480
Speaker 1: He's a buck sixty five, a little small guy, but

2610
02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:36,720
Speaker 1: he's the maybe one of the fastest guys out there.

2611
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:39,360
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf's fast. But Marcus Brown is a guy who

2612
02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: catches the ball and runs with it after the catch.

2613
02:02:41,200 --> 02:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Caught a ton of really short passes. Um yeah, and

2614
02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:46,960
Speaker 1: he and he also goes he's that guy who goes deep.

2615
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:48,320
Speaker 1: You know. He's the guy at the other end of

2616
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:53,720
Speaker 1: all of you know, Kyler Murray's highlights. So it's Metcalf

2617
02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:56,240
Speaker 1: first one off the door. No, probably middle of the

2618
02:02:56,280 --> 02:03:00,440
Speaker 1: first round. Maybe maybe it might be his teammate A J. Brown. Ye,

2619
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:02,680
Speaker 1: all right, all right, I don't know. I'm gonna say.

2620
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no, it's not gonna be DK metcap

2621
02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 1: That's all I can say. Why is there so much

2622
02:03:09,440 --> 02:03:11,720
Speaker 1: He's got some holes in his game, and he's raw,

2623
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:13,760
Speaker 1: and he's young, and he doesn't and the body of

2624
02:03:13,840 --> 02:03:16,560
Speaker 1: work is not enough to give GMS a lot of confidence.

2625
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:19,960
Speaker 1: But that doesn't say that there aren't coaches in the room.

2626
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Going No, I got him. He's that's exactly the kind

2627
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 1: of guy I want. I want a young guy that

2628
02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:26,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been coached up. Let me coach him up. There's

2629
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:28,600
Speaker 1: all that going on too. You know who do you

2630
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:30,800
Speaker 1: want the first round? That's our question to the masses

2631
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 1: right now. Give us a call eight three fifty toll

2632
02:03:33,640 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 1: free one eight five fifty two five fifty Mark in Cheektowaga, Hello,

2633
02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Mark Ahead, you're on the air. Good afternoon. Guy's Oh

2634
02:03:42,320 --> 02:03:45,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I guess we're gonna completely disagree with that

2635
02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:48,040
Speaker 1: last caller, Jerry, I think his name is. I mean

2636
02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:51,240
Speaker 1: you know this this time here? Do you trade up?

2637
02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Do you stay where you are? Do you trade down?

2638
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:58,760
Speaker 1: And I do agree in a couple of specialized situations

2639
02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:02,000
Speaker 1: that makes sense to trade up getting your quarterback like

2640
02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:05,000
Speaker 1: the Bills did last year. Completely agree. Or if you

2641
02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:07,360
Speaker 1: think you're a super Bowl contender and you've got just

2642
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:09,920
Speaker 1: one kind of glaring need that you think will get

2643
02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:12,720
Speaker 1: you there, and a guy that's further up than where

2644
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:15,200
Speaker 1: you're drafting, you think that's the guy that can fill

2645
02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:18,080
Speaker 1: the spot. I get it there too, But the Bills

2646
02:04:18,120 --> 02:04:20,920
Speaker 1: are not in either of those situations. And I think

2647
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 1: in general, I think you're always better off trading down.

2648
02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:27,400
Speaker 1: You know, football, I mean, Steve knows this here. Football

2649
02:04:27,400 --> 02:04:31,160
Speaker 1: is such a team sport. You need so much depth,

2650
02:04:31,800 --> 02:04:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, injuries, all this specialized institution that goes on.

2651
02:04:37,040 --> 02:04:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you just need so many good guys to

2652
02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:41,880
Speaker 1: build a team that can win a Super Bowl. I

2653
02:04:42,400 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 1: I think you're better off having five. You know, I

2654
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:48,000
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how to, you know, I know they

2655
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:50,040
Speaker 1: assigned value to draft picks, so I don't know if

2656
02:04:50,080 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 1: you just trade down, trade down, trade down, how it

2657
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 1: ultimately would work out. But I think you're better off,

2658
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:59,800
Speaker 1: would say, five mid round third round picks than one

2659
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:05,200
Speaker 1: first round mid round pick. And well, here's the thing, Mark,

2660
02:05:05,240 --> 02:05:07,280
Speaker 1: and I don't disagree with you, but they're for me

2661
02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: and from what us and the conversations we've had with

2662
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 1: all the guys we've spoken to, there's only a maximum

2663
02:05:13,480 --> 02:05:16,800
Speaker 1: and I mean a maximum of six guys in this

2664
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:20,640
Speaker 1: draft that teams are really thinking about maybe trading up four.

2665
02:05:21,200 --> 02:05:23,240
Speaker 1: And the problem is the six teams that are in

2666
02:05:23,280 --> 02:05:26,440
Speaker 1: the front of this draft, I don't think any of

2667
02:05:26,520 --> 02:05:28,400
Speaker 1: them want to move out of that spot because they

2668
02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 1: need one of the guys that those those spots. I

2669
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:32,280
Speaker 1: don't think any of them are interested in moving down.

2670
02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:34,600
Speaker 1: I think they want the picks they've got. You've got

2671
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:37,720
Speaker 1: to have somebody who's willing to trade out and somebody

2672
02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:39,720
Speaker 1: who's willing to trade up. I don't think there's that

2673
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:43,120
Speaker 1: many people. And even if the Raiders with all their

2674
02:05:43,240 --> 02:05:47,000
Speaker 1: draft picks in the first round and thirty four in

2675
02:05:47,080 --> 02:05:49,960
Speaker 1: the first thirty five, even if the Raiders do want

2676
02:05:49,960 --> 02:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to trade out, I don't know that there's that many

2677
02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:54,400
Speaker 1: teams who want to trade into those top four at

2678
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 1: number four to get a guy. I don't think there's

2679
02:05:57,160 --> 02:06:03,800
Speaker 1: a guy, a franchise chaining player that would that would

2680
02:06:03,880 --> 02:06:06,600
Speaker 1: warrant one of these other teams in the league to

2681
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:08,480
Speaker 1: jump up into the top five to get there. So,

2682
02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:11,080
Speaker 1: even if it is a good idea to trade down

2683
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:13,120
Speaker 1: and get more draft picks, I get that, but I

2684
02:06:13,160 --> 02:06:14,880
Speaker 1: don't think you're going to find a partner to do it.

2685
02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I think that's the situation. A lot of these teams

2686
02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:19,840
Speaker 1: are finding themselves. I think that's the same thing with

2687
02:06:19,880 --> 02:06:22,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. They're sitting at number nine, top ten pick.

2688
02:06:22,680 --> 02:06:24,600
Speaker 1: It's great, you're gonna get a pretty good player. But

2689
02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's worth more than what it is

2690
02:06:28,040 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 1: like for these other teams to jump into that ninth pick,

2691
02:06:30,600 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 1: ninth spot. I don't think there's a lot of teams

2692
02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:35,120
Speaker 1: out there that are gonna give up extra picks in

2693
02:06:35,200 --> 02:06:38,000
Speaker 1: the second or third or fifth round or fourth round

2694
02:06:38,040 --> 02:06:40,560
Speaker 1: even that would find it worth it to do that.

2695
02:06:40,760 --> 02:06:43,080
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. You gotta have both sides of

2696
02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:46,160
Speaker 1: the equation. And I don't think that those guys, those

2697
02:06:46,200 --> 02:06:49,640
Speaker 1: teams are out there. And we've said it all throughout

2698
02:06:49,680 --> 02:06:52,360
Speaker 1: the show, Murphy, you can chime in again the top

2699
02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:55,840
Speaker 1: twelve teen guys or thirteen guys or what is where

2700
02:06:55,880 --> 02:06:58,440
Speaker 1: the plateau of this draft is. Once you get outside

2701
02:06:58,480 --> 02:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the thirteenth or the fourteen player this draft, it starts

2702
02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:04,680
Speaker 1: to be a precipitous drop off. And if you're going

2703
02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 1: to trade into it, I mean, how much is it

2704
02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:08,040
Speaker 1: worth to trade up to get into the like the

2705
02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:11,200
Speaker 1: tenth spot or the night spot the first two or

2706
02:07:11,280 --> 02:07:15,120
Speaker 1: three maybe those guys, But I don't know. You gotta

2707
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:16,720
Speaker 1: find a partner, and I don't think you're gonna find

2708
02:07:16,760 --> 02:07:18,839
Speaker 1: a partner to trade out. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe everybody's

2709
02:07:18,840 --> 02:07:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna trade out, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

2710
02:07:22,240 --> 02:07:24,120
Speaker 1: NFL True or false. Let's do a quick one here.

2711
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:27,080
Speaker 1: This came from Bruce Arians. He says, if you draft

2712
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:30,040
Speaker 1: for need, you will get fired. I'd say false. Everybody

2713
02:07:30,200 --> 02:07:32,160
Speaker 1: drafts for need a little bit, you will. That's not

2714
02:07:32,200 --> 02:07:34,360
Speaker 1: why you get fired. You get fired if you lose. False.

2715
02:07:34,400 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: If you draft for a need, you'll get fired. False. Yeah,

2716
02:07:36,480 --> 02:07:38,720
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily. I'm gonna say false as well, because

2717
02:07:40,120 --> 02:07:43,600
Speaker 1: you're right. Teams take the best player available at the

2718
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:46,880
Speaker 1: position they need, so they can say they're drafting for

2719
02:07:47,680 --> 02:07:50,800
Speaker 1: They can say they're drafting the best player available, but

2720
02:07:50,840 --> 02:07:53,320
Speaker 1: they're only drafting the best player available if he's at

2721
02:07:53,360 --> 02:07:56,920
Speaker 1: a position that they need. YEA, that comes first. Number

2722
02:07:56,920 --> 02:07:59,320
Speaker 1: two NFL true or false. Brought you by Yancey's fancy

2723
02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:02,600
Speaker 1: New York startist and cheese Russell Russell wilson new deal

2724
02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 1: with Seattle. Some people expect that means Seattle will now

2725
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:10,240
Speaker 1: become pass happy. Following Wilson's new deal, the Seahawks cannot

2726
02:08:10,320 --> 02:08:12,920
Speaker 1: scrap their run centric approach. I think they ran it

2727
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:14,960
Speaker 1: more than anybody last year, and I say that's true.

2728
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Don't change what you're doing. You're you're winning, you're winning.

2729
02:08:17,320 --> 02:08:19,760
Speaker 1: You can win more. But I think they have the

2730
02:08:19,840 --> 02:08:21,680
Speaker 1: right mix up there in Seattle. I like what they're doing,

2731
02:08:21,720 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 1: and I think that's true. I agree they don't need

2732
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:26,040
Speaker 1: to get away from that. Certainly, they were really good

2733
02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:31,960
Speaker 1: when they had Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson on his

2734
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,080
Speaker 1: rookie deal. Now that he's not on his rookie deal,

2735
02:08:35,160 --> 02:08:36,800
Speaker 1: I get it, they're paying him a lot of money.

2736
02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:38,720
Speaker 1: But the philosophy has got to be the same, and

2737
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:41,280
Speaker 1: I think it's easier once you've got the quarterback in place.

2738
02:08:41,720 --> 02:08:43,720
Speaker 1: If you do need a game where he needs to

2739
02:08:43,800 --> 02:08:46,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball fifty times, Okay, he can do that,

2740
02:08:46,680 --> 02:08:49,360
Speaker 1: but you're better and you're at your best for the

2741
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks when they run the ball thirty five times and

2742
02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:54,640
Speaker 1: throw at twenty. Yep, that's where they want to stay.

2743
02:08:54,800 --> 02:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Their defense has to be solid. Certainly, they're learning to

2744
02:08:57,360 --> 02:09:00,360
Speaker 1: win different ways than they were winning, and they had

2745
02:09:00,360 --> 02:09:02,880
Speaker 1: a legion of boom in their secondary and they are

2746
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 1: doing that. But I don't think the philosophy has changed.

2747
02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:10,440
Speaker 1: Finally in NFL true or false, True or false, Patriots

2748
02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:12,440
Speaker 1: are the most likely team to make a trade during

2749
02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:15,520
Speaker 1: the draft. I'm saying false. Look, the Raiders have four

2750
02:09:15,600 --> 02:09:17,600
Speaker 1: picks in the first thirty five, three in the first round.

2751
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:19,600
Speaker 1: The Giants have a couple of the first rounders. Those

2752
02:09:19,640 --> 02:09:21,360
Speaker 1: are the guys who are I think likely to make

2753
02:09:21,360 --> 02:09:23,680
Speaker 1: a trade. False. The Patriots are not the most likely

2754
02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:25,360
Speaker 1: team to make a trade. Yeah, I don't either. I

2755
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:27,480
Speaker 1: don't think they've got a lot of capital, no question.

2756
02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:30,920
Speaker 1: Twelve picks is a big number. But those picks are

2757
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:34,960
Speaker 1: not in prime spots. I mean they're you know, they're

2758
02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:38,160
Speaker 1: sitting there just like everybody else. They've got a long

2759
02:09:38,240 --> 02:09:40,240
Speaker 1: way to go. To get into any any picks that

2760
02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:42,480
Speaker 1: are different than the ones they've got, they'd have to

2761
02:09:42,640 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 1: package a bunch of stuff together. I don't think that's

2762
02:09:45,200 --> 02:09:47,120
Speaker 1: out of the realm of possibility. You're right, they do

2763
02:09:47,200 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of picks, but those picks are you know,

2764
02:09:49,600 --> 02:09:54,120
Speaker 1: they have three pick four picks. I'm sorry, that's not right,

2765
02:09:54,240 --> 02:09:56,920
Speaker 1: five picks inside the top hundred and they also have

2766
02:09:57,000 --> 02:09:58,920
Speaker 1: the hundred and two picks, so they got six picks

2767
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:01,640
Speaker 1: inside the hot top one hundred and two. They're right

2768
02:10:01,680 --> 02:10:03,160
Speaker 1: where a lot of people would want to be in

2769
02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:05,680
Speaker 1: this draft. They're right where a lot of people would

2770
02:10:05,680 --> 02:10:07,760
Speaker 1: want to be. So I think the Patriots have a

2771
02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:10,520
Speaker 1: better chance of standing pat actually than making a trade.

2772
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:12,600
Speaker 1: There you go, NFL True or False Brought to you

2773

2775
02:10:17,560 --> 02:10:31,040
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. So what have we learned today?

2776
02:10:31,080 --> 02:10:33,880
Speaker 1: Present at presented by Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's

Speaker 1: Theater the preferred alarm at Home Theater provider of the

2779
02:10:39,440 --> 02:10:42,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We did not learn who the Bills first

2780
02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:44,200
Speaker 1: pick will be, but we've danced arounded a lot. We

2781
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:48,720
Speaker 1: don't know. At least we knew. Hey, we're guessing. So

2782
02:10:48,880 --> 02:10:51,280
Speaker 1: what have we learned? Let me get to it here

2783
02:10:51,360 --> 02:10:54,480
Speaker 1: in the rundown? What have we learned? We had Tremaine

2784
02:10:54,560 --> 02:10:56,640
Speaker 1: Edmonds on the show Bills first round draft pick a

2785
02:10:56,760 --> 02:10:59,600
Speaker 1: year ago, talked about his draft experience last year on

2786
02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 1: this stay for Stay of the Draft. I mean it's

2787
02:11:03,800 --> 02:11:06,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a feeling that we dream of our whole life.

2788
02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, this is where we go to work for.

2789
02:11:08,040 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: It's what we've been playing ball for. But uh, I mean,

2790
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:13,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's really an experience that I can't

2791
02:11:13,400 --> 02:11:16,840
Speaker 1: I can't ever forget. You know. It's it's a little

2792
02:11:16,920 --> 02:11:19,480
Speaker 1: nerve rocking, but I mean that comes with it, you know,

2793
02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:21,480
Speaker 1: not knowing what you're gonna end up. But you know,

2794
02:11:21,560 --> 02:11:24,760
Speaker 1: I got my name called, then uh I had media

2795
02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:26,800
Speaker 1: stuff to do and then you know, here here goes

2796
02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:29,560
Speaker 1: my brother. Yeah. So you could just imagine, you know,

2797
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:31,920
Speaker 1: the energy that was going through that room with my

2798
02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:34,840
Speaker 1: family and you know, I even I saw a clip

2799
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:37,360
Speaker 1: when you know, they recorded me at my emotion and

2800
02:11:37,480 --> 02:11:40,400
Speaker 1: you know my reaction. But it was amazing, man, because

2801
02:11:40,440 --> 02:11:42,640
Speaker 1: I know how much he worked for. You know, you

2802
02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:44,560
Speaker 1: know how much I worked for just to see dreams

2803
02:11:44,600 --> 02:11:46,920
Speaker 1: come come true. There it's it's, it's it's amazing. You

2804
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:49,720
Speaker 1: were three main Edmonds in the studio with us right

2805
02:11:49,760 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 1: around noon today when we got going, and Lorenzo Alexander

2806
02:11:52,120 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 1: was in studio with us as well, the veteran linebacker

2807
02:11:54,800 --> 02:11:58,120
Speaker 1: undrafted back in two thousand and five. We asked Lorenzo

2808
02:11:58,320 --> 02:12:00,600
Speaker 1: what what do he asked, the builds picks when they

2809
02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:02,400
Speaker 1: show up here at one bills trip tomorrow, what question

2810
02:12:02,440 --> 02:12:06,320
Speaker 1: would he have for him? What I thought was unique

2811
02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:08,440
Speaker 1: this year that I've I've never at least I've never

2812
