Bills Draft Scenarios To Have Confidence In

Bills Draft Scenarios To Have Confidence In

Author: Blue Wire April 18, 2025 Duration: 51:11

It's another edition of The Podbag on today's Talking Buffalo and Patrick Moran is responding to several comments, questions and takes submitted by listeners including a heavy dose of Buffalo Bills draft topics.

With a million mock drafts and opinions out there, someone asks Patrick to identity five things as it pertains to the Bills draft that he's actually feeling confident about. He comes up with five, including the likelihood that Brandon Beane is going to have to move up from pick No. 30 if his target is one of the two most talked about defensive tackles in the draft that feel like perfect fits for the Bills, Derrick Harmon and Kenneth Grant. He also expresses confidence the Bills are going to a wide receiver among their first three picks after feeling the complete opposite during this entire process while thinking running back won't be addressed much if at all next week.

Patrick also responds to a take that it feels like 2022 all over again where the Bills feel pigeonholed into taking a cornerback first, such as the case with Kaiir Elam a few years ago. He explains why he doesn't really think that's case but also admits he was perfectly fine with the Elam pick when it happened in 2022.

More Bills topics are covered as well as some other things as well, including understandable wrath from Buffalo Sabres fans that Keyvn Adams is clearly being retained and no excuses to not lock up Alex Tuch longterm.  That plus two TV shows discussed, Wingnutz, 80's hard rock and more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
