Greg Tompsett Talks Bills, Draft & Lindy (Live From Sonny Red's)

Greg Tompsett Talks Bills, Draft & Lindy (Live From Sonny Red's)

Author: Blue Wire April 24, 2024 Duration: 1:14:10

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by popular Cover 1 content creator Greg Tompsett for a conversation centered around the Buffalo Bills and the NFL draft, recorded and streamed live from Sonny Red's in Lackawanna.

The NFL draft is now less than two days away and when it comes to the Buffalo Bills, it feels anything is on the table and especially at wide receiver. The guys hit on a myriad of potential scenarios on how Brandon Beane can address losing both Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis this offseason, primarily through the draft. Greg has thoughts on possibly taking a home run swing into the top 10 for a guy like Rome Odunze, more moderate trade ups for Brian Thomas Jr. or Adonai Mitchell, staying pat at 28 for a wide receiver or even trading down. Plus, is Greg even married to a wide receiver with the Bills first pick even if it's their biggest need? Greg also talks about the possibilities of a few notable veterans worth trading for and if the Bills can find money in the banana stand to pay for it.

Also, Greg shares insight on a handful of non-wide receivers that he could be happy with as first pick selections and some day two and even day three picks he's pretty high on.

That plus a little shifting of the gears to talk about the Buffalo Sabres bringing back Lindy Ruff to be their head coach again and much more. You can follow Greg on Twitter @GregTompsett and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo podcast Greg does alongside Aaron Quinn at  Cover 1.

Special thanks to Sonny Red's for hosting the live taping of the podcast. As Patrick has been saying for quite some time, Sonny Red's may be the most underrated restaurant in Western New York when it comes to ridiculously good wings and brick oven pizza. It's just minutes from Highmark Stadium at 1841 Abbott Road.
