Speaker 1: At a stove Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player. Steve a blimp.

00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. Like I've been saying, we've been holding down

7
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: the fort all week. Brownie is out. He'll be back

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: next week. But for today and tomorrow, you've got me

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: and Steve. I was thinking, you know, we should do

10
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: the show today from the parking lot and you know,

11
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: blow up a pool, um, get some drinks, sit back, relax,

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: talk some football. But you should have gotten out on

13
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: the press. They weren't buying my idea. We sure have

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: a practice field in the grass. It's cool day, it's

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: beautiful out. Some tanny, what are we doing it? It

16
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: looks great to at Hamark Stadium over there. We actually

17
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: have a lot to do today. But still we have

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: some things to talk about, some things to discuss. Yeah,

19
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people are out on the

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: golf course today, and rightfully so, I'm so jealous of

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: all of you who are getting some swings or like

22
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: I would say, some hacks in because my swings are

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: are never that great. Um, it goes straight. It is

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: a golf day. It's screams to get You didn't golf

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: this morning, though, did you know? I didn't? I did yesterday,

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: but I today. It's one of those days where you

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: kind of find an excuse to get It feels good

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: to get out and you almost slip out of the office.

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: It's one of those days almost for a minute, forget

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: about the pandemic. Oh you know what I mean, that's

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: so true. Were you like, Okay, what am I gonna do?

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: You know? Then you know, we get out and you think,

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I gotta oh gosh, I gotta grab a

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: mask and I gotta you know, it's almost that nice out.

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: It feels so good. It's good to be back in

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: that saddle again where you can kind of just head

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: out the door not worry about, Okay, what jacket might take?

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: Do I need do I need you know, big shoes,

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: you know, like weather shoes, or can I wear Tenny

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: runners or something, sneakers or whatever. So we're in that

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: part of the year though, where it's like warm during

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: the day, or it gets like hot during the day

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: and then in the morning it's cold, and at night

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: it gets cold. So you're wearing like three different outfits

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: throughout the day. I'm not a fan of that. I

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: just like hot all the time. See. I like it

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: when you can get like in the daytime, you you know, shorts,

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: flip flops or whatever, golf and shorts, you know, and

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: just a shirt and that kind of I love that

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: kind of thing with sunglasses in the day and then

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: at night. I like it when you you know, you

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: can put an extra layer on it, put a little

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: jacket on fashion, you know, because if you're always wearing this,

54
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: you know how many golf shirts can you got? You

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: know how many? Right? Just the same outfit the whole time.

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: But when you start to get into cool of the evening,

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: a sweater, a little bomber jack, bomber jacket, the old

Speaker 1: up in your attic that I believe you have clothes upon.

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,440

00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: it from a store, pop it out, pop it up.

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: Then we're chilling. But anyways, we're here, we're talking some football.

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: We won't spend the whole show talking about weather and

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: golf and how we wish we were outside because we

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: are equally as excited to be talking about some Buffalo

81
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: Bills football. And we've got a Twitter poll out today

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: and the question that we're peppering you with is other

83
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: than the quarterback? What position should be off the table

84
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: for the Bills at pick number thirty. What position would

85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: you be like pissed if we drafted at number thirty?

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: Is it we gave you some options? Is it wide receiver,

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: running back, safety, linebacker? And you think there could be

88
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: a really great wide receiver that drops to us at

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: number thirty or really great running back? Would you be

90
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: mad if we drafted a really great wide receiver at

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: number thirty? So we want to know your thoughts. Make

92
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: sure you get to Twitter, check out One Bill Live

93
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: because that's where we've got the poll going on, or

94
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: you can call in eight oh three oh five fifty.

95
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Also want to let you know that we've got a

96
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: couple of guests on today. Shiel Kapati will join us

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: at one o'clock. He is the athletic NFL Rider. This

98
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: guy writes some awesome articles, so we'll break down one

99
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: of his most recent articles that he has out. And

100
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: then at two o'clock, our friend Thad Brown is going

101
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: to join us. W ROC TV Sports director, the Bills

102
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: preseason TIS TV sideline reporter. He's covered the Bill since

103
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: two thousands, so this guy has got a good pulse

104
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: on what the Buffalo Bills are doing, on his thoughts

105
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: about the upcoming season, what they should do in the draft,

106
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: what they did in free agency. We'll talk about all

107
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: of that. So another wonderful show here this week on

108
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. But we'll go back to the Twitter question,

109
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: what position do you think should be off the table

110
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: for the Bills? I think I think this question could

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: be debated either way. I think you can make a

112
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: case for why it would be good to draft a

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver at number thirty or why it would be

114
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: terrible to draft a wide receiver at number thirty. So

115
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: I liked this question because I can be convinced either way.

116
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: Probably Well, yeah, I mean, I see the we took

117
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: quarterback off because you know they're not going to draft

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: a quarterback at number thirty here in Buffalo. I mean,

119
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: that's off the table, you know. And I said this,

120
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: and you because I told you, you know the other position.

121
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: And I'd love to hear from Bill's fans about this.

122
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I said one other position that I would not in

123
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: this draft. There's no way at any round, at any

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: even at number seven, not even happening seventh round, or

125
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: we don't have a seventh round, six right last pick

126
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: of the draft, mister irrelevant. You know who they're not

127
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: going to pick the other position, placekicker. You're right, they

128
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not used to draft pick on that.

129
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: There ain't nobody in there there's gonna beat our guy

130
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: picking bass right one hundred and sixty one points. He

131
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: did a great Yeah, he was great. So I'm thinking,

132
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, as much as we love Josh and take

133
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: that position off the field, Tyler bast did the same

134
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: thing at place kicker. I love that kid. He's my guy.

135
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: So I coming out of nowhere was the fact that

136
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they're even gonna throw in a place kicker,

137
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: right punter, you could see now yeah right, yeah, I

138
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I just um a ton of I hadn't

139
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: thought about it until we started going down and started

140
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: kicking off the you know the who they're gonna draft him,

141
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: and you know it's not gonna be a long snapper

142
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: either probably or place kicker. I don't know if a

143
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: long snapper's ever got drafted, And I wonder how what

144
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: the earliest round along snapper has been. Never Now, there's

145
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: been guys who can long snap who've been drafted another

146
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: positions like Bruce Matthews Hall of Fame guard, offensive linement, guard, tackle, center.

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: He made the Pro Bowl at five at all five positions,

148
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: absolutely first ballot, Rubber Stamp Hall of Famer. He could

149
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: long snap great and I caught long snaps from him

150
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: when I was a rookie Houston m Guys like that

151
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: have been drafted, but that you know, he was a

152
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: first round offensive lineman who also could long snap snap.

153
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you that, you know, you think about it,

154
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of funny. You take your starting quarterback, You're

155
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: not going to draft a guy to replace him at

156
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: number thirty, and I'm telling you you ain't drafting anybody.

157
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Ain't drafting anybody to replace Tyler Bass either. As coming

158
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: off his rookie season season, he really did. He got off.

159
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: He had that the two games he struggled in were

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: like early on. He had one where he was one

161
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: for two or missed a field goal or two field

162
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: goals in a game that uh the Bill the Bills won.

163
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: And then he had the game where he was six

164
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: of eight in New York against the Jets, tied the record,

165
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: tied the record and had a chance to like set

166
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: it put it out there, um and didn't obviously, but

167
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: was six of eight and he were like, oh, that's

168
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: only seven. You know, it's not quite enough. But they,

169
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, the team won the game, so all that

170
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of stuff gets walk by. And then after that

171
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: you go to Arizona in a game the Bills lost,

172
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: and he nailed three from fifty plus in the first

173
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: half to keep him in that game. So that's where

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: that's the game. As long as field goal came from, Yeah, yep,

175
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: and he's money. It was great. So interesting enough for

176
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: us sitting here you think, Okay, they're not there's no

177
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: way they're gonna, you know, talk about you know, drafting

178
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: a drafting a quarterback. Of course not. He got Josh

179
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Allens in the MVP running at the most important quarter.

180
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: But then also it's like, hey, we got this kid

181
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: Tyler bad. We ain't replacing him either. Now they'll bring

182
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: in a guy, a kicker of somebody to compete. You

183
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: got to bring in some competition. Sean McDermott will not

184
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: let even a kid like bass coast through a training cap.

185
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, he's pretty he's pretty dialed in.

186
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: He's training. Yeah, I remember watching him in training camp

187
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: last year um and just thinking, I mean, he's known

188
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: for the length that he can the football, but just

189
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: seeing it in person, I was like, Wow, this is special.

190
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: This kid is good. And he was. He was hitting

191
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: some far stuff as we were tracking during the camp

192
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: and seeing how far he could make it. And then

193
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: he gets into the season and in Week one he

194
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: was two of four and then the next game, Week two,

195
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, he made his only field goal attempt

196
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: of that game. But I remember it was kind of

197
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: off to like a all our guy. You made two

198
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: of four against the Jets in that week one game

199
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: he had some people were kind of doubting what he

200
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: would maybe be able to do his rookie season. But

201
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: again Sean McDermott stood by him, which this coaching staff

202
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: does with their guys. Even when they struggle or go

203
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: through a down game or something like that, the coaching

204
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: staff is going to be right there by them to

205
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: pick them up and to let them know that, Hey,

206
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: we believe in you. You're on this roster for a reason.

207
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: You beat out a vet for a reason. But if

208
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: you were going to answer this question, how would you

209
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: answer it? Oh, they're going to quarterback. What positions should

210
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: be off the table for the Bills to pick a

211
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: number thirty. We've got some feedback already on the tweet

212
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official

213
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: equipment movers of the Buffalo Bills. People are all over

214
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: this and right off the top, we get it one

215
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: from Parker who's got a really good take on it,

216
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: and he says, listen, any position with established starters like

217
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: safety should be off the table. The goal is a

218
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl this year, so our first round pick needs

219
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: to make an impact this year. This season, barring an injury,

220
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: even a really good rookie safety won't ever see the

221
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: field over poilie or hide. And he's right, Dean Marlowe.

222
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: We lost him this morning, it was announced and made official.

223
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: Went to the Lion. So that's some depth that's gone.

224
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: But you're right, he You know Parker's right, and I

225
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: think all of us are sitting here going, Okay, where

226
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: do we need it? Certainly, maybe you can see a

227
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: corner drafting a corner at third. They'll get on the field.

228
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: They got a chance to compete with Levi Wallace. Everybody's

229
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: been competing with Levi Wallace and not everybody. Nobody can get.

230
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: Nobody nobody can get, So okay, good luck. If you

231
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: want to make an impact, there's your chance. Uh defensive line, Yeah,

232
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: we want a pass rusher. We're drafting thirtieth. If a

233
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: guy can rush the passer, he ain't gonna last till thirtieth.

234
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: But you know, take a swing, and this draft class

235
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: is not They don't have that much depth in your

236
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: edge rushers, which is the case for a lot of

237
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: draft classes. Those usually go within the first fifteen. We're

238
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: gonna get into your We've been for those of you

239
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: have been listened regularly. Maddie does this draft mock watch,

240
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: and we're getting to seven point zero today, right, seven

241
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: point seven times. She's scoured through like what like six

242
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: dozen Oh no, we are ninety one mock drafts. I

243
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: have gone through one, all right. So she's got all

244
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: those mock drafts and kept tabs on what people are

245
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: saying the bills are gonna get at thirty. So we're

246
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: gonna do that again today when we get to it.

247
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: And there's a couple of names on this list that

248
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about. And we went back and I

249
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: started watching them and surprisingly enough to me. I could

250
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: on the limited film that I watched on them, there's

251
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: one of them that I really like, one of them

252
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: that I'm like, okay, and the other one's like, I

253
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: don't think so. Right, So we'll get into that about

254
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: the you know, the mock drafts, and these are all

255
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: defensive linemen today, right, we're going to talk about defensive lines.

256
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: So we got a tackle and two edge rushers that

257
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about today. One of them I

258
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: really like, one of them I'm okay with, and the

259
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: other one I'm like, there's a better option somewhere, even

260
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: in another position. So we'll talk about all of that

261
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: as we go on as well. But lots going on.

262
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we're having this conversation before we

263
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: come on the air about you know who. I can't

264
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: get around the fact that we're talking about this stuff

265
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: two weeks away from the NFL Draft, and we've got

266
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: fans tweeting at us who are like all in. They like,

267
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: they know names, they know, they know highlights. They go,

268
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: this guy's the guy, that guy's not the guy. It's

269
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: amazing the interest that is there even for a team,

270
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: or I guess for a team like Buffalo, you think

271
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: the interest is high, but people go deep into the

272
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: weeds about who they think they should take. And I

273
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: love it. You can put a name out there, maybe

274
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: some of the guys that we highlight today, it's we

275
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: could get a couple of tweets from people saying, yeah,

276
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm all on board with this player too, or I

277
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: was looking at a mock draft and then watching some

278
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: video of this prospect and I fell in love with

279
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: him too. And that's what I love about this fan

280
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: base is they are so into everything. It doesn't matter

281
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: if it's during the season or out of the season,

282
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: they are still paying attention. They want to know what's

283
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: going on. They have their own opinions. They have good opinions,

284
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: So I love listening to what they have to say,

285
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: seeing what they have to say on Twitter. But when

286
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Parker says, you know, positions that have established starters should

287
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: be off the table, like safety, I get that. But

288
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: what if a great safety falls to you at number

289
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: thirty do you then take the safety? And my mind

290
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: is here we I was watching Good Morning Football this morning,

291
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: which I do pretty much every morning, and the guys

292
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: were on, you know, Kyle Kay, Peter Schrager. Nate Burlison

293
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: was out, they had someone in for him. I can't

294
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: remember who it was, but anyways, they were talking about

295
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and they were talking about the Dallas

296
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys and how Jerry Jones will He loves his offense,

297
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: he loves the flashiness, the firepower, loves to score points,

298
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: but needs some defensive players this Year's what they were saying.

299
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: And they said this was the case last year. But

300
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: then the Cowboys get on the clock and they draft

301
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb because Ceedee Lamb felled to them. A good selection,

302
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: will probably have a pretty good NFL career, but they

303
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: needed defense more, and so they we're arguing on Good

304
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: Morning Football, if someone like Kyle Pitts falls to the

305
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, or if a really good wide receiver falls

306
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys, is Jerry gonna pick a offensive,

307
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: firepower guy who can help score points or is he

308
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna do what the Dallas Cowboys need this year, which

309
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: is defense. And Dallas has the tenth overall pick, so

310
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: you could get a pretty good offensive player or a

311
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: really good offensive lineman falling to you at ten, But

312
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: if your need really there is defense. What are you

313
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: going to do, and that could happen to the Buffalo

314
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Bills at number thirty. It's not gonna be the star

315
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: studded prospect at number thirty that it would be at

316
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: number ten falling to you. But there could be a

317
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: really decent wide receiver, or a really great running back,

318
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: or a really great position that we don't need that

319
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: falls to at number thirty. What is Brandon being going

320
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: to do? Right? We've had and I know all draft

321
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: boards look different with every team and every organization rights

322
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: it's impossible to tell. But we also have been down

323
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: that road where we've been in the weeds about whether

324
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: they trade up or trade down. We had our Twitter

325
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: poll yesterday, how what's the best move that they need

326
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: to make from here forward given everything that they have

327
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: done so far. You know, and you think, you know,

328
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: draft for a guy, draft a guy, trade at for

329
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: a guy, sign a free agent, do something, and I

330
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: get all of that, but I think the Bills now

331
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: are practicing what's the most difficult practicing the most difficult

332
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: thing for most teams to do. And you alluded to

333
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: it with Dallas and Jerry Jones. You got to be patient,

334
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: and I think the guys that are on the street

335
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: now is free agent. There's some guys out there that

336
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: can really play. We got it Richard Sherman. I'll say this,

337
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, he's got some football left in him. Maybe

338
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: not a ton, maybe just one year or maybe five games.

339
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know this too. That guy's

340
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: got something to offer off the field that will really

341
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: help any football team that he signed with Buffalo included.

342
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: The guy is smart and he made the joke yesterday

343
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: I read about. He was on a podcast yesterday with

344
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: Tredevious White and he said, listen, I'm I ain't signing anyway.

345
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: He goes, he goes, nobody's talking to me because I'm

346
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: probably not going to sign until after the draft, because

347
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: then a team will sign some fool like me. You know,

348
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: he's kind of a bit tongue in cheek. Listen, Richard Sherman,

349
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: ain't no fool. That guy can offer something to young players,

350
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: and I think he's the kind of guy that would

351
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: do that. I mean, you'd have to have that conversation obviously,

352
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: but that's a guy that could really offer your culture,

353
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: like the Bills have something more. He's got a ton

354
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: of credibility, a ton of experience, has continued to be

355
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: a starting quality corner in the league at an advanced age.

356
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: He's built for the system the team runs. Could he

357
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: could shed a lot of wisdom onto young players that

358
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna put in there. Well, Levi Wallace included, Yes,

359
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, right, but the Bills sitting here think, oh,

360
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: we should get that guy. We should get But you know, watches, wait,

361
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: just wait, because the price is not gonna go up,

362
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna go sideways or down. The closer you get

363
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: to the season and Richard wants to play, and you

364
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: want to give him that opportunity to come in and compete.

365
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: You can certainly do that because even Levi Wallace knows

366
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: gonna bring in competition for him. And even if you

367
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: draft a guy at number thirty, Richard Sherman's not out

368
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: of the picture. All of that stuff's on the table.

369
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: So players like that are out there. And right now

370
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: the Bills are sitting and teams all across the league.

371
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: You know, you like Dean Marlow. This morning the Bills

372
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: lost him. But for the most part, the teams are saying,

373
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: all right, let's just sit, sit back and just just

374
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: let's just wait and see what the draft brings us,

375
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: and then in the end of it, maybe we'll get

376
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: a guy that is a home run on a one

377
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: year deal. Your top ten teams, your top fifteen teams

378
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: can kind of figure out what the first ten picks

379
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: are going to be. At number thirty, you have no

380
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: freaking clue. You have no idea what's going to happen

381
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: at number thirty because it is so late in the draft.

382
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: But the other part of this conversation of who you

383
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: should avoid drafting or who could make an immediate impact

384
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: is like, is this year one year window? Are we

385
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: going it needs to be this year? We're all in

386
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: on this year, or is it the window is a

387
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: couple years. Josh is going to get his money. That's

388
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: going to affect who you can keep on the team.

389
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the cap is going to

390
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: go up a lot over the next once it hits

391
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: with that new TV deal, players are gonna get paid

392
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: a lot more. Do take a guy like Richard Sherman?

393
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: Will he help immediately? Are you all in for this

394
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: one year and the decisions that you make are all

395
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: in for this season? Because this is the year that

396
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: you're going to make a run in the super Bowl,

397
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: or is your mindset. We have of a great roster

398
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: and we have the ability to get there this year,

399
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: but we also believe we have the ability to make

400
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: a super Bowl run over the next three years or

401
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: two years or whatever that window could be. I think

402
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: their plan is and it always has been, and you know,

403
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: whether they can do it remains to be seen, because

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 1: they've gotten to this point because they were good enough

405
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: last year to get into that conversation the top. And

406
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: I've made this point, and Kansas City fans will poop

407
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: poo this idea and stuff, and I get it. The

408
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs are really good, But to say they're this unbeatable juggernaut,

409
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: I don't buy it. They can be beaten, and they

410
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: can be beaten by a really good team that's playing

411
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: really well. The Bills are a really good team, but

412
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: they didn't play really well on that day, And Chiefs

413
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: fans will say that's because our teams that much better.

414
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because the Chiefs played like dogs

415
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: for a month and a half getting into that game,

416
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: and we're barely beating teams even in the playoffs. So

417
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: I think the Bill have to Their plan is we're

418
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna get good and we're gonna stay good. We're gonna

419
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: stay good. We're gonna be and I'm not trying to

420
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: blow sunshine somewhere it doesn't belong. But listen, they're not

421
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna be like the Pittsburgh Stealers that go out and

422
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: they make the playoffs every year. They're in contention for

423
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: their division title every year. They're gonna be like the

424
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens who are in contention for their division title

425
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: every single year. They're gonna be like the Patriots have

426
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: been for the last twenty years. They're in contention, if

427
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: not even in the conference, certainly in the division race,

428
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: there's gonna be. There are other teams like the New

429
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints with Drew Brees and Sean Payton in the

430
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: running for that division title each and every year. All

431
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: of these clubs Seattle Seahawks in the contention and inner

432
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: title race for that division and in the conference every

433
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: single year. There are teams out there who do it

434
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: every single year. Certainly, they all have similarities. They have

435
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Josh, but some of them are paying

436
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: their quarterback. They're still in that conversation the Green Bay

437
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: Packers being one of them. If you've got that guy,

438
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: you can stay competitive through out his career, if you

439
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: have enough foresight and discipline not to go outside the

440
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: lines one year at the expense of the subsequent years

441
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: to come after the Bills have shown the ability to

442
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: be disciplined. Yeah, it may you may not be as

443
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: really as good this year, but you're still going to

444
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: be in that conversation, have a chance. But you're also

445
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: going to be there next year because you held this

446
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: disciplined line this year and you didn't overspend for three

447
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: guys or two guys or one guy that compromise your

448
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: ability to get back there next year. The Bills have

449
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: been really disciplined in doing that, and that's the plan.

450
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: So you can say it, and I get it. There's

451
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: a window, but the window is opened by the guy

452
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: you've got. Taken snaps to me more than anything else. Yeah,

453
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think the window is also

454
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: open for longer than a year because you talk about

455
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: overspending and you talk about how Brandon Mean has not

456
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: done that, and he's shown patients and he's shown that consistently.

457
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: If this was gonna be the do it or die year,

458
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: we would see even with the small cap number, we

459
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: would see being overspending in different type of ways, right,

460
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: And that has not been the case yet, and it's

461
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: not going to be the case. Um They've resigned several players,

462
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: John Feliciano, Darry Williams, Matt Milano who took less money

463
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: to be here, Right, Brandon Bean could have overpaid for

464
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: these guys, but these guys, Yes, these guys took less

465
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: money because they wanted to be here. And Brandon was

466
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: not gonna budge on overspending on players like that, no

467
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: matter no matter how how much of a tie there

468
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 1: is to the organization, right, because you fall in love

469
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: with these guys and the fans do too, Like if Matt.

470
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: I didn't think Matt Milano was going to come back

471
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: to the team because of what he would be worth

472
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: on the market. I don't know what those conversations were

473
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: with other teams, but I did there was nowhere in

474
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: my brain that there's a space for me to believe

475
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, John Feliciano, and Darrel Williams are all gonna

476
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: come back. I didn't think that was happening. That was

477
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: off and John Feliciano said it to me when when

478
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: when I had him on the podcast, it was like,

479
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: were you shocked by this? Am I the only person

480
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: in the room who was like, how did how did

481
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: our GM do this? And he was like, I didn't

482
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: think that that was going to happen. Yeah. Yeah, you

483
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: almost get to the point where and I said, I

484
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: went through this as a player. Although it's you know,

485
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: it's way earlier in the in the era of free

486
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: agency than than we are now, obviously, but you just

487
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: got to the point where you knew that when you

488
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, on the locker clean out day you were

489
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: saying goodbye to guys. It is my it is my

490
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: least favorite day, right, It's it's like, bro, man, I

491
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: wish you all about hope you get the contract you deserve.

492
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I don't know where you're gonna be, but

493
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be here. You know, you kind of

494
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: with that thought. You wouldn't say you ain't gonna be here,

495
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: but you say, I hope you get everything you know,

496
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: and you know, hug the guy and that's it. It's

497
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: not like he falls off the face of the ear.

498
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: You can still call him and text him and stuff.

499
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: But he's not part of the family anymore, right, And

500
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: we had all and I think all builds mafia, all

501
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: of it. The front of everybody was like, it's been great.

502
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: Matt Milano's year around. Man, you're awesome. I hope it

503
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: all happens for you. Darryl Williams, you were great for

00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: us that one year you hit us. Thank you, you know,

505
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,560

Speaker 1: you get everything. I hope your dreams come. It's all great,

507
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,720

508
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: all saying goodbye to these guys, and you know that

509
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: it's a It's not only a testament to Brandon being

510
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: for being disciplined, it's also a huge shout out to

511
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. You're catching lightning in a bottle. It It

512
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: is a special coach and a special guy to formulate

513
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: an environment and it's all Sean. An environment that is

514
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: so enticing and so comfortable and empowering and exciting and

515
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: inspiring to get these guys tore like, man, I want

516
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: to do this. I want to be a part. I

517
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: do not want to leave and I will do anything

518
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: to stay here. Or do you know I'll do a

519
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: B and C. I'll sacrifice to stay here. That is

520
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: an unbelievably unique guy. So you've got the guy at

521
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: the general managers think to stay and listen, this is

522
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: our thing. We're gonna do this. You can be with us,

523
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: but you have to do this. You have to accept

524
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: this deal. But we're doing it, and those guys out

525
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: there going to I believe it and I want to

526
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: be a part of it, and I will do that deal. Yeah,

527
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: and so many other guys rework their contracts, Mitch Morse

528
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: being one of them, Mario Addison like several. This is

529
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: not just two players who are like, oh, I'll take lens.

530
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: It was multiple And I think that speaks to what

531
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 1: the Bills can do now and what the Bills can

532
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: do over the next several years. But we've got to

533
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: take a break a lot more when we come back.

534
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: Just starting off on this Thursday afternoon, One Bill's Live

535
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: presented by Khalid to Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio. See

536
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: you guys in a bit, Welcome back into One Bills Live.

537
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: Maddie glab here with Steve Tasker, and we're talking about

538
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: our Twitter question that we've got out today, it's other

539
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: than a quarterback? What position should be off the table

540
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: for the Bills at pick number thirty, wide receiver, running back, safety, linebacker.

541
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: You've got your pick. We gave you some options, so

542
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: make sure you check out the Twitter poll and let

543
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: us know your your two cents, let us know what

544
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: you're thinking, or give us a call at eight oh three,

545
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: five fifty. We love when we have colors, and we've

546
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: got a couple right now, so we're gonna go to

547
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: the phone lines. We've got Rob in Toronto. Who's joining us? Rob,

548
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: you are on with us. Good to be with you too.

549
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: We see that you've got some thoughts about the NFL Draft.

550
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: Who do you think the Bills maybe should or should

551
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 1: not take with that number thirty overall pick? I was thinking, Maddie,

552
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: maybe we just moved back. I'd say maybe five six spots.

553
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: Pick up the guy from Penn State. Uh, sorry that

554
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: the d N there from Penn State. I can't remember

555
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: his name, and the corner from Syracuse, Iffi Melifuanu. Those

556
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: should be nice second round picks from maybe one later

557
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: in the second round, one earlier in the second round.

558
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: I want to be mine. Help cornerback help and maybe

559
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. Wanted to hear your thoughts. You and

560
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: Steve great show love it, Thank you, Thanks Rob. That's

561
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: where we're at two. I mean, I moving back. It

562
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: depends on what you get to move back five or

563
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: six spots. Certainly you're not gonna get that different of

564
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: a player five spots later, that deep in the draft.

565
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: But what you do is the further you move back,

566
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: the more boxes each of these prospects does not check.

567
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: They you know, they get slower, they get smaller, they

568
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: get less skilled, and they less less productive tape. That's

569
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff mixed in there together. Or there's some

570
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: or there's some other glaring deficiency that drags them back.

571
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they do check a lot of those boxes, but

572
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: they've never been healthy, or they're coming off a massive injury,

573
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: or they played at such a small school that you know,

574
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: you don't even know exactly how they would, you know,

575
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: whether they sink or swim in a in a pool

576
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: of better athletes around them. All of that stuff, all

577
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: those question marks get bigger and bigger the further down

578
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: the draft boards you go. So you're right, I mean,

579
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: you're you're I was telling Maddie during the break. This

580
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: is the first time since they signed all these offensive lineman,

581
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: the last two. You know, this Forest Lamp we were

582
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: talking about yesterday and Jamil they got they'd signed on

583
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: Friday last week. They had enough offensive lineman they're signing.

584
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: They're getting on top of that. For the first time,

585
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of taking a deep breath saying, we might

586
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: have enough guys to go into the season and be

587
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: healthy or unhealthy. We'll have enough guys to play and

588
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: play well in front of Josh, which to me is

589
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: job one offensively, because our offensive our offensive skills spots

590
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: are set. I'm okay with tight ends they've got right now.

591
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't. They want They've got their

592
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: eyes set on, you know, getting another guy. Okay, whatever,

593
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. Take a guy who's gonna make

594
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: a difference, and for the first time, I'm thinking, at

595
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: thirty you may be able to get a running back

596
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: who has another gear, changing gears or who is a

597
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: full size bigger with another gear, you know, kind of

598
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: a guy that's like, holy, we got the defense lines

599
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: up and says, where is that guy? I gotta where

600
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: is he? Okay, there he is get him first, right,

601
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: one of those guys, I don't know that there is

602
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: a guy. Maybe this guy Naji Harris or Travis at

603
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: N will do that. Those are the only two names

604
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: you really hear about being in that conversation. Okay, maybe

605
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: they're going to be there and maybe the Bills will

606
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: take one, But for me, I'm also there. You know,

607
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: where's the corner opposite to Davis that we've been looking

608
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: for a guy that teams will hesitate to throw at

609
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: like they don't hesitate with LEVI. So I don't know.

610
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you. It's a it's a wide reaching conversation

611
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: and it's only gotten wide reaching since the Bills started

612
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: adding some pretty quality depth players around the roster and

613
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: resigning all these guys that we just had that conversation

614
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: about some guys who have started who are who are

615
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: joining the Bills as free agents. And Rob brought up

616
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: that why not trade back a couple of spots? And

617
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: I've been tracking all of these mocked drafts, and as

618
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: of late, there have been a couple mock drafts that

619
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: have came out that have had us trading up or down.

620
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: And if he mentioned Penn States, Jason Oway, the defensive

621
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: and the edge rush for Penn State, who has some

622
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: pretty good tape. We broke him down a couple weeks ago.

623
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: I believe I think he has more upside than anything.

624
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: I didn't think he popped off. I wasn't like, oh

625
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: my gosh, We've got to take Jason Oway. But if

626
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: he's someone who who we would trade back and is

627
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: still on the board and falls to us at thirty

628
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: five or whatever, I could see that making sense. And

629
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: then you get a couple more draft picks. Based on

630
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: our conversation yesterday, you hit on usually half of your

631
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: draft picks. If we have seven this year, then you

632
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: hit on three and a half of those players that

633
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: you draft. So maybe the more players you draft the better.

634
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: So moving back in the draft, if if we get

635
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: to thirty and there was no one that Brandon Bean

636
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: loves and things will still be on the board at

637
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven, then totally trade back

638
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: and get more picks. Jason Oway could could be a

639
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: good option for this team. He's not that edge rusher

640
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: who's gonna make a Day one impact. I don't think

641
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: I think those live in the picks that we wouldn't

642
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: be able to trade up to get that. That's not

643
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: where the depth is in this NFL draft, And usually

644
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: those edge rushers are a diamond like, they're tough to find.

645
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: Those are are the diamond and a rough type players

646
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: who if you get one that late, you've got a

647
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: really great eye and you're really great at your job,

648
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: because most of them are going to be in your

649
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: top ten. Right there. Um, cornerback that he that he

650
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: mentioned IFA two me Melan fon Wu from Syracuse, who

651
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: has been mocked to us in the second round, A

652
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: corner who also I think has a lot of upside

653
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: in what he's shown in his tape. Um, I think

654
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: did Greg Cosell help break break that guy down? I

655
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: think yeah last week when he broke down all those

656
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and told us all the cornerbacks that were we're

657
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: not going to be on the board at number thirty,

658
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: but he was one that could be on the board

659
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: at number thirty. So a lot of different options, a

660
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: lot of different opinions. Will go back to the phone lines,

661
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: because we've got another caller, Mike from Salamanica. I hope

662
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: I said that right you aren't from around I'm not

663
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: from around here. Mike, I'm sorry, I just butcher that name.

664
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: I'm three years into not even two and a half

665
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: years into living in Buffalo, and some of these town

666
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: names still still get me a little bit rattled in

667
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: the best way, because I've just got to do more

668
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: work on learning how to pronounce all of this stuff.

669
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: But what are you thinking for the NFL Draft and

670
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: for that number thirtieth overall pick? I think you need

671
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: help on defense. They were like positions. I'm I'm holding

672
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: a run best. I say you need help? Yeah? That

673
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: Who do you think they should take? Though? What kind

674
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: of what position do you have? Any got anybody in mind?

675
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: Are you just saying just on that side of the ball,

676
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: that's where they need to go? Front seven even or

677
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: corner or what we took off on us? Yeah, well

678
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: there you go. Help on defense. Help on defense. That's

679
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: splitting the team in half and taking a shot there. Yeah.

680
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: We've been talking about that all day as well, so

681
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that Mike didn't hear that. But yeah, defense

682
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: sounds good to me. I think that's where the majority

683
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: would fall with what you want to do with that

684
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: number thirty thirtieth overall pick in the NFL Draft. So

685
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: give us your thoughts, call us eight oh three, five fifty,

686
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: or tweet at us, let us know what you don't

687
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: want to see the Buffalo Bills take at number thirty,

688
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: whether it be wide receiver, running back, safety, linebacker. Are

689
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: the options that we just gave you, and we can

690
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: dip back into the tweet sheet, which is brought to

691
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

692
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. And we got through Parker and

693
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: he said the established starters should be off the table.

694
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: Tiffany says, with an elite group of wide receivers, I

695
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: would focus my attention elsewhere. We have top flight starters

696
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: and our backup players would have a good chance to

697
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: start for another team. Yeah, that's yeah, preaching to the choir,

698
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: preaching to the choir. And I think that the thought

699
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: is going in and this has been occurring to me

700
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: just after the last couple of calls, and where you're

701
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: trying to get inside the mind of Brandon Bean, I

702
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: can see more of a situation where he has always

703
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: displayed this desire to there are guys out on this board,

704
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: and there may be there maybe two, three, there may

705
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: be ten twelve or fourteen. I don't know, but there

706
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: are guys on the board for the Bills, on the

707
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: draft board for the Bills. They're looking at it all

708
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: these names that are going to be available, and there's

709
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: going to be a number of them that they're gonna say, Man,

710
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: if we get the some of these guys from the

711
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: top twenty selections, if any of these twenty can fall

712
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: to thirty because there's a bunch of quarterbacks taken, or

713
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: there's a run on offensive lineman or a run on

714
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: other positions, and one of these guys jumps falls down

715
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: to us, we're gonna take him and we won't have

716
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: to move to do it. But what will happen is

717
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: nineteen of those guys will be of those twenty will

718
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: be gone, and there'll be at twenty eight. Then you

719
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: could see him saying, listen, I know this guy. I

720
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: am sure, or as sure as they can be, that

721
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: this guy's going to contribute this much to us this

722
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: year or in this way, or this is the contribution

723
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: I want from him. I'm gonna give up a fourth

724
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: rounder and this pick at thirty to move up two

725
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: spots to get him, because I'm that sure he's gonna

726
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: do it. That's gonna be worth it because I know

727
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: that guy is gonna make a difference for us. That's

728
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: the kind of moving up scenario. The Brandon bean has become,

729
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, kind of famous for us and Bill's mafia,

730
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: and we've seen that he'll trade up. He never trades down.

731
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: It's worked out, he never trades down, but he will

732
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: trade up for a guy. So I think what that's

733
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: our question really is how many guys in this draft

734
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: are worth more than the thirtieth pick that we have

735
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: that to give up, like the thirtieth pick plus a

736
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: fourth rounder, a third rounder, even a second rounder. How

737
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: many guys are worth what for us to move up?

738
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: How many spots in this draft to get? And that's

739
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: the that's the equation you have. Would the people above us,

740
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: the teams above us, would they be willing to listen

741
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: to our call or to listen to Brandon or whoever's

742
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: making that call on the phone saying, Hey, we want

743
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: to trade up a few spots. This is what we're

744
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna give you. Does that make sense? There's a thousand

745
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: moving parts to this and the machine hasn't started turning yet.

746
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, the draft hasn't started turning yet. How sure

747
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: are any of us that the top ten's going to

748
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: go in the order they're at right now? I'm not that.

749
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: I think it's a coin flip, right that it will

750
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: or won't. I agree with that. I think the top

751
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: three picks could be interesting. I mean, we know one

752
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: and we know two. Based on reports number three, a

753
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying the forty nine ers really

754
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: like mac Jones. Are the forty nine ers gonna take

755
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: mac Jones? Would I would be surprised if they do.

756
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if they don't. I think as

757
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 1: a team that's not in their conference, it's another team, Yeah,

758
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: take him because I don't think he's worth it. I

759
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: think I think that is one thing that hurts that team,

760
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: and if that team is hurt, that helps our team.

761
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't think the Niners are going to do that.

762
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: I really do not believe the Niners are gonna take

763
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: mac Jones. Are the Patriots gonna trade up and try

764
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: and get a quarterback? I think that's one of the

765
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: most interesting things that could happen in the first round.

766
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm kind of where I was last year. They've got

767
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: the fifteenth overall pack I was. I was. I think

768
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: I can't hear the way I remember it. I was right,

769
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: so right. I did not believe. I did not believe

770
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: that they were going to go into the season with

771
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: whoever the kid was, the the backup quarterback, just Cam

772
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: Newton was this year, the young rookie Jar Stidham. Yeah.

773
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: I didn't think they were gonna go with Jared Stidham. No,

774
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: but they put it out there like they were going to, like,

775
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: we like our guy. Then they signed Cam Newton. I

776
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, there you go. There's there's your answer.

777
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: Now they signed Cam Newton and gave him some money,

778
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: although none of it's guaranteed, I don't think. And they're saying, yeah,

779
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with him, Well they here's They did

780
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: that so that the two tight ends that they wanted

781
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: to pursue at least knew who they were gonna have

782
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: at quarterback, at least in some respect. I'm almost the

783
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: point where I was with Jared Stidham last year with

784
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: Cam Newton this year. I don't think he's I don't

785
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: think he's gonna make the season. I really don't. I

786
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: series doubts that Bill Belichick is going to go through

787
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: another year. Looking at Cam Newton throwing fifty five footers

788
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: on a sixty yard route on a sixty foot route,

789
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: I just think Justin Fields for them makes sense, And

790
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: I think they could move up if they wanted to

791
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: and when, And this is what everyone has been talking about,

792
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: So it's not like this opinion is anything unique, because

793
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: this has been the talk on sports TV this past

794
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: week is the Patriots never get that number fifteen pick.

795
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: They're they're usually too good to be that high in

796
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: the first round, and so you have this opportunity in

797
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: this window to go get your quarterback of the future maybe,

798
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields just makes sense to learn with Cam Newton,

799
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: Like that makes sense to me based on the way

800
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: that Justin Fields has been able to move and what

801
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: he showed in that title game. I think that would

802
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: make so much sense. I think that would be great

803
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. But I don't want the Patriots to

804
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: be great, so yeah, I don't think. I think the

805
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: Patriots would probably cove it Mac Jones more than they'd

806
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: covert Justin Fields. Take mac Jones then, because because you

807
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: know Saban the head coach of Alabama, where Mac Jones played,

808
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: loves the guy, says really really smart, kind of limited

809
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady was. I mean, I can just see

810
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: all that stuff happening. Yeah, I just don't think Ken

811
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: Newton's going to be the guy. We've got to take

812
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: a break, but when we come back, we will continue

813
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: the conversation about the NFL Draft and what the Bills

814
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: could do at that thirtieth overall spot in the first round.

815
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: It's One Bills Live presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo

816
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live, Steve Tasker,

817
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: Maddi glab here on this Thursday, we've been talking about

818
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft because that's on the horizon for Thel

819
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 1: and for every team in the NFL. April twenty ninth

820
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: is when it kicks off the first round. We've got

821
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: the thirtieth overall pick in the NFL Draft, and we're

822
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: talking about what should we what should we do if

823
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: we were bring to being, who would we draft, what

824
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: position would we draft or what position should we avoid?

825
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: And we're gonna go back to the phone lines. Cal

826
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 1: from Grand Island, You've been hanging on for a while.

827
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being on the line for

828
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: quite a bit of time. What do you what is

829
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: your thoughts? So I'm on the train of maybe trading

830
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: up makes sense. What do you think about trading up? Well,

831
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm a dream with you guys in the fact that

832
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: that we're gonna need an impact player, because I mean,

833
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: the roster is pretty much stacked the way it is,

834
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: so we're gonna need somebody really, you know, really good

835
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: to step in. And I've been doing the match. I've

836
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: been looking at the charts and stuff, and if we

837
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: really want to move up, probably our most logical choice

838
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: would be either up to nineteenth or twentieth, because everything

839
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: in between twenty one and twenty nine is pretty much

840
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: in our conference except for the first two above us,

841
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: which is out that much. And I don't really think

842
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolis or Tennessee is gonna want to help us get

843
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: any better in our conference. So if we're gonna move

844
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: up to Washington, we're gonna need about nine hundred basically

845
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: nine hundred points you know on the draft chart, right,

846
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: and we'd have to chade our first and our second

847
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: that would give us nine twelve. Well, they would get

848
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: us up to the like nineteenth or even something with Chicago.

849
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: Is that eight hundred. We could probably get rid of

850
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: our you know, our third, fifth, sixth, and seventh, and

851
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: they might be able to make a deal with us.

852
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: But my whole concern would be the upgrade that secondary,

853
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: or at least have another option in case somebody gets hurt.

854
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: I love JC Horn. I've done a lot. I've been

855
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: doing a lot of reading on the mock drafts, and

856
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: I just I think he is outstanding. He can cover

857
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: tight ends, especially with the fact in New England just

858
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: got two really high end tight ends in their in

859
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: their free agency. I think if we can get a corner,

860
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: and he's a big corner too, he's not you know,

861
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: he's a really big, physical corner, I would just I

862
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: really think he'd be the optimal pick for the Bills.

863
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 1: And if we can't get him, I wouldn't mind getting

864
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: that Dickerson kid out of Alabama to the center, just

865
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: because Mitch Morris with his concussion issues, and I guess

866
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: you can play either guard, and you know how they

867
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: love those versatility guys. So those would be my two

868
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: guys that I would cove it in the draft. You

869
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: covered all the bases. That's a good call, Calking, and

870
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: I agree you gotta you go into the and what

871
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: people if people don't know what what Kyle's talking about,

872
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: the math and the charts and stuff, there is. There's

873
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: a grid of value that each pick in the draft,

874
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: all two hundred and fifty six picks have a number value,

875
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: and that value you add up certain picks and they

876
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: equal another pick. So if you're getting the top five pick,

877
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: you're talking a lot of draft picks that will go

878
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: up and equal that pick. And by doing that math,

879
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: you can say that's why you get these draft these

880
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: trades that have this guy or this pick plus this

881
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: pick and this pick equal this other pick. Will they

882
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: do it with a value chart of how far down

883
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: the draft those other picks are, and you bundle them

884
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: together that equal the value of the one pick that

885
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about. He did the math, and he's right.

886
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: It'll take a third, a fifth, or sixth seventh to

887
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 1: get all the way from thirty up into nineteen twenty

888
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: ten spots of But if he get a guy in

889
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: with a roster like Buffalo has, you don't need much.

890
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get six guys that make this club outright.

891
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: So if you take, and you take, and you bundle

892
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: four guys that will get you one guy that does

893
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: make this roster and can and can contribute. He's gonna

894
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: be a good guy, good enough that will contribute not

895
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: just for this year, but if he can bust into

896
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: this roster, he's gonna be good for a handful of

897
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: years at least. So that's what you're looking at. And

898
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Bee might use that logic to say, listen,

899
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: we got six seven picks, six of which have no

900
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: shot at making our club because we're so deep. We're

901
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: at that point, so let's bundle them throw him at

902
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: one pick that we think has got a chance to

903
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: do it, a guy like jac Horn, who's a big, strong,

904
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: athletic corner, which is exactly what they're looking for, exactly

905
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: the kind of guy. And we're also we can trade

906
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: up into a spot in the draft where he's going

907
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: to be available. It's a good call. Make a good case.

908
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: Could happen. Cal makes a good case too. We're gonna

909
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, Shilkapatia from the

910
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: Athletic is going to be on with us to talk

911
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: about the bills, the NFL, talk about it all. We

912
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: will see you back here shortly at a Steve Tasker

913
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: who has been all over her field. Kind of unique.

914
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role players for Steve,

915
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even into threaded fear of normalcy,

916
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: fok mec into one Bills Live. We are through our one,

917
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: approaching our two here and to help us continue our

918
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: conversation about the offseason, what teams have been up to

919
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: in free agency and how it sets us sets them

920
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: up for the NFL Draft, we'd like to welcome in

921
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: Shield Kapatia, who's an NFL writer for The Athletic and Shield,

922
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: you had a really great article that's out that's kind

923
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: of explains what we've learned from every single NFL team

924
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: in this off season, whether it's good moves or terrible moves,

925
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: and kind of how that sets them up for the

926
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: NFL Draft and for this twenty twenty one season. And

927
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: right off the bat, you have a paragraph about the

928
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and how this front office has done such

929
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: a good job of once Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean

930
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: came in making a good situation out of a bad

931
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: situation in terms of some contracts and things like that,

932
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: and players who might have been over paid and now

933
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: getting into the situation this year when you see Brandon Bean,

934
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: resigned players like John Feliciano, Matt Milano, Darryl Williams, several

935
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 1: other guys taking pay cuts to stay with this team.

936
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: Why do you think the front office has just been

937
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: so successful in what they've been able to do since

938
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: coming in and approaching year five here together. Yeah, I

939
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: think the cleanup act was impressive in itself. You know,

940
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: they came in and it was a tough situation, and

941
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: they had to get some money, some contracts off the books,

942
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, But then there is that rebuild aspect

943
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: of it. Now. Listen, the biggest key is Josh Allen

944
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: took this major leape last year. Right that can that

945
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: we see that with quarterback play around the league. Quarterbacks

946
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: they will allow gms and coaches to keep their jobs.

947
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: They will earn them raises, they will earn teammates raises

948
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: when they play well, and when they play poorly, guys

949
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: are going to get fired. I mean we see that

950
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: time and again. So I'm not taking anything away from that,

951
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: but I do think that when you look at the bills,

952
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: they did a great job of assessing where their organization

953
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: was what bold moves they needed to make and how

954
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: they needed to build around Josh Allen to give him

955
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: the best chance. And I think the culmination of that

956
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: was what you saw last year with a thirteen and

957
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: three record. Now, let's say Allen did not make that

958
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: huge leap last season. The fact is they would have

959
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: been in a situation this offseason where they could have

960
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: explored another option at quarterback, and that quarterback would have

961
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: been able to come in to a very good spot

962
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: and would be positioned to succeed. So that's the aspect

963
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: of it that I've really been impressed with. Yeah, you

964
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: should we look back across those few years and about

965
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and how they've handled it as a

966
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: front office. The thing that we've admired asn't Yeah, Okay,

967
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: they've made some muse and you said this interestingly enough,

968
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: you said they lead the league in moves. That makes sense.

969
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: You're right, I think it's a great place to be.

970
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: But how different, how big of a difference has it

971
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: made that the Bills have been disciplined enough to find

972
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 1: out about great players but not overpay for Since the

973
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown Levion Bells, the Khalil Max when he was

974
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: up for a trade, the JJ Watt, you can go

975
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: down the list, and the fact that the Bills have

976
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 1: been able to sit back and say we're not gonna

977
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: do that, and yet it has still continued to pay

978
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: off with players who would be viewed as a finger

979
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 1: quotes lesser quality, but get higher production out of It's

980
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: a great point. I think one of my rules for

981
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: free agency is don't fall in love. You know, you

982
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: see teams that they just enter free agency and they

983
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: say they just you can see the wheel spinning in

984
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: their head. They're picturing that player in their scheme, in

985
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: their stadium, the jersey they can see at all. They

986
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: just imagine, Wow, what a leap this player would bring us.

987
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: But you can't do that, because that's when mistakes get

988
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: made in free agency, is when you do that and

989
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: you say forget about it, whatever at all costs. I mean,

990
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: a great example to me that really stood out. I

991
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: think when I came up with that rule with the

992
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: Jets a couple of years ago with C. J. Mosley.

993
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: You know the linebacker Ravens, linebacker, really good player, Ravens

994
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: wanted to keep him. Jets basically said we're getting this guy.

995
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: We will pay whatever it takes. They reset the market

996
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: at off ball linebacker, and that ends up being, you know,

997
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, a pretty big mistake. So I think you

998
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 1: make a good point. I think the smartest gems in

999
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: the league they'll say, hey, we want to be in

1000
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: on every deal. You know, if a guy is available

1001
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 1: who we think can help us, we're going to make

1002
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: a call. We're gonna find out what they cost, whether

1003
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: it's compensation in a trade, whether it's money in free agency,

1004
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: and we're at least going to check on it. But

1005
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 1: I also think they had that discipline that you mentioned, Steve,

1006
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: where it's hey, we have a price. We have a

1007
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: walkaway price. You know, some people will describe it like that,

1008
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: we have this walk away price where if it even

1009
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: goes a little bit above that, we're not in. Because

1010
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: once you go a little bit above, then you get

1011
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: talked into a little bit more over that, and all

1012
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, your caps in bad shape and you're

1013
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: taking a gamble that you don't want to take. So

1014
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: I think they've been smart, they haven't been conservative. They

1015
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: make the big step on digs deal. You know, that's

1016
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: a bold move. There were certainly some risk with that,

1017
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: but it paid off. And I think you're not going

1018
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: to hit on all of those, but I do think

1019
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: they're really smart and when they do decide to take

1020
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: those risks. I mean talk about fallen in love with players.

1021
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: I think Bill's mafia fell in love with the idea

1022
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 1: of JJ Watt on this team this season. That didn't

1023
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: happen because JJ Watt got a lot of money from

1024
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals and you were able to see that

1025
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills were not willing to pay that much

1026
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: for JJ Watt. We'll see what the rest of his

1027
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: career has in store for him, but this is a

1028
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 1: player who had a great first half of his career

1029
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: has fallen off since of late because of injuries and

1030
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: things like that, not producing at the level that he

1031
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: did when he was younger. But you also talked about

1032
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: overspending in a team that has spent so much money

1033
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: in the AFCAST this free agency has been the New

1034
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: England Patriots. You know, they signed Hunter Henry and John

1035
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: new Smith that will pay them a good amount of

1036
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: money each year, and then you see them throw money

1037
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: at at other players in free agency, and they have

1038
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: this number fifteen pick in the first round. Are they

1039
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: overspending right now? What is going on with the New

1040
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: England Patriots and is this going to pan out in

1041
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 1: the way that they wanted to? Yeah? I think after

1042
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: I wrote this article, Bill's fans were very happy with

1043
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: me and Patriots fans were not happy with me at all, because,

1044
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, a few weeks ago, I thought this is

1045
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: going to be so interesting. You know, we're gonna see

1046
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick in this rare spot of having cap space,

1047
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: of not having a quarterback, of really being able to

1048
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: shape his roster anyway he wants. What's he going to do?

1049
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: I couldn't wait to see. And really, if you look

1050
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: at it, I mean they made the same mistakes that

1051
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: teams get made fun of every offseason. Let you know,

1052
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: we can just call it what it is, and it's

1053
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: just what I said. I mean, Yeah, Hunter, Henry, John

1054
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: Who Smith, Nelson Aghalore. They absolutely fell in love with

1055
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: those players and said, these are the guys we want.

1056
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: We had the cap space, let's go out and get them.

1057
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's the right way to approach

1058
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 1: free agency. I mean, Hunter, Henry and John Who Smith

1059
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: are being paid as the third and fourth highest paid

1060
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: tight ends in the NFL, behind Travis Kelsey and George Kittle.

1061
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know anyone who would consider them

1062
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: to be in the same class as Travis Kelsey and

1063
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: George Kittle. John H. Smith I like his upside. He

1064
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 1: had under five hundred yards receiving last year. And Hunter Henry.

1065
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's sort of been a similar story, especially

1066
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: when you look at some of the advanced stats on

1067
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry have not been impressive. So I'm not saying

1068
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: they're good players. I think they're fine players. But this

1069
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: was not the approach I expected Bill Belichick to take.

1070
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, maybe there'll be a player or two.

1071
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: You know, they got Matt jude On from the Ravens.

1072
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was a fine signing. They got a

1073
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: couple other players, Kendrick Bourne from the forty nine ers.

1074
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: The wide receiver. I thought those were smart moves. But

1075
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: you combine them with some of these aggressive spending. I mean,

1076
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: two years twenty two million for Nelson Agalore. When you

1077
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: look at how soft the wide receiver market was, the

1078
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: only way to read that is that they misread the

1079
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: market and just wanted to be so aggressive coming out

1080
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: of the gates and landing the players they wanted to

1081
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: layd So do they have more talent than they had

1082
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: last year? Yeah? Sure, absolutely they've filled some holes. But man,

1083
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: I would have a really hard time looking at it

1084
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: saying they made this giant leap because of the moves

1085
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,959
Speaker 1: they made in free agency. One of the other teams

1086
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: in the AFC East Is seems to be banking on

1087
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: their quarterback to a Tonga Viola to take a huge

1088
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: step forward. Certainly, Bills fans have no business saying it

1089
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: can't happen to anybody else because they saw the jump

1090
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen took this last year. And if Miami

1091
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: believes their guy can do that as well. Sure. How

1092
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: much pressure is on Toa to come through for the

1093
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins and how much pressure do the Dolphins put themselves

1094
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: under by depending on him? Well? I think more the

1095
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: pressure is probably on Ta than the Dolphins. And I

1096
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: say that because the Dolphins under Brian Flores here have

1097
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: been maybe the most decisive organization in the NFL. I mean,

1098
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: they decide what they want and you know you saw

1099
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: it when they got rid of Kyle van Noy one

1100
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: year into a four year, fifty one million dollar contract.

1101
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: This was a guy who played well for them last year.

1102
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, I think he was on the field for

1103
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: like eighty percent of the snaps, and they said, you

1104
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: know what, we don't think he's worth what we're paying him.

1105
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: We're just gonna move on and go in a different direction.

1106
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: They signed Shack Lawson, you know, last offseason, and they

1107
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: trade him after one year to the Houston Texans. So

1108
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins will view this as let's see

1109
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: what two has got, will give him an opportunity in

1110
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. We will support him at our best

1111
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: case scenario is that he plays well and that he

1112
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: looks like a franchise quarterback and we can continue to

1113
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: build and be on an upward trajectory. But I also

1114
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: think there's the other side of that where if he

1115
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: doesn't play well, like I don't think he's getting you know,

1116
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: two or three more years. I think if he doesn't

1117
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: play well, they're gonna look at it as a situation

1118
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: next offseason where they say, we're at least going to

1119
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: bring in some competition and we might take a big

1120
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: swing on somebody. And what the Dolphins did by moving

1121
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: back from the number three pick, you know, they got

1122
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: additional draft capital. I knew. I know they moved back up,

1123
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: but they still have an extra first round pick in

1124
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. So they're actually well positioned going into

1125
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: next offseason where if they say, you know what, we're

1126
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: not convinced too is the guy he really struggled. We

1127
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: learned more about him, we got more information. We want

1128
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: to take a big swing, either on a veteran quarterback

1129
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: who becomes available, or we want to take a big

1130
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: swing and move up in the draft. They actually have

1131
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: some resources to do that. Yeah, do you think that

1132
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: number six, the overall pick is a head scratcher after

1133
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: they move from number three to number twelve to up

1134
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: to number six, or do you think that just really

1135
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: sets them up for the draft and after this year's draft,

1136
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: the next year's draft, where they're going to see some

1137
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: more first round capital like you talked about. Yeah, I

1138
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: was surprised, you know, I was surprised that you go

1139
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: back up to six from twelve and kind of give

1140
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: up one of those extra first round picks. You know,

1141
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: in my head, I'm thinking, is the difference between six

1142
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: and twelve so great that you want to give up

1143
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: that additional first rounder? Next season, So it's a move

1144
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: I probably would not have done now. At the same time,

1145
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, they might think our there's six or seven

1146
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Blue Chippers in this draft, and you know, I don't

1147
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: think they really want to be that patient. I think

1148
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: they want to compete and think they can be a

1149
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: playoff team next year. So whether it was a guy

1150
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: like Jamar Chase, the wide receiver from LSU or Kyle Pitts,

1151
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: the tight end from Florida, it could have been a

1152
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: situation where they said, if we want to make sure

1153
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: too is position to succeed, we need to get him

1154
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: even more help than we already did with Will Fuller,

1155
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: and so let's make sure we get back up there

1156
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: to number six and get a Blue Chipper. But I

1157
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 1: definitely was a little bit surprised by that, and I'm

1158
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: not sure it's a move I would have made if

1159
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: I were then well in going back up, is there

1160
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: a possibility that Mommy Dolphins think, well, if this draft

1161
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: and with the move we have made, is there a

1162
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: chance that we feel like our roster has gotten good

1163
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,479
Speaker 1: enough or better to be competitive, so that if number

1164
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: six comes down to us, they may trade that pick again,

1165
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: go down and get more draft capital in the upcoming draft,

1166
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They might have traded back

1167
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: up thinking that pick would rise in value as this

1168
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: draft progresses through the first five picks and they say, listen,

1169
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna grab even more. This pick is going to

1170
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: become even more valuable as it gets closer to us,

1171
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: and they made parlay it into what more than what

1172
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: they had to give up to get back up there.

1173
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: All of that stuff becomes on the table first as

1174
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: this draft takes place. Yeah, I think anything is possible

1175
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:19,959
Speaker 1: with them. They're a bit of a wild card team

1176
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: at that number six spot because they certainly have needs

1177
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: they can add talent. But at the same time, like

1178
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned, if Justin Fields or Trey Lance or one

1179
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: of these other quarterbacks falls a little bit out of

1180
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: that top four, top five picks and the team says, wow,

1181
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: we didn't think he would be available at six, Let's

1182
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: go up and get him and make a move, then

1183
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: certainly it could be a situation where the Dolphins even

1184
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: make another move. So that's the interesting area with this

1185
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: draft is sort of that probably four to eight, I

1186
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: would say, because we don't know is one quarterback going

1187
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: to be available, our two quarterbacks going to be available there,

1188
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: and if so, wish teams are going to get aggressive

1189
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: and make a move to move up to land them.

1190
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: And then you have the New York Jets who have

1191
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: that second overall pick, and a lot of people think

1192
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: that they're going to take Zach Wilson. We saw they

1193
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: traded Sam Darnold to the Panthers earlier this week. Why

1194
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: is this draft so important for the Jets and Joe Douglas. Yeah,

1195
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think they've been pretty patient the last

1196
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: two years where Joe Douglas comes in and Adam gas

1197
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: is already the coach there and under contract, and so

1198
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: last offseason you were looking at the Jets thinking, all right,

1199
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: they've got moves to make. What are they going to do?

1200
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: And it was really low level free agent some guys

1201
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: to fill out the roster, but not really any big

1202
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: splash moves, and you really felt like they were just

1203
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: kind of biding their time to see how last season went,

1204
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: to figure out what direction they were going to go in,

1205
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: and it obviously went in a bad direction. With Adam Gase,

1206
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: he's out of there. And now it's a situation where

1207
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: Douglas can say, listen, I got the coach and Robert

1208
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: sala I've got resources, whether it's cap space or draft picks,

1209
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get his pick of quarterback. And it's

1210
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: really how we started this conversation. I mean a lot

1211
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: of times, as a GM, your job security is based

1212
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: on what that big move is you make at quarterback.

1213
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: And so we know they're going to draft somebody at

1214
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: number two, probably going to be Zach Wilson from the

1215
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: reports out of New York, although who knows, maybe that

1216
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: maybe they'll go with somebody else and surprise us. But

1217
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: whoever they pick, you know, now they've traded Sam Darnold.

1218
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: That quarterback is going to determine the success of the

1219
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: franchise over the next three to five years. And it's

1220
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: really going to determine Joe Douglass and what people think

1221
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: of the job he's done. You know, I think he's

1222
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: done a pretty good job so far. I thought that

1223
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: Darnald trade was a smart one for them. I think

1224
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the assets they got back in return were more than

1225
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: I expected when you consider how little success Darnold has

1226
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: had so far in the NFL, So I think that

1227
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: made sense. I don't think he's gotten impatient. I don't

1228
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: think he's gone out there and handed out crazy contracts

1229
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: to players in free agency. I thought they made some

1230
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: smart moves with Corey Davis and Carl Lawson in free agency.

1231
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: And now you go, you get the quarterback, you try

1232
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: to support him, and you see if you have a

1233
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: winning partnership there with the quarterback and Robert Sala. Last

1234
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: one for me, she does the draft start I mean

1235
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and then Zach Wilson. Does the draft start

1236
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: after that second pick or does it start after the

1237
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: third pick? How sure are we that the San Francisco

1238
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are gonna take Mac Jones? Yeah? I

1239
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: there are people a lot smarter than me and a

1240
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: lot more plugged in than May that would tell you

1241
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: it starts at number four. But until I hear those

1242
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: words come out of Roger Goodell's mouth, that's say the

1243
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 1: forty nine ers take Mac Jones with the number three pick,

1244
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna wait and see what it is totally,

1245
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm yeah, I'm not a quarterback guru, but

1246
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: just looking at those guys and talking to people I

1247
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 1: trust who have opinions on those top quarterbacks, you know,

1248
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: maybe it will be mac Jones, But until I hear it,

1249
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna believe it. I do think, though, four

1250
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: is really interesting because I'm of the mind that the

1251
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: Falcons are not going to draft a quarterback and just

1252
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: say let's blow it up and rebuild. I think, you

1253
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: look at it, they had a lot of bad luck

1254
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: last year, and I think that with a new head

1255
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: coach and Matt Ryan, I don't think he's cooked yet.

1256
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: They've got weapons around him. I think they can definitely

1257
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 1: trade back, get more draft capital, and a team's gonna

1258
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: move up there. Maybe a team like the Denver Broncos

1259
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: is going to move up there to number four and

1260
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback. So I do think that's when the

1261
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: drama will pick up a little bit. Sill, thank you

1262
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: so much for the time. Thanks for going through this

1263
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: article that you wrote with us, especially the AFC East.

1264
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: It's good to say in the know about what all

1265
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the teams are doing and what could happen here in

1266
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: just a couple of short weeks with all those early

1267
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: picks that the Jets and the Dolphins and then Patriots

1268
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: have so thank you so much. Thanks for having me guys.

1269
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: Take care all right, Shill, that was sil Capatia from

1270
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: the Athletic He's an NFL rider. And it's interesting that

1271
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of they just get to sit there

1272
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: and watch what happens to all of these teams, especially

1273
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: teams in their conference in the AFC East. I mean

1274
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots, like I've said before, and like we all know,

1275
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 1: they're usually not up that high, and they could up

1276
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: higher if if they want to. And the Dolphins have

1277
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,439
Speaker 1: this sixth pick, and the Jets have this second pick,

1278
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: and these are moves that can change your organization for

1279
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: the better or for the worst, whether you hit on

1280
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: them or you don't. And the Bills are going to

1281
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: be sitting pretty waiting for the night to basically be over.

1282
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Before they get on the clock. It's going to be late,

1283
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see how that top five,

1284
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: because he's right, and that's what we've been talking about

1285
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: on the show last week or two. Certainly, Trevor Lawrence

1286
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: goes number one to Jacksonville number two. For everybody says

1287
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: that the Zack Wilson is going to go to the

1288
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Jets number three. San Francisco forty nine ers who moved

1289
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: up to get to number three. There's no way a

1290
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: team and historically would move up to number three and

1291
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: not take a quarterback. Well, they know who's going to

1292
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: be available at that spot, so they know that Trevor

1293
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Zack Wilson are probably not going to be gone.

1294
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Who they got their eye on, Well, everybody thinks they've

1295
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: got their eye on Mac Jones because of some of

1296
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: the things that they've said, some of the the tea

1297
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: leaves that people are reading. They like mac Jones, but

1298
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: nobody else likes mac Jones. They think mac Jones is

1299
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: a big, stiff, weak armed, smart guy. Okay, we saw

1300
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady do that, Philip Rivers. You know, he didn't

1301
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: have a weak arm. He had a pretty good arm.

1302
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: But Mac Jones, you know, doesn't tick enough physical boxes

1303
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: to make people go, you're gonna trade up like nine

1304
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: spots and give up all that stuff to get to

1305
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: that pick for that guy. Nobody believes it, and which

1306
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: in shield Capati has said the same thing. He said,

1307
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know I believe when I hear it. Most

1308
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: people think it's gonna be somebody else, one of the

1309
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: other two quarterbacks from North Dakota State or from wherever

1310
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, no, Ohio state justin fields or lance

1311
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: or trade lance. You know where are they gonna be?

1312
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: Which one of those guys is gonna because both those

1313
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: guys check a lot of boxes and they're they're what

1314
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: the NFL quarterbacks look like. They're the new wave quarterbacks

1315
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: of what you're seeing come into the NFL year after year,

1316
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen being a part of the conversation, Russell Wilson

1317
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: being one of those first guys, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson.

1318
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: A lot of these players that we're seeing come into

1319
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: the NFL more often than not, are your guys who

1320
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 1: can move out of the pocket when the pocket starts

1321
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: to collapse. They have room to make moves on their

1322
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 1: feet and are able to tuck it and run if

1323
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: they need to, or make a play out of nothing.

1324
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: And Mac Jones is certainly going to land on an

1325
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: NFL team and get a chance to be starting quarterback

1326
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But if you're going to draft someone

1327
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,719
Speaker 1: like Mac Jones and if you want him to start

1328
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: and have success right away, you better have a dang

1329
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: good offensive line because he is not your quarterback who's

1330
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: going to tuck it and run when the pocket collapses.

1331
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: He's your stand in the pocket type of quarterback. And

1332
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: Alabama had a really good offensive line, and they always do,

1333
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: and that's why they are so successful in what they

1334
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: do is because they're usually pretty good in the trenches.

1335
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: And so if you're gonna draft Mac Jones, you better

1336
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: be certain that if he's starting week one, and if

1337
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 1: he's going to be your starter week one through all

1338
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: the way to the end of the season, you've got

1339
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 1: to have a pretty strong offensive line already built up

1340
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: in place. And certainly the Niners can feel like they've

1341
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: got a ready made roster for a young player to

1342
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: come in and fit in. They've got weapons, they've got

1343
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: a defense, they've got an offensive line, they got a

1344
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: run game, they've got all of that stuff. They got

1345
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: a head coach, they've got a roster that was in

1346
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl two years ago, and then last year

1347
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: was going to be competitive before injuries ravaged their entire roster.

1348
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: So they've got to feel like if there's a guy

1349
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: that can come in and pick up quickly and have

1350
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: some success early. And Mac Jones does have the perceived

1351
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: mentality he's a really sharp guy, really smart guy, So

1352
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: they gotta feel like if he's gonna come in and

1353
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: pick it up fast and get it and run it

1354
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: like it should be run. This guy might have the

1355
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: way the skill set to do it. However, you know,

1356
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,759
Speaker 1: there's a lot of flags that you alluded to about

1357
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: mac Jones. One, he doesn't he's not an athlete. He's

1358
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: tall and big, and but his arm is average at best. Secondly,

1359
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: is there a perception that when he was playing quarterback

1360
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: at Alabama Charlie Bag of Donuts could have played quarterback

1361
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: for the Alabama with all the guys that he used

1362
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: throwing to two first guys that are gonna get picked

1363
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: in the first round. One of them is a Heisman

1364
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Trophy winner at wide receiver and the other guys even better. So,

1365
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: and he's got an offensive line that's going to get

1366
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. Two round offensive linemen out there,

1367
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: they got. He's playing in the midst of a college

1368
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: football team, playing against a bunch of other teams that

1369
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: aren't as good as any of the guys he's playing with. Yeah,

1370
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: he should be good. He should have had a lot

1371
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: of success. So all of the stuff that those are

1372
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of red flags for a quarterback coming out. But nevertheless,

1373
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: he does bring some things to the table that are

1374
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: pretty good. That guy doesn't get you into the wrong

1375
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: play That guy could come into an NFL training camp

1376
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: having the playbook already under his belt. That's how smart

1377
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: the guy is. He understands football, you know, he understands personnel, groupings, defenses,

1378
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and he retains information. So he's gonna

1379
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 1: learn fast and he's gonna get better. Guys like Mac

1380
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: Jones get better as they go along. He's limited by

1381
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: his physical nature and his wheels, so there's a lot

1382
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: of people that just don't believe he's that good. Justin

1383
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: Fields played in a lot of big moments, has a

1384
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: lot of arm, has shown some things on film that

1385
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: give you the idea that he is gonna be able

1386
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,759
Speaker 1: to do it at the NFL level, both mentally and physically.

1387
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:05,679
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, Trey Lance checks a lot of the boxes

1388
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen did. A lower level, a lower level

1389
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: athlete who really excelled and has a lot of physical

1390
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 1: as a pro type body, a big pro arm, big

1391
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: pro physical speed, big athleticism. So there's gonna be guys

1392
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: on the board when the forty nine ers pick that

1393
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 1: seemed better than Mac Jones. And yet you know the

1394
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: forty nine ers have maintained and everybody. They haven't come

1395
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: out and said it, but they've laid a trail of

1396
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: breadcrumbs that says that Mac Jones is their guy. I

1397
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 1: don't know why they would keep it a secret, but

1398
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 1: they still haven't said that that's going to happen. So

1399
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot of intrigue and so I'm I agree with Shilkapati.

1400
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: I think the draft does start at number three, not

1401
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: at number four. Yeah, I agree with that too. I

1402
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:00,040
Speaker 1: think that number three pick is too enticing in a

1403
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: lot of different ways for what the forty nine ers

1404
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 1: could do, and they could be seen something that we're

1405
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: not seeing. You know, these people in the front office

1406
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 1: and scouting department get paid a lot of money to

1407
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: see things that other teams may not see, or pick

1408
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 1: up on certain things or whatever that makes this player

1409
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: seem like he's going to have a great NFL career

1410
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: in a long NFL career. So Mac Jones could get

1411
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: draft at number three and go on and have a

1412
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,719
Speaker 1: wonderful NFL career. And we could all be wrong based

1413
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: on what we're saying, but there's some interesting points on

1414
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: both sides with what he could do or what he

1415
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: could be limited with in the NFL. But we're going

1416
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: to take a break. When we come back, we might

1417
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: get into some mock draft watch breakdown a couple defensive

1418
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: lineman and let us let you guys know what we're

1419
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,679
Speaker 1: thinking about these three that have been mocked the Buffalo

1420
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: Bills a couple times. So stick with us. Here One

1421
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1422
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,759
Speaker 1: We are back here on One Bills Live inside Seneca Studio.

1423
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: We wish we were outside, but we are inside. Steve

1424
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: during the break went out and tested the water, per

1425
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: se tested the air. For everybody who's been outside today,

1426
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm telling stadium, do you have a shout of the stadium?

1427
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 1: Look at that? Give us that Butte, she looks right. Guys.

1428
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: I wish it was football season and miss it, and

1429
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: I miss our fans in the stands. Yea looks wonderful outside.

1430
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: But we are going to be talking about the mock

1431
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: drafts that have been going around for many months now.

1432
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: Started tracking them in January. Now it's April and I've

1433
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: tracked ninety one of them. Don't worry, guys, there's gonna

1434
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: be another mock draft watch coming out this weekend. I

1435
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: know you were waiting for it and really wanting it.

1436
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: So Saturday or Sunday, whenever it's posted, you'll get a

1437
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: look at some more mock drafts. See who people think

1438
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 1: we are going to draft with the number thirty pick

1439
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 1: in the first round. And we want to dive into

1440
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 1: the seven point o version which got released this past

1441
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: weekend and talk about some of those picks, break down

1442
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: some of those players. And I've got to say in

1443
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: this crop, let me pull up my stats that we

1444
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: have going on. So I remember last week I was

1445
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: giving you guys the Leader, So every week I will

1446
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: update you on what position group is in lead and

1447
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: the corners they're still in the lead. Corners, defensive backs.

1448
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: That's who people think the Bills are going to take

1449
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,720
Speaker 1: with that thirtieth overall pick. Out of the ninety one

1450
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: mock drafts that we have tracked, nineteen people think that

1451
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: we are going to draft a corner out of this group.

1452
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: There was only one corner mocks to us though, out

1453
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: of this group which I don't know how many we track,

1454
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: maybe it was twelve. Again it was eleven or twelve,

1455
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: so out of that number for this last crop, the

1456
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: leader was edge rusher. We had one, two, three, four five.

1457
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 1: People thought we were going to draft an edge rusher

1458
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 1: out of this crop. So edge rusher, how many people?

1459
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 1: How many put this time? Five five, one two, three, nope,

1460
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: four four, So they led, so our second. So if

1461
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: corner is first, nineteen overall nineteen overall, offensive tackle and

1462
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: edge are tied for second soft fifteen each. An edge

1463
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: rusher led for the latest seven point zero four people

1464
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: thought we were going to take an edge rusher with

1465
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: the number thirty pick what's picked up. Also in the

1466
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: last couple ones are trades. It's not a big number,

1467
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: but as of the last couple weeks, there have been

1468
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: three people who think that we're going to do a trade,

1469
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: whether that's up or down. So that's been a little

1470
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 1: bit more popular than when we first started tracking these

1471
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: in January and dub because I feel like trades only

1472
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,879
Speaker 1: start getting put on mock drafts as we get closer

1473
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: to the NFL Draft and as people start to learn

1474
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Running back is in third place.

1475
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: Fourteen people think that we're going to take a running

1476
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: back At number thirty two people mocked us a running

1477
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: back out of the latest mock draft that tied with

1478
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: linebacker and offensive tackle. Two people thought we were going

1479
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: to take linebacker. Two people think that we're going to

1480
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: take an offensive tackle from the last group that we've

1481
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: tracked in seven point zero. Which was interesting to see

1482
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: two people mock us a linebacker even when you know

1483
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: Matt Milano is resigned. But that's not shying people away

1484
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: of who maybe will be available at number thirty. And

1485
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: for example, Chris Trepasso from CBS Sports thinks that we

1486
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: could maybe take Jeremiah Ousu Cormora out of Notre Dame

1487
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: with that number thirty pick. That is someone who I

1488
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: would be elated if he was on our team. I

1489
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: love his tape. I really like what I saw from

1490
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: him in the interview that he had his availability during

1491
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: his pro day or right before Notre Dame's Pro day.

1492
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 1: I think he is a phenomenal talent that can do

1493
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. And with defenses now in

1494
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, you are talking about position list players, and

1495
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: he is someone who can be that and who can

1496
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 1: do that. You see him dropping into coverage there. He

1497
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: can even rush the quarterback, pick up a couple of sacks.

1498
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: He is your powerful linebacker who and also be used

1499
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: in a big nickel role in certain downs. I just

1500
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: love what he can offer. I love the speed that

1501
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: he plays with the tenacity. So I'm a big fan

1502
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: of this guy. And we broke him down really early on,

1503
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: and I was basically salivating explaining how amazing he was,

1504
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 1: and Chris Brown was like, Maddie, he is not going

1505
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: to be there at number thirties. Stop getting excited about

1506
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:28,839
Speaker 1: this player. He might not be. But you can certainly

1507
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 1: see that the the logic or the reasoning behind the

1508
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:41,640
Speaker 1: Bills taking a guy like h So because he's the

1509
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: perfect kind of athlete to stick on as a third

1510
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: linebacker with Milano and Edmonds, and then you got a

1511
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 1: chance to cover a couple of tight ends in New England. Right.

1512
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,560
Speaker 1: Love that it makes some sense that way, where you

1513
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: wouldn't put another defensive back in, you'd put a bigger

1514
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: guy out there who's a linebacker type. Although he only

1515
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:03,719
Speaker 1: ways you know, two fifteen to twenty undersized linebacker. Buddy's

1516
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: an athlete enough to match up with a tight end

1517
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: and then still hold up in the running game. So

1518
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: that kind of reasoning goes a long way with me.

1519
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,600
Speaker 1: You need an athlete that can run and cover like

1520
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: a Matt Milano. And you know Coramora could do that.

1521
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 1: So I see that reasoning big time and that's it

1522
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:26,600
Speaker 1: makes some sense. But like Brownie says, at thirty, he

1523
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: may not be there. Yeah. The other linebacker was Zaven

1524
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: Collins from Tulsa. He's been mocked to us four or

1525
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: five times. I haven't watched much tape on him yet.

1526
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: We haven't broken him down yet, so maybe we'll do

1527
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,760
Speaker 1: that within the next couple weeks. But we wanted to

1528
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: focus on in this group in the seven point zero

1529
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Mocked Draft Watch. We wanted to look at some of

1530
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: the defensive linemen that have been mocked to us. We're

1531
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,759
Speaker 1: gonna look at two edge rushers and a defensive tackle.

1532
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:58,480
Speaker 1: Let's start with the defensive tackle. His name is Christian Barmore.

1533
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: And this is somebody who we turned the tape on

1534
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 1: this morning, you and I and we were like, who

1535
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: this is a football player? So this kid is six

1536
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: four three ten, He's a redshirt sophomore. So he has

1537
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,719
Speaker 1: a lot left in his tank with what he showed

1538
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: at Alabama being so young and the physicality that he

1539
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: has in the production that he had. Wow, I think

1540
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,720
Speaker 1: this guy has a lot of upside. He played in

1541
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: twelve games last year, had nine and a half TFLs,

1542
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: eight sacks, three passes defense, three forced fumbles. I think

1543
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:35,560
Speaker 1: he is one big, powerful dude. Double teams, no problems.

1544
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Christian Moore has got them and he will beat them.

1545
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: He is insane in his gaps. He can shoot the

1546
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: gap like a boss. Yeah, he's explosive. He's a big dude,

1547
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 1: six five three ten, he's young, he's got a fast motor.

1548
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: He played well against very good competition. He had sustained

1549
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: effort on plays. He was running guys down. He was

1550
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: he was helped, you know, making motor plays and effort plays,

1551
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: which is something you really want to see from a

1552
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,840
Speaker 1: big dude. And he was running things down from behind.

1553
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: So really really had a lot going on with him.

1554
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: And if the three guys we were talking about, the

1555
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 1: three guys were talking about Christian Barmore, Quitty Pay and

1556
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Carlos Basham, this is the guy like the best too.

1557
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: I like Christian Barmore a lot in this He's big,

1558
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: and he's got a fast motor, played at a high

1559
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: level against really good competition, and he's young. He's got

1560
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: a great upside. So I think he's got a chance

1561
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,600
Speaker 1: to be a difference making for Buffalo and and I

1562
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 1: think he might be there at thirty. Although defensive tackles,

1563
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean they're almost like quarterbacks him. You got a

1564
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: good one, you gotta you need him, and they're hard

1565
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: to come by, so we'll see. Yeah, I like him

1566
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: in this group. That's the guy. Yeah, me too. And

1567
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: do we need one? I mean, we just drafted At

1568
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: Oliver in the first round pretty high up two years ago.

1569
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Is that a need for us right now? That's a

1570
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 1: good questioner. He is a different player, and I really

1571
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: like what we saw in the short amount of tape

1572
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: that we watched on him. And he's only played in

1573
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: twenty four games. And when you see someone put that

1574
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: type of tape out there in just twenty four games,

1575
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 1: I think that says a lot about what their future

1576
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: could hold. So that's the guy that we were like, yes,

1577
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: sign me up for. Let's get into our edge. Rusher

1578
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay, who is from Michigan. Now, this is a

1579
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: guy who people are saying is going to go way

1580
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 1: higher than number thirty. So to get Quitty Pay, this

1581
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 1: mock draft has us trading away some of our first

1582
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: of course, trading away number thirty and let me get

1583
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: to the mock draft and find out where we're going

1584
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: to trade him away too. But I believe we're going

1585
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: to trade our number thirty and we were going to

1586
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: let's see if I can find this here. Scrolling, scrolling, Okay,

1587
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:03,639
Speaker 1: So Pro Football Network says that to get Quitty Pay,

1588
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 1: this edge rusher from Michigan, we would trade our number thirty,

1589
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 1: our number sixty one, and a third round pick in

1590
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to the Arizona Cardinals for the number

1591
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: sixteenth pick. So we would get this guy number sixteen,

1592
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: and I know he seems like he has a lot

1593
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: of upside. Sixteen is pretty high to move up for

1594
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: this guy. I don't know if I was as sold

1595
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 1: on Quitty Pay as I was on Christian Barmore. So,

1596
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay is a senior. He's sixty three, two hundred

1597
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 1: and sixty one pounds, played in four games in twenty twenty,

1598
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:40,479
Speaker 1: had four TFLs two sacks, and four years he's had

1599
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 1: twenty three and a half TFLs, eleven and a half sacks.

1600
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 1: He's an explosive guy. He's got some pep in his step.

1601
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:49,759
Speaker 1: When he hits, he hits hard. He has good speed

1602
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 1: for his size, for being in that two sixty range there,

1603
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: I think he has a good form when he tackles.

1604
01:24:56,520 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: He only had nineteen college starts and he's the senior,

1605
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: so this is a little bit different than And I

1606
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: know Christian Barmore and Quitty Pay played two different positions,

1607
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: but Christian Barmore had twenty four games that he played

1608
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: in Quitty Pay only started in nineteen. I think he

1609
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 1: can improve a lot more, But I don't know if

1610
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: it makes sense moving up to number sixteen, and if

1611
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: you had to give away sixty one and third round

1612
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: from next year, I'm not sure if that makes sense

1613
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 1: for this team. For me, from what we've been talking about,

1614
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: I would trade up for Barmore before i'd trade up

1615
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: for Quitty Pay. I would get up to sixteen if

1616
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: if that deal was on the table, I would trade

1617
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: those picks to go up and get Christian Barmore before

1618
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: I would trade up and get give those picks up

1619
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: for Quitty Pay. I like Barmore that much better. If

1620
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Barmore is going to be there at thirty, I would

1621
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: almost trade up to sixteen to get him rather than

1622
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay. I think. I think while he does have

1623
01:25:55,320 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: some attributes to sixty three two sixty one, he's got

1624
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: some burst off, You've got some speed coming off the edge.

1625
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: But you know there are other the other two guys

1626
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about here, I think Quitty Pays the one.

1627
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: I think it is of the three. He's ranked number three. Yeah,

1628
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 1: so I would not trade up to sixteen for Quitty Pay.

1629
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: I would for Barmore because of what I've seen, but

1630
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: not Quitty Pay. And I think Quitty Pay has has

1631
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: jumped up on the draft stock because of his pro day.

1632
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: He had a really good pro day, so it's it's

1633
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: a tale of his pro day was phenomenal, but when

1634
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,520
Speaker 1: you go to the tape, it's a little bit underwhelming,

1635
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: but you do see like there's a lot of potential

1636
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 1: there and with the right coach, he could be worth

1637
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,600
Speaker 1: it high up in the draft. We can quickly go

1638
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: through one more. It's our edge rusher, Carlos Basham Junior

1639
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: from Wake Force, and this is a guy who's been

1640
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: mocked to us in the first round and in the

1641
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: second round, so we've kind of seen him fly all

1642
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: over the place and when the Bills could maybe draft

1643
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:00,799
Speaker 1: him at He's a red shirt senior, so in older senior.

1644
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 1: He's sixty three two eighty one pounds. He played in

1645
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 1: seven games in twenty twenty, had twenty eight total tackles,

1646
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:10,680
Speaker 1: five and a half TFLs and five sacks. This kid

1647
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: has strong hands. He can run two when the play

1648
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: gets away from him, if it's ten feet away from him,

1649
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 1: he is has quick feet to get right to where

1650
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:24,560
Speaker 1: he needs to be. He does not give up. This

1651
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: is an athletic type build, an athletic body. I really

1652
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: like his effort that he shows on his tape. What

1653
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: do you think about him when you see him? Because

1654
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 1: I like this guy a little bit. I liked him

1655
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot. And the thing it's crazy because he did

1656
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 1: he had a very fast motor. He was he was dynamic.

1657
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: He had really good hand use. I thought. I thought

1658
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 1: he got his body into position and when he got

1659
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 1: shut off on one one route, he would take a

1660
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: hard route the other way. I mean. And the only

1661
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:56,640
Speaker 1: thing and the thing that's jumped out about him to

1662
01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: me make some plays and he didn't celebrate. He's celebrated

1663
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 1: once in a while, but a lot of the plays

1664
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: I saw him highlight reel, he got up and walked off.

1665
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't a big deality make a tackle.

1666
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm just line up and play again. I like that

1667
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, but as you see, there's sometimes when

1668
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman get their hands on him, it's too

1669
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: much for him. Um I say this, I like him

1670
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: as much as I like Quitty pay so the two,

1671
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: if not more so. Yeah, if you're talking to me

1672
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: about the three guys were we that have been drafted

1673
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: that have been mocked to us. Christian Barmore fifty three ten.

1674
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 1: He's a sophomore big interior defensive lineman. He's got really

1675
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 1: good hands, a fast motor, is explosive off the ball,

1676
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: and a high effort player. That's all the boxes I need. Check.

1677
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 1: If you're gonna trade up to get a guy, I'm

1678
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 1: all in with him. Yeah, that's fine with me. There

1679
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 1: may be other guys that you trade up to get.

1680
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: That's one of them. Sign me up. We've got to

1681
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, we'll dip

1682
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 1: back into the tweet sheet. We've gotten another guest coming up,

1683
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 1: Fad Brown here at two o'clock, So stick with us. Here.

1684
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalidah Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1685
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 1: Welcome back into One Bills Live. Maddie Glab Steve Tasker. Here,

1686
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about everything surrounding the NFL Draft. We just

1687
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:35,760
Speaker 1: went through our most recent mock draft watch a seven

1688
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 1: point o version eight point zero is going to come

1689
01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: out this weekend. We broke down a couple defensive linemen

1690
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 1: who have been mocked to the Buffalo Bills and our

1691
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,600
Speaker 1: fan of a fan of a couple of them. But

1692
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 1: we want to dip back into the tweet sheet here,

1693
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: and our question was, other than a quarterback, what position

1694
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: should be off the table for the Bills at pick

1695
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 1: number thirty. Is it a wide receiver, a running back,

1696
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:03,760
Speaker 1: a safety, a linebacker? What position would you be a

1697
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 1: little bit irked about if the Bills chose them at

1698
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 1: number thirty. So we'll get back into the tweet sheet

1699
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:12,879
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1700
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. And I believe we

1701
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 1: left off at Tyler. So Tyler says, wide receiver is

1702
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 1: so beyond set for right now. If possible, it's best

1703
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 1: to go for an immediate starter or impact player round one,

1704
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: which is why I'm fine picking a running back if

1705
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 1: it's Etn or Harris, so Nase Harris from Alabama, or

1706
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 1: you've got Etn from LSU, especially that late in the round. Yeah,

1707
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's certainly. Yeah, it's an interesting I just

1708
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 1: thought about it. If you're looking for a position where

1709
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:57,719
Speaker 1: a player could come in and make an impact, certainly

1710
01:30:57,760 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 1: we like to talk about corner, Okay, So if it's

1711
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,759
Speaker 1: if it's not corner, the next and I say, finger quote,

1712
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 1: the easiest place is running back. Um, you got Zack Moss,

1713
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:15,840
Speaker 1: Delt Singletary, Devin Singletary, both those guys third round picks.

1714
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,160
Speaker 1: Neither one of them has the high end speed. They're

1715
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 1: both okay size. Zach Moss's is, you know, fifteen twenty

1716
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 1: pounds heavier than Singletary and has that physical style of running.

1717
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: But neither one of them is the fast, busted open

1718
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 1: kind of running back. However too, I mean, Maddie, we

1719
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 1: I sat here and I'll say it again, I don't

1720
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: care if they run the ball more. I don't. I

1721
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:39,760
Speaker 1: don't want them to run the ball. I wanted to

1722
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 1: throw the ball more. They're good at that, they're hard

1723
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: to defend at that. All you need your running back

1724
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,679
Speaker 1: to be is just a guy that takes the attention.

1725
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta watch now if you do get

1726
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: a guy who can take a bad play and make

1727
01:31:56,520 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: it into a fantastic play, or can you know, make

1728
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:02,560
Speaker 1: a guy miss two yards deep in the backfield like

1729
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:05,280
Speaker 1: we see once in a while and go for fifteen

1730
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: or twenty make a defense? They man, oh man, they

1731
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 1: got to start with him every once in a while, because,

1732
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 1: let's face it, never does a defense in the Buffalo

1733
01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 1: Bills start with the guy at the running back position.

1734
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,639
Speaker 1: They start with Digs. Then they go to Josh Allen,

1735
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,640
Speaker 1: then they go to Cole Beasley, John Brown. They go

1736
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 1: down and then somewhere down the line, they go, oh yeah,

1737
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:27,519
Speaker 1: we got a running back. Who's the running who's guarding

1738
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,800
Speaker 1: the running back? So if you've got a guy, if

1739
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 1: you can put a guy out there that says once

1740
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 1: in a while, the defense goes, all right, let's start

1741
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 1: with the running back. Okay, that's different. Even if they're

1742
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 1: not gonna give it to him, the defense has to

1743
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 1: go all right, that's the guy that puts you in

1744
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 1: a different spot offensively, and that's a help without ever

1745
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 1: giving him the ball I'll say it again, I don't

1746
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 1: care if they give it. They can draft anybody they want.

1747
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't care if they give him the ball. Ain't

1748
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: draft Earl Campbell? Yeah, role maybe winding about not getting

1749
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:01,800
Speaker 1: enough carries in my off right in this offense. Yeah,

1750
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 1: So everything's different these days. So I'm you know, I

1751
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:08,640
Speaker 1: get it. If they can find a guy like that.

1752
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you sit back there and here's a defense. You're saying, Okay,

1753
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 1: let's start with the running back this time. They don't

1754
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: do that right now, defenses. So yeah, could it be

1755
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Travis Etian out to Clemson or could it be Naj

1756
01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Harris out of Alabama. We will see if it could

1757
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 1: be a running back. But we're going to take another break.

1758
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: When we come back. Friend of the show, Dad Brown

Speaker 1: We're not even in the streaded fears of normalcy. Welcome

1767
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: back into One Bills Live. We are in our final

1768
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,240
Speaker 1: hour of the show. It's flown by because we have

1769
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:28,599
Speaker 1: been yapping about the NFL Draft for two straight hours

1770
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 1: and I love it because this is the stuff that

1771
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 1: I nerd out on. And to help us nerd out

1772
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: on some more stuff, we've got Thad Brown w RO

1773
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:41,719
Speaker 1: OCTV sports director. He's the Bills preseason TV sideline reporter,

1774
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: friend of the show, and we wanted an outside element

1775
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 1: of today's show, and so Thad is bringing that to us,

1776
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:52,560
Speaker 1: reporting live from outside, where he says the weather is

1777
01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:56,639
Speaker 1: just a one amazing. So we're glad that you're outside

1778
01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 1: because we we wish that we were outside right now. Hey, guys,

1779
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 1: live hits from my deck are not something we usually

1780
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:05,320
Speaker 1: do in the pre draft section of the season, but

1781
01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 1: it is fantastically got right now and I'm taking advantage

1782
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 1: every second of it right now. You definitely should be

1783
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. And we're going to start in

1784
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 1: free agency here and kind of go through, you know,

1785
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:18,640
Speaker 1: the last month and a half that the Bills have

1786
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:20,479
Speaker 1: been through and how it sets them up for the

1787
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: NFL Draft here as it approaches quickly twenty one days away.

1788
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:26,800
Speaker 1: Do you think the Bills made the right move in

1789
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 1: resigning their own to improve in twenty twenty one and

1790
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 1: being able to resign so many of their own I

1791
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:35,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of us did not expect that was

1792
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 1: capable based on the salary cap and also based on

1793
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 1: what some of our guys were worth and how they

1794
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: were willing to take some pay cuts to stay here.

1795
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaker 1: I think it really was a sensible play, you know.

1796
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 1: I think Brandon being looked at a situation and figured, look,

1797
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a whole lot of salary cap room

1798
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,160
Speaker 1: to sell it a guy, So what else do I have? Well,

1799
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 1: I have culture. I have a team in an organization,

1800
01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 1: in a locker room, the guys that could be a

1801
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 1: part of what guys are most likely to buy into that.

1802
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 1: Guys who have already been there, Guys who already have

1803
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:05,599
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. So let's go to those guys and see

1804
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 1: if I can bring my team back together and put

1805
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 1: together another product on the field that was close, maybe

1806
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:12,760
Speaker 1: a little bit better than what I had last year.

1807
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 1: And doing that with his own guys, I think it

1808
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,599
Speaker 1: was gonna be you know, the best play, and there's

1809
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,080
Speaker 1: no doubt that this Bills team, I think on paper,

1810
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:21,680
Speaker 1: they're no worse than they were last year. I mean,

1811
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 1: they looked like a twelve thirteen win team. They're certainly

1812
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 1: a super Bowl contender, and that's not something that I

1813
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 1: thought we would have or the situation this team would

1814
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 1: be in, you know, the first week of April, two

1815
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: or three weeks before the draft. That being said, if

1816
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 1: it were me, I think I would have spent a

1817
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:38,600
Speaker 1: lot of money on a pass rusher. I think I

1818
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: would have taken the Matt Milano money. I would have

1819
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 1: put it into a guy like Carl Lawson, because I

1820
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:45,719
Speaker 1: think that's what a team that is going to compete

1821
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 1: for a super Bowl almost has to have. You need

1822
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 1: to be able to get to get to the other

1823
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 1: team's quarterback. And last year, you know that the Bills

1824
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 1: did not do it against Pat Mahomes. And even from

1825
01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:57,680
Speaker 1: a bigger picture, you know, this Bills team wasn't very

1826
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 1: competitive against the Chiefs in two. So if I were

1827
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 1: running the team, I would not have, you know, brought

1828
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 1: it all back and just gone with the same group.

1829
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: I would have tried to go and do something completely

1830
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:10,719
Speaker 1: different on defense, go with a better pass for a situation,

1831
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 1: even if it costs me Matt Malana what to live with.

1832
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean I'm right. Brandon Bean has made a

1833
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of right decisions and very likely will be more

1834
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 1: right than I am. But if you're asking me, I

1835
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:22,479
Speaker 1: really wanted the Bills to get a pass runcher this officer,

1836
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:24,679
Speaker 1: what do you what impact do you think the Emmanuel

1837
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Sanders for John Brown switch out will do any is

1838
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:31,679
Speaker 1: it will be significant? I think so. I think Sanders

1839
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 1: is more dependable that John Brown certainly was, you know,

1840
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 1: last season and towards the latter half of his Bill's

1841
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:38,640
Speaker 1: tenure there. So I think you'll have a guy that

1842
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 1: the Bills can count on will be on the field.

1843
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:42,879
Speaker 1: You knows, as we hear a lot from Sean McDermott

1844
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: the best abilities, dependability, and availability. So I think he's

1845
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: a guy's going to be available. I think he's a

1846
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 1: little better route runner than John Brown was. I think

1847
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,400
Speaker 1: Brown was a little more electric down the field, whereas

1848
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:56,120
Speaker 1: Sanders is one of the most widely respected route technicians

1849
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And I gotta think when you got

1850
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,600
Speaker 1: a guy like Gabriel Davis in the building, not that

1851
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 1: he needs more education or good examples for Stefan Diggs

1852
01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley already there, but I think Sanders will

1853
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: be a help in that department as well. So I

1854
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: think Sanders is a little bit better than John Brown,

1855
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:12,640
Speaker 1: a little older, a little less electric, but I think

1856
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:15,919
Speaker 1: overall just certainly a bit of an upbring. Another offensive

1857
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 1: edition that the Buffalo Bills made was signing running back

1858
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 1: Matt Breta. And he's someone who fits into the size

1859
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 1: type that we have with our running backs, you know,

1860
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 1: a little bit shorter, but man, this guy has some

1861
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: speed and can offer something a little bit different at

1862
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 1: times and in different downs than what Devin Singletary and

1863
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: Zach Moss might be able to offer. And we saw

1864
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:41,280
Speaker 1: him with the Dolphins. Unfortunately, probably didn't get the snaps

1865
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 1: that he wanted. But when we talked to him over

1866
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 1: over Zoom, he said he's not about counting the snaps

1867
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 1: who are wanting a bigger role than he was given.

1868
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 1: He's about being a part of the team and the culture,

1869
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 1: and all he wants to do is win games. How

1870
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:56,800
Speaker 1: do you see him fitting into a running back room

1871
01:38:56,880 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 1: that could be pretty crowded this year? I think more

1872
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: than likely he's gonna end up being the third running back,

1873
01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 1: the TJ. Yelden type, for lack of a better term.

1874
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:09,639
Speaker 1: He certainly brings a dimension that Singletary and Moss don't

1875
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:12,719
Speaker 1: have and that home run hitting, you know, speed value.

1876
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:14,599
Speaker 1: But you know, keep in mind you talk about him

1877
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 1: not getting snaps. He lost out on snaps last year

1878
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 1: to a seventh round pick and an undrafted free agent.

1879
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 1: He lost out on snaps in San Francisco to another

1880
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent, a guy who had been a journeyman,

1881
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 1: who had bounced around the league a few times, and

1882
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:28,639
Speaker 1: for he mosted and Breeda had a chance. It wasn't

1883
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: like this guy who was an unknown having to fight

1884
01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 1: his way up the whole way. You know, he was

1885
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 1: quickly a starter in San Francisco, but lost that starting

1886
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 1: job almost as quickly. So I think counting on him

1887
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:39,639
Speaker 1: or expecting him to have a huge impact this year

1888
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 1: might be asking too much. But certainly, as a third

1889
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:45,599
Speaker 1: back who can do something different, who's a quality receiver,

1890
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, this is the guy that can offer you

1891
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 1: some things. And you know, everybody is signed doesn't have

1892
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:51,320
Speaker 1: to be one of the best twenty guys on the

1893
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:53,519
Speaker 1: football team. You know, you got to carry fifty three.

1894
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,800
Speaker 1: If Matt Brita Bills in roll thirty seven, that's still

1895
01:39:56,840 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: a valuable addition to the Bills. Is there any moves

1896
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:02,840
Speaker 1: that the Bills have made this offseason that you think, well,

1897
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, I've kind of flown under the radar, maybe

1898
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: didn't get all the headlines that you thought was pretty shrewd.

1899
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 1: I like the Mitch Trubisky signing a lot, and certainly,

1900
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 1: the more I think about it, I think the Bills

1901
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,880
Speaker 1: had an opportunity here. It seemed like Trubisky looked at

1902
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo as almost like a QB rehab place. He didn't

1903
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 1: take probably as much money as he could have gotten

1904
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 1: somewhere else. He's certainly he's not going to a team

1905
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 1: where he has a chance to compete for a starting role,

1906
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 1: which I think there were a few places where he

1907
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: would have had that opportunity. So it seemed like Trubisky's

1908
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 1: coming to Buffalo, take a one year deal, try and

1909
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:36,800
Speaker 1: get better, try and rehab the image, and then move

1910
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,800
Speaker 1: on if that works. And I know, look, there's some

1911
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:42,240
Speaker 1: practicality issues with that. You know, for that the work,

1912
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 1: Trubisky's got to play and if he plays, and Josh

1913
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,759
Speaker 1: Allen's not playing, and that's bad, and any rehab situation

1914
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 1: will involve Brian Dable being his coach. And if Brian

1915
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:52,679
Speaker 1: Dable goes somewhere else the year after as a head coach,

1916
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:54,640
Speaker 1: then this idea kind of goes out the window. But

1917
01:40:55,160 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 1: if it works, then all of a sudden, Buffalo becomes

1918
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: the place for good but not great quarterbacks to kind

1919
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 1: of show up, do a year, get better, and it

1920
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 1: allows Buffalo to have their pick of the best backup

1921
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks not that much money can buy. And what a

1922
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:14,680
Speaker 1: spot that is to be in. I mean, it's hard

1923
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 1: to find one good quarterback, let alone too. And if

1924
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:20,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo is the spot where high level backups want to

1925
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:23,080
Speaker 1: go and want to play for maybe unless they gets

1926
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 1: somewhere else, that could be a huge, huge advantage. If

1927
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: it works out with your Bisky and Buffalo this year.

1928
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 1: I love the move. I thought it was so smart.

1929
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 1: Earlier this week on the show, I said, I think

1930
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 1: we have the best backup quarterback in the NFL, someone

1931
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,840
Speaker 1: with years of starting experience who can come in and

1932
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 1: hopefully improve him his game more in the practice than

1933
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 1: actually on the field in a game. Because we want

1934
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen healthy all season, of course, But when we

1935
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:49,840
Speaker 1: go through these moves in the free agency moves that

1936
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:52,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills have made in the last month and

1937
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:56,200
Speaker 1: a half, where does your list end up with what

1938
01:41:56,360 --> 01:42:00,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills still need as we sit here April eighth,

1939
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 1: with the draft on April twenty nine, what's at the

1940
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,760
Speaker 1: top of the List's what's maybe number three on the

1941
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 1: list for you? Well, I said day one, after the

1942
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 1: Bills were elimited, I thought, okay, what are the Bills

1943
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 1: got to do going in the next year? And my

1944
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 1: one and two needs were pass rusher in tight end

1945
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 1: and buffalo they are yet to address either one because

1946
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,720
Speaker 1: we discussed earlier that they felt their best play was

1947
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: to bring back the guys they had. So those are

1948
01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:26,320
Speaker 1: the two spots. And certainly, Pat, like you want to

1949
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:28,560
Speaker 1: ask me, number three is it's pass rusher again? And

1950
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 1: then four is probably a pass rusher. Also, they need

1951
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 1: guys who get after the quarterback. Now, is it possible

1952
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 1: that the Bills already have the guys who are going

1953
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 1: to improve their pass rushing? Certainly? I mean the last

1954
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,719
Speaker 1: two years in the draft, the first pick the Bills

1955
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 1: made was a pass rusher at Oliver and then a

1956
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 1: GF and ess. So if the play for the Bills

1957
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:50,720
Speaker 1: in terms of getting to the quarterback is hopeully those

1958
01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:53,799
Speaker 1: guys improved, I can understand that because from a bigger picture,

1959
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:55,880
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna signed Josh Allen to a big

1960
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:58,640
Speaker 1: contract pretty soon. That means the days of going out

1961
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 1: and spending a lot of money in freeing, Y're probably

1962
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,280
Speaker 1: just about over. Buffalo going forward is going to be

1963
01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: a team that has to count on they're younger guys

1964
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: and their draft picks to make up what they can

1965
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 1: afford because they don't have the salary case cap space

1966
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:15,080
Speaker 1: for it. So a young guy like Epinessa developing into

1967
01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:17,560
Speaker 1: a legit pass rusher at Oliver getting back to a

1968
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:19,760
Speaker 1: little more of what we saw year one of being

1969
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:22,599
Speaker 1: a guy who really claps the pocket and create issues

1970
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 1: in the middle, that might be the play. But either way,

1971
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, there's no doubt in my mind, and everything

1972
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: being equal, I want to see pick thirty be a

1973
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:32,680
Speaker 1: pass rusher because this is something the Bills desperately need

1974
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:34,800
Speaker 1: to take that next step and if they and is

1975
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 1: there any movie, so, if if there's any other position

1976
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 1: that you would be okay with him taking what would

1977
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,720
Speaker 1: that be. See, the thing about pick thirty is, I

1978
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna find, in general a guy down

1979
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 1: there you can count on to be impact year one.

1980
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: Good chance you get one, but but not something you

1981
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 1: can count on it. So I don't I think the

1982
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: Bills go straight best player available because I don't look

1983
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:58,240
Speaker 1: at pick thirty or even the second and third round

1984
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:00,720
Speaker 1: pick this year as guys who are primarily going to

1985
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 1: help in twenty twenty one. I look at it as

1986
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 1: Brandon bean is building his next core. The young guys

1987
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 1: they're going to count on and maybe build around to

1988
01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 1: a degree for the twenty two season or twenty three season,

1989
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:13,839
Speaker 1: twenty four season. So if you want to go interior

1990
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 1: your line, but which you've got some guys on shorter

1991
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: contracts Mitch Morse, you know, we don't know how much

1992
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:19,639
Speaker 1: longer he's gonna be in the league, or would the Bills.

1993
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,800
Speaker 1: I could see that happening interior defensive line for that matter.

1994
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: Star Lotule, he's coming back this year, but he's on

1995
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: the wrong side of thirty even really anywhere on the

1996
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,719
Speaker 1: D line. And I know that there's been talk about

1997
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 1: the running back and Travis Etn and look, if he's

1998
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:35,000
Speaker 1: the best guy available, I have no problem with that pick,

1999
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: not generally a running back first round guy. But again,

2000
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: you're building for the future. You're building what's gonna look

2001
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,040
Speaker 1: good long term, not what's gonna look good, you know,

2002
01:44:43,120 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 1: in the next eight to twelve months or the next

2003
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 1: seventeen games. I like that take on looking at long

2004
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:51,479
Speaker 1: term rather than right now, because I think a lot

2005
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 1: of US c number thirty and we think, I really

2006
01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 1: hope there's a player there who can make an immediate impact,

2007
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 1: because we need someone who can immediately help on this team,

2008
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:03,800
Speaker 1: to immediately make us to get us to the super

2009
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:05,680
Speaker 1: Bowl this season. I think that's where a lot of

2010
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 1: our heads are at. And sometimes my head is at

2011
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:11,080
Speaker 1: two seeing these mock drafts and watching some film on

2012
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 1: these guys and thinking, Okay, well, if he's at thirty,

2013
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: then maybe he can make an impact right away. But

2014
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:18,240
Speaker 1: we were having this conversation earlier on the show, and

2015
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 1: this year is not going to be just your do

2016
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:25,560
Speaker 1: it all or die year, because they have set this

2017
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 1: up for years to come. If this was their do

2018
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: it all year, Brandon Bean would have spent a lot

2019
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: more in free agency, even with the low salary cap number,

2020
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 1: he might have gone out there and made some big

2021
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 1: swings so that you could have it all this year.

2022
01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 1: But it's obviously it's obvious that he's setting this up

2023
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: for years to come. In your list of things that

2024
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 1: you want the Bills to address, I didn't hear a

2025
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,920
Speaker 1: cornerback there. What's your take on a corner at number

2026
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,479
Speaker 1: thirty or a corner in free agency or are you

2027
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 1: happy with what the Bills have at that position right now?

2028
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: Team Dane Jackson, I am driving that bus. I'm the

2029
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,720
Speaker 1: leader of the bandwagon, and if the Bills, if the

2030
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: Bills had signed a big money cornerback, I would have

2031
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 1: criticized the move. If they draft the guy at pick thirty.

2032
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:13,679
Speaker 1: Now there's a few guys I really like someone falls,

2033
01:46:13,760 --> 01:46:16,240
Speaker 1: like a Caleb Farley, that'd be a different situation. But

2034
01:46:16,360 --> 01:46:19,720
Speaker 1: in general, if they, in my opinion, waste a first

2035
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: round pick on a corner with Dane Jackson on the team,

2036
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 1: I will not like it. I think Dane Jackson play.

2037
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 1: I was incredibly impressed, as I'm sure it sounds, with

2038
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 1: the way he showed in a couple of games he

2039
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:31,839
Speaker 1: played last year. I think he is easily the answer

2040
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: as the second corner in this team. I'm okay with

2041
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 1: le By Wallace's depth. You want to add a corner,

2042
01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, a third fourth round for depth, sure that

2043
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:40,599
Speaker 1: that probably makes sense just about every year, maybe even

2044
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 1: add another vetteran chiefly if they can get it. And

2045
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 1: I think there's you know, plenty of freeting is available.

2046
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 1: But in terms of the number two guy, if the

2047
01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 1: Bills use a high asset trying to address that spot

2048
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:53,200
Speaker 1: with Dane Jackson the team, I personally be very unhappy.

2049
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:55,680
Speaker 1: I love Dane Jackson and I think he's the guy

2050
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 1: that's going to be that second corner, not just this year,

2051
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,560
Speaker 1: for a long time. So I guess having said that,

2052
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,880
Speaker 1: this may you may have answered the question already. But

2053
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:04,720
Speaker 1: if it's not Dane Jackson, which you can say if

2054
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 1: it is or not, which other Buffalo Bill that's on

2055
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 1: the roster right now who's going to have a breakout

2056
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 1: season that maybe fan that is under the radar for

2057
01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:14,719
Speaker 1: the fans, you know, I want to say at Oliver,

2058
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if he counts, because he obviously he

2059
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 1: was pretty good as Ricky year. But to me, you know,

2060
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 1: as it stands, right, Now we'll see how the draft goes,

2061
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 1: and you never know if Brandon Bean pulls off a

2062
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 1: trader too. But at Oliver to me is the lynchpin

2063
01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: of this season in terms of getting to a super Bowl,

2064
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 1: because I'll go back to the Bills need a pass rush.

2065
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, you hear about edge rushers, and we think

2066
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:36,280
Speaker 1: about defensive ends of the primary pass rushers. But it's

2067
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:38,839
Speaker 1: almost get to the point now where the tackle is becoming,

2068
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: if not just an important role there, but more important

2069
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,800
Speaker 1: simply because they're closer to the quarterback and quarterbacks get

2070
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: the ball out so fast these days. And I still

2071
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 1: think at Oliver can be that terror in the middle,

2072
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 1: that terror at defensive tackle to where he can change game.

2073
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 1: He's not quite Aaron Donald, but you know, certainly whether

2074
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: the next level down is I think Oliver can get there,

2075
01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:00,200
Speaker 1: and whether or not he does get there, you know, again,

2076
01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:02,719
Speaker 1: maybe the difference between the Bills having a nice playoff

2077
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 1: run and you know, coming up a solid second place

2078
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:07,759
Speaker 1: to a team like Kansas City, or you know, finally

2079
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 1: achieving that super Bowl level that everybody hopes they can

2080
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 1: get to on this season. I want to dig into

2081
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 1: tight end too a little bit because that was on

2082
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:18,200
Speaker 1: your list of things that the Bills need to improve on.

2083
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: Do you believe that Dawson Knox that this can be

2084
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: his year? I know, his rookie season, we saw a

2085
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:26,519
Speaker 1: lot of potential, but we also saw those drops and

2086
01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:29,680
Speaker 1: then in his second season he gets hurt and then

2087
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:31,760
Speaker 1: it gets put on the COVID nineteen list. And so

2088
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 1: it's not like he was given this fair shot in

2089
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: year two. But when he was on the field, he

2090
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:39,640
Speaker 1: showed some glimpses of hope. But he also showed his

2091
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: same self from his rookie season and some drops that

2092
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:46,439
Speaker 1: were important in a game that maybe he could have

2093
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 1: helped win, or maybe he could have helped score more

2094
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,559
Speaker 1: points if he would have gotten his hands on the football.

2095
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:54,439
Speaker 1: Where do you see him in year three? And where

2096
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:56,920
Speaker 1: do you see this group as a whole, because you're right,

2097
01:48:57,040 --> 01:49:00,200
Speaker 1: it's not a group that has many people in it all.

2098
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:02,599
Speaker 1: Lee Smith is not on the team anymore, Tyler Croft

2099
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:05,000
Speaker 1: is not on the team anymore. You've got Dawson Knox,

2100
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney is going to be coming back too. But

2101
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:09,960
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on how tight end can improve?

2102
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 1: I think with Dawson Knox, you know I think we've

2103
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: seen enough in two years to kind of get a

2104
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:16,839
Speaker 1: feel of who's going to be. It's not it possible

2105
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:18,720
Speaker 1: that it takes a big step in your number three,

2106
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 1: but at this point, you know, I think Knox is

2107
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 1: just not consistent enough to be counted upon as a

2108
01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:26,759
Speaker 1: top level tight end weapon in the NFL. The potential

2109
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,880
Speaker 1: is there, the athleticism is there, and again he could

2110
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 1: break out. But the big problem young tight ends are

2111
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: gonna have in Buffalo is that you've got Digs and

2112
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 1: Beasley and now Sanders. You know how many targets are

2113
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: left with these guys to where they can, you know,

2114
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:42,880
Speaker 1: develop a little bit and get the reps and get

2115
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 1: the touches they need to get better. So I'm not

2116
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 1: overly optimistic. I will say I like Jacob Hollister in general.

2117
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 1: I think it was a solid move, But I don't

2118
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 1: think Hollis there's much different than Dawson Knox in terms of,

2119
01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, a big impact guy. And you know what,

2120
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:57,880
Speaker 1: maybe the Bills don't need the tight end to be

2121
01:49:57,880 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 1: a big impact guy. We love to see it. It's

2122
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:02,639
Speaker 1: not like the Bills have any trouble with the past

2123
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 1: catching group. They have already They've got three pretty darn

2124
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:08,160
Speaker 1: good guys to begin with, and we haven't even mentioned

2125
01:50:08,200 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis, who's certainly showing sides of promise in his

2126
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:14,360
Speaker 1: rookie years. So I'm not holding out. I'm not holding

2127
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:16,559
Speaker 1: my breath to see a big tight end explosion from

2128
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 1: the Bills this year, no matter who we're talking about.

2129
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 1: But it's not out of the question. How big a

2130
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:23,200
Speaker 1: difference do you think Week seventeen's gonna make for the

2131
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:26,600
Speaker 1: teams for the league? Do you think it'll is it

2132
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:28,559
Speaker 1: just kind of get thrown into the hat and kind

2133
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:30,880
Speaker 1: of just wash away, or do you think it's gonna

2134
01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:33,840
Speaker 1: be kind of a big deal. I don't think it's

2135
01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna be that big a deal from an on the

2136
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: field perspective. Not something that I think the fans are

2137
01:50:37,520 --> 01:50:39,840
Speaker 1: gonna notice. I bet the players notice, you know, and Steve,

2138
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 1: you'd be able to answer this. You know, think about

2139
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:44,400
Speaker 1: how you feel after sixteen games now, you know, make

2140
01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:47,080
Speaker 1: a ten percent worse. That's what the seventeen games season's

2141
01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna feel like. But in terms of the way it

2142
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 1: looks on the field, you know, you'll have a few

2143
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:54,800
Speaker 1: more injuries. Sure, it'll be weird. To think about, Wow,

2144
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 1: my team went six and eleven. This year, my team

2145
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:58,519
Speaker 1: went twelve and five. While all those things will will

2146
01:50:58,600 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 1: feel unusual for a little while and the season might

2147
01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 1: last a little longer. But you know, to me, this

2148
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:04,920
Speaker 1: is about one thing. It's about making more money. So

2149
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:07,240
Speaker 1: the NFL owners do number one, that's what they're good at.

2150
01:51:07,479 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 1: The league does, and this is just another part of

2151
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 1: adding a little more to the pocket if everybody who

2152
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 1: runs the NFL. I've got one more question for you,

2153
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: with it being just a couple of weeks away from

2154
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:22,600
Speaker 1: the draft here, and this can be answered in the

2155
01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:25,880
Speaker 1: draft or before the draft happens. What's the boldest move

2156
01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:28,080
Speaker 1: that you think the Bills could still make in the

2157
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 1: off season. I got a wild one for you, and

2158
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:34,600
Speaker 1: probably not likely to happen. And I know we just

2159
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 1: talked about the situation with Bill's young tight ends having

2160
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 1: trouble developing. But if Kyle Pitts slips pass like say

2161
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: pick seven or eight, I don't think it's gonna happen.

2162
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,479
Speaker 1: If I'm Brandon Bean, I find a team that's gonna

2163
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:48,240
Speaker 1: take my first round pick this year, next year, in

2164
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:51,040
Speaker 1: the year after, or maybe just two first and a third.

2165
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:53,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is going to be a game changer in

2166
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:56,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. I love this kid. Look, I think every

2167
01:51:56,760 --> 01:51:59,720
Speaker 1: team outside of Jacksonville should consider making him their first

2168
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 1: round pick, if that includes the Jets. I legitimately can

2169
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:05,600
Speaker 1: make an argument that Kyle Pitts and whatever quarterback the

2170
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:07,680
Speaker 1: Jets could find on the scrap, he would be a

2171
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,639
Speaker 1: better option than Zach Wilson and anything else the Jets get.

2172
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 1: This guy has got everything, speed, size, runs pretty good routes.

2173
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he just dominates. Jace t. Horne is one

2174
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 1: of the best corners, very physical in this draft, and

2175
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 1: there are reps where Pits just utterly owns him, especially

2176
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:26,479
Speaker 1: in a position like tight end. Well, there's what three

2177
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:29,080
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL who are real game changers. This

2178
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:32,439
Speaker 1: guy is gonna change whatever franchise lands him. And again,

2179
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:34,800
Speaker 1: if he starts to fall. Boy, if I'm Brandon being,

2180
01:52:34,840 --> 01:52:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone and I almost say to a team, look,

2181
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: here's what I have in terms of draft picks the

2182
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: next three years. Just check next to whatever you want.

2183
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:45,000
Speaker 1: I'll take you're pick. That's a lot of investment into

2184
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 1: a guy that's you know that I don't know. I

2185
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:49,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I don't know if I see a

2186
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:52,560
Speaker 1: player in this draft outside that would be worth it.

2187
01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:55,080
Speaker 1: I know he's a great player, and everybody thinks a

2188
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: tight end is gonna be awesome, and a lot of

2189
01:52:58,120 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 1: good teams that have won the Super Bowl seemed to

2190
01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 1: have a good tight end. But there are a lot

2191
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:05,719
Speaker 1: of teams that have pretty good tight ends that don't.

2192
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know that thrown away three ones or

2193
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:11,200
Speaker 1: two ones and a two or two twos and two ones.

2194
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's worth it for one guy,

2195
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:17,679
Speaker 1: because particularly since it's a position where so much depends

2196
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 1: on everything else around you. So and I get it.

2197
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:22,320
Speaker 1: This guy is, I mean, he's all of that and

2198
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:26,680
Speaker 1: he's but you know, so is Howard the tight end

2199
01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:28,559
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. Everybody thought he was going to be great.

2200
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis, everybody thought he was gonna be great. The

2201
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:35,360
Speaker 1: wall down in the in Arizona, same kind of thing.

2202
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:39,040
Speaker 1: Joan new Smith has that kind of athleticism. You go

2203
01:53:39,120 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 1: down the list of guys who and every time you

2204
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 1: look at a guy like that, the one thing that

2205
01:53:43,479 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 1: gets plugged in right beside him is underachiever. So you

2206
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: can't give that kind of assets up to a position

2207
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,479
Speaker 1: like that that depends on so much around him, and

2208
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 1: expect them to be able to live up to. It's

2209
01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: like overpaying for a free agent. But the sense I'm

2210
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 1: just saying, I think this guy is that much of

2211
01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 1: a game changer. Now, look, free ones probably too much,

2212
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking a legitimate I would I would

2213
01:54:06,800 --> 01:54:08,560
Speaker 1: offer with the Bills offer to Kansas City, though for

2214
01:54:08,720 --> 01:54:10,040
Speaker 1: to go from twenty seven to ten. I know that

2215
01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:13,240
Speaker 1: was for a quarterback. But I think Pitts can really

2216
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 1: be that much of a game changer. I mean, a

2217
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Florida half the routes, it looks like he's running. They

2218
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: tell him, look, just run down, feeling, turnaround, We'll throw

2219
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:22,760
Speaker 1: you the ball. He's been that dominant the college level,

2220
01:54:23,200 --> 01:54:25,000
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be almost, if not just

2221
01:54:25,120 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 1: as good as the NFL level. It'll be interesting to

2222
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,720
Speaker 1: see because if, if, certainly, if there's a team that

2223
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:32,200
Speaker 1: has that spot, like with a quarterback, I mean, you

2224
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 1: gotta have a guy that throwing it like the Bills.

2225
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 1: No question. If you got a guy like the Bills

2226
01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 1: or Kansas City or you know, justin Herbert in San Diego, whatever,

2227
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 1: you go down the list of guys have quarter Green Bay,

2228
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 1: you know those kind of teams. If you've got a

2229
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 1: guy that can get it there, it may be worth

2230
01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:51,920
Speaker 1: that kind of investment if you can get it out

2231
01:54:51,920 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 1: of it. I think the fashionating spot where that'll come

2232
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 1: up in the draft too. Steve Is is number five

2233
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati, especially quarterbacks. To go one through four. Do

2234
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals take Pitts, who could change one position, or

2235
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:04,640
Speaker 1: do they go with Jamar Chase, who's a former Joe

2236
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 1: Burrow teammate who a lot of people have right next

2237
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 1: to Pitts In terms of the draft order this year,

2238
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see what the Bengals think because

2239
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are probably gonna maybe let us

2240
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:19,240
Speaker 1: know what the league thinks about Pitts via our versus Chase. Three, four, five, six,

2241
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:23,280
Speaker 1: could be pretty interesting in this NFL draft. But Dad,

2242
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. Big Kyle Pitts fan,

2243
01:55:26,720 --> 01:55:29,640
Speaker 1: big Dane Jackson fan. I love it. We'll see if

2244
01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 1: any of that happens. I'm a I'm a big dat

2245
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:34,640
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson fan too. I believe in this kid as well,

2246
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:39,840
Speaker 1: so I like that. Take enjoy the rest of your afternoon. Outside.

2247
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:42,640
Speaker 1: I love that you're outside because it's so nice out.

2248
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 1: So thanks for being on. Thanks you guys. I probably

2249
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:47,840
Speaker 1: got some mulching or something to do, so that work now,

2250
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 1: but I'll enjoy it. That's Dad Brown, w r OC

2251
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,640
Speaker 1: TV sports director, and he had a lot of good

2252
01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 1: stuff to say. I know, I know he's you know,

2253
01:55:58,080 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 1: covering the same team that we do. But I love

2254
01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 1: having people on like him who um have different thoughts

2255
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:06,160
Speaker 1: and different takes on some of the players in the

2256
01:56:06,240 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 1: way that um Brandon Bean goes goes about his biz

2257
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 1: and has gone about his biz uh in free agency

2258
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:15,320
Speaker 1: in this offseason and I and you forget, it's been

2259
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:17,520
Speaker 1: so long since we had a preseason game. Thad's always

2260
01:56:17,520 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 1: on the broadcast of the preseason game, so I, you know,

2261
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:21,440
Speaker 1: I get a chance to run up against him. He's

2262
01:56:21,640 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 1: I like, what I like about him is he's like,

2263
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 1: go all in on this guy, or never do that,

2264
01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:31,000
Speaker 1: or he's he tends to like go to each end

2265
01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 1: of the spectrum. He's there's no mental ground with him.

2266
01:56:33,440 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 1: And you know, talking about Pitts the tight end out

2267
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:37,520
Speaker 1: of Florida, I get it. He's you know, get it

2268
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:39,760
Speaker 1: whatever you can get for him. You know, give whatever

2269
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,800
Speaker 1: you have to give to get him. Um. And you

2270
01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:44,480
Speaker 1: know some of the stuff he said about, you know,

2271
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 1: Pat getting you know, Bill's gotta get a password, you

2272
01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: gotta get a pass rusher all that. So he's that's

2273
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 1: kind of his his way of communicating it. And he

2274
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:53,880
Speaker 1: has some strong beliefs that you know, and obviously they're

2275
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:56,280
Speaker 1: pretty well informed as well. But that's one thing I

2276
01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 1: like about that. He's never at a loss for going

2277
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:01,640
Speaker 1: to one to the extreme or the other. It's good

2278
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:05,280
Speaker 1: for TV, good for radio. Yeah, doesn't doesn't go too

2279
01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 1: much in the middle, which is usually where some of

2280
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:10,320
Speaker 1: us I live. I'm like, yeah, I understand this. I

2281
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:12,080
Speaker 1: could see that. I could see that. I don't have

2282
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:17,160
Speaker 1: any strong opinions the overreaction and the over emphasis. I've

2283
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:20,440
Speaker 1: seen too many young players come out and be the

2284
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: next big thing that turned out not to be Um O. J.

2285
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:29,800
Speaker 1: Howard and Tampa Bay. He was that guy. He was

2286
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:34,080
Speaker 1: exactly that guy that Pitts is, you know, the hackburg

2287
01:57:35,160 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 1: Burg last Hackenburgh Hackenbush, the guy in the ten, the

2288
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:45,080
Speaker 1: Detroit tight end from Iowa last year. Um. There's guys

2289
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:47,560
Speaker 1: like that that have come out and there were gonna

2290
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 1: be phenomenal players and gonna be great, and too many

2291
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 1: times I've seen him come out and just be disappointing,

2292
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:58,680
Speaker 1: maybe not disappointing as a player, but disappointing in the

2293
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 1: expectations that were attached to them. And I think it's

2294
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:04,840
Speaker 1: a bad place to live. And I think a lot

2295
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:07,520
Speaker 1: is on the development and the place that you go on,

2296
01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 1: the coaching staff that you have, and if that coaching

2297
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:12,760
Speaker 1: staff can be able to develop you, because these guys

2298
01:58:12,800 --> 01:58:15,080
Speaker 1: are still so young and they still have so much

2299
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 1: shelf life in the NFL, and it takes a really

2300
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:20,400
Speaker 1: good position coach. It takes a good coordinator to be

2301
01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:23,800
Speaker 1: able to understand your strengths and lift those up, and

2302
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:27,160
Speaker 1: understand your weaknesses and work with you on the weaknesses

2303
01:58:27,240 --> 01:58:30,880
Speaker 1: to get better and to become an overall good player

2304
01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:33,720
Speaker 1: in every facet of the game and what you're told

2305
01:58:33,760 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 1: to do when you're on the field. Some of these

2306
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:38,880
Speaker 1: coaching staffs, and I've seen it in college football a lot,

2307
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 1: they completely fail to develop a player. And it's so

2308
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 1: sad to see some of these guys who have really

2309
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 1: high expectations and they just go to the wrong place

2310
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 1: and they don't get developed like they should, and I

2311
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 1: love that our coaching staff, we've developed several players who

2312
01:58:56,200 --> 01:58:59,440
Speaker 1: the expectations weren't high and they've been able to outlive,

2313
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 1: outperform those expectations. Yeah, you'd like to. There's no question

2314
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:08,960
Speaker 1: the guy's a phenomenal talent. The guy we're talking about

2315
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:11,200
Speaker 1: Pits out out the floor to the tight end. It's

2316
01:59:11,200 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 1: going to be a top five, top six. Don't go

2317
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:15,880
Speaker 1: to the AFC East, Yeah, yeah, go to the NFC.

2318
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:18,080
Speaker 1: But that's the kind of thing you're looking at, and

2319
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, it may be I mean, we may be

2320
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 1: looking at this all wrong. Maybe that the San Francisco

2321
01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:26,640
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are after a guy like Pits to

2322
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:29,000
Speaker 1: go with George Kittle. You have two of those guys

2323
01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do what the New England Patriots are

2324
01:59:32,120 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 1: doing with John U. Smith and Hunter Henry. Maybe there's

2325
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 1: some that these offensive minds somewhere out there. I think

2326
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 1: that's the magic elixir, is having a two tight end'll

2327
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:41,800
Speaker 1: be able to go. There's always going to be the

2328
01:59:41,880 --> 01:59:44,440
Speaker 1: next thing, right. Maybe that's the trend that the Kyle

2329
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,880
Speaker 1: Shanahan's getting out in front of. I don't know, but

2330
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:51,040
Speaker 1: we'll see. Well, We're going to take a break. When

2331
01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:53,560
Speaker 1: we come back, maybe dip into the tee tweet sheet

2332
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:55,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more, look at what people think that

2333
01:59:56,360 --> 01:59:58,960
Speaker 1: they're not feeling that much about what we should not

2334
01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 1: be drafting number thirty. Got about a half an hour

2335
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:04,040
Speaker 1: here left in the show. Thanks for tuning in One

2336
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

2337
02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back into one Bills Live. Maddie Glab Steve Tasker here.

2338
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 1: Heading back to our Twitter question, other than quarterback, what

2339
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:30,840
Speaker 1: position should be off the table for the Bills at

2340
02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:35,520
Speaker 1: pick number thirty? Would you be mad about a wide receiver? Nope?

2341
02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Running back nope? Safety, linebacker? Uh no, Well you mad um?

2342
02:00:43,960 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 1: If we read off with the thirtieth Brick draft, we

2343
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:53,919
Speaker 1: are drafting the Buffalo Bills are drafting a wide receiver,

2344
02:00:54,880 --> 02:00:57,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't be I wouldn't be upset about the league's full

2345
02:00:57,520 --> 02:00:59,480
Speaker 1: of those guys you need him. And the only guy

2346
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:04,080
Speaker 1: would be mad at is if we drafted quarterback Joey

2347
02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 1: Bag of Donuts from Nowhere State. Yeah, I'd be. I'd

2348
02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 1: punch in the air in a mad way. But our

2349
02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:14,400
Speaker 1: Twitter poll is saying they're kind of maybe with us

2350
02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:18,480
Speaker 1: on wide receiver. Yeah, forty seven point nine percent of

2351
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:23,120
Speaker 1: people say guide receiver should be off like beat it

2352
02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:26,000
Speaker 1: off the table. I like the depth there, I like

2353
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:29,320
Speaker 1: the top guys obviously. I love the Emmanuel Sanders. I

2354
02:01:29,400 --> 02:01:32,320
Speaker 1: think he's a great addition. I think they're set there.

2355
02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:36,680
Speaker 1: They've got depth, they've got quality, they've got experience, they've

2356
02:01:36,720 --> 02:01:39,080
Speaker 1: got some youth that's waiting to get on the on

2357
02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:42,840
Speaker 1: the on the you know, on the field. I mean

2358
02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:46,120
Speaker 1: all those guys. So I'm I'm totally right with him.

2359
02:01:46,160 --> 02:01:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm they're they're fine there. But even if they do

2360
02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:51,360
Speaker 1: take one, it will be because they've got you know,

2361
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:54,320
Speaker 1: they've got a reason to think this guy's going to

2362
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:56,720
Speaker 1: be really good at least in the future, or is

2363
02:01:56,720 --> 02:01:59,440
Speaker 1: it right now? Running back, Hey, go ahead. You drafted

2364
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,760
Speaker 1: two third rounders in the last two drafts. They've both

2365
02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:06,200
Speaker 1: been good. But you're not a running team anyway. If

2366
02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:09,000
Speaker 1: you want to change that, I've gone on record saying

2367
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:10,680
Speaker 1: if you want to change that, you've got to get

2368
02:02:10,760 --> 02:02:14,600
Speaker 1: better upfront and give him more opportunities to get better upfront.

2369
02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,200
Speaker 1: You got to run it more. Um, nobody wants to

2370
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:19,160
Speaker 1: do that. I don't. It's not smart to do that.

2371
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 1: You're do it when you have to do it. Do

2372
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:23,760
Speaker 1: it when you decide to do it, not because teams

2373
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:27,040
Speaker 1: force you out of your passing game. Um So, I'm

2374
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 1: running back. If they want to take a guy at

2375
02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:31,640
Speaker 1: that spot, fine, maybe he'll give you the impetus to

2376
02:02:32,080 --> 02:02:34,200
Speaker 1: be more productive there and the runs he does get.

2377
02:02:34,480 --> 02:02:37,440
Speaker 1: But I still don't want to run forty one percent

2378
02:02:37,480 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: of the time when they've only run at forty percent

2379
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: of the time up to this point. Don't not even

2380
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:46,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. So linebacker, Yeah, maybe they if they

2381
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:48,760
Speaker 1: get an athletic linebacker like the guy we were talking

2382
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:53,320
Speaker 1: about that guy, big fans. If they get a guy

2383
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:56,520
Speaker 1: like that, he's a good enough athlete, throw three three

2384
02:02:56,840 --> 02:03:02,320
Speaker 1: linebackers on the field defense right, and in a matchup situation,

2385
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:04,160
Speaker 1: he'll be on the field more with if you got

2386
02:03:04,200 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 1: a team that's running two tight ends, if they run

2387
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 1: two tight ends out on the field, he's on the

2388
02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:11,880
Speaker 1: field all the time as a linebacker with me, that

2389
02:03:12,160 --> 02:03:17,320
Speaker 1: nickel linebacker hybrid right, big nickel, he might be that guy.

2390
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Um I could go for that too, um so so.

2391
02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:26,960
Speaker 1: And then the last one was safety. Safety. That's the

2392
02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 1: one where I'm like, I don't know how's he gonna

2393
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:33,920
Speaker 1: get on the field. Yeah, when is that guy? Maybe magicians.

2394
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Maybe if he's got some physical skills, like he can

2395
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:40,080
Speaker 1: go man to man, then he goes big nickel or

2396
02:03:40,160 --> 02:03:42,320
Speaker 1: he goes to the nickel back. If Terren Johnson comes out,

2397
02:03:42,360 --> 02:03:44,120
Speaker 1: he can come in and play the slot. Maybe if

2398
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:46,600
Speaker 1: he's got that skill set. Okay, maybe, and at thirty,

2399
02:03:46,680 --> 02:03:48,400
Speaker 1: maybe there's a chance you get a guy with maybe

2400
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 1: that shows some signs of that. But nobody in this

2401
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:54,080
Speaker 1: college draft is playing the big nickel like he's gonna

2402
02:03:54,080 --> 02:03:55,680
Speaker 1: play for the Buffalo Bill. You're not gonna get this

2403
02:03:55,920 --> 02:03:59,360
Speaker 1: film on that guy. It's all gonna be projection. So yeah,

2404
02:04:00,200 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that would. And we've also got Kwon Johnson

2405
02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:06,320
Speaker 1: armed team. That's a safety that we drafted out of

2406
02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Miami two years ago and he's played a good role

2407
02:04:09,640 --> 02:04:12,480
Speaker 1: on special teams and might get a chance to see

2408
02:04:12,520 --> 02:04:15,280
Speaker 1: the field in the years to come. But yeah, I

2409
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:17,200
Speaker 1: think we're pretty set at that position. To one thing

2410
02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:20,200
Speaker 1: that I thought was interesting though, because wide receiver is

2411
02:04:20,360 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 1: leading for a position that we should just say no,

2412
02:04:22,960 --> 02:04:26,240
Speaker 1: don't even think about it at number thirty. This point

2413
02:04:26,360 --> 02:04:30,080
Speaker 1: was made by Peter Schrager on Good Morning Football Today.

2414
02:04:30,120 --> 02:04:33,520
Speaker 1: He said last year's class of wide receivers were great.

2415
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:36,680
Speaker 1: This year's class of wide receivers are great. We are

2416
02:04:36,760 --> 02:04:39,520
Speaker 1: now in an era where you're gonna get great wide

2417
02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:42,880
Speaker 1: receivers every single year, and you don't need to throw

2418
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:45,680
Speaker 1: it all out there to go grab one this year

2419
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,160
Speaker 1: or if you grabbed one last year, because now we're

2420
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:53,480
Speaker 1: seeing this this new type of wide receiver who has

2421
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the speed and who can also act as a running back,

2422
02:04:57,040 --> 02:04:59,360
Speaker 1: and who can be put all over the field in

2423
02:04:59,400 --> 02:05:03,120
Speaker 1: different time of positions at wide receiver. So his point was,

2424
02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:06,880
Speaker 1: don't necessarily worry too much about it being a stacked

2425
02:05:06,920 --> 02:05:09,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver class again this year, because that's going to

2426
02:05:09,240 --> 02:05:11,480
Speaker 1: be the case for years to come with what we're

2427
02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:13,440
Speaker 1: seeing in college football right now. I think right now

2428
02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 1: the Bills have got They've got Duke Williams standing behind

2429
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:17,960
Speaker 1: them waiting to come in. They've also who is Duke

2430
02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:19,840
Speaker 1: Williams is gonna be twenty eight, twenty nine years old.

2431
02:05:19,840 --> 02:05:21,880
Speaker 1: He's been around the block a couple of times. You've

2432
02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: also had Isaiah Hodgins who missed all of last year

2433
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:26,680
Speaker 1: with a shoulder injury. Now he's bounced back he's still

2434
02:05:26,680 --> 02:05:29,360
Speaker 1: got practice squad eligibility, a ton of it. You could

2435
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:32,440
Speaker 1: even have him in the wings waiting to come onto

2436
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:35,360
Speaker 1: the field. And if he develops as you hope that

2437
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:38,560
Speaker 1: he would, when Emmanuel Sanders one of year deal is out,

2438
02:05:38,680 --> 02:05:41,400
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins has been here two years and his third year,

2439
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:43,440
Speaker 1: maybe you sprinkle him in throughout games this year due

2440
02:05:43,480 --> 02:05:45,560
Speaker 1: to injury or his reward for his hard work. If

2441
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:49,040
Speaker 1: he is indeed deserving of it, Isaiah Hodgins works into it,

2442
02:05:49,120 --> 02:05:52,080
Speaker 1: and next year he slips in with Gabe Davis onto

2443
02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:53,960
Speaker 1: the field in the four wide receiver set, and you

2444
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:55,480
Speaker 1: don't have to go out on a free agent market

2445
02:05:55,560 --> 02:05:58,520
Speaker 1: or draft a guy because Isaiah Hodgins evolves into the

2446
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:00,440
Speaker 1: guy that you want him to be in place of

2447
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. That's a possibility down the road to keep

2448
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:06,920
Speaker 1: you competitive as you if you evolve guys off the

2449
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:10,160
Speaker 1: practice squad, Isaiah Hodgens is in a perfect spot to

2450
02:06:10,240 --> 02:06:13,160
Speaker 1: help the club in that regard, if indeed he doesn't actually,

2451
02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, fight his way onto the field this year.

2452
02:06:15,440 --> 02:06:17,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of a lot of flexibility in the

2453
02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver room right now, as you as you look

2454
02:06:20,720 --> 02:06:24,920
Speaker 1: at Jake Kumero, was still in town. So I'm yeah.

2455
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:31,520
Speaker 1: The wide receivers are an interesting group because the further

2456
02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:35,680
Speaker 1: you go into it, the better they look. And every

2457
02:06:35,720 --> 02:06:37,360
Speaker 1: time you look at them, they look that good. It's like,

2458
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't care if we have a tight end. I

2459
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:40,800
Speaker 1: don't care if we have a running back. You know

2460
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 1: we're not you know, we need the We want these

2461
02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:45,840
Speaker 1: guys to get the ball, and that's a nice place

2462
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:51,480
Speaker 1: to be and that's fine. So when you're looking at

2463
02:06:51,520 --> 02:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the draft, you don't need any wide receivers. But if

2464
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:57,480
Speaker 1: they're that good, yeah, there's nothing wrong with getting better.

2465
02:06:57,600 --> 02:06:59,560
Speaker 1: If they're that good next year too, maybe you wait

2466
02:06:59,640 --> 02:07:01,360
Speaker 1: till next you're maybe you wait a little bit to

2467
02:07:01,400 --> 02:07:03,839
Speaker 1: see how some of these younger players pan out. Isaiah

2468
02:07:03,880 --> 02:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Hodgens gives you that height. He's sixty three. He's an

2469
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:10,920
Speaker 1: inch taller than Gabriel Davis. He gives you something a

2470
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:14,840
Speaker 1: little bit different from what our wide receivers offer. That

2471
02:07:15,040 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 1: sixty three size. You're getting into tight end territory. He's

2472
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,480
Speaker 1: not as big as a tight end, but I think

2473
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:23,920
Speaker 1: he could present some unique skills on the field when

2474
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:26,720
Speaker 1: he is healthy and he does get that opportunity out

2475
02:07:26,760 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 1: there because I think he will rusty if we go

2476
02:07:29,520 --> 02:07:31,440
Speaker 1: back to the tweet sheet brought to you by Corgan

2477
02:07:31,520 --> 02:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

2478
02:07:35,280 --> 02:07:39,440
Speaker 1: He says, no position should be off the table. We

2479
02:07:39,600 --> 02:07:43,240
Speaker 1: have a deep team with few needs. Good teams maintain

2480
02:07:43,440 --> 02:07:47,640
Speaker 1: depth and continue to cultivate talent by not drafting for need.

2481
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Take the best player available. Our roster resignings an excellent

2482
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:55,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and an excellent twenty twenty has afforded us

2483
02:07:55,640 --> 02:07:58,000
Speaker 1: the chance to take the best guy on the board

2484
02:07:58,040 --> 02:08:00,240
Speaker 1: at thirty. And this kind of goes with in the

2485
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:02,800
Speaker 1: line of how Brandon Bean likes to think about that

2486
02:08:02,920 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 1: first pick because he wants to use free agency to

2487
02:08:05,960 --> 02:08:08,520
Speaker 1: take care of the needs. And so then once you

2488
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:10,920
Speaker 1: get into the draft, you're already set up or you're

2489
02:08:10,960 --> 02:08:15,640
Speaker 1: not drafting for needs necessarily, you're drafting for best available,

2490
02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:19,360
Speaker 1: and you're drafting for once whatever however the board falls

2491
02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:21,440
Speaker 1: to you, and however your board is set up in

2492
02:08:21,480 --> 02:08:24,520
Speaker 1: your draft room, you're gonna take the guy that's the

2493
02:08:24,720 --> 02:08:27,720
Speaker 1: number one guy on your list based on what's still

2494
02:08:27,880 --> 02:08:30,040
Speaker 1: out there. What that means is you're looking at all

2495
02:08:30,080 --> 02:08:32,760
Speaker 1: these guys you say you got four or five guys

2496
02:08:32,800 --> 02:08:34,320
Speaker 1: on the boards you think are up at that level,

2497
02:08:34,360 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: and you think of those four or five guys in

2498
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:41,880
Speaker 1: a vacuum. These guys are going to have ten year

2499
02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:44,160
Speaker 1: pro careers. They're gonna be solid play even if they're

2500
02:08:44,160 --> 02:08:45,720
Speaker 1: not gonna be stars. They're gonna be guys that are

2501
02:08:45,760 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 1: gonna be on your team, and you're gonna think we're good,

2502
02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:52,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna compete. But you take the guy there. If

2503
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 1: in the top of the draft, you can do it

2504
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:55,440
Speaker 1: easily because there's a ton of guys that are gonna

2505
02:08:55,440 --> 02:08:57,040
Speaker 1: have good pro careers at the top of the draft,

2506
02:08:57,240 --> 02:08:59,160
Speaker 1: but you get down it becomes fewer and fewer, and

2507
02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 1: as you get a third there may be not that

2508
02:09:03,120 --> 02:09:06,080
Speaker 1: many guys left that you're sure about or at least

2509
02:09:06,760 --> 02:09:09,480
Speaker 1: are you know, go from having a ten year pro

2510
02:09:09,600 --> 02:09:11,720
Speaker 1: career to having a three year pro career or getting

2511
02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:14,680
Speaker 1: one contract never getting to the second contract. But if

2512
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:16,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about guys like that, it gets fewer and

2513
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:18,840
Speaker 1: fewer those guys left on the board. So when you

2514
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:20,880
Speaker 1: get down to the Buffalo Bills, the only guys on

2515
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:25,280
Speaker 1: the board that are left are what a wide receiver

2516
02:09:26,440 --> 02:09:30,800
Speaker 1: and a safety. Oh I ow they're gonna be you know,

2517
02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:32,920
Speaker 1: they're not gonna help us this year. They can't beat

2518
02:09:32,960 --> 02:09:36,120
Speaker 1: out Jordan Poyer or Micah Hyde, and they can't beat

2519
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:40,040
Speaker 1: out Steph Diggs, Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davis, Emmanuel Sanders, and

2520
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:42,760
Speaker 1: they can't even beat out Isaiah Hodgins. But they're gonna

2521
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:45,280
Speaker 1: have good pro careers. We gotta take the guy. That's

2522
02:09:45,320 --> 02:09:48,160
Speaker 1: your problem. When you're down, you take the best guy available,

2523
02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're taking a quarterback when

2524
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:54,840
Speaker 1: you've got Mitch Trubisky and Josh Allen on your roster

2525
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:58,320
Speaker 1: and Jake and Jake from So the guy may be

2526
02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:00,480
Speaker 1: a good pro, but he's gonna be a pro for

2527
02:10:00,560 --> 02:10:03,120
Speaker 1: ten years holding the clipboard. That doesn't do you any

2528
02:10:03,160 --> 02:10:06,640
Speaker 1: goodness draft in this year. So that's a hard pill

2529
02:10:06,720 --> 02:10:09,120
Speaker 1: to swallow for a draft. And that's that's point. You

2530
02:10:09,240 --> 02:10:11,920
Speaker 1: know that he said, I look at that thirtieth pick

2531
02:10:12,040 --> 02:10:14,080
Speaker 1: as a pick that's going to help us down the line,

2532
02:10:14,160 --> 02:10:17,160
Speaker 1: not help immediately. And maybe that's the way that Brandon's

2533
02:10:17,200 --> 02:10:19,680
Speaker 1: also thinking too. You know, we don't know what his

2534
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:22,440
Speaker 1: mind is with where he's at with number thirty, if

2535
02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:24,840
Speaker 1: it's an immediate impact or if it's an impact over

2536
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the next couple of years. But we've got to take

2537
02:10:27,200 --> 02:10:29,360
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, we're gonna get into

2538
02:10:29,440 --> 02:10:32,080
Speaker 1: some what have we learned from today's show, because we

2539
02:10:32,200 --> 02:10:34,920
Speaker 1: have learned a lot. Stay with us on One Bill's

2540
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:52,720
Speaker 1: Lives presented by Clyde Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio time

2541
02:10:52,760 --> 02:10:55,000
Speaker 1: for What have We Learned? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2542
02:10:55,040 --> 02:10:58,680
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2543
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:02,240
Speaker 1: We had Shield capi Adia on from the Athletic and

2544
02:11:02,400 --> 02:11:04,800
Speaker 1: he had a lot to say about the Buffalo Bill's

2545
02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:07,840
Speaker 1: front office and how they've been killing it since they

2546
02:11:07,880 --> 02:11:11,560
Speaker 1: got to Buffalo. When you look at the Bills, they

2547
02:11:11,640 --> 02:11:15,040
Speaker 1: did a great job of assessing where their organization was,

2548
02:11:15,560 --> 02:11:18,200
Speaker 1: what bold moves they needed to make, and how they

2549
02:11:18,280 --> 02:11:20,960
Speaker 1: needed to build around Josh Allen to give him the

2550
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:23,480
Speaker 1: best chance. And I think the culmination of that was

2551
02:11:23,560 --> 02:11:26,680
Speaker 1: what you saw last year with a thirteen and three record. Now,

2552
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:30,200
Speaker 1: let's say Allen did not make that huge leap last season.

2553
02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 1: The fact is they would have been in a situation

2554
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:37,280
Speaker 1: this offseason where they could have explored another option at quarterback,

2555
02:11:37,480 --> 02:11:39,440
Speaker 1: and that quarterback would have been able to come in

2556
02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:42,720
Speaker 1: to a very good spot and would be positioned to succeed.

2557
02:11:42,840 --> 02:11:45,280
Speaker 1: So that's the aspect of it that I've really been

2558
02:11:45,280 --> 02:11:49,840
Speaker 1: impressed with. Schil Kapatia Thad Brown were on today with

2559
02:11:50,160 --> 02:11:53,240
Speaker 1: us a lot of insight about the NFL Draft, what

2560
02:11:53,360 --> 02:11:56,960
Speaker 1: the Bills should do at number thirty, what the Bills

2561
02:11:57,040 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 1: have done in the offseason to set them up for

2562
02:11:59,600 --> 02:12:04,160
Speaker 1: six us, and how they've built since Brandon and Sean

2563
02:12:04,280 --> 02:12:06,960
Speaker 1: got here, getting rid of some of those big contract

2564
02:12:07,080 --> 02:12:12,000
Speaker 1: players and bringing in players and putting smart contracts next

2565
02:12:12,040 --> 02:12:14,760
Speaker 1: to them. It's a different world we live in now,

2566
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:18,600
Speaker 1: because it's different even for Brandon being Sean McDermott. They

2567
02:12:18,680 --> 02:12:23,280
Speaker 1: came in and it was a mess financially, despite whatever

2568
02:12:23,360 --> 02:12:25,240
Speaker 1: you thought the roster was like when they got here,

2569
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:29,600
Speaker 1: they were in problems with the cap. So they fix

2570
02:12:29,680 --> 02:12:33,200
Speaker 1: all of that. They build the roster slowly, but surely.

2571
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:35,400
Speaker 1: They hit on a quarterback. They let him develop, they

2572
02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:37,640
Speaker 1: were patient with him. They put a strong defense out there,

2573
02:12:37,720 --> 02:12:39,080
Speaker 1: gave them a chance to win, got him into the

2574
02:12:39,120 --> 02:12:41,160
Speaker 1: playoffs a one and done year. Then they put everything

2575
02:12:41,200 --> 02:12:44,160
Speaker 1: in the offense and it exploded for him and they

2576
02:12:44,160 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 1: got to the championship game. Now they've got this this

2577
02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:49,680
Speaker 1: team that's really on the uptick. Now it's different. They're

2578
02:12:49,720 --> 02:12:52,880
Speaker 1: not trying to build it anymore. They're trying to just

2579
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:55,000
Speaker 1: put it over the top. And I've said this before.

2580
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:57,800
Speaker 1: There's not a magic elixer. There's not a running back

2581
02:12:57,880 --> 02:12:59,480
Speaker 1: that's going to do it. It's not going to be

2582
02:12:59,600 --> 02:13:01,880
Speaker 1: a pass rush that's gonna do it. It's not gonna

2583
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:03,640
Speaker 1: be the defense is gonna it's not gonna be a

2584
02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:07,240
Speaker 1: corner this guy. It's the whole group playing better on

2585
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:10,120
Speaker 1: the day they play those good teams in the playoffs,

2586
02:13:10,200 --> 02:13:12,520
Speaker 1: you have to bring it on that day. The Baltimore

2587
02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:14,240
Speaker 1: Ravens did not do it against the Buffalo Bills. The

2588
02:13:14,280 --> 02:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colt do not do it against the Buffalo Bills.

2589
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:18,720
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns didn't do it against Kansas City. You can

2590
02:13:18,720 --> 02:13:20,760
Speaker 1: go down the list. You just gotta play well on

2591
02:13:20,840 --> 02:13:23,360
Speaker 1: that day. Those teams are good enough to win that game,

2592
02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:25,520
Speaker 1: but they gotta do it on that day. The Bills

2593
02:13:25,520 --> 02:13:28,120
Speaker 1: don't need to reinvent themselves to get the next step.

2594
02:13:28,520 --> 02:13:30,800
Speaker 1: They just need to do what they do better. If

2595
02:13:30,840 --> 02:13:33,960
Speaker 1: you build it, they will come. It's already built and

2596
02:13:34,120 --> 02:13:36,800
Speaker 1: they are coming to Buffalo to play for a really

2597
02:13:37,120 --> 02:13:39,920
Speaker 1: great team. Tomorrow, We've got Kurt Warner and Greg co
