Jacksonville's perfect record on the line right here, quick kicking, look excited.
0:31
Touchdown Kyle Williams touchdound amazing, unbelievable. They puttied william Who's hats to full
0:55
back and he scores a touchdown. It's wealthier to face tackle. Good evening
1:19
and welcome to the cover one day three instant reaction spectacular. You are joining
1:25
your host, Greg Tomsa along with my favorite Muggle, mud blood wizard,
1:32
favorite person here for very very very merry Draftsmiss Anthony Prohaska. Anthony, how
1:38
are we doing? I'm good. You're too kind with your labeling me of
1:42
all those things. I'm doing good. It's almost a little sad, Like
1:45
I literally feel like Christmas time, Like you get so excited for that holiday
1:48
to come, and then like at the end of the Christmas day you're just
1:49
like, oh, it's kind of over. And that's why I feel right
1:53
now for the draft I'm excited to kind of breathe a little bit over these
1:57
next coming weeks. But yeah, man, what all what an eventful time,
2:00
Like I feel like the draft is event fly every year. But just
2:02
the moves we saw on night one, what we saw on day two,
2:05
and then bringing it home here on day three with some moves that are good,
2:09
but they also didn't do some things that people wanted. It's a very
2:12
interesting board that fell to them, but also the decisions that they made in
2:15
the process. Yeah, so we'll go through I think just we'll start with
2:20
some high level thoughts. You know, I said there's gonna be one that
2:24
I'm going to echo that plenty people along with us are going to echo,
2:29
which is they did not double dip at receiver. They had opportunities, They
2:34
had guys that both of us really liked. Lake Washington went really late.
2:38
We just talked pre show. Brendan Rice went undrafted. So by the way,
2:42
chat this time. I'll give you two names. Shout out to our
2:46
guy Ryan Talbot and his cousin Damon Talbot, who runs NFL Draft Diamonds.
2:51
Yeah, they two top resources for UDFA scramble time post draft. So everybody
2:59
keep a eye on your feed and for those guys, let us know in
3:01
the chat if you see some names dropping of guys who are going to be
3:05
signed and added as udfas, let us know. I know I saw your
3:10
guy, Ryan Florinoy. I saw that comment here in the almost there.
3:15
It was so so close. I really think if he was there, he
3:19
would have been the pick, like I believe, with them bringing him in
3:22
and then still needing a double dip like, I really think he would have
3:24
been the pick. They obviously, so I'm gonna start from a high level
3:29
standpoint. They hit. Besides the double dip, they hit every position I
3:32
wanted, Like what we listed off yesterday, I started rattling off. I
3:37
want to fick running back. I want to into your lineman, either a
3:39
center or a guard. I think they got both. I want a special
3:43
teams linebacker. I want to back up Nickel. I want somebody who with
3:46
some return ability. I want like a tall, crazy, long arm tackle.
3:51
They checked all those boxes. They got me all the I wanted a
3:53
defensive defensive tackle and a defensive end. So names aside which will get into
4:00
the names, they check the boxes. I wouldn't have hated a second safety
4:02
I wouldn't have hated a second wide receiver, but they got me the positions
4:06
I wanted, and I don't think six and seventh round a side. Those
4:11
guys don't have a high probability of making rosters as it is all the other
4:15
ones. They didn't pick any spots where it's like, oh man, how's
4:17
that guy even going to make the team? They why did we take another
4:20
tight end? Why do we take a you know, the positions where like
4:24
hey, I don't know, like you look at corner, like, hey,
4:27
the best shot to make corner is we've been wanting a backup for Terren
4:30
Johnson, who's a legit nickel. Well, the best way for that guy
4:33
to make the team is if you're a really good pub returner. So that's
4:36
you know, a solid shot, Like hey, that's a higher probability of
4:41
making a roster. We have some big, thick defensive ends that are good
4:46
stout, strong guys. Maybe we can use more of a like pass rush
4:51
only you know, burst juicy guy that maybe isn't going to play seventy percent
4:56
of STAPs. Ever, he's never going to be that guy, but maybe
4:58
can play that other role. So I respect the approach and the type of
5:03
fits that they had you. So before we get into the specific names,
5:06
how were you on how the how the rest of the class came together.
5:11
I had some qualms also real quick. Brendan Rice finally got taken in the
5:15
seventh by the chargers, So good for him. Okay, ended up did
5:17
get drapped to shout out to you can't believe that he went that late,
5:21
but you know, good for him. I'm fine. And again I feel
5:26
like I keep saying that, and it's I don't mean it like negatively or
5:29
like the dog that's sipping the mug or has the mug genuinely fine, like
5:33
yes, not you are whelmed. That is whelmed, not overwhelmed. You're
5:39
not underwhelmed. There were some name this good, this is good, Yeah,
5:43
exactly, and there were some they kind of as we get into the
5:46
specifics of day three, some guys that they took to in particular that I
5:49
thought the value was good and I really liked the picks, And then there
5:53
were some others that I just wanted to take a couple other boxes, like
5:57
I would have loved to take Chris Abrams strain and have that backup slot and
6:01
backup outside corner potential in one player who I really like and think highly of.
6:06
But again then later they ended up getting that potential nickel with some returnability.
6:11
We'll see what happens. There were specific spots where I would have liked
6:14
them to push into another direction or look into another player based on how the
6:19
board fell, based on the needs, and like you said, like I
6:23
think a double dip at receiver, especially with how the board fell, I
6:26
really just thought they were going to get one, especially as Malik Washington kept
6:30
falling Jamarty Thrash there for a real while. Even somebody like Johnny Wilson,
6:33
I was like, oh, maybe the value is there for him and they'll
6:35
just take like a dart throw. But with all the board came together,
6:39
I don't think we can be too critical. And like you said, like
6:43
the back end of day three, guys are usually guys that are more project
6:47
and you're getting this camp bodies. You'll kind of see what happened. But
6:50
you know, I think in the fifth round and the fourth round, there
6:54
are some names that have a real shot to make this team and play some
6:57
impact snaps, and they may not have been the specific player or at the
7:00
specific position I wanted at that time. But I think overall, they like,
7:04
like you said, they ticked a lot of boxes, and I think
7:06
kind of, you know, achieved the objective of the mission when it came
7:11
to the draft in terms kind of filling out this whole roster with what they
7:14
needed. Yeah, that that window where the guy I'm not even going to
7:18
be mad because the window where I would have wanted it was in that fifth
7:24
range and the two spots where it would have made the most sense, or
7:27
probably the two best values that we got. Where one of them is we
7:31
got Chicago's twenty twenty five fourth. Yeah, her trading out of one of
7:35
our four to fifth rounders. Well, that's probably like, at worst than
7:39
average fourth round pick, So you're talking about probably like a top one hundred
7:45
and fifteen pick. Now I have to root against it. Now, I
7:47
have to root against the bear. So I want that fourth I've not too
7:50
much. I'm going to be heavily invested in Kleb Williams and Dynasty, so
7:55
I probably won't be able to do that. I like the thing, my
7:57
I really want to see it too, because I'm I love like like Trent
8:00
and things, and I tweeted it when he first got picked, like it
8:03
was some gift of like guys painting each other's nails, And I was like,
8:05
if Caleb Williams balls out, this is gonna be every dude in Chicago
8:09
and I want to see that. So my boss is like it has been
8:13
very concerned with whether Caleb Williams is gonna work and like will that translate in
8:18
a NFL locker room? And like is he the kind of guy that's going
8:20
to galvanize a room and be a leader? And I said, listen,
8:24
if he's lighting stuff on fire for the first time in Chicago history, like
8:28
at Halloween, every polish guy in Chicago is going to be wearing a having
8:31
a pink phone case and painting his nails like they're gonna be on board so
8:35
fast, Like if he starts chucking the rock around, thing's gonna be fine.
8:39
Everybody's gonna all of a sudden, everybody's gonna be real open minded about
8:43
what Every every makeup store is sold out a nail polish for Christmas because every
8:48
kid, boy and girl wants it because they want to be like Caleb Williams.
8:50
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. So one the trade down,
8:54
I can't be mad that's a great value. You got like a mid fifth
8:58
round pick to get Chicago fourth rounder. That's a nice that's a nice value.
9:01
You cannot turn that down. And then you know, we'll get to
9:05
it when we go through the names. My favorite value they got out of
9:07
all the picks today was Javon Solomon, the edge rusher out of Troy.
9:11
So I can't be mad that, Like, hey, at a premium position
9:16
a guy that I that dude's making this roster. I'm telling you, like,
9:18
that guy's going to make this roster as a rotational edge rusher. You
9:22
know that. The fact that we got the guy he had the most sacks
9:26
in college football the last three year, Like that's real production, not like
9:30
projected stuff of like, hey, I wonder if he can do it,
9:33
like thirty two sacks in the last three years in obviously fewer games than in
9:37
in the pros. I'm very happy with that pick. So let's dive right
9:43
in the one. The first pick was one that we all joked. Everybody
9:48
immediately was sending condolences to our guy, Chris Kepner. He has been pounding
9:54
the table for Audric estimate for months now. I have been very open I
9:58
keep saying three names over and over again. I said, just give me
10:01
late, fourth, early, fifth, whoever's still there out of audric estimate,
10:05
Braylan Allen and Ray Davis. Give me a thick, complimentary back,
10:09
who's still available cheap. I even went at it with a couple of people
10:13
on Twitter today. Just a quick reminder, Uh, we shouldn't invest premium
10:20
picks and running backs. You can debate what premium means, but a lot
10:22
of people go to we should just keep churning veteran street free agents. And
10:28
I want to remind people the veteran minimum is more money than a day three
10:33
pick. So locking in a running back to four years of cost control day
10:39
three picks is cheaper than the Latavious Murray's and the Leonard Fournettes of the world.
10:45
Like, this saves money. And if he's good, you have four
10:48
years. And so people were frustrated with Ray Davis's age. I don't care.
10:52
I don't ever want to sign a second contract. Ever, he's gonna
10:56
be one content, Give me the four years he's here for cheap and move
11:00
on. He checked all the boxes for me. He's thick, he gets
11:03
you know, he's he still has a little bit of wiggle. He has
11:05
a lot of Devin Singletary to his game. Like that isn't gonna be like
11:09
some crazy home run hitter, but you see like those little things that like
11:15
Motor would do where he would just give that little tiny lean but not really
11:20
slow down, but it was enough to get the defender to like commit to
11:22
one. He's got weight on one side, like make a make a dude
11:26
missing a phone booth type stuff. Yeah, yeah, it's He's not he's
11:30
a home run hitter. No, he's kind of like a combo of Zach
11:33
Moss and Devin Singletary, Yes, which he was so yeah, So again
11:39
it's a fourth thron it's a late fourth round pick. We're not talking about
11:41
we didn't like stumble upon Barry Sanders here, but settle down. But let
11:45
the folks know what was you Well, so real funny comp is Barry Sanders
11:52
obviously very clearly when you go back a little bit like this is the guy
11:58
who scored twenty one touchdowns in the SEC. Like this is legit, real
12:03
production right here. I don't know if I'm ready for muscle hamster vibes,
12:07
but I respect Charles throwing out Doug Martin. I respect that as one.
12:13
Let the folks know what your thoughts are. This is a guy who had
12:16
a Heisman campaign, had incredible production. Again, I don't think he's like
12:20
the most elite athlete, but he's also not like people then turn that into
12:24
he's a bad athlete. No, now to go watch this two highlights like
12:28
this, dude, Like think about when people think of Devin Singletary was not
12:31
a bad athlete. He did not have home run speed, but Devn's Singletary
12:35
made people miss so often that he had tons of fifteen and twenty yard runs.
12:39
Would have been cool if some of those could have been sixty yard runs,
12:41
sure, but I'll take fifteen twenty yard runs. That's Ray Davis.
12:46
Ray Davis can make people miss enough and knock people over enough to get fifteen
12:50
twenty yard runs. And he had a freaking mountain of them making tie yes.
12:54
And what's nice about him? He really came in that group of I
12:56
didn't know how the running backs are going to fall and where running back has
13:00
become one of these weird positions where like I never know, like is somebody
13:03
gonna take one on day two? And where like is everybody wait until the
13:07
fourth round, where like everybody's got different flavors that they like. I would
13:11
have been very happy with any running back in the fourth or fifth that I
13:15
really that came in like a large cluster like the Marshawn, Lloyd, brayln
13:18
Allen, audrec May, Bucky Irving, Ray Davis, will Shipley, Tyrone
13:22
Tracy, like any of these dudes, I would have been like happy with.
13:26
And what I like about Ray Davis And tweet for those who want to
13:30
see some stuff on if you go to Twitter, type in my handle pro
13:33
underscore underscore aunt Ray Davis. I put out like maybe ten or eleven clips
13:37
in succession, kind of showing some things that he can do. What's nice
13:41
about him is he is that complimentary piece to cook. Like you said,
13:43
like thicker a little bigger, has power and toughness to his game, but
13:48
he also can succeed in a lot of other areas, like his ability to
13:52
leak out of the backfield on screens and just in terms of releasing out and
13:56
being cubrely friendly like sitting over the ball or kind of swinging out. He's
14:00
got a really good feel for space and for that timing and then when he's
14:03
out in space. He does a good job of making dudes miss. That's
14:05
where your Devin Singletary piece comes in. He's got a couple runs where he's
14:09
legitimately branking dude's ankles like it. There's one against Florida. It like hurts
14:15
five point seven yards per carry in the SEC. Is legit No, those
14:20
that's all NFL defenders, Yes, absolutely, And there's I mean he's like
14:22
housing like thirty yard screen passes against Georgia and like making dudes miss and shaking
14:28
guys and you know again, he's got a couple. He's got one where
14:30
he just leaks out of the backfield against Florida, like inside the ten and
14:33
he shakes an edge and he shakes the linebacker and then puts his shoulder down
14:37
and goes through the corner and kind of carries him like into the pylon for
14:41
a touchdown. What's nice about him is he's the compliment to Cook. But
14:46
like Latavius, Murray had a certain skill set that was more niche and more
14:52
pointed. And I think Ty Johnson's a little more like well rounded. Yeah,
14:54
but Ray Davis, Yeah, And I think Davis is kind of in
14:58
that, Like Davis is more of the hammer, but you can have him
15:01
in on third downs and he's not the best pass protector, but he's willing
15:05
and he's functional. And then you add that with his receiving ability, Like
15:09
he's got the ability. Oh nice, I wanted Chris Rodriguez from you from
15:11
Kentucky last year. Davis has similar quality qualities, but it's more elusive and
15:15
a great pass cutcher. Yeah, Rodriguez was even bigger, little thicker,
15:20
a little taller little thicker. Yeah, he's Davis is like running rail routes
15:24
out of the backfield in the red zone and catching touchdowns in the corner,
15:28
like he does a little bit of everything. He's got really sharp, like
15:33
precise cuts. And for a dude that's you know, two hundred eleven pounds
15:37
five foot eight, that's short and stocky, the way he cuts he got
15:41
he had won that. I posted today that it was just beautiful. He
15:46
there's some trash on the ground as he's running through the hole. He leaps
15:48
over it and as he touches the ground, he makes a cut, shakes
15:52
the safety and takes off and it was just the precision and the burst in
15:58
that cut was really fun. And you know, I think that's receiving touchdowns
16:02
is wild. And again he's runns pretty crazy receiving touch it's between the rail
16:07
routes. And he's really good on screens. I know the Bill suck on
16:11
screens, but he's a really good screen runner. He's got a good feel
16:15
for it. The Michaels inside jokes some day screen part of one someday we'd
16:23
love it, and it's ironic. See he is like, yeah, he's
16:27
just got a good feel for it. He understands the tempo and the pacing
16:30
of releasing out of the backfield. Again, whether by design on screens or
16:34
like leaking out because no one's rushing and he can just be an extra receiver
16:37
in the route distribution or running actual routes like again rail routes out of the
16:41
backfield and stuff. So he's a nice compliment, even though you know he's
16:45
got He runs a four five forty, so again he's not a burner,
16:48
but he will crack some runs off, like he housed a seventy five yarder
16:52
against Florida this year. That's real. Pretty like he's I think he's very
16:56
much in that singletary mold of he's above average at almost everything. Like he's
17:02
not gonna I don't think he's ever gonna be an all pro, but I
17:04
think he's gonna be an effective running back. That's funny from Frank. I
17:07
think he's going to be an effective running back given his skill set and the
17:10
way it can be moved into different areas. And just yes, some of
17:12
the some of the cuts and the receiving ability are just something you don't expect
17:18
from a five to eleven or five eight two hundred and eleven pounds back that's
17:22
you know, known for like power and toughness and shortness and muscularity. Yeah,
17:26
so you know, I don't I don't think we stumbled upon a franchise
17:30
back here. But I think he's a nice NFL running back. I think
17:33
he's the guy that you know, he's certainly not young, has played his
17:40
time here. But again, I'm not interested in second contracts for running back,
17:44
So I honestly I don't care about running back age. He's been healthy,
17:48
he's played, and he's now going to come in immediately ready to contribute.
17:51
We get the four years of this deal and then we'll wish him will
17:53
just like everybody else. And to that point too, say you don't resign
17:56
James Cook. You have Davis who's given you this high floor of baseline skills,
18:02
and now you can pick a guy to either you know, you surp
18:04
him or play in tandem with him, given his skill set and what he
18:08
presents. And he can also function, you know, he can function in
18:11
zone runs, he can function in gap so I think he fits well with
18:14
this Bills run scheme which hits a variety of gap and zone runs. So
18:18
he fits. And yeah, so similar to that point, like we're talking
18:22
about it with Davis. But if you know James Cook is up in two
18:25
years, if they don't want to resign him, you've got this solid baseline
18:27
with Davis that allows him to maybe be the one or again kind of dip
18:32
in a little you know, deeper water and go ahead of him and still
18:34
play complimentary. Gives you some good options. Yeah, and for any with
18:37
Jeffrey here commenting, and if anybody hasn't seen it, like you're talking about
18:41
overcoming adversary, This dude has had a very very rough life, has overcome
18:45
a lot, I believe, you know, suffered from homelessness. You know,
18:49
it's in his childhood in San Francisco. I believe I understand right,
18:53
I'm excited. I don't know enough about it to speak on it beyond what
18:56
I just said. I'm excited to learn more about what he's overcome to be
19:02
able to get to the position needs. And now he became like he became
19:04
a really rounded which is nuts to see, like him, go you like
19:10
that's you're you got some stuff and you're already a ward of the State at
19:14
age eight, and now here you are in the NFL, like you know,
19:15
like dude understands what sacrifice and grinding is all about. And yeah,
19:18
say it's a cool thing. Yeah, excited to learn more about that as
19:22
we go here. The next pick, they came up in the fifth ron
19:26
again one of the spots that you and I talked about here that we had
19:29
didn't touched on in the first three days, where they opened up wide receiver,
19:33
safety, defensive tackle, all spots we wanted, but we were looking
19:36
to see, hey, are we going to be able to get into this
19:38
interior offensive line area. And similarly, as I was kind of monitoring where
19:44
the board was, what kind of picks were moving, there was a name
19:48
sticking out that I was like, hey, you know, this is someone
19:49
I've seen some sharp people really talk about especially at center that you know,
19:55
Christian Mahogany if they wanted to bring into guard was out there, and Cedric
19:59
Van Prant and having the guy that started, you know, the last forty
20:03
four straight games at Georgia in the SEC against the best defensive lineman in the
20:07
world. You know that that is the top NFL training ground. When you're
20:12
an SEC starting interior offensive lineman, you are going up against the top defensive
20:18
tackles in college football. So a guy that started forty four straight of those
20:22
games, centric band brand come in in not enormous, but big for a
20:26
center six four, three fifteen. A guy that you know came across well
20:30
healthy, played you know, virtually ever game once he got the starting position
20:36
going through and then won like you know, every he was. His awards
20:40
list, if you look on the announcement, is like its own huge paragraph
20:44
of all the awards that he won. Gave up zero sacks this year,
20:48
gave up one sack as a starter. Ever. So just the kind of
20:52
guy that you know, I'm excited to see. I don't know that that
20:56
fifth round. I'm not gonna come in here and say that, oh that
20:59
means removing Connor McGovern back to guard and Van Prance the starting center. But
21:03
I will say there's a non zero chance that he's the kind of guy who
21:08
could earn a starting spot and make them consider that and figure out what's they're
21:12
at a minimum. I love the fact that we have an actual center a
21:17
roster, not like a guy who has snapped the ball for forty four straight
21:19
games. In case this, you know, I'm not going to sugarcoat it
21:25
like it is a projection that Connor McGovern could be a center. He has
21:29
never been a center in the NFL. Aaron Kromer knows. Aaron Kromer's forgot
21:33
more about all Hudson blind player than I'm ever gonna know, So he knows
21:37
how feasible this is, and I trust that they're doing the right thing.
21:40
But just in case, it's kind of nice that we have an actual center
21:42
on the team. I'm excited about that. Yeah, this was along with
21:47
Solomon, who obviously will get to I thought this was arguably like the best
21:51
value that the Bill not even just on Day three, but like one of
21:52
the best values I think the Bills got like in this draft. I just
21:56
was not you know, when we did the show Wednesday and we did our
22:00
you know, positional you know, premium guys and then Day three guys.
22:03
My answer at center was Bowla Murr, who I still like from Arkansas.
22:07
But I said that, like I just assumed Van Pran would be gone by
22:11
early day three at the latest, like I was thinking mid fourth latest.
22:14
But I could have seen him creeping up. Everything I saw him was ranked
22:17
eighty eighth, ninety four, one hundred and second, like, he was
22:19
rated as a you know, late third round pick everywhere that I could find.
22:22
So getting him at one hundred and forty one in the fifth round most
22:26
places across the board, that seems like a you know, a good value
22:32
and a shout out to Ron holding me accountable, you know, disrespect to
22:36
our man will clap, the physical embodiment of Sean McDermott, you know,
22:41
so just having you know, will clap. My bad. I apologize.
22:45
I did not give respect to the fact that we did have a center on
22:48
the roster. But unfortunately for mister Clap, we just drafted Cedric van Frym.
22:53
So by my apologies, I wish him all the best. Yeah,
22:59
he it's a really intriguing pick. Like I think a lot of people had
23:03
him as like in they're like, you know, top five for centers,
23:04
and that's a grouping that usually for a lot of people included like Jackson,
23:07
Powers Johnson and Graham Barton who are are who were and are tremendous prospects.
23:12
I really was surprised that he was still there, and when they picked him,
23:15
I was very cool. I think just to kind of get some of
23:18
it out of the way, I know Chromer, I think Ryan Talbot tweeted
23:22
something about like that. Van Pranz said Chromer talked to him about playing guard
23:27
potentially or thinks he can play guard like and I think that's really intriguing because
23:33
he's got ridiculously short, short, short arms. His arm lengths is thirty
23:38
one and three eighths inches, which is the fifth percentile, and you see
23:41
it when he plays like him and Cole Bishop could have like a whose arms
23:45
are shorter for their body proportionately from a conversation stage, which for anyone who
23:51
isn't familiar that can actually like work at center like absolutely snapped the ball back
23:55
quick, get your arms up quick, like you're they're fighting in a phone
23:57
booth way. More often where they naturally don't get to extend their arms full
24:03
out like a tackle. A tackle you get to get ready and then extend,
24:07
and you get your arms out there naturally before the pass rusher. You
24:11
can get there at center. It's actually not the worst thing that you can
24:15
snap the ball back quickly and pop your arms out. Yes, but it's
24:18
not a downside. The further out you move, the more of an issue
24:22
that becomes. So I would be hesitant to figure out, like, oh,
24:27
is that going to translate it guard? But again Aaron Kromer has forgotten
24:32
more about football than I know. But I mean his blocking ability and toughness,
24:34
like the way he plays the game could work at guard. But that
24:37
arm length piece is significant, And yeah, you nailed it. Like just
24:40
think about if you were trying to do something in a phone booth. The
24:42
longer and leankier and taller you are, the harder it is to turn or
24:45
move or do anything. So he's built well from a proportionate standpoint to play
24:51
center, and then I hope he stays there. Yes, and I agree,
24:55
And he takes a lot of boxes for Chromer for this Bill's staff.
24:59
With his hand strength, his ability to torque defenders or turn defenders, whether
25:02
it's at the first level on the defensive line, or whether it's climbing to
25:06
the second level. He's got enough movement. He keeps his hands locked in
25:11
place on guys. He drives defenders like either drives and kicks them out or
25:15
you know, kindly escorts them downfield or buries them into the dirt. Like
25:18
he's got some real he's got some nice Like he's straight murdering dudes and catching
25:22
bodies out in the open field. Bills fans that see the fervor in excitement
25:26
that Dion Dawkins has finishing blocks out. Yeah, Cedric grand Pranz got some
25:32
of that to him. Where Like when he knows he probably could just finish
25:34
a dB or a safety and win the block and be fine, he goes
25:38
for some belly flops and he goes for some just straight burying who's trying to
25:42
put him three yards under the ground. It's fun, but his highlight reels
25:45
fun. He's trying to finish like every rep like he wants to kill you,
25:48
which is awesome. Like that's that mentality. You want. Good eyes
25:52
when it comes to pass protection, the ability to scan, pick, read,
25:56
and react again. Like to your point, dude, was a three
25:59
year starter at Georgia, and two of those years were national champions championship seasons,
26:03
and this past year was maybe they still should have probably gone horrible embarrassment
26:07
where they lost one game, yeah, and still should have probably gone to
26:11
the playoffs. Anyway, Pretty sure they're still the best team in college football.
26:14
But I don't want any of our like Michigan breth in our staff to
26:18
hear that that they probably would have got housed by Georgia. But whatever they
26:22
would have gotten house, you're not. I'm not gonna get in this conversation
26:23
because I know Michigan. Michigan people are out of the rocker. I'm not
26:26
yea more than quitted cuyear. I'm not sure. I'm already fighting off people
26:30
who still think ke On Coleman's Calvin Benjamin. So I'm not trying to deal
26:33
with any more nonsense from anyone. So real, that's a good insertion here,
26:36
So like a boss, appreciate the contribution you get. You're awesome.
26:40
We did talk about the first three picks that were Kean Coleman, Cole Bishop,
26:44
and Dwane Carter yesterday. I'll give you a hint. We like the
26:48
Dwane Carter pick a lot, so you're gonna like that portion of the show.
26:51
And I will say, uh shaman, Duwayne Carter for posting that video
26:56
of him and his dad having their moment, because I didn't need to cry
27:00
like nine thirty this morning, Like I didn't have that on my agenda to
27:03
cry at nine thirty in the morning. Watching those guys embrace and have their
27:07
moment of pride of achieving their their lifelong goal. It was an amazing video.
27:14
And even more so, Duke put out an eight minute interview like montage
27:19
thing, and then he did his press conference. Dwayne Carter is an impressive
27:26
man. Obviously he went to Duke like one of the three year captain like
27:30
that, Yeah, three year captain, the only one to do history,
27:33
I believe, like the only one in that team's history that to be a
27:36
three year captain. Was there an offensive line prospect from Duke this year?
27:40
Grand Barton Draft? Okay, so thank you. They interviewed Graham Barton about
27:45
his leadership on the team and his immediate quote was, this team had one
27:49
leader, Dwayne Carter. That's awesome. Like, so the first round pick,
27:55
the first round pick from his own school when they said, oh,
27:57
tell us about your leadership at Duke this year, and he said, no,
28:00
no, no, our team had one leader. It was Dwayne Carter.
28:04
That's the kind of guy that we got in there. So you know,
28:07
again, we'll figure out what he does on the field. We're excited
28:11
about his role and what he's going to be able to do. Well.
28:12
You will talk about the other guy here in just a second, but from
28:18
a human standpoint, we got an amazing guy on this team that you guys
28:22
are going to like and learn a lot about. So make sure you check
28:23
out the video. We'll link it. We'll put the link to that show
28:26
in the description for this show so you guys can see it. But check
28:30
that out. That was last night. We went through those first three picks.
28:33
Yeah, absolutely, and then we'll get to see here in a little
28:36
bit. Yeah, anything else in Van prim No, I just think it's
28:37
a good pick, Like I will see where he plays, like what the
28:42
rotation looks like, if he could potentially win a spot this year. I
28:45
know he's a fifth round pick, but I don't think the presence of David
28:48
Edwards is enough to keep It's really if Van praying can do good enough that
28:53
it makes them want to put McGovern back to left guard really or vice versa.
28:56
F Edwards just locking it down at left guard or or to the opposite
29:00
if McGovern just struggles mightily, it's nice to have that flexibility on the interior
29:04
with what he is. And for a dude who isn't the most athletic and
29:10
doesn't have the most lateral agility or explosion, he's still good enough in space.
29:15
He's functional on the move, he's functional climbing. You can pull him,
29:18
you can do some stuff on tunnel screens. Yeah, I'm just I
29:21
was still very surprised that he was there in the fifth round where they got
29:25
him, And I think it's a really good value pick for them, one
29:26
hundred percent. Love it all right with the next pick, give me a
29:30
second? All right? You ready with the next pick? The Buffalo Bills
29:36
selected at a fuon Ulafotio out of Washington at a fu Ulafochio. You guys
29:42
will try your best to get used to it. As Anthony said, once
29:47
you get used to the pronunciation, the last name at least looks logical,
29:51
you'll get used to it. But add a fu on Eula Fochio. We've
29:57
now exhausted the things I know about him, so I'm gonna need to lean
30:00
on you for this one. I will say when Aaron and I had on
30:04
Joe Marino and we were going through our mock draft because of his ridiculous athleticism,
30:11
Yeah, this dude is a crazy like testing wise, and I think
30:14
you'll talk about this in a moment. Testing wise, he is an off
30:17
the charts athlete because you're looking and like I'm looking through here and I'm seeing
30:22
like Bobby Wagner, Domico Ryans, sure Ros Baker, he is Baialen Specker.
30:26
So you could tell we have a type. But the Baylen Specter of
30:30
this list is maybe a little more applicable than the Demico Ryans of this list.
30:37
Yeah. So now I will say his production profile is encouraging. He
30:42
did produce at Washington. He was a good player when Joe was on with
30:47
Aaron and I. We did select him in our mock right around this spot
30:51
as a hey, Joe, we need a special teams linebacker. Who's someone
30:56
who stands out to you? And he said, oh, at Afu and
30:59
U Lafos, He's a guy that is a you know that athletic profile in
31:03
a Saran Neil kind of way, where hey, crazy like off the charts
31:08
athlete that we're not sure it's going to translate on scrimmage downs, but that
31:14
translates in coverage units, and that translates and special teams. Hey run real
31:18
fast down there and go get the guy with the ball. He's going to
31:21
be able to do that. And if he develops into more, God bless
31:23
him, that's fantastic. But this again, this is your Tyler Medickevitch draft
31:29
pick. This is your maybe not Tarrel Dotson, maybe he becomes Trel Dotson
31:32
down the line. But we lost a lot of special teams reps when we
31:37
lost Saran Neil, We lost Trent Sherfield, we lost uh, you know,
31:40
Tyler Metakevitch, we lost charl Dotson. That was a lot of hell.
31:44
Even Jordan Hoyer played special teams. We lost a lot of special teams
31:47
reps. So get in a guy like you. Full made a ton of
31:51
sense from that standpoint, But you know, I don't know anything on the
31:56
upside of where it could go beyond there. And you know, I think
31:59
starting with that piece of what he can be on special teams is I don't
32:02
know if it's an answer people don't want to hear, and I know it's
32:06
not like sexy, but and also just because tie in with the jokes even
32:08
I like when they picked them, I just quote tweeted, I said,
32:10
every year, like just linebacker in the fifth every year, you got to
32:14
get a linebacker every year, and or linebacker on day three, I should
32:16
say they do need a new core on special teams with what their group looks
32:22
like, with the departures they've had, even going back to the year before
32:23
with you know, Taiwan Jones going out like that is an important phase of
32:28
the game, especially with this new kickoff rule, Like who knows how important
32:32
kickoff coverage and return man games become again, You're gonna have coordinators that are
32:37
trying to put new things into practice, people who really know their stuff.
32:40
With athletic, bursty, rangey type of guys on special teams are gonna have
32:46
that advantage early on in a new phase and facet of the game that we
32:50
haven't seen before. And there goes Christyah. They're saying is average ras average
32:54
rass is eight point four three five, And then I mean guys like you
32:58
Afochhio really helps with you know, being at a nine point sixty seven and
33:04
so you know, looking at his production, you know, I know there
33:08
was some injury history in some of the some of the seasons here, but
33:15
yeah, so you know there's some things there that we'll have to keep an
33:16
eye on that we'll look for the input from Cale Trimble once he's able to
33:21
dive into what we get there. But just a guy that I think,
33:25
you know, if we can get him on the field contributing. He's also
33:28
a bit of an older prospect as well, already already twenty four, but
33:32
interested to see where where he can contribute and where that can come across his
33:37
response Anchorage, Alaska after his family immigrated from Nigeria. So just an interesting
33:45
path in life. He's got some fun stuff to watch, Like he flies
33:47
around and you know, I think he's got good reads. His leveraging of
33:52
gaps can sometimes get him out of position. And maybe it's not even necessarily
33:55
the leveraging of gaps as much as it is him kind of being like a
33:59
risk taker and trying to shoot gaps and it puts him almost kind of ironically
34:01
to Tybill Dots in a little bit who would overshoot or undershoot trying to make
34:06
a play and it would lead to him in the same gap as someone else
34:08
in a big run and you could you'd watch it back on film and be
34:12
like, oh, he he made a mistake. And then also just like
34:15
little things, more things that like tick the boxes for McDermott and co.
34:19
He's a huge vocal piece pre snap, He's getting everybody adjusted, he's adjusting
34:22
the defensive line, he's communicating to the apex, he's talking to the secondary
34:25
and the safety is like he is coordinating, doing a lot of you know,
34:30
air traffic controlling a lach Rel Bernard, which we know how much this
34:35
team loves from the mental side of things. And so you take a dude
34:37
with athleticism who flashes and for you know, we're talking about this offline.
34:42
For his athletic as he is, he's not the most fluid or swift mover,
34:47
especially in like small spaces, like when he has to break down or
34:52
somebody's trying to shake him. And I still don't know the right way to
34:53
like face it. I almost want to say like he's a plotter, but
34:57
I don't want to say that because that implies that he's like slower, unathletic
35:00
or clunky, So he's he's not the most for his being as athletic as
35:05
he is, he's not the most fleet of foot, but he flies around.
35:07
Talked about how much he like Matt Milano and kind of like modeled his
35:10
game after him, which so that kind of puts into perspective with that athleticism,
35:14
a dude who's trying to slash, shoot gaps, read and react quickly
35:17
and drive, and when you add that in with play recognition, leadership,
35:21
it's a nice piece for special teams. And then if he grows into something
35:23
more to your point from the linebacker perspective, you know, we'll see a
35:27
lot of his coverage stuff was usually in the flats and those kind of like
35:30
no cover zones where he's hanging back and then they dump it out to a
35:32
running back or something in the find a flat route and he drives forward and
35:37
kind of makes a play. So we'll see what he can do kind of
35:38
changing to a more pro style of coverage base and what he can do carrying
35:43
guys know the field and matching and stuff like that. So his athleticism will
35:46
help in that regard but again, I think at worse you're looking at a
35:50
core special teamer, and even if that's the ceiling, that's fine, and
35:52
that's good value considering what the rest of the roster looks like. Yeah,
35:55
we need that right now here. What coach Chapman's saying is it's actually six.
36:00
You forgot Baile Inspector, uh so, Matt Milano, Treel Bernard,
36:02
those will do Ber two starters. Obviously, we're hoping to see a step
36:06
forward from Dorian Williams and that hopefully Dorian Williams is ready for that Terrell Dotson
36:10
role this year. Williams, Dorian Williams is still on the roster. He
36:16
was he was not ready for that role last year, but we'll see.
36:20
We saw that step forward from Treel Bernard his second year. I'm not expecting
36:23
that leap that Bernard went to, like getting all pro votes leap. But
36:29
I think Dorian Williams can step forward into you know, third base defense linebacker
36:34
spots, and if he can't, we signed Nicholas Morrow. I think Bayale
36:37
Inspector is ready for those and that's where like can compete with those guys like
36:43
Ulifotio could immediately push Dorian Williams for snaps. He could push Nick Nicholas Morrow
36:49
for snaps. He can push bro Bayale inspector for snaps. I think that
36:52
he's probably at the end of that line as we go into training camp.
36:55
But if you tell me that he ends up sneaking some you know, linebacker
37:00
snaps and is able to get himself in there and be active on game bay
37:04
playing special teams, I won't be shocked. I think that that's in the
37:07
range of post welcomes fair and my really only qualm with it, and I
37:12
value special teams just seeing like I liked Christian Jones, the tackle from Texas
37:15
who went two picks later, my heart was with Jalen Simpson, who went
37:21
to the Colts two picks after Christian Jones. So there were some guys in
37:24
the rest of that round again, even like Trevor Keegan, guard from Michigan.
37:30
You know who knows We're in the fifth round, so we'll see what
37:31
happens. Kaylen Carson went at the end of the fifth round. My only
37:35
real qualm with this pick, aside from what his upside could potentially be,
37:40
it's really just I would have preferred some other guys there and even though they
37:45
kind of filled everything out as a whole on day three, I would have
37:49
preferred some other guys there. So in a vacuum, I'm not like horribly
37:53
upset with the pick, but juxtaposing it with some other guys that positions of
37:59
need who I've value more, That's the only like real qualm I had with
38:02
this pick. Yeah, and you know, we'll take a look at the
38:06
combinations of where things I'm looking through just the the there ended up being a
38:13
hit. I was looking at how many linebackers went before we started taking some
38:15
of our project tackles later on, just because obviously Malik Washington also went in
38:21
the sixth round, Like, hey, could we have still gotten kind of
38:24
a special teams linebacker in the sixth and also gotten Leak Washington. Maybe they're
38:29
the only Muasau from UCLA. Darius Maasau, he's got some fun stuff like
38:36
he could have potentially like you're looking at later in the sixth round, But
38:39
how that would have lined up? Like that's really the they really I didn't
38:43
realize too. I guess like there was a lot of linebackers before the Bills
38:46
went with him. One, two, three, four, five, six,
38:50
seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.
38:52
Yeah, Ulafohio was the fourteenth linebacker taken off the board, and he was
38:55
the one right after. I think it's so cool that the Eagles took Jeremiah
38:59
Trotter. That's awesome, that's cool. Yeah, and he also fits their
39:04
D so yeah, I didn't realize there were so many linebackers that went before
39:06
him. Yeah. So the next pick is my favorite pick of the day.
39:10
Cedric van Pran was also a very very nice one, but my favorite
39:15
pick of the day is defensive end. Javon Solomon out of Troy six two
39:20
forty six is definitely more of that like pass rush specialist in the NFL.
39:25
Is not a guy that I ever expect to play. He's not going to
39:29
be a Gregory Russo, he's not going to ever play sixty five percent of
39:30
snaps. He's not going to be your strong side run defender and guy there
39:36
he's is actually somebody who pretty much has had to overcome the fact that he
39:40
doesn't have terribly long arms and is you know, or it doesn't have the
39:45
size he has. Let me, I flip that around. He's only six
39:49
feet tall, which is how you don't see a lot of six foot pas
39:52
rushers, but because he has crazy long arms, he's able to make that
39:55
work. And when I say make that work, I mean thirty thirty three
40:00
sacks in the last three seasons and another sixteen and a half tackles for a
40:06
loss forty nine and a half tackles for a lost sacks combined the last three
40:10
years. Just unbelievable production. The dude gets to the quarterback and gets him
40:15
on the ground. I'm excited about this. I thought that he was a
40:20
guy that should have gone earlier in the draft and should have been available there,
40:25
So getting him in the late fifth round is late. As what we
40:29
did. I was very very excited about and a guy that I think has
40:31
a very good chance to be able to, you know, see some snaps
40:37
on this team and be able to be in a good position. I'm still
40:39
open to that veteran pass rush free agent market, and if that's where we
40:45
need to go, I'm not going to be upset. But this is a
40:46
guy that I think has a chance to, you know, really be productive
40:52
in thirty percent of snaps when he's on the field, where I won't be
40:54
shocked if like, holy crap, Solomon had five sacks this season, but
40:59
it's in a limited number of snaps. But when he's in the dude gets
41:02
to the quarterback. What I never really considered him much for the Bills just
41:07
because of like play outside their archetypes, way way outside. Yeah. So,
41:13
and I tweeted this earlier. Like the Edges in the Brandon Being era,
41:17
they average six foot five, so again, Javon Solomon is six foot
41:22
and seven eighths. In terms of weight, they averaged two hundred and seventy
41:27
pounds. Javon Solomon weighs two hundred and forty six pounds. Arm length is
41:31
thirty four inches. He's at thirty three and seven eighths, which is the
41:35
sixty third percentile, So it's close. Broad jump one hundred and seventeen.
41:38
His broad jump was one nineteen, so actually a little higher four point seven
41:43
eight forty. His forty was four point seven to two, so close,
41:46
and a one point sixty five ten yard split. He was a one point
41:50
sixty six. So from an athletic standpoint, he kind of ticks some of
41:52
their boxes, but just from a size standpoint, and yes, he does
41:55
have long arms for his size, being in that like sixty third percentile.
41:59
I mean he's almost eleven in ch hands. Yes, big hands. So
42:02
again he's not sitting there with like the longest arms ever, but they're proportionally
42:06
long for his body. But just from a size perspective, yeah, like
42:08
they're normally hitting dudes that are six five two seventy and he's almost six'
42:14
one two forty six. That's a significant difference. And so I never really
42:19
I thought they would go more for like Brennan Jackson, who I talk about
42:22
on the show, like athletic guy, but bigger, also long arm,
42:24
pocket compression type of dude, but still having some moves. What's nice about
42:28
Solomon is he just has he's got moves like you see a cross chop,
42:31
you see the hand usage. He he does some really good things with his
42:37
hands, Like he's he's attacking tackles and he stabs with his left and starts
42:43
to use a long arm, but as he does it, he's grabbing the
42:45
wrist of the outside hand and chucking it and then using it to dip and
42:49
bend. So he's got some dip, he's got some bend. He's got
42:52
hand usage. One of the things that I mentioned and I clarified it after
42:55
because I guess people didn't know what I meant by it, Like he's got
42:58
some veloci raptor to his game. He's just active, he's relentless, he's
43:01
using his hands. He's popping guys like you're just seeing like a blur like
43:06
left and right, and he tries to get after it in the run game.
43:07
Again, he's not the biggest dude, so you're gonna have to see
43:14
how he can hold up against the run if he's used in that regard,
43:15
or how he can you know, hold up against bigger offensive tackles in the
43:19
NFL because he is a bit undersized from an overall like height and weight standpoint.
43:23
But man, just the length, the hand usage, the moves.
43:30
Just I again, I never really considered him considering like how how much of
43:36
an outlier he was with pieces and just even with like the bend and the
43:38
burst and the moves, they still don't even gravitate towards those guys from a
43:43
skill set standpoint. They like dudes that are just like, hey, man,
43:45
just go be big and long and compress the pocket. And it's like,
43:46
what do you want me to like? You want me to do like
43:49
a cross shop. They're like, Nope, just compressed, just compressed,
43:52
just compressed the pocket like he and we do have to say, Eric Washington
43:55
left, we have a new defensive line coach, just like we've seen,
44:00
maybe some more lean into more man coverage abilities. With the new dB coaches
44:04
and a new defensive coordinator, we have to get our minds around maybe not.
44:09
We're not gonna say we're not. We're still gonna be mostly his own
44:12
defense mostly, you know, a lot of cover to a lot of a
44:14
lot of the same stuff we've been doing here, but little tweaks, little
44:16
flexes, little usages, tilts in some of the percentages of when we do
44:22
what we also might see some new archetypes and and some shifts in those averages
44:28
where you'll cover. One does a ton of research. Shout out to our
44:30
guy, Chris Seth. He does a fantastic job building us databases of all
44:35
of the averages, all of the archetypes of what the bills have gone through
44:38
and picked. So you know, and and I won't go as far as
44:43
Dylan's come in here of Eric Washington aka the reason of why Line never did
44:47
anything. Maybe not quite that far, but I'm not upset that he's gone.
44:52
Either, I'm okay with getting some new new vision in that area,
44:59
and I'm a excited. I'm happy with the fact that they're cool taking a
45:02
shot on a guy like Jabazou. Yeah, and he like in a similar
45:06
breath, Like I mentioned Xavier Thomas, like athletic, juic, stup guy
45:10
from Clemson who smaller, also in like the lower six foots, two hundred
45:15
and forty four pounds. But I was like, he doesn't fit the archetype.
45:17
But yeah, maybe you're just using him as like a situational rusher rusher
45:20
just to give you some jew see what happens. Solomon is just he's got
45:23
the production, he's got some traits, he's got some moves, he's got
45:27
the attitude and the mentality. Again, we'll see how that size plays like.
45:30
And again just coming from Troy, no disrespect to them or their schedule,
45:35
but you know, playing against top tier opponents will see what that learning
45:38
curve if there is one, you know, potentially looks like. But yeah,
45:43
just he's he's got some moves, he understands rush playing, he understands
45:46
which move to go to and when and how to set things up and let
45:49
me not keep you know, going to the well with this. Let me
45:52
try something else. Just good hands, usage, cross chopped, long arms,
45:55
risk control, all those kind of things, and a nice little little
45:58
athletic velociraptor pack engine. He'll have some challenges, but you know, I
46:00
think he's got a good shot to make this team as just I mean,
46:05
can he beat out Casey two Hill for that or and Kings of Jonathan for
46:07
that fourth spot? That's like the question we're looking at right now, one
46:10
hundred percent. That's exactly where his spot isn't what a funny size comp Look
46:16
at the statistical profile. This year, he became just the second player in
46:21
FBS history since two thousand to record twelve tackles for a loss, seven and
46:25
a half sacks and interception in the first six games of a season since Elvis
46:30
Dumerville. Oh, very funny. Which is funny just seeing another guy who
46:35
is also an oddly shaped pass rusher at six foot with crazy long arms.
46:39
It's just funny that they also put together the same Now that's a nice step,
46:45
well well done, well done. Yeah funny. So the next one
46:49
is I'm gonna actually skip our next pick and I'm going to go in between
46:52
to the dB that we picked, and I'm going to share the response from
47:00
our own Daikon Jones, who his response was, that's a fine name you
47:05
have there, fella. Obviously, another Penn State alum gave that we are
47:10
hashtag the Bills selected Daikwon Hardy, who is a cornerback, but you know
47:16
very much a nickelback in the setup that they are not a large man.
47:23
Daikwon Hardy is not a large fella from that standpoint, but a nifty punt
47:30
returner. You shared a really nice clip of his punt return touchdown going through
47:35
there. So I won't even pretend to know a lot about dak One Hardy.
47:38
He was not a guy that I had done a ton of prep on.
47:42
I will say, as I went through looking for guys who played in
47:45
the nickel he was a name that came up. And you can see a
47:49
lot of green in the good spots here and then a lot of red in
47:52
the size portion and seventy nine pounds. But if you're going to do that
47:58
having a forty two and a half inch vertical over a ten foot broad jump
48:02
and running a four three eight forty, that's the way to go about doing
48:06
it. So, you know, we talked pre show it's not easy to
48:10
make this roster when you're smaller or a backup. But if you're going to
48:15
be a backup Nickel, the way to get on the roster is being able
48:16
to take punt returns to the house. So I like the fact that he
48:20
has some of that special Team's return ability sprinkled in there. Maybe that's a
48:23
reason. Normally late six rounders, you're not talking about guys with a high
48:28
likelihood of making the roster. But we need a backup Nickel. We kind
48:30
of even projected it with Cole Bishop last night. We need a punt returner
48:35
that there's you know, is it Clusha here? Is it someone else in
48:37
that range? Heck, are we going to try it with? Oh my
48:39
god, it's so cute. It's just happened. Yes, he didn't.
48:46
Didn't He didn't do any other stuff, like he forgot about the right side
48:51
of the minecraft. That's so funny. So again, I literally have no
48:57
input on his corner back playing ability other than I'm happy he's a backup Nickel
49:01
and he's a punt return That's all I got. Yeah, So I'll get
49:05
into someone who's playing a little bit, but I wanted to lead just with
49:07
the size stuff, and you know, there's the chart itself, so you
49:09
can kind of see a representation. And then you know, nice, really
49:14
really nice broad jump, vertical and forty combination. You see him athlete,
49:17
like that highlight you shared, like you could see it immediately. Yes,
49:21
he is a special explosive athlete. He's got cho you know, four three
49:23
eight forty, a forty two inch vertical, which is ninety seven percent dile,
49:28
so eighty ninth percent out for the forty, ninety seven for the vert
49:30
seventy fourth percentile for the broad but everything else is just so tiny, like
49:35
no pun intended. Eleven percentile for height, seven percentile for weight, first
49:39
percentile for wingspan, eighth for arm length second percentile, and hand size,
49:45
and that's obviously like gonna be an issue, like the he's undersized with with
49:51
smaller you know, I guess features or frame aspects of his game, which
49:55
is unfortunate for how he plays, because he does play with tenacity, like
50:00
he is a tough dude. He does come forward, he does transition well,
50:04
he's got some smoothness to his game. But I really think if he's
50:07
making this roster. It's as a returner, which is a good opportunity because
50:10
we don't know who the return is going to be from a kickstandpoint, from
50:14
a punt standpoint. He's got the juice to potentially do it, like he's
50:17
got the straight line speed, and I think he's got the physicality or the
50:22
mentality to play like slot obviously in college but even potentially in the NFL.
50:28
But like functional play strength size, I think that's gonna be tough for him
50:34
to overcome, just because you can't do much to mitigate it. But again,
50:37
sometimes crazier things have happened, but just how that's going to limit him
50:42
in coverage or coming forward to try and fit the run, especially in this
50:45
defense with what's asked of a nickel. But yeah, dude has some explosion
50:49
to his game. He's got some return viability. I never watched anything for
50:52
him in particular, but in watching Chop Robinson and Agisa, Isaac Kaylin King
51:00
and some of the other dudes on Penn State's defense or watching offenses that played
51:04
Penn State, like he would pop up from time to time, just again
51:07
because he moved similar to Solomon, just in a different way. Like you
51:08
would just see be like, oh, who made that play? And then
51:10
it's like, oh, it's already and like just make a little notes here
51:13
and there. So yeah, you could do words than taking a really explosive
51:15
dude with some return ability. And again that's another special teams value spot.
51:20
And if you get anything out of a seventh rounder, that's value. Like
51:22
if they're qualified to fill up all the water bottles before practice, like that's
51:27
a win. Like, so if he can be a starting return guy or
51:30
just add some kind of juice in some way, you know, cool,
51:32
good for him, and we'll see what happened. Happens up you're on mute.
51:38
Happens to the best of us. The reason I skipped over Tallan Grabil
51:46
is because I'm gonna lump both he and our final pick together, so the
51:52
Bills in between. There in the other late six round pick, they took
51:54
offensive tackle out of UCF Tyland Grabil, a guy that you know, we
51:59
talked about it. Hey, I want to see kind of a project guy
52:04
with some some size and some length. They actually leaned a little bit more
52:07
on the athleticism side than the normal we see. We a lot of times
52:10
we see guys who are almost kind of plotting in. You know, when
52:15
you see a Ryan Vandermark, when you see an alec Anderson, they're not
52:19
necessarily always the higher end athlete, but they're crazy frames. So Grabil is
52:23
a big dude, six five and three quarters three oh six, Like that's
52:27
not small, but that's not like we've seen some bigger guys than that.
52:30
But he did actually test really well in some of the athleticism testing, So
52:37
again we'll see very oftentimes these are like developmental practice squad guys that were not
52:44
actually planning on making the roster. They are guys that were just saying,
52:47
hey, we like some of these traits, who think we can coach that
52:50
up. Let's see what it becomes. And in credit to them, that's
52:53
where the alec Anderson's and the Ryan Vandermarks in the world came from, is
52:57
we kind of hit them for a little bit, let them get coached up.
53:00
Then all of a sudden they're the versatile at fifty three man roster,
53:04
eighth ninth offensive lineman. So that is absolutely possible in the future of Tyland.
53:07
Grabil I would say his chances of making the twenty twenty four Buffalo Hills
53:13
fifty three man roster is low single digits percent chances. But hey, they
53:17
brought him in. He's got some high end athleticism. Maybe they're able to
53:21
take a shot, have a good camp. Yeah I didn't. I don't
53:25
have any evaluation on him, like I didn't get to Tyler Grimmam, no
53:28
disrespect. The only thing I know really is like he coming from UCF,
53:31
so he played with so Gus malsand is the coach of UCF, former coach
53:37
at Auburn, and so he runs a spread offense like get to the line
53:39
quickly, like doing things like that. So I would imagine his athleticism plays
53:44
well, and not just like from a measurable and testing standpoint, but in
53:47
from actuality like playing in space and having to function on islands and being able
53:52
to move in a variety of ways. So I would assume his athletic ability
53:55
is actually like functional and to a high degree, like on the field,
53:59
because you're not going to survive a tackle in that offense unless you do.
54:01
I do think it was interesting with you know them kind of but again,
54:05
like to your point, like it's a seventh round pick, you kind of
54:07
see what happens or late like late day three in general with those kind of
54:10
things. But you know, because he got taken in the sixth. But
54:15
it was interesting how much O line they went here, like with Van Prant
54:19
and then going with Grable and then you know, we'll see what happens with
54:21
Travis Clayton. But I thought it was interesting for them to go offensive line
54:25
again. So as you shared the final name here, Travis Clayton, Uh,
54:32
Travis Clayton is a gentleman that we just drafted who has never played a
54:37
snap of football. The reason that people are excited about that is that was
54:45
also what happened with Jordan Malatta coming out. Travis Clayton was a rugby player.
54:50
He was part of the International Pathways program. He is from England.
54:54
He is also the gentleman that the highlight went around. He's six seventh,
55:00
three hundred and three pounds and he ran a four to eight one forty.
55:04
Oh, that's ridiculous. That is an absurd speed score. Six to seven,
55:09
three hundred and three pounds and he ran a four to eight one forty.
55:15
So and here Sophia in the chat sharing uh that Travis Klayton as and
55:21
why he likes footboy says being able to take your anger out on people legally.
55:25
I like that. And Ron asked me what the ARI score. I
55:29
don't think they put together an actual RIS score, although I will say there
55:35
was a international Pathways combine, so it may not take too much effort to
55:42
try to build one on. Oh no, they did end up putting it
55:45
together. There's some limited things here, let me share it. We do
55:51
have a little bit here. So again, three hundred and one pounds is
55:53
not going to be off the charts for where that is. But again,
55:58
he's sixty seven and he ran a nine. So the ninety nine point seventh
56:01
percentile in forty yard dash times had a limited vertical but an unbelievable speed score
56:09
in what he did. So again we'll see. You know there's you can
56:15
have no expectations for a man who's never worn shoulder pants or helmt before man
56:22
in his life. But I know the chat was going crazy asking about we
56:29
know, the Christian Wade history and rules about the like extra practice, squad
56:34
spot and the free thing. I don't know if that applies if you're drafted.
56:39
So I got to research that and the person that the first person I'm
56:43
gonna go to, and who I encourage abe of you to go to is
56:45
all Capacia Sale is always the best on the roster machinations stuff and how the
56:51
rules of those things work. So I'm going to go and research that myself
56:54
and see what I can find out. I know he's gone through all the
56:59
NFL Academy pieces. So is Paul's pointing out here, I'm ketual Kading.
57:01
I'm sure he has literally put on shoulder pads. Yeah, but he has
57:06
actually done that. He was just like a guard overseas or like a truck
57:10
driver and they were like, hey man, you look big and fast.
57:14
Should we draft you in the NFL. So the International Pathways program has really
57:19
developed over the years. It is actually very become much more representatives. There
57:28
have been times where there's things that Christian Wade where you know, there's a
57:30
little more fun to it and there's probably not a ton of like expectation,
57:37
Like Travis Clayton was a draft pick, like they drafted him like that was
57:39
that's real? That means that, Oh no, like they think there's a
57:44
chance he could make an NFL roster. That's a real one. So we'll
57:47
see, we'll see where that one goes. I'm not one hundred percent sure
57:52
what my expectation will be. But when you have a guy that big,
57:55
in that fast, that there's a chance, you know, thirty five inch
58:00
arms, uh six seven ten in chans and having that kind of athletic ability,
58:04
and you know you can see him moving in rugby in a way that
58:07
obviously shows this is a very good athlete, Like this is this a guy
58:12
who is an elite athlete. We'll see if they can turn him into an
58:15
offensive tackle. But if you're going to take shots on that, a late
58:19
seventh round pick with that kind of athletic upside is fun. That that's something
58:23
that will be fun to watch and see if they're able to make that transition.
58:27
Yeah, if everybody's trying to chase the next Jordan Alatta, like I
58:29
mean, I get it, Like he's absolutely tremendous, so fair like kind
58:31
of go to the well. Yeah, you know Travis Clayton singing ability.
58:36
Oh, that's an actually really important part of Jordan Alta's Actually, if anybody
58:39
has never heard Jordana, he is an unbelievable singer. To the highlights that
58:46
are out there. The Eagles offensive line did like a fun Christmas Yeah,
58:51
and he does the high part of white, of wishing for a white Christmas,
58:54
and it's unbelievable. And then he sings to his wife at their wedd
59:00
and he like that, oh my God, like little burn tears ries.
59:02
It is unbelievable. He is an incredible singer. So that's my next research
59:07
point is how good of a singer is Travis Clayton, because that might be
59:09
what puts him over to the edge to be in the next R that's fair,
59:14
yeah, and then I'm okay with it from a player perspective, like
59:16
kind of take a fire my only kind of group everything with the like the
59:21
last three kind of speaking about there, like with Hardy and then Grabel,
59:27
I guess lumping in h Clayton as well. Like again for me, it's
59:30
just more of like the potential opportunity cost of who else could have been had
59:34
at certain aspects, like after they took Tyland Grabil, Christian Mahogany, the
59:38
guard from Boston College when I really liked he went to Detroit a little bit
59:42
after that, and then after him, Ryan floor Noy went a couple of
59:47
several picks right before dakwon Hardy, after floor Noy went BOWLAMRR went from Arkansas,
59:53
so just the opportunity cost of you know, grabbing Grabel. But again,
59:57
we don't know what any of this right, Like I we Taylor and
1:00:00
Brendan Rice, both guys who were very popular names around Bill's mafia. They
1:00:04
went after Travis Clayton, and that's my thought too. Like so then like
1:00:07
that was those are the names that I would have rather had than Grable.
1:00:10
But again, like I said, like, I didn't do an evail on
1:00:13
Grable, so for all I know, if I did, I would have
1:00:15
been like, oh my god, I love Grabel. This is a tremendous
1:00:17
pick. But so that's my only like qualm with the Hardy and Grabel action
1:00:23
there. And then yeah, from a Clayton perspective, like Trey Taylor's got
1:00:25
some fun stuff and he's the cousin of Ed Reid, which if anyone I
1:00:29
don't care if they've never played football. If someone's Ed read like is related
1:00:31
to Ed Reid and shares his blood, you can have a spot on my
1:00:34
football team. I'm literally wearing an Ed Reid Miami jersey right now, and
1:00:37
I didn't plan it for that conversation. Real quick, just a shout out
1:00:40
Anthony represented three Days in a Row with a Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson,
1:00:45
and ed Reid Cowage throwback jerseys. Just an all time flex showing off his
1:00:51
closet in his collection. That is just an all time flex. I appreciate
1:00:54
that, Thank you very much. So yeah, Taylor going, I know
1:01:00
there's probably redundancy with Coleman and Rice, but I would have taken Brendan Rice
1:01:05
there found out. Yeah, that's one hundred percent. I would aft around
1:01:07
and found out right there. I'm going through the rest of the names that
1:01:10
or even I'm surprised we never took anyone as an outside corner, like even
1:01:16
a Devonshire. Like it's you know, it becomes a cliche that every time
1:01:19
there's a Pittsburgh. I expected it, though, I really thought, like
1:01:22
when they didn't take when they didn't take Carson because of like I talked about
1:01:28
earlier, when I wanted them to take Carson instead of uh Uleafotio. Yeah,
1:01:35
I was like, Okay, they're probably just gonna get Devonshire, Like
1:01:37
I really believe that in my heart. Dwight mcglothine didn't even get drafted.
1:01:40
That was a favorite of Aaron Quinn through from Arkansas, like so that it's
1:01:45
those little things or even I'm I'm just seeing this now. Todd Washington,
1:01:50
he's small, but he's a burner from USC He went to Freak in Miami.
1:01:53
Like everybody on the offense can just frigg and fly, But that would
1:01:58
have been cool to kind of see just that way. You even though it's
1:02:00
still a very late Day three pick, but you still get that double dip
1:02:05
with some potential speed aspect to it. Like there were some other guys that
1:02:08
I would have gravitated towards, but there's a reason these guys are still here
1:02:13
in the seventh round, like four better or for worse. So kind of
1:02:15
I feel like I'm splitting hairs a little bit by really getting worked up to
1:02:20
even like a point five on a scale of one to ten. But those
1:02:23
are yeah. My only qualms really with anything they did on Day three was
1:02:27
just the opportunity cost and like who they took, who else was on the
1:02:30
board, what they could have potentially done. I really like Jalen cokerfo Bill
1:02:37
is he really Uh that's the first UDFA signing and I saw broken here the
1:02:42
Bill sign. Jalen Coker is one of their UDIA fas. Oh, that's
1:02:45
awesome. If you again, for folks who want to go to man,
1:02:47
go to my Twitter. I post some stuff when day I don't remember,
1:02:52
sometime before the draft. And again he's playing against not the best level of
1:02:58
competition, but the athletic similar to your comments on Javon Solomon that if you're
1:03:02
not going to play top end position, I want the most saxon college football
1:03:06
in the last three years. So if you're not going to play the highest
1:03:08
competition, I want the guy with the most touchdown catches in college football last
1:03:14
year, which was Jalen Coker. And he's got good size, he's coordinated,
1:03:19
and his ability to function at the catch point, like he's dunking on
1:03:22
dudes downfield in the low red zone. He's a better route runner than I
1:03:24
thought he was going to be. And at six' one two eight,
1:03:28
like see there, he runs a four or five. So again he's not
1:03:30
a burner. He played. He like to introduce everyone to this year's David
1:03:35
Sills Brandon Riley practice squad training camp Darling that everyone's going to fall in love
1:03:42
with Welcome to your lives. Jalen Coker. He is going to He's going
1:03:47
to have some catches in camp or something like that where he mosses somebody or
1:03:52
just does something really nice in one on ones and everybody's going to be like
1:03:54
he should be the starting whatever. He's better than key On Coleman. Key
1:03:58
On Coleman sucks, But I legitimately do like Jalen Cocher. He was one
1:04:01
of my pairings of Like if they went early with like Xavier Worthy or Lad
1:04:05
McConkie and the bigger bodied receiver didn't work out later, I was like,
1:04:11
take Jalen Cocher in the sixth or the seventh, Like give me that big,
1:04:15
kind of larger sized, the athletic dude who can play at the catch
1:04:17
point. Similar conversation though to like a lot of these guys that we've been
1:04:21
talking about and that day three range of he yet the technical aspects like Kenny
1:04:27
get off pressed with regularity, his stem work, his route precision, like
1:04:30
he's not somebody with a lot of suddenness or sharpness to his routes. That
1:04:33
deception piece like you're gonna have to help him sell routes and sell different pieces
1:04:38
instead of just being bigger and faster and more athletic than everybody in winning with
1:04:42
that consistently. I don't think that's gonna play all the time in the NFL,
1:04:45
but I am somewhat intrigued. I saw what you pulled up quickly.
1:04:48
Did we also sign Marcus Rosevey jacksaying? Or is that just so somebody's going
1:04:53
was a wishless Oh? I got so. I really like Marcus roseby Jack
1:04:56
saying too. I got super excited. Yeah, that was a list.
1:05:00
I think that was a wish list from Tim that he would just say.
1:05:01
I think he was saying, Jalen Cocher, Marcus Rose, Me, Jack
1:05:04
Saint and UH got you a cefist our guys. Actually the target is I
1:05:09
thought they I read it fast. I was like, well they did Coker
1:05:11
Rose and Me Jack sayt and they did see fist. I was like,
1:05:14
whoa man, Yeah, we'll see. We'll see as these signings and and
1:05:18
uh Coker. Coker is a cool flyer though again if you haven't seen him
1:05:21
already, go to my Twitter pro underscore underscore and and type that in.
1:05:25
And Jalen Cocher I posted a bunch of stuff. I'll probably actually do a
1:05:29
couple more, Uh look at some more stuff as we kind of grind through.
1:05:31
Probably not tonight, so I'm exhausted. I'm gonna go to like try
1:05:33
to sleep as soon as we're done here because I'm so tired. But yeah,
1:05:36
that's that's really fun. That's a really fun udf A. I would
1:05:40
have been fine with him if they legitimately took him in like the six or
1:05:44
seven. So the fact that they got into the UDFA, I'm cool with
1:05:45
that. So let's give some final thoughts overall as we close this out here
1:05:50
and share on the draft class again. You know, we we opened up
1:05:56
with a couple of trade backs where we were able to move some pieces around
1:05:59
and basically, instead of just taking Keyan Coleman it picked twenty eight, we
1:06:02
got Dwayne Carter for giving for moving back to still take Kean Coleman. We
1:06:08
then took Cole Bishop, the safety out of Utah at pick sixty. We
1:06:12
got Dwayne Carter, defensive tackle out of Duke, and pick ninety five Kentucky
1:06:15
running back Ray Davis at pick one twenty eight in the fourth round. Our
1:06:19
first of three fifth round picks Cedric van Pran, the center from Georgia linebackerund
1:06:26
of Washington at Afuan Ulifotio pass rusher out of Troy Juvon Solomon our third fifth
1:06:31
round pick. The fourth fifth round pick turned into a twenty twenty five Chicago
1:06:38
Bears fourth rounder. We then took offensive tackle Tyland Grabile out of UCF Penn
1:06:44
State nickel corner and punt returner Dia Kwon Hardy, and then International Pathways rugby
1:06:49
player Travis Clayton with the seventh round pick. Your overall thoughts on the class,
1:06:55
Anthony, I like it for the most part. Again, my in
1:07:00
I should say I like it in a vacuum. Like if I'm just talking
1:07:01
about the individual players, I'm fine with the heavy majority of them the opportunity
1:07:08
cost. Again, like if it's just seemed Keon Coleman is the example,
1:07:11
right, Like I like Kean Coleman. He was my wide receiver nine.
1:07:14
But just out of everybody there, I mean, I would have taken Adie
1:07:16
Mitchell, or I would have taken Matt McConaughey. Now, knowing that ad
1:07:21
Mitchell slipped into the fifties, that makes me think his interview sucked and maybe
1:07:26
he really is kind of careless or effortless or something. And then maybe that
1:07:30
makes me not want to take Kadie Mitchell. But I'm fine with that.
1:07:32
I thought it was a little early for Cole Bishop just based on his skill
1:07:36
set and where I had him rated, but that's fine. Dwayne Carter I
1:07:41
thought was a solid play. Davis is a solid play. Van Print is
1:07:44
probably my favorite pick in this class just from an overall value standpoint and how
1:07:47
that worked out. We talked about you the Folksio, We'll see what happens
1:07:50
there. And Javon Solomon, Yeah, fun piece. Like I I like
1:07:55
kind of having I don't know, like a mercenary as a pass rusher around
1:07:58
the edge and kind of just seeing if he can grow into that and how
1:08:00
it works out. And I think the last three picks there with Grabil,
1:08:03
Hardy and Clayton like that kind of take them or leave them again. Opportunity
1:08:08
costs throughout, but I think in the vacuum, I'm fine with the majority
1:08:11
of the players where they were taken and who they could have potentially had instead.
1:08:15
I think we'll know more a year from now, potentially as guys blow
1:08:19
up or like again, like for me, like because I'm not the highest
1:08:23
on coal Bishop, Like if if cam Kitchens balls out, I am going
1:08:27
to punch Cole Bishop in the face like that's where like I'm at a year
1:08:30
from now. But again, everybody, you can see the plan of what
1:08:33
they're trying to do, right of the guys they're bringing in from an off
1:08:36
the field standpoint, from a skill set standpoint, athleticism, the type of
1:08:41
roles that they play. And I also think some of these guys are potentially
1:08:44
interesting in pushing us towards the viewpoint of what this team is going to look
1:08:47
like. You know, new defensive line coach, new defensive coordinator, new
1:08:50
secondary coach, full year of Joe Brady as an offensive coordinator, being able
1:08:56
to uninstall Dorsey's offense and install his own. Yeah, I don't. I
1:08:59
didn't see any on Coker either. Yeah, I might have got gotten here
1:09:02
on some of this stuff moves fast with some of the UDIA based, so
1:09:06
we'll keep an eye on that as we go. But I yeah, episodes,
1:09:12
everything we said is never again. So my overall thoughts are if you
1:09:17
remove the names and told me that we traded down twice but still got a
1:09:24
wide receiver at thirty three, then went safety, defensive tackle, running back,
1:09:30
center, linebacker, defensive end, you know, offensive tackle, corner,
1:09:33
offensive tackle, I'd be like, oh, that's awesome. That's exactly
1:09:36
what I do every time I do a mock draft. That we got all
1:09:40
the positions I wanted pretty much in the order that I take them, Like
1:09:45
that makes total sense. Like, oh, maybe I would have taken the
1:09:47
center in the third and the fifth and the de tackle in the fifth,
1:09:50
or maybe I would have got the edgeresher in the fourth and the running back
1:09:54
in the fifth. But we took the positions that I wanted pretty much in
1:09:59
the order that I wanted them. So again, I opened up last night
1:10:02
show rattling off all the draft picks I was wrong about when the Bills took
1:10:06
them. So you know, I love Dwayne Carter. I wanted him.
1:10:11
I was excited about Cedric grand Prant. I'm happy about that. I love
1:10:14
the Javon Solomon pick. Like those three are really really cool. Ray Davis
1:10:17
is one of the three running backs I kept touting saying I want it.
1:10:19
So I'm good with all those. I liked Cole Kean Coleman, and Cole
1:10:26
Bishop. We took them earlier than I wanted to take them, but I
1:10:29
like them. It's not like there were players I didn't like. We just
1:10:30
took them. Both earlier than I thought they were going to go. But
1:10:34
again, what the hell do I know? Like, I'm not going to
1:10:36
pretend to be, you know, a draft expert. I'm certainly not.
1:10:42
So I like the draft class because they addressed the positions that I wanted.
1:10:46
Now we get to find out did we pick the right guys and what kind
1:10:50
of impact that they had, DoD they have and we'll go from there.
1:10:53
And that's a good way to put it, right, Like, I think,
1:10:56
even if you don't like the player that they took, they still addressed
1:11:00
I think the majority of positions that everyone wanted them to address. And then
1:11:04
that just comes down to similar to how you have debates with anybody, Like,
1:11:09
evaluation is different across the board. You could ask for ten evaluations from
1:11:13
ten different people on this one player and you'll get ten different grades or ten,
1:11:16
and it could be small. I have our first three picks, Chris
1:11:19
Simms like thought we had the best values at each pick and was like ecstatic
1:11:25
and thought we had like the highest grade of Day one and Day two Like
1:11:28
so again, what the hell does Chris Sims know? But that's someone who
1:11:31
like his job is to talk about football and to look at these things.
1:11:33
He thought we had the best draft and they wanted Day two. So there's
1:11:36
gonna be big different ranges out there, yes, And so even like if
1:11:41
I disagree with where they took some of the dudes, Oh that's awesome,
1:11:44
Charles, thank you so much for being here for really really cool. Thank
1:11:45
you so much. That's super cool. Yeah, Like, even if even
1:11:49
if those players weren't necessarily the ones I wanted for those positions or the combination
1:11:55
or order in which they went, I'm happy that they tried to address those
1:12:00
positions of need. And we're not sitting here going like I can't believe they
1:12:02
didn't take a safety. I can't believe they didn't take a defensive tackle.
1:12:05
I can't believe. Like in granted, maybe maybe even if they hadn't,
1:12:09
maybe they wanted to, but the board didn't fall their way. The absence
1:12:12
of evidence is not evidence of absence. I still would have liked to double
1:12:15
dip at wide receiver. That's really my only like qualm from a position they
1:12:19
didn't try to address. And again, I think, you know, having
1:12:24
issues with the players they took or where they took them as a separate issue,
1:12:26
Like I like that they tried to attack the glaring issues that we think
1:12:30
that they have. And yeah, your point, we'll see really three years
1:12:32
from now is which I get what I give every draft pick and draft class
1:12:35
to kind of make a stamp of approval or negativity one way or the other.
1:12:40
So we'll see what happens. But overall, yeah, I think you
1:12:42
could see the plan and man, hopefully they go trade for I don't know
1:12:48
Brandon Ayuk or Justin Jefferson or maybe Stefan Diggs's, so just a heads up.
1:12:56
I did see very specifically in the branded bean uh post draft presser which
1:13:01
ranby who has an a chance to see that yet? Make sure you check
1:13:03
that out. And he went live just before and and I did. Here
1:13:08
his comment was, I have no idea where that trade stuff is happening.
1:13:12
Do you guys not understand how the salary cap works? We can't make those
1:13:15
trades. The salary cap is a myth though, so he's lying, posturing,
1:13:19
just posturing. I wish I wish somebody followed up with that on was
1:13:24
like, question, Brandon, any any fire to the smoke that the salary
1:13:27
cap is a myth? Can you confirm? Can you show me the salary
1:13:32
cap right now? Can you hold it like, point to the salary cap
1:13:36
in this room right now? Can you show me it? It proved to
1:13:42
me it's real. Oh all right, I got a real one and it's
1:13:45
a fun one. I got a real one and it's a fun one.
1:13:49
Our UDFA here, the Bills have signed Frank Gordon Juniors as a UDFA.
1:13:56
That's a cool one. I'm happy for that. That's a fun one to
1:13:58
be able to see. So there's a real one from a legitimate source.
1:14:01
Cameron Wolf reporting that that's a Buffalo Bills have signed UDFA Frank or junior to
1:14:08
the rosters. That's a fun one. Looking forward to that. I like
1:14:11
it. Good times all right, Anthony, thank you to you so much
1:14:15
of these last two shows. As me teaing you up to talk about prospects
1:14:18

1:14:32
sports show overall. Look at the draft. Some of the favorite draft classes,
1:14:36
especially a couple in our division that annoyed me into guys. The Patriots
1:14:43
got Jalen Polk and Jabon Baker. I don't I dislike that strong hand and
1:14:46
Drake may Man like that's a potential franchise turning around draft class man, do
1:14:50
not like? Do not like? The Dolphins got Mo Kamara and Malik Washington
1:14:57
and multiple of my Jalen right now, Jaily Wright and a chain in the
1:15:00
backfield like they're just everybody. Everybody just runs a four to three on that
1:15:04
whole gross. It's just gross. So I'm gonna go through that tomorrow,
1:15:09
and tomorrow on that show, I will be making the announcements of our winners
1:15:15
of the one past sign ups over the last two months, who have won

seeing how we award that Tomorrow on the Great Time SAT Sport Show, with
1:15:26
an overall look at the entire NFL Draft class and some of my favorites and
1:15:30
least favorites. I'm gonna make fun of the Falcons. Man, Yeah,
1:15:32
that's wild. I still can't believe they I still I'm still in shock that
1:15:36
they took they took Panics and they took them where they did makes total sense.
1:15:41
