We're so glad that you're joining us for some of your Buffalo Bills and NFL
0:59
content Again today, and as always, these are my Bill's thoughts set out
1:03
loud, so ridiculous, sick show cane. Where's would you like to be?
1:23
All right, let's get straight to it. Really excited for tonight's episode.
1:29
It's funny because I am normally not a big draft guy. I had
1:33
joked about it at the end of last week's episode that I'm not really you
1:38
know, more of a draft guy. I'm just more of a just show
1:41
me the players tell me the numbers, tell me when training camp starts,
1:45
and then I'll pick up from there and watch some highlights. And it's funny
1:49
because we joked about it at the end of the last week's episode. I
1:51
just I mean, Brandon Bean has got my full attention. I think he
1:55
spoke with the media today. I'm down at one Bill's Drive. I know
1:57
that Sean dermant did as well, along with Josh Allen, and everybody's just
2:02
covering over all of the off season and everybody's getting back to work and the
2:07
OTAs and everybody's attending and I think McDermott said about ninety five percent participation,
2:12
which is nice. So football is almost in the air. It's not back
2:15
in the air, but it's almost in the air and I can't wait.
2:20
As always, joining me tonight for the first ever Nickel City Crew mock draft
2:25
writing shotgun as always my co host Adam Dump Truck Repsick. Check them out
2:30
on Instagram, in Twitter at Adam Repsick, r U p c is EYK
2:35
holla at the crew DT. What's good DT. I mean we got a
2:38
little we got a little mock draft tonight. I'm City, what's up?
2:42
What's we're back, and yeah, dude, let's let's rock and roll.
2:46
We're talking mock draft. I'm with you. I'm usually a little more laid
2:51
back and when it comes from the draft, and really since we got you
2:54
know, one seven in seventeen, uh, you know, back back a
2:58
few years ago. Really the draft, we're quiet. When we were up
3:00
in the front, it was a little more exciting, you know, to
3:02
see who were getting in that in that top ten round when you know,
3:06
hopefully it was our next quarterback, and it never seemed to be a quarterback,
3:10
you know, until it was Josh Allen. So I'm I was kind
3:13
of with you in the past couple of years because we haven't really had holes
3:15
to fill. Now we got a couple, so I'm a lot more interested.
3:19
And I mean, shit, I do fifty mock drafts for my fantasy
3:23
football team, so I guess we should lock in and do a one for
3:27
the team that we you know, best our lives into for the actual drafts.
3:30
So let's rock it. I love it. Shout out to to Scott
3:35
read over there at the k Gun Report. I was asking him. I
3:38
was reaching out to him last night in this warning trying to figure out Hey,
3:40
how do you do these mock drafts? How do you, you know,
3:44
figure this all this stuff out. So we're gonna do it tonight for
3:46
sure, and we're excited about it. And again, it's just funny because
3:50
I have just not that guy, but Brandon Bean has got my full attention.
3:54
I'm sitting straight up in my chair and I'm I'm paying full attention to
4:00
everything that's going on. Ever since the step on Dick's trade. You know,
4:02
had a lot of fun last week DT getting together with with Robert Mundy
4:06
and getting together with Justice General and it felt good to kind of cleanse it
4:13
and get everything out. And then I saw today that you know, Brandon
4:15
Bean was at the podium, Sean McDermott was at the podium, seventeen was
4:20
at the podium. So everybody had a chance to come in, and obviously
4:25
Stefan Diggs was one of the you know, the main topics, and everybody
4:27
kind of kept, you know, the company line and towed the company line.
4:30
And it was funny because when I was sitting there at lunch listening to
4:33
some of the press conferences, it was like, you know, everybody was
4:38
very careful to make sure that they you know, they spoke glowingly and they
4:42
spoke you know, all the just pleasantries and it was it was very nice
4:46
to see. However, you know that it's it's funny because you know they're
4:49
not telling you everything that they really feel, and I understand that's part of
4:54
the game. But it was just funny to see, you know, everybody
4:57
had the company lines today and you know, appreciate his contribut and YadA YadA.
5:00
Yeah. I think Brandon Bean was asked directly how Josh felt when he
5:05
heard the news that that Stephan Dixs was being traded. He said, I
5:09
don't want to get into that, so just in hearken back and made me
5:12
think of robber Money and made me think of Justice General from last week,
5:15
because uh, we're not going to hash it out again. Obviously we already
5:17
did that. But it was just funny to see dt that everybody kind of
5:20
everybody just kind of played it cool, kept everything close to the best.
5:25
Chalk chalk chalk, right. I mean, you go in and this is
5:28
after all the you know, kind of drama leading up in the past two
5:32
years. These are questions they've only answered and now all right, it's over.
5:36
We're gonna come in, we're gonna put it to rest. And they
5:40
kind of did. But you know what we did the past, you know,
5:43
the past couple of couple episodes of putting it to rest and and you
5:47
know, staying stay in chalk all the way through. One thing. You
5:50
know, I've noticed and you know, Nickel City kind of you know,
5:56
chip in and and and do your homework until next week's episode of this because
6:01
I've noticed that Josh in these press conferences, you know it all kind of
6:05
I started noticing last year when that real awkward one happened when Digs missed training
6:11
camp or mini camp or whatever. And I love him, Yeah, yeah,
6:20
exactly. He just his mannerisms in when you know, normal interviewing anything.
6:27
But Stephan Diggs he's pretty you know, pretty stoic, doesn't you know,
6:30
answers the questions has it's some enthusiasm, but but keeps it pretty stoic.
6:34
But Stefan Diggs comes up and from last year all the way through the
6:40
season, all the way through, it was like he was he was trying
6:43
to It's like he's trying to extra be in tune to the question. You
6:48
know, he's like he's like his eyes open a little wider. He nods
6:51
his head a little bit to like like he's interested in the question, like
6:56
yep, yep, I'm listening, yep, yep. You know, like
6:59
just go back watch some watch some press conferences from one to seven, and
7:01
when specifically, when you start talking about Stefan Diggs, it's a it's a
7:05
physical change in his demeanor. And I'm not saying that means there was it
7:11
was a deeper problem than you know then we're trying to figure out. But
7:14
I think the you know, I think it's he knew it was. It
7:17
was a touchy situation, and he was trying to be as clean as possible
7:20
on the press conference side, you know, to to ensure that, you
7:25
know, everything was good on that end too. So yeah, absolutely,
7:27
I think that he, you know, he understands that he's in the spotlight.
7:30
I think that he's noticed that for sure, as he's ascended and as
7:34
he's becoming, you know, the face of team so dermay Can called him
7:36
the face of the franchise. So he I think he recognizes his place within
7:41
the franchise. And then with that, obviously any type of controversy, he
7:44
wants to keep people off of the scent. He wants to throw people ball
7:46
to the sense. So I think that it's just a part of the job
7:49
of just you know, making sure that you know you're keeping everything just copoesthetic,
7:55
you know, crossing all t's dotting all eyes to make sure that any
7:58
type of in house uh drama or bullshit stays just that, you know,
8:01
in house drama. So it's it's fun now now listen DT as we transition.
8:07
I mean, draft is one week away from tonight, DT next Thursday,
8:11
and I think it's in Motown, right And I'm on the Wide Receiver
8:16
train DT. I've been on it, you know. I know that Jeremy
8:18
White of w g R kind of coined that phrase and and it's been going
8:22
on for some years now, and I'm I'm really a part of the wide
8:26
receiver train. I think that it's an important thing today and we're going to
8:28
get to it in a little bit about some of the comments that ran and
8:31
being made today about specifically about wide Receiver one. But I'm I'm on the
8:37
train. I think that I just really want them to get it right,
8:41
you know, obviously, And it's one of those situations where because of the
8:45
reason that I have never really paid attention to the draft. It's just you
8:48
had said it last week, Dt that the draft is just like a game
8:50
of craftsman. It's it's red or black man. I mean, you put
8:54
your money on the table, throw down that little white ball, and then
8:58
that thing is spinning around and you have no idea what's going to happen,
9:01
and you're just hoping and it's just like, I just hope that we hit
9:05
the pick, to be honest with you. And it was funny because Brandon
9:07
Beana talked about today that you know, wide receiver one is not really essential
9:11
to the development of the offense. And you know, I just I raised
9:15
my hand, you know, as I'm listening, called bullshit, Like you
9:16
know, I even said it on Twitter, like that's you know, that's
9:18
bullshit. Now I understand that he's got again we talked about he's got certain
9:22
things to say, and Josh Allen's got certain things to say. But I
9:26
have to believe that with Stefan Diggs out of the door and gave Davis one
9:30
hundred and fifty plus catches that we talked about last week out of the door,
9:33
they have got to be supremely focused on finding a way to fill that
9:37
void. Now, maybe you're not gonna get a stuff on Diggs right off
9:41
the bat, you know, justin Jefferson, you know, like the Vikings
9:43
said when they traded for for Stephan Diggs and gave it that pick. But
9:46
man, like you got to get like you've got to find a way to
9:50
get some type of production. Curtis Samuel's not it, Mac Collins, all
9:54
those different guys are not are not the answer. So I'm trying to figure
9:56
out. You know, I understand that there are different things that the GM
10:01
has to say, and the coach has to say, and the quarterback has
10:03
to say. But I called bluff on that one, Like I was just
10:05
not I think it's a little bit of gamesmanship. There's no way that they
10:09
don't know that we need a wide receiver one. I don't think there's anyway.
10:13
Yeah, I mean, and you we were talking heavy on you know,
10:16
the wide receiver training before Digs was traded. Even this was kind of
10:20
a no brainer pick to you know, very very full around the mafia.
10:26
Definitely Nicol City crew of taking a receiver in the first round, even without
10:30
stuff on Diggs, I spoke on it had to be a succession plan.
10:33
Well, the succession plans now he's gone, so it's you know, it's
10:37
it's gotta be somebody. So, I mean, the class is rich,
10:41
the class is deep. There's a lot of opportunity everywhere you look at it.
10:46
In the very front, in the middle, and the back end,
10:48
there's opportunity. And that's you know, that's probably cliche to say, but
10:52
that's probably the case in most drafts, but definitely, you know, in
10:54
the wide receiver room. In the past couple of years, these wide receiver
10:58
classes have been coming in a little different, a little more polished, a
11:01
little more ready for the NFL than you know, in previous years. It
11:05
take a few years to kind of take off. These guys are coming in
11:07
as great wide receiver ones kind of out of the get go. I mean,
11:09
you saw plenty of names last year, do it, and you know
11:13
the year before and the year before. So the league is continuing to get
11:16
full of young, young, superstar talent. And you know, that's where
11:20
the Bills are going. And they got rid of the old. Now it's
11:22
in with the new. And I don't know about saying that a wide receiver
11:26
one isn't essential to the offense. Because if you don't, if you don't
11:31
have one and you start not producing, what's the first thing that everyone's gonna
11:33
say, including you know, the coaching staff, and and everybody is gonna
11:37
be getting getting wide receiver one. So I mean it's there's I think the
11:41
dilemma of what to do with that twenty eight pick if we go up or
11:45
down, And we'll get into that tonight. But it's a really rich class
11:48
and receivers are coming in a lot hotter than they used to be. So
11:52
I don't think it's a it's not even a question. If it wasn't a
11:54
question before Diggs left, now it isn't even more like it's it's a receiver.
12:00
I'm on. Yeah. I mean it's funny because you know, like
12:05
you know, when you talk about you know, the things that they say
12:07
and the press conferences, and you had talked about some things that you had
12:09
noticed about about seventeen at the podium. You know, everybody's going to say
12:13
those types of things. I think that maybe it was you know, parts
12:16
gammanships in respects to the fact that he doesn't want to tip his hand.
12:20
He doesn't want somebody to kind of you know, put him over the rakes,
12:24
so to speak, or you know, you know, fuck him over
12:26
when it comes time and he's calling to try to trade up if that's what
12:28
he you know, if that's what he decides to do, he doesn't want
12:31
anybody to have any leverage. Well, I know you need a wide receiver,
12:33
so you got to pay me more, like, you know, like
12:35
screw off, man, Like you're not gonna You're not gonna take advantage of
12:37
me just because of the fact that you think that I need something. And
12:39
I understand that that's all a part of the games, the shit of the
12:43
draft, and I do like that part of the draft. I like the
12:45
fact that they're maneuvering and there there's different you know, strategies that are employed
12:50
in this whole thing. So I get that. But to say that we
12:52
don't need it and it's not essential, I thought it was a little bit
12:56
too far. So because he said that that's exactly what, you know,
12:58
kind of tip me off to the fact that I think that he's just he's
13:01
doing that to kind of protect his chips, to make sure that he's not
13:03
taking advantage off down the road. Yeah. And now, now it's funny
13:07
because when you look at the Draft DT. One of the main reasons that
13:11
I've never been a draft guy is that it's kinda it's funny that we all
13:16
become experts, not all of us, but a lot of people would become
13:18
experts this time of year, and everybody wants to tell you what they know.
13:24
It's funny because you know, we have no clue what these guys are
13:28
going to be. And and I thought of, you know, an analogy
13:31
would have been that, you know, if we had a clue what the
13:33
draft was going to be and what these prospects were going to turn out to
13:35
be, then you know, from draft, you know, round one,
13:39
pick one, all the way to mister irrelevant, we would just draft,
13:43
you know, based on you know, ability and contribution to the teams,
13:46
and it would just go down the list one all the way to you know,
13:50
whatever the case may be for mister irrelevant. Obviously that's not the case.
13:52
Rock Party showed us that, you know, we always have Tom Brady
13:56
fans that will show you and say scoreboard, because not only did the Patriots
14:01
you know, pass on them six times, but everybody other team passed on
14:03
them six times before the obviously was drafted. So I think it's interesting because
14:09
everybody just seems to have an idea and they have strong conviction, I think
14:13
is the best word to say. If everybody, well, this this guy's
14:16
gonna work, and this guy's gonna work, and it just doesn't work that
14:20
way DT and I just I like to lend again, I fancy myself as
14:24
a realist. I like to lend a little bit of sensibility to it.
14:28
And because of the fact that we have no clue what these guys are gonna
14:31
do, I think that I almost just leave it. That's why I just
14:35
leave the draft up to the professionals, the guys that do go on those
14:37
scouting trips, the guys that do spend the time to go to those colleges
14:41
to watch these guys play, because even them, even they don't know what
14:45
the hell's going on. And I just think that sometimes we get wrapped up
14:46
with prospects that we like, or that we're familiar with, or that we
14:50
maybe watched a lot of you know, I'm a Michigan fan, so oh
14:54
well, JJ McCarthy is definitely better than Jayda Dany, Like you have no
14:58
you know, like we don't, we have no c So it's just interesting
15:01
to look at the dichotomy between it, because I just think that it's a
15:05
big time crapshoot, like you talked about, Yeah, And I mean I'm
15:09
with the I'm more of the thing of not the player themselves, I mean
15:15
selfishly the player themselves, like what can that player do to make Josh Allen
15:20
better? You know? That's right? That's kind of my when it comes
15:22
to a wide receiver specifically, right, it's not You're gonna come in and
15:26
be good in the league. It's like can can the ball be put on
15:31
you? And you you know you take it? You know, can can
15:33
the ball? Like can you become you know, the you don't have to
15:37
be a long career and in all these stats are like what are you gonna
15:41
do to make one seven better? And That's how I'm kind of looking at
15:43
it, because yeah, I'm like you, I don't know, you know,
15:45
you don't know work ethic, you don't know a lot of these things
15:48
by like straight up, you know, highlight reels and watching these guys on
15:52
Saturday, and then the simple things of you know, guys that like bo
15:56
Nicks, We're not in a quarterback market, so I can kind of into
16:00
this, right, but Bo Knicks played the SEC at Auburn, you know,
16:03
and just got kind of crushed, like sucked, and then goes out
16:07
to the Pac twelve and he's good and he's good and granted they don't play
16:11
it all on defense out there, Okay, whatever the case is. But
16:14
you know, does that say that he's really not good or he just needed
16:17
to be in the right situation to make himself and and so you know,
16:19
that's what makes seventeen better and putting the people in the right situation, as
16:23
cliche as that is, but you know, you never know what, you
16:26
know, what what's gonna happen. If if Sammy Watkins would have been better
16:30
somewhere else, if you know, if if anything would have any of those
16:33
real draft picks that were busted would have turned out to be good, you
16:37
know, somewhere else, and vice versa. And that's why everyone gets all
16:40
up in arms. When we traded that ten pick away to get Trey White
16:42
at twenty seven and the Chiefs took Mahomes, it's like, oh, you
16:45
could add Mahomes. Who knows if Mahomes yeah, you know. So so
16:51
that's that's what you got to look at as well of you know, how
16:53
do they fit and what makes our like what makes our team better? I
16:59
selfishly, I don't care about you coming in. I don't care if you're
17:00
a player. I need you to make us better by you know, the
17:04
skill. I love it. Yeah, shout out to Ricky on the on
17:08
the chat. We've got seven one six uh sports Blizzard as well a man
17:11
Robbie from Buffalo fan base as well joining in tonight. And and Ricky is
17:15
right, you know, like you know, it's funny because when we're looking
17:18
at it, what the hell are we going to do dt with this with
17:22
this pick at twenty eight? And and is it going to be a trade
17:25
up scenario? Is it something where Brandon Bean stands pat Because I'm with Ricky,
17:29
you know, I don't want to waste too much of the future,
17:32
you know, trading up. And I talked about that. The Stefan Diggs
17:34
trade kind of brought that to a head for me. You know, I
17:37
was already more you know, cautious of trading up because of Sammy Watkins and
17:41
different things like that. And you know, you trade up for Sammy Watkins,
17:45
but there's all these other great receivers behind him that you you passed on,
17:48
and then you had to give up the draft capitol to move up,
17:51
and then he you know, he obviously doesn't pan out. He wasn't bad
17:53
for the Bills, but it just didn't work out because we didn't have really
17:56
a quarterback with EJ. Manual at the time. It's funny what that's gonna
18:00
happen before as we transition, because I mean, I've got I really feel
18:04
like Brandon Bean can go anyway on this whole thing. I know that he
18:08
likes to trade up. I know that that's in his nature. He's aggressive,
18:11
especially if he sees somebody that he likes. He admitted today he does
18:15
not have twenty eight on first round grades. Rarely do they. You know,
18:18
NFL teams on average, DT will average around you know, seventeen to
18:22
twenty first round grades per year. So there's not you know, you're looking
18:26
at this draft thing. We're about to do this back mock draft in a
18:29
moment, there's not thirty two first round grades, you know for these teams.
18:32
So they've got their their dryer RaSE boards and they'll rank these guys one
18:36
to mister irrelevant. But as they group them by rounds, there's you know,
18:40
fifteen sixteen. You know, eighteen first round grades Brandon Bean the mitst
18:44
that there's not twenty eight. Now, I don't know if that's him softening
18:47
us up to let us know, Hey, I've getting ready to trade up,
18:49
so be ready because I'm getting ready to move up to get my guy,
18:52
or if it's just him, you know, just being honest, you
18:56
know what I mean, Like, I don't I don't have twenty eight guys,
18:57
and I will put a first round grade up on the board on our
19:00
our whiteboard here at one pulls Drive. So what do you like? What
19:03
are your what does your gut tell you about Brandon Bean and about moving up
19:07
or standing pat because I think that almost anything is on the table, including
19:12
and I know everybody wouldn't want to hear this as we're doing a block,
19:15
but including trade down. I know nobody wants to hear that. But yeah,
19:18
I think that's possibility too. Yeah, you're saying, Louke, get
19:22
rid of when you say trade down, get rid of first round pick going
19:26
to the second album. Yeah, I don't think it's Yeah, I mean,
19:30
my my gut says what history says, and that's gonna be we trade
19:34
up, you know, we trade up, ain't Stephen Cavina, and there
19:37
you go. We trade up three, three or four picks, get the
19:41
guy we want in that you know, twenty three, twenty four, twenty
19:45
five range, and that's you know, what he's done since he's been in
19:48
in the league as our GM. So I think that's what's gonna happen now,
19:51
because there's gonna be with so many rich names, there's gonna be one
19:53
of those names like that guy's a little later than I thought he was gonna
19:57
and then that's an opportunity to kind of go up get it. I'm under
20:00
the I don't think you should trade up any more than four or five spots
20:03
for anything but a quarterback. I mean, if you need a franchise quarterback,
20:07
do what you gotta do right anything else, I'm I'm a firm believer
20:11
or not, you know, not going up too high. So my gut
20:14
says being just gonna do what he always does, go up a few spots,
20:18
get somebody that's that's sexy enough at that twenty three twenty four range.
20:22
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think that you know, you can't
20:23
put it past them to move up. We've already seen that a part of
20:26
his nature in addition to the fact that you know him, standing pat might
20:30
not be a bad idea. And then you know, accumulating some more picks,
20:33
you know, picking up that third rund pick that they thought that they
20:36
were going to get as that comp pick. Maybe that's something that they try
20:40
to recoup, you know, trade back. That's not gonna make anybody happy.
20:42
I understand that everybody's gonna be pissed. Everybody's got their draft parties next
20:45
week and stuff like that. So we'll see how it goes. Now as
20:48
we transition DT, we will skip next week for the draft. We'll let
20:52
everybody enjoy it and do whatever you do. Like I talked about the draft
20:56
parties and different things like that, to get togethers. We have been invited
21:00
DT, yet we've been invited to to hang out with the guys from the
21:06
k Gun Report the week following the draft. So I think that that's what
21:08
we're gonna do. Nickel City crew look for us. Well, we'll obviously
21:11
put out some information on that as well, but they've got to like a
21:14
little post draft party that they're gonna be doing, you know, showing their
21:18
little initial reactions on the draft picks. And different things like that the following
21:21
week. I'm down for that. They have invited us both DT, and
21:23
I think it would be a good opportunity to cross pollinate spread Nickel City Crew
21:29
to another different you know, genre, and another different in the audience as
21:33
well. So I think we're gonna do that DT. So I'm excited about
21:36
the draft as well coming up next week. DT. The more quarterbacks the
21:41
mirror, I mean, I keep hearing about J. J. McCarthy.
21:44
I told you I'm a Michigan fan, and like I did not think that
21:47
he was the first round pick or anything like that. You know, nothing
21:49
special. He didn't. He wasn't really asked to do anything special. So
21:52
I've never really seen him do anything special. But he's moving up the board.
21:56
And you know the debate about Jaden Daniels and then are the Patriots gonna
21:59
trade out at number three? Are they going to stay there? Stay put?
22:02
I think their GM today said that he's open to offers, but you
22:06
know, he's still looking at these quarterbacks and different things like that. I'd
22:10
love some juicy trade ups DT. I'd love some juicy move around the board
22:14
and different things like that. More receivers that go down the board, the
22:17
better. I mean, I'm all with it, man, I am all
22:19
with it. Yeah, the contradiction. I mean, the first the front
22:27
half of this draft is going to be obviously loaded up with quarterbacks. A
22:30
lot of those, you know, teams in the top five six need franchise
22:34
quarterbacks, so they're all going to be quarterbacks. But then what's the next
22:40
thing, Right, you get a lot of teams that, with this wide
22:44
receiver class being so sexy, a lot of teams have that don't need a
22:48
quarterback say okay, now I need to give my quarterback somebody to throw to.
22:52
So then that makes receiver the second scariest position, you know, like
22:56
for sitting at twenty eight and lotting receiver, you're gonna see runs on receivers.
23:02
I mean, that's just that's just gonna be part of it. And
23:03
as we saw last year, all those guys were kind of really pushed back
23:07
until that nineteen twenty twenty one and then they all went, you know,
23:11
in right before us, in sink, right right ahead of time. So
23:15
yeah, I don't think it's gonna be that like that this year. I
23:18
think it's gonna be pushed back and then there it's gonna go. But I
23:22
don't think it's just there's there's different levels of you know, of these receivers
23:25
classes that you know we're gonna start seeing. So you know, I don't
23:30
it's gonna be tough. I I twenty eight a tough spot to be when
23:34
you went off with this much sexy stuff going on in the board, that
23:38
means you're good. Yeah, we're gonna have to be patient. We're gonna
23:41
have to be patient because these are it's gonna be cool to see all these
23:45
quarterbacks go, go go, But then just no receivers are coming right after
23:48
and that's probably in that same sequence. Yeah, it's funny, you know,
23:51
And and Ricky's right. You know. The old line is that they
23:53
say this is one of a big time O line tackle rich drafts. So
23:56
you're gonna see some old offensive linemen go as well early in the draft.
24:00
But it does make me nervous for sure. I'll be looking, you know,
24:03
we you know the I think that the draft really starts at at four
24:07
or three or even three depending on what you know you believe with the reports
24:11
coming out of New England, but at four of the Cardinals, you know,
24:15
do they trade out of that pick. Do they let a quarterback needy
24:18
team come up, like Minnesota or something like that, come up and get
24:21
their guy. You know, even if they do take Harrison Junior, then
24:25
you've got you know, like the Chargers like right after they don't need a
24:27
quarterback. Harball building a squad and he's let a lot of his high priced
24:33
veterans go, like Mike Williams and different things like that. So maybe he
24:36
is interested in moving back, Yeah, Keenan Allen exactly, So maybe they're
24:40
interested in moving back. So, you know, I don't think that there's
24:42
gonna be anybody that's gonna have a tough time having partner so to speak.
24:47
If you're looking to go up, or if Brandon Bean specifically is looking to
24:49
go off, I think he's gonna have somebody to play, you know,
24:52
two to tangle, they said. You know, so I think he's gonna
24:55
find a dance partner. But it's a situation where, you know, just
24:59
like you said, like the wide receiver run happens and what it does,
25:00
you better be on that on ahead of the curve, so to speak,
25:04
because you could get left out. I think that dlphin Kincaid was not their
25:08
first option again. They were going to come out at the press conference and
25:14
just like today, they're going to say all the right things, and they're
25:15
going to tell you that he was our last first round grade or what of
25:18
the case may be, or we jumped and traded up to get him because
25:22
we just had to have him. I think that he was more of a
25:23
pick out of out of circumstance. I don't think that they expected, you
25:27
know, Jackson Smith and Jigbu and all of those guys just to just go
25:30
as they flowers. They just I mean they literally, you're right, they
25:33
went bing bing bing bing bing, and then all of a sudden it's over
25:37
and you've got nothing left. So because of that, I think that they
25:40
Okay, let's find the best padic. Okay, who's the best pass catcher.
25:41
Okay, you know this guy Kink from Utah can really catch the ball.
25:45
Baby, We'll just switch to some more twelve personnel. So I think
25:48
that that was more of a situation where they kind of got caught with their
25:49
pants down, so to speak, didn't want to trade up too far,
25:52
and then all of a sudden it just kind of crumbled in front of them.
25:56
That makes me a little bit scared and a little bit nervous. But
26:00
as we shift, DT, who is your favorite wide receiver prospect? Because
26:03
one of the things that I'm struggling with and one of the things that I
26:07
do not like about the draft process, and this goes back to Cam Newton,
26:11
which I felt a lot of personal ways about, not because of being
26:14
down here in Charlotte, but just like when I heard people talking about his
26:18
smile not being genuine, and I was like, Okay, wait a minute.
26:21
You guys are literally trying to you know, and these are young men
26:23
who are getting ready to change their lives. They're getting ready to come into
26:26
you know, generational wealth for you know, a large part of them.
26:30
If they're smart with their money in that first contract where their lives are changed,
26:33
their families' lives are changed. It's like hitting them, you know.
26:36
I talked about it last week, hitting the football lotto. And they just
26:38
pick and pick at these guys. And one of the parts of the draft
26:41
processes that I do not like is like how they pick at these guys.
26:45
And it's funny because I don't know who your favorite prospect is, DT,
26:49
But whoever you say, I've got some I've got notes here that I can
26:52
talk shit about all of that, because that part of the draft is really
26:56
picking up. I heard some crazy shit about ad Mitchell most recently, and
27:00
it just just down the line it goes. Man. They will find anything,
27:04
They will find anything. They'll talk to old girlfriends, they'll talk to
27:07
anybody to figure out some dirt on you. And it's just sometimes it just
27:11
makes me feel like politics like it it is, it can get rough out
27:14
there for these draft prospects. Man, you don't have to be laring tons
27:18
of with a gas mask anymore. If there just too dumb ship, they'll
27:19
find something that it's not even you know, not even anything, and they'll
27:23
they'll they'll weaponize it against you. It's a funny thing, right, I
27:26
mean put a put us back to you know, our my last year of
27:30
college, and if I had if I had people you know, nip picking
27:33
me on who I wasn't a person at that point in my life when you
27:37
get ready to take a job, full blowing degenerate and you know, and
27:41
and Stephan Cavin, I'd listen to here. He knows what you know.
27:45
If we had a judge on on on eighth Street up at Osgo State judge
27:49
us all one by one, and you never would have got hired man fast
27:56
Day party, that's for sure. So it's a funny constant definitely, But
28:02
tis the business. I mean, you're going in and gonna be offered,
28:04
you know, multimillion dollars and and and uh and so you you need to
28:10
get picked up and picked apart. It's exactly like politics when it comes to
28:12
the end, for sure. You know, teams making stuff up to try
28:18
to move teams away from guys that they want more than we know. Yes,
28:22
yeah, yeah, and something like I mean I think it went back
28:25
to when Harbaugh got hired and he was being slick and say like, oh
28:29
J J. McCarty is the best quarterback because you don't need a quarterback.
28:33
Yeah, you don't need a quarterback, you know, and uh, he
28:37
doesn't need a quarterback in LA. So that it was just funny to hear
28:41
stuff like that. And like we talked about earlier, Brandon being saying,
28:45
oh, wide receiver is not essential, but I mean he better be looking
28:48
at a wide receiver, right. So it's a funny thing kind of picking
28:52
these guys apart and rolling. But back to your original question, My number
28:55
one wide receiver prospect in this draft, and it has been the whole time.
28:59
It has been since November of last year. Is Roman Dunday out of
29:03
Washington. He's my guy, Rob. He just yeah, he just he's
29:10
probably too up there, but he could breathe the Buffalo air Man. He's
29:14
he's a beast. He he does all the intangibles that make you good and
29:18
he just it just looks like he's got the grit to get it done.
29:19
And I watched a lot of Washington games this year, really before they were
29:23
number one in the country and going for the national championship. It you know,
29:27
it definitely he's he stepped out to me a lot more than these other
29:33
guys who definitely have talent and and got some good stuff on tape. But
29:37
this guy has that leadership, that gamer, that grind that you know.
29:41
I just that I liked to be honest, Yeah, I mean yeah,
29:48
what are what are they dogging and Donsday for? I don't know about I
29:52
haven't I haven't heard much about him, you know. I was talking more
29:55
about the guys that are in the Bills wheelhouse. So ay, Mitchell,
29:57
I guess has diabetes and in addition to having diabetes. I guess that he
30:03
is not responsible about it, they say, And and I guess that he's
30:06
a little bit uncoachable. And I got into it with a couple of people
30:08
on Twitter this week. They were saying, oh, I don't want another
30:11
diva and this and that. I'm like, well, you know, can
30:12
we please stop using the word you know? And then you know, the
30:15
conversation goes left to what the case may be, But can we stop using
30:18
that phrase because just because he, you know, something comes out about it
30:22
doesn't make him a diva. And like we just used that term way too
30:25
loosely for me for my personal taste. But yeah, Adie Mitchell, I
30:29
guess is a little bit tough to coach. We've already heard that. I
30:32
guess. He even admitted at the comby that he does not run routes I
30:34
guess at one hundred percent throughout a drive. He says that he wants to
30:38
be able to sustain his energy throughout the drive. So because of that,
30:44
he is not going to burn himself out, so to speak. And I
30:48
don't know if that necessarily is something that sits well with, you know,
30:51
with with Dermott. You know, how he's I saw that both ways.
30:53
I saw the combat to that of people saying like he's got lazy tape,
30:59
he's got routes, but then yes, I guess specifically when he when the
31:03
ball's not coming to me, he was he won the route exactly, And
31:06
that's kind of how and they were saying Texas was kind of like that.
31:08
It was just it was such a quick pace offense. They were kind of
31:11
almost taught to like relax when it wasn't your play because we're gonna need you
31:15
to you know, explore the next player or whatever. But I don't know,
31:19
man, if to that point, it's it's the it's the big leagues,
31:22
it's the NFL. Man. If you're not running good routes, if
31:26
you're lazy out there, you're not gonna play, right. So yeah,
31:30
it's you know, it's not anything to worry about. But but him,
31:33
you know, if that's if that's truly, if you are doing that,
31:37
you're not gonna you're not gonna get on the field. So I'm not worried
31:38
about, you know, things of that nature of you know, of like
31:42
people not doing one thing or another because it's not like they're gonna be on
31:45
the field doing those things. Sure, if you're not doing them, you're
31:48
you're not on the field. All right, Well that's that's eighty Mitchell.
31:52
I guess he's got diabetes and he's not a good manager of it. And
31:53
then they're wondering if he's gonna be even more relax when he doesn't have people,
31:57
you know, hounting about it. Now, I could have swore the
32:00
Bills have nutritionists. I could have swore they've got people you know, in
32:04
the field house that are going to be taking care of those types of things
32:06
and helping him out to stay on top of that thing. So I don't
32:08
know, you know. Again, like you said, it cuts both ways,
32:12
Lad mcconacky, he's too little. I've heard that, you know a
32:15
lot. Now. I do see that he's a little bit smaller in stature.
32:17
And I'll give you that because he's white. You know, I instantly
32:21
think of it, but I'll think of Wes Welker. I'll think of Wayne
32:23
Gummett, you know what I mean. And that is not fair because some
32:27
people say that he's got feet like Antonio Brown, which is crazy because if
32:30
we can find an Antonio Brown, then I definitely want the Bills to sign
32:35
up for that, so I think it's a situation where it cuts. It
32:37
just cuts both ways. He's a little bit undersized. They said that he's
32:39
going to struggle against press man. You know, Xavier look at they say
32:44
they're talking shit about him. DT's saying that he's only he's a one hit
32:46
wonder. He had one good year at South Carolina last year. All of
32:50
his other tape was shitty, never really popped, and everybody's worried about his
32:53
production as he comes into his rookie year coming up. And he's older as
32:59
well, so that's another knock on him. Save you're worthy for me.
33:02
I know that he sometimes reminds me of a Roscoe Parish. But they say
33:06
that this guy is not just track speed. What did I always talk about?
33:08
I don't want just track speed, I want sustainable football speed. You
33:13
know, can you transfer that forty time over to the football field? And
33:16
they say some people say they say that he can, so we'll see Brian
33:21
Thomas junior. They say that he's twitchy, he's nice, but that he
33:23
might cost too much money. Just you know what Ricky was talking about in
33:25
our comment section before. I don't want to mortgage too too much. I
33:30
mean, if we've got to go up, you know, to you know,
33:31
ten picks, Okay, we've got to go fifteen picks just to get
33:35
a guy because the big three guys are gone, and now Brendan Bean's panicking
33:37
and he wants, you know, he's got to have Brian Thomas Junior and
33:40
he's first round, this year third rounder, and then next year's first.
33:45
Like, man, like, just just wait to sit back and wait,
33:47
you know, to the second round or something like that, or maybe even
33:50
trade back to get some more picks. So I think that there's something that
33:52
you can you can really poke holes in all these different guys. DT.
33:57
I think that I like Ady Mitchell the best, but I'll be honest,
34:00
like I'm I'm a prisoner of it as well. Some of the ship that's
34:02
been talked about is kind of scaring me off a little bit as well.
34:07
I do know him. The McConkie is a little bit too small for my
34:08
for my liking, but then you know the eight Antonio Brown comparison, and
34:14
I'm like, well, I would really love a guy like that. So
34:16
it's just interesting, DT. I don't think that there's any perfect prospect outside
34:20
of those top three I think that those guys are clearly the you know,
34:23
the cream of the crop, so to speak. And it's just it's just
34:27
a it's a crap shoot. DT. I'm nervous, man, it's a
34:30
crap shot. I'll ask you, Rob, would you would you rather?
34:34
And I'm not saying that I guarantee this is happening like in the draft.
34:37
So if people get, you know, upset, like, oh, that
34:39
will never happen. Just hear me out here. Would you rather have pick
34:45
Brian Thomas at twenty eight? At twenty eight? Oh that long? Or
34:52
trade back and get Lad McConkie and Xavier with gat you can get the bull.
35:00
I mean they probably wouldn't because if they trade back they probably draft another
35:02
position, right, But just figurative, straight up, would you rather have
35:07
Brian Thomas, who's probably the leader of that of this second second tier?
35:12
Would you rather have him at twenty eight or Exabriel Ga and Land mccackey two
35:16
or one? Oh? Man, I think that I want one. My
35:21
gut tells me to play the percentages a better hit rate if you've got two
35:23
guys to try from. But the fact that you said at twenty eight means
35:29
that something happened in the draft where we did not have to trade up,
35:30
and I love that scenario. I like Brian Thomas even enough to trade up.
35:35
Like I said, just not too much of draft capital spent. But
35:37
if we could say at twenty eight and grab him, it might be that
35:42
might be my pick. But oh, you got me on that one.
35:45
I think that I think that I would like to trade back to play the
35:47
percentages, better hit rate chance if I go ahead and get two. But
35:52
I heard that Brian Thomas is really special. I heard that he's won.
35:54
He's a freak athlete. So I'm down with that if we don't have to
35:57
trade up for him for whatever reason, the draft would feel that way.
36:00
I know we're getting ready to do our mock. I think I think I
36:02
would have to lead towards that because they say that he is He's truly a
36:06
special athlete. And I'm down with that. Now, as we transition and
36:12
before we start our mock and to close the show of DT, I have
36:16
a question because the wide receiver train brings this to light, and it's something
36:21
that I think that we should all be prepared for. It's a part of
36:24
the draft process. There's no way to know exactly what's going to happen.
36:28
How pissed are we going to be DT if we do not take a wide
36:30
receiver in round one. I think that I think that Bill's Maffie should be
36:37
prepared, not because I'm I'm thinking of it necessarily as the most likely scenario,
36:42
but one of the things that I noticed today when Brandon be talked about
36:45
it again, I think that it's more of him being gamesmanship and having some
36:49
gainser ship to him when he says that he's not it's not essential for Josh
36:52
Allen to have a wide receiver one. I think that that's mostly bus.
36:54
But I would not put it past McDermott to drafted defensive player in round one.
37:01
I just wouldn't. I somebody had mentioned O line, and I just
37:05
think that's out of the question. I think O line, safety, cornerback,
37:07
those are all they should all be ruled out for round one. I
37:10
do not think that those are realistic opportunities for the Bills in round one.
37:15
I think it's wide receiver, it's defensive end, it's defensive tackle, and
37:19
that's pretty much it for the first round. I wouldn't. I just wouldn't
37:22
put it past Sean McDermott. I know that he has influence in that room.
37:25
His voice does matter. DT How mad are we going to be if
37:30
it's not a wide receiver in round one? Because I think that I think
37:32
that there's a chance. I'm not trying to scare anybody. I just I
37:35
do think that there's a chance that it's not a wide receiver round one.
37:39
Definitely a chance. I think we're gonna be mad Man, Yeah, I
37:46
would be. I mean, I think because of the digs trade. The
37:52
digs trade heightened everything for me. I would I would not be acting like
37:54
this if both of them were not here. I think with Gabe Davis just
37:59
going to Jacksonville, I could deal with that. Yes, locker room guy,
38:02
you know all world in the locker room captain voted last year first time
38:07
great guy. But you know he's limited and we saw some of his limitations
38:09
with this route tree. The fact that you let him go and then you
38:13
trade stuff on the expat. It's like what, I don't know, man,
38:15
there's like a big neon sign hanging outside of one Bill's drive. That's
38:20
like we're taking wide receiver and I just I just don't know how how Brandon
38:23
bean skirts that I just don't know how it gets around it. And because
38:27
we're so heavy on the wide receiver train, really, I've never even looked
38:30
at anybody else, right, And in all these mock drafts, I literally
38:36
just blank out every other name, like when you're when you're reading them and
38:39
looking through them, it's like, okay, these quarterbacks and then receiver,
38:43
receiver and then some lineman, some into you know, I'm not even reading
38:46
the names of these gus, you know and so, And I think that's
38:51
majority of Nickel City. And the Bopy is doing the same thing. Granted,
38:54
I hope one Bill's drive is it. I mean they're doing their researching,
38:59
you know, and getting everybody on board. But it's it's interesting because
39:01
I haven't even thought of as an option, but like you said, it
39:06
is a real option. Is until last year, up until last year,
39:09
it was all defensive guys, and there are holes defensively to fill. But
39:14
again you get to that math, all right, is twenty eight. You
39:16
know, like you make the argument why you shouldn't take a defensive player at
39:20
twenty eight because it's like, is it really gonna be a game changer at
39:22
twenty eight? You might as well get it, but that you're doing the
39:24
same argument to take a receiver to be a game changer at twenty eight.
39:28
Right. So it's tick for tad and an interesting concept. But I haven't
39:31
even thought or looked or no anybody other than receivers. And I know they've
39:37
probably majority of the mafia you know, is right behind us with that.
39:40
So people would be mad just for I think the shock value as well as
39:45
the uneducated value of who is this guy you know as opposed to all these
39:52
receivers, you know? But I don't know, man, it is possible,
39:55
but I don't know. I don't think they're gonna do it. I
39:59
think they're gonna hit receiver. They're gonna stay with receiver. It's it's a
40:01
need, It's a big it's the biggest need. Yeah, I think that
40:06
it's the biggest need in addition to the you know, not just Stephan Digg's
40:09
trade, but I think that it was the need before that. I think
40:12
that they have been passing on drafting one high long enough. I understand again,
40:17
Dalton Kinade. Last year I had explained that I thought that that was
40:20
more a matter of circumstance than anything else, and I just don't know if
40:24
you can afford to neglect it again. Now that now, neglecting it doesn't
40:30
mean that you you draft the defensive tackle or defensive end the first round and
40:32
then you grab one in the second round. That's that's fine, And I'll
40:36
you know, that's you know, we'll get we'll get over it. You
40:37
know, they'll come into Friday morning shows a WGR and everybody will be freaking
40:42
out, and you know they'll but they'll be looking right at the TV for
40:45
Draft night on Friday, round two and hoping that we go ahead and get
40:49
a wide receiver in the second round as well, and and everybody's watching the
40:51
board, So I get how that goes. I'm just more concerned along the
40:54
fact that I understand that it was gamesmanship. I understand that, you know,
41:00
maybe they don't necessarily believe it, but if they do believe it,
41:04
that is some of my worst fears, and we had talked about that when
41:07
we dissected the Stefan Digs thing and last week with Mama Mondy and and Justice
41:10
General DT is that I don't want them to think that they don't need weapons
41:15
around Josh, or that they don't need the most weapons or the best weapons
41:19
possible. I think that that would be foolish of the Bills to do.
41:22
And again, I'm giving credence to the fact, and I'm giving leeway to
41:27
the fact that maybe he was just you know, pulling a little bit of
41:30
the games the ship to make sure that he keeps his cards close to his
41:32
vessel. He he you know, he keeps his leverage for next week.
41:36
But if they really do believe that a wide receiver one is not essential,
41:39
and I think they heard some you know mcdermay talking about spreading the ball around.
41:43
There's value in spreading the ball around. You know what else has value?
41:45
There's value in having the stud receiver that the entire defensive staff is staying
41:51
up all night the night before trying to devise a game plan. And then
41:53
he's got more attention. We talked about it already. Why did Gabe Davis
41:57
have that crazy game in thirteen seconds? He had that crazy game because of
42:01
the fact that they were paying so much attention and they were so deathly afraid
42:06
of Stefan Diggs cooking them that they actually, you know, they a lot
42:09
of too many resources to Stefan Diggs. And then that obviously allowed Gabe to
42:14
be on some one on one matchups and he won his matchups that day and
42:16
cook those guys. So I just I think that they're walking a fine line
42:21
if they really believe it. Again, I don't believe that they really do.
42:23
But sometimes you know, you have to just sit back and like,
42:27
uh, you know, when I heard him say that shit today, I
42:29
was like, Okay, he's fucking around, like he's just messing with me
42:31
like that. He doesn't really believe that. And I do think that Brandon
42:34
Bean's a great GM. I think he's very smart. I think he's very
42:37
savvy. I just don't want them to get DT caught up in Josh.
42:40
He's on the cover of MAT and Josh, he's got it. He's got
42:43
it. He's you know, he's more mature now, and all this other
42:45
stuff surround him with weapons, keep it make his job easier, don't Why
42:50
do we want to make his job harder? And I think that if you
42:52
come into the season with you know, Curtis, Samuel mac Hollins, Dalton
42:59
kin Ka, Khalil Shakir, Dawson Knox and then insert round two pick or
43:04
round three pick, I think that I think that you're you're you're facing an
43:07
uphill bad Not that you can't be a successful offense or that you can't,
43:12
you know, put points on the board, but I just think that you
43:14
might be a different formula. Maybe you're running the ball war. I don't.
43:15
I'm not interested in running the ball war. I'm not interested in any
43:19
of that type of stuff. So I think that you should keep it potent.
43:22
When will we most deadly? When we we? You know, everybody
43:24
the most afraid of us was, you know, a couple of years ago
43:27
when we were that high powered offense and we had stuff, and we had
43:30
you know, Emmanuel Sanders and John you know, we had all of the
43:32
Kolbe's, We had all of these weapons for Josh to throw to, and
43:36
we were just a problem for everybody to deal with. Yeah, I mean
43:39
the matchup you said, who's afraid? Right? When we go? When
43:44
I'm looking at who we're playing every week, it's always my My fear is
43:49
never the defense, it's never spreading the ball around on offense. My fear
43:52
is all We got Tyreek Hill and Jalen Model this week. How are we
43:55
going to cover them? Oh? We got t Higgins and Jamar Chase this
43:59
week. How are we gonna to cover them? You know? And the
44:00
list is endless. There's stub receivers all over the league with good quarterbacks.
44:04
I mean, Kansas City is the one exception, but everywhere else the good
44:08
teams have stud receivers and good quarterbacks. And yeah, that's exactly we're we're
44:14
game planning as fans. We're worried about their receiving corps. You know,
44:17
we're worried about them them cooking us on receivers. And like you said it
44:22
best a couple of years ago when we were the scariest, it's because we
44:24
could start up with capable stud wide receivers. So you got to get back
44:30
there. Yeah, it'll be interesting now as we begin to wrap up tonight
44:36
the first ever Nickel City Crew mock draft again. DT and I are more
44:40
novices on this whole thing, but I'm definitely interested in doing it. You
44:45
know, shout out again. Just just got ready to hook us up with
44:47
the website. I think it's Draft Buzz NFL Draft Buzz, and we're gonna
44:52
we're gonna get to it. DT. Now, I've got it on set
44:55
on rapid. I've got the randomness set where it's down, so you know,
44:59
we shouldn't see any the crazy trades are on DT and I'm gonna hit
45:01
this start button. I wish I had the screen share. These guys had
45:05
screen share, and I'm trying to figure out how to do that. But
45:07
we'll we'll get on all that type of stuff in the future. DT first
45:10
round starts and it you know, as we thought, Caleb Williams is the
45:15
first pick off the board and it's just going through right now DT. Drake
45:21
May has slid a little bit, Michael Pennix goes to the Jets, so
45:25
there is a little bit of randomness in there. And you know, obviously,
45:29
you know, we can't you know, necessarily pick the guys and worthy
45:32
exactly we want them to go unless we take control of every team. But
45:35
we're coming up on the Bills pick, and I'm going to reivers. I
45:42
literally, I literally am going there right now to let you know the available
45:45
prospects now for the Bills at receiver. Ady Mitchell is there. Okay,
45:52
let's see here. We just got a trade offer for Josh Reynolds from the
45:55
Broncos. We're going to reject that one. Adie Mitchell is here. Troy
46:00
Franklin's here, your guy, Lad McConkie's here, Uh, Xavier leg get
46:04
Keon Coleman, and then we start to get down Roman Wilson and then xavier'
46:07
worthy. So I don't know what happened in this particular simulation. We're gonna
46:10
do it again a second time since it went so fast as well, we
46:15
got everybody. So the Dooms they went actually Washington picked Washington picked Marvin Harrison
46:24
Junr. Which doesn't make any sense, but they did. And then Doones
46:29
they went to Chicago at nine to pair up with Caleb Williams. So we
46:31
have pretty much the pick of the little d t Ady Mitchell, who we
46:35
talked about, Ladd McConkie, we talked about leget, we talked about xavier'
46:40
worthy. They're all here. Ricky Pearsow, who I heard some really good
46:43
things. I love him. In round two, if we can you know
46:45
double dip fil receiver who would when yes, when let's see here, Brian
46:54
Thomas Junior went right before us, yeap here before ust to Arizona. Wow.
47:04
So I feel like I feel like, if that's real reality, the
47:07
Bills move up to twenty five and get him right, Okay, that's what
47:09
you would expect man in this, in this if they love him, yeah,
47:15
you've got to pick the little though. You got to pick up all
47:17
the guys that you you talked about, that we talked about. I'm saying,
47:21
Exavierly get wow, what do you like about him? We're going to
47:24
draft size okay, Mike Evans with speed okay? And now does it bother
47:32
you? That? Does it bother you that he's only that he's the you
47:36
know, the one hit wonder so to speak, that he's only had had
47:39
some mid he had some mid quarterbacks to last year he got Spencer Rattler,
47:43
who you know, you can chuck it, and you know, and that
47:46
is we got one seven who could chuck it. So, you know,
47:51
I like place in the SEC. I like the SEC transition, you know,
47:55
going up against a lot of NFL corners all year and they and the
47:59
S and be in South Carolina, the down team in that league gets you
48:05
know, but Adie Mitchell is probably the top guy in there. But I
48:08
do like Xavier Legat. What do you say? I don't. I don't
48:12
like Legette just because of the one year wonder thing makes me think of Aaron
48:17
Maven and then I get nervous about that type of stuff. I understand that
48:21
it's not fair to compare prospects like that across the years. And then I
48:24
also get a little bit nervous because of that. He's so much older.
48:29
So because of that, you know, if you're really nice, then you
48:30
would probably be out. I understand that that's changing now, it's going to
48:34
be changing in the future because of Nio. But back when he was starting,
48:37
it was there was no nil. So if you were so good,
48:39
why weren't you already coming out? He seems to be one of those super
48:44
seniors, kind of like bot Knicks. Bo Nicks has been to college for
48:45
whatever. He's got the most starts of anybody ever in college football history.
48:50
So sometimes that scares me because it just makes me think that there was something
48:53
that was lacking. If you were staying in school so long, I would
48:58
probably pick you know, I probably pick Ady Mitchell, and then I would
49:01
just fight with everybody, you know what I mean? Now, now worthy
49:05
is worthy? Is is worthy? So to speak? I think that he
49:08
is worthy. I've heard enough people tell me that it's not just track speed.
49:13
I'm just worried about the fact that, like I said, anytime I
49:15
see him, I do think of Roscoe Parrish. I think of a more
49:17
of a gadget guy, somebody that's not necessarily going to hold up because he's
49:22
so small. And then that scares me because I'm just not I'm not really
49:25
interested in anybody that's small, that's niche. We already saw how they treated
49:30
Deontay Hardy, we saw how they couldn't figure out how to use Mackenzie,
49:34
and the list kind of goes on. We haven't had really a true speedsterre
49:37
since John Brown that was successful for the team. I mean even Robert Foster
49:40
when he first got here was doing really nothing for Josh Allen. I know
49:44
it was younger in Josh's career, so that's not always apples to apples,
49:47
but I sometimes just get even. That's really why I don't like lead mcgonky,
49:52
to be honest, he's just small. That's what I was just gonna
49:53
says. We got Andy Isabella, we got you know now to Samuel and
50:00
Khalil Shakir kind of filling that slotty gadgety role. And like you said,
50:05
that's a good point, Isaama, Mackenzie, Deontay Hardy, they could never
50:07
make it work with that little gadget guy, So why why go get another
50:12
one? Yeah? I like I like Adie Mitchell. I like Adie Mitchell
50:15
too. I'd say emrderly get or might would be my top two in that
50:20
in this situation. All right, now I've done the draft again. Here
50:23
again check out NFL draft buzz dot com. It's a cool little site.
50:28
Again. Shout out to Scott Reid who gave it to us. I turned
50:30
the randomness down DT. Okay, so this is more like what you can
50:35
expect to see on next week Thursday. Because quarterbacks went one, two three,
50:38
We're almost on the clock, and this is a trade. This is
50:43
a we can we just got offered to trade back, we would get an
50:46
extra third rounder this year, two extra third rounder, extra third rounder,
50:51
I'm sorry, an extra fourth rounder next year's first round pick, and a
50:57
fifth round pick. Wow with trade back with with Baltimore's Well, Baltimore really
51:02
wants, Yeah, Baltimore really wants trade uh pick number twenty eight. Now
51:07
we'll reject it right now, just for for the cause of the show,
51:10
just so you know where everybody went. Quarterbacks one, two three In this
51:15
particular scenario, Drake May pulls off the chakra of all time. Chicago fooled
51:20
us. All they took. They took Drake May into the Kayleb Williams,
51:22
he goes to Washington, and then Jadie Daniels goes to the Patriots. Barvin
51:28
Harrison goes to to Arizona at four Milik Neighbors right after him to the Chargers,
51:34
Roamadonze right after to the Giants. So this is kind of more of
51:37
a along the lines of an actual draft that you would see. And let's
51:44
see the wide receivers available, same thing, Ady Mitchell, Lad McConkie,
51:50
Xavier Legette, Xavier Worthy all still on the board. So I think that
51:53
Bill's mafia Nicol City crew. I think that you I don't know. I
51:58
just I don't know. I want to tell you that we're going to have
52:00
a chance to get our guy regardless if we still sit back. I just
52:05
know that the the tendencies of our GM is not to just sit back.
52:08
I just I just know that that's one of his major m os is just
52:13
to go up and get his guy. So I would the best defensive player,
52:16
who's the best defensive player available, Let's see this one. It was
52:22
for some reason chopped. Yeah, chop Robinson. And he's been he's been.
52:27
Listen to you say, he's been bocked to the Bills before at that
52:32
position. Again, a really twitchy guy. They they they actually compare him
52:37
to a von Miller, a young Von Miller out of Texas. A and
52:38
m just kind of twitch you off the edge, got that bend and gets
52:43
to the quarterback. So it'll be interesting to see. DT. This is
52:45
fun. I mean, I have not been a draft guy. Austin Johnson,
52:49
Austin Johnson and jo Robinson. Yeah, don't we have enough line stuff,
52:59
you know, don't we have enough what's it called it scars from that
53:00
whole thing, like I talked about with Maven. So we'll see. It's
53:05
fun. It's fun, DT. This time of year is fun. Keep
53:07
in mind Bill's Mafia, keep in mind Nicol City crew. That again,
53:10
even the experts, even your mcshay's and your Kuiper's, none of these guys
53:16
know what these guys are going to be. So just keep that in the
53:19
back of your mind. You are as apt to know exactly some of these
53:22
guys that are going to be and things like that as anybody else. And
53:27
the silly mocks that we just did. You know, we have an opportunity
53:30
to find out what's going to happen, but we don't know what these prospects
53:32
are going to be. So just keep that in the back of your mind
53:35
before you go crazy. Yes, lad McCaughey can get picked by the Bills,
53:38
and I will yell because he's small and he may turn out to be
53:42
twinkle toes and just like Antonio Brown, and then I'll just be the first
53:45
one as happy as hell about it. Same thing with Worthy and Loguette and
53:49
ad Mitchell, all those guys. So I just want to keep that in
53:52
perspective for everyone that we don't know. So because we don't know, just
53:54
give these guys some grace, Let them come in, learn the playbook,
53:58
let them get acclimated to being a profession football player, and and then we'll
54:01
just go with as long as their bills. Man, you know that we're
54:04
gonna back them. You know that we're gonna be behind them. We're gonna
54:06
wish them all the best. But a lot of young men's lives are gonna
54:08
change next week DT and I I for one, that's the probably the number
54:12
one thing I love about the draft is just the fact that their teams are
54:15
realized. All that hard work pays off finally, and and it's something that
54:19
you can really wrap your arms brout. Yeah, I love it. It's
54:24
a This is the most intense draft and in recent memory. So lock in
54:30
the next week. I'm gonna I'm gonna put the blinders up. You know,
54:34
I'm not gonna listen to much. And because the what you thought two
54:37
weeks ago, there's gonna be something that makes you think different, you know
54:39
now. And you know, I haven't done extensive research by any means,
54:45
but I like the research I've done. I like who I like, and
54:47
I'm gonna kind of, you know, keep it quiet. Watch we got
54:51
good NHL and NBA playoffs starting next week. To keep your mind off until
54:55
until we get on the clock. All right, sounds good to be U
55:00
again. Man out there, spread love not hate. These are what my
55:01
bills thoughts said out loud. We will skip next week. Please enjoy the
55:05
draft again from Motown Live for Motown next week, I think around seven o'clock
55:08
or so, the festivities kick off. You got the red carpet, you
55:13
got all the guys swagged up. They'll have their jewelry on, they'll have
55:15
the suits on. Everybody's gonna be hugging goodel like he's their long lost brother,
55:20
and everybody's gonna have a good time. Families will be out there as
55:22
well, and a lot of these guys will have an opportunity to really realize
55:25
their dream. First round next week Thursday, and then round two and three
55:30
I think Friday, and then the rest of the draft is on Saturday.
55:32
So enjoy the draft. Bills that picked twenty eight for now, please out
55:38
there, spread love, not hate, Hit him with it, Go Bills,
55:42

55:59

could have imagined to start. This is still the off season, the season
56:05
