Actual in both Anderson and Williams. I think the biggest problem -- could probably shortstop in -- so those are something like this sure respect are making Earl. There rushed the -- I think it caught then throw I am which bought turnovers are what they get -- You'd think the interest now go at a drop off at -- or somebody like -- or -- or eight people or something like. Melvin Ingram or to carry all caught up in your -- back. I -- I'll throw it out to jobless Kelly right away I'm John -- releasing a rich right there. He basically. Threw it out there and we prefer I know you have your newest mock draft I think number three is your latest one correct. After they sell the right and good afternoon -- Good afternoon maniac absolutely -- join us what what do you think about what the caller just asked him what direction that would go. Our -- in terms of I believe. I didn't hear everything he's. Well he talked about their. I have that's a perfectly fine eight would tend to think that defensive line it would not be. Part of the equation at that sent the overall pick out just because they actually. Turn now and learn that something that they haven't -- -- quite some I mean. That the matter its defense that sort of bad technical day. And they can bill you know at least four players deep any position so. I don't think that sense they would. Would be an ideal time -- but he Nixon Chan Gailey had been dealt playing. The fact of the matter of you know defensive end may be that first crop of they occur in the first. Ten pick because they they continually say they don't want to reach for a guy -- If they say that whatever different event that brought up -- first round you would probably think it's not what happened so. I would tend to believe that they're gonna go on the offense either attack awful wide receiver -- there on the border -- -- -- Then go from there. We'll get the proper welcome it is surgery now this is Joba scale you can catch might WGR five if he got Tommy -- is. And FL draft blog amongst other things that he covers the Buffalo Bills or with us here on WG RD joining us today -- sports -- Saturday Joseph has is. Third mock draft -- Joseph at number ten you have a guy that right now sitting here the guy that I would like to seek on the buffalo. That is Michael Floyd I think that more and more as we get towards this process to move along. I believe that that could very well be the pick for the Buffalo Bills. If it's not Floyd. Is there another receiver that could be at that spot because I would imagine you'd think Blackmon would -- begun but. Is a -- it is -- -- black majority gone if you want receiver. Yeah you'd you have an element at Alex loiter -- to that point I bet you would have to start looking up -- tackle made yet but Jonathan Martin. In the Horry Cody Glenn from the from Georgia. Or some people are are I have Riley right from Iowa I've. Not particularly if on the Internet potential left tackle prospect let. I mean after a lawyer in the bears. Their drop off for keepers that circle and with the Campbell -- who. Wasn't really all that. Impressive that the combined per day. And might be looked at as more -- -- receiver and then there you have it maybe from project got into the hill from Georgia Tech who you know lit up the Columbine but Evian. I he had 25 tool such as it is finally here at school because of the offense to architect plates so they're a little bit of logic there. Independent moving out there you have some. Some guys that might -- -- net. Fringe first round like the Reuben Randle are now strong jet Greek or or there's a few others. But but do you have them. Knocks on their games choke and or the receiver it's black -- border Floyd -- -- I'm pretty sure the bill wouldn't even think about polite out. Well let's for those people who either don't know Michael Floyd is or really are kind of skeptical what he would -- can you break him down force a little bit since he is the pick right now you have going to the Buffalo Bills. -- Michael Floyd is you know just under six foot or just under 240 policy he actually slowed down a little bit for the come by. I think he was playing around 245 ranger which has an apparently by any by any stretch of the imagination. I think it did it more so for the -- kind of a thing that's all the time and double Utley who has. Or or or unofficially I I don't robbery -- official. Forty tried percentage but. You know war leader when he was going through -- -- to become -- -- -- to field first he -- looked fluid -- You know just a natural path -- captured natural well water and and it's the type of guy you meet with the being. That being Kristen. -- Tommy res. As notre Dame's quarterbacks this past year. He attempted to its fair share -- accustomed to pull -- throw balls and and you know he's he showed the consistent ability to reaches -- away from his body and looked at ought to be -- And we go and get it means he he's got all the measurable you -- the only hit on him. It just may be a lack of maturity yet that. He's had a couple of do you lies leading up to receive your you Kirk and then then what you got -- senior season. He he he. You know he he kind of -- it's just kind of took himself away from that situation that he stopped going out in the outright destroyed. Do because they didn't like that contractors -- we term debt that the compact so. Mean there is personality -- -- -- in terms of games and it and what you can do on the field. I think he is the number two receiver right away -- Pete but with he potential to develop into a couple one Hershey Christians. A matter of if he maturity continues prolong war for you know he takes that accept the game. Joseph what I -- Do you think I'm correct to think that maybe just maybe the bills can be also looking at corner for this number ten pick. No you would be totally off base but I I have heard them say in the past and in the period interviews that they like the depths of the quarterback draft. So that leads me to believe these. Attempt stick and ball fly victory when except remorse Claiborne -- the floor for a quarterback mean you have to have guys out there that some people like populate straight actor. I don't think he's exactly write it for bills I mean even more of there's only the second quarter that doesn't really could just make a speech. That you're locked -- a quarter. -- in the built scheme. And that -- you know there's other guys which of course and -- has all the tell -- the world but I mean he's got major off field problems. Maybe Stephon Gilmore. -- from South Carolina put stated these are all guys who I don't know I just -- I would have problems with them. Taking picking one of them appetite -- brought back because not exactly it's brought to. Bill loaded to end and you know just the overall kept the draft -- that you -- -- solid third round quarterback like a smaller school -- I -- it be Josh Goldman from coastal Carolina or maybe a true main job to the Montana or some problem like that is there are those guys that are out there and they've been alluded to by the built himself so. I would have to think that. He you know offense might be the swing a year for that first for the tenth overall pick by the if they did decide you know treat downloaded and you know seventeen range so I mean better quarterback could be on their radar there as well. Agree how to percent I think that can be very well be a possibility -- and some breaking news out of the team or the last couple of hours they have announced that Tashard Choice. Has agreed to resign so Tashard Choice added to the running back depth which of course we -- you know with. Fred Jackson CJ Spiller however you out there wanna put them one or two Tashard Choice obviously. A guy that Chan Gailey likes he adds to the mix we'll see how he plays out it's harsh training camp but. Another player that has not resign. I wanna get your thoughts nationalized Demetrius Bell what's the update on him. You know as each state passes and at least. No rumblings I've been hearing things of that nature. I I roll. Less and less optimistic that Demetrius -- beat back both local. I think the fact of the matter is. He's a guy that. Before that he did release struggled. Should be consistent at left tackle him and he had it all walks. I mean he was the starter going into streets even -- really get first you remember picked him like he finally made some strides this past year and many other. In that's something that's been that's ravaged his career with the bills he. Through the -- receiver in the game started he. Didn't start in 78 out of 48 -- and that's something you really have to look at that built it may have a guy that they like Chris Hairston. They don't know he's going to open to a long term starter at left tackle but I mean at least there is the thought that maybe he could do it. -- with an attempt overall pick him potentially getting. You know. Meted out franchise left tackle you know strong. And you know long standing. Starter. As the left apple it could potentially -- that was the temporal brought back. So I would tend to think that Demetrius Bell where it -- likely play a different uniform next season. I know we've got interest from -- at no extra interest from the Redskins and I'm sure there a couple of other team mixed in there are so. -- -- from. Well what I what I think of the -- -- which peaking at the art and vision -- -- back. Joseph about thirty seconds left T go to the jets deal like it for them are now. I like the bill won't -- -- it's the that they create -- major major record than that. Locker and so it'll be interest in the seat just. How quick Rex Ryan and didn't intend involvement all elbows on the third hole the look out moderate Mark Sanchez. And go people. I can't wait to see -- Word -- she got one more before the actual draft to do more than that no. For more important what what is -- here I mean outdoor art and a program like every week right. Yeah pretty much. While that's great all right WGR fact that the dot com as we can find the draft blog of course and then of course act. Joseph -- underscored WGR. Joseph continue your hard work work it back in that film room and get the guy get the bringing -- glasses back on economic and Rick I know promise -- Australia did a great job keep us updated on the draft blog. The mock draft he's got four more coming your way that's rules anything to change between now and then could be trade between now and then. I expect the bills -- explore options with that number ten that the X bit to move down not to move up. But to move down at the -- and a good position. -- number ten. Yet Tashard Choice resent the bills -- just coming over a little while ago. Matt caller's gonna have that and much more on sports are sell the pot -- -- a sports talk Saturday. -- WGR. Lindy -- Begin tonight in Buffalo Sabres. It's time takes more your phone calls we've talked about a lot today -- on the daily wanna Chiming in about it what is the sabres in the next. Few games here coming up tonight's game how they played the difference Ryan Miller. The goaltending obviously -- snapper Tyler -- some of the the players are playing really well markets where they want talk like him. 8030550. Bills' draft some questions some thoughts you have after listening to -- the scale yet. We'll take those as well 803055888. By 52550. If you're if you're not local laws or getting some. -- tweets coming in thinks up those I -- at -- sports you can tweet you can follow me and also we are on the -- like 55550. And anytime to -- sports that number by the way by the fact that the breaking sports news gets sent to your Smartphone. One of the things that people are. Texting about and it's just boy so so you just never happy ever it doesn't matter. What you and I understand I understand that this team this organization has had a decade of futility. In the awful. But. For people complain. About them -- Money. After what we've seen for ten years. Is unbelievable to me as I said here. For people to actually come out well good. Washington in early -- didn't help that the bills are wasting my. Have you not paid attention for ten years. They've tried it the other way it has not worked. Is this a guaranteed formula to success. By spending a hundred million dollars well on one player no. It is not. But it sure is how is a little bit different than what they've done for the past ten years by going out getting second and third tier players in five and six of at a time. And spending ten million dollars here and twenty million dollars hair which adds up all that money anyway and and bombing in the draft. They're taken a different approach. Do you know what the definition of insanity is. Doing the same thing over and over again. Expecting different results. So you're going to text me or tweet me or call the station or tell your body down at the bar here at downtown before the game tonight. How ridiculous it is for this organization that spent money to bring it a couple of really good players high profile players. Just stop yourself for a second and try to remember how they've operated over the last ten years and what the results have been. And then get back to me. Why would you not want them to do something different than what they've done. For some it doesn't matter. Because it doesn't matter what they do you'll just find a way to complain about. It's really it's really amazing to me it is to get some of those texts and tweets and by the way. As I say to the caller earlier who called about that issue. Comparing what the bills did with Mario Williams to what Washington is done under Dan Snyder to what Philly did by assembling the dream team and spending money last year. Is not the same it is completely different. This roster had very little turn over next year those rosters that major turnover that is part of the reason. It does not work when teams spend money. Part of the reason is because. Of such roster turn over the chemistry is different. There are different guys with different coaches. There's jealousy involved could that happen sure it could actually -- guaranteeing anything as I sit here but I sure as heck know that I know. I watching this deeper ten years the the other way hasn't worked. How do you not know that how do you not realize that. They're building upon what they have they've re sign most of their players. Their adding up piece. Not just throwing money out there to anybody wants to come to buffalo. And spending on the best guys they can and getting rid of everybody else that's not in year that's not as what has happened I'm sorry. David your next and a BGR what's up David. And explosion are there always are aren't Christian belief that you -- I appreciate. Are -- our -- that they know that there are draft according air. I don't think that the left tackle opposition from -- -- we belong it's that you. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But it harmed competition. Eight will get my employees that -- receiver on Notre Dame. And you'd -- -- -- you know I watched Notre Dame locked up. I think that the excellent. Equipment because the bill. The is it. You know prominent I agree I think Michael would be good -- -- I think -- we said Michael would be good in those kind of Charlie's breaking up their little bit but. I think offered to tackle looked as I sit here right now the draft is a month from now. I just about a month from. There's it unless they -- -- I think the the options go this way I believe as it gets closer. As it gets closer I believe they will try more and more to move down now that's just my opinion. I don't know anything different I'll try to investigate George all the and that to -- we can hear anything. Okay. I believe that they will try to move down as this thing gets closer closer and people realize they want guys in that it becomes more valuable as your closer is number ten pick overall. If they keep the pick I think the optionally -- first option. I think they keep the pick number one option to me is wide receiver number two was offered to tackle but it is very close -- one -- one -- in whatever order. I think that's how they're going to approach this. What I also believe. They corner cannot be ruled out if Claiborne falls that is a guy that was seriously look at. Some like streaker Patrick could be -- I think that is a position that is the title wildcard here. Corner is a wildcard position. I I was really all over the they Melvin Ingram according up shop bandwagon draft and then at ten last month but now they have Mario Williams they don't need him they have Mark Anderson they don't need those guys. Yes they need linebackers absolutely. With the latest front seven is gonna work the way this front seven is gonna -- make no mistake about it it is about the front four. Those linebackers just got to fill some -- the illegal sideline to sideline makes some place. This front seven is about the front four that's not being built. So I'm not sure they wanna go spend number ten on a linebacker at this point. Germaine you're next on WGR what's up Jermaine. There won't be all about it and call in the comment about more on the negative -- -- -- with it didn't and that money and often that. I don't want didn't. If you -- -- it. In the middle of the last it is another you know that within the next month. So popular that on the latency and four other -- may -- by the buffalo. It is not about what. And it -- it is something they call a personal note this problem but when it comes to do. But I don't think it is. Well it is the outcry award on both look dated a lot about. The law. Or manipulated and as -- he had was training camp look at the -- -- -- it is that it's been awhile ago. -- -- -- I -- lesson and anything can happen I mean there's always the unknown factors. Injuries happen in training camp. And I think that's the one thing -- a look at why they'd -- it would get it and it's so easy to dismiss well they signed Williams they signed. Anderson while Chris -- must be cut why. Maybe they maybe they do something like that but. You need you need more guys. I mean let's remember let's look at the wide receiver position last -- going to training camp it was considered the deepest position on the football team. -- week fourteen. It was probably the most depleted one of the weakest positions on the football team. You need -- -- in this league guys get hurt. You can never have -- pass rushers. What -- you it'll take you never -- of corners I agree with that. You can never had to pass rushers. You know I look at this defense right now. In the way they're structuring it. Number one you do need an extra corner. I do think that you're gonna have to fight some more depth in the middle of field as well at the safety position on top affected jurors -- is a free agent at the end this year. So you get to address that position that situation as a port I like George Wilson. But there are some issues -- shall have to address here. Kelvin Sheppard the man in the middle as I like to call me is the name in the middle. Mean he's he's unproven and -- -- -- played well at times last year he also played like a rookie at times last year. So it's not like all of a sudden with a couple strokes the -- there than that the top five defense this week. But there are certainly much better they are so much better I can tell you right now. Right now as I sit here I think of three games off the top my head three games. The day I think would have won if they had Mario Williams Mark Anderson. At Cincinnati. At New York Giants. At the New York Jets in every one of those games the quarterback made the difference in the end. And a big play may have made the difference like in the jets' game when they had to bring pressure from somewhere other than the front four and it helped them. Converted big third down. Three games at city at the giants at the jets. You give me Mario Williams you give me -- Anderson and the other side you'll give me a front poor pass rush I think the bills when those games in the situations they were. Now we're talking nine wins. That's the difference in this league right now and that's the difference with this team. Just want a real quick -- to Joseph because -- got some important want to say Joseph it's not going to be GR. Helped it like it talked about favorite -- -- couple weeks ago we talked about saint Bonaventure and we knew they went one game in the tournament possibly do they fit figure them out to thirty. Don't beat the bright -- real close. Don't be surprised that they went. There are real they're not just wanna give you. Rick good cello in -- bunny. Now about two thirds Murray said. -- -- Got a man got Notre Dame I believe they're playing right -- -- to make sure I was gonna talk about that today. Lot of things went on the airplane noted in -- -- so there ego goes saint Bonaventure women go Mac college sports -- sell pot -- will wrap up the show after this right. It's spring. It's baseball next week -- are gonna bounce a little baseball each other give you our picks for the 2012 Major League Baseball season. And we'll take yours is well if -- we does that sell sports -- Matthew WGR rated text -- 55550. Once segment last year and forced out Saturday. Joe Buck of course I don't what is this music under this is pretty cool stuff like this what does this this week and baseball men. That's right. Hamm mad. Mel Allen you've got absolutely. If it I grew up on that's not untreated to actually but -- that stuff man you know. I was and the Mel Allen version by -- this week baseball before it came mall. Sponsor rise to where every little segment I ever did that was brought to you by something and it just you know it was like is there any sports served. Okay that's just a little aside how about that look at real quick to get to our Major League Baseball predictions by -- and I've also run through very quickly. The NFL there's some rule changes that are being proposed. That the rule he's being proposed so you wanna check them out to about Beckham has a list them some good ones with the bills. We never get up there actually -- one of the teams that -- proposing new rule and that is for the replay to be taken upstairs in the Booth and not be held. Downstairs so he -- -- legal under the hood and decide he actually has the replay official in the -- decide I like electoral. Lot of good ones on their loved the fact that they wanna make a rule that basically says you can return to government reserve I've always thought it was stupid that he put any -- injuries -- just done for the year so. Lot of good stuff there ask our rule changes and proposals he checked out at the -- -- now -- opinion but the bills did. Propose one of those rules okay. Mack collar guy at the Mac about how the voice of a buck -- -- -- when your season start. -- Met tiger Doolittle MLB predictions session here and the show let's start the American League Matt let's go the American League east -- like. I think that the yeah Tampa Bay Rays are gonna win the American League east. I love the fact I picked up the Yankees picked up ticket from Seattle with -- name -- -- getting data. I love him I think he's gonna really help out the rotation Chamberlain hurt as bad for the Yankees. Not enough offense the rays -- like yankees want a winning that division again let's go to the central. Well central is tough -- not have much preparation for this market. -- Some. Who are you -- -- I am going to go with the Detroit Tigers. -- yet I was like taking your right Prince Fielder that's right okay that sign over there right. I was thinking maybe a little bit of a dark horse being the Indians now that they have volume although Jimenez full season but. Yeah now that the tiger should -- west he got two good teams out there Iowa go first I will tell you. On the take. -- yet take the LA angels I mean bring in our pool -- -- -- -- good pitching staff they should. The Rangers are still so strong on the Rangers for a I take the Rangers were one of my wild cards then my other wild card will be with -- -- raise your team for the division we like the -- to welcome to your. -- I wanna say that ball wild cards commodities wanna say it's going to be all the Yankees and -- interesting interesting at Red Sox -- a lot turn over we'll see okay. National League east. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- They have to make up a thirty -- effort to catch Philly I don't see that happening -- I like these are the Phillies in Activision Eagles -- yes. It essential here's my upset special I am going with Milwaukee again. Even though they did lose Prince Fielder even though they had the Ryan -- situation although LeBron is coming back we know that. But the Milwaukee Brewers I think that they're still really good baseball team and be quite honest. There's no real division that you really like jumps out at me anymore. Well I think Cincinnati's comeback and I also think that despite the fact that they lost Albert pools. That the cardinals are still really strong team big concern there. Chris carper has got some shoulder issues that's Chris carpenter's not help the cardinals are really struggling in the league right back cell. I'm gonna stay out of Cincinnati okay. West's. Then. It's kind of like I mean Arizona Kirk Gibson did a great job I'll take the Diamondbacks again. Sunny San Francisco gets Buster Posey back in that's where there extra couple wins come -- we -- disagreements going on here I likes it ran to catch one of those wild card spot. I do like the cardinals -- otherwise it's yeah I was gonna go Saint Louis in Philly for my two wildcard spots you don't think the Marlins rebel -- I just don't I don't think they're quite ready for that I think it's gonna take years sort of put that team together that we really want -- On the -- again we'll -- referred elect Washington billion teams like that didn't football okay. American League champion who -- the World Series okay. Full disclosure I am a yankees fan I am taking the Yankees I have to do they're -- -- and they're still pretty darn good. All where is the Rangers I. I think that the Rangers surprise everybody although it's tough not to pick Detroit -- -- getting prince -- others is really -- and they they still have that Verlander guy but. I think that the Rangers are going to be a little bit of a surprise the -- that they're being overlooked because they do all the crazies in the offseason. What about the nationally who comes out there. -- -- -- -- -- mean there's there's so many teams got a bunch together I could see the Phillies doing it this year putting it together with Halladay and Cliff Lee. Coming out as a wildcard going to the World Series my upset special I'm -- -- a -- like the broker I think -- got enough pitching still they're gonna get through. They're gonna get in and they're -- just pushing the team like Minnesota every year that just. Everybody counts out but they do a great job of managing pitching whatever. I like yankees over brewers of the World Series we. Let's see who I am more answers ominous okay I'm gonna say the Rangers beat the Phillies are very okay. Thanks for joining us today don't forget 6 o'clock sabres -- 7 o'clock against the Minnesota Wild 630 tonight and an Indiana Syracuse Ohio State lead eight. ESPN radio up next on WG.
