Indeed, Steve Um got some NFL news 10 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: and notes to pass along to you. But before we 11 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: do that, this just in to the weather center here 12 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: at one Bill's Drive. It has stopped snowing. I'm happy 13 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: to port I am. I woke up to middle snow 14 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: on the roof of my patio, which is off of 15 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: my guest bedroom in the back of my home. I'm 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: walking down the hallway in the morning, you know, I 17 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: will I look outside. I was like, what is that 18 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: white stuff on my patio roof? Oh dear, the forecast 19 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: proved true. We have measurable snowfall on April twenty seventh. 20 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: I am, I was just here's a look at the 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: stadium for our MSG viewers. I was a hair nauseous 22 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: this morning. Now the ground is too outside of you know, 23 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: the grass and the lawn, the cement and the streets 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: are too warm from the weather we had just the 25 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: other day for me to accumulate. There be cleared up tomorrow, 26 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: but still come on, this is uh So I decided 27 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: to wear my Arctic Bills gear today, which is I'm 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: wearing a white top with the bill's logo on it, 29 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: and I thought that was rather appropriate for today in 30 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: light of the weather we did receive. We will, we 31 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: will remain resolute and hearty in our belief that things 32 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: will get better and then stay that way without any 33 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: more winter reprisals as we witnessed overnight. Right, yeah, totally unnecessary. 34 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: This is how I know God has a sense of humor, 35 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: or at least mother nature. Um, when we get toyed 36 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: with like yeah yeah yeah. Last weekend was a huge 37 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: pump fake and the second pump fake. Yes, And so 38 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: we'll see if I'm hoping there's only two summers actually 39 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: on the on the docket now going forward, which it 40 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: sound looks like it's gonna be. So here we go. 41 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, rough one this morning, no question right. We 42 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: had some interesting stories as we get closer and closer 43 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: to the draft and some of ESPN's insiders Dan Graziano, 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler, I know, I know you gave this a 45 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: read today. Some of the things they're hearing based on 46 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: the phone calls they've made over the last few days 47 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: pertaining to the draft. Essentially at number one. The general 48 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: talk is that the Jaguars are still considering Aidan Hutchinson, 49 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: Evan Neil and ikamquanu Ikiakuanu, but that Trayvon Walker might 50 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: in fact be the pick the traits player at number 51 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: one over the guy with the bigger body of work 52 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: in Aiden Hutchinson. So I'll have to see what comes 53 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: back there. Derek Stingley Junior, who didn't have a good 54 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: season on the field since twenty nineteen, had a monster 55 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: Pro Day workout, reportedly killed the interviews with NFL teams 56 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: and is now being considered as a top ten pick. 57 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: There are some that are saying he may even go 58 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: before Sauce Gardner, which is saying something we'll see. Also, 59 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: that thing with the Jaguars, nobody really is sure worth 60 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: they're going to do. At number one. Plus they just 61 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: so and people have been thinking thing, they're gonna take 62 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: Evan Neil one of the offensive tackles. So they just 63 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: extended today they're left tackle that they've got on the roster, 64 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: Cam Robinson right, So these extensions so that kind of 65 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: cools there, wouldn't that kind of cool your jets on 66 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: taking Evan Neil or I mean, they'll talk all along 67 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: is they're gonna take a pass rusher right to pair 68 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. And lately that we've been hearing that, hey, 69 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, Evan Neil, they may take an offensive alignment. 70 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: You know, give give Lawrence, Trevor, Lawrence a little bit 71 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: more protective, a couple of bookends, looks, you know, and 72 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: maybe they will that they get a cheap tackle as 73 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: a rookie to go along with their franchise left tackle 74 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: or move their franchise left tackle to right tackle and 75 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: put the rookie whatever. Yeah, but that's you gotta keep 76 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: an eye on that stuff too, because these teams continue 77 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: to sign players and the extend players right up until 78 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 1: the last moment. Yeah, there is talk that the Packers, 79 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: who we know need weapons for Aaron Rodgers after trading 80 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: away Devon Hey Adams and losing Marquees Valdez Scantling and 81 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: free agency to the Chiefs, we'll be looking to reload 82 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 1: at the receiver position or a tight end. Who knows. 83 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: And they there is a lot of talk, excuse me, 84 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: that they're considering day two receiver Tae Kwon Thornton, the 85 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: guy that blew it up at the combine, ran like 86 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: a four to eight out of Baylor. He's a Day 87 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: two prospect. The question is do they go receiver receiver 88 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: and really load up on offense. I mean it's possible, yeah, yeah, 89 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean think about this. They traded away Adams, they 90 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: did not resign Marquez, Valdez Scantling. Those are two of 91 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: your top three wideouts. You got some holes to they've got. Yeah, 92 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: they could go wide out, wide out. They've never you 93 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: know that. The big story, of course, is that they've 94 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: never taken a first round wide receiver when they've got 95 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Never done it. They've done a 96 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: couple of times in the second round, Jordy Nelson and 97 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: of course Avante Adams, which is why people and they 98 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: get home runs with those guys, and that's why people 99 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: are talking about Taekwon Thornton as a possibility on day two. 100 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: Maybe they and Aaron's gonna get the most out of 101 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: whoever they get, no question. I don't know. Yeah, maybe 102 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: they do. Maybe they try and make a statement. This 103 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers. They just he signed an extension, so 104 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: they got him for a while. Maybe they're gonna try 105 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: and load up and give him everything he wants in 106 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: these last couple of years of his career instead of 107 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: doing it some other way. Yeah, there's no telling. And 108 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: they and I'll say this too, they draft far enough 109 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: down or you know that you can kind of like 110 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to Things are gonna have to fall 111 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: their way to get it exactly the way they want 112 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: it anyway, just like the Bills at twenty five. Georgia 113 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver George Pickens, who we've talked about a lot 114 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: on this show, may not even last until round two. 115 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: There were some callers that we've had over the last 116 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and hey, can we get a guy 117 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: like that in round two or fifty seven? I didn't 118 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: think so. I thought he'd be in the top ten 119 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: picks of round two. Now now they're talking about him 120 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: rising into the late first round. Yeah, there is. There's 121 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: a wide range of opinion on Pickens for a couple 122 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: of reasons, some of his off the field concerns. Some 123 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: people are wondering, Hey, is this guy a hothead? Has 124 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: he matured? He got thrown out of a game for 125 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: fighting once is a one time thing. So I think 126 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: it's somewhat overblown and maybe people are trying to throw 127 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: others off the scent on Pickens. But six three one 128 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: ninety five and Pickens said he believes his range is 129 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: twenty five to forty five. Interesting that he picked pick 130 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: twenty five. Yeah, huh, what do we think of that? Yeah, 131 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: that's the Bills picked. Yeah, And it could be he's 132 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: he's one of those guys and he tell them he is. 133 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: He's that he's an attitude guy. And I haven't seen 134 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: the Bills take a guy like that since they took 135 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: Eric Molds. Yeah, Molds and the twenty fourth pick. Eric 136 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: was just as he's a bad add to the bone. 137 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: He was great dude and great teammate and he never 138 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: a problem or anything like that. But he slapped the 139 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: taste out of a DB's mouth. He would he would 140 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: absolutely bust him into jaw. Yeah, and he was great 141 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: dude to have on your team. Man, are you kidding? 142 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: The guy at a Hall of Fame talent and ability 143 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: and was you know, he got drafted by the Bills. 144 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: What can you say? You know at the beginning of 145 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: the drought. So that's what I see in this Pickings kid. 146 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: If he can you know, he's that kind of player. 147 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: He's an Eric Mould's type of level of talent. But 148 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: he's got a little bit too much of the grit 149 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: in him. For a lot of people, they think, you know, 150 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: he's gonna be one of those guys all of a 151 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: sudden you turn around and there's a fight in the 152 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: locker room. What's going on? You know he's in the 153 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: middle of it, or there's gonna be something where well 154 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: there's and there's an injury headcoat or yeah, yes, there's 155 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: an injury history and also there you know, GM gets 156 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: a call from the local police at one am. Oh gosh, who, 157 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's got those coming off the 158 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: field problems, don't know. It's I think people are genuinely 159 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: wondering can he keep his emotion in check? Just like 160 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm doing hammerheads? Like me, people jump to conclusions about 161 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: the kid. Yeah, they go, oh, he's one of these, 162 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: but you know what, the club's going there and sitting 163 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: down and talk. They look down, they look him in 164 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: the eye and say, okay, what about it? What do 165 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: you got to say? And they let the kid talk. 166 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: So if you take him, it's because you've looked him 167 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: in the eye and you and you like what you see. 168 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: And there's a lot there to like. There's a lot 169 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: there to like. And he has not been shy about 170 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: answering for what happened to him in his career. And 171 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, zone was so much you can answer from. 172 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they guyt an a cl But I'll tell 173 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: you this, he came back quick from the ACL and 174 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: was a difference maker. And I gave him credit. He 175 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: is an. I gave him credit for playing in their 176 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: last four games. Yes, he could have sat and said, 177 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: hey man, I gotta take care of my draft. He 178 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: went back to his team. He showed a ton of heart, 179 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: a ton of heart and a ton of character in 180 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: doing that. And I I gotta clap my hands from him. 181 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: I'll say this, they take him, I'm I'm good gonna 182 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: like it. I'm gonna like that if they get him 183 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: at twenty five, I'm all about it. That guy can go. Yeah, 184 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: that guy runs in the four fours. He's one of 185 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: the only receivers over six one, you know, running in 186 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: the four fours. Most of the superspeed guys in this 187 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: draft are below that height. And this is a quote 188 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: that really caught my eye. Jeremy Fowler talked to him 189 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: on the phone and he says Pickens believes he has 190 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: matured since the well publicized fight with a Georgia Tech 191 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: player in the end zone that got him thrown out 192 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: of that game. Quote this is from Pickens. The Internet 193 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: can portray you in different ways, but seeing me in 194 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: a different light, I believe teams were pleasantly surprised in 195 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: the interview settings. A lot of teams wanted to get 196 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: to know me personally. So I took a few business 197 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: trips and believed they saw that side of me, a 198 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: mature side. So we'll see. We'll see if he improved 199 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: his draft stock by coming across favorably to teams really 200 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: want to know, Hey, are you going to be getting 201 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: kicked out of games because you're a hothead or you know? 202 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it was the same thing with Richie Incognito 203 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: when he can remember that, that's right, he was getting kicked. 204 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: He got kicked out of five games. Well, and Bill's 205 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: fans of a certain vintage remember the guy Brian Cox 206 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: from the from the Dolphins. That guy was getting tossed 207 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: every other week for a stretch of games during the 208 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: nineteen what was a ninety one ninety two seasons, somewhere 209 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: in there ninety three seasons, he was getting tossed every 210 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: other week. I mean literally tossed out of the game 211 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: because he was fighting and and and you know one 212 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: of our our guys used to like bait him into 213 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: doing it. Um. So you know, Pickens, with this history, 214 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: he is going to be a target as a rookie. Yeah, 215 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: they'll they'll see what he's called. He'll get all up 216 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: in his grill and start talking to him. But it's 217 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: it's a concerned You gotta have a guy that's going 218 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: to be able to line up every week, and he's 219 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: not gonna be ineligible, you know, like you know, like 220 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: he didn't get good enough grades or something. You can't. 221 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: You gotta have the guys got to be available every week, 222 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: both with injury and with his character and his off 223 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: the field life. He's either got to have a support 224 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: system in hand when his family is his friends or 225 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, whoever lives with him and keeps him up 226 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: right and keeps him out of that or like every 227 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: other guy does, like every other guy does, it's going 228 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: to be an issue. Yeah, And but here's the thing. 229 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: It's it's that huge. Is the famous thing we all 230 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: see in pro sports and in college sports too. The 231 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: guy can really play, Yeah, but he's got some issues. 232 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: So how many how many of the issues are you 233 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: gonna be able to and a place like Buffalo with McDermott, 234 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: with Steph Digs in the room, who with Gabe Davis 235 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: in the room, with all these guys in the room 236 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: who've been there, who say, hey, hey hey, bro, listen, take 237 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: a chill. Let's go and and keep and get him 238 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: and get him get his mind right week to week 239 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: and help him, you know, and lead the guy into 240 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: a great player. Um, he'll take it over on his own, 241 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: sooner or later he'll be good. And if you've got 242 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: that kind of culture that can absorb that kind of 243 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: guy and make him better and get the most out 244 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: of him, oh my gosh, you can't afford not to 245 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: pick a guy like that. One of Pickens's former Georgia 246 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: teammates who transferred to Florida State to get more time 247 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: on the field, looks like that was a great decision 248 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: for him. Jermaine Johnson is now being talked about as 249 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: a top ten pick. He's one of the pass rushers 250 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: in this draft. A lot of people thought he's gonna 251 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: be the fourth or fifth pass rusher off the board 252 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: down in the team somewhere. Now people are talking about 253 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: him as a top ten selection. One NFL coordinator called 254 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: him the most polished, polished pass rusher in the entire class. 255 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: They're thinking the Jets might look at him at ten. 256 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: He is long, strong, and effective. His length is what 257 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: I think helps him more than anything, because he gets 258 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: into those tackles and guards and he gets his hands 259 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: on them first, and that's half the battle. Sometimes. It'll 260 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: be interesting to see where he comes off the board. 261 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: It's been a lot of talk about what the Giants 262 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: are gonna do at five and seven. The general consensus 263 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: is offensive tackle at five and then try to trade 264 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: out at seven and accumulate more draft capital, if not 265 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: this year, an extra one next year. So we'll see 266 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: if Joe Shane can pull something like that off. But 267 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: right now, the early buzzes ain't. Nobody really wants to 268 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: get into the top ten. It costs a premium and 269 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: you don't have true elite prospects this year, right, And 270 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: there's plenty of value dropping down from that from the 271 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: top ten, plenty of value, plenty of guys you can get. 272 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a stretch. And it looks like to me, 273 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Brownie Seefew agree outside say there's outside the top ten 274 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: or in the top ten, between draft number ten and 275 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: number thirty two, it's like, you can you can justify 276 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: about a lot of guys, more than twenty two guys, 277 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: more than twenty two guys. And certainly that's true. We 278 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: know that's true from the from the bills twenty fifth pick, 279 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: all the way through the end of the second round, 280 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: and probably in the early third. There's gonna be a 281 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: ton of seventy five, right, There's gonna be a ton 282 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: of people that people are yeah, okay, so I had 283 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: this guy a little over this guy that. You know, 284 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: you'll get wide variety of opinions, so it's not going 285 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: to be hard to justify whoever you pick in the 286 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: first four rounds of this draft because of the disparity 287 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: of opinions, much more so than than years past. There's 288 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: a belief that a main pivot point in round one 289 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: could happen to pick nine with Seattle. Seattle, So Seattle 290 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: needs a quarterback or they're thinking they do, right, but 291 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: if no quarterbacks are off the board, do they feel 292 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: they can slide back a couple of picks, get some 293 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: more draft capital and still get a quarterback that they want. 294 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: You're you know, you're always playing you're playing risk right there? 295 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: Do you think Seattle sees Malik Willis as a perfect 296 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: replacement for Russ Wilson. That's the same foot, athletic, poised leader, 297 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: got some production and he did not play in a 298 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: pro style offense right there, and Russell Wilson played in 299 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: two of them because he played an NC State and 300 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: then transferred to Wisconsin. Transferred to Wisconsin in August. He 301 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: learned that offensive system in a month up at Wisconsin, 302 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: a pro style system, and took the team to the 303 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. Yeah, I mean I was impressive. He went 304 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: from the one month, from from like three deep in 305 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: the depth chart to starting Rose Bowl. It's pretty impressive. Yeah, 306 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: so I don't know if Mali, but also it has 307 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: those credentials. I've read some things where they a lot 308 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: of scouts and people in the NFL think that maligue 309 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: Willis's offense was a big problem for him. It was 310 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: too simple. It was it was one read and if 311 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: you don't see anything, go right and make something, you know, 312 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: tuck it up and go and that. So it's not 313 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: really wasn't really a highly developed offensive scheme, and they 314 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: really didn't ask too much from him except just be yourself, 315 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: go out there and play um. Now, that's that's a 316 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: that can be seen in both ways. One is a 317 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: strike against Maligan is also a strike in his favor. Listen, 318 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: they didn't give him much to work with, or two 319 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: they didn't give much to work with because they didn't 320 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: think he could handle or he couldn't handle it. But 321 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: the guy's really the best physically prepared quarterback in this draft. 322 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: To me, he's got the biggest arm, the biggest pro trip, 323 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: biggest pro arm, and he's also the athletic player that 324 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: you need, so tools he was He's probably the number 325 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: one guy in the draft. One of the biggest enigmas 326 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: for Night one figures to be Georgia linebacker na Kobe 327 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: Dean right, fantastic off the charts football instincts in terms 328 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: of reading offense, is knowing what's coming, etc. But he's 329 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: under sized. He's five eleven two twenty nine and he 330 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lead speed. So if you're undersized and 331 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: you're not fast, I think that's gonna be a tough 332 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: thing for a lot of NFL gms to work around 333 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: and still justify investing a high draft choice in him. 334 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: So there are some that apparently love him and some 335 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: that wouldn't even take him in the first round. He yes, 336 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: he really smart, learned to playbook quick, but he played 337 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: on a defense surrounded by first round draft picks. I 338 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: mean everywhere. I mean he was well. Lineman rarely got 339 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: to him at the second level because the defensive line 340 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: was so good that you'd hold everybody up. There are 341 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: plays when he could have been playing against air so 342 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: he could just run all the way to the ball. 343 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know what kind of physicality he's gonna 344 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: bring to the tip because he's little, even by my standards, 345 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: he's long at linebacker. He's like he's not quite Sam Mills, 346 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: but that's what you're looking at. Sam Mills and London 347 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: Fletcher kind of guy. And he's not thick. Now, those 348 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: guys are great. Those guys are great players. But he doesn't. 349 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: He weighs two twenty five to twenty so that's gonna 350 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: be tough. I have some real issue, not that he's 351 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: not smart. He's a really smart guy, but he's little, 352 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: and he's and he's not very fast. They didn't test. 353 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: Nobody's got an official time on him either. He can't run. 354 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: He plays good, but he can't run. And I get it. 355 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: You know, hey, look at the tape. It doesn't lie. Okay, fine, 356 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 1: we let's put him on Vanderbilt's defense to see how 357 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: good he plays. Yeah. The most interesting tidbit from Jeremy 358 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: Fowler and Dan Graziano ESPN were the names that scouts 359 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: are higher on than you than you might think, Like 360 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: guys that could go earlier than you're thinking. Right, Kyler 361 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: Gordon the Washington Corner after he ran a four or 362 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: five two, a lot of people feel, oh, he's not 363 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: even gonna be a first round pick. There's a chance 364 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: he could still be. Oklahoma linebacker Brian Asamoa, who we 365 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: talked to Greg Kosell about and you know, again another 366 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: undersized player. But this guy's got speed, unlike Nakobe Dean 367 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: Georgia linebacker Quay Walker, who has all the measurables in 368 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: the world that you could want. I mean, he might 369 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: be the closest thing in this draft to Tremaine Edmonds 370 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: in terms of pure measure rubles, but the knock on 371 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: him his instincts. Ohio State tight end Jeremy Ruckert, Long 372 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: Island native, So I'm a little partial there, but nice player. 373 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: The only problem with his tape is they never had 374 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: him work the seam. Everything is underneath and intermediate. There's 375 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: no like. They don't have him pushing the seam up 376 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: the field, so people are wondering, like can he do that? 377 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: They haven't seen him do it, so there's no way 378 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: to know. Memphis receiver Calvin Austin third only goes about 379 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: five to seven, but I mean he is quick as 380 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: a hiccup four three two in the forty. Kid can fly. 381 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: He just outruns angles. Impressive Western Kentucky edge rusher D'Angelo 382 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: Malone probably a Day two, Day three guy. Central Michigan 383 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: offensive tackle Luke Godecki, who projects to guard might be 384 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: one of the first two or three guards off the board. 385 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: Virginia tight end, jel Lonnie Woods, Steve Okay, the Behemoth 386 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 1: so six seven, All right, So Brownie gets on this 387 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: rant this morning. We're getting ready for the show, and 388 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: I hear him over there. He's hooting and hollering at 389 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: his computer. He's watching this Jelani Woods highlight tape and 390 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, what, let me see this guy looks like 391 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: like a fifteen year old kid playing with a bunch 392 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: of eight year olds. I mean, he's like head and 393 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: shoulders taller than anybody on the field, and he's just 394 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: like rocking people catching. He's good athlete. He's very raw, 395 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: he's yeah, but he also has some great body control. 396 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: Catches the ball river a six. Yeah. So he's he's 397 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: a big dude. Now, he's got some traits. He looks 398 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: to me like he's a completely natural athlete. I don't. 399 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like right, it looks like he 400 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: just walked off the street. He doesn't have like you know, 401 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the arms and the muscle definition and 402 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: all that stuff you know going for him. But he's 403 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: a big dude. You get him in a season program though, 404 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: and watch what happens. Well, I don't want to. I 405 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: want to know why he needs to get an NFL 406 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: offseason program. Why you didn't do it? You know, Yeah, 407 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: I get that at Virginia or whatever. But if you 408 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: believe in his upside, you're thinking, you know, a year 409 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: from now. I mean, I was telling you the other day. 410 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: I walked down the hall last week and I saw 411 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau. You want to talk about a physical transformation. 412 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: Oh my god, weight like through the chest and the shoulders. 413 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: Holy cow, he don't even look like the same guy. 414 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like a pterodactyl. He's just he's 415 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: like a condor. It's with muscles. It's crazy. It's the 416 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: transformation from l that's one offseason an NFL program. He 417 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: is jacked. I would guess, if I had to guess, 418 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: I would say he put on between ten to twelve 419 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: pounds of lean muscle he is. Yeah, maybe it might 420 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: be fifteen pounds because he's so tall. To get that 421 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: kind of difference, it's more weight. Um, he's got to 422 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: be eating like ten thousand color is a day, right, 423 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: these guys, Yeah, they wake up to eat so um. Yeah. 424 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: And I was checking out too. I saw Oj Howard 425 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: today and I saw he's Tim Settle too, and I 426 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: was like, and that, I'll say this, I've and we've 427 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: had it. We've gone the entire full circle, you and 428 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: I over the course of our time here. We've both 429 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: been here a couple of decades at least. Right, this team, 430 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: they got some traits. They got guys who walk off 431 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: the bus and you're like going, oh God, look at that. 432 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: Who is that? He like, they're unbelieved, their head turners. Great, 433 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: I didn't. That's exactly what I did. Great rock by. 434 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: I looked up at him. I was like, because he 435 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: had a tank top on, like you know, cut off sleeves. Yeah, 436 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: so the guns were out and I walked by, I 437 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: like saw his arms. I was like, those didn't look 438 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: like that last year. And then as he passed me 439 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: turned around again, I was like, did I see that? Right? 440 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: Is huge? So they you know, they like, well you 441 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: expect it though. They're a team that's favored by a 442 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: lot of people to win the Super Bow, not just 443 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: get their favored to win the super Bowl. They're they're 444 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: people are looking at this team like, oh my gosh. 445 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: You know they saw the way they finished the season 446 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: last year where everybody was screaming about the overtime rules 447 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: being changed because they you know, they lost the coin flip. Unbelievable, 448 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: But that's that's the way they should look. And the 449 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: man they filled the Bill And again, that's an example 450 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: of finding a guy with Bill's DNA, a guy that's 451 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: going to put the work in in the off season 452 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: to make that transformation to make himself a better player 453 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: on that. That's why I'm saying this guy woulds I mean, like, okay, 454 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: he's a pretty good player and all that, but is 455 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: it his thing, you know, or is it gonna be 456 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: one of those guys you have to like has he 457 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: just been good because he's been big in every level 458 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: of football. Got somebody on your training staff that all 459 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: they do is they meet him at the door in 460 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: the morning and they and they're on him all day. 461 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go, let's go. I don't know, that's 462 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: that's a crusher if you got to do that. We've 463 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: got a fun show for you today coming up in 464 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: about oh seven or eight minutes.

Our colleague, Bills reporter Maddie 491 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: glab has been hard at work compiling every mock draft 492 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: under the sun with any measure or shred of credibility, 493 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: and she has compiled the final tallies as to the 494 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: most popular picks for the Bills, the most popular position 495 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: picks for the Bills. We've sliced it and diced it 496 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: every which way. You can imagine. Maddie will be here 497 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: to break that all down for us in the second 498 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: hour of the show. So we look forward to those 499 00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: two conversations coming up. Laramie Tunsil Steve has officially jumped 500 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: the shark. Good for him, I give him credit. This 501 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: is creative, so he tweeted earlier today. For the past 502 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: six years, I've been asked about this moment, the gas mask. 503 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: We all know what we're talking about here. When he 504 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: got drafted six years ago, video surfaced right before around 505 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: his time on the clock when he was going to 506 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: get draft theres right before the draft started. I want 507 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: to say it was somebody released a video of him 508 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: in a gas mask, smoking pot and basically holding it 509 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: inside the gas mask or a better high I can 510 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: only assume, so, he says, I spent six years trying 511 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: to do rather than say on the field and off 512 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: the field. I spoke with this podcast for the first 513 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: time about this moment, and today, the day before Draft Day, 514 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm officially moving on and putting this moment in the past. 515 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: I'm minting a one of one NFT of the infamous 516 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: gas mask video to be listed. A portion of the 517 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: proceeds will benefit Last Prisoner PRJ, which supports those incarcerated 518 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: for cannabis offenses. And for those of you that don't 519 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: know what NFTs are, they're these non fungible tokens that 520 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: are sold online two interested buyers and then they own 521 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: the rights to that NFT. So the video is the 522 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: NFT that someone would be purchasing, and there is only one. 523 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: So he's trying to raise money for a cause that's 524 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: near and dear to him. It's a little bit ironic. 525 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: Good for him, though, but hey, talk about turning a 526 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 1: negative into a positive. We've been saying it. I mean, 527 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It'll probably happen. Something's gonna come out 528 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: at the eleventh hour about somebody in the top five, 529 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: top ten of this draft. Josh Allen, had it happened 530 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: to him, That's right, lurimy Tunsel, Josh Allen, Um, and 531 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: some you know, uh, Anthony Dixon, the running back from 532 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: Cincinnati who the video came out of him in the 533 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: altercation with a female Joe Joe Mixon, you think Joe Mixon, 534 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: Oklahoma and um, you know, things like that, and and 535 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: the timing of it is not random. So somebody's got 536 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 1: an ax. Somebody's got an extragrunn. So we're just sitting here, 537 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: you know, on the day before. What will happen, What 538 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: happens when, when, and who's it gonna be.

Um, 542 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see if it happens this year. Certainly, 543 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully it doesn't happen, but yeah, people think 544 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: they can get something out of it for some reason. Yeah, 545 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: we shall see. But it will happen, you know, it 546 00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: will to somebody somewhere.

All right, we gotta take a break here. 550 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: When we return, we hope to have Gabriel Davis with us. 551 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: He's in and around the building.

You haven't seen him in a while. 655 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: You know, it's good to get a break after a 656 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: long season. But then you go probably a month and 657 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: you're like, all right, you know, time it's ready to 658 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: go back and compete again.

Yeah, you know, Josh kind of towering over 666 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: me a little bit. That's a tough guy to be 667 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: standing next. Yeah, exactly. So no, but it's awesome. Gladly 668 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: I see people took it and ran without seeing some 669 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: funny posts about it. Yeah, it was good. It was 670 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: all good fun.

I'm just going good. I mean, my fai, 673 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a great offense, gonna be a lot 674 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: of fun. You know, Ken Dorsey has a great past 675 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: of when he played and he was a quarterback, so 676 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, you know what guys like to do like 677 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: that and already go out there and sling a little 678 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: bit and have some fun. I can't imagine what kind 679 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: of runs through your head, because you know, the game 680 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 1: you had in Kansas City was like a coming out 681 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 1: party for you individually. I know you would have taken 682 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: a win over anything like that anyway. But then it's 683 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: but then you're done, and it's like, man, I was 684 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: just dominating. Now I gotta wait nine months before I 685 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: get to get on a How how do you compartmentalize 686 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 1: all of that? Because you fight, your game finally hits 687 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 1: critical mass for everyone to see, ye and now you've 688 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: got to sit and wait nine months before you can 689 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: get on the field and show people again. How do 690 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: you how do you navigate that? Well? You know, you 691 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: know a lot of people take that game and they 692 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: bring it up still now to this day, and I'm 693 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: a guy who tries to, you know, leave that alone. 694 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: The passes a past, No one cares about that anymore. 695 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: That's what you're gonna do, you know now, and I 696 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: try to focus on that. Would have been good to 697 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: be able to keep performing that same year, of course, 698 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: because you know, getting on a street like that as well. 699 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: But you know it was I had the opportunity to 700 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: show what I can do. And now I'm just ready 701 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: when it starts game one to be able to show that, 702 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, it can be on a consistent basis. I 703 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: don't know about four and ten sounds a game now, Well, no, 704 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, of course, of course, discount the possibility, 705 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, the probability may be a little bit different, 706 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: of course. So tell us a little a little bit 707 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 1: about you know, what do you got now that you've 708 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: been you're a wirely salty old vet.

You know too as well, So definitely get 715 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: the guys who stay in town. We try to hang 716 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: out and do things. We go out golfing and do 717 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Maybe we'll head to somebody's house and 718 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, turn the draft on, just hang out and 719 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: play cards or something. But definitely something I'll bring him to. 720 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: The guy part of your draft story was after you 721 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: got drafted, you went out and started running around. Start 722 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: running arounds wherever you we're in backyard or something, you're 723 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: out in the Yeah, so we were running around.

And I know that Casey talked about earlier 727 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,439 Speaker 1: how he wanted to throw. So we were just waiting 728 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: to see when I got drafted. Then after that we 729 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: were gonna throw. It wasn't a show for anybody to 730 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: be able to come out there and see. It was 731 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: a planned It was already planned. So whether I got 732 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: drafted that day or not, I was gonna be throwing 733 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: that day. I got um.

I try to stay as humbling 738 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: and have humility in this game because it would be 739 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: taken from you whenever.

The biggest thing in OTAs 819 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,959 Speaker 1: was this is bonding with the guys that man, feel 820 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: like the closer you are, the more you want to 821 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: fight on that field and one for you, one for 822 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: your brothers, and that's what we need to do.

The interplay between Gabriel Davis and 838 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie on the phone alone. Yeah, it is enough 839 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: to watch those two guys go back and forth. It's 840 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: like Laurel and Hardy. Yeah, when you ab in Costello, 841 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,360 Speaker 1: when you're in the locker room with these guys, you 842 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: can imagine. And it's and it really is one of 843 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: those stereotypes that's proven to be true. You get on 844 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: the phone with the get in the locker room and 845 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: there's nothing that's off limits or out of bounds. Time 846 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: it's talked about. And it's that same kind of attitude 847 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: that these two Doude. They absolutely abuse each other, and 848 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: it's it's like nothing they don't even it doesn't even 849 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: register on their I'm hurt meter, you know, It's like 850 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 1: they just keep going. Yeah, and uh, it's a lot 851 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: of fun. It's pretty reminiscent all the days that I 852 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: spend in the locker room and then to see these 853 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: guys acting like, you know, it's good. We never had 854 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: FaceTime or anything like that to day it was. It's 855 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,919 Speaker 1: pretty fun. Good. It's a great way to stay in touch, 856 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: obviously the best way yet. And and uh, it's a 857 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: good way. And like he said, this off seat in 858 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: this time of year, and this kind of thing is 859 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: you can keep the teamwork rolling. You know, you can 860 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: kind of build teamwork and build camaraderie even when you're 861 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,760 Speaker 1: not in the same building. It's it's a great, great tool. 862 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 1: Also featured in that episode is Dawson Knox, as the 863 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: crew went down to Nashville where he lives in the 864 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,280 Speaker 1: off seat as well. They spent some time with him too. 865 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: So Dawson Knox, Isaiah McKenzie, Gabriel Davis all featured in 866 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: this episode of Embedded once Again, an airing tonight on 867 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: the you Bill's YouTube channel at seven p m. So 868 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: be sure to check it out there. Wanted to take 869 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: a quick phone call here before we had to go 870 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,720 Speaker 1: to break and it's Tyler waiting for us in North Carolina. 871 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Tyler? Tyler, are you there? 872 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Yeah? I got you now, Okay, 873 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: how you guys doing We're doing good? What you got 874 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,919 Speaker 1: for us? All right? So I had a couple of questions. One, 875 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: I was wondering, what you guys can what'd you guys 876 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,240 Speaker 1: see as far as the biggest difference between the regime 877 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: and the front office that we have now compared to 878 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: what we had in the regime, back when Buddy Nix 879 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 1: and Doug Whaley were the general managers. It's just it's 880 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 1: it's just a clear night and day thing. But I 881 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: can't put my finger on, like, what is it that 882 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: they were doing that seemed to be wrong compared to 883 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 1: what Brandon Bean is doing now that has worked, like 884 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: turned so many things around. So I was hoping you 885 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: guys could explain that. And my second question is, is there, 886 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: with all of this stuff, all of his taught going on, 887 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: with the draft and the Bills, who they're gonna get 888 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: at twenty five? Is there anyone that you can see 889 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: where the Bills might be interested in trading up for. 890 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 1: I know me personally, I'm a big um. What's his name, 891 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: Derek Stingley. I've been a Derek Stingley fan since he 892 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: was a freshman at LSU, and I would love to 893 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: see the Bills trade up to get him. But yeah, 894 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,959 Speaker 1: those are my questions. What do you guys think? All right? Thanks? Tyler? 895 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: It depends on Tyler, depends on how far up they 896 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: have to go. I doubt that they're gonna trade up 897 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 1: too far, although they're they're gonna have some takers. Some 898 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: guys inquiring, but they're gonna be so high and you're 899 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 1: gonna have to pay. So if now, if if teams 900 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 1: are desperate to get out of the top ten, and 901 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: you get a top ten pick for less than an 902 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, than another first round, and whatever else goes 903 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: with it, it depends on what you got to give up. 904 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't think too many team are gonna be given 905 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: up draft picks to get up a few rounds because 906 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 1: there's not going to be that much difference between you know, 907 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: these picks. There is a top ten pick, he's probably 908 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: gonna go in the top ten. I don't see him 909 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 1: getting anywhere past twelve. And I think the cost of 910 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,359 Speaker 1: getting up that high from twenty five is too rich 911 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: for Buffalo. So I don't know if Stingley is going 912 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: to be in play for the Bills because the cost 913 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,839 Speaker 1: is just going to be too exorbitant for Brandon being 914 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 1: to entertain. I don't know that there's any but now 915 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: there's probably more than one guy they would love to 916 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 1: have and maybe trade up to get, but they're not 917 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: going to pay the price to do it because they 918 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: draft so well that even if they sit where they're at, 919 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna get a good player to give you like, 920 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: if they do decide to move up, I'd be really 921 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 1: surprised if they move any higher than Pittsburgh at twenty 922 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 1: we're talking like a handful of picks. I think maximum 923 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: for somebody they like, really like who's somehow slid down 924 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: the board. That's the only way I could see them 925 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,839 Speaker 1: going up. And I don't see him going up higher 926 00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 1: than twenty two. Pitts Man. As for your other question 927 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: about what's different about this front office, I don't think 928 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,800 Speaker 1: it's a simple question. I think that's a pretty complex 929 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: But I'll say this, it starts at the very tippy top. 930 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: It starts with Terry and Kim, the way they run things, 931 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: the freedom and the empowerment they give to Brandon Bean 932 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: and Sean McDermot. Now, Brandon and Sean have earned a 933 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 1: long leash for the way they've handled everything, but it 934 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: starts with Terry and Kim and the way they run 935 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 1: the show. That's one reason that the team's more successful 936 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: on the field. You get you well, you never saw 937 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: even with the Mario Williams thing a few years. You know, 938 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: back in the day, it was rare that you saw 939 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 1: the Bills be able to make a deal like a 940 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: von Miller deal this year and also extend you know 941 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 1: the guys they've extended, you know, the Josh Allen deal, 942 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: all these. You know, you gotta have cash flow and 943 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: Terry and Kim's willingness to write those checks and kick 944 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: it down down the road, as well as in on 945 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 1: draft day listening to the guys who do the film 946 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,879 Speaker 1: work and giving them leeway, okay, go ahead. A lot 947 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: is in that, but it all starts with the very 948 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,240 Speaker 1: tippy top and hiring the right people and then trusting 949 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: them to do the right thing. And then there's a 950 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: million moving parts after that as well. But you can 951 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: lay the success of the franchise right at the feet 952 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: of ownership and their willingness to hire the right people 953 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 1: and trust them. And I would just say the other 954 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: difference is Doug Whaley was GM here for essentially four seasons, 955 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: had two head coaches, a bunch of different assistant coaches, 956 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 1: and was still in that drought period where there was 957 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: constant churn with coaching staffs rosters. You're always retooling the roster. 958 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 1: There's no continuity to build on the previous year and 959 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 1: then build on top of that. When McDermott and being 960 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 1: came in. There was a clear vision and they were 961 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: given time to execute that vision, and there was patience, 962 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: there was continuity. There were also a lot of good 963 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: decisions made. Yeah, But the fact that they could finally 964 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,799 Speaker 1: lay a foundation then build on that foundation without having 965 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,240 Speaker 1: to change it here, there and everywhere, again and again 966 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: and again lends itself to building it to where it 967 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 1: is now. Along for a long time under the when 968 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 1: Russ Brandon was the president for a lot of years, 969 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: one thing they constantly struggled with was hiring the right 970 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 1: people at head coach and GM and all that. And 971 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 1: one of the reasons they struggled to do that wasn't 972 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: that they weren't willing to interview them or hire them 973 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: or even pay them. It was there getting them to 974 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 1: say yes. As much as I loved Ralph Wilson and 975 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 1: know a lot to him, when I left here in 976 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety, he was almost eighty, he's getting on here. 977 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,320 Speaker 1: He was almost eighty, And that was considered an unstable 978 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 1: ownership situation for a lot of head coaching camp. They 979 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 1: didn't want to come take the job and have the 980 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,239 Speaker 1: owner pass away, or having ownership change and then be 981 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 1: stuck here and then be out and without ever getting 982 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,320 Speaker 1: a chance. That went on from the time Ralph was 983 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 1: eighty until he passed away at ninety five. There were 984 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: head coaches who were like, you know, I mean quality. 985 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,760 Speaker 1: I've had a couple of them tell me the story 986 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: at years later. They viewed it as untenable. They viewed 987 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: it as a bad spot just because not that Ralph 988 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: was a bad guy or a bad but he was 989 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:21,240 Speaker 1: he was frail. That was an issue for a long 990 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: long time because you know, Ralph was the owner from 991 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,240 Speaker 1: the very beginning and it wasn't going to change until 992 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,719 Speaker 1: he was gone, and nobody knew when that was gonna be. 993 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: So that was a real problem for the last decade 994 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 1: and a half of the franchise under Ralph's ownership. Break 995 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: time for us here, but when we come back, it 996 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 1: is the final mock draft. Watch Bill's reporter Mattie Glad 997 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 1: will be joining us as she has compiled the final 998 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: list of the most popular player and position picks for 999 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,719 Speaker 1: the Bills at twenty five. What does the majority of 1000 00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 1: all the mocks say? We find out next here on 1001 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,280 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo 1002 00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 1: Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been all 1003 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: over her fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of 1004 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:24,720 Speaker 1: a dual role player for you, Stave, Stave a blimp. 1005 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: We're not even in the stratosphere of normalcy, all right? 1006 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: Our number two? And what better thing to do the 1007 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:40,840 Speaker 1: day before the draft than to list the final addition 1008 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,479 Speaker 1: of mock Draft Watch. Actually there is another one still 1009 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 1: to come on Buffalo bills dot com. But here is 1010 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: the person that has been diligently compiling and crunching the 1011 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: numbers and the names of those players mocked to the 1012 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: Bills at pick twenty five. It is our colleague and 1013 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 1: good friend, Maddie Glab joining us here and Maddie, it 1014 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 1: looks like, based on the list you have, there is 1015 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 1: a true consensus player that is far and away. I 1016 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 1: was gonna say he's above a lot of other guys. 1017 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 1: This is like secretariats. There's only in the bellmore's I mean, 1018 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 1: way out in front of everybody else, and then there's 1019 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 1: always one. There's one guy close to him, but not 1020 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 1: that you know what I mean, not that close. This guy, 1021 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,880 Speaker 1: the first guy was mocked twenty two times to the Bills, 1022 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: and the other guy was seventeen times. Nobody else has 1023 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,879 Speaker 1: more than ten, has even ten, and these guy ones 1024 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 1: got seventeen, ones got twenty two. Okay, tell us. So 1025 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 1: I went through and compiled because at this point, and 1026 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 1: I've updated this list again because we're gonna have one 1027 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: more mock draft come out tomorrow, So all these numbers 1028 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 1: that will give you right now are updated and a 1029 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 1: little bit different than what may be on Buffalo Bills 1030 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,800 Speaker 1: dot com. But I have tracked one hundred and forty 1031 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 1: four mock drafts. I'm gonna do a couple more, probably 1032 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,240 Speaker 1: this afternoon and some more tomorrow morning before our final 1033 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 1: mock Draft watch comes out. But of those one hundred 1034 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 1: and forty four, we made a top eight prospects list, 1035 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 1: So the prospects who were mocked to the Buffalo Bills 1036 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: the most and also gave you a top positions mocked 1037 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills at number twenty five. So the 1038 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:25,359 Speaker 1: guy who was above everybody else by double digits is 1039 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 1: Andrew Booth, Junior out of Clemson, one of the most 1040 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: recent mock drafts I tracked had him again, so he 1041 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,720 Speaker 1: has now been mocked to the Buffalo Bills twenty three 1042 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 1: times since January yeah, and he's number twenty three. How 1043 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 1: about that? Oh well no, But I mean the thing, 1044 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 1: And we've had several draft analysts on the show as 1045 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,320 Speaker 1: you would imagine Mannie over the last month or so, 1046 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,880 Speaker 1: and everybody from former NFL gms to guys that follow 1047 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 1: the draft and watch college football and do nothing else 1048 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,680 Speaker 1: and grade players, most of them are of the opinion 1049 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 1: that he is an excellent scheme fit for what the 1050 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: Bills do. Now, some people have said this guy has 1051 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 1: as versatile a skill set as you could ask for 1052 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: from a corner, so he could technically fit in just 1053 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,839 Speaker 1: about any scheme, but for what the Bills do. A 1054 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,839 Speaker 1: lot of these guys believe he is unquestionably a fit 1055 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,360 Speaker 1: with a capital AFT. And when you hear so many 1056 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,759 Speaker 1: analysts talk about him in that way, and somebody who 1057 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: could fit with the Buffalo Bills, but could who could 1058 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 1: all also probably fit in with a lot of other teams. 1059 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 1: You wonder when is the run on corner is going 1060 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 1: to start? Is he even going to be available at 1061 00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,399 Speaker 1: number twenty five? And in the commercial break, we were 1062 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 1: talking about the worst thing would be to get to 1063 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 1: number twenty five and the cream of the crop at 1064 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,320 Speaker 1: least who we're thinking it's the cream of the crop 1065 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: isn't available anymore. Yeah, yeah, And it's been our consensus, 1066 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 1: not on what you think Maddy would ask you right now. 1067 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 1: We think, you know, cornerback or wide receiver are kind 1068 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: of the top thing because you know, you got Josh, 1069 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,359 Speaker 1: you want to, you know, give him another weapon, get 1070 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,240 Speaker 1: some depth there, or somebody can really play, or somebody 1071 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: can even contribute. And of course corner for both quality 1072 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:10,720 Speaker 1: and depth. That seems like, you know, the most likely 1073 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,279 Speaker 1: position group that the Bills would draft from a twenty five, 1074 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:17,800 Speaker 1: But twenty five is a big number. You're waiting a while. 1075 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,319 Speaker 1: If the run starts on either one or both of 1076 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 1: those position groups, they run out pretty quick to make 1077 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: a move. Of the hundred and forty four mock drafts 1078 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 1: we've tracked, cornerback has been mocked to the Buffalo Bills, 1079 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 1: and I'll combine corner and defensive back have been mocked 1080 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills sixty nine times. So that is 1081 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: a huge number. A lot of people think we're going 1082 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,839 Speaker 1: to draft a cornerback. Is that going to be the case. 1083 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 1: It was not going to draft a fullback. I think 1084 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,720 Speaker 1: what I do wonder because we just took a call 1085 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 1: right before the break from Tyler who was saying, you 1086 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,840 Speaker 1: know who would they trade up for? And it makes 1087 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: me think if there is that run on corners and 1088 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 1: they see a gigantic drop off after the fourth or 1089 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,720 Speaker 1: fifth corner on their board to like round three. Remember 1090 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 1: we had Mark Dominic on our podcast Bills by the Numbers. 1091 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 1: He sees a giant drop off on his board after booth. 1092 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 1: He said, after booth, there's a drop off there he goes, 1093 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I feel good about anybody 1094 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 1: until round three. I was like round three, what like, 1095 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,280 Speaker 1: Now that's one guy's opinion, right, um, but that like 1096 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 1: that that sense shutters through my body like we gotta 1097 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,440 Speaker 1: wait till round three now, I hope not. It's interesting too, 1098 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: because at corner you get that kind of drop off. 1099 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 1: At wide out you just get different skill sets. Yeah, 1100 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 1: what type wide receiver do you want? Pick your flavor? 1101 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: They don't they don't drop off, They just change and 1102 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: you can get a lot of production, but you have 1103 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 1: to play the guy in the slot rather than outside 1104 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: or you know that kind of thing. So it's different 1105 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 1: for wide outs. I think more guys can be pushed 1106 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 1: up there just because they have some traits, whereas corner 1107 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. You can either it's either yeah yeah yeah, 1108 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 1: and then it's like, I don't know, it's none of 1109 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 1: that gradient like there is in wide receiver. So Maddie, 1110 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: who was the most let's look at that other position 1111 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: that we think they could gravitate towards. Who was the 1112 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 1: most popular wide receiver mocked to the Bills. So there's 1113 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,480 Speaker 1: like a there needs to be an asterisk next to 1114 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 1: this player's name because the most popular wide receiver was 1115 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 1: Jameson Williams. But he was going off the board in 1116 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: the late first round back in January and February, and 1117 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: then you started to see the videos get posted and 1118 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:35,440 Speaker 1: the updates about he's he's on time. Uh Now, ACL 1119 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 1: injuries are aren't as crazy as they used to be 1120 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 1: because of the technology today, he's going to be ready 1121 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: to go when when we think he's going to be 1122 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 1: ready to go. So now Jameson Williams is not being 1123 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 1: mocked to Buffalo at all. I think the last time 1124 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 1: Jameson Williams was mocked to the Buffalo Bills might have 1125 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: been in March at some point right board past twelve 1126 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 1: or fourteen, maybe a top ten pick. I mean he 1127 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,439 Speaker 1: was projected for those of people who don't keep try today, 1128 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 1: this guy was projected be the maybe a top five pick, 1129 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 1: maybe the first wide receiver taking He's got the best 1130 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver in the draft calls and was injured at 1131 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: the end of the season. So you know that National 1132 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 1: Championship game, right, So, besides Jameson Williams, the second wide 1133 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 1: receiver who's been mocked to the Buffalo Bills the most 1134 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 1: is I believe it's Johan dot Yeah. So Johan Dotson 1135 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 1: and Traylon Burkes are like right there with each other 1136 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: from Arkansas. Yeah. Burks is tricky for me, And there 1137 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 1: seems to be a little bit of a range of 1138 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: opinion on him. Some people think he's dynamic and he's 1139 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 1: going to be unbelievable, and there's other people that say, 1140 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,440 Speaker 1: a lot of contested catches in college. Is he going 1141 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,240 Speaker 1: to be able to get opened in the pros? And 1142 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 1: I was surprised to see the mix of opinion on him. 1143 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 1: Some people see him as an outright world beater and 1144 00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: other people are like, I don't know. So it's going 1145 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,480 Speaker 1: to be very interesting to see where guys like that 1146 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 1: go because as we know, it only takes one team 1147 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 1: to love the guy. And suddenly he's off the board 1148 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 1: at eighteen and was like, how the heck did that happen? 1149 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 1: He went even earlier than we fought, but like a 1150 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 1: team like the Saints could easily take him at eighteen. 1151 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 1: Very true. Treylon Burkes was mocked to the Buffalo Bills 1152 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 1: six times and Johan Dotson was mocked to the Buffalo 1153 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 1: Bills five times. So they're really close to each other 1154 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 1: in the amount of times that people have chosen them 1155 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,320 Speaker 1: to go to Buffalo without twenty fifth overall pick. And 1156 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: if you go back to corners defensive backs, number two 1157 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 1: next to Andrew Booth junior is Trent McDuffie. He's been 1158 01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: mocked to the Buffalo Bills eighteen times now according to 1159 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: the latest ones that I've tracked, right, And that's a 1160 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: guy who was being mocked higher in the draft in 1161 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 1: the early yes, and now he's kind of people are wondering, Oh, 1162 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 1: he might actually be there for the Bills, because I 1163 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 1: think the knock on him is he's not a long 1164 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,960 Speaker 1: athlete and a lot of teams are looking for longer, 1165 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 1: taller corners, which you have a lot of longer, taller 1166 01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,920 Speaker 1: corners that will go early on. That's this is what 1167 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 1: this draft classes. But a lot of people have said, 1168 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: don't knock him because of his length. This is still 1169 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: a really talented defensive He's kind of built like a 1170 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 1: like a Tarren Johnson, Yeah, not like a Levi Wallace 1171 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,720 Speaker 1: who's taller and longer or something like. That's exactly right. 1172 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: But he can play outside, which is saying something no 1173 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 1: when he's not tall or long, and it's not he's 1174 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 1: got short arms, Yeah he does. They're under thirty inches 1175 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 1: long and I and that you can say, and teams 1176 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 1: do this guys with arms that short. It's a very 1177 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 1: short list of guys with those physical traits that have 1178 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 1: had even a moderately successful NFL career. Yeah, but you 1179 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: gotta be careful not to talk yourself out of a 1180 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 1: player that can play like if you think they have 1181 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,919 Speaker 1: the tools. He's a physical corner. Yeah, I mean he hits, 1182 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 1: he supports the run, makes plays on the ball. He 1183 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 1: just doesn't have all the elite measurables. But a kid 1184 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 1: can run. I can look up as He's definitely one 1185 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 1: of my favorites to watch that was one of the 1186 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 1: cornerbacks that if he comes to Buffalo, I would be 1187 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 1: really excited to have him, just because of the skill 1188 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 1: set that he does have, because of what people say 1189 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 1: about him. I think he could fit well here. But 1190 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of corners could fit well here. 1191 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 1: Depending on what type of corner you want to go after, 1192 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 1: there's certainly a good amount that could go in the 1193 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 1: first round that will have an impact on whatever team 1194 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 1: they get drafted by. And then, besides corner and wide receiver, 1195 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,600 Speaker 1: interior offensive line was the number three position for the Bills, 1196 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 1: being mocked to the Bills at number twenty five, and 1197 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 1: the most popular prospect was Zion Johnson being mocked to 1198 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills eight different times. I do think that 1199 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,080 Speaker 1: they should get an interior offensive lineman at some point 1200 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 1: in the draft. I'm just hard. Steve and I were 1201 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,400 Speaker 1: having this discussion earlier this week. It's very hard for 1202 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 1: me to justify it in round one only because you 1203 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 1: have the so called premier positions, you know, quarterback, pass rusher, 1204 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 1: wide receiver, corner, offensive tackle, and I think you should, 1205 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,440 Speaker 1: more often than not, provided the values right on your board, 1206 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 1: gravitate towards those positions at the top of the draft. 1207 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that the 1208 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 1: guard class goes deep into the fifth round. But I 1209 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,640 Speaker 1: think you could get a decent interior offensive lineman somewhere 1210 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,440 Speaker 1: on Day two and still be okay. And so I 1211 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 1: would be apt to try to steer clear of that 1212 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,920 Speaker 1: if possible, especially if there's something better on the board 1213 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 1: at corner or receiver, something like that. And I think 1214 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 1: this is where that whole running back conversation comes in, 1215 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: because I think there are some that believe, well, if 1216 01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 1: the cornerback value stinks and the wide receiver value stinks 1217 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 1: when they're on the board at twenty five, are you 1218 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 1: going to take an interior offensive lineman. Does that guy 1219 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,280 Speaker 1: get you over the hump and win a Super Bowl? 1220 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 1: Or do you take another skill position player in draft 1221 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 1: a running back. I think that's how people are getting 1222 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,360 Speaker 1: to running back in some of the mocks that Maddy's 1223 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 1: been talking. Yeah, the latest mock draft watch that you 1224 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,400 Speaker 1: guys are going to see tomorrow morning. I've tracked the 1225 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 1: bulk of them already yesterday and today. And the new 1226 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 1: hot name for Buffalo is Breece Hall at number twenty five, 1227 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,400 Speaker 1: I've also seen him going to the Buffalo Bills in 1228 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,480 Speaker 1: the second round two with the fifty seventh overall pick. 1229 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:37,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if the last number fifty seven, but yeah, 1230 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 1: he's been the new hot name there at number twenty five. 1231 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 1: Another guy who I've seen pop up that I really 1232 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,560 Speaker 1: haven't seen since January February, DeVante Wyatt, the defensive tackle 1233 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,640 Speaker 1: out of Georgia. Can sign me up for that? Guy 1234 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: like him a lot. He won't be there at twenty five. 1235 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people haven't going to 1236 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers at twenty They need defensive line help badly 1237 01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 1: because they got Tyson Alua Lou's thirty five five, and 1238 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:05,440 Speaker 1: they've got Cameron Hayward who's thirty three, and JJ Watt 1239 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,120 Speaker 1: or not J J Watt t J watt Um he's 1240 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,600 Speaker 1: the only guy under thirty on their starting defensive. They 1241 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 1: need help there bad. This Wyatt is a high motor, 1242 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 1: fast athlete who weighs about three bills and who who 1243 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 1: makes plays everywhere. So and he played on that Georgia 1244 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: front with all of those guys. Guy, but he's yeah, 1245 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I think he's a special talent. 1246 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 1: I will see. I don't think he'll. In fact, I 1247 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,800 Speaker 1: think he'll probably. I think he goes before Davis does. Jordan, 1248 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 1: did you Okay? Yeah, I think he does offer more. Um, 1249 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 1: I think there's no question Jordan Davis is a game 1250 01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: wrecker in the run game. UM. I don't know what 1251 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 1: else he's gonna give you, but well, if you had 1252 01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,480 Speaker 1: a run defense that was ranked like twenty eight or 1253 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 1: twenty nine, draft George, if you're if you do, let's 1254 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 1: it's true. And I'll say this, it's he's Ted Washington 1255 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,360 Speaker 1: type guy. If he's on your team, you're gonna be 1256 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 1: a top five run defense. That's all the risk to it, 1257 01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,480 Speaker 1: because they're just not going to be able to do 1258 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 1: anything but have two guys on him throughout the entire play. 1259 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 1: They won't be able to leave him and they can't move, 1260 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,240 Speaker 1: which means one on ones for everybody else. Everybody's on 1261 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,200 Speaker 1: one on ones and in the NFL, that's all it takes. It. 1262 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,880 Speaker 1: That guy's Ted Washington incarnate and that's a that's a 1263 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 1: pretty good guy to have on your squad. High praise 1264 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 1: for sure. DeVante Wyatt is actually next to Zion Johnson 1265 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: out of the latest mock drafts, also being mocked to 1266 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills eight times, and a bulk of those 1267 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 1: happened early on when the mock drafts first started to 1268 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 1: come out. Another name that I've seen a couple times 1269 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:49,200 Speaker 1: and who we haven't seen a lot of is the 1270 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,000 Speaker 1: linebacker Devin Lloyd out of Utah. He's been mocked to 1271 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:57,120 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills now four different times. Interesting because I think, 1272 01:06:58,240 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, we hear that this time of year is 1273 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 1: called the lying season, and usually that stuff comes from 1274 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: the agent world, and some people are trying to pump 1275 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:12,800 Speaker 1: up medical concerns about some of his injuries, and they're 1276 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,960 Speaker 1: trying somebody is trying to push him down the board. 1277 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 1: Usually it's somebody that also as a linebacker as a 1278 01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,360 Speaker 1: client who wants their guy to be the first linebacker drafted. 1279 01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't know that, but sometimes that's how it works. 1280 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 1: But look, the only people that get fooled by that 1281 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 1: stuff are people in our line of work, the nflgms 1282 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,840 Speaker 1: and the college scouting directors. They do their homework three 1283 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:41,080 Speaker 1: and four times over and even when that stuff surfaces, 1284 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,160 Speaker 1: they have somebody they can allow a phone call to 1285 01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 1: and verify it or invalidate it. So if it's true 1286 01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 1: and there are concerns about his injury to the point 1287 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 1: where some medical staffs for some NFL teams have a 1288 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,320 Speaker 1: problem with it, well, yeah, maybe he does slide, but 1289 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 1: if it's purely a lot of puffin stuff, you know, 1290 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,919 Speaker 1: nobody's buying. We had this, We had this conversation also 1291 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 1: about Devin Lloyd in relationship to Nakobe Dean at the 1292 01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:09,800 Speaker 1: Georgia linebacker Dean being that smart guy, but he's short 1293 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,440 Speaker 1: and slow and light. I mean he's a small guy, 1294 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 1: but he's really smart and he played on a great 1295 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,120 Speaker 1: defense and ran the show. But then you've got this 1296 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 1: guy Devin Lloyd, who has got all of it. I 1297 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: mean he's like a big, strong, fast, physical kind of guy. 1298 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 1: And the balance in an NFL draft. In a college draft, 1299 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: you take Dean, you take Nakobe Dean. In an NFL draft, 1300 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: I think you take Lloyd. Yeah, he'sier, to do it 1301 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: all type of linebacker. He fits in today's NFL defenses 1302 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 1: that you need with the way the league is going, 1303 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,720 Speaker 1: with the way that quarterbacks are throwing the ball and 1304 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,640 Speaker 1: also running the ball, with the type of different wide receivers, 1305 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,680 Speaker 1: you're seeing what tight ends are doing. You need a 1306 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 1: linebacker like Devin Lloyd on your team to be able 1307 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:58,320 Speaker 1: to stop some of those NFL offenses that can get 1308 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,720 Speaker 1: you in several different ways. Yeah, that'll be interesting to see. 1309 01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:04,519 Speaker 1: But there's a ton these mock drafts, and I love 1310 01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 1: how you've compiled all the numbers so you can see 1311 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: how many people think that's going to go. But you 1312 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 1: can still take your pick. I mean, yeah, we've got 1313 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 1: a spreadsheet over here with all the numbers of the 1314 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,120 Speaker 1: different guys the different positions, and then also all the 1315 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,759 Speaker 1: names with the dates starting back in January. The corner 1316 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 1: was the most popular position obviously, was wide receiver second 1317 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,040 Speaker 1: or was it something else? Wide receiver was second. Wide 1318 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 1: receiver was mocked to the Buffalo Bills twenty one times. 1319 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,559 Speaker 1: Interior offensive lineman was next at fifteen times. These are 1320 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:39,760 Speaker 1: updated numbers now, and then next to that, I want 1321 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:44,679 Speaker 1: to say was running back and defensive line where we're 1322 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 1: close with each other. I think this, and we've talked 1323 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,280 Speaker 1: about this on the show. I think the sneaky need 1324 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:55,599 Speaker 1: for Buffalo's linebacker because we don't know what the future 1325 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 1: holds for Tremaine Edmonds, knowing he's entering his fifth year 1326 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: option year here and is scheduled to become a free 1327 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: agent next year. They've got other people whose contracts are 1328 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:09,680 Speaker 1: up to Dawson Knox, Devin Singletary at Oliver has another year, 1329 01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,640 Speaker 1: so they bought some time there after picking up the 1330 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,280 Speaker 1: fifth year option yesterday. So that might help the cause 1331 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:18,000 Speaker 1: and getting Edmonds back in the fold. But if they 1332 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,679 Speaker 1: take a linebacker early, you wonder if it's a sign 1333 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 1: like we better get a guy in the pipeline in 1334 01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 1: case we can't, and there's some really good second round 1335 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: value at linebacker. I'm not saying they're going to go there, 1336 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,200 Speaker 1: but the value might point them in that direction. I'll 1337 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 1: say this. You know this for sure. Of the guys 1338 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 1: on your lists that we've got all the way from 1339 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,600 Speaker 1: all the wide receivers, the corners, the defensive tackles, and 1340 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,720 Speaker 1: the linebackers and the interior offensive lineman, somebody on this 1341 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: list is gonna be a Buffalo Bill. Yeah, yep, that's 1342 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 1: on our team. The name is on this list, that's right, 1343 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:58,639 Speaker 1: Who is it? I have no idea. After one hundred 1344 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,719 Speaker 1: and forty four mocked. I think somebody hit the target 1345 01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 1: right right, and that's but that's where it's not gonna 1346 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,320 Speaker 1: be Jamison Williams though, no, probably not. He's gonna be 1347 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 1: It's probably not gonna be Jordan Davis. No, it's probably 1348 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 1: not gonna be delat Wyatt, right, probably not. If I 1349 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,360 Speaker 1: can think back to last year, we'll all come on 1350 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 1: after the draft and we'll we'll have a fun segment 1351 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,160 Speaker 1: of okay, who was the first person to get it 1352 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,000 Speaker 1: right for Buffalo And thinking back to last year with 1353 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: Greg russo I think one or two people had mocked 1354 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 1: him to the Buffalo Bills in early February, and then 1355 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 1: we really didn't see much of Greg Russeau until we 1356 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 1: hit April, and then he was not a popular name. 1357 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 1: He wasn't as popular as Andrew Booth Junior is right 1358 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 1: now to the Bills. But we did see his name 1359 01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,600 Speaker 1: pop up a bit, all right, So you got you 1360 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 1: had one guy this Andrew Booth was like over twenty times, 1361 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,360 Speaker 1: and you had McDuffie's seventeen. Then everybody else was right 1362 01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,559 Speaker 1: around ten. The high ones were like right around ten. Yeah, 1363 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:02,640 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams Ingle digits and it was Kyler Gordon is 1364 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 1: now offensive line. The dbs and corners were off the charts. 1365 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 1: The first and then wide receivers, So if you're gonna 1366 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: do it that way, it's gonna be a dB or 1367 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:17,240 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Who's it going to be. We should remind 1368 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:21,599 Speaker 1: everybody that Maddie and myself will be doing our live 1369 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 1: reaction draft stream on draft night night one and on 1370 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 1: night two as well. We'll be streaming those on the 1371 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 1: Bills Facebook page, the YouTube channel on Twitter. So right 1372 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 1: after the Bills pick is made on night one, Maddie 1373 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,519 Speaker 1: and I'll jump on and give you instant reaction, and 1374 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 1: if Brandon Bean addresses the media, we'll carry that as well. 1375 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: We'll do the same thing for the day two picks, 1376 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,960 Speaker 1: in round two and round three. After Kyle Brand does 1377 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,400 Speaker 1: god knows what in announcing the Bills pick at eighty nine, 1378 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be exciting whatever he does. And then we'll 1379 01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,000 Speaker 1: also have Greg Kostel will join us after the picks two, 1380 01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,840 Speaker 1: So it'll be awesome to have Greg cost Silva NFL 1381 01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: Films on with us because we know he knows these 1382 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:09,000 Speaker 1: prospects unlike a lot of people out there. That's true too, 1383 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,320 Speaker 1: there's some of these things we haven't really talked about. 1384 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,920 Speaker 1: A guy like Daxton Hill, who's a defensive back, who's safety, 1385 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,559 Speaker 1: who's He's been a popular name for the Bills too. Yeah, 1386 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 1: he's a dark horse because if you're gonna draft depth, 1387 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,720 Speaker 1: depth means not only depth, it also means versatility. Like 1388 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 1: an offensive line that can play guard or tackle. Daxton 1389 01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,680 Speaker 1: Hill could play corner and safety or nickel. And he's 1390 01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,639 Speaker 1: a writer nickel. He's an athlete, kind of a hybrid 1391 01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 1: athletic guy who could play a couple of different spots. 1392 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 1: So if you're doing it for depth, even in the 1393 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:43,280 Speaker 1: first round, man, that guy, that guy really smells like 1394 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 1: a team. That guy's he got a spot he can 1395 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 1: scoot to him. He's been six times, he's been mocked 1396 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo at number twenty five. Mel Kiper had him there 1397 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 1: in his latest mock draft. He thinks he's fit for them. Yep. 1398 01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,800 Speaker 1: He's certainly versatile. I don't think there's any question r 1399 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,639 Speaker 1: And we know that this team likes position flexibility on offense. 1400 01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 1: I'm sure they like it on defense too. Yeah, and 1401 01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 1: it's and for all that we've talked about and the 1402 01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:13,960 Speaker 1: lack of weakness on the roster, certainly, I mean, and 1403 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 1: here's the here's what we don't know, how the board 1404 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: falls up to twenty through twenty four picks and how 1405 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,760 Speaker 1: those picks affect what the Bills think. Who's there and who? 1406 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,719 Speaker 1: Who really is there? Who has fallen through the cracks 1407 01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 1: at dB, who has fallen through the cracks at defensive line, 1408 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:34,320 Speaker 1: at offensive line, a wide receiver? Who's who's dropped? And 1409 01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,400 Speaker 1: is that one of the guys? They like that? I mean, 1410 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,640 Speaker 1: that's that's what we don't know. Yeah, that's what we 1411 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:40,799 Speaker 1: don't know, Maddie. Thanks for putting all of that together. 1412 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:45,360 Speaker 1: We know it's tedious.

On Draft nights 1439 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 1: one and two, we will take a break, Steve and 1440 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 1: I back with more, including a very necessary commentary on 1441 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,920 Speaker 1: the state of defense in the PAC twelve conference. We 1442 01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 1: will get to that when we return here on one 1443 01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,719 Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 1444 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 1: All right, As we mentioned before the break, I feel 1445 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:43,160 Speaker 1: compelled to address this. Okay, the Pac twelve conference has 1446 01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:46,639 Speaker 1: hit an all time low in defensive football. I think 1447 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,439 Speaker 1: there is a general belief that defensive football is lacking 1448 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve as a whole. There are a 1449 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 1: couple of exceptions, but in general, the Pac twelve is 1450 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,479 Speaker 1: not known for defensive football. And I meant to ask 1451 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,600 Speaker 1: Brandon being this on the show yesterday in terms of 1452 01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: how much more challenging does it make the evals on 1453 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,960 Speaker 1: offensive players when the defensive play in their conference is 1454 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:13,240 Speaker 1: just subpar? How do you weigh that when you're evaluating 1455 01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:17,519 Speaker 1: a prospect. But in any event, I'm watching some film 1456 01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 1: yesterday and today of UCLA tight end Greg Dulcitch, maybe 1457 01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 1: the best run after catch tight end in the class 1458 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 1: this year, and I see clips of three blown coverages 1459 01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:35,360 Speaker 1: in a row. Then there are times where the defense 1460 01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:41,919 Speaker 1: simply forgets about him. It's uncanny. Steve Dulcitch is catching 1461 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 1: the ball. He's the only guy in the camera shot. Yeah, 1462 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 1: like on a field with twenty two moving players, he 1463 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,719 Speaker 1: is all by himself with nothing but green grass around 1464 01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:59,040 Speaker 1: him yards in any direction. We did this. We talked 1465 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 1: about this earlier. I'm sitting at my desk, Brownie's over 1466 01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,479 Speaker 1: there yelling at his computer. I'm like, what do you 1467 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 1: what's the problem? He could look at that and I 1468 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,680 Speaker 1: go over there, and sure enough, this guy's running right. 1469 01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 1: It's a nice tight end, has some nice highlights, and 1470 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, not all of them are like this, but 1471 01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,600 Speaker 1: every once in a while he's like he's on a 1472 01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 1: green screening. Here's the thing. It's not like this guy is, 1473 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, some sixth round or a priority free agent. 1474 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 1: This guy was the leading He's a tight end. He 1475 01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,640 Speaker 1: was the leading receiver on UCLA's roster. This he had 1476 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:32,479 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred yards receiving and like eight touchdowns. How do 1477 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,680 Speaker 1: you forget about that guy in the UCLA offense? Now? Look, 1478 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 1: I'll be the first to say I don't catch a 1479 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,920 Speaker 1: lot of Pac twelve football. It's on too late on Saturday, 1480 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,000 Speaker 1: and as you know, we work long days on Sundays 1481 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:48,040 Speaker 1: in the fall. But the more I've watched film on 1482 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: offensive prospects from the Pac twelve, the more I am 1483 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:56,160 Speaker 1: seeing just how bad it has gotten out there. Now, 1484 01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean there aren't good individual defensive prospects in 1485 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,320 Speaker 1: this year's draft class from the PAC twelve. There absolutely 1486 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: Ourcavon Thibadeau is the you know he's gonna go on 1487 01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:11,280 Speaker 1: the top five. I was just amazed at the last. 1488 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:14,480 Speaker 1: Do you have a theory on why the defensive cohesion 1489 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,519 Speaker 1: as a unit by a lot of those teams, the 1490 01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: blown assignments, the poor technique. I mean, I'm not even 1491 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,080 Speaker 1: a trained eye, Steve, you know, like the pro scouts are, 1492 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,160 Speaker 1: But it doesn't take a pro scout to realize, yeah, 1493 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:29,599 Speaker 1: there is no consistent defense of any kind as a unit. 1494 01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:33,080 Speaker 1: That's interestingable because you can you can you can sit 1495 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:35,240 Speaker 1: here and wax philosophic about what the reasons are, and 1496 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 1: I can't begin to It's a complex issue because it 1497 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,960 Speaker 1: goes It's like not just like one team, it's like 1498 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,920 Speaker 1: the whole the whole roster of schools. You show up 1499 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:49,760 Speaker 1: and they got there. They're getting hung, they're getting a 1500 01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,080 Speaker 1: rung up every weekend. And I don't know whether it's 1501 01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,240 Speaker 1: like all the really good athletes want to carry the 1502 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 1: ball and the guys that play defense or the leftovers athletically, 1503 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,200 Speaker 1: But you're right, I mean you like, it's blown coverage. 1504 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: It's blown coverage. But then there's a guy he just 1505 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:10,799 Speaker 1: can't stay with a guy's Power five conference football. I'm 1506 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,599 Speaker 1: with you, there's there really does seem to be this. 1507 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,160 Speaker 1: And I always heard it when we were growing up too, 1508 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:18,720 Speaker 1: when I was coming up through the ranks as well, 1509 01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,200 Speaker 1: Like you know Pac twelve against you know Big ten, 1510 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,400 Speaker 1: the Big ten was three yards in a cloud. It 1511 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 1: usn't there's some truth to it. But now that's all 1512 01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 1: the Pac twelve is now just air it out there. 1513 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,360 Speaker 1: They are offensive linemen coming into the league now, and 1514 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,920 Speaker 1: not only at Pac twelve, but they've never had their 1515 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:41,040 Speaker 1: hand on the ground, you know what I mean. They're 1516 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:45,080 Speaker 1: in a two point stance as a guard all the 1517 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,000 Speaker 1: time because they're doing nothing but pass protecting. There's no 1518 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 1: run games. It's all throwing. And when you do that, 1519 01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,519 Speaker 1: it's just you know, they lack of physicality and they 1520 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:57,439 Speaker 1: lack they just don't learn certain things. So here and 1521 01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:58,639 Speaker 1: and I don't want to say this is a bad 1522 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,439 Speaker 1: coaching because they don't play defense, but what coaches do 1523 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 1: learn is listen, this is what our guys do. We're 1524 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,680 Speaker 1: gonna do it. We're gonna do what we do best offensively. 1525 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 1: And they never ask these guys to do that, and 1526 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,880 Speaker 1: it's the same, got to be the same. Defensively, we 1527 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,719 Speaker 1: can't ask our guys to play man to man because 1528 01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 1: they just can't hang in there with these guys. Or 1529 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,600 Speaker 1: if they do play man to man, they got just 1530 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:23,400 Speaker 1: getting rung up. And I always make the joke about 1531 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,760 Speaker 1: the talented players, you know, like a Jamison Williams or 1532 01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:29,240 Speaker 1: who you know, all the guys in the top of 1533 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 1: this draft and every draft. You know, every other week 1534 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 1: they're playing against a dental student or an accounting students here, 1535 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,920 Speaker 1: and that you know, they take advantage. Here's the problem 1536 01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 1: with how bad, But that's not what this is. No, 1537 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,320 Speaker 1: And here's the problem with how bad the defense is 1538 01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve. It's gonna be harder and harder 1539 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,200 Speaker 1: for coaches to make it better because with the transfer 1540 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 1: portal rules, now you're I mean, you got guys coming 1541 01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 1: in and going out. It's a revolving door. Forget about 1542 01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 1: the guys that leave early for the draft. Now you 1543 01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 1: got guys leaving because they didn't like what you told 1544 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,400 Speaker 1: him in practice last week. Right, And I'm out of here, 1545 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm going in the transfer report. I'm gonna go play 1546 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 1: somewhere else. And then you got to recruit twelve new guys. Yeah, 1547 01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,719 Speaker 1: it's I'll say this though, I don't think football lends 1548 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 1: itself to that kind of switching up the way basketball 1549 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,640 Speaker 1: does well. Yeah, because you only got five guys on 1550 01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:27,040 Speaker 1: the floor. Yeah, it's not as complicated, um, even at 1551 01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:31,599 Speaker 1: the high levels. So you I don't think that's gonna 1552 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 1: like decimate rosters the way it has in the past. 1553 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:38,000 Speaker 1: It will because here's the thing it will impacts though, 1554 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 1: the guys that are playing don't transfer. The guys that 1555 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:43,840 Speaker 1: are playing don't trans at least in football at this 1556 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,679 Speaker 1: current point in history. It's not as common. If you're 1557 01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:48,559 Speaker 1: not playing, that's when you get out. That's when these 1558 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 1: guys go to like I'm going to leave in Georgia 1559 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go to UCF or I'm gonna go 1560 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,080 Speaker 1: to Old miss or I'm gonna go to someplace where 1561 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,439 Speaker 1: I can get on the field. Right. That's the thing 1562 01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 1: now with football players. Then you get guys Georgia who, 1563 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,080 Speaker 1: if they're willing to sit there, they'll wait their turn 1564 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:05,720 Speaker 1: and get on their senior year and then take their 1565 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 1: chances in the draft. And a lot of these guys 1566 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 1: are really looking good doing it. There is some news 1567 01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:17,960 Speaker 1: regarding the draft and trade possibilities. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is saying, 1568 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 1: as far as the trade front goes, the Giants at 1569 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 1: pick seven, that's the second of their two picks. They're 1570 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 1: at five and seven. The Giants at seven have received 1571 01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:29,479 Speaker 1: calls from teams about potentially trading into that spot, and 1572 01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:33,080 Speaker 1: the Seahawks at number nine have had some preliminary interest 1573 01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:37,879 Speaker 1: in their pick, but the general consensus from many teams 1574 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:43,360 Speaker 1: is they expect movement to occur after the top ten. 1575 01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 1: The eleven to fourteen range is anticipated to be the 1576 01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:52,679 Speaker 1: sweet spot. Yeah, we've suspected that less of a premium 1577 01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 1: to get there. You're gonna have teams they'll say, listen, well, 1578 01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,680 Speaker 1: because yet the Jets have two picks. The Giants have 1579 01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:03,120 Speaker 1: two picks. If they really want a top ten, yeah 1580 01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:04,920 Speaker 1: they can. If they really want a guy, they're gonna 1581 01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:07,240 Speaker 1: get him. And chances are the guys they want or 1582 01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,320 Speaker 1: the guys everybody else wants to and nobody wants to. 1583 01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,719 Speaker 1: You know. Now, if if it gets by the Jets 1584 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 1: first pick, and then the Giants first pick, that pick 1585 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,360 Speaker 1: number six, which is behind both of those first two 1586 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 1: picks of the Giants and Jets. Then you think and say, Okay, 1587 01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:21,920 Speaker 1: we got a chance to get up to that, but 1588 01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna be from somebody who's got like the tenth pick, 1589 01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:29,799 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, because it's it's big time. You cannot 1590 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 1: get from Buffalo's twenty five to number six and justify everything. 1591 01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:37,120 Speaker 1: You have to get your whole draft up and the 1592 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:38,640 Speaker 1: general and you're not going to do that. Yeah, And 1593 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:43,000 Speaker 1: the general feeling is with this draft lacking true elite players, 1594 01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 1: there's no need to go up there. That's why this 1595 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:50,040 Speaker 1: eleven to fourteen range is suddenly attractive, because now you 1596 01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:51,840 Speaker 1: can get a player that might be as good as 1597 01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 1: some of those guys taken in the top ten because 1598 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:55,760 Speaker 1: there are no true elites, and you can get him 1599 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 1: at a lower cost in terms of the capital you 1600 01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 1: gotta give up to get up there. You missed guy 1601 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,080 Speaker 1: in the top ten, the guy you get at twenty five, 1602 01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna give you a lot closer to what that 1603 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,719 Speaker 1: top ten guy is than other drafts in the past, 1604 01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:12,320 Speaker 1: or it's not going to be that big a discrepancy 1605 01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,000 Speaker 1: between a top ten player in this draft and a 1606 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,679 Speaker 1: mid twenties player in this draft at the same position. 1607 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 1: That's the thought process. And we're talking about here. Be 1608 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,360 Speaker 1: interesting to see what Houston does. They have picks three 1609 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:28,559 Speaker 1: and thirteen, so their second pick is in that sweet 1610 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 1: spot range. Do they make their pick at three if 1611 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,479 Speaker 1: they can get one of the top three pass rushers 1612 01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:37,479 Speaker 1: conceivably otherwise they get the best tackle in the draft. 1613 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,280 Speaker 1: And then at thirteen, does somebody make an offer to 1614 01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 1: them where they say, you know what, I'm gonna take 1615 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,080 Speaker 1: that give me the extra draft capital, right, And what's 1616 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,840 Speaker 1: it gonna be. It's gonna be two twos or a tour? 1617 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,479 Speaker 1: Is it gonna be a one and a three? Right? 1618 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 1: A twenty five and a two or one and a 1619 01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:56,559 Speaker 1: two for that thirteenth pick. I kind of doubt that. 1620 01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 1: That's a lot of I think a team that's moving 1621 01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,920 Speaker 1: up to thirteen is someone that's somewhere between sixteen and twenty, 1622 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:04,639 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you flip those picks 1623 01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,720 Speaker 1: and you threw in what three three? This year's three. 1624 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:09,920 Speaker 1: It's got to be this year's three. If you're Houston, 1625 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna take next year's three. You want to want? 1626 01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,800 Speaker 1: I got it, need it now? Yeah? Yeah? Right? But 1627 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,799 Speaker 1: so that's a lot of that's a lot of draft capital. 1628 01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:22,080 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some boards where some guys 1629 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: that were on their board in the top ten don't 1630 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,599 Speaker 1: go in the top ten, and they're suddenly like, oh 1631 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 1: my god, there's a top ten guy there. I'm gonna 1632 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:30,040 Speaker 1: go get him, you know, when they move up to 1633 01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 1: somewhere between eleven and fourteen. To do it. We could 1634 01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 1: talk around and around and around about it, which is 1635 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,519 Speaker 1: what makes the draft some right. We gotta take a break, though, 1636 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:41,679 Speaker 1: Steve and I to close things up when we return 1637 01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,519 Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Allot of Health. 1638 01:26:43,560 --> 01:27:00,519 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back, It's One 1639 01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 1: Bills Live. And tomorrow, at this time, Steve, we will 1640 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,640 Speaker 1: be a mere five hours away from the opening of 1641 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:13,559 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two NFL drafts. Just the just the 1642 01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,479 Speaker 1: beautiful music of the Booze as Roger goes up to 1643 01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,599 Speaker 1: the mic. Just even the Vegas people are gonna boo him. 1644 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,160 Speaker 1: They got no reason to boo him. They're gonna boo 1645 01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:25,960 Speaker 1: him just I think he's gonna sense of normalcy. He'll smile. 1646 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 1: The draft was in Cleveland last year, and that was 1647 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:34,679 Speaker 1: a little dicey with the weather. Yeah, and the stage, 1648 01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,599 Speaker 1: which you had a major issue with because, oh my god, 1649 01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:39,639 Speaker 1: the poor players had to walk about a quarter mile 1650 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,600 Speaker 1: just to get up to the podium. Took forever for 1651 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,640 Speaker 1: those guys. The next pick was already in by the 1652 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,280 Speaker 1: time the guy was getting his jersey and taking photos 1653 01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:48,240 Speaker 1: with the commissioner. The team was running with their pick 1654 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:49,639 Speaker 1: up to the thing because it took him so long 1655 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,360 Speaker 1: to get up there. Come. I wonder how much tighter 1656 01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 1: security is going to be this year. You remember that 1657 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 1: Browns fan that got up on the catwalk last year? Oh, 1658 01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,599 Speaker 1: I don't remember. Random dude. What did he have? Did 1659 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,320 Speaker 1: he have a banjo? What did he have with him? 1660 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,240 Speaker 1: He had some kind of I'm trying to I can't 1661 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,000 Speaker 1: remember now why he did he have with him up there? 1662 01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 1: I think it was right when a machine gun. Kelly 1663 01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:15,840 Speaker 1: was was addressing the crowd because he's a Browns fan, right, 1664 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:17,880 Speaker 1: and so he was talking about the Browns going to 1665 01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and I can't remember if he announced 1666 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,200 Speaker 1: a pick or something. And as he's walking off, there's 1667 01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,439 Speaker 1: this random dude up on the stage who is not 1668 01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 1: part of the event at all. He hopped up on there, 1669 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:33,640 Speaker 1: and security didn't didn't get him for a while. It 1670 01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,120 Speaker 1: somebody's got to help me with that. Yeah, they listen. 1671 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,320 Speaker 1: The league does nothing, but if it doesn't learn from 1672 01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,960 Speaker 1: its mistakes, that's a mistake that won't happen. You got 1673 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,040 Speaker 1: to know that the casinos know what security's all about. 1674 01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:49,040 Speaker 1: They'll they'll oh yeah, they'll guy, I'll be in the fountain.
