00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,120
Welcome back to the Buffalo Bread podcast.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,440
JJ here and with us tonight, a special tradition,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,160
a tradition like no other.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,320
Friends of the Bills, not Friends of the Pod,

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,560
AFC East three round mock draft.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,840
We have Steve representing the Miami Dolphins,

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,720
Brandon representing the New England Patriots,

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,320
and sadly Jared couldn't make it,

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,280
so Dan will be representing the New York Jets,

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,960
the New Jersey Jets, if we're honest.

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,080
We're gonna do three rounds, trades eligible,

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,280
and to kick us off here,

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,920
I'm going to ask Steve, our Miami Dolphins GM,

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,600
to introduce himself again to the pod.

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,480
It is April 22nd.

16
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:42,720
We are just a few days away

17
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,360
from the first round on Thursday,

18
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,680
and let's get this thing going, Steve.

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,520
Great.

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,360
Good evening, everybody.

21
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,720
Thank you, JJ and Dan, for inviting me back again this year.

22
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,520
Been a Miami Dolphins fan for my entire life,

23
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,800
and the time is now.

24
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,320
It's a win now scenario for the Miami Dolphins,

25
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,840
and you see that chipping chips can be won in the trenches,

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,520
and this draft is gonna prove it for the Dolphins.

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,760
Until you guys draft,

28
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,920
save your worthy with your first overall pick

29
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:16,760
in the first round,

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,080
because McDaniel needs speed on that offense.

31
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,880
You guys aren't gonna be able to resist.

32
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,720
I know.

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,040
Brandon.

34
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,960
How's it going, guys?

35
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,720
Thanks for having me back again this year.

36
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,000
A little more humbled than I was last year.

37
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,400
Now that the Patriots have scored the fewest amount of points

38
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,320
of all 32 NFL teams, but happy to be here.

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,880
And Dan, give us a primer on your jets.

40
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,400
JJ, there are a lot of needs

41
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,640
that the New Jersey Jets have coming into this year's draft.

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,080
No more prominent to me than punter.

43
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480
So I will be looking early and often

44
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,520
at that key special teams position,

45
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,640
particularly with the stop-dent pick.

46
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,160
No, I'm gonna play it straight for our friend, Jared, here.

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,400
We talked in case you didn't get a chance to hear it

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,000
a couple of months back,

49
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,800
and the immediate aftermath of the Chiefs winning

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,040
yet another Super Bowl,

51
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,200
we did our first run,

52
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,360
a round of friends of the pod, not friends of the Bills,

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,400
and Jared humbly went first there.

54
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,840
And he really did a meticulous job

55
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,240
kind of laying out what the Jets needed.

56
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,720
And I'm gonna kind of follow his game plan

57
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,560
that he laid out then.

58
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,480
So hopefully it's gonna be a good,

59
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,120
but not too good draft for the New York Aaron Rodgers.

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,240
Excellent.

61
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,120
Let's this thing off.

62
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,040
Dan is gonna be running our board here.

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,520
So you're gonna expect to hear him popping in and out

64
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,840
as we direct these picks

65
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,880
and move down through this image.

66
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
All right, so for everybody listening at home,

67
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,720
we are drafting using the PFF mock draft simulator.

68
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
There's a lot of good mock draft Sims out there.

69
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,440
We simply prefer PFF

70
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,640
because it allows for some pretty reasonable trade-ups

71
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,600
that really do mimic the real-life situations

72
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,040
that we think we're gonna face

73
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,640
in the draft itself here in the next couple of days.

74
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,720
And it also gives a variety of kind of tweaking options.

75
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,960
We pretty much play all of the settings here,

76
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,200
right along the middle of the board,

77
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,520
except randomness.

78
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120
We tend to tune down a little bit

79
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,280
to give you the listeners the most realistic kind of outcomes

80
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,120
that we think will be available on the board

81
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,840
for each of these four AFC East teams.

82
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,840
As JJ mentioned, we are allowing trades both up and down.

83
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,960
I'll be managing the board

84
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,920
in addition to managing the Jets.

85
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Brandon will be picking for his AFC East team

86
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,280
we'll be picking for his AFC East,

87
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,520
former AFC East great New England Patriots.

88
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,560
And then we've got Steve drafting for the Miami Dolphins.

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Three rounds and three rounds only

90
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,440
to see what we can get done here.

91
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,760
Are you guys ready to go?

92
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,000
I see thumbs up across the board.

93
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,200
All right.

94
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,920
So we are gonna go ahead

95
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,520
and we're gonna hop into the draft simulator here.

96
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,280
Now for those of you listening at home,

97
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,400
we've got this speed set to super slow

98
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,720
to allow for a couple of things.

99
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,200
One, the ability to trade up and pause the draft

100
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,120
if anyone is interested in doing so.

101
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,200
But two, we really wanna debate and talk about

102
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680
what the impact of these potential picks could be.

103
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,920
JJ and I have been in our bag in draft season

104
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,560
for the past few months now.

105
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,560
And this is gonna give us a chance to dive deeply

106
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,160
into some prospects who are probably not attainable

107
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,040
for the bills, but will have an impact in the AFC East

108
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,040
should they go to one of our rivals.

109
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,520
So if you guys are ready,

110
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,760
we are gonna get it started here.

111
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,600
All right.

112
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,240
And no surprise, Chicago Bears go QB.

113
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,600
Washington commanders also go QB.

114
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,280
So Brandon, both Caleb Williams and Drake May

115
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,120
off the board here for you.

116
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,280
And your New England Patriots here with pick three.

117
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,600
The world, however, my friend is your oyster

118
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,240
with tons of blue trick prospects available.

119
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,280
And you also have five trade offers for this pick as well.

120
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:08,320
Brandon, where do you wanna start here, my friend?

121
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,280
I can filter all these by position

122
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:11,480
so you can have a look at the players

123
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,760
that are on the big board for a particular position

124
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960
in either you have or I can pull up your trades.

125
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,880
What do you want me to do?

126
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,720
Can you start by pulling up the trades

127
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,040
because I think that's the way that I'm leaning right now.

128
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,840
And let me know what the best offer is.

129
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:26,760
Interesting.

130
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,720
So you've got a trade here for number five

131
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,320
is the first pick here from the Los Angeles Chargers.

132
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,800
After that, the New York Giants are interested

133
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,800
in trading up with you from pick six to pick three.

134
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,280
You've got the Seattle Seahawks

135
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:45,760
who wanna come up from 16 to six.

136
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,200
The Ravens wanna come up from 30.

137
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,720
And then you've got the Cleveland Browns

138
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,280
who don't have a first round pick this year.

139
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,920
They're picking in the second round

140
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,480
thanks to the DeSean Watson trade

141
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,440
that just keeps on giving.

142
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,040
So they wanna trade up all the way from 54 to three

143
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,160
which I don't think has been done in NFL history.

144
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,920
The amount of capital that it would take to go from there

145
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,320
to a top 10 pick is unreal to me.

146
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,920
So Brandon, what do you wanna evaluate here first?

147
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,080
Now how this works is you can select

148
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,040
the team you wanna trade with.

149
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,200
You will work the compensation that you think is fair.

150
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,560
And then we'll take a couple of cracks,

151
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,360
four cracks to be specific at making a trade.

152
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,600
If the trade is rejected on the simulator

153
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,000
four times in a row, then the trade is dead

154
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,360
and you gotta pick a player.

155
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,360
Okay, all right, so I'm interested in this fifth pick

156
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,240
from the chargers.

157
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000
So what do I have to give up to make that possible?

158
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,920
Well, let's see.

159
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,000
So I'm right down here and this is great podcasting

160
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,840
for all the folks at home that are audio only.

161
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,600
Right here, percentage trade acceptance on both sides

162
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,240
once teams add picks.

163
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,560
So you want the five pick, four, the three pick.

164
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,400
And this is a lopsided pick.

165
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,480
So you're gonna wanna throw something else in there.

166
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,800
So you've got a second rounder at 37.

167
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,280
You've got the ability to trade

168
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,400
for a future first rounder from them as well.

169
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,520
You could also select a player.

170
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,840
May I humbly suggest also asking for their 2025

171
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,800
first round pick and see what that does.

172
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920
Yes, let's see what that does.

173
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,760
83% chance to be accepted.

174
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,600
My friend, I think you could also maybe throw

175
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,600
in a third round pick this year too.

176
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,440
Wanna try that?

177
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,480
This 69th?

178
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Yep.

179
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Let's see what happens.

180
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,120
Goes all the way down to 39%.

181
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Not impossible to get it by, but still.

182
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,000
And I think the reason here is because you're really

183
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,600
trading a high premium pick for a high premium pick.

184
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,560
Interesting that they wanna draft up this high

185
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,040
with the QB in lock.

186
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,360
My guess is they want Marvin Harris and Junior

187
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,560
before the Cardinals have a chance to draft.

188
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,920
So go ahead and hit offer trade and see what happens.

189
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,760
Okay.

190
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,400
And you have an accepted trade.

191
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,720
So the trade on the books right now is New England

192
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,880
giving up the three.

193
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,080
They get the five and 69 this year

194
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,680
and they get a future first round pick

195
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,800
from the Los Angeles Chargers.

196
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
All right, so resuming the draft,

197
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,720
let's see what they end up doing with this.

198
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Malik neighbors.

199
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,080
Man.

200
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,960
And then Marvin Harris and Junior here

201
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
going to the Cardinals at four.

202
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,440
So now you are back on the clock here.

203
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,960
You still have Roma Dunes a here.

204
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,120
You still have Joe Alt,

205
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,120
who is the premier tackle on this draft.

206
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,720
You got a lot of options here

207
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,200
and you also have some trade back potential as well.

208
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,800
Still here at pick five.

209
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,600
What do you wanna do here, Brandon?

210
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,680
I really think we need that help at tackle.

211
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,480
There's a lot of talent in this class

212
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,080
at wide receiver and quarterback.

213
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,760
So what I wanna do here is take Joe Alt with us this

214
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,560
and see where we go from there.

215
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:49,400
Joe.

216
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,240
All right.

217
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,520
So our first official pick is in

218
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000
and Joe Alt is making his way

219
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,640
to the New England Patriots.

220
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,280
JJ, I personally hate that pick

221
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,080
because it's really good.

222
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,160
And you could argue that at that spot,

223
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,960
Alt might be a little overvalued,

224
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,480
but when you look at how decrepit

225
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,000
that New England offensive line was last season

226
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,080
to get a blue chip tackle prospect

227
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,040
that's gonna anchor the left side

228
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,480
of your offensive line for years to come.

229
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,880
I mean, as a Bills fan,

230
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,160
we have struggled in recent years

231
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,200
to come up with a consistent pass rush

232
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,200
and having a guy like Alt to go up against two times a year

233
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,000
just makes that job harder.

234
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,880
So my thought process,

235
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,640
we just re-signed on Wendell to a very expensive three year,

236
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,920
I think 57 million dollar deal

237
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,840
and Sandra Bullock said it best,

238
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,320
but you gotta protect the blind side.

239
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,720
So on Wendell's grade on the right,

240
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,040
we need somebody on the left

241
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,040
for whoever's gonna be under center,

242
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,480
throwing balls to KJ Osborne, our new top receiver.

243
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,360
Fantastic.

244
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,440
And you still have the opportunity, as you have said,

245
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,920
to kinda jam around a little bit

246
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,480
and find something viable later on

247
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,560
at wide receiver and the skill positions as well.

248
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:12,360
So no, I think a pick well made.

249
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,800
JJ, what were your thoughts on that one?

250
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,520
Oh, just that, you know,

251
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,000
I'm frustrated that the Patriots in this simulation

252
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,320
not only get the absolute best offensive line

253
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,320
in the entire draft,

254
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,520
but then they also get a first round next year

255
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,520
and a third round this year.

256
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,560
That's just like the rich get richer,

257
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,800
just stack that up with your super bowl victories.

258
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,920
Yeah, and this is the thing that,

259
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,520
and Brandon, this goes back to when we did our initial

260
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Friends of the Pod segment together.

261
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,280
Like this has been something

262
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,000
that I've been harping on for a while.

263
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,240
New England's got so many needs

264
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,440
to bring in a top three QB prospect right now

265
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,080
feels a little bit like not doing,

266
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,240
being a good steward of resources.

267
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,040
Trading back, still potentially being able

268
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,800
to get your QB of the future.

269
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,320
And develop more and have more kind of darts

270
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,120
to throw at the dartboard as far as skill position players go.

271
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,040
I think is the way that New England should go.

272
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,480
I mean, ideally Brandon, you guys would never have

273
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,480
to have a pick this high again anyway

274
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,480
if you're doing your job correctly.

275
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,640
So trading back and accumulating more assets to me

276
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,200
is striking while the iron is hot.

277
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,920
So I love that and I love slash hate the pick of Joel.

278
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,560
So let's see what happened here, New York.

279
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:31,480
So we are on the New Jersey Jets.

280
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,400
The New York Giants selected Kinyan Mitchell,

281
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,040
the quarterback out of Toledo, excellent prospect.

282
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,920
Brock Bowers comes off the board to Tennessee.

283
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,840
Tackle Tleis Fouaga from Oregon State

284
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,920
who's got inside outside versatility,

285
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,920
comes off the board to the Atlanta Falcons,

286
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,080
which is a little weird

287
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,800
because the Falcons really need edge help desperately.

288
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,840
But they go offensive tackle here, which, okay.

289
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,120
Byron Murphy, this feels a little high for him.

290
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,120
Defense of interior player from Texas

291
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,760
goes number nine to the Chicago Bears.

292
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,280
The Bears are a place, as we all know,

293
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,840
if you follow any kind of mock draft simulations

294
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,120
or mock draft reports,

295
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,360
is where a lot of teams have Roma Dunes a going.

296
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,440
This guy's comp to me as Kenan Allen

297
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,640
and he is sitting here at number 10 for a team

298
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,840
that desperately needs a number two wide receiver

299
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,320
and is also in win now mode in the New York Jets.

300
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,400
So for me guys, I'm going Roma Dunes a for the Jets.

301
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,360
Bowers is off the board, not an option, could go tackle here.

302
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,920
The next best tackle on here is Washington's Troy,

303
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,560
I'm always mess up this guy's name.

304
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:39,400
Fautanu.

305
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,920
Fautanu, thank you.

306
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,400
Troy Fautanu.

307
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,680
You also have Fautanu out of Penn State

308
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,560
and JC Latham, both available on the board.

309
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,200
10 is probably a little high for both of those guys.

310
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840
And again, this is a squad that's in win now mode.

311
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,640
We have Garrett Wilson and Roma Dunes a

312
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,240
on either side of the ball.

313
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,080
Roma Dunes a, he just catches everything

314
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,920
like a magnet that's thrown his way.

315
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,320
Aaron Raj is going to love a target like this.

316
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,000
And I would argue that even Nathaniel Hackett

317
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,960
could not mess up a duo like Wilson and a Dunes a.

318
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,720
So here we go Jets taking a Dunes a with the number 10 pick.

319
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,040
Thought about their guys trading back for a second round pick

320
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,240
because the Jets as we know as a result of the Rogers trade

321
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,000
do not have one in this year's draft.

322
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,840
So they're not going to pick again until pick 72

323
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,200
in the third round.

324
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,080
But to me, all is well with that.

325
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,000
They get a premiere wide out and regardless of what happens

326
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,840
this season in New York, should everybody get fired

327
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,440
it be a disaster of a season.

328
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,240
They've got two great foundational building blocks

329
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,640
at the skill positions to build off of next year

330
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,320
in addition to breeze salt.

331
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,440
So to me, it's a win all the way around.

332
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,440
All right, Steve, my friend, we are here at the Miami Dolphins.

333
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,760
And I absolutely hate all of the options you have available to you.

334
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,080
This is like if this board falls this way to you,

335
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,440
this is your most ideal situation because you've got needs

336
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,200
and both trenches, you also need wide receiver depth

337
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,360
and edge couldn't hurt either.

338
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,760
And man, do you have some options here?

339
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,680
So I've got the board in the top five up here.

340
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:19,440
You've got Johnny Newton from Illinois available.

341
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,000
You've got Dallas Turner edge from Alabama,

342
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,680
AD Mitchell and Brian Thomas, Jr.

343
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,280
both available wide receiver.

344
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,720
And then my my Creed Humphrey of the Strath,

345
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Graham Barton, the do everything offensive linemen out of Duke.

346
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,840
You also have four trade options available to you too, Steve.

347
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,240
So how do you want to play this?

348
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,920
Well, first and foremost, can I just say it absolutely

349
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,920
pains me to see the two previous picks

350
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320
come off the board right before the dolphins?

351
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,440
Fatah Nuh, Fashah Nuh and Mims, Amarius Mims.

352
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040
Yeah, like, you know, those I think about, you know,

353
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,240
building in the trenches, like those were the three guys that,

354
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:05,320
you know, I'm like, all right, one of them drop, you know, a couple of them just wasn't there.

355
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,440
So I think I'm going to pivot a little bit and look on the defensive side.

356
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,040
Can train to this.

357
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,760
Do you need a sort?

358
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,200
You want me to sort my position here?

359
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Just sort through for

360
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,160
here is a defensive line.

361
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,480
Absolutely.

362
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,600
Yep, I'll go defensive interior and I will add edge to that too.

363
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560
Perfect.

364
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,120
There you go.

365
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,560
So these are your top defensive interior linemen and edge players available here.

366
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,360
I mean, you got two rock solid options here on the on the defensive side of the ball.

367
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:47,880
Yeah.

368
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,000
And it makes me happy that you're going to pass on a guy like Graham Barton

369
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,600
if that is in fact where you decide to go.

370
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,800
So I'm looking at Dallas Turner here at edge.

371
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,800
Why?

372
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Just looking at the PFF simulator average draft pack,

373
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,000
why he fell down so far if he'd set 12.

374
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,840
It's a little bit of randomness.

375
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,600
OK.

376
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,040
And those tackles went higher even in the same night.

377
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Yeah.

378
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Could you flip back over to the tackle?

379
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Absolutely.

380
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,680
You want offensive tackle?

381
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,960
Yeah.

382
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,240
You got it.

383
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,120
We got OT and I'll throw.

384
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,440
You also have Anita guard.

385
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,600
So I'm going to throw interior line one pier as well.

386
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,880
Oh, God, the embarrassment of riches at this position.

387
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,040
JJ, look at all that beef, man.

388
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,320
I know. I love it.

389
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,720
I just said I'm salivating.

390
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,080
So just for all of you at home while Steve is mulling his options here,

391
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,440
he's got his pick of Graham Barton, Jackson Powers Johnson,

392
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,520
centered out of Oregon, Zach Frazier, who, listen,

393
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,880
on PFF is ranked 33rd average draft position of 41.1.

394
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:11,200
To me, Zach Frazier is the first round talent.

395
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,640
I think it's a little he's a little bit undersold for his versatility at guard.

396
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,960
He is not just a straight up center candidate.

397
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,040
And he to me is Creed Humphrey clone, like Zach Frazier out of West Virginia is incredible.

398
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Jordan Morgan, Traetze kid out of Arizona, Tyler Guyton tackle out of Oklahoma available.

399
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,720
And I think honestly, you can make an argument that any one of these folks,

400
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,840
Barton, Jackson Powers Johnson, Frazier, Morgan or Guyton,

401
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,840
maybe this is high for Morgan, but you could make an argument

402
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,800
that the other four absolutely suitable based on your team needs here.

403
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,440
You know, I think when you look at some of his versatility

404
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,440
on the line, we need that.

405
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,480
You know, I think what I'm looking at here,

406
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,840
positions at center, but can also play

407
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,520
guard.

408
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,320
So I think that's a good point.

409
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,880
I think that's a good point.

410
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,480
I think that's a good point.

411
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,080
I think that's a good point.

412
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,960
We also play guard if he needs to.

413
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,880
And the reality is who knows what injuries are going to bring to our offensive line yet again.

414
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,720
And so just trying to pay kind of best guy that could have some versatility there.

415
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,800
So that's what I'm going with.

416
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,240
Love it. I love it.

417
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,320
And I think, too, if Armstead can't make it through a full season, which he has

418
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,680
him in a while, Barton can be a guy that flashes to the outside.

419
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,200
He can start immediately for the squad at guard.

420
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,720
He can pop in at center, depending on what happens there for you guys.

421
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,520
This is just this is a Swiss army knife of an offensive lineman.

422
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,240
And he will serve your Miami Dolphins well.

423
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Yes. All right, JJ.

424
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Now is the time and you see who is on the board right off at the top.

425
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
All right.

426
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,640
So here's my here's my justification for what I'm what I'm about to say.

427
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,640
I know that all of Bill's mafia will be like, Oh, my gosh, Brian Thomas,

428
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,080
Jr. has fallen to 28 is available.

429
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,560
The somewhat, you know,

430
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,560
agreed upon fourth best wide receiver on the board is there.

431
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:30,480
And yet I am somewhat perplexed by this because I do want the Buffalo Bills to have

432
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,480
a third round pick one to I.

433
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,920
The fact that Brian Thomas fell tells me that not a lot of wide receiver talent

434
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,040
after the top three went.

435
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,400
And so that means there's more available in the second.

436
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,120
Can you scroll up real quick and let me just kind of give a quick synopsis of

437
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:53,840
who among the wide receivers has gone on the on the round list to left?

438
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Yep. Absolutely.

439
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,640
I think it's I think it's just the top three and 80 Mitchell.

440
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,120
Yeah. So with that, let me see the trade downs because that means that

441
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,920
you have 80 Mitchell went to the Vikings.

442
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,880
Yeah. Only four of the wide receiver talents in the whole draft have gone

443
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,160
in the first round instead of the eight that they're expecting.

444
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,960
And so let me let me look at the trades.

445
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:18,080
Baltimore at 30.

446
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,520
Will they give me their 62.

447
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,960
Or their 93.

448
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,440
Sixty for 28. Yeah.

449
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,800
Let's see.

450
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,720
They are not going to give you 62.

451
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,200
What about 93?

452
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,400
You got a 59 percent chance at 93.

453
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,480
Do you want to throw in even though we're not going to use it in this draft?

454
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,120
Do you want to throw in another fifth round or maybe?

455
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:40,640
Sure.

456
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,920
Yeah. Doesn't do too much craziness to it.

457
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,600
All right. Let's offer that.

458
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,840
All right. So we stay in the first round, but we add a much needed third round pick here.

459
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,520
So let's see what happens.

460
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,000
And they have accepted.

461
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,920
So the Buffalo Bills will be taking picks 30, 93 and 130 in the draft.

462
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,480
And the Ravens will trade up two spots to get.

463
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,720
Troy Franklin,

464
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,320
led, Mckonkey goes.

465
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,560
Oh, my God.

466
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,360
So I get.

467
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:09,760
Played. I get a third.

468
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,520
I get a third rounder and Brian Thomas, Jr. Send it.

469
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,720
Send it.

470
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Oh, my God.

471
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,920
There is no way draft day works out like this.

472
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,840
No, no, absolutely not.

473
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,200
But I will absolutely take it.

474
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,600
All right, my friend, Brandon, we have now hit the second round.

475
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,880
Zach Frazier, sadly off the board, Ed, Edis, Isaac from Edge from Penn State,

476
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,840
Tyler Guyton also go Troy Franklin and Lad Mckonkey before Brian Thomas, Jr.

477
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,720
JJ. Oh, my.

478
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,640
What a steal.

479
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,040
What a randomness.

480
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:39,880
What a steal.

481
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,920
I've said it to you.

482
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,040
I think Lad Mckonkey is probably the pick for the Bills in the first round.

483
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,400
And I think they go to try to get their X in the second or even or even trading up into the third.

484
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,160
I think they like Mckonkey a lot and his separation ability.

485
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,000
But damn, Brian Thomas, Jr.

486
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,240
and a third rounder.

487
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,360
Freaking men that it's also interesting that the the Ravens in the simulation

488
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:06,840
traded up to get Troy Franklin because there's like I know it's lying season,

489
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,160
but there's all this rumbling out there that Brandon Bean and the Bills brass is

490
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,960
very high on Troy Franklin.

491
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,080
Yeah, yeah, very interesting.

492
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,440
Interesting to see how much of this actually plays out in real life here.

493
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:17,840
All right.

494
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:24,200
So now we're at pick 34 for our New England Patriots expert, Brandon.

495
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,560
All right, Brandon, how do you want to play this, sir?

496
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:32,320
You've got you've got some you've got the ability here to take QB of the future.

497
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,880
You could also address offensive line again, should you need to.

498
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,640
And then you've got the ability to tackle some skill positions here as well.

499
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,720
Again, the world is your oyster, sir, and you've got two trade options available to you.

500
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,200
Yep. So I know what I'm going to do here.

501
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,760
I see Bo Nex on the board.

502
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:57,040
He's going to learn behind Jacobi Bresset for the next year.

503
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:03,120
I'll remind everybody listening on the pod that Bresset was originally drafted by the Patriots in 2016.

504
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:05,200
He's coming back on a one year deal.

505
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,640
We need a quarterback to the future.

506
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,800
So we're going to be taking Bo next year.

507
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,000
Love it.

508
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:10,880
I love it.

509
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,680
And if this plays out this way on draft day for you, I mean,

510
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:22,640
what a coup for the the New England Patriots to get offensive tackle their QB of the future

511
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:29,440
and still have so many bullets on day two and day three of the draft to really augment their

512
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,400
skill positions here.

513
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,000
Really. I mean, great stuff, Brandon.

514
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,040
God, I hope it doesn't work out this this neat and tidy for you on draft day.

515
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:37,360
All right.

516
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,400
So now we are back to our good friend, Steve.

517
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,560
All right, Steve, you're picking at 55 here.

518
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,720
And as of right now, this is your last pick in the draft because the Dolphins do not have a third

519
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,000
rounder this year.

520
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,040
You do have one trade option available to you.

521
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,840
So what do you want to do?

522
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,040
You want to make a pick or you want to get some more bullets for the gun here?

523
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,360
Let's take a look at the edge players that are beating.

524
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,320
My friend knows exactly what he wants.

525
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:02,800
I love it.

526
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:11,440
Well, the reality is Bradley Chubb and Jalen Phillips are, you know, no go for, you know,

527
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,640
much of the next season.

528
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,160
And so you need somebody to support there.

529
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,840
You know, a little bit younger, come in right away and just just go.

530
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,960
No, I agree.

531
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,160
And so much wide.

532
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,240
And you guys need wide receiver depth too, but so much talent has come off the board.

533
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,240
Leggette's off the board, went to Atlanta.

534
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Ricky Piersol goes to Las Vegas.

535
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,760
Tight end.

536
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,400
Jattavian Sanders from Texas goes to the Saints.

537
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,200
Yeah, I mean, Roman Wilson goes to the Steelers.

538
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Malachi Corley goes to the Browns.

539
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,440
I agree.

540
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,680
I think it'd be a reach for a wide receiver here.

541
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,360
And I got to tell you, you got one of my favorite players on the draft sitting

542
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,040
staring you're right in the face and Marchand Nieland from Western Michigan.

543
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:01,600
But you also have Jonah Ellis at Utah on the board, Chris Braswell, Xavier Thomas is there.

544
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,720
And then Jalix Hunt out of Houston Christian.

545
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,200
So.

546
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,720
55, I think you could make an argument for Nieland, Braswell or Ellis based on draft

547
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,520
failure here.

548
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,400
But what do you think?

549
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,200
And you want to do here?

550
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,120
I think Nieland's the way to go.

551
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:16,960
Absolutely.

552
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:23,040
God, you get two of my favorite players in this draft and Graham Barton and Marchand Nieland.

553
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,920
Oh my God, may it not work out this well for you.

554
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,280
So, you know, Steve, interesting, you decided to attack the trenches there as opposed to

555
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,720
going for skill positions.

556
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,840
I have a sneaking suspicion that McDaniel can't help himself and is going to draft a wide

557
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,000
receiver with one of your first two picks.

558
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,760
What do you think the likelihood is that the dolphins will actually realize their

559
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,640
deficiency in the trenches and go the way you went?

560
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:56,080
I mean, the reality is we have two phenomenal wide receivers in Waddle and Hill.

561
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:04,240
You know, Hill coming off what could have been a record setting year in many ways, but

562
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:12,880
then right behind them from a depth chart perspective, you have guys that can fulfill

563
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,520
different roles within their team.

564
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,280
So I'm trying to pull draft.

565
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:24,480
Depth chart, if you're real quick.

566
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,200
Yeah, you've got guys like Braxton Berrios.

567
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,800
Braxton Berrios, right.

568
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,200
You know, and Braxton Berrios or Craft.

569
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:41,520
They're kind of specialty guys, depending on the setup and everything.

570
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:50,480
Having Joni Smith at tight end getting him for this year, I think is going to help out

571
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,480
tremendously.

572
00:26:51,480 --> 00:27:01,040
And so to me, just waiting, I think there's enough there to keep you moving in a good

573
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,920
positive direction.

574
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:10,240
You know, and I think too, Alec Engel is going to be a very good, very good, very good,

575
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,720
is going to be a very interesting player for next year for us as well.

576
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,280
Just thinking about that extra protection for Tua, knowing that if one of our starting

577
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:25,680
guys gets injured, he's going to have to help block a little bit to continue to do that.

578
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:33,840
But in terms of the wide receiver, when you look at the final game against Kansas, granted,

579
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,000
you know, everything that could have went wrong, the last three, four games went wrong

580
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,280
for the dolphins.

581
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,120
But they were exploited in the trenches on both sides.

582
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:49,280
I mean, Kansas City just dominated them.

583
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,960
And to me, like, I just don't see how you can overlook that.

584
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,480
Yeah, no.

585
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,560
I mean, listen, it's, it is valid.

586
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,280
It's something that JJ and I, for the bills, have been harping on for years to build kind

587
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,280
of in the trenches.

588
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,120
And I think they've been less than successful for the past few seasons with the exception

589
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,240
of the offensive line this past year.

590
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,520
So no, you can never go wrong throwing premium picks at big uglies.

591
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:15,520
Yeah.

592
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,120
You know, and I feel like a broken record last year at this time talking about the draft,

593
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:24,480
you know, I same thing, got to protect Tua, got to win it in the trenches because of injuries

594
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,520
and guess what happened?

595
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,480
Injuries yet again, please, you know, the trenches.

596
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,640
And so just keep rebooting, you got, you got your guys, you know, you got your star cast.

597
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,800
Now just go win it.

598
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,400
And that's going to be done to be offensive and defensive wide.

599
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Absolutely.

600
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,880
And cheap contracts in the trenches as you're about to pay your franchise QB all assume

601
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:53,120
into a, I mean, it never hurts to have talent in the trenches on really affordable contracts.

602
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,360
So two great picks for you, even if you don't have another third round or coming to you.

603
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,680
All right, JJ.

604
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,480
The bills are on the clock and I've pulled up all positions I assume you're going to

605
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,080
want to look at, which is wide receiver, OT and defensive interior.

606
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,320
Well, you didn't pull up edge.

607
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,320
So failed.

608
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,480
No, I couldn't reach your mind.

609
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,480
I'm so sorry.

610
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,480
I could not.

611
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,480
No, it's all right.

612
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Yeah, I just wanted to get a look at.

613
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,960
Do you want safety here too?

614
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,040
Sure.

615
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,040
And we're scrolling.

616
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,040
So you're worthy of sitting here.

617
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,640
Well, as you guys were talking about the Dolphins building the trenches, I was just like, well,

618
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,320
maybe the bills are just going to try to get it for our area out of the garage with Xavier

619
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,800
were worthy of your Jermaine Burton.

620
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:45,600
Although I heard some worrying things about Jermaine Burton might be a kind of personality

621
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,600
problem.

622
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,280
So yeah, we're not going to go with, you know, Xavier worthy or Tes Walker or any of those

623
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,280
deep threats.

624
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,400
I think the pick here for the bills is going to end up, they're going to probably turn

625
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,840
to the trenches.

626
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:05,640
And so I'm going to go ahead if you want to scroll up to the top of the list.

627
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:11,640
I'm going to take Jonah Ellis out of Utah.

628
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,640
Defensive end.

629
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,000
He's the we know the bills really like Utah.

630
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,760
They know a little bit about him from drafting Dalton concade.

631
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,120
And so I think that's that's a good pick.

632
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,440
They're going to start to lean towards the trenches now that they have Brian Thomas,

633
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,440
Jr. Absolutely.

634
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,440
Absolutely.

635
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,160
Yeah, no, I couldn't agree with you more.

636
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:36,000
And here on the board, Chris Braswell, Adrian Cooper go right after that pick.

637
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,360
A couple other noteworthy picks here.

638
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,640
Christian Haynes, guard out a Connecticut, which a lot of bills fans like goes to Washington

639
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,200
in the third round.

640
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,240
Xavier worthy third round to Arizona.

641
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,240
All right.

642
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,200
So now Brandon, you get to pick back to back.

643
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,880
My friend, 68 and 69.

644
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,280
What would you like me to you have no trade options, at least none that you none that

645
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,800
are being offered to you.

646
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,280
So what do you want to look at here?

647
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,640
You've got your QB.

648
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:02,640
You've got your tackle.

649
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,560
You want to start looking at some skill positions here in the third round.

650
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,600
I'm going to be taking a wide receiver here.

651
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,400
And you've got good options on the board, man.

652
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,040
You really do.

653
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:22,000
Yvontes Walker out of North Carolina, Javon Baker, who is one of my favorite pass catchers

654
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,800
here in this draft.

655
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,160
Jalen, Jalen McMillan out of Washington.

656
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,080
You've got Jamari Thrash out of Louisville.

657
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,080
Man, you've got some you got some real options here in the third round.

658
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,080
What do you want to do?

659
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:40,880
Um, I think I'll just take the best option in Jermaine Burton.

660
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:47,720
And then if you don't mind, we're going to switch over to once we pick up him.

661
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,040
We're going to pick up.

662
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,120
What do you want to look at next?

663
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,520
The best player on the board.

664
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Best player on the board right now is Kieran, a Meg Dijay out of Yale.

665
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:02,920
Okay.

666
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,920
Thank you.

667
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,240
I just I just asked that question so I could hear you pronounce the last name.

668
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,240
I did it.

669
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,240
I did it.

670
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,240
You did pretty good.

671
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,240
Oh, wow.

672
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:19,760
You want to double dip at QB and take Spencer Rattler who's still on the board?

673
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:20,760
No, I don't.

674
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,760
I do not want to do that.

675
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,160
I mean, what have you addressed?

676
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,400
You've addressed tackle QB and wide receiver.

677
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,320
I would argue that you guys also maybe have an edge need to though.

678
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,760
I don't know how good the value is here in the third round.

679
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,760
Yeah.

680
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,920
And your guys and your guys offensive line was so bad last year.

681
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,560
It almost might not even hurt just to put through multiple bullets there.

682
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:57,520
You've got Cooper BB and Mason McCormick available Kansas State and South Dakota State respectively.

683
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,240
I really like BB is an interior guy.

684
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,640
You guys need help all over that line.

685
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:08,320
Mason McCormick also has some inside outside versatility on the offensive line too.

686
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:14,000
Two of my favorite players ignore the 93 and 95 draft rankings from PFF.

687
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
These are guys who could easily go in the third round.

688
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Okay.

689
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:24,240
Why don't we throw a dart on Mason McCormick?

690
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,240
Yeah.

691
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,360
I love the I love these South Dakota State kids, man.

692
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,040
All FCS all the time.

693
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,640
That's a hell of a draft for you, sir.

694
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,640
All right.

695
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,280
And now we're back to the jets who have addressed wide receiver and still have multiple deficiencies

696
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,360
in other areas.

697
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,280
So we've got tackle defensive interior I want to kick around with.

698
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,200
I'm not so worried about their secondary or their defense.

699
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,960
Some interior help would be nice, but to me it's all about the offense for the New Jersey

700
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:53,960
jets.

701
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,520
Now, I know they've done some things in the off season with the offensive line and trying

702
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,240
to bolster that.

703
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,760
But a lot of it, one year contracts, rental talent, injury prone talent, they're going

704
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,000
to need some young affordable depth here.

705
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,120
So I'm going to go with we've got a couple of tackles available here.

706
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,400
We've got a Meg DJ out of Yale who's available.

707
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,440
We have Brandon Coleman, TCU Blake Fisher out of Notre Dame, who I've mocked a couple

708
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,280
of times to the bills in certain situations.

709
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,320
And then after that, it's looking really, really thin at tackle.

710
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,840
BB could be an interesting option for them too, especially depending on the health of

711
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,580
Elijah Vera Tucker.

712
00:34:33,580 --> 00:34:38,040
I am going to go here though with Blake Fisher out of Notre Dame.

713
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:43,680
I just think his, his, uh, hand fighting is really advanced.

714
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:49,240
I like the style of offensive line skills and traits that they try to teach at Notre

715
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:50,240
Dame.

716
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:54,040
I think you can never go wrong with taking an offensive lineman from Notre Dame and

717
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,160
Fisher to me as a ton of upside and honestly could go earlier on day two in the second

718
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,160
round.

719
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,800
So I'm going to go ahead and with the final pick for the New Jersey jets, I want to take

720
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,320
one Blake Fisher.

721
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,320
All right.

722
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:13,560
So now we are moving on to the final pick in our three round mock draft.

723
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:20,840
Number 93 Savvy traded for by JJ Brandon Bean to get back into the third round here.

724
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:21,840
All right.

725
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,920
So JJ, what do you want me to pull up here for you with our final pick?

726
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:32,480
Um, just running back running back and safety.

727
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,800
Okay, that's better.

728
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,800
Okay.

729
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,400
We can, we can still pod together.

730
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,400
Okay.

731
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,400
All right.

732
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,480
Excuse, what happened to Jordan Poyer?

733
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,480
What do you mean?

734
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,960
You need a safety.

735
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,760
Yeah, no, he's going to play 11 games for you guys this year.

736
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,000
That's the don't, you know, don't sweat it.

737
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,320
Um, I enjoy as an aside, like I have to just make this tangent go.

738
00:35:53,320 --> 00:36:00,280
Um, as an aside, uh, Jordan Poyer was on, um, the centered on Buffalo podcast with, um,

739
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:06,920
uh, Derek Wood and Eric, one of Eric Wood's bonus questions for him is, okay, it's like

740
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:14,640
work week 15, you and the, you know, dolphins are up in Buffalo in the snow and Josh Allen

741
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,800
splits a seam up the middle, you know, running the ball and you are alone.

742
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:20,800
What are you do?

743
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,400
And I thought that, uh, Poyer handled the question famously.

744
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,920
I mean, he said, I'm going to get him to the ground.

745
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:32,680
I don't know how and I don't want that situation, but I will get him to the ground somehow.

746
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,680
All right.

747
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,360
So, but that aside, aside, um, the reason I wanted you to bring up safeties and running

748
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,960
back is because I think in this round for this draft for the bills, if they can check

749
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:49,840
the box of defensive linemen and, uh, wide and premier wide receiver, their next biggest

750
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:57,320
need is to is the safety position, even though they re signed, um, you know, uh, Taylor,

751
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,480
uh, wrap, uh, Taylor wrap and Mike and they signed Mike Edwards away from the chiefs,

752
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,480
even though with those two signings for starting safety caliber players, I think they need

753
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,840
to plan for the future because that's a, um, wraps contract is a three year that's really

754
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,320
kind of a one year and Mike Edwards is a one year, um, minimum value.

755
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:20,560
So, um, I love daydream Taylor Demerson out of Texas tech for safety.

756
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:25,560
He's kind of that deep kind of, you know, um, center fielder type safety.

757
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,160
Um, I like cam kitchens, even though his testing was not so great.

758
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:35,360
Uh, and you know, there's a lot of safeties in this kind of range in the draft that I

759
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,160
think would be good shown.

760
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,040
Valkyrie might be able to play running back for you cold Bishop out of Utah.

761
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,960
Do we double dipping Utah?

762
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,440
Um, I know that that's your, your boy, Dan, cold bishops, my number one safety in this

763
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,960
draft, this ranking of one 32 is absurd on PFF Malik, Mustafa as well.

764
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,360
I don't think is ever going to be there this late in the third round.

765
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Um, so I say all that, but I will say I trust the process with Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott

766
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,720
being able to get defensive backfield players in later rounds.

767
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:14,400
And in this reality, the bills have an extra, I think three fours now with that trade I

768
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,400
made.

769
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,560
And so, um, we're going to go with Breyland Allen.

770
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,560
Whoa.

771
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,040
Coming back out of Wisconsin.

772
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,480
Oh my God, you're drunk at the wheel, sir.

773
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:31,560
No, no, no, because they need a, they need a past protecting giant tank of a running

774
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:32,560
back.

775
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,280
They don't have that right now in the backfield and he's going to be playing every, you know,

776
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:41,160
every snap, safety's only get thrown at every soft.

777
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,560
Oh, okay.

778
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,560
All right.

779
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,560
All right.

780
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,920
I will, uh, I am forced to click on that.

781
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,920
So there it is.

782
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,680
All right.

783
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,000
Let's analyze here what we did.

784
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,000
All right.

785
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,640
So full results, your results.

786
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,760
Let me see my first round.

787
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:03,760
All right.

788
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,240
So not bad.

789
00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:10,520
Brandon, your takeaways from this draft, great trade down.

790
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,400
You solidify the future of that offensive line with Joe Alt.

791
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,960
You solidify the future of the, of QB with bone X potentially, but also because you've

792
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,840
taken him in the second round, I'll, I will lavish last season in Tennessee.

793
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,400
He also no pressure to start.

794
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,160
He can play behind your Kobe percent and figure stuff out.

795
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:35,200
You addressed skill position and you addressed, um, what was the other position you nabbed?

796
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,680
I forget full results.

797
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,600
If you want to scroll up.

798
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,800
See, we got an edge.

799
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:41,800
Yep.

800
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:42,800
You're not getting edge.

801
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,800
Yeah, that's right.

802
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,800
I mean, Brandon, how you feeling about your draft?

803
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,160
How would you feel if this is the way it shook out for your boys on draft day?

804
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:56,120
Um, I don't know, uh, because I think the Patriots have so many needs.

805
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:02,360
It's a really difficult question that I'm glad that I'm not in a realistic position to

806
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:08,000
have to answer because I think these guys are drafting for their jobs to be quite honest.

807
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Um, and if they don't get it right, then, um, you know, the coaching personnel, uh,

808
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,640
is probably going to change again.

809
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,800
Um, and so you think one and done for mail?

810
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:26,880
I think if this year ends up being a total bus like last year, then I think that's a

811
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:27,880
real possibility.

812
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:28,880
Yeah.

813
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,880
Oh, wow.

814
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,880
Um, you know, even as I traded down, like I had, you know, I had a lot of, you know,

815
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,560
I traded down like I had the question of whether or not I should have taken, um, Marvin

816
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:42,760
Harrison, Jr. Um, or gone for, you know, Drake may, if he was still on the board, um,

817
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:49,400
or even JJ McCarthy, you know, like the quarterback position is obviously very important.

818
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:56,080
Um, but I also feel like very rarely does a first round quarterback hit.

819
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:01,320
And so there's just so many needs, you know, trading down, taking the best tackle with

820
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,320
Joe Alts, um, with the fifth overall pick, I feel was a big win.

821
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:11,560
And then, you know, Bo Nix, um, has a lot of going for him in terms of accuracy and decision

822
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,560
making.

823
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,080
I think he's a really smart player.

824
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:21,360
Um, and if we can get the ball to the hands of KJ Osborne, um, other receivers in New England,

825
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,080
then I think we'll be okay.

826
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,080
Yeah.

827
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,080
Yeah.

828
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,760
No, I think solid all the way around.

829
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,360
I would hate this draft if it actually, if it actually came out in real life.

830
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,360
Yeah.

831
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:39,240
Um, Steve made the most out of your two picks again, building in the trenches.

832
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:43,760
Um, I love the Nealon pick and I love the Graham Barton pick, right?

833
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,120
I know you didn't get a chance to draft a third round, but what's the type?

834
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,240
What would have been your next pick for this squad?

835
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:54,160
If you had had a third round bullet in the chamber, would you have gone skill position

836
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,120
or wide receiver or would you have gone somewhere else?

837
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,440
I'd gone wide receiver.

838
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:00,440
I would.

839
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:07,960
Um, I think because there's potential like in terms of cliff and everything in terms

840
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:15,360
of talent and third round, I think is where you could still get some really good value,

841
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,240
um, and find some good talent there.

842
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:21,400
Um, not saying rounds four through seven, you can't.

843
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:28,240
Um, but you know, we address offensive line, we address the defensive line.

844
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:32,400
Now you know, let's see what's out there as far as wide receiver is concerned.

845
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:40,480
Um, or do you look again to draft, uh, maybe a linebacker, you know, some, you know, something,

846
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,680
uh, to help fill another void, depending on best available.

847
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:45,680
Yep.

848
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:46,680
Absolutely.

849
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,800
And then JJ, uh, man, loved your draft.

850
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,440
And for Braille and Allen, that one, man, in the third round, you are, uh, you're making

851
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,880
the Zach Mock's Moss pick look, uh, look a little look really good there.

852
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,880
But I appreciate the rationale that you put behind it.

853
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,520
Braille and Allen over all those safeties though, really.

854
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,160
So yes, yes.

855
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:18,560
And because, and this is why, because the bills have so much day three ammunition, I'm

856
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,600
just taking a flyer that DB's will be more available because Braille and Allen for me

857
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,480
is a top five running back in the draft.

858
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:32,280
Um, and I think that he's a talent who he's basically the exact body type and skill set

859
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:37,080
that they've needed to compliment James Cook for the past two years.

860
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:42,360
And they don't have to mess around with, you know, um, Ezekiel Elliott on a one year deal

861
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,360
or anything like that.

862
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:49,040
He can bring somebody in on a cost controlled deal and he can even take over for Cook, you

863
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,480
know, if they'd chose not to resign him as they didn't with Devin Singletary being it's

864
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,080
an under, it's an undervalued position in the league during free agency.

865
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,080
Yeah.

866
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,400
No, I mean, the rationale works for sure.

867
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,000
Um, all, all the way around rock solid drafts.

868
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,080
We didn't get a chance to talk about the Jets draft too much, but I think just nabbing

869
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,760
a dunes a and of itself and then a rock solid tackle on Blake Fisher.

870
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,640
I think New Jersey fans would be ecstatic at that.

871
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:21,080
Um, again, a dunes a my compass, Keenan Allen, Aaron Rogers could use a nice young target

872
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,960
that just catches everything thrown his way.

873
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,080
I would take a ton of pressure off of Garrett Wilson.

874
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,480
So all the way around, I think scary stuff.

875
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:34,600
Teams in the AFC East would get markedly better if this is how the draft would end up being

876
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:35,800
for sure.

877
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,600
But yeah, crazy stuff.

878
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,400
Guys, listen, we're wrapping up here.

879
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,440
I really appreciate everybody hopping on to do our, what has become an annual tradition

880
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,560
of friends of the pod, not friends of the bills, AFC East mock draft.

881
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,000
As JJ noted earlier, we are days away from the trap.

882
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,960
So this episode will be posting on a Tuesday.

883
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:59,600
And then if you tune back in on Sunday evening post draft, you can get our breakdown of not

884
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,280
just the bills, but all of the AFC East picks that ended up going down in three days of

885
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,280
the draft.

886
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,680
So a little bit of a scheduling shift here for Buffalo bread, but we appreciate you sticking

887
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,200
with us for all of you listening at home.
