- 1:55Speaker 1: Disguise Coverage. I know, the regular show Tuesday, I'm Eastern
- 2:01Speaker 1: every Tuesday, didn't happen this week. Some things when cydeways
- 2:04Speaker 1: for me a little bit last minute and the week
- 2:05Speaker 1: nothing crazy, just things. One of those sideways had to pivot.
- 2:09Speaker 1: So here we are on this Thursday edition of Disguise
- 2:11Speaker 1: Coverage and talking about, as the title states, and as
- 2:15Speaker 1: the episode description states, ranking the Buffalo Bills remaining roster
- 2:20Speaker 1: needs across the board. We had legal tampering last week,
- 2:25Speaker 1: the first wave of free agency last week, with all
- 2:27Speaker 1: of those things starting to come through in conjunction with
- 2:30Speaker 1: the extensions that we've seen, some of the cuts that
- 2:34Speaker 1: we've seen across the league, some of the re signings
- 2:38Speaker 1: we've seen across the league, and obviously the Bills falling
- 2:40Speaker 1: into several of those categories themselves. The Bills twenty twenty
- 2:44Speaker 1: five rosters starting to significantly take shape, and they have
- 2:47Speaker 1: operated much in the same way they have the past
- 2:50Speaker 1: couple of years. We had the Bosa splash similar to
- 2:52Speaker 1: what we had with the Von Miller splash a couple
- 2:53Speaker 1: of years ago, but for the most part, this offseason
- 2:56Speaker 1: is and even the Bosa splash is still kind of
- 3:00Speaker 1: operating in the vein of what they do for the
- 3:02Speaker 1: most part every offseason, which is try to plug as
- 3:05Speaker 1: many holes as possible, do what they can to alleviate
- 3:09Speaker 1: a lot of the stress points on the roster so
- 3:11Speaker 1: they can head into the draft with several needs or
- 3:15Speaker 1: tweaks or upgrades potentially available, but that they will be
- 3:18Speaker 1: able to go with that kind of BPA, that best
- 3:20Speaker 1: player available model, and just let the board come to them,
- 3:23Speaker 1: let the board fall to them. Ron is already in here.
- 3:25Speaker 1: It says, please at speed at cornerback in the draft.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Corner will be a conversation point tonight where it falls
- 3:32Speaker 1: for me, where it falls for you folks here in
- 3:34Speaker 1: the live chat. We'll see as we start to go forward.
- 3:36Speaker 1: But yeah, this Bill's twenty twenty five rosters started to
- 3:38Speaker 1: take significant shape, given the moves they made to start
- 3:41Speaker 1: free agency, given how the rest of free agency has
- 3:44Speaker 1: fallen across the league, and given how the rest of
- 3:47Speaker 1: this roster looks. So in this episode, I'm going to
- 3:49Speaker 1: be diving into my top three positions of need, ranking
- 3:52Speaker 1: them from one to three, and then I've got a
- 3:54Speaker 1: couple honorable mentions as well, And through all of this,
- 3:56Speaker 1: the conversation is not just in relation to what the
- 4:00Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season will look like, but really what
- 4:02Speaker 1: it is beyond. I think anytime you can address both
- 4:05Speaker 1: the short and long term, obviously you're going to be
- 4:08Speaker 1: in better shape for yourself as a franchise and as
- 4:11Speaker 1: a team, regardless of what sport that you're in. But
- 4:15Speaker 1: for the Bills in particular, they've got several positions where
- 4:21Speaker 1: the concern isn't just twenty twenty five, it's potentially twenty
- 4:24Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty twenty seven, and there's a lot of
- 4:26Speaker 1: things that are starting to take shape, and I think
- 4:28Speaker 1: they have an opportunity to address several of those issues.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Some of the holes are larger than others, or twenty
- 4:32Speaker 1: twenty five versus the future, how you rank weigh all
- 4:35Speaker 1: of those things, and then all putting that within the
- 4:37Speaker 1: perspective and the landscape of several draft targets that I
- 4:41Speaker 1: like at each of these positions of need, particularly on
- 4:44Speaker 1: day one and day two. As we go forward, especially
- 4:47Speaker 1: you know the end of this month, of March. All
- 4:48Speaker 1: throughout the month of April, we will be diving into
- 4:51Speaker 1: more of the draft aspect of its specific targets in general,
- 4:56Speaker 1: across the board, specific targets throughout through the Bill's lens.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Day one, Day two, Day three targets, round by round targets,
- 5:04Speaker 1: positions of need, all of that. So this is also
- 5:06Speaker 1: a little bit of a draft setting, table setting episode
- 5:10Speaker 1: as well. As we start to go forward here in
- 5:12Speaker 1: this episode of disguised coverage, for those of you playing
- 5:14Speaker 1: at home and joining me live here on this Thursday evening,
- 5:18Speaker 1: feel free as we go throughout the chat. Some of
- 5:20Speaker 1: you have already done so in the chat up to
- 5:22Speaker 1: this point. Give me your rankings, your thoughts, your concerns.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Who you want? Is there someone out in free agency
- 5:27Speaker 1: that you're still looking for? Is there someone in the
- 5:29Speaker 1: draft you know who's calling your name potentially? What do
- 5:32Speaker 1: you want on day one? What do you want on
- 5:35Speaker 1: day two? What do you want on day three? How
- 5:37Speaker 1: far ahead are you looking? What's your biggest issue with
- 5:39Speaker 1: the roster now? Anything and everything? Questions, thoughts, comments, concerns.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Whatever you folks got here joining me live, feel free
- 5:46Speaker 1: to put it up into the live chat super chats
- 5:50Speaker 1: get priority. So if you really got something that's super
- 5:52Speaker 1: pressing or you just want to donate, feel free anything
- 5:55Speaker 1: with super Chat I will pull up. I will bring
- 5:57Speaker 1: to the forefront and put it up on the screen.
- 5:59Speaker 1: One because there was a back the monetary donation. Two
- 6:01Speaker 1: because the color attracts me or attracts my eyes and
- 6:05Speaker 1: pulls me away from my notes like a cat with
- 6:06Speaker 1: a laser pointer. So questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, super chats,
- 6:09Speaker 1: anything and everything you folks have, feel free to put

- 6:17Speaker 1: grab some of Oh appreciate the like that was dropped
- 6:22Speaker 1: from Everton LVO Kosert concert. I'm probably not pronouncing that
- 6:26Speaker 1: last name right, but I respect you to thank you
- 6:27Speaker 1: very much for dropping the like. Here big Papa Bill saying,
- 6:31Speaker 1: go Bill's Kaya Moury, what's okay, Maury Kya Moury says
- 6:33Speaker 1: the celebration for the upcoming documentary featuring Ray Davis watching
- 6:37Speaker 1: Aunt Joe Marino. Yeah, that was super cool for those
- 6:40Speaker 1: who don't know. I don't know where the picture came from.
- 6:42Speaker 1: I think it came from Ray Davis's Instagram. It was
- 6:44Speaker 1: sent to me and then tweeted out and I was
- 6:46Speaker 1: tagged in it. But they were doing like a documentary
- 6:49Speaker 1: for Ray Davis, and this picture was, like I guess
- 6:51Speaker 1: in like his living room and he's sitting on the
- 6:53Speaker 1: couch and then there's like a kind of a camera
- 6:55Speaker 1: crew in front of him and up on his TV.
- 6:58Speaker 1: On the man to like above the fireplace is an
- 7:00Speaker 1: episode of Lockdown Bills from yesterday featuring myself and Joe Marino.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Joe Marino had me on as a guest, and so
- 7:06Speaker 1: I guess Ray Davis is just watching that episode of
- 7:08Speaker 1: Lockdown Bills. So it's it's a picture of Ray Davis
- 7:10Speaker 1: on his couch smiling for the camera with a camera
- 7:13Speaker 1: crew in there, and then up on his TV is
- 7:15Speaker 1: Joe Marino and myself, which is pretty cool. Thank you
- 7:20Speaker 1: for acknowledging that. That was awesome. Just to be new, says,
- 7:21Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for the late night cover one OnlyFans,
- 7:24Speaker 1: hey man, there might be so there might be something
- 7:26Speaker 1: to that little a little this and a little of that.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I don't you know, maybe we'll see it at some point.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Thomas says, I want coverage sacks to be a thing. Again.
- 7:36Speaker 1: That's a huge point with my piece for Corner. I'll
- 7:38Speaker 1: save some of that conversation as we go there. But yeah,
- 7:41Speaker 1: the bills, I think, from a coverage standpoint, need to
- 7:43Speaker 1: do a better job of restricting or constricting airspace. They
- 7:48Speaker 1: need to do a better job kind of taking away
- 7:50Speaker 1: the freebies, getting into receivers a little bit, getting into
- 7:53Speaker 1: pass catchers a little bit, kind of giving up the
- 7:56Speaker 1: the no cover zones and the hooked the curls and
- 7:59Speaker 1: the flats as much as they have in the past
- 8:01Speaker 1: is starting to bite them a little bit. And then,
- 8:04Speaker 1: you know, especially when you don't necessarily have the horses
- 8:06Speaker 1: up front, and even if you do have the horses
- 8:07Speaker 1: up front, you're still not seeing that marriage. So yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 1: I think, you know, better coverage overall, but in particular,
- 8:13Speaker 1: tighter coverage, more disruptive type of coverage is something I
- 8:17Speaker 1: would absolutely welcome, Teddy says Aunt. He says, the nicest
- 8:23Speaker 1: guy in Buffalo Sports. I don't know if I'm the
- 8:24Speaker 1: nicest guy in Buffalo Sports, but I appreciate you being here.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Thank you very much for the kind words. K Moore,
- 8:28Speaker 1: He just says, I want I want good players with
- 8:30Speaker 1: dope names, I would be I won't be a post
- 8:32Speaker 1: of that. Thomas says, uh, Oh, I like these, So
- 8:36Speaker 1: he says, Trey Amos, Andrew mccouba, and Noel Williams unless
- 8:39Speaker 1: they do something in free agency. Those are several of
- 8:42Speaker 1: his targets. No Williams and Trey Amos or each corners,
- 8:44Speaker 1: Andrew mccouba, safety from Texas. Oh, I like that, RJ says,
- 8:48Speaker 1: So you all got any of those CB twos left?
- 8:51Speaker 1: Nice Chappelle show reference there, Ron says, Aunt, if Shamar
- 8:54Speaker 1: Stewart fell to thirty, would you want the Bills to
- 8:56Speaker 1: draft him? Do you think Amos will be a first
- 8:59Speaker 1: round pick? Maybe the Bills take him at thirty. So
- 9:02Speaker 1: I'll start with two things. One, I'm still working my
- 9:05Speaker 1: way through Edges, and I'm doing the Texas A and
- 9:08Speaker 1: M boy Schamar Stewart and Nick Scurton in conjunction with
- 9:11Speaker 1: one another. I've just started, so I'm not fully through
- 9:15Speaker 1: in order to speak to Stewart right now, but he
- 9:18Speaker 1: is on my radar. He will be spoken about on
- 9:19Speaker 1: the show or social actually both. So I'm intrigued by
- 9:24Speaker 1: his testing and even some of the stuff I've seen
- 9:26Speaker 1: on film right now, but I'm nowhere in a position
- 9:27Speaker 1: right now to get my full evaluation or thought. Amos
- 9:30Speaker 1: on the other hand, So Trey Amos right now is
- 9:33Speaker 1: my CB four. I really really really like him. I
- 9:36Speaker 1: have a late first round grade on him. My dream
- 9:39Speaker 1: scenario right now. We'll get to it as we go forward.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Here is Trey Amos at thirty or John A. Barn
- 9:45Speaker 1: the corner from Texas. I just don't think Baron's gonna
- 9:47Speaker 1: be there. Do I think Amos will be a first
- 9:50Speaker 1: round pick. I think he could creep into the first round.
- 9:52Speaker 1: I would like it to be the Bills, but even
- 9:54Speaker 1: if it's not, I could see him going like between
- 9:55Speaker 1: the twenty five, Between like twenty five and thirty five.
- 9:58Speaker 1: I really feel like it's a sweet spot for Amos.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I like him a lot. I think different teams might
- 10:02Speaker 1: value different things at corner, but for me, I think
- 10:04Speaker 1: his combine did a lot to you know, long speed
- 10:07Speaker 1: was a question for him. He answered that a bit
- 10:09Speaker 1: with his testing at the combine, and then you put
- 10:12Speaker 1: the tape together. I really really really like him a lot.
- 10:16Speaker 1: I feel very strongly about Trey Amos. Maybe the Bills
- 10:19Speaker 1: take him at thirty. I would very much like it
- 10:21Speaker 1: for the Bills to take him at thirty. I just says, dude,
- 10:25Speaker 1: that's awesome. Now you need Ray Davis in the film.
- 10:27Speaker 1: We're trying. We have another couple things in the works
- 10:31Speaker 1: for the next cover or separate weeks coming up, several
- 10:34Speaker 1: weeks coming up, clubbing already we're on the under ten minutes,
- 10:37Speaker 1: and yes, we got some uh got some things coming
- 10:39Speaker 1: through for them. Daniel says, draft a round one defensive tackle,
- 10:43Speaker 1: Round two CB, Round two second pick, defensive ender edge.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I think that's a decent formula. I'm pretty much on
- 10:51Speaker 1: board with that. I might flip one or two of those.
- 10:52Speaker 1: We'll find out as we start to go forward here.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Argi says he forgot the coverage sacks were of thing
- 10:56Speaker 1: Thomas's third and long hoo. Ron says, CB seems like
- 10:59Speaker 1: a much dinner position group. Go CEB in the first
- 11:02Speaker 1: and then DT and d E in the second. That's
- 11:04Speaker 1: part of my thinking overall with the draft philosophy again,
- 11:06Speaker 1: which I'm going to get into as we start the
- 11:08Speaker 1: segments here, mainly because I like, I think this like
- 11:12Speaker 1: the defensive tackle tiers, depending on how you have them
- 11:16Speaker 1: tiered like tier two through like four or five or
- 11:20Speaker 1: even six, depending on any how you have them. Tiered
- 11:23Speaker 1: has legitimate value and depth to it. You can get
- 11:25Speaker 1: a quality starting defensive tackle or a high end like
- 11:28Speaker 1: or a high like you know, defensive tackle three with
- 11:31Speaker 1: those second round picks. EDGE a little less so CB,
- 11:36Speaker 1: I think even a little less so than EDGE. So
- 11:38Speaker 1: this is part of why I want more you know,
- 11:41Speaker 1: CB in round one. But I'm very agreeable to a
- 11:44Speaker 1: lot of different things. Oh, Daniel says, nice show with
- 11:47Speaker 1: Joe Marin or earlier this week, maybe day. Thank you
- 11:48Speaker 1: very much for checking it out. I always appreciate every
- 11:51Speaker 1: time Joe asked me to come on, so it was
- 11:52Speaker 1: awesome to be able to talk talk some ball with
- 11:55Speaker 1: him about the new free agents, their schematic fits, their
- 11:57Speaker 1: skill sets, all that type of stuff. But I did
- 11:58Speaker 1: you checked it out? Thank you, Daniel, very nice. Ron
- 12:00Speaker 1: says thinks that no, no, thank you, RONI I appreciate
- 12:02Speaker 1: you being here and asking, Oh God, Charles, why are
- 12:05Speaker 1: you doing this to me? Charles says, if Trey Amos,
- 12:08Speaker 1: Kenneth Grant, and Malachi Starks are on the board, who
- 12:11Speaker 1: you got? Oh boy? Okay, I'll start with this Grant
- 12:18Speaker 1: would be third, just because I think I could also
- 12:22Speaker 1: get I think the drop off between Grant, even though
- 12:24Speaker 1: Grant is very athletic, especially for his size. I think
- 12:27Speaker 1: the difference between Grant and a defensive tackle I could
- 12:30Speaker 1: get in round two, I think that difference is smaller
- 12:33Speaker 1: than the difference between Amos at thirty and a corner
- 12:38Speaker 1: I can get in round two and Starks at thirty
- 12:40Speaker 1: and a safety I could get in round two. Boy Oh,
- 12:45Speaker 1: I don't want to be that guy who says tie,
- 12:47Speaker 1: but I feel like I gotta say tie. I really
- 12:49Speaker 1: love Trey Amos and CB spoiler is the biggest need
- 12:55Speaker 1: for me on this roster right now. Starks I just
- 12:58Speaker 1: think is going to be really really really really really good,
- 13:00Speaker 1: but safety isn't the biggest need. I'd probably say Trey
- 13:04Speaker 1: Amos one A, Malachi Starks one B, and then Grant
- 13:07Speaker 1: would be second, slash quote unquote third. Oh, Charles, you
- 13:11Speaker 1: knew how to put me in a bind early who
- 13:14Speaker 1: this stressed me out in a good way? Good question?
- 13:16Speaker 1: Good question, Franzo says, not going to lie. I wouldn't
- 13:21Speaker 1: be mad if we ended up with Nick m and Warri.
- 13:22Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about nick em and Warriy in this episode,
- 13:25Speaker 1: so he like where your head's at. Just the tippy
- 13:27Speaker 1: Canoo says the Vikings pick at twenty four. They only
- 13:29Speaker 1: have four picks total. Hypothetically, if we trade up that
- 13:32Speaker 1: far for a player, how much compensation would that take
- 13:35Speaker 1: and for who? I'll start with the who. I think
- 13:38Speaker 1: it would be for a corner, and I thought that
- 13:39Speaker 1: it would be, you know, for John A. Baron if
- 13:42Speaker 1: he fell, or potentially defensive tackle. Maybe Derek Harmon is
- 13:47Speaker 1: still there, and I think Harmon would be a good fit.
- 13:49Speaker 1: You know, I don't get I don't want to spoil
- 13:51Speaker 1: too much as we go forward, but I think it
- 13:52Speaker 1: would be for you know, a corner they really like,
- 13:56Speaker 1: or a defensive tackle, or an edge that they really like.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Outside chance at wide receiver. I think potentially maybe safety,
- 14:01Speaker 1: but I think it would be for a corner or
- 14:03Speaker 1: a defensive tackle. You say, how much compensation would that take?
- 14:06Speaker 1: I'd have to do like the drive the trade chart calculations,
- 14:09Speaker 1: but my thought would probably be you're moving off from
- 14:12Speaker 1: thirty to twenty four. Maybe I got to see where
- 14:16Speaker 1: their fourth round picks are. You know what's tough too,
- 14:18Speaker 1: is they don't have a third, so that's what makes
- 14:20Speaker 1: it like money, Like, it's definitely not you're definitely not
- 14:22Speaker 1: doing your first and a second to move up that four,
- 14:24Speaker 1: I prob that far. I'd probably say, you know, pick
- 14:27Speaker 1: thirty and then one of the fourth rounders may be
- 14:30Speaker 1: also a fifth maybe something like that, like maybe multiple
- 14:35Speaker 1: day three picks because you don't have a three. But
- 14:37Speaker 1: I don't think it will cost it three anyway, So
- 14:38Speaker 1: I'd probably say, like, pick thirty and then one of
- 14:40Speaker 1: the fours and maybe also one of the fives or
- 14:42Speaker 1: the sixes or something like that. A fair question. Royce says,
- 14:46Speaker 1: this is the time of year I start learning about
- 14:48Speaker 1: rookie prospects and folks like you and I don't watch
- 14:50Speaker 1: college football, so I know nothing about the prospects. I
- 14:52Speaker 1: appreciate you, right, thank you very much for having faith
- 14:55Speaker 1: in me as one of the people for you to
- 14:57Speaker 1: go to when it comes to learning about the college
- 14:59Speaker 1: game and prospects and all that. I appreciate that. Rob
- 15:02Speaker 1: Stot says, I think there's some decent projected round four
- 15:05Speaker 1: corners like Strong and Alexander Good corner double dip candidates.
- 15:08Speaker 1: In my opinion, there is a good uh, some good
- 15:10Speaker 1: double dipping, but that could happen on day three for
- 15:12Speaker 1: the Bills. RJ says, I'm drafting Starks. This is the
- 15:15Speaker 1: question earlier from Charles that I'm drafting Starts and trading
- 15:17Speaker 1: back up to thirty one for Amos. I like that.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Ron says, I think Starks will be long gone by
- 15:21Speaker 1: pick thirty, but CEB is much greater positional value. I
- 15:24Speaker 1: agree with this on both aspects. I think Starks will
- 15:26Speaker 1: be gone by thirty, and I do think CEB is
- 15:28Speaker 1: the bigger need and positional value. Kay moy says, so
- 15:32Speaker 1: the doub day scenarios, those three are available to Bills,
- 15:34Speaker 1: taking out of them both. Daniel is all in on
- 15:37Speaker 1: his picks. He says Round one Walter Nolan Mississippi, Round
- 15:39Speaker 1: two Trey Amos miss a Corner from Mississippi, and round
- 15:43Speaker 1: two second pick, round two b JT TWUOI mo Allow
- 15:48Speaker 1: from Ohio State. I never pronounced jtt's last name. I
- 15:52Speaker 1: just always call him JTT because that last name always
- 15:55Speaker 1: gets me. But I think it is Twoe mo Allow, Molo. Yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 1: I think that's it. I was just flobble it, but yeah,
- 16:01Speaker 1: that's fair. Yeah, JTT does some fun stuff that I
- 16:03Speaker 1: think could fit Sawyer. The short arms either other Ohio
- 16:06Speaker 1: State edgeer. The short arms are a little bit of concern.
- 16:08Speaker 1: But the way he plays the run, his leadership, the athleticism,
- 16:11Speaker 1: I think that's also intriguing. I think JTT would be
- 16:14Speaker 1: more of a scheme fit because of his play style
- 16:16Speaker 1: and size. Al Right, ahright, Thomas is David Walker a
- 16:28Speaker 1: decent edge sleep pick. I haven't watched his tape yet,
- 16:31Speaker 1: so I can't speak on it. I'm still making my
- 16:32Speaker 1: way through. I've only gone through like the first like
- 16:37Speaker 1: three or four edges right now, I'm deep in defensive
- 16:40Speaker 1: tackle corner, starting with some safety, getting deeper with safety,
- 16:44Speaker 1: and then going through there. Ron says, I seriously doubt
- 16:49Speaker 1: Amost makes it to pick fifty six and second run. Yeah,
- 16:51Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he does, which is part
- 16:53Speaker 1: of my wants for him. All right, let's pivot now
- 16:57Speaker 1: to ranking the Buffalo Bill's remaining pass of need and
- 17:02Speaker 1: you know some draft prospects that potentially fill those needs. Again,
- 17:04Speaker 1: for those of you playing at home, let me know
- 17:06Speaker 1: in the chat two things. One, what are your rankings?
- 17:11Speaker 1: Two what you think of mine? You know I'm gonna
- 17:13Speaker 1: do my one. Feel free to put what your top
- 17:15Speaker 1: three are, list them however you want, order them however
- 17:17Speaker 1: you want. As I start to bring up my rankings again,
- 17:20Speaker 1: let me know what you think of my rankings, Let
- 17:22Speaker 1: me know what you think of the college players that
- 17:23Speaker 1: I'm potentially tapping to fill those needs, anything and everything
- 17:26Speaker 1: that's on your mind aside from that, obviously, again, feel
- 17:28Speaker 1: free to put into the comments as well. And again
- 17:32Speaker 1: super chats get priority. And thank you very much to
- 17:34Speaker 1: just the Tippy Canoe for your super chat and for
- 17:36Speaker 1: being here and the good question earlier. I like that
- 17:38Speaker 1: kind of set, in the set, in the tone there.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Arthur says, do you know if Larry Okunjoey signed yet?
- 17:45Speaker 2: Yes?
- 17:45Speaker 1: I believe he has because they had the presser and
- 17:47Speaker 1: did all that stuff. Jonas says, Hey, what do you
- 17:50Speaker 1: think about Grant versus Harmon versus Nolan in terms of
- 17:52Speaker 1: fit for the Bills defense? Harmon is a very good fit.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So if we're just talking about fit, it would be Harmon.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Second best fit is probably Nolan, but I like him
- 18:04Speaker 1: less than Grant. If we're just talking about peer like
- 18:06Speaker 1: archetypeal fit from the Bills, it's Harmon Nolan, Grant. If
- 18:09Speaker 1: you're talking about what I like individually, it'd be a
- 18:12Speaker 1: horror for the Bills. It'd be harmon Grant. Nolan. I
- 18:17Speaker 1: do like Granted, just have some concerns from a pass
- 18:19Speaker 1: Rush perspective and just the overall fit. But yeah, that's
- 18:23Speaker 1: kind of where we'll go. Nolan is a bit weird,
- 18:25Speaker 1: Walter Nolan kind of you know more I think, more
- 18:28Speaker 1: traits and upside than he is finished product, which is fine,
- 18:33Speaker 1: but then you know, goes off script a little bit
- 18:35Speaker 1: from time to time. Sometimes is just kind of playing
- 18:38Speaker 1: all over the place, and it's more of a bulletin
- 18:40Speaker 1: in a china shop than anything. But there is some
- 18:42Speaker 1: promise there, Ron says Alexander. I'm sure you're assuming you're
- 18:45Speaker 1: referencing Darius Alexander. We will be getting to We will
- 18:49Speaker 1: be getting to him, all right. So let's start with
- 18:52Speaker 1: my number one here, ranking the Buffalo Bills positions of need.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with my number one, and if you
- 18:59Speaker 1: are a listener of the show or a follower of
- 19:01Speaker 1: myself on any of the socials, I feel like you
- 19:03Speaker 1: should know what this number one is going to be. Now.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Number one is corner I think just looking at this
- 19:10Speaker 1: group right now for twenty twenty five, and then even
- 19:12Speaker 1: beyond right but even just keep it in a vacuum
- 19:14Speaker 1: at twenty twenty five, you do not have your CB
- 19:16Speaker 1: two for twenty twenty five on the roster right now
- 19:19Speaker 1: for the Bills. I don't think this is a novel concept.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I don't think I'm breaking ground with anything revelatory here
- 19:23Speaker 1: with my statement you don't have your CB two on
- 19:26Speaker 1: the roster for twenty twenty five right now. You're looking
- 19:29Speaker 1: at Christian Benford, bona fide, legitimate starter CB one boom
- 19:32Speaker 1: good cool. After that, you've got Dan Jackson, JaMarcus Ingram,
- 19:36Speaker 1: and Dike One Hardy, who I thought had some nice
- 19:39Speaker 1: flashes in camp last year I thought had some really
- 19:42Speaker 1: nice flashes, even better flashes than camp in the scrimmage
- 19:45Speaker 1: and then also flashed in the preseason. He was a
- 19:48Speaker 1: surprise cut, came back I was on the practice squad
- 19:51Speaker 1: for the year. Maybe an outside shot at him making
- 19:53Speaker 1: some noise, But right now I think you're looking at
- 19:55Speaker 1: this group and you've got again bona fide number one
- 19:58Speaker 1: in Christian Benford, Daan Jackson, JaMarcus Ingram. I think Dane
- 20:02Speaker 1: Jackson is a very fine CB three. I tell me
- 20:06Speaker 1: more of a CB four, But I think he's a
- 20:08Speaker 1: fine CB three because of the high floor he presents
- 20:10Speaker 1: and is fit within the system. I think he's a
- 20:12Speaker 1: dude that I don't mind starting if you're in a
- 20:14Speaker 1: pinch or if you've got some injuries. A guy who
- 20:17Speaker 1: can start for a couple of years something like that, right,
- 20:19Speaker 1: And these corners also that I'm mentioning are from an
- 20:21Speaker 1: outside perspective. I'm not counting Cam Lewis, I'm not counting
- 20:24Speaker 1: Taron Johnson. I'm not counting Brandon Condricton, who's more of
- 20:27Speaker 1: I guess he's outside, but he's more of a returner
- 20:30Speaker 1: than anything. And a guy who's gonna play corner and
- 20:32Speaker 1: mop up duty or games are kind of done. So
- 20:35Speaker 1: I'm counting kind of the main guys that are in
- 20:37Speaker 1: actual outside CB territory here. So if we're sitting there
- 20:42Speaker 1: right now again, Christian Benferd, Daane Jackson, JaMarcus Ingram, and
- 20:45Speaker 1: Daiquon Hardy and we are talking the biggest need on
- 20:48Speaker 1: this team. For me, it is corner because you have
- 20:51Speaker 1: two starters and you're down one right now, So fifty
- 20:54Speaker 1: percent of your starters at corner right now, at outside corner,
- 20:56Speaker 1: you are missing that, and I don't think Dane is
- 20:58Speaker 1: fit for it. I like JaMarcus Ingram did in the
- 21:01Speaker 1: preseason and even a bit in the season when Taron
- 21:04Speaker 1: Johnson went out and you had JaMarcus Ingram kind of
- 21:07Speaker 1: doing some dime he was. He was in the dime
- 21:09Speaker 1: looks against Arizona in the first couple of weeks. I
- 21:12Speaker 1: thought he had some nice moments, and he gain a
- 21:13Speaker 1: lot of nice moments in preseason. I like his inside
- 21:16Speaker 1: outside versatility. I actually like him more at nickel than
- 21:18Speaker 1: I do outside, but he played adequately even more so
- 21:22Speaker 1: adequately at outside corner. You just I'm not ready to
- 21:27Speaker 1: sit there and say JaMarcus Ingram could be CB two.
- 21:29Speaker 1: I don't think Dan Jackson is CB two. Again, I
- 21:31Speaker 1: think Dane is CB three, like CB three and a half.
- 21:36Speaker 1: But in this system, in this team, I think he's
- 21:38Speaker 1: fine as your CB three. You need a starter. So
- 21:41Speaker 1: corner at pick thirty is my top want and top
- 21:44Speaker 1: need for this Bills team right now.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Now.
- 21:46Speaker 1: We talked about several of them. If I'm just looking
- 21:48Speaker 1: at pick thirty right now, for me, it's Trey amos
- 21:52Speaker 1: Or's John A. Baron so Trey amos corner mim Misissippi.
- 21:55Speaker 1: JOHNY Baron corner from Texas a little bit different for
- 21:58Speaker 1: both of them. Baron, just what he does as a
- 22:02Speaker 1: tackler and what he does from a schematic versatility standpoint,
- 22:05Speaker 1: I think is so intriguing. I think you could do
- 22:06Speaker 1: some dime linebacker stuff with him. You could drop him
- 22:09Speaker 1: in the hook, the curls, you can blitz him from
- 22:10Speaker 1: the slot. You can blitz him as like an off
- 22:12Speaker 1: ball linebacker like he does all this fun schematic stuff
- 22:15Speaker 1: at Texas that I think I want more schematic versatility
- 22:19Speaker 1: and variability within this defense. Michael Hoyt was a step
- 22:22Speaker 1: in that direction. I think John A. Barron could be
- 22:24Speaker 1: a step in that direction. And even even if he's not,
- 22:27Speaker 1: say they just want to keep him at outside corner.
- 22:30Speaker 1: I think he can play outside corner very well. Where
- 22:34Speaker 1: going to someone just my evaluation notes here, good zone eyes,
- 22:37Speaker 1: he reads routes and the QB's eyes well, he triggers appropriately,
- 22:41Speaker 1: good short area burst and quickness. Good ball skills. You know,
- 22:44Speaker 1: he's got good hands. He's able to punch rip through
- 22:47Speaker 1: opponents' hands. He's tenacious again, He's got that alignment, versatility, zone,
- 22:51Speaker 1: good zone and spatial awareness. He's smooth and smart in coverage.
- 22:55Speaker 1: He's able to fall off and collect guys from the
- 22:58Speaker 1: route distribution and route concepts based on whatever zone coverage
- 23:01Speaker 1: he's playing. And then you can play some catchman, you
- 23:03Speaker 1: can play some scoos because he's got some physical ability,
- 23:06Speaker 1: he's got some athleticism. I like how we just he
- 23:10Speaker 1: plays the game smart while still being responsible in his
- 23:13Speaker 1: zone and in his assignments. And then the physical ability,
- 23:16Speaker 1: the tenacity, everything that he plays with and the schematic
- 23:19Speaker 1: possibility is what really intrigues me by him with him
- 23:23Speaker 1: now again, even if they don't do all that schematic stuff, right,
- 23:27Speaker 1: I'm okay with him just being an outside corner because
- 23:29Speaker 1: of how he plays the game. The quickness, the recognition,
- 23:32Speaker 1: the short area burst, the trigger, the speed, the athleticism,
- 23:34Speaker 1: the physicality. You don't have to worry about him fitting
- 23:37Speaker 1: the run like he can fit the run outside as
- 23:38Speaker 1: a forced player. He can also come in and kind
- 23:40Speaker 1: of like fit the run in like a B gap
- 23:42Speaker 1: or a C gap type of deal, depending on what
- 23:44Speaker 1: you got from you know, bodies on the line and
- 23:46Speaker 1: what type of surface you're running. He's just a really
- 23:49Speaker 1: fun player. Trey Amos on the you know, on the
- 23:53Speaker 1: on the other hand, just a very good press corner.
- 23:58Speaker 1: We talked about again restricting space if you are the
- 24:01Speaker 1: bill secondary, and I think Trey Amos is a big
- 24:03Speaker 1: move in that regard. He's comfortable and effective in press coverage,
- 24:08Speaker 1: both soft shoe and true. When I say soft shoe,
- 24:11Speaker 1: I mean more of a mirroring type of corner right
- 24:13Speaker 1: where you're a mirroring type of press also, and I
- 24:15Speaker 1: say this every year, but I always like to make
- 24:17Speaker 1: sure I qualify or quantify it or clarify it. Oh,
- 24:21Speaker 1: falling apart already. Just because you're in press doesn't mean
- 24:26Speaker 1: you're necessarily jamming. Press is just the idea of being
- 24:29Speaker 1: aligned like inside your man, like right like into his kitchen,
- 24:33Speaker 1: closing that airspace right off the line. He's on the line.
- 24:35Speaker 1: You're on the line with him, right. Soft shoe press
- 24:38Speaker 1: off of that is you're pressing, but you're using more
- 24:41Speaker 1: of your feet and body position. You're mirroring kind of
- 24:43Speaker 1: what the what the wide receiver is doing. True press
- 24:47Speaker 1: is your jam so the ball is snap, you're getting
- 24:49Speaker 1: hands on you know, ideally it's one. Some guys will
- 24:51Speaker 1: go with two. I don't necessarily like two hand jams
- 24:54Speaker 1: because it locks your hips and if you're if you're
- 24:56Speaker 1: off slightly, you can get beat easily. Inside outside around
- 24:59Speaker 1: the top can be a problem. So true press is
- 25:02Speaker 1: that jam, and a soft shoe is more of that
- 25:06Speaker 1: mirroring type of press. Amos is comfortable and effective in both.
- 25:10Speaker 1: He does do more soft shoe than true. I would
- 25:12Speaker 1: actually like to see more true, more physicality from him
- 25:15Speaker 1: in general, very adept at passing off and collecting guys
- 25:18Speaker 1: from the route distribution. You will watch him, you know,
- 25:21Speaker 1: carry his guy in zone. You know. For example, say
- 25:25Speaker 1: say you got a three by one and he's to
- 25:27Speaker 1: the single receiver side right. So say he's lined up
- 25:30Speaker 1: on the single receiver and on the other side of
- 25:31Speaker 1: the field, there's three receivers on a snap his man,
- 25:36Speaker 1: so there's only one receiver to his side. Say he
- 25:38Speaker 1: runs a drag right so and say it's cover three,
- 25:41Speaker 1: so he's dropping in his zone. So Amos drops into
- 25:43Speaker 1: his deep third. His man isn't threatening him at all.
- 25:46Speaker 1: He ran a drag, He's going to the other side
- 25:48Speaker 1: of the field. He immediately will get his eyes to
- 25:51Speaker 1: the trip side and look to see who's coming across field.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Can he pick up a post? Can he pick up
- 25:56Speaker 1: a crosser? Can he pick up an inbreaker? That type
- 25:58Speaker 1: of ability to just fall off and then collect carry guys,
- 26:03Speaker 1: deliver them, fall off, collect That type of ability he
- 26:07Speaker 1: displays regularly in traditional spot drop zone coverages. He's got
- 26:12Speaker 1: some matchability, He's got some man coverage ability, real nice
- 26:15Speaker 1: system transference from ole Miss to the Bills, really good
- 26:19Speaker 1: zone and spatial awareness. He's able to locate the ball
- 26:21Speaker 1: and make plays on it, or he can read the
- 26:24Speaker 1: wide receiver's hands and punch through accordingly. Some catchman coverage,
- 26:28Speaker 1: good bail technique, some true press, soft shoe, some offman.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I had questions about his change of direction and long speed,
- 26:34Speaker 1: but the combine really went a long way towards easing
- 26:37Speaker 1: both of those. He's a smooth strider. I would like
- 26:40Speaker 1: him to be even more physical than he is. He
- 26:42Speaker 1: is somewhat physical, He's not overly gravy, which is nice
- 26:46Speaker 1: to see, and guys who are operate and press and
- 26:48Speaker 1: operate with some physicality, and overall he's just able to
- 26:51Speaker 1: stay in phase to a combination of footwork and arm length.
- 26:54Speaker 1: He's got good feet, he's got good hand usage and
- 26:56Speaker 1: hand technique, and his ability to kind of stay in
- 26:58Speaker 1: phase and attached to I really like for him, and
- 27:03Speaker 1: so those are my top two picks at thirty. If
- 27:05Speaker 1: we're talking corner, I wouldn't hate Maxwell Harston Corner out
- 27:09Speaker 1: of Kentucky because of the speed and the athleticism what
- 27:12Speaker 1: he brings. I have some questions about his tackling ability,
- 27:17Speaker 1: as I think a lot of people do. He's willing,
- 27:19Speaker 1: but he's just a poor tackler, you know, angles and
- 27:22Speaker 1: decisions and run support. As far as being a fit,
- 27:24Speaker 1: real run fit player or a forced player, it's questionable.
- 27:26Speaker 1: And then you add in the smaller frame and stature,
- 27:29Speaker 1: it's just a little worrisome. But the short area burst,
- 27:31Speaker 1: the quickness, the speed he's got, the type of speed
- 27:34Speaker 1: where if he gets fooled, like he thinks you're running
- 27:36Speaker 1: a vertical up the sideline and you cut it back
- 27:38Speaker 1: in and run a post and he's completely fooled. He
- 27:40Speaker 1: can you just do a quick speed turn and he's
- 27:42Speaker 1: right back on you because how fast he is. And
- 27:45Speaker 1: I think he would be a fun a fun fit.
- 27:47Speaker 1: I don't love him at thirty. I wouldn't be opposed
- 27:49Speaker 1: to him at thirty. It's just you know that need
- 27:52Speaker 1: is there. But I would prefer him more in the
- 27:55Speaker 1: kind of the round two type of range. I don't
- 27:58Speaker 1: think he gets there at a round two. So that's
- 28:00Speaker 1: kind of where where that gets in there. A little
- 28:03Speaker 1: bit from a muddy perspective, go some comments, comments from
- 28:09Speaker 1: some folks. Yeah, a lot of things we already addressed.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Noah says he likes Darian Porter, but he's the same
- 28:16Speaker 1: age as Kyrie elam H. I thought he was two
- 28:20Speaker 1: years younger. I like Porter. The slight frame bothers me somewhat.
- 28:26Speaker 1: He's another one where I think kind of the the tackling,
- 28:29Speaker 1: I wonder even just as a forced player, like he's willing,
- 28:31Speaker 1: but the lankness and the smaller frame kind of does
- 28:33Speaker 1: him in a little bit. But good spatial awareness, good
- 28:36Speaker 1: press man corner. You know you're looking at another guy
- 28:39Speaker 1: with some length and some size to kind of restrict airspace.
- 28:41Speaker 1: He's a move in that direction, so is not. You
- 28:46Speaker 1: can try to pronounce his first name, is I always
- 28:47Speaker 1: butcher it so is Thomas the corner from Florida State
- 28:49Speaker 1: pressman length size, good fluidity for that length and that size.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Willing tackler, but again not the most sound or physical,
- 28:57Speaker 1: really good trail technique. He's able to create a collision
- 28:59Speaker 1: point that he rides the hip he can be he
- 29:03Speaker 1: can stay better connected on breaks with wide receivers. But
- 29:06Speaker 1: he's another guy that, you know, the type of guy
- 29:08Speaker 1: that I would target in round two because of the length,
- 29:10Speaker 1: the fluidity, the press capability, and his athleticism being tied
- 29:15Speaker 1: to it as well. I think it gives you a
- 29:17Speaker 1: lot of options in that regard. Well, Michael James says,
- 29:25Speaker 1: how much draft capital would you burn to secure john A?
- 29:28Speaker 1: Barn for example? Would you use next year's round one
- 29:31Speaker 1: to draft will Johnson be a move up to the
- 29:33Speaker 1: early tens this year? Ooh, that's tough. So my willingness
- 29:37Speaker 1: to how much draft capital I burn to secure Baron
- 29:40Speaker 1: is tied to how much Amos is still there. So say,
- 29:43Speaker 1: like Baron is still there in the early to mid twenties,
- 29:47Speaker 1: I'm looking to trade up, But if Amos is still there,
- 29:50Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there at thirty and I'm hoping one
- 29:52Speaker 1: of those two guys are there at thirty. As far
- 29:55Speaker 1: as draft capital, I have no problem trading multiple Day
- 29:57Speaker 1: three picks to move up for Baron because how much
- 30:00Speaker 1: I like him and how good I think he is.
- 30:02Speaker 1: The Johnson one. Oh, would you use next year's Round
- 30:07Speaker 1: one to draft Will Johnson via move up? No, because
- 30:10Speaker 1: I'm comfortable staying at thirty and getting Trey Amos and
- 30:15Speaker 1: not having to burn next year's one. But I do
- 30:18Speaker 1: like Will Johnson, I mean, and also poor Will Johnson
- 30:21Speaker 1: just has the unfortunate piece of being in the same
- 30:24Speaker 1: draft as Travis Hunter. Otherwise he'd be a really good
- 30:26Speaker 1: corner one. Just a lot of professional aspect, size, frame,
- 30:29Speaker 1: the way he plays the game. Had a bit of
- 30:30Speaker 1: a down year this past year, but I mean, man,
- 30:32Speaker 1: the type of professional defense he comes from. I don't
- 30:36Speaker 1: think I know. I wouldn't trade next year's one to
- 30:39Speaker 1: move up into the early tens to get Johnson just
- 30:42Speaker 1: because of the other corners that I think will be
- 30:44Speaker 1: there at thirty. But yeah, people mentioned no Williams, Frasier,
- 30:50Speaker 1: some sleepers at corner. Yeah, there's a lot of fun names,
- 30:52Speaker 1: a lot of fun names. Pop says he's late to
- 30:54Speaker 1: the party. Appreciate your pops. All Ron says, I'd love
- 30:59Speaker 1: to get Amos Trey why with more speed. That's actually
- 31:01Speaker 1: kind of fair. Oh, hy dom Dom joining the chat.
- 31:04Speaker 1: What's up? Down, appreciate you being here, Don Making for
- 31:06Speaker 1: stopping in What's up? But but Noah says, I will
- 31:08Speaker 1: wait to get Caleb downs next year. A safety man,
- 31:11Speaker 1: you're gonna have to need like you're gonna have to
- 31:12Speaker 1: be like a top five pick to get Caleb downs.
- 31:14Speaker 1: He's he's gonna go hide to get downs. Is so
- 31:18Speaker 1: nasty from a physicality perspective, from a tool's trace perspective,
- 31:21Speaker 1: a coverage perspective, a mentality man like man, Noah says,
- 31:27Speaker 1: McDermott seems like a Maxwell Harriston guy. There are some
- 31:30Speaker 1: things I've heard, some off the field things about Maxwell
- 31:33Speaker 1: Harriston that I think, might I just remember this that
- 31:36Speaker 1: might knock him maybe out from the Bills from an
- 31:41Speaker 1: off the field standpoint, I don't know if they're confirmed
- 31:44Speaker 1: or not, but not great maybe, But we'll see, but
- 31:49Speaker 1: we'll see, but we'll see, but we'll see. Oh good
- 31:52Speaker 1: coming here from Charles, and I'll move on to my
- 31:54Speaker 1: next one. Charles says, considering where the Bills are, do
- 31:56Speaker 1: you think they go for players ready to contribute immediately?
- 31:58Speaker 1: Versus swinging for upside they have to develop, good question.
- 32:03Speaker 1: I think it depends on the position. I think if
- 32:05Speaker 1: you're looking at a corner, it's got to be somebody
- 32:07Speaker 1: who can contribute immediately because you need a CB two.
- 32:09Speaker 1: If it's a defensive tackle, I think they're okay with
- 32:13Speaker 1: ed Oliver, Daikwon Jones, LARRYO, and Joby and then letting
- 32:16Speaker 1: you know a rookie defensive tackle develop to become defensive
- 32:20Speaker 1: tackle three or two next year or the year after.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Similar with Etch. I think it depends on the position.
- 32:25Speaker 1: So really, honestly, a lot of the positions that they
- 32:27Speaker 1: can go for I think could be guys that they
- 32:31Speaker 1: have to develop. Corner is the big one where it's
- 32:34Speaker 1: got to be somebody ready to contribute immediately. If you're
- 32:36Speaker 1: taking a corner, like now you're the first corner that
- 32:38Speaker 1: you take in this draft, has to be somebody that's
- 32:40Speaker 1: ready to step in and contribute immediately as a CB two.
- 32:43Speaker 1: It can't be like, oh, yeah, this guy could be
- 32:45Speaker 1: CB two next year the year after. You do need
- 32:47Speaker 1: a CB two next year, but you need one right now,
- 32:50Speaker 1: and especially to even Benford, like it's not a guarantee
- 32:52Speaker 1: that Benford gets extended or resigns, maybe the franchise tag them.
- 32:56Speaker 1: You never know what can happen. Maybe you need a
- 32:57Speaker 1: CB one next year. So I think for corner, I
- 33:01Speaker 1: think they'll go for somebody who's ready to contribute immediately.
- 33:04Speaker 1: For other positions, I think they would potentially swing for
- 33:06Speaker 1: upside at edge or you know, interior defensive line for example,
- 33:09Speaker 1: or even wide receiver, because those guys don't need to
- 33:12Speaker 1: contribute now or contribute right away. Thomas is talking about
- 33:18Speaker 1: Angel mccoobaugh again. I'm going to talk about Ange mccomba
- 33:21Speaker 1: a bit. All right, let's move on to the next
- 33:23Speaker 1: position of need here for myself and for the Bills
- 33:28Speaker 1: in my estimation, interior defensive line. And I want to
- 33:32Speaker 1: phrase this kind of where Framan I should say within
- 33:35Speaker 1: several thoughts for me here, you know, we're looking at
- 33:38Speaker 1: the interior defensive line right now and under contract, you're
- 33:41Speaker 1: looking at Ed Oliver Daikwon, Jones, Larry Ogunjobi, Dwayne Carter,
- 33:45Speaker 1: Zion log Branson, Dean Logan, Dean more practice squad guys
- 33:50Speaker 1: haven't really been regular lineup contributors. The top four half
- 33:54Speaker 1: at Oliver Daikon Jones, what we expect from Larry Ogunjobi
- 33:57Speaker 1: and then Dwayne Carter. The reason interior defense of line
- 34:00Speaker 1: is number two for me against centers around several thoughts
- 34:03Speaker 1: that I have. First, I'm not completely ready to move
- 34:06Speaker 1: on from Dwayne Carter, but at this present time, I
- 34:09Speaker 1: think he's best suited to be defensive tackle five, defensive
- 34:12Speaker 1: tackle four at the absolute highest. But I think that's
- 34:15Speaker 1: more of If you're in a pinch, and if I
- 34:17Speaker 1: gotta stop because we've got a super chat. Thank you
- 34:21Speaker 1: for being here, Tom, I think you for the super chat.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Dom says, and who would win to cover one battle
- 34:27Speaker 1: Royal and the Octagon between you, Eric, Aaron and Greg
- 34:31Speaker 1: And he says, no weapons. Probably Eric. You know, you
- 34:36Speaker 1: know what Eric does for a living. So Eric, I'm
- 34:40Speaker 1: just gonna I'll put all my money down on Eric. Second,
- 34:43Speaker 1: is interesting because I think you've got different different skill
- 34:48Speaker 1: sets amongst everyone that's left. But if you're just asking
- 34:52Speaker 1: who would win it, it's Eric. You know, the background,
- 34:55Speaker 1: the training, I think he's got it. The shape that
- 34:57Speaker 1: he's in, I feel like he's got that locked. I
- 34:59Speaker 1: would say Eric, he's just probably way more technically sound
- 35:02Speaker 1: in the octagon than any of us. Good question. I
- 35:05Speaker 1: like it.
- 35:06Speaker 2: I like it. I like it.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Thank you domb So I lost my trade. I thought
- 35:11Speaker 1: that was funny. Yeah, so, I'm not completely ready to
- 35:13Speaker 1: move on from Duane Carter right now. I think he's
- 35:15Speaker 1: best suited for defensive tackle five. What you got for
- 35:18Speaker 1: him last year from him last year is and this
- 35:22Speaker 1: is even I see a couple comments talking about, you know,
- 35:24Speaker 1: Carter playing before he got injured or the wrist injury.
- 35:27Speaker 1: For me, even before the risk injury, he was almost
- 35:30Speaker 1: non existent on the field. I know he had a
- 35:32Speaker 1: couple of nice flashes against the Texans, a couple of
- 35:34Speaker 1: nice flashes on like a third or fourth down maybe
- 35:36Speaker 1: towards the middle of the year, but the majority of
- 35:39Speaker 1: the season he was getting blown off the ball against
- 35:41Speaker 1: the run and having very minimal impact from a pass
- 35:44Speaker 1: rush productivity standpoint. I think his past productivity was somewhere
- 35:47Speaker 1: in the low fours. The low to mid fours was
- 35:50Speaker 1: it was one of the worst on the team Greta.
- 35:51Speaker 1: They didn't have a lot of good passer's productivity from
- 35:54Speaker 1: the interior, one of the worst in the league. Just
- 35:56Speaker 1: very minimal from a pass rush perspective, and the run
- 35:59Speaker 1: defense was a problem, constantly getting blown off the ball, vertically,
- 36:01Speaker 1: horizontally getting pushed out of his gap. There wasn't any
- 36:04Speaker 1: an There wasn't there was minimal anchoring, there was minimal
- 36:07Speaker 1: splitting of double teams. So I'm again I'm not completely out.
- 36:12Speaker 1: I always think you need to give guys a couple
- 36:14Speaker 1: of years at lead, usually for me, three years to
- 36:16Speaker 1: kind of acclimate to the league until you really make
- 36:18Speaker 1: a concrete decision on a prospect or a player. But
- 36:22Speaker 1: right now I'm not out on Carter, but I'm very
- 36:24Speaker 1: skeptical of what he can contribute as far as a
- 36:27Speaker 1: meaningful snap or meaningful rotation piece. So I think he's
- 36:31Speaker 1: best suited to be a defensive tackle five. He could
- 36:33Speaker 1: be a defensive tackle four if your top three or studs,
- 36:36Speaker 1: which I don't think that's where the Bills are right now,
- 36:38Speaker 1: So I think he's best suited for more of a
- 36:39Speaker 1: defensive tackle five defensive tackle four at the absolute highest.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Daikwon Jones, I think he's best suited to be defensive
- 36:46Speaker 1: tackle three or defensive tackle four, depending on how you
- 36:49Speaker 1: wanted to find the rotation and what you're doing. Larry Ogunjobi,
- 36:53Speaker 1: I think he can play some one tech for the
- 36:55Speaker 1: Bills given their system an archetype inside, but I think
- 36:58Speaker 1: he's better and or suited for a three tech role.
- 37:02Speaker 1: So if you take all that insummation for me, that
- 37:07Speaker 1: means you need a starter opposite of Ed Oliver. I
- 37:10Speaker 1: think you need Ed Oliver a starter next to him.
- 37:13Speaker 1: And then Daikwon Jones and Larry Ogunjobi is your three
- 37:16Speaker 1: and your four or your four and your three however
- 37:19Speaker 1: you want to label him, I don't care. And then
- 37:21Speaker 1: Dwayne Carter is the fifth, which means you need to
- 37:24Speaker 1: invest in a defensive tackle in either round one or
- 37:27Speaker 1: round two because you don't have any third round picks. Again,
- 37:30Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, I do think there is
- 37:32Speaker 1: an opportunity to still get guys in round two at
- 37:35Speaker 1: those picks. What is a fifty five to fifty six
- 37:37Speaker 1: and sixty two or whatever it is in round two,
- 37:39Speaker 1: I do think you can get a quality defensive tackle
- 37:42Speaker 1: at that spot, somebody who could potentially start next to
- 37:45Speaker 1: Ed Oliver or be a high end three as a
- 37:47Speaker 1: rookie and potentially develop into more. So that's somewhat good news.
- 37:51Speaker 1: But again I do think you ideally need a starter
- 37:54Speaker 1: or another high end rotational guy. It doesn't mean I'm
- 37:59Speaker 1: out on Dwayne Carter. Just think with where Daikwon Jones
- 38:03Speaker 1: is right now with where again Lariyogen Jobi's a free
- 38:05Speaker 1: agent at this time next year, so you potentially have
- 38:08Speaker 1: to bring in another guy next year, And then you
- 38:10Speaker 1: have the Carter questions. I think you need an answer
- 38:11Speaker 1: right now for twenty twenty five, but you also need
- 38:14Speaker 1: to set yourself up for success for twenty twenty six
- 38:16Speaker 1: and beyond. So that being said, at PIC thirty, I
- 38:20Speaker 1: would love Derek Harmon. I don't think Harmon's gonna be there.
- 38:23Speaker 1: I think Harmon really fits what they want from a
- 38:25Speaker 1: run defense and from a pass rush perspective and all
- 38:27Speaker 1: of this. You know I should have said this first.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Within all of this, right you, you have to remember
- 38:34Speaker 1: what the bills like on the interior. Even like their
- 38:37Speaker 1: bigger bodied one techs are usually more, they're not necessarily
- 38:42Speaker 1: space eaters or pluggers. Starlotte Tulalay was strong, wasn't a
- 38:46Speaker 1: massive He was a massive man, but not necessarily from
- 38:49Speaker 1: an interior defensive line standpoint. Even Daikwon Jones. Daikwon Jones
- 38:53Speaker 1: another guy that they like archetype for what they want
- 38:55Speaker 1: as of somebody to play next to Ed to play
- 38:57Speaker 1: in that one tech role. He's slimmed down from what
- 39:00Speaker 1: he was before the Bills. His playing weight was between
- 39:02Speaker 1: like around three oh seven to three ten. So that's
- 39:05Speaker 1: the type of like big body they're looking at one tech.
- 39:07Speaker 1: They're not looking at guys who were three twenty plus
- 39:10Speaker 1: or three fifteen plus. Maybe they will if there's some
- 39:12Speaker 1: sort of athletic freak who also has pass rush upside,
- 39:15Speaker 1: but they don't want just a plugger. They don't want
- 39:18Speaker 1: if you needed, you know, evidence of that. They were
- 39:20Speaker 1: still going with Jordan Phillips and Quentin Jefferson last year,
- 39:23Speaker 1: even though they were getting blown off the ball and
- 39:24Speaker 1: were largely ineffective overall. They were going with both those
- 39:27Speaker 1: guys versus Ilianku who was stout versus the run and
- 39:30Speaker 1: offered you some plugger and space eating type of body
- 39:34Speaker 1: eating type of capability. You need to be able to
- 39:37Speaker 1: rush the passer. You need to be able to one
- 39:39Speaker 1: gap penetrate and get up field. So if you're looking
- 39:42Speaker 1: at a one tech, that's what you have to keep
- 39:44Speaker 1: in mind. Like Tomandre Sweat, I don't necessarily think is
- 39:47Speaker 1: going to be on their radar guys like that, so
- 39:50Speaker 1: they might change a little bit them, you know, bringing
- 39:52Speaker 1: in Lake Laky folkdo from the Jets previously, of the
- 39:57Speaker 1: Cardinals before that for a visit is interesting because he's
- 40:00Speaker 1: not an upfield juice kind of guy. He's more of
- 40:03Speaker 1: a you know, a truer type of one. Tech doesn't
- 40:06Speaker 1: really fit what they've done in the past. So maybe
- 40:07Speaker 1: it's an indication that they're considering changing their archetype or
- 40:10Speaker 1: their body types on the inside. But anybody that starts
- 40:14Speaker 1: opposite of ED, you still have to look within the
- 40:16Speaker 1: And for me, this is I'm saying this myself as well.
- 40:20Speaker 1: I want somebody who can limit displacement. I want somebody
- 40:22Speaker 1: who can split double teams or anchor against them, gum
- 40:25Speaker 1: up the works, will not get driven off the ball
- 40:28Speaker 1: vertically or horizontally versus individual base blocks or versus double teams.
- 40:32Speaker 1: So I want somebody that skews more towards run defense.
- 40:35Speaker 1: I don't want it gone completely. I would like somebody
- 40:37Speaker 1: who's more maybe sixty forty run defense or sixty five
- 40:41Speaker 1: to thirty five at most. I think they're looking at
- 40:43Speaker 1: the opposite. They want somebody who's more sixty forty pass
- 40:46Speaker 1: rush or a maybe even fifty five to forty five
- 40:48Speaker 1: pass rush. Actually no, probably further sixty five to thirty five,
- 40:51Speaker 1: maybe seventy thirty pass rush. To run defense, they want penetrators.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Larry Ogunjobi is a good example, like he'll battle, but
- 40:58Speaker 1: he'll get displaced. He's guys are going to get under
- 41:01Speaker 1: his pads and drive him off the ball. But what
- 41:02Speaker 1: does he give you. He's a gap shooter, he's a penetrator,
- 41:04Speaker 1: he's a havoc and disruptor. He's a have a causer
- 41:07Speaker 1: and a disruptor. That's what they want on the interior,
- 41:09Speaker 1: So that all has to be framed within everything right.
- 41:11Speaker 1: So that being said, I think Derek Harmon is probably
- 41:14Speaker 1: the best fit from a run defense and pass rush
- 41:17Speaker 1: standpoint and a known quantity. I don't think he's going
- 41:20Speaker 1: to be there at thirty, but at thirty I'm looking
- 41:22Speaker 1: at someone like Harmon. And I forgot who mentioned it earlier.
- 41:26Speaker 1: I really came along on Darius Alexander's tape from Toledo. Again,
- 41:31Speaker 1: I think Harmon will be gone. Alexander would probably be
- 41:34Speaker 1: my defensive tackle pick at pick thirty. I prefer him
- 41:36Speaker 1: in round two. I thought initially there was a chance
- 41:39Speaker 1: he would be there at pick fifty six. I don't
- 41:41Speaker 1: think he's going to be there now, which is why
- 41:44Speaker 1: I'd be fine if they took him at thirty. His athleticism,
- 41:49Speaker 1: the past rush ability. I'm going to find my notes
- 41:52Speaker 1: on him now. The athleticism, the pass rush ability. He
- 41:56Speaker 1: does play high at times, but he was He was
- 42:00Speaker 1: better at recognizing blocking schemes than I thought. I do
- 42:04Speaker 1: think he needs to be improved here. He'll get caught
- 42:06Speaker 1: off guard from time to time, but he was better
- 42:07Speaker 1: than I thought. And I do think he needs better
- 42:09Speaker 1: pass us transitions and or moves and plan. He'll stall
- 42:13Speaker 1: out a bit more often than you like, and I
- 42:15Speaker 1: think that ties into him playing high at times, which
- 42:17Speaker 1: is understandable given his frame and how big he is.
- 42:19Speaker 1: But the long arms and his play against double teams
- 42:24Speaker 1: is something that really intrigued me, specifically the game against
- 42:27Speaker 1: Mississippi State. Being able to regularly drop the knee versus
- 42:30Speaker 1: double teams. That takes the technique and the execution and
- 42:33Speaker 1: the functional play strength, but it also means you have
- 42:36Speaker 1: to recognize that the double team is coming and being
- 42:38Speaker 1: able to adjust, so being able to drop the knee
- 42:40Speaker 1: or anchor and hold his ground like if he's not
- 42:43Speaker 1: seen it, but being able to dig his feet in
- 42:45Speaker 1: and play with lean and leverage and use that length
- 42:48Speaker 1: and not get blown off the ball. That really brought
- 42:51Speaker 1: me around on him. His ability to just hold his
- 42:53Speaker 1: ground in defeat blocks, and then when he stays low,
- 42:56Speaker 1: his length and strength make him very hard to move.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I think he would be a good fit for what
- 42:59Speaker 1: the bill want it, you know, quote unquote one tech.
- 43:02Speaker 1: I still think there's a chance he could be there
- 43:04Speaker 1: in the second round, but I wouldn't be opposed to
- 43:06Speaker 1: him at pick thirty. And another defensive tackle who I
- 43:09Speaker 1: really like is TYLERK Williams from Ohio State. There's really several,
- 43:12Speaker 1: there's so many. TYLERK Williams from Ohio State. I think
- 43:16Speaker 1: he's more of an early down player. There's not a
- 43:18Speaker 1: lot of pass rush juice for TYLERK Williams, but he
- 43:21Speaker 1: is explosive and powerful at the point of attack. So
- 43:25Speaker 1: not only can he eat double teams, limit displacement, throw
- 43:28Speaker 1: guys around, drop the knee, you know, block recognition, all
- 43:32Speaker 1: that stuff versus the run, but he has enough juice
- 43:34Speaker 1: and power to knock back offensive lineman and compromise the pocket.
- 43:37Speaker 1: I think he has more athleticism that he gets credit
- 43:39Speaker 1: for despite being more of an early down player. He's
- 43:41Speaker 1: got good lateral legility and explosion, strong hands, functional strength.
- 43:46Speaker 1: He's a gap controller who's able to anchor and withstand
- 43:49Speaker 1: blocks from a multitude of ways. I think he plays
- 43:52Speaker 1: with good pad level on the line. You watch him
- 43:54Speaker 1: get underneath offensive linemen that are smaller than him. He
- 43:57Speaker 1: can read the running backs tracks while engaged. He's able
- 44:00Speaker 1: to multi gap. He rarely gets displaced. The biggest thing again,
- 44:03Speaker 1: he's not filled with a ton of moves, right, You're
- 44:05Speaker 1: not seeing a ton of like, oh, watch this cross chop,
- 44:07Speaker 1: watch this club rip, like look everything that he's doing.
- 44:09Speaker 1: He's more of just if he's going to get some
- 44:11Speaker 1: pass rush, it's with some lateral agility. Well, maybe a
- 44:14Speaker 1: quick arm over or a quick dip in rip, not
- 44:17Speaker 1: necessarily dip, but maybe a little bit, but just more
- 44:19Speaker 1: club rip, or he's driving somebody back into the pocket.
- 44:22Speaker 1: I think he's more of a two down player, but
- 44:24Speaker 1: you could develop him potentially a bit as a pass
- 44:26Speaker 1: rusher with some moves in plan. And even if not,
- 44:29Speaker 1: I'll take a guy who's just hard to move against
- 44:31Speaker 1: the run, but has enough juice and athleticism to drive
- 44:34Speaker 1: guys into the backfield. Also in that mold, I've seen
- 44:37Speaker 1: him mentioned a couple times here. Alfred Collins from Texas
- 44:42Speaker 1: really good against the run. A textbook taxtbook stack and
- 44:45Speaker 1: shed defensive tackle. The hand placement, the extension, the violence
- 44:49Speaker 1: and the pop, the peak and just chucking guys down
- 44:52Speaker 1: holds his ground, limits displacement anchors versus double teams. He
- 44:56Speaker 1: can torque guys to the ground while keeping his grip
- 44:58Speaker 1: locked into blockers, just power, leverage and strength inside, able
- 45:03Speaker 1: to read running backs tracks while engaged. His eighty five
- 45:06Speaker 1: inch wingspan is the second largest for any defensive tackle
- 45:08Speaker 1: measured at the Combine in the last three years, and
- 45:11Speaker 1: his arm length is the seventh largest. The issue with
- 45:15Speaker 1: him is there's no pass rush game really to speak of,
- 45:18Speaker 1: even less so than TYLERK. Williams. Williams at least gives
- 45:24Speaker 1: you more explosion and more juice to drive guys back.
- 45:27Speaker 1: There's even less of that with Alfred Collins. Like Collins
- 45:29Speaker 1: is more of a pure two down player, and I
- 45:33Speaker 1: don't think there's much to come from a pass rush
- 45:39Speaker 1: upside with him, which makes me think he's more limited
- 45:41Speaker 1: for the Bills. But somebody that I would be comfortable
- 45:43Speaker 1: taking with in round two because he's a rotational body.
- 45:46Speaker 1: If you again, I want to starter opposite of Ed.
- 45:49Speaker 1: But if it comes down to it's Eddai Kwon, Ogen
- 45:54Speaker 1: Joby and Alfred Collins, I like that and I'm okay
- 45:56Speaker 1: with that. I would rather Ed, TYLERK Williams, Larry Ogunjoby,
- 46:02Speaker 1: Daequon Jones. But that's kind of my thought there for Collins.
- 46:07Speaker 1: And you know, I see Thomas saying Collins actually started
- 46:09Speaker 1: a DM for what it's worth. Yeah, but he's got
- 46:11Speaker 1: a lot of interior defensive line snaps there. There are
- 46:13Speaker 1: times where they'll kick him out in like a four
- 46:15Speaker 1: I on the inside shade of the tackle or a
- 46:17Speaker 1: four right on him where you know, kick him out
- 46:19Speaker 1: as a five. But the majority of his snaps that
- 46:21Speaker 1: I saw, he's playing defensive tackle. He's in the A
- 46:23Speaker 1: gap or he's in that B gap, you know, kind
- 46:25Speaker 1: of one tech three tech type of role. So a
- 46:28Speaker 1: lot of what I watched from him was pure defensive
- 46:31Speaker 1: tackle type of stuff. And even so, like either way,
- 46:34Speaker 1: whether he's playing defensive end where he's playing tackle whatever.
- 46:37Speaker 1: The pass rush game just is not present in his game. Now.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Maybe it could be maybe something clicks or he gets
- 46:43Speaker 1: you know, some right, the right coach or right team
- 46:45Speaker 1: gets their hooks in him, and he goes from there.
- 46:47Speaker 1: But I'm not there with him at that point. But
- 46:51Speaker 1: I do like him as a run defender in terms
- 46:52Speaker 1: of the physicality and the displacement limitation in a positive
- 46:56Speaker 1: way for him on the interior. So that's why he's
- 46:59Speaker 1: a big one for me. I wanted to go back
- 47:01Speaker 1: to Lucas says, who's your favorite? Who's your favorite round
- 47:04Speaker 1: two detackle Tyler Williams. I really like his game, even
- 47:09Speaker 1: to the point that even though he's more of a
- 47:11Speaker 1: two down player, I would oh, gotcha, Thomas with your
- 47:15Speaker 1: freshman year comment, Thomas, I see you. Appreciate you. Uh,
- 47:18Speaker 1: Lucas who say who's your favorite? Second round defensive tackle
- 47:21Speaker 1: Tyler Williams. Again, even to the point that if the
- 47:23Speaker 1: Bills took him at thirty, even though he's more of
- 47:25Speaker 1: a two down player, I don't think they take him
- 47:27Speaker 1: at thirty. I still do think they want more of
- 47:28Speaker 1: a true like a guy who can have an impact
- 47:30Speaker 1: on all three downs, but it would be Tyler Williams
- 47:33Speaker 1: because of his ability to play the run from a physicality,
- 47:37Speaker 1: skill set, size, traits, tools perspective, but also from a
- 47:41Speaker 1: block recognition and play recognition standpoint, it's really strong. And
- 47:44Speaker 1: then the athleticism and the juice. I think he can
- 47:46Speaker 1: do enough to kind of knock guys back into the pocket,
- 47:49Speaker 1: drive them back a little bit, So there is some
- 47:51Speaker 1: some upside now and then maybe potentially going forward in
- 47:54Speaker 1: the future. So it would probably be Tyler Williams. Pop says,
- 48:01Speaker 1: what's the deal on Dion Walker? His size seems crazy, man,
- 48:06Speaker 1: He just doesn't move well physically. Defensive tackle from Kentucky
- 48:09Speaker 1: an absolute mountain of a man. It just it pains
- 48:13Speaker 1: me to watch him move like it's just not You
- 48:17Speaker 1: just don't see the athleticism that you need to see.
- 48:20Speaker 1: And even within that, it's like, Okay, he's not the
- 48:22Speaker 1: most athletics, so he's got to be this physical, just
- 48:25Speaker 1: monster and he's not. For how big he is. I
- 48:27Speaker 1: feel like his base isn't the most solid, so his
- 48:30Speaker 1: impact is very up and down, and I just think
- 48:33Speaker 1: there's very little movement capability. I don't think he's a
- 48:35Speaker 1: fit for the Bills defense. His size is very wild.
- 48:39Speaker 1: You know, maybe someone gets to slim down a bit,
- 48:41Speaker 1: maybe somebody uses them in an odd front and just
- 48:42Speaker 1: plops them down in the middle of the defense and
- 48:44Speaker 1: lets him just sit and anchor. But even the anchor
- 48:46Speaker 1: isn't like amazing. I just think the size mixed with
- 48:50Speaker 1: the skill set and frame and stuff isn't isn't the
- 48:52Speaker 1: most ideal. Charles says, why do you hate CJ. West?
- 48:56Speaker 1: I actually like CJ. West from Indiana. There was some
- 49:00Speaker 1: really good aspects on tape. He's a guy that I'm
- 49:02Speaker 1: looking at like I look at it day on day three,
- 49:05Speaker 1: not even round three, but like day three, because I'm
- 49:07Speaker 1: not taking him in round two. If he's there in
- 49:10Speaker 1: round four, I would really like that. The quickness and
- 49:12Speaker 1: athleticism for his size. He does play a little high
- 49:15Speaker 1: versus the run. He's another guy who will stall out
- 49:18Speaker 1: as a pass rusher if he doesn't win initially. But
- 49:20Speaker 1: he's got good active hands, he's got a good swipe,
- 49:23Speaker 1: you know, chops he'll shed. He's looking to kind of
- 49:25Speaker 1: you know, wax on wax off as much as he can.
- 49:28Speaker 1: You know, he's trying to chop and move. I do
- 49:30Speaker 1: think he needs better block recognition, but he's able to
- 49:33Speaker 1: pinball back after again initially double or displaced by double teams.
- 49:37Speaker 1: I'd like to see him drop the knee more in
- 49:39Speaker 1: order to limit displacement, so he will get, you know,
- 49:42Speaker 1: knocked off his spot a bit. But he's good on
- 49:43Speaker 1: games up front as a spiker, as a looper, he'll
- 49:46Speaker 1: run some stunts, gap exchanges. He's a good communicator and
- 49:49Speaker 1: adjuster pre snap for the whole defense and the defensive line.
- 49:54Speaker 1: I just view him. He's a guy that I'd be
- 49:55Speaker 1: very comfortable taken in day three. I see a lot
- 49:58Speaker 1: of the comments there from Jordan Phillips from Maryland. He's
- 50:01Speaker 1: someone who I've tapped into a small amount. I think
- 50:05Speaker 1: he's somebody that probably goes in round three, which means
- 50:07Speaker 1: he might be out for the bills. But I have
- 50:10Speaker 1: to dive in his tape. He's somebody that maybe they
- 50:13Speaker 1: like high enough, or I like high enough where they
- 50:15Speaker 1: go in round two. But right now, that's kind of
- 50:17Speaker 1: where I'm sticking at for my defensive tackles, which is
- 50:20Speaker 1: Derek Carmon, Darius Alexander, and then Tyler Williams and Alfred
- 50:23Speaker 1: Collins kind of varying different levels of effectiveness. Round one,
- 50:28Speaker 1: round two type of guys with that defensive tackle spot.
- 50:34Speaker 1: There was a comment here, Yeah, there we go, there's
- 50:38Speaker 1: some there. Pete says Harmon is their prototype at one Tech.
- 50:41Speaker 1: That is true. Ron says, is Joshua Farmer from Florida
- 50:43Speaker 1: State a fit at one Tech and the Bills system?
- 50:47Speaker 1: Yes he is good, question, he is absolutely bum bum.
- 50:56Speaker 1: Thomas says, I would have thought Nolan would be a
- 50:58Speaker 1: prototype one tech. I think he's more of a kind
- 50:59Speaker 1: of a but a prototype type of three. Like he's
- 51:02Speaker 1: all about peneration, peneration, penetration, juice upfield, gap shooting, like
- 51:07Speaker 1: let him spike, get up field. He's not really a
- 51:09Speaker 1: big you know, let me anchor, let me take on
- 51:11Speaker 1: this double team like you're you're using him on the
- 51:13Speaker 1: snap to move in a multitude of ways, or at
- 51:16Speaker 1: least that's what he was most successful with it. Ole
- 51:18Speaker 1: miss and just giving his play style and how he's built,
- 51:22Speaker 1: you know, I don't think he's more of a He
- 51:24Speaker 1: could be a one tech in the right defense. Maybe
- 51:25Speaker 1: get him to bulk up and beef up a bit,
- 51:27Speaker 1: but he's not a gather to they're gonna be eating
- 51:28Speaker 1: double teams and anchoring like you want him using his
- 51:32Speaker 1: athleticism in his traits to penetrate in one gap, get
- 51:35Speaker 1: up field and go through people. Charles says CJ. West
- 51:42Speaker 1: Day two. Oh that's where your initial CJ. Wes comment.
- 51:44Speaker 1: I wouldn't be horribly opposed to it, well day two,
- 51:47Speaker 1: Day two, but more like round three. But they don't
- 51:49Speaker 1: have a round three pick, and I don't really want
- 51:50Speaker 1: to take him in round two, but fair uh see,
- 51:59Speaker 1: who hass me about Norman Lot from Tennessee. I watched,
- 52:03Speaker 1: oh literally, I've only watched a handful of snaps the
- 52:06Speaker 1: game against Oklahoma, I think, and he had some juice.
- 52:10Speaker 1: He had like five pressures on twenty one snaps. But
- 52:12Speaker 1: I haven't finished my evaluation on him, but I'm intrigued
- 52:15Speaker 1: by the juice. We'll see. Pop says, replace replace Phillips
- 52:20Speaker 1: or George Phillips.
- 52:21Speaker 2: I like that. I like that.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Mary asked, why not the Michigan defensive tackle number seventy eight,
- 52:26Speaker 1: So that's Kenneth Grant. I talked about him a little earlier.
- 52:28Speaker 1: I just think, let me pull up my notes. Boom boom,
- 52:32Speaker 1: boom boom. I think he plays a little high, holds
- 52:35Speaker 1: his ground versus the run, but not much as a rusher.
- 52:37Speaker 1: He does have active hands, good athleticism and quickness. He's
- 52:40Speaker 1: very quick for his size. He has juice, but sometimes
- 52:42Speaker 1: those hands can be delayed in terms of his usage.
- 52:44Speaker 1: He'll let guys get into his body a little bit
- 52:47Speaker 1: too much, and I think that nullifies the athleticism and
- 52:49Speaker 1: juice that he has. Oh yeah, there's my note. It
- 52:52Speaker 1: gets into the body rather than you than using established hands.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Stall out a bit as a rusher. He has a swim,
- 52:59Speaker 1: he has a swipe in a bull rush, but you'll
- 53:00Speaker 1: see him kind of just get stuck and hounded at
- 53:03Speaker 1: the line. I think his block recognition could use some improvement.
- 53:06Speaker 1: I'll watching him just get picked off left and right.
- 53:09Speaker 1: I caap scheme runs like like trap where his guard
- 53:14Speaker 1: is going by him and he's like, oh sweet, and
- 53:15Speaker 1: here comes the other guy to just you know, hit
- 53:17Speaker 1: him right in his ear hole and drive him down
- 53:19Speaker 1: the line. I feel like there's his moves on the
- 53:22Speaker 1: snap or just him like he's just he was if
- 53:26Speaker 1: he was somebody playing street fighter. It feels like he's
- 53:28Speaker 1: somebody who's just hitting the buttons. There's not really like
- 53:33Speaker 1: a plan of like, Okay, I'm gonna kick low here,
- 53:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna set this up because I'm gonna do this later.
- 53:37Speaker 1: It just seems like I'm just hit I'm just hitting square,
- 53:40Speaker 1: and then I'm just gonna hit circle a whole bunch.
- 53:42Speaker 1: Then I'll just hit X. Like it just feels like
- 53:43Speaker 1: he's mashing buttons more so than executing a plan or
- 53:49Speaker 1: executing a a strategic type of move set that he's
- 53:55Speaker 1: using to set guys up or he's using to attack with.
- 53:57Speaker 1: I think the athleticism is there, He's a freak athlete.
- 53:59Speaker 1: How he moves or his size is genuinely impressive. I
- 54:02Speaker 1: would not be opposed to the Bills taking him, but
- 54:04Speaker 1: their development hasn't been the best at that spot, and
- 54:09Speaker 1: so I look at him more right now as more
- 54:11Speaker 1: of like a run stopper with some athleticism and juice
- 54:13Speaker 1: to them. But if that's the case, I think I
- 54:15Speaker 1: would rather have Tyler Williams in the second than him
- 54:18Speaker 1: at thirty. But I'm not completely opposed, like all the
- 54:21Speaker 1: thoughts and the questions coming from everybody, man, I'm because
- 54:24Speaker 1: it's more the draft is still like a month away,
- 54:26Speaker 1: so I'm not finished with all these position groups. I
- 54:27Speaker 1: feel bad because there's people that are asking questions that
- 54:32Speaker 1: guys that I'm just not I'm not fully like, I'm
- 54:34Speaker 1: not finished with my Jordan Phillips evaluation. I'm not finished
- 54:36Speaker 1: with several dudes. Is why focus more on like the
- 54:38Speaker 1: day one and take to do guys, because that's where
- 54:39Speaker 1: I've I've started for a lot. But yeah, I see,
- 54:42Speaker 1: I see a lot of thoughts coming in. Chat is
- 54:44Speaker 1: very good and I appreciate you folks. Well done. All right,
- 54:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna move on to my third position of need
- 54:49Speaker 1: for this Bills team, and it comes at Edge. And
- 54:53Speaker 1: I don't know how how everyone feels about Edge right now,
- 54:59Speaker 1: especially with with the Hoyt suspension, But if you're looking
- 55:02Speaker 1: at Ed right now, and I'll explain why, it's it's
- 55:04Speaker 1: my third position in terms of need for this roster.
- 55:08Speaker 1: So you got Greg Orusso you got Hoyt with that
- 55:11Speaker 1: six game suspension looming. Same thing with Logan Joby, and
- 55:14Speaker 1: then you've got Ajpanessa, Joey Bosa, and Javon Solomon. What
- 55:19Speaker 1: kind of worked my way from the back to the front.
- 55:20Speaker 1: I like Solomon. I like this flashes last year. That
- 55:23Speaker 1: being said, there's no surefire thought for me that he's
- 55:26Speaker 1: ready to be a top four edge this season or
- 55:28Speaker 1: beyond as a whole, say there was no suspension like
- 55:32Speaker 1: all that aside. I like this group as a whole
- 55:34Speaker 1: unit in twenty twenty five. Right now, I still think
- 55:37Speaker 1: there's questions right for what does Bosa look like? What
- 55:41Speaker 1: does Epanessa look like? What does Hoyt look like? But
- 55:44Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with this grouping. The reason that I'm comfortable,
- 55:48Speaker 1: but it's still you know, the third biggest positional need
- 55:51Speaker 1: for me on this team is for several reasons. One,
- 55:54Speaker 1: you do have Michael Hoyt with that suspension. Two the
- 55:57Speaker 1: signing of Joey Bosa. Again, so much of it is
- 56:00Speaker 1: tied to how healthy he is, right and what type
- 56:03Speaker 1: of impact you get from him. If he is he
- 56:04Speaker 1: fifty percent? Is he sixty? Is he seventy? Is he
- 56:06Speaker 1: one hundred? Is he ninety? How much run defense does
- 56:09Speaker 1: he play? Because he's a good run defender, But do
- 56:11Speaker 1: you want him doing that? Do you want him more
- 56:13Speaker 1: as just a pass rusher? Is he purely just a
- 56:14Speaker 1: mercenary or a closer? Or is he something else like
- 56:19Speaker 1: more of a true three down guy like he was
- 56:22Speaker 1: with the Chargers. Do they want him use him that way?
- 56:23Speaker 1: Do they not? All these questions right, But either way,
- 56:28Speaker 1: I don't see Bosa here past this season. He either
- 56:33Speaker 1: for me, I think the two likeliest outcomes are he
- 56:37Speaker 1: has injuries that derail him a bit, and then maybe
- 56:40Speaker 1: next year is more of an a affordable year. You know,
- 56:43Speaker 1: maybe he's more affordable next year. But then it's like,
- 56:44Speaker 1: do you really want him back because you know the
- 56:48Speaker 1: consistency wasn't there and the impact wasn't there. Or he
- 56:51Speaker 1: stays healthy and balls out, because if he's healthy, he
- 56:54Speaker 1: still can ball out. This is somebody who's still a
- 56:56Speaker 1: very good edge rusher and a very good edge player.
- 56:58Speaker 1: And if he's healthy and balls out, I think he
- 57:00Speaker 1: cashes in next year for like a two year, thirty
- 57:04Speaker 1: six million dollar contracts something like that. So I don't
- 57:07Speaker 1: see Bosa here past this season. You have Michael Hoyt
- 57:10Speaker 1: with the suspension, Bosa has injury concerns for this year,
- 57:14Speaker 1: and then Ajpanessa is an unrestricted free agent next offseason.
- 57:18Speaker 1: So I think there's questions around the twenty twenty five
- 57:20Speaker 1: group with the suspension and Bosa's health and then I
- 57:23Speaker 1: think there's also questions long term because I don't think
- 57:26Speaker 1: Bosa stays here after this year, and Ajpanessa's UFA next year.
- 57:30Speaker 1: So you look at this group again right now, Greg Russol,
- 57:33Speaker 1: Michael Hoyt, Ajpanessa, Joey Bosa, Javon Solomon, Say Panessa leaves
- 57:38Speaker 1: next year. Say Bosa leaves next year, and Javon Solomon
- 57:41Speaker 1: just doesn't develop into what you got. You have two
- 57:43Speaker 1: edges on the roster next year. That is not enough
- 57:45Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form in terms of quality
- 57:47Speaker 1: or quantity. So I think the edge grouping still needs
- 57:49Speaker 1: to be addressed at some point. Now, this one is
- 57:54Speaker 1: kind of of like a murky one. So if we're
- 57:56Speaker 1: looking at thirty, I like don to Donovan Azeraku from
- 57:58Speaker 1: Boston College. The length, the moves, the plan, the fluidity.
- 58:04Speaker 1: He's another guy who I think is just in the
- 58:06Speaker 1: mold of a mercenary off the edge as a pass rusher.
- 58:11Speaker 1: He knows how to get to the quarterback. Again, somebody
- 58:13Speaker 1: who's got moves and plan and fluidity, precision with his
- 58:17Speaker 1: hand usage. You watch him, you know, with his cross
- 58:20Speaker 1: shops or even you know, chopping wrists to disengage blockers.
- 58:23Speaker 1: And it is precise. There's no like you know, he's
- 58:26Speaker 1: kind of hitting elbows or he's hitting up on his shoulder.
- 58:29Speaker 1: It is such precise hand usage. It's on the wrist,
- 58:32Speaker 1: he's pulling down, he's hitting the club, he's dipping. The
- 58:35Speaker 1: movement is so fluid, his effortless fluidity, good dip, good bend,
- 58:41Speaker 1: good core strength. You'll watch him just stab quickly and
- 58:45Speaker 1: then he's a ghost and he's underneath someone throwing the hands.
- 58:47Speaker 1: He's running the arc, or he's dipping and ripping and
- 58:49Speaker 1: powering through an offensive lineman shoulder hands to kind of
- 58:53Speaker 1: flatten and get to the QB. Precision and fluidity as
- 58:57Speaker 1: a pass rusher, the move set, the athleticism him very
- 59:01Speaker 1: very very very excited for that potential at pick thirty.
- 59:04Speaker 1: Another one that I don't think he'll be there, but
- 59:07Speaker 1: maybe he will because he was hurt and he had
- 59:09Speaker 1: a down year. Mickel Williams from Georgia was like a
- 59:14Speaker 1: top three, top five prospect before this season. Jacked up
- 59:17Speaker 1: his ankle to start the year against Clemson, wasn't really
- 59:21Speaker 1: the same throughout the year, but played through that injury
- 59:24Speaker 1: the whole year. Length He fits before I mentioned his stuff.
- 59:28Speaker 1: He fits what the Bills like at edge length, strength,
- 59:32Speaker 1: run defense, some pass rush ability. But he's a pocket compressor,
- 59:37Speaker 1: not a ton of change in direction, but a pocket
- 59:39Speaker 1: compressor off the edge who can reduce down on the
- 59:41Speaker 1: inside a little bit and also play the run significantly.
- 59:46Speaker 1: And again as a dude who I thought he was
- 59:49Speaker 1: done for the year when I saw that ankle injury
- 59:51Speaker 1: against Clemson. I was watching that game live and I
- 59:53Speaker 1: was just like, oh, like, he's a top five prospect.
- 59:55Speaker 1: This sucks. He's done, and he gutted through it for
- 59:58Speaker 1: the majority of the year. They had to take him
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: in and out. But this is a dude who was
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: playing on a significantly busted ankle and he was still
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: managing to chuck dudes around and again an impact in him,
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: but he was still having an impact on the game,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and he fits what they want. Oh. Pete says that
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: he would move up from Mikel Williams or Mikel Williams.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: There's so many guy's names what football. I think it's
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Mikel Williams. I still don't think he's gonna be there
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: at thirty. I think there's a chance though, because the
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: production wasn't there and because of the injury, but this
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: was a guy again who what preseason was like a
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: top five prospect, was number one for some folks in
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: just in terms of what he was even before Abdul
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: Carter kind of broke out and did what he did.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: I think the traits are there, and I think the
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: tape from the previous year is there and him gutting
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: through some stuff, there's still some things to like this year,
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: and as Ron says, that injury could be a blessing
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: for us to have a shot at him. I still
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: don't think he falls to thirty. I think there's a
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: chance he falls into the twenties and the mid twenties.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: Maybe it's the guy they trade up for. Maybe not,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: But he's somebody that if he's there at thirty I
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: would be fine with because he fits the archetype and
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: I do think he has a high ceiling, and watching
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: him play last year through that injury but still having
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: an impact won me over. But he's a guy again
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: who I think has a high floor, but a high
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: ceiling because of the traits and the physical gifts and
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: skill set pieces that he has. Knowass how about James
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Pearce two things. One, I don't think he's necessarily a
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: stylistic fit and an archetype fit for what the Bill
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: is like. Two, I've heard publicly and privately from some
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: people that I know who are in the know, and
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: there's there is some fire so that those character concerns smoke,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: And he just doesn't strike me as the type of
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: guy that the Bills are going to take in round one.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Maybe he falls and is there in round two and
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: they're like, all right, cool, we'll take a flyer on him.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: But I just think from an archetype standpoint, stylistically, he's
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: not the best fit. And then with some of the
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: things I've heard publicly and privately, I think from an
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: off the field standpoint, he's not the best fit for
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: this team. Again, things could all change. He whethers the
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: Storm guy's change when they get to the league, but
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: I don't see it as of right now. Ron says
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: he's out on Pierce. Pete says, I'd be upset if
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: we could have moved up a few picks for mckel
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: and didn't. Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed, like if he
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: was sitting there at twenty five or twenty six he's
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: somebody I would gravitate towards depending on who's on the board,
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: Like I don't want to move up for him if
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: like Baron and Amos are still there, like I'm very
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: much on the corner train in round one. But if
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: they traded up for Mickel Williams, I get it. Like again,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: this dude, he's a good player, Like, he's a really
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: good player. So that's kind of where my head is
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: for thirty and be Diamond as Araku Mickel Williams. But again,
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: I think Williams will probably be gone, and actually as
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: a roku there's a chance he's going to go before
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: thirty as well. But I think he realistically could be there.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: More realistic he could be there. I wouldn't hate Land
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: and Jackson from Arkansas at thirty, but I would much
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: rather have him be a round two guy. And then again,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: like I said, I'm still working through edge starting and
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: getting through the Texas A and M boys, so Nick Scurton,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Shamar Stewart like I mentioned. Also, oh, he's not going
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: to be a Day one or Day two for the bill.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: But what's his name? From U C l A all
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: the WITHEMI O the day Hough. It is an intriguing
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: one to me. Whose tape I've started to see a
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: little bit. I know some people who like Elijah Roberts.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: I saw somebody put the name of Tyler Barron from Miami.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: I really liked watching him at Miami. He's not a
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: Day one or Day two guy for me, but well,
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: not around one or round two guys should say. But
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of fun names I think at
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Edge and there's some usefulness. Again, what's gonna muddy? All
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: of it is like trying to get in an ideal world.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: Javon Solomon is ready to be Edge four while Hoyd
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: is on suspension, and then Hoy can come back and
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: you figure it out. But I do think they might
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: need to dip into the water here a little bit.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: Michael James says, would Princely you from Ole Miss be
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: okay in round two? I would rather him in round
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: three or day three, but I wouldn't hate the round two. Also,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: I wrote down how to pronounce this name, so I
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: want to pronounce it right. Princely Oman me Yellen, So
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: you're welcome from that, Ron says the kid from UCLA
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: caught Maya on the combine, he was smooth. He's a sleeper. Yeah, again,
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: that is I guess I've written down to say Olufemi
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Oladejo from UCLA former like off ball linebacker, moved to
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: edge this year. So it's not a ton of production.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: He's still raw, but there's some upside and athleticism plays
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: to run. It's got some fun pieces to definitely look
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: at for sure. But yeah, I think looking at this
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: edge grouping, you could use some reinforcement for this year
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: because Bosa's gonna get hurt at some point. Hoyt has
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: the six game suspension, what happens to Bosa gets hurt
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: in week three? And then your top three edges are
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: what grew at Panessa in Solomon, Like, you need reinforcement
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: for this year, and I also think you need reinforcement
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six because I don't think Bosa's coming back,
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: and there's a chance you also lose aj A Panessa,
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: and then there's also a chance that Solomon doesn't become anything,
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: and so you're now you're sitting there being like what
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: do we do? So that's why Edge is number three
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: is number three for me. Pete says and reps in
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: my common earl. He says, that's fair. Not sure Baron
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: or Amos will last till thirty. It's just so late
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: to get such safely affective prospects. I agree, which is
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: why you know I would be okay with that TRADEO
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: for Williams. What I also like now too. A couple
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I was on like an island with
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: Trey Amos. I was like, no, he's got a round
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: one grade for me. I'd take him at thirty. And
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: people are like, no, he's a round two guy at best.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: And now he's starting to creep up into round one
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: more and more with each passing week for people, and
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: I like it more and more. I don't like him
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: as much as I liked Trent McDuffie, but I have
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: a similar feeling about him that I did towards McDuffie.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: That's all I'll say. I don't want to spoil anything
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: or jinx anything. Ron says, what do you think of
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: the Ohio State Dees? If we're talking about bills fits.
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: I like JTT more than I do Sawyer. I think
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: Sawyer does fit from a play style and from a
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: mentality standpoint, but the short arms I think are going
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: to be a real knock against him for the Bills.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: I think for a lot of teams that'll be a knock,
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: But for the Bills especially, I think JT, with his style,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: the compression, the juice, some of the moves and plan,
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: I think he'd be more of a fit. I wouldn't
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: be opposed to someone like him at the end of
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: round two. Again, I'm phrasing all this because they don't
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: have a third round pick, so there are some guys
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: you might have to reach because there's I think there's
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that would go in round three
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: that aren't going to be there in round four. So
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: if you want him, you're gonna have to take him
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: at the end of round two, depending on how the
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: board falls. But somebody who who I wouldn't be opposed to,
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Pete says Amos has been heating up for sure, A
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: w for you. You never know he could be heating
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: up and he can end up being a terrible player.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: I just thought it was funny, not that anybody kind
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: of gave me pushback, but I definitely felt like very
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: much on an island with I was like, oh, I
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: love Tremos, I love Tremos and really nobody was talking
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: about and I was like, okay, you know what, you
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: know what. I think Kendall texted me this a couple
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: days ago. I think I didn't look at him, but
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: I think Daniel Jeremiah put him in his first round
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: in his latest mock draft, and I think that's why
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: it's heating up. Somebody. I think it was Jeremiah. Somebody
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: notable put him in round one mock, and I think
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: that's why it's starting to heat up a little bit.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: I think I think it's Daniel Jeremiah. Somebody. Feel free
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: to correct and look up if I'm incorrect. I think
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: he had him going to like the Packers or something
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I think like pick twenty six. I
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: think Kendall text me that, but I don't remember.
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: Fair.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: I like all the names and comments and questions we
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: got here. This is fun. This is a good engaging chat.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: My honorable mention I have two, So those are my
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: top three again Corner, Interior, defensive, line and edge. My
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: honorable mention are equal and there oh Tom says DJ
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: also has Kenneth Grant falling to us thirty. Oh fair, fair, fair,
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: Fair Charles says, I had so Charles, I have not
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: watched Ivy. I've seen a little of Jordan Birch in
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: watching Harmon, but not a full evaluation. And I have
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: not watched Josiah Stewart yet. All names on my docket
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: once I finish going through Edge. I'm just not there yet,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: but I will be as we go forward. Also, I'm
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: very excited for April. I have a lot of good
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: guests coming to break down each individual position group or
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: we're going to have conversations about best day one, Day two,
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: and day three fits for the Bills, a lot of
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: prospect diving and hunting at corner, defensive tackle, edge, and
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: a couple other spots as well. So I'm very excited.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: So you will have your answers as we move forward.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: Here come draft cycle. Noah says, if we pick Landon
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Jackson at thirty, beat, don't owe me a new TV.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: I like that subtle way, like because I'm gonna smash it. Yeah,
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: I wouldn't love it at thirty. I'd understand it and
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: I wouldn't completely hate it, but yeah I would not
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: love it, especially based on who I think would be
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: there at thirty. I would be uh, a little flummoxed
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: to say the least. But yeah, all right, so my
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: fourth one, that's an honorable mention. It's two positions. I
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: have the kind of equally tiered slightly more of a
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: one A one B. I'll mention the one A first
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: wide receiver. I like what they have in the room. Again,
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: you guys have heard me saying on the film room
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: myself in air No said I crash out completely, Eric
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: and I have said in the film room Kendall said
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: it years ago. We talked about this a lot. Yeah,
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: Ron knows where my head is at, but I've said
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: this a lot. I believe in building the basketball lineup
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: at wide receiver. I believe in having that, you know,
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: have a point guard, a shooting guard, a small forward,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: a power forward, a center, like all these different types
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: of skill sets and dynamics present in the wide receiver room.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: Looking at the group right now, Yeah, Thomas is Tory
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: Horton late day two or Thornton. Yeah, Tory Horton and
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: Thornton is like the Ryeman. I like it a lot.
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: Tory Horton. I'm a big fan of out of Colorado
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: State hurt last year, but I saw his tape the
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: past couple of years, and I'm a fan of I
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: haven't gotten to Thornton's tape, but I know he can burn.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: I'll go here from Michael James Isaiah Bond. I'd still
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: like a skill set, don't. I thought he had such
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: a down year. He was not the precision route runner
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: that I thought he was this year. But I know
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: he had some injury concerns and there's also some weird
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: kind of character stuff there as well that I'm not
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: a huge fan of. I haven't watched Jalen Royals yet
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: from Utah State, but I'm very intrigued. El says draft
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: Jalen Nole and prosper yet both I always state receivers
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: are intriguing. Jayden Higgins and Jalen Nole for sure. Arian
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Smith is a burner, Noah good call, Ron says Savvy
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: On Williams or TCU haven't watched him yet or Besh,
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: but they are on my list wide receiver. I'm very
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: superficial at right now with who I've gotten in the draft.
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: I don't even have full targets right now. Kyle Williams
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: of Washington State I like, but I'm only like a
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: half game in so we will see and yeah, Tory
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: Horton can absolutely fly and he gives you some special
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: teams value as a part returner, which is what I like.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: So I am making my way through wide receiver. But
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: at this point, again that basketball lineup type of philosophy,
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: and even if you don't believe in that, like they
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: just need more vertical stretch and juice in the room.
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: The only guy you have right now that can stretch
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: the field is Curtis Samuel and I don't think he
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: plays as fast as his forty times indicates. And then
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: also there's injury concerns there. And even if he was
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: one hundred one thousand percent great healthy field stretcher, if
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: he was everything that you wanted, mind you, I do
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: like him as a player, That's still only one field stretcher.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: That's still only one guy. Then you've got key On Coleman,
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: You've got Palmer. Coleman's athletic, but he's not a burner.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: Palmer can get behind guys, but he's not a burner.
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: Shakir is what Shakiir is, but he is not a burner. Like,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: they need somebody who can stretch the field. Who can
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: you know, run those for the love of the game
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: routes and take the top off so digs and other
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: routes can slip in behind you open up some space.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: But I also think somebody who can just win vertically
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: and threaten someone. If you get a one on one
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: and you can alert that and be like, oh my
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: dude's got speed for days, he can beat that corner.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: I'm throwing the deep ball, like, you need somebody who
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: can win vertically, not just with speed, but then track
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: the ball downfield make plays on it. So I do
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: think they need that skill set in the room. They
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: need more juice, they need more vertical stretch in the
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: wide receiver room. So I'm looking at a wide receiver
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: in round four. I know for some people, depending on
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: who falls, I do like Matthew Golden. That's hilarious. Jim
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: literally commented it right now. I do like Matthew Golden.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: It's just it's hard for me to get on board
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: with the wide receiver in round one given the other needs. Again,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: wide receiver technically is like fourth for me. I just
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: think there's either a corner or an edge or an
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman that's going to be available at thirty.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: That would serve you better than Matthew Golden. And I
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: do like Golden, the fluidity, the you know, the breaks,
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: the ability to space. I don't think he plays to
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: his forty time. I know that kind of lit a
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: lot of people up. But dude's a good player. I
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: mean yet, and Tank Ninja says, Texas fans seem to
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: like Golden, you should like Golden. I like Matthew Golden
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: a lot. I like him. I like a Buca, I
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: like a Buka a lot. I haven't watched Tech McMillan yet,
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: but i've seen, you know, from an in game in
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: broadcast game standpoint in the season. I liked him. It
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: would just be hard for me to go wide receiver
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: in Round one for the Bills, given the other needs
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: that are are on the board for me at this
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: time and for you know what I think, for the team.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: Great comment here from Charles saying forty times speed is
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: so overrated. Get more separators that know how to use
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: their speed. Yes, play speed is different than time speed.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Two things on this one. Play speed is different than
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: time speed. Two. You don't need to be a pure
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: burner to win vertically and win down the field. You
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: can do it with deception, you can do it with pacing,
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: you can do it with stem work. But it would
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: be nice if they had a little bit of doce.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: So I'm not saying you're saying that. I just always
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: say these things in conjunction, so because they always get
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: brought up and thought of. So, yeah, wide receiver, I
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: think they need that vertical stretch element and juice in
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: the room. The other one safety mentioned earlier, and Ron
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: mentioned it in the chat a little bit ago, and
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: he said safety and wide receiver. So I'll say a
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: couple of things on it. And this may say more
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: about the safety room than it does about the players.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, to each their own. I
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: do think Derek Forrest can compete for a starting job,
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: But this is more This safety position is more of
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: If Malachi Starks is there at thirty, I am on
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: board with taking him at thirty. If Xavier Wants is
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: there in round two, I'm on board with taking Wats
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: in round two. I don't think safety is necessarily a
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: quote unquote need, but I think the Bills could do
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: themselves a favor schematically with a guy with either guy,
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: specifically Malachi Starks Xavier Watts. So this is more of
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: If Malachi Starks is there at thirty, I get it.
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: If it's Xavier Watts is there in round two, I
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: get it. There's other safeties that I like, but I
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: just don't think the fits are as seamless. Like I
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: like Andrew mccooba from Texas, I don't think the fit
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: is necessarily there because of his side and play style.
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: I think he's more of like an apex safety slot.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: But I do like him as a safety, like the athleticism,
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: the processing, the ability to fall off and collect, but
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: then the juice, the physicality to be able to play
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: from top down angles to the ball, the short air reverse,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: the quickness.
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: I like it.
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: But he's an example I feel like a safety fit
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: that isn't necessarily seamless. Same thing with like Malachi Moore
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: from Alabama. And then I'll speak on nick Emon Warrick.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: I'll speak on nick Emmon Warrey. Now, I don't think
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: nick Emmon Warry is a fit for the Bills. I
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: talked about it a bit in the film room. I
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: think Emon Worry is best suited to be a box
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: safety slash. You know, Big Nickel apex sub package type
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: of linebacker role. That's what I think he's best suited for.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: And I don't think on tape he plays to the
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: athleticism in size that he tests with. For as big
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: and as athletic as he is, I don't think he
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: plays big and or athletic like he's. I think he's
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: a fine player, but I don't think he mays enough
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: makes enough plays where like, oh wow, the size really
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: showed up on that one, Like watch him blow this
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: tight end up, Watch him set the edge versus the run,
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Watch him cover this slot receiver, man up on this,
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: you know, athletic guy, Like I just don't think you
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: see that enough. And even with the way he kind
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: of moves, he moves very heavy footed, almost like his
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: feet or is like cleets have cement in them. He
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: just feels like he just feels heavy, And I like
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: him for those who who watch the show. I keep
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: making the joke. I pick South Carolina in my NC
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: double A twenty five dynasty and NICKI man Worry finished
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: third in the Heisman for me win national championship that year.
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: It was pretty sweet. So I did a lot of
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: things with him in that game. But I just I
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: don't even know where he's gonna rank, and on my
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: safety board it's not too so we'll see where it
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: shakes out. I'm not too high on him. I just
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: think the fit has to be very particular for him
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: to succeed. I'm not saying he's not a round one guy.
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: I just think you have to put him in the
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: right system and with the right team to get him
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: to click. I don't think he's just like a plug
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: and play safety in a variety of teams, right. I
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: think there's some questions physically for his athletic as he
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: is and as well as he tested, I think there's
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: some questions physically, and I also think there's some questions
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: with how he sees the field when he's deeper, so
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: from a processing and a diagnosing standpoint, the deeper he
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: is coming from depth to play the run, but also
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: kind of processing route concepts and route distributions. I think
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: there's some questions there as well. So I don't love
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: I don't want him for the bills, and I do
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: think the fit is more specific for certain teams. So
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: I'm want to get to Emmin Warry because I know
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: several of you asked about him back to the Bill's
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: safety piece as well. Four. Note again, I've said this
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: to Hill multiple times during the season and this offseason.
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: Taylor Rapp only has a six hundred and sixty six
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: thousand dead cap hit if cut after June first, So
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: it's a six hundred and sixty six thousand dead cap
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: hit and a three million dollar savings if he's a
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: post June first cut. So if a safety falls, I
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: don't think it's out of the realm of possibility for
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: them to be like, oh, Malchi Starks is there, cool,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: We're going to take Starks and pair them with one
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: of the other safeties and maybe we cut Rap. I
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen, and I'm not advocating for that,
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: But it's not out of the realm of possibility. Or
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: it's not out of the realm of possibility for them
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: to cut Forest or Hamlin. It's not anut of the
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: realm of possibility that Bishop loses the job to Forest
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: or Hamlin or to another rookie. All I say all
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: these things to say that I don't think safety is
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: in need, but I do think it's a legit competition
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: for safety. Two through four, Right, now with the caveat
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: of I think Cole Bishop is the leader in the
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: clubhouse right now to start opposite of Taylor Rap, which
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: makes sense. I just think there's questions about the same.
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: If you told me that the opening day starting safety
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: group is Rap and Bishop, I believe you. If you
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: told me it was Rap and Forest, I believe you.
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: If you told me it was Rap in Hamlin, I
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: believe you. If you told me it was Rap and
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: a rookie, I believe you. If you told me it
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: was another combination, I believe you. I think there's questions
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: at safety. I think Rap is the closest to having
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: a spot locked down, and I kind of think in
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: theory that he does. But yeah, I don't think it's
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: a need, but I think it's one that they could
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: upgrade schematically. I've talked about it on the show. Again,
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: I don't want to drive too much on it, but
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: I just I just think there's a lot of positional redundancy,
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: and not necessarily in the best way with like Rap
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: and Bishop. Even though Bishop is a different level of athlete,
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: and you know Bishop, Hamlin, Rap, Bishop, all these type
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: of guys, I don't think they have anyone who you know.
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: Forrest is probably the best combination of being able to
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: play the post from an athletic position and also being
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: able to process. Bishop can play as a single high
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: post safety from a range standpoint because of his athleticism,
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: but he doesn't have the processing and the recognition yet.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: Rap can play it from a recognition and a processing standpoint,
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: but he doesn't have to get He doesn't have the
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: athleticism in the range. Neither does Hamlin. Forrest is the
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: best combination of all of those. Forest is probably the
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: best combination. It's safety for the bills of athlete, plus
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: being able to play deep, plus being able to play
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: in the box, plus having some physicality and processing all
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: like all these things. He's not elite at any one thing,
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: but he's he's like above average or average a pretty
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: much everything. He's like a six to a seven in
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: almost everything across the board, which is why I don't
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: think you can kind of cut him out of this competition. Yeah,
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: it's an interesting group to say the least Manny for
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: Marris just should I just give up on Lewis scene.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: I liked him coming out of Georgia. I liked some
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: of his tape in the preseason Minnesota. I don't know,
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: I mean them bringing in Forrest and Hamlin. I think
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: that doesn't say good things. Foreseene, I wouldn't say give up,
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: but you know, I don't think it's great for him.
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: Noah says, how about Taylor Rapp and Andrew mccuba. Mcuba
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: is just interesting, like I, yeah, I don't know. I
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: see him as more like and I don't mean this
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: like not a starner. I see him more as like
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: a third safety for a team, like like a team
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: like the like the Cardinals who run a lot of
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: three safety looks, so the Rams who run a lot
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: of three safety looks like the teams who are Ron
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: you just said Rams. I don't know if you mean
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: that for mccoober or not. But the the idea of
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: him being this guy who can play top down but
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: play around the box. He's got some juice and athleticism
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: and play making on the ball, he's got some slot capability,
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: Like there is all this intriguing tape for macuba. But
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: also I don't know if he fits as kind of
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: like a true or true who were type of safety
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: type of deal ow And for those asking, yeah, I
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: thought I thought Manny was kind of just genuinely asking
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: about Lewis scene. Yeah, scene is on the Eagles. I
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: didn't I thought you just meant like give up on
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: it as a player. Yeah, he got claimed, I believe
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: in January off the practice squad by the Eagles. So
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: he I think he got a ring, So good for him.
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: I'm also seeing a lot of comments too, like I
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: know Rap, I don't. Plenty of dudes have hit each
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: other like I know Rap gets. I don't like the
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: narrative of Rap like friendly fire all the time. I
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: know it's happened a couple of times, but it's also
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: happened with Hamlin. It's also happened with like the linebackers
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: and each other. And I see guys hit each other
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: all the time on other teams and on the bills,
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: and it doesn't get talked about. But Rap has done
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: it a couple of times, and all of a sudden,
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: it's like a huge story. I do feel like it
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: happens to him potentially more than most, but it's not
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: really a story to me. It's more of a non
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: story for me. And as Pete says, Rap solved more
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: problems than he created last season. He's not the guy
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: to replace the moment. Yeah, I don't think he's the
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: guy to replace as well. I think he solidifies that group.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: But if you told me in order to in order
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: to get Malachi Starks it costs Taylor Rap, I'd be like, Okay,
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: but actually I feel bad saying, but I just love
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: Malachi Starks, so I'm fine with that. But yeah, so again,
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: I don't safety's weird. It's not a need, but it's
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: muddy with the competition. I think it's muddy in the
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: positional redundancy. Like I don't love the Bishop Forest or
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: I don't love the Bishop Rap combination. I like rapping
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: Forest better than I like Rap and Bishop. I like
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: Forest and Bishop better than I like Rap and Bishop.
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: Like they're I don't know, like it's just weird. I
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: also too, you guys know, like I I didn't love
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: Bishop as a prospect, but I thought his best fit
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: wouldn't be in a system like the Bills. I thought
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: his best fit was as a you know, put him
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: in the Patriots with what they like to do with
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: their safeties. Put them with the Ravens, like these teams
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: that love to take three safety or multiple safety looks
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: and okay, are you are you off ball? Are you
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: playing deep? Is it single high? Is it split field?
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: Are you playing in a slot? Are you gonna man?
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: Are you gonna like hook the curl, curl the flat?
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: What are you doing? I think he's better suited for
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: that type of defense than in the Bills, even though
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: the Bills are very versatile and interchangeable with their safeties
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: while they were with hide employer. I do think that's
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: more of a traditional type of safety role, and I
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: don't think Bishop is necessarily best suited for that. But
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: again he could develop into that, so we'll see. Yeah,
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: safety's weird. I would like them to take one on
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: day three, and I wouldn't be opposed to Malachi starts
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: at thirty, even again we talked about it earlier. In
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: that example, I think Charles gave me I am Trey
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: Amos or John Ay Barron or bust at pick thirty.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: I don't think Baron's gonna be there, so I'm signing
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: right now. I'm signing up for Trey amost at thirty.
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: But if Malachi Starks was there, oh man, the heart
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: wants what it wants, and the head wants what it
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: wants to like starts as sweet. His tape the past
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: couple of years is better than it was this past year.
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: But man, oh yeah, I'm very intrigued, very intrigued by
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: those position groups. And yeah, that's kind of That's where
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: I'm at at this point. So corner, interior, defensive line edge,
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: and then honorable mention for wide receiver and safety. That's
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: where I'm at right now. You know who doesn't need
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: an honorable mention? One Pie Pizza the best pizza in Buffalo,
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: New York. Sincerely, If you have not gotten yourself from
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: One Pie Pizza, get yourself some. I don't say they
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: are the best pizza in Buffalo, New York because they
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: sponsor the show. They sponsor the show because I think
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: they're the best pizza in Buffalo, New York. Sweet Sauce
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: pie cup and chart Pepperoni a great cheese of sauce ratio.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: They make their own homemade blue cheese. If you get
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: different toppings, they chop them all up evenly and sprinkle
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: them along the pizza evenly for like even taste distribution
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: in every bite. They do catering options. They make a
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: really great array of mac and cheese is it just
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: so good. I had them catering Invenor in the summer
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: and it was phenomenal. Everybody loved it. A lot of
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: out of town pea who loved it as well, which
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: was cool. And they also do a lot of good
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: for the community, partner with Roswell and Knockout Cancer, partner
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: with the SPCA, the Alzheimer's Foundation, the SPCA, they do
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: a lot of good for the community in Buffalo just
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: from a giving standpoint, but also from a delicious taste standpoint.
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: So if you live in the Buffalo area, or if
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: you are traveling to the Buffalo area or visiting whatever it,
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: get yourself in one PI pizza you will not be
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: disappointed again. The online menu can be found in the
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: episode show notes, whether here on YouTube or whichever podcasting
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: app or platform who are listening to this show on?
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: Paison says, who's the best pizza in Rochester? I don't know.
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: I've only had pizza in Rochester wants and it was
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: in college and I don't remember where we went. I
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: was taken there by some friends and I don't remember
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: where we were. Where we went it was good, though,
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: but I don't know. So if there's someone in the
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: chat from Rochester who knows what's up with pizza? Tell
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: Paithon who's the best pizza in Rochester. Zen Clover says,
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: you prefer Trey Amos to Maxwell Harriston. I think I
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: would lean Harston. I do prefer Amos from an on
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: field you know, scheme fit standpoint. I like Hairston as well.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: If you go back earlier, you know when I talked
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: about corner, You know my picks at thirty are Barren
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: or Amos. I wouldn't be opposed to Harriston at thirty.
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: I would like him more in round two, but I
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: also have heard there's some off the field stuff that
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: may might ding him on the bills board. But just
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: from an on the field standpoint, I do like his game.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: The tackling is a bit worrisome. He's more of a
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: guy that I would like with the round two pick
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: than I wouldn't pick thirty. But if they took him
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: at thirty, I wouldn't be completely florid or disappointed because
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: the speed is very real and his play style from
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: a pass covered standpoint works. And then Noah says, yeah, uh,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: Chavon Revel or Shavn Revel I've heard his name pronounce
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: like seven different ways and interviews. I'm a couple of
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: games into him, but I need to see the twenty
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: twenty three tape and then juxtaposed it with the twenty
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: twenty four. I am very intrigued just because the ball
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: scales and the coverage ability and what he did. But
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: right now it's gonna be hard for people to pass
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: Amos for me or even Barren. Adrian says, what do
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: you think about James Pierce Junior. I haven't finished my
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: eval on him, but I don't think he's necessarily an
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: archetype fit for the Bills, and I've heard both publicly
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: and privately about some character things that I think are
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: gonna make him a bit of a hard fit for
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: the Bills and maybe even other teams in general. But
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: the juice plays and the athleticism sure plays. You see
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: that with regularity for him and from him. But I'm
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: still not finished from my evaluation him with the edge
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: grouping in general. But yeah, there's so that's what I
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: got right now. I'm Puerce oh RJ says. Pie time
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: in Rochester is pretty good. The owner is from Manhattan
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: but a Jets fan unfortunately, and then he says, I
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: hope one pie comes to Rochester one day. I would
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: second that notion. We talked about it, the global domination,
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: to start with Rochester and then work to Syracuse, and
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: then we get into Toronto and we take over Canada.
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: We're all over, all, over, all over, Zen says, I
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: grew with your criticism. I just think Harston is a
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: higher ceiling personally and could figure it out. Plus anticipating
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: more man coverage next year, didn't know about the off
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: the field stuff. Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree with Hairston.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: I think the ceiling is also high for Amos, and
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: even from a man coverage standpoint, Amos I'm comfortable with
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: putting him in press man right now. And because of
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: his footwork and arm length and technique, he's just going
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: to be a problem and he's going to restrict airspace
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: at the release, in the stem and on the break.
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: I think Hairston is less technically refined. But the speed
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: and where am I where? Let me find my notes
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: on Harston? But the speed and where's my email? Why
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: is my doc? Yes, that's what it is. But Harston's
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: recovery speed and speed in general, and he's got very
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: calm and clean feet that allows him to stay in
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: phase almost with everybody the short area burst and that
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: man coverage ability because of his calm feet and someone
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: of his phys county in tenaciousness. I think it does
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: work a bit, but I just prefer a most from
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: his scheme, the schemes that he's coming from at Oll
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: Miss and then the individual skill set pieces in aside
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: from the off the field stuff. I would still have
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: Amost ranked ahead of Hairston, but I do like Hairston
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: even even with the smaller stature and frame and some
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: of the tackling woes and concerns. But yeah, fair point,
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: fair point there, zen Clover. I'm gonna throw up the
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: banner that says tootles folks, because we'll start to wind
