1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,760 All right, welcome back to the Buffalo Brett podcast and happy Good Friday to you. 2 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:17,440 We are going to do a full seven round mock draft on the PFF draft simulator. 3 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,560 I can talk about my preferences for the PFF draft simulator if you'd like, but certainly 4 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,280 before that, how are you, my good friend? 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,280 I am good, sir. 6 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,280 I am doing well. 7 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,560 I am very excited for this moment we're about to embark on. 8 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,720 Mock draft is always a spectacular time for us because one, we get to it is like apex 9 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,840 mountain for us for our madden GM feels and vibes. 10 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,600 So now that we actually get to get into it and do a draft like we do on the team is always 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,160 a lot of fun. 12 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:54,400 And second, these things are almost never right, which is amazing for the cottage industry 13 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,680 of mock drafts, how few of them are actually correct. 14 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,800 Like no one had Houston last year trading back up into the top three to take Will Anderson 15 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,320 after they'd already taken CJ Stroud. 16 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,920 No one had the Patriots taking Cole Strange a couple years back. 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,200 These are always the types of things that that happened at the end of the day. 18 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,160 Teams evaluate this talent on a completely different level than a lot of these mock 19 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,280 draft algorithm guys. 20 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,600 So it would be interesting JJ to talk about it in that context too. 21 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,280 It's probably less likely anyone could ever prepare a seven round mock draft with every 22 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,640 team, every pick correct, then even the Warren Buffett, you know, one million per year for 23 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,280 the rest of your life bracket challenge that he does with his company Berkshire Hathaway. 24 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,560 It's I don't want to do the probability right now, but I can tell you it's somewhere worse 25 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,320 than the 147 quintillion odds of getting an exact bracket right. 26 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,320 Absolutely. 27 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,720 And yet we punish ourselves by going through this exercise year after year, convincing 28 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,120 ourselves that we will be right. 29 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,440 But again, for me, it adds a fun element to the draft to compare my board to what the 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,240 bills and other teams actually do. 31 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,040 So JJ, I'm ready to hop into it. 32 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,160 So why don't we set the stage here for what we're about to do. 33 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,640 So we have PFF's mock draft simulator up. 34 00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:23,800 We have all of the settings save for randomness, which we have skewed way down set to about 35 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,320 the middle of each of the intensity bars here. 36 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,960 So public versus PFF board care for positional value, drafting for needs, all set to about 37 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,680 the middle of their individual spectrums here. 38 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,440 We'll be drafting with your Buffalo bills and our beloved Buffalo bills here as we 39 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,160 go through this exercise. 40 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,960 And what we're going to do is when we get to the bills pick, we are going to let the 41 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,840 listeners at home know who is on the board at key positions of need for the bills. 42 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,400 JJ is going to make a pick. 43 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,040 I'm going to make a pick. 44 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,000 And then together, we're going to try to figure out what bean is going to do if the board 45 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,040 falls in the way that it falls in this particular mock draft. 46 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,400 After that, we'll run through our picks one more time just to solidify where we landed, 47 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,640 talk a little bit about some of our favorites, some of our not so favorites, and see what 48 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:16,200 it would mean if the bills draft actually played out in the way that it does on this 49 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,200 pod. 50 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,200 So I'm good, JJ. 51 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Absolutely. 52 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,960 And I would say just to kind of keep us moving along for the purposes of this draft, you 53 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,640 are the seeded GM. 54 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:29,080 I will have a pick that I'd suggest, but ultimately the decision comes to you. 55 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,600 We can do another one down the line where I'm the decider, but today you're the decider, 56 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Dan. 57 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,600 You have the bean hat on. 58 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,600 I have the beanie. 59 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,600 I've got the beanie. 60 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,600 Yeah, you got the beanie. 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,600 The bean beanie. 62 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,600 You're the ultimate decider. 63 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,680 I've got the bean beanie. 64 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,680 I will don Don said headwear with pride, sir. 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,480 All right, let's hit it. 66 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,480 Let's get going. 67 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,040 All right, and we're going pretty slow so we can watch the first round go. 68 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,040 So again, Dan, if you want me to stop the draft and offer a trade to get up somewhere, 69 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,120 you let me know. 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:06,280 I will, but I'm going to tell you right now, unless Brian Thomas, Jr. falls into the 20s, 71 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,040 I don't know that bean is trading up in this draft if it sacrifices his ability to add 72 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,720 a third round pick. 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:19,600 I actually think the bills, depending on how the board falls, may trade back at either 74 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,760 28, or I think it's very, very likely they end up trading back at 60 for sure. 75 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,760 Yeah, sure. 76 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:32,240 And the way that this has run, Marvin Harrison, Jr. went second, Roma Denzi went fourth in 77 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,520 terms of the wide receivers, Malik neighbors seven, and then no other wide receivers until 78 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,760 pick 20 where the Steelers took Brian Thomas, Jr., who is now off the board. 79 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Yep. 80 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,800 And that we've been saying that on the pod friend, like that is the spot. 81 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,120 Once we get into the 20s, the Buccaneers are in play the dolphins because they really don't 82 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,360 seem to care about protecting to a tongue of a low hook with any kind of offensive line 83 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,920 help there in play at that point. 84 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,640 And I think the Steelers after the Deontay Johnson, I think they're in play after that 85 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,640 trade too. 86 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,160 I also wouldn't rule out the Cowboys. 87 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,920 The Cowboys have a lot of needs, but they really do need it to establish a number two 88 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,160 next to CD Lamb. 89 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,000 CD Lamb, he plays in the slot for about 80% to 85% of his snap share. 90 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,800 So they really do need a legitimate outside threat there. 91 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,160 So those four teams that draft before the bills, JJ, could all be on the board for a 92 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,520 wide receiver. 93 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,800 And in that world, I just don't see how Brian Thomas, Jr. legitimately falls to the bills 94 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,000 of 28. 95 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,240 So then we're starting at what I believe would be the next tier of wide receivers after 96 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,240 that. 97 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,440 That starts with a D Mitchell. 98 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,160 And I got to tell you, JJ, I don't know that a D Mitchell is getting a first round grade 99 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:51,200 from the bills based on what Bean said at the NFL meetings in Orlando this past week. 100 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,840 Phil, Phil, the listeners in on that bit. 101 00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:01,000 So Bean made a very, very open and I thought funny joke on the Pat McAfee show where he 102 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,760 basically said after backfielder, so he had taken a 28 and Bean goes, well, we're taking 103 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,160 six wide receivers on the draft this year. 104 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,280 We're going to draft a wide receiver in every single round. 105 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:17,640 And after everybody had a really good chuckle, he did his thing that Bean is so good at, 106 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:23,440 which it seems like he's being not evasive, but it seems like he's taken the long way 107 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,280 to get to an answer. 108 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,520 But that is also Bean it is most transparent. 109 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,760 And he is basically like we are BPA, we are going to be best player available at each 110 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,680 of our picks, and they really want to get a third round pick back. 111 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,680 So to me, trading up only happens, depending on how much they covet getting Brian Thomas 112 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,040 Jr. should he fall into the 20s, and then sacrificing the possibility of not getting 113 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,320 a third round pick. 114 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,840 To me, I think the bills value a quantity of premium picks, because I think they want 115 00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:01,400 to splash around on the lines a little bit, offensive and defensive based on what Bean 116 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,600 was sharing at the NFL owners meetings. 117 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,640 I just don't I don't see them with a first round grade on a wide receiver beyond Brian 118 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,800 Thomas Jr. based on how they were talking about some of these guys. 119 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,240 That's fair. 120 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,160 So here we are bills mafia. 121 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,720 We are our pick 28, and we have some options on the board here. 122 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,920 I will go first. 123 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:33,480 So the number one rated player for Pete with PFS metrics use is Leatu Latu, UCLA edge rusher. 124 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,000 And honestly, especially with Brian Thomas Jr. gone, I will presume that the Buffalo 125 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,680 bills have done their due diligence with him at the combine in terms of his medical he 126 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,520 was medically retired and then came back to football, but he just like his pass rush moves 127 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,320 his motor, his athleticism, everything you could possibly want on like a twitchy outside 128 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,560 edge pass rusher is there, and his knack for finding the football all of it. 129 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,200 So I'm just going to presume that the bills have done their due diligence. 130 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,160 I'm going to wait on all other kind of needs. 131 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,760 And that would be my pick at 28 is Leatu Latu. 132 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,680 If he fell, I think the bills should run up to the podium, presuming again that they have 133 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,820 a fair amount of confidence that he his neck injury is not going to be a spinal fusion 134 00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:23,680 surgery in the upper part of his his neck, that that's not going to be something that 135 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,760 like ends his career prematurely. 136 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,920 How about you Dan, we if you want to you can see with the board here we have a lot to a 137 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:36,280 lot, a lot to Nate Wigan, CB out of Clemson, Peyton Wilson, 80 Mitchell, Zach Frazier, 138 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:43,600 the center out of West Virginia, Ladd McConkey, wide receiver Georgia, TJ Tampa, CB Iowa State. 139 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,480 There's Brayden Fisk, defensive interior Florida State, who actually fits what I think, you 140 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,240 know, with the signings of Dequan Jones and Austin Jackson. 141 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,560 The Buffalo bills have that one tech have two layers deep of that one tech with what 142 00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,560 I believe to be starting a rotational talent. 143 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,720 So we may be looking for Ed Oliver back up in the draft. 144 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,400 Yeah, and that would be that would be Fisk for sure. 145 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,680 You know, it's interesting, JJ, because if the board falls like this, this is a great 146 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,600 board for the bills to actually trade back on. 147 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,040 But there are guys here that I think if they were on the board, they would actually go to 148 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,760 take so scroll back up to the top for me. 149 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:30,200 So positions of need at wide receiver, offensive line, interior, and then I would go tackle 150 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,640 defensive line, interior, then edge in that order, and then secondary needs. 151 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,840 Yes, they need a safety. 152 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,040 But dude, I think they're I think they're looking at another CB to ensure. 153 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,920 And I've seen and I've heard this quite a bit from from from insiders. 154 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,920 They believe that the bills top two needs, depending on how the board falls, will be 155 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,200 offensive line and cornerback. 156 00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:01,240 We've seen TJ Tampa actually mocked to the bills in this spot by Mel Kuiper, the CB 157 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,480 out of Iowa State, because he's also got positional versatility to play safety. 158 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,960 He may actually end up as a safety, but he can play nickel. 159 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,400 He can play on the outside. 160 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,920 He's got great athleticism. 161 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,840 He is a chess piece that could be great for the Buffalo Bills here. 162 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,440 And then JJ on this board, Nate Wiggins is on the board. 163 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:27,160 He is a tall, fast corner and would immediately be the most athletic and 164 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720 fastest player that they have in that secondary. 165 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,760 And he's only 21 years of age as well. 166 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,440 So the bills would be getting him early, early on, get them into their system 167 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,560 and develop him. 168 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,720 I for me, though, a D Mitchell is sitting here on the board. 169 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:48,880 I have trumpeted a D Mitchell and trumpeted wide receiver in the first round. 170 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,080 Come hell or high water. 171 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,040 Add nauseam and I would be a coward, sir, and a fraud. 172 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,760 If I did not follow through on getting Josh Allen, the outside 173 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,600 downfield threat that he so desperately needs an AD Mitchell, while 174 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,720 his college production didn't always match his traits, has elite field 175 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,040 tilting speed. 176 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,880 He is great at the point of catch. 177 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,160 He is a mega athlete. 178 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,440 The only question about AD Mitchell JJ is, does he fit in the bills culture? 179 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,040 And, you know, for me, I think the bills have got to get to a point where 180 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,320 they are seven years into this bean and McDermott culture building exercise. 181 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,080 Your call if your culture is not strong enough to bring in a couple of 182 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,560 Uber talented guys that might need to grow into your expectations as 183 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:40,680 opposed to already meet your expectations. 184 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,240 Then I challenge how strong you think your culture is. 185 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,760 If your culture cannot take someone that is a raw, supremely talented 186 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,000 product like that and mold them and what you need them to be, then I 187 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,720 challenge if the culture is as effective as you purported to be. 188 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:02,960 So all that being said, JJ, I go AD Mitchell out of Texas pick for my 189 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,640 pick here and round one. 190 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,200 So my pick would be Laatu Latu. 191 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,880 Your pick would be AD Mitchell. 192 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,680 There are five different options. 193 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,440 Your pick would be AD Mitchell. 194 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,440 There are five trade possibilities. 195 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,560 The simulator has thrown at us, ranging and dropping down from 28 to 36, 196 00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:26,600 all the way to 75 is the kind of farthest that that team is offering to drop. 197 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,440 I would say, you know, just as an aside with the board as it is, 198 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,640 we mentioned a lot to Wiggins, AD Mitchell, Lad Mckonke's on the board, 199 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,840 Brayden Fisk, Troy Franklin, Chris Braswell, Ennis Raikstra, CB out of 200 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,280 Missouri, Chop Robinson, the Penn State Edge, Darius Robinson, Edge out of Missouri. 201 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,960 There's probably 10 players on this board that I would consider draftable. 202 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,080 If Laatu Latu wasn't poking out for me, I would probably trade down. 203 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880 And it's possible that Bean would too, depending on the board. 204 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,160 But we are picking AD Mitchell because you are the ultimate decider. 205 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Who do you think Bean would do that? 206 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,920 Or is he going to take Laatu Latu and go with me? 207 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:11,560 I think if Laatu is on the board here to your point, the bills run to make that pick. 208 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,880 And I think the bills would take Laatu in an absolute heartbeat. 209 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,720 I also would not rule out Nate Wiggins in this particular spot either. 210 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,560 Or, and here's a name for you, Bill's Mafia, to get familiar with if you're not 211 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,320 already, Zack Frazier. 212 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:30,640 There is some debate about whether or not he projects out to be a center only 213 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,360 prospect or has some center guard versatility. 214 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,760 But his comp, Bill's Mafia, is Creed Humphrey, the one that got away from Bill's 215 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,560 Mafia and Zack Frazier. 216 00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:47,840 He's always playing with great vision across all pass rush gaps. 217 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,640 He is has great lateral movement. 218 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:56,520 He wins great with hand fighting and he is able to use his frame to really pin guys. 219 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,560 He is strong. 220 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,800 He is athletic. 221 00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,400 He is big. 222 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,160 He is fast. 223 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,160 He absolutely fits the mold of offensive line that Aaron Kroemer and Joe 224 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,480 Brady are looking to craft. 225 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Do not be shocked and please do not take to the streets and protest. 226 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,480 If Zack Frazier ends up being a first round pick for the Buffalo Bills, 227 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:19,800 because he is a dude that projects to be a long term protector for Josh Allen. 228 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,520 And that, I mean, Jackson powers Johnson in this simulation is the best interior, 229 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,920 probably best interior offensive line in the entire draft. 230 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,640 And he was taken 26, two picks above the bill. 231 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,360 So if that's the name that comes off the board, too, I would not would not shock 232 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,960 me and I would be happy to pick. 233 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,840 You know, it's interesting. 234 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,320 It was interesting. 235 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:44,320 I was reading Matt Miller's notes out of out of NFL pro days and the buzz 236 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,880 are Jackson powers Johnson, at least according to him, is that folks feel like 237 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,160 the media is overrating him a little bit. 238 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:57,120 They think he's just a more raw product than a lot of draft nicks in the media 239 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,840 like PFF are giving are actually leading leading to. 240 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,760 And they've got Graham Barton, who basically has five position versatility 241 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,240 out of Duke way ahead of Jackson powers Johnson. 242 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:11,840 Interesting. 243 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,400 So listen, this could be a draft. 244 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,440 We've seen how much money these big honking interior guys are going to be. 245 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,760 And in today's NFL, while the blind side and protecting the blind side for these 246 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,040 QB matters, so so does pocket integrity up the middle. 247 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,040 When the bangles beat the bills, it wasn't because they were getting a huge 248 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,880 amount of edge pressure. 249 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,800 It's because they were dominating the interior of the pocket and shutting down 250 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,240 a lot of escape lanes for Josh Antlin, which allowed their edge rushers to get to him. 251 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Guys like Kyler Murray, guys like to a tongue of a Loa, even guys like Patrick Mahomes, 252 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,080 they suffer when they are pressured up the middle and there's becoming an increased 253 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,400 premium on finding guys that can protect. 254 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,120 JJ, here is my bold draft take. 255 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:59,080 Both Graham Barton and Zach Frazier will be first round picks in this year's draft. 256 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,080 And J and JPJ will not. 257 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,240 Is that your correct? 258 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:02,600 Correct. 259 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,840 Oh, he will not. 260 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,320 I think he falls. 261 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,160 I think he falls. 262 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,880 So and it's interesting because in this this simulation, the dolphins took 263 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,440 Graham Barton with pick 21. 264 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,040 And it's funny that you mentioned Graham Barton because I actually just watched 265 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,440 some cut ups of him versus Jared verse, the Florida State edge rusher. 266 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,800 Because they moved Graham Barton to the kind of most important part of the line 267 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,080 left tackle for his senior season. 268 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,320 But he has position flex, as you mentioned, for all five spots. 269 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,520 And he was basically erasing Jared verse on most of those snaps. 270 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,680 There's a few where you got beat kind of late with some pursuit stuff. 271 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,640 And he had not great quarterback, no, playing behind him for some of the snaps 272 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,680 with Drake May, but not Drake May, whoever the due quarterback was. 273 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:52,160 And so it was interesting to to see him against elite pass rush talent and 274 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,400 really kind of doing a nice job. 275 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,640 So I wouldn't be surprised by that at all. 276 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,840 We are back up on the board at pick 60. 277 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,400 And just to kind of pick off some players that went in the second round 278 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,440 after our pick in the first and in the second round, Lahtula to chop Robinson, 279 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,120 Wiggins, Ennis, Raikstra, two CBs and two edges right after we took AD Mitchell, 280 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,320 and then additional edge rushers and CBs. 281 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,960 As well as Troy Franklin, Roman Wilson out of Michigan, the wide receiver. 282 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,720 So a couple of riders, Severs have gone. 283 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,880 Ladd McConkey went in the middle of the second round. 284 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,320 And Xavier Leggett out of South Carolina also went to the Philadelphia Eagles 285 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,200 at pick 53. 286 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,720 March on Neal and who we've both talked about out of Western Michigan. 287 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,760 And that an ad dresser went Xavier worthy went to the Dallas Tech, Texas, 288 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,840 to Dallas from Texas. 289 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,680 So that might be your person that you're mentioning where they need a second 290 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,680 wide receiver. 291 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:47,800 And then there was a run. 292 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,240 So Xavier worthy Jalen Polk and German and burden all went four picks ahead of us, 293 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,760 followed by Braille and Trice, the edge rush out of Washington went to Houston. 294 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,400 So we are on the clock at 60. 295 00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,680 We have a wide receiver. 296 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,920 And what are we looking for here? 297 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:06,400 Well, and seeing how that board fell, I feel good about having our wide receiver 298 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,040 JJ, because I actually think that could happen on draft day. 299 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,960 I think there's a very clear top three, top four wide receivers. 300 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,040 And then I think there is a drop off to the second tier, not massive, but but 301 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,600 enough, I think, to create some clear differentiation between the top guys 302 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,600 and the next tier. 303 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,160 I think you're very likely to see a second round run on a lot of these wide 304 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:29,680 receivers. 305 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,120 Xavier worthy, Troy Franklin, Ricky Piersol, who I know is still on the board 306 00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,640 here for us, Keon Coleman, also still on the board. 307 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,320 These are guys that could go before the bills hit pick 60. 308 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,080 So the danger to me in trading back, unless they plan on getting an early 309 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,360 second round and dropping another third round pick in there as well, is that 310 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:55,360 you could very well be out of some of these X style wide receivers by the 311 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,600 time you get to pick 60. 312 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,760 So I feel good about having 80 Mitchell one pocket. 313 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,360 JJ, the next place I want to look is if you could pull up and sort this, I want 314 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:06,760 to look at offensive tackle. 315 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,760 Please. 316 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,640 Interior offensive line. 317 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:11,920 All right. 318 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,920 So offensive to be a Blake Fisher. 319 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,120 And then can you pull up last one? 320 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,880 Defensive line, defensive interior. 321 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:22,520 Interior. 322 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:22,920 Yep. 323 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,320 Do you want edges? 324 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,720 Yeah, throw edges up there too. 325 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,480 But I don't think there's anyone on the board really worth a look right now. 326 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,720 Like, yeah, probably got Grayson Murphy up here from UCLA, more likely, but he's 327 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,240 kind of under or Gabriel Murphy. 328 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,400 Yeah, he's probably the best. 329 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:37,760 Yeah. 330 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,560 And he's the best one on way undersized. 331 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,400 So scroll back up to the top, JJ. 332 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:41,920 Yep. 333 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,760 All right. 334 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,840 I would in this particular spot. 335 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,000 So to Vondre Swett is on the board. 336 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,320 Chris Jenkins, absolute athletic freak from Michigan, also on the board of 337 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,400 defensive interior. 338 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 I'm going to Vondre Swett here. 339 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520 JJ, tell me about him. 340 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,600 We've talked a lot about. 341 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,600 We've talked a lot about. 342 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:02,440 Mount sweat. 343 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:02,920 Yes. 344 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,480 We have talked a lot about the planet that is is to Vondre Swett. 345 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840 And I love the value at 60 here. 346 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:15,200 And I even think on draft day, there is a chance he goes early round three as 347 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,800 opposed to late round two. 348 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:23,920 I think a lot of teams are questioning more and more the value of a big one tech. 349 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,040 Or nose tackle that can really only play for two downs. 350 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,320 But in the and that's really what the bill on sweat is, is that he's he 351 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,280 because of his size and because of his limited pass rush moves. 352 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,400 Well, he's got some right. 353 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,240 He's got a decent swim move and stuff like that. 354 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,480 But pretty good swim. 355 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,000 Yeah. 356 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,120 You wouldn't expect him to have as active hands as he does. 357 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:42,640 Right. 358 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,320 His hands are surprisingly active and he's got great get off and all that 359 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,080 kind of stuff. 360 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,040 But until he develops more fully, he's basically a big one tech. 361 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,960 He's fully he's basically a rundown only guy. 362 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:02,640 But when you look at how much the bills like to play nickel in this year, 363 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,680 they're talking about playing more man coverage. 364 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,480 Of course, I'll believe it when I see if they've been talking about that for three 365 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,080 years now. 366 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,200 But when you when you look at how much the bills covet being able to stay in 367 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,760 their base nickel package, a guy like sweat really elevates what is not been 368 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,280 a great run defense JJ. 369 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,600 And he takes a lot of pressure off those linebackers to fill a lot of those 370 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,040 run gaps because he's going to take up a couple of them on his own. 371 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:27,840 You know what I mean? 372 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,680 And the bills have never had a guy that can swallow opposing offensive 373 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,600 linemen on the interior and the way that Tavondre sweat would. 374 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,920 Is he going to be the guy that breaks through Creed Humphrey and gets to 375 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,160 Patrick Mahomes? 376 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:41,720 No. 377 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,200 But he might be the guy that knocks over Creed Humphrey so Matt Milano can get 378 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,440 to Patrick Mahomes, right? 379 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,040 That's right. 380 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:53,200 In the bill system and at this value at 60, Tavondre sweat to me should be the 381 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,560 pick if he's on the board. 382 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,000 I like it. 383 00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,840 Is there is there anybody here JJ who you would prefer? 384 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,040 Because there's again, there's guys with chops here. 385 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,720 Yeah, I think so. 386 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,440 For me, I think that I'm cool with Tavondre sweat. 387 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,880 If that was the pick that 60, I'd be so happy because I've liked him from the 388 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,960 start in terms of him just being like kind of a rare outlier of a sized 389 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,600 person who is also exceptionally athletic for that size. 390 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:21,680 I like it. 391 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,200 I would probably pick him myself, but there's one person I would consider 392 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:32,160 who's rated, I think way lower on the board with PFF than I think he deserves. 393 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,720 And that's DeWayne Carter out of Duke. 394 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,840 I think that he's going to be and mostly because he's more of a penetrating 395 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,120 style at Oliver tight. 396 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,080 And that's what I think they're looking for. 397 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,080 And he will not be there past pick probably 70 or 80. 398 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,920 So that might be somebody with the bills sitting on 60 and then the next 399 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,080 pick is not until 68 picks later at 128. 400 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,840 Might be somebody that they reach down for if there's not a, if there's not 401 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,320 like an opportunity to trade down. 402 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,600 And in this particular iteration, there is not. 403 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,160 I'm going to go ahead and put in the draft pick for Tavondre sweat, but that 404 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,120 is a consideration out. 405 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,080 I would make as well is DeWayne Carter out. 406 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,440 And I would say on the bean end of things, JJ, I think this is a spot where 407 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,640 they would try to trade down. 408 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,240 Yes. 409 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,720 If the board fell like this, this is total trade down territory for them. 410 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,080 Because it's such a, it's a soup of different players that all have that 411 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,160 second to third round. 412 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:25,440 Exactly. 413 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,200 And for them, I don't know that any of them would be a priority at 60 for 414 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:29,560 being. 415 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,920 So JJ, what I want to do here as we approach round three is I want to try 416 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,600 to get up to pick 99 at the very least. 417 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,640 I know it's at the very, very end of the third round here, but I think 418 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,240 there's some value still on the board at this particular point. 419 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,720 And if we could, and it's a condition, it's a conditional pick that the 420 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,040 that the Rams ended up getting that I think a lot of Bill's fans thought we 421 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:54,560 should got. 422 00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:00,480 So in a way, JJ, we are correcting history, but also putting ourselves in 423 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,600 a position to add what would technically be considered a premium pick as we'd 424 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:10,400 be picking for the third time in the top 100, going for a position of need for 425 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:10,840 the bills. 426 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,720 And I'm going safety here. 427 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,880 I want to see the safeties and the DBs generally that are on the board here 428 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,280 at the end of round three for the bills. 429 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,480 I very much feel like Rick from Pawn Stars, because you asked for 99. 430 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,960 The best I got for you is 100. 431 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,040 That's all right, man. 432 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,200 I'll take 100. 433 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,120 I'll take 100. 434 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:30,400 We tricked up with the Washington commanders at a compensatory. 435 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,000 It was actually San Francisco's compensatory pick that was supposed to be ours. 436 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:34,400 Yep. 437 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,640 There you go. 438 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,120 There you go. 439 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,760 So let's do, let's do CBs and let's do. 440 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:40,600 Safety's here. 441 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,520 Well, you're in luck, sir, because the CBs and safeties are the top three or 442 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,480 four rated people on the total board right now. 443 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,040 Yeah, that's what I like, right? 444 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,920 Didorian Taylor Demerson out of Texas Tech. 445 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:55,880 I know freaky athlete real, real good. 446 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,720 You got Tiki Smith out of Georgia. 447 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,240 And then you've got my guy JJ and Cole Bishop, who now safeties for for 448 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,240 those of you listening at home, safeties, their privilege. 449 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:15,120 Their pre draft rankings run the gamut depending on who you're reading and who 450 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:16,040 you're listening to. 451 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:23,840 Nate Tice, for example, has Malik Mustafa as his top safety in this year's draft, 452 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,760 but his 40th ranked player out of his top 100. 453 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,440 Cole Bishop is field Yates, number one ranked safety. 454 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,920 Tyler Newbin, who, who is on the, the minds of a lot of Bill's fans at this point, 455 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,720 is a top ranked safety and a lot of big draft boards, including, I think, 456 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:40,840 Mel Kipers as well. 457 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:49,080 There is so much differentiation and variance, JJ, on who folks think a good 458 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,160 safety is going to look like. 459 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,440 And oftentimes it is the hardest position in the draft to actually evaluate. 460 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,400 But we trade back up in the top 100. 461 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,040 And there's a couple of really good options here. 462 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,000 And JJ, I'm looking for positional versatility. 463 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,960 And I look at a guy like Cole Bishop, who I've lauded on this, this particular draft 464 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:16,160 before, and not only can he play safety, but he's got some versatility in the box. 465 00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:17,640 He can play center field. 466 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,080 He can play nickel. 467 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,480 I think he is a great athletic fast addition to this team. 468 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,240 And should the board fall this way, Brandon mean would be absolutely insane to 469 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,120 not draft him. 470 00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:33,960 But there's also a guy like Cam Hart, cornerback out of Notre Dame, who's 471 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,200 still on the board here as well. 472 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,680 Kamal Hayden, cornerback out of Tennessee, who I really like. 473 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:43,680 He had a really great year here in his red shirt senior year for the University 474 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,680 of Tennessee, and he put his traits together with some actual college 475 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,840 production here as well. 476 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:53,520 But JJ, for me, the pick at this point has to be Cole Bishop. 477 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,720 He'll solidify that secondary for years to come. 478 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,680 And I think he is a dude who can pretty immediately compete for a starting spot. 479 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:03,560 Absolutely. 480 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,400 No, I picked the same exact player. 481 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,200 I don't have any reservations at all. 482 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,440 And interesting about where you're talking about on the board, that pick 100 483 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,200 and at the end of the third round, we took, you know, the bills to Cole Bishop, 484 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,680 and then immediately following him, there was a CB and then two safeties. 485 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,840 So it's that's kind of a striking point. 486 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,520 If you're looking for a safety who could have starting capability and then the 487 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,440 just take Tiki Smith in that round two. 488 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,800 So in round four, three safeties have gone already. 489 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,760 And again, pick 115. 490 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,600 And I think that could that I think this is going to be a draft of runs. 491 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,200 And I think you're going to see runs in the second round on wide receiver. 492 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,720 And then third heading into fourth round, just because of the variance on 493 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,520 these safety rankings, you're going to start to see a run on safeties as well. 494 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,840 So if the bills really do want to prioritize their secondary, I could 495 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,760 see them trading back up into round three to take their safety of the future. 496 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,080 Absolutely. 497 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,360 And man, if it's Cole Bishop, get your popcorn ready, Bill's mafia. 498 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:02,120 He's a good one. 499 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:04,920 All right. 500 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,240 We're just watching the round four kind of crawl towards the bills right now. 501 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,160 And Audric Estime is gone. 502 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,120 Oh, that blows. 503 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,040 That would have been great if he hung out at 133. 504 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,000 Yep. 505 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,640 But here we are at pick 133. 506 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,920 That's the one that we have as a compensatory in the round in round four. 507 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:31,600 And on the board, we have a couple of linemen, a couple of CBs and Braylon Allen 508 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,840 are some of our top rated. 509 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,720 If it's me, it's Braylon Allen, you know, no matter what. 510 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,760 So, yep, I know. 511 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,440 A future Michael Stott. 512 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,360 I'll put them in right now for you. 513 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Okay. 514 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,080 Thank you for me. 515 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,280 And I think Bean probably goes this way too. 516 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,880 I think this is where the bills start looking at some some offensive line 517 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,280 depth here in the fourth round. 518 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,440 He's got a lot of ammo to play with here. 519 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,960 Feasibly, if he does in fact get another third round pick, I think they deal 520 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,000 with by the third round, defensive interior wide receiver and secondary safety. 521 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,720 I think at this point, the bills are looking to play around with some beef. 522 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:17,040 And to me, JJ, there's some great options here, but tackle has to be a consideration, 523 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,840 especially when you don't know if Spencer, what Spencer Brown's final year of his 524 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,800 contract is going to look like. 525 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:28,080 You could have a great year, absolutely price himself out of a deal with the bills. 526 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,960 He could get injured. 527 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,360 He could not play well. 528 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,480 I mean, it's a it's a wide array of outcomes that there could be. 529 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,800 And you can never have enough dudes that can block for Josh Allen. 530 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,720 So there's some good ones on the board here, but JJ, I want you to. 531 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:41,960 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 532 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,280 You know, I'm going for this is my guy Christian Jones out of Texas. 533 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:51,600 I think an elite athlete has consistently gotten better through that throughout 534 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,920 the course of his throughout the course of his career at Texas. 535 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,720 Man, this would make three Texas players that the bills have picked. 536 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,720 They had a really good team this year, though. 537 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,760 But Christian Jones, give me the give me the specs on him. 538 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,880 He's like, what is he, six six six three 21 six. 539 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:11,720 him. He's like what is he? 6 6 321? Yes, exactly right. 6 6 321. He's a senior so he's got a lot 540 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:18,120 of snaps. He has progressed in his, if you're going to look at overall grade, PFF I know we always 541 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:23,000 give this disclaimer that it's not a perfect science but I would say it's still a science. 542 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:31,160 And their overall grade for him has increased from 56 to 70 to 75. So he's shown not only 543 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,840 competent starting and increasing his abilities and learning, but he has been super super durable 544 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:42,680 through his college career. And he actually played left tackle and right tackle through his 545 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:48,120 three years in college with two thirds of his snaps coming at right tackle. And so I think 546 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:54,280 absolutely a player who has both left and right tackle flexibility, but certainly could come in 547 00:30:54,280 --> 00:31:01,800 and probably be a reasonable backup for on that right side initially for Spencer Brown and then 548 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,400 potentially replace him again if he leaves. I like the pick I'd probably take the same. 549 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,640 Oh, would you? Yeah, I've got you for braiding out and brailing Alan. So, 550 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,760 oh well, oh, that's I forgot that Brelin Allen was there because I'm looking at 551 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,480 tackles and guards right now. But yeah, Brelin Allen 100% screw Christian Jones. I want my 552 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:23,960 thunder to to James Cook like. Yeah, I think if the board falls this way, can you scroll down a 553 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:29,720 little bit? Yeah, just a tad just a tad. I think Javon Foster out of Missouri is the pick that 554 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:37,080 Bean would make. Yes. Yeah, I think he's I think this is their guy 65319 like kind of standard 555 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:45,720 tackle size has excellent kind of pass block and zone zone blocking grades and could be their guy 556 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:52,440 showed up against some better competition. South Carolina, Georgia had decent games against Florida, 557 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,240 Arkansas, Ohio State. So really could could bring it even though he was from a school that might 558 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,920 not have the top competition all the time. Yeah, I loved Christian Jones film against Alabama. He 559 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:08,200 had one of his best games of the season there. And they have some good ad ruptures too. Dude, 560 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,720 they always do. I mean, and he was playing against elite elite competition day in and day out, 561 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,760 repping and rep out. But that that Alabama game man, he he was he was excellent. Excellent. 562 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,160 And that ultimate decider Christian Jones for the draft. It's it would be Christian Jones for me. 563 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:30,200 I think Bean picks Javon Foster. Yeah, okay. I like it. All right. We have a pick coming up in 564 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:39,320 just three, two, one spots pick 144. We are on the clock, sir. All positions are on the board. 565 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:46,520 All right. So now this feels like a great double dip position for the bills. So in this spot, 566 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,200 I want to look at wide receiver again, if you don't mind, sir, I can tell you already, 567 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:57,320 Taj Washington is the best one on the board. But there is one Luke McCaffrey that is also on the 568 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:02,760 board at this point. I like Taj Washington. But remind me, he's like small, right? He's like 10. 569 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:09,000 Yeah, yeah, he's I don't know. There's a lot of small fast slot guys that are on the board at this 570 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:19,240 space. Taj Washington, the other Illinois, Isaiah Williams, a wide receiver, Luke McCaffrey is six 571 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:26,760 feet, I believe. Yeah, he's like an even six to six to six to so yeah, see, I like I like the bills 572 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:32,600 adding a little bit of athleticism and size on the outside. And McCaffrey can do that. He's a great 573 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:40,040 competitor overall too. Like I just like this is gonna sound so like draft talky. But his his his 574 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:48,280 comp ability to compete at the point of catch. Like he plays really strong against press man, 575 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,960 like he's really hard to knock off his route. I really like McCaffrey at this kind of value here, 576 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,120 sitting here in round five. But can you also put some DBs on the board? 577 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,920 A corner like specifically. Yeah, because I think the bills and again, I think the bills might 578 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:08,920 actually punt this particular need to like the sixth round. But Kamal Hayden from Tennessee is 579 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,480 sitting on the board. What do you think of that kid? I like Kamal Hayden quite a bit, but I like a 580 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,920 different cornerback that popped up on the board. A couple, couple ranks down. Kamal Hayden out of 581 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,720 Tennessee, I think is will be a fine rotational definitely not going to be your CB one early 582 00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:32,920 in his career. But he's 61, 187 can represent in the in man and zone, better in zone, not great in 583 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,880 run support, not a willing tackler, which is why I don't think he's necessarily a fit for the bills. 584 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:44,520 But Dwight Mcglothern, who I've mentioned on the pod saw yeah, Arkansas CB 6 to 188. 585 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:52,520 And counter to Kamal Hayden, it has a much better run defense great for his size. And in terms of 586 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,600 being willing to come up and kind of be nasty and meet people on the edge and that sort of thing. 587 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:04,360 So that would be that would be my pick. But me, him I a Pritchett out of Auburn also worth mentioning 588 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:12,360 because he's got special teams ability, he has both man and zone capabilities. So there's a few 589 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:23,080 players there. But are you still picking McCaffrey? I'm picking Luke McCaffrey. But I think Mcglothern 590 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,920 would be the pick for being Mcglothern would be the pick for me too. Yeah. Yeah. I think because I 591 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:34,280 do think I think the bills are looking at CB, right? Yeah. And I wouldn't rule CB out around one. 592 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,640 But if they don't find anyone in round one, I think it's something that they use some of these 593 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:43,160 day three picks on because again, they just they feel like they can develop guys at this 594 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:48,680 particular position at will. And that has been true for the most part to some extent. 595 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,120 And I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't rule out a post June one trade of Kyler Elam too if 596 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,360 if they ended up using some capital here. All right. So where are we at now? We are in 597 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,920 we are have you picked 160? Yeah, I've already picked Luke McCaffrey. We're down to pick 160 598 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:13,640 Great Decider. And you have four picks remaining 160 200 204 and 248. So I'm not going to lie. 599 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:21,640 I think after after we after pick 200, we are probably trading 204 and 248 for future late 600 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,200 round picks next year. You think so? And I think that's what I think that's what I think that's 601 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:36,920 what Bean would do as well because we have drafted we will have drafted 1234567 guys 602 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,360 at this point. And I don't think 10 guys are making the roster. I don't even think nine guys 603 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:47,000 are making the roster at this point. I think Bean would likely trade for future draft capital. 604 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,440 But who do we who do we got on here? We got my boy Malak Mustafa. Yeah, Malak Mustafa to 605 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:58,760 wake forest is there. The player I like to pick at this point when I do the mop drafts Joe Milton 606 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,640 the third out of Tennessee, it's not going to happen because the bills already have three 607 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,920 QBs on the roster and that's all they've ever carried into the camp. And so it's so unlikely, 608 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:14,040 especially having just signed their backup for two consecutive years. And so I don't think he's 609 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:20,200 coming back but I love his traits. Yeah, Malak Mustafa is there. Zach Zinter, Michigan Guard is 610 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,240 on the board. He is a powerful interior offensive lineman. I don't think he's ever going to 611 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,040 this late in the draft available, but I don't think so either. Same with come out come all 612 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:35,080 Hayden still there. I don't know why. But yeah, because I think he's probably gone in the third 613 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:42,760 or fourth. Yeah, Javon Foster tackle out of Missouri is there. Yeah, I think I think Foster 614 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:49,240 has gone way before this point to Miles Murphy is interesting as a potential double dip defensive 615 00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:59,160 interior lineman out of North Carolina. 310 6 4 standard three tech size. Yep. And we've done 616 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:04,360 we've done a fair amount on the offensive side of the ball here JJ. I'm tempted to go defense to 617 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:14,360 balance it out. We still don't have a CB or a safety. We do we got cold. We got cold Bishop, 618 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,680 but we don't have a C. That's yeah. And I think at this point this is where the bills might 619 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,320 splash a little bit. So let's pull up. Let's pull up just cornerbacks. 620 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,840 Yep. And just cornbacks. We still have come all Hayden and Dwight McGill other and we still 621 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:35,800 have me him I me him I a Pritchett. M. J. Devonshire. We know the bills love CBs out of Pittsburgh. 622 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:43,160 Oh, my God. But he's probably going to still be there at 200. I would agree. And I know that 623 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:48,600 you and being would have picked McLeodern with with our previous pick, given that he's here 624 00:38:48,600 --> 00:39:00,920 on the board, I would absolutely take him with my pick. Taken. All right. So let's hit 200. 625 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,720 Do you want do you want to try to get up into the 170s or 80s with the rest of our draft? 626 00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:12,040 I don't think so. Now I mean, we could but 627 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:20,920 the reality of the situation is I don't know how much value there is here to like pick swapping 628 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:28,440 up this high. But again, it depends on the day of. So there's a couple of guys here that I really 629 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:34,200 like steel chamber. Oh, you clicked on them steel chambers linebacker out of a have to every time. 630 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:39,640 I don't care. Like years ago, I don't remember who it was, but the bills picked like tank something 631 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,440 or other. I was like, you got to take a guy in sixth round or seventh round if he has a cool name. 632 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:51,000 Absolutely. Those tank bigs be absolutely. Devon Shire still on the board here at this particular 633 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,920 point. Let's see here. Scroll down just a little bit for me if you wouldn't mind. 634 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,520 And remember that you have another pick four picks away. Yep. 635 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:08,440 I would go here JJ Tanner Bordellini, which is such crap. He's not going to be gone in third. 636 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,680 He's not going to be there, right? But in this exercise, he is there and I'm going to take him. 637 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,960 I would too. I mean, heck, if he's there, I'd always take him. 638 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,720 Absolutely. And for those of you that haven't heard us rave about Bordellini, 639 00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:28,120 he is the Center for the University of Wisconsin. What is he's like six, four, three, 640 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,560 twenty, three, ten, maybe I want to say. He is six, four, three, ten exactly. 641 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:39,000 Geez, look at this. Look at that. Redshirt Junior out of the University of Wisconsin has 642 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:45,400 interior position versatility, which we know the bills will the bills will absolutely covet. 643 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:53,160 Some Roth lettacism, a little bit of a project when it comes to his lateral hit is lateral footwork, 644 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:58,280 but ultimately could project out to be a guy if the bills can develop him correctly, 645 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,800 could project out to be a guy that is a long term piece of this offensive line. 646 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,920 And JJ, the bills need to start investing in some of these cheap, 647 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,960 cost-controlled prospects as opposed to constantly going back to the veteran well 648 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,360 on the offensive on the offensive line side of the ball. 649 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:20,120 Yeah, absolutely. And he's a player I think is going to be gone much higher. A player that might 650 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:26,600 still be out there, pick 200 and is another consideration is Hunter Norzad out of Penn State. 651 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:33,240 He's six, three, three, 15, has much better run blocking than past blocking at this point of his 652 00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:40,600 game, but is not a great athlete, probably has an RAS below five or below six at least. 653 00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:48,760 But is reliable, has had snaps at a couple of different positions in college, all the interiors, 654 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,040 and then both tackles as well three years ago. So. 655 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:59,160 Absolutely. I like that. He's landed at the spot in some of my mocks and I've taken him, 656 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:06,280 and I've had no regrets whatsoever. All right, so pick 204 JJ and then pick 248. And at this point 657 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:11,800 for the bills, keeping these picks as opposed to trading them, you're really talking about 658 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:18,600 grabbing players that now you don't need to compete for as undrafted free agents. 659 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,280 So you get to control their draft rights a little bit, you get to bring them in, 660 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:27,880 and it saves you the negotiating phase over other teams at this point. I see you've clicked on 661 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,680 our friend Frank Gore Jr. I think he is too tiny and too light to be what we're looking for, but I 662 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:39,400 love that. I love the lineage. I love the lineage, yeah. Yeah, his pops was a good running back for 663 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:45,880 a little bit of time. Absolutely. Chase McGlellan, 5'11", 2'12", a little stockier, but not very 664 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,320 tall. Yeah, I think the bills are going to do something in free agency at running back the 665 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:57,400 more I think about it. Well, the longer it goes, the more likely it is. I would say this is the 666 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:03,400 part of a draft where the bills might be looking for more just throwing some darts at CBDBs. Yep. 667 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:09,560 Trey Taylor, Safety at Air Force, AJ Wood, CB at Pittsburgh, Josh Wallace, CB out of Michigan. 668 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:15,160 There's some people, Johnny Dixon, CB out of Penn State, some corners that they might, 669 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:21,560 you know, make a run at and again, MJ Devon Chirigan. The bills have a, the bills coaching 670 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:27,400 staff has a good relationship with the Pitt program and has for years, as we know from Dane 671 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:35,400 Jackson, DeMar Hamlin, who else came out of there? Maybe that's just those two. 672 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,720 I think it's just those two. Yeah. I mean, they have a, like you said, a well-established 673 00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:47,720 relationship with that group. JJ, in real life, this could be the Bob Mean Spot, wide receiver 674 00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:54,840 double dip here. Yeah. He does not appear on PFF's Top 300 for whatever unknown reason. He's not 675 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,840 there. I've looked for him. Searched so many times. I've searched so many times. Far and wide. 676 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:04,200 I think in real life, this could be a Bob Mean Spot, absolutely. But here, I would go, I would 677 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:09,240 go Devon Chirigan. I think they take the double dip. Yeah. I think they take the double dip at CB 678 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:17,160 and just see who they can develop here. And again, defensive line while important, we have seen 679 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:21,800 amazing defensive lines and better than anything that the bills could possibly field, 680 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:27,000 fail to get to and bring down Patrick Mahomes. But with that wide receiver core, if you can keep 681 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,040 them covered and blanketed for a long enough amount of time, that extends your ability to get to him. 682 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:37,800 And then here, JJ picked seven. I could honestly see the bills just taking a linebacker. It's not 683 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:43,160 a pressing huge pressing need for them because they've got Dorian Williams. They've got Dorian 684 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:50,120 Williams. They signed Nicholas Moreau. But I could see them taking a project here, pending with the 685 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:55,400 ultimate long term health outlook for a guy like Matt Milano is going to be. So I could see them 686 00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:02,360 taking a project. May I may I interest you in two potential fits? Yes. We have linebacker out of 687 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:09,720 Mississippi State Nathaniel Watson, who's a Milano sized guy, doesn't have quite the athletic 688 00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:15,880 profile, but definitely has that kind of smaller linebacker who's a little bit lighter, a little 689 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:21,640 bit better in coverage. Jordan McGee, who's a little bit more of a hammer, 6'3, 250 plus, 690 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:29,160 or 225 rather. So he's a little bit lighter thinner, but still plays bigger than that. So those are 691 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:36,120 two. The I know we've picked kind of what seems like a lot of DBs, but one of my favorite late 692 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:42,600 round guys is still on the board here, Keetan Oledapo out of Oregon State. I do not know that one. 693 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:48,040 Oh, Keetan Oledapo. I don't. Yeah, I don't. I have no idea who you're talking about. 694 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:54,120 Over six feet over 210. So that's the kind of size that profile that the bills look for. 695 00:45:54,120 --> 00:46:01,160 And the biggest thing for him is that he is a box safety and run defenses his thing. I would not 696 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:07,000 trust him as a deep field kind of, you know, open field, get the C ball, get ball in the back, 697 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,320 you know, back of the defensive backfield. But he is definitely the kind of player that can play 698 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:18,760 that positionless, you know, the Poyer role we saw last year in 2023 season where he came down on 699 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:24,440 in the box and was covering covering tight ends, coming down and setting the edge on run plays. 700 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:30,360 That's Keetan Oledapo, Oregon State. I love it. You're talking me into him. You're absolutely 701 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:36,360 talking me into him. But already with so many DBs taken off the board, I think if the board 702 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:43,000 actually fell that way, I could see them going UDFA on that guy. But give me give me scroll back up 703 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:50,200 to the top if you want lines, because I like the kid out of give me the linebacker out of temple. 704 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:57,560 Okay, that is Jordan McGee. Yeah, I like that kid. Okay. Yeah, you'll take Jordan McGee. I would 705 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:05,720 probably take Keetan Oledapo just to make sure I had his rights and didn't have to compete with 706 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:13,000 anybody. Yep. That makes some sense there for sure. So that's it JJ. What a BS grade did PFF 707 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:18,840 give us? I'm sure it was terrible. Final grades of B minus, so not terrible. It celebrated the 708 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:26,120 AD Mitchell. It panned you for Tevandre Sweat. It panned you for Cole Bishop because the ratings 709 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,200 are so low on him. Yeah, weight to weight is an all pro PFF weight to weight is all pro PFF. 710 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,600 Give you an A minus on Christian Jones picks. That was good. Absolutely destroyed you on Lake 711 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:39,720 Luke McAfrey almost failed the draft with that pick apparently. Dwight McAleather was a B minus. 712 00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:45,480 Tanner Bordellini apparently we picked way too high because he was rated 212 and he picked him 713 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:52,040 at pick 200, which is nonsense. MJ Devonshire, you've got a very favorable pick for an A grade, 714 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,760 only other than AD Mitchell in this draft. And then Jordan McGee linebacker out of temple 715 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:03,160 at the end was a B plus. PFF is terrible. It's arbitrary. It's so just terrible. 716 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:09,800 JJ, if the draft actually ended up this way and we walk away with AD Mitchell, Tevandre Sweat, Cole 717 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,960 Bishop, Christian Jones, Luke McAfrey, McGleather and Bordellini, Devonshire and McGee, dude, 718 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:22,120 that is a haul. Oh my gosh. That's a haul. Absolutely. I mean, you essentially, I would say 719 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:28,440 from that draft, you get a starting outside receiver, you get a rotational defensive one tech, 720 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:35,560 and you get a probably special package safety and excellent special teams player. You get a swing 721 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:40,760 tackle possible and at least a second string around the offensive line. Luke McAfrey would be a 722 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:47,480 project or special roles wide receiver, probably also special teams, and then a potential to grow 723 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:52,520 into a starting CB in Dwight McAleather. Tanner Bordellini in two years will be the team's starting 724 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:57,160 center if he was ever picked by this team. Absolutely. And then some flyers on MJ Devonshire, 725 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:03,640 Jordan McGee, players that most likely would make it to the practice squad could get pilfered by 726 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:12,280 another team. But worth taking a shot on developmentally. And listen, I think there's some shenanigans 727 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:17,240 in the ladder rounds because we know lots of teams like to trade a six round for a six round because 728 00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:21,320 at that point, what does it really matter? So I could see the bills, I could see the bills doing 729 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,000 that. They've done a lot of that in the past. And I could see Bean also trading back in the 730 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:32,760 ladder rounds too for future draft capital next year as well. But dude, if the draft fell this 731 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:39,480 way to the bills, I would consider this an absolute win despite what PFF says. Yeah. Yeah, no doubt. 732 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:45,320 No doubt. No, it's great. I would have taken Lahtu Latu though. I would have swung with some of the 733 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:51,320 wide receivers in the second or third because I just think he's going to be special. I agree. Had we 734 00:49:51,320 --> 00:50:00,280 gone with Lahtu at that particular point, I would have absolutely traded 60 and some future draft 735 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:05,320 capital to see if we could get higher into the second round. Because I just don't think 736 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:12,040 the profile of wide receiver the bills need make it to 60. I think we see a run on those tier two 737 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:21,080 wide receivers very, very early on in that second round. And I am scared that the bills miss out. 738 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:26,600 On a guy that they absolutely need and could develop if they sit back and play it that way. 739 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:32,520 Sure. Absolutely. I could see it too. Yeah. So no, good stuff though, all the way around. I'm 740 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:37,800 sure I'm going to get roasted for not taking Lahtu because he's my edge one. I think he's going to 741 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:43,240 be great. You know, and the bills desperately need to bolster that area. That's the one area we didn't 742 00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:49,080 pick any. We didn't pick any edges. No. Except you and Lahtu and round one, we didn't pick a single 743 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:55,800 edge for our beloved Buffalo bills here. But there's also some guys in free agency post draft 744 00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:02,120 that I think they're going to dance with. I will say too that after the first six to eight 745 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:08,440 defensive ends in this draft, you're looking at a pretty steep drop off and a pretty big projection. 746 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:15,240 After that, yeah, maybe stretch it to 10 where you're like, okay, I can reliably trust them for 747 00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:21,320 some productivity as a starting at rotational edge rusher. After 10, though, I'm like, that's, 748 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,720 you're really going to have to convince me that that's a good pick anywhere in the top three rounds 749 00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:31,240 after the 10 edges that are kind of going to laterally the front. It's just a lot of when you 750 00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:37,240 get down that deep on the board. It's a lot of undersized guys that are kind of tweeners. I mean, 751 00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:42,600 they could be alive. Also aren't elite athletes. Right. That's the problem, Dan, is like, 752 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:48,840 it's people without size and without the elite athletic profile or the exceptional like hand 753 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,160 fighting and kind of pass rush moves. Right. So they're kind of positionless players at that 754 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:58,600 point. They could be a linebacker. They could float to edge. If we play to three, four, maybe, 755 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:05,960 but we don't do that. We play a four down lineman base nickel scheme. And at that point, you just 756 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:16,200 don't need an undersized edge on your roster. So there yeah, I, I, I don't think unless the bills 757 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:21,960 tend to it early. And again, edge could very well be the pick in round one, round one could be anything 758 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:28,840 from edge to corner to offensive linemen to wide receiver. And I wouldn't rule out interior offensive 759 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:34,840 line of Zach Frazier or Graham Barton falls to that level either. But which I don't, I don't 760 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:41,000 ultimately think will happen. But after round one JJ, I think the bills, it's business as usual 761 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:45,480 for the bills. I think the draft becomes a far more predictable after round one for them. 762 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:52,200 No, I think you're right. I think I would say after round two, because I think that they're, 763 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:59,080 they're going to try to be swinging hard in the first and second round for players that are immediate 764 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:08,200 impact starters. Allah, you know, Osiris Torrance and Dalton, I'm okay, Dalton, 765 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:13,960 concave. Yeah, so they have proven this past year that they that's sort of like that I think that's 766 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,760 what they consider I hit in the draft is Dalton, concave comes in and he immediately breaks all 767 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:24,440 of the rookie receiving records for the team. And Osiris Torrance comes in and is the only 100% 768 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,840 snap player on the offensive line that was probably the best offensive line Josh Allen has had in his 769 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:35,640 entire career. And so I think that that's what they're probably focused on. And whomever they get 770 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:41,000 at positions of need at those two spots is going to determine what I think this team thinks of this 771 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:47,800 draft. Anything else is great. I agree. I agree. I also don't think there is a world where they 772 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:53,800 draft AD Mitchell and round one. I sit firmly that after Brian Thomas, Jr. they don't ever 773 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,920 have a round one grade on any wide receiver. So pay attention, Bill's mafia to the first four wide 774 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:05,960 receivers off the off the board, because if Brian Thomas, Jr. is one of them, then or first five 775 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,800 wide receivers, then I believe the Buffalo Bills are going in a completely different direction 776 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:15,080 around one. Absolutely. But JJ, that was fun. That that's also probably as we have mentioned, 777 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:19,800 a feudal exercise, because none of this is going to be correct. Nonetheless, it was really fun. 778 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,600 And it gives us a chance to talk about a lot of prospects that we haven't had a chance to talk 779 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:29,080 to in any of our other draft previews before. So we're just putting more good information out 780 00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:36,200 there for Bill's mafia to digest as we approach the April draft. So JJ, fun as always, for those 781 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,400 of you listening at home, like share and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, 782 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:50,840 Google Apple Spotify, and as always, Go Bill's.
