803 is the time. It is WG RN FL draft central -- -- -- was -- sell -- -- at -- -- on sports like -- producing. -- big crew in here tonight and we will every night up until draft night when the crew get even bigger. The NFL draft is a week from Thursday. And we will have full live coverage of the entire first round including much to do an analysis and interviews and thoughts and comments on what the bills do. Now with their pick that night at the moment there at pick number ten. Lots of ways to participate in the phone -- an idea showed tonight you can do so on the phone 8030551888552. By fifty. The lines are -- at the moment but if you wanna unions in somebody's done they hang up that time you can call and you can also get in on Twitter. You consented to any of us at Brian WGR at Joseph the underscored at least you are or at sells sports however we'd love needed just. Send it you don't get the -- any of us just dual hash tag the number similar. WGR draft central and we'll get it that way and -- out but using here and looking at all those questions you can also text us at 55550. Nothing nothing in both the NHL games right now but to halfway through the first or later for first Boston Washington and -- the Rangers and -- if the scorching -- give you that. I'll go back to the phone that's try to do a fire through a lot of calls in this segment and Ludacris and Amber's next like Chris you are on WGR. I can't think Scott -- a couple questions Sergio ones that come. How do you feel that the bills are taken a quarterback comes in around 456 maybe just to have on the roster. As a back up and queue up bomb. On offense relate to that question is that -- -- like -- problem I dislike your thoughts on guys like nick folder and -- camera carnage or Kellen Moore. That's just -- you think. Vickers thank you Eric -- well I think the fourth round would be an ideal spot to take your developmental cornerback because they have to fourth round picks you could still addressed and need and you can even giggled -- little little. A luxury involved with with getting quarterback in there the guy that. That I tend to like there is is I do like what Russell Wilson brings the table as long utilized in the right way. And I mean maybe if that BJ Coleman from Chattanooga drops down to a level may be a rise in lately from San Diego State who I mean. He was wildly inconsistent at San Diego State but when he threw a great pass me and it was a pretty one. Or maybe somebody like in Austin Davis who throws a nice ball Kirk cousins that might be a little bit too late for him he's probably going to be a third round or something like that so. I think I think one of those fourth round guys are going to be. There for the taking its first Kellen Moore goes I don't think he should be could be drafted I've stood by this ever since I've seen him play. I mean small. Doesn't have the arm for its meaning as anticipation he's at best a thirst for a while. Cousins GR remember he telling now one of our draft podcasts had a very nice compromise let me. Didn't remember the quarterback out of Michigan State which kind of vaulted him up from that later. In the draft to those -- then Mitterrand and maybe even third. The mechanics are spot on with -- the big issue is decision making. Man trying to force -- where it's gotten that something needed -- it's a lot that's the thing is going to have to overcome if you can overcome that as a -- tendencies are tendencies robberies. -- playing in an ice frost off at the Michigan State -- not any sort of you know working is thirty sort of specialty just at the college game so it's got that going for two for Libyan. -- of the Big Ten thanks Chris for the call 8030550. Is that the number let's go to Jack in Amherst next on the line hijacked you're on the -- -- -- got a real we're glad you guys doing the show I'm real excited for the draft much in terms of the year so all the lessons I wanna talk about two things. Or school I know -- you mentioned in one of -- -- two years ago about maybe two bills moving up to that fixed around there to dish. So the most up to draft and the political will still be there. What are the odds on that. The -- from the beginning has Synaptics floors and that both the Cuba's political circles. But I know a lot of the mock stressed recently that I've seen that -- all aboard by the time the those particular a lot of teams that doesn't. -- a lot of the -- precedent saying that the jaguars McNamee -- for him to their signing of Lee Evans yesterday mic stand a little slick slick. An -- -- the last 11 no Lee Evans doesn't make Jack thank you Jack and Lee Evans does make a difference. One where the other they're gonna take that wide receiver. -- Unless black and also them I'm not sure that they will take the receiver it's just the way things are turning -- so. Fickle just two weeks leading up to the draft and everything changes to. Drop of the dime but. You know. I don't think Lee Evans influences that at all their top two receivers are still -- Robinson and Mike Thomas and their third receiver is Cecil shorts. So. To me they could still stand upgrade there. What was the first question again Ryan. Oh just about quarterback in Korea quarterbacks know it was about hillside that was a that was a -- Khalil Tripoli Berkeley. Odd how much trading up at all I don't think. Don't think so buddy nix is gonna give a topic. He has only going to improve his picks well in terms of you know either gaining one or flipping a third for second or something like that but. I don't think -- you're going to see him actually 21 way that. It is needed. They took care of with Mario Williams like if if they said hey there is the next Bruce Smith. At pick for a while they may be adding a discussion is more likely but they took care of the number one need and now because there is -- debate. Well -- an officer -- is receiver is a quarterback is because of that discussion there really isn't the actual. We have to get a starting quarterback we have to get a start like there isn't that discussion and that's a good problem for the bills. And that's why would definitely say if anything if there's any movement it's more down and out. If Khalil dropped to six it could get interesting but I still don't think they were pulled the trigger he dropped eight. -- would be nice at at at what date would Miami trade with them no absolutely not if you drop in ninth he's going there -- brother but it didn't go to Carolina -- -- -- -- and I'd. Don't envision Mac Leo ever becoming about global must assignment free agency for years from now. 810 is the time to leave your address and a continuous -- back to the calls a. -- -- -- fear of them are identical look out bat and -- -- negative about ignores it can detonated just like Josh Robinson's second -- Our -- I don't know what it is and all your players. But opted to GAAP footballer now one of extreme. How much you don't put it to read at all -- issues you know what the draft but. KJ thanks I think it says I've answered this in it for other things to I think it's a case by case thing and in the case of two -- Jenkins. It's hard to overlook the off the field things with him I do. Inevitably think he will go somewhere in the last quarter of the first round. A lot if you remember last year Jimmy Smith the talented corner from Colorado. By a lot of accounts the most talented player at his position last year. But he dropped to 26 I think it was to Baltimore. Because of those those concerns about whether or not he would be able to shake them once he got the professional level now to Norris Jenkins. I think at one at a certain point you have to analyze okay. At what point does his tail on the field because. Don't get Iran to -- Jenkins is. In my opinion is just a notch below -- Claiborne in terms of talent on the field second most talented quarterback in this draft but -- B the second quarterback off the board absolutely not because of those concerns so at what point. Does his overall talent outweigh all the other concerns you have about it worth going that it worked at and that answer usually comes at the end of the first round. And that. -- -- mean if the bills if some if if either of those guys fell to them at the second round spot. They have to consider it right assuming they don't pick quarterback at picked and start. And he also asked about Josh Robinson I mean when you think about Josh Robinson the first thing that pops out years is the -- by numbers she ran a 433. At the come -- and Andy you know 511199. And he's he's a talented guy and the big game everyone looks to with him is the 2010 Liberty Bowl when he was. Faced mono. AJ Green and healed itself -- Green had eight catches for 77 yards. But you know Robinson was and -- had for a good portion of time he knocked down a lot of passes and I think I think he's a good talent I think he has a chance of being their 41. They just brought him in for a visit today so he has a chance of being there at 41. They don't take a quarter at tenth overall. Then I think he's right there in the mix for who they might take that second spot. -- updates you on the Stanley Cup Playoffs the caps have scored Chara was in the box and salmon scored for the capitals -- one nothing Washington. Late first and a late first and -- nothing nothing between the sends. And the Rangers let's keep continuing to get your phone calls -- -- -- open for the first time to jump in if you've been waiting 8030550. 1888550. To 550 will get to more the tweets here coming up send us a hash tag on the tweet at WGR. Trash central south -- she'll get us a couple -- here coming up but let's that at least grab one more call before we do that. Mark in New Jersey is with us now hi mark here on WG -- had. Good evening got a lucky that they're talking about quarterback and you heard it on an earlier they like to draft the SEC I believe it's gonna be Stephon Gilmore from South Carolina it was going to be that guy Italy. Miserable that their positions see how -- you have a big. The second fastest forty current among the -- or Jenkins Kirk Patrick consultant on the general Caldwell typical network -- but all -- but I think you'll be the guy outside of there's not much a corner war and certainly he turned 32 this year. The sultans pretty much kick returner at this point and Aaron Williams look promising but under a lot last year. One picture got opinion on I think he's been an -- actually be perfect fit the bill. -- mark thank you Gilmore has been flying up the ports. You know three year starter at the gamecocks came out came out earlier this year as the caller -- great size. And great speed for the position -- 61 around 1195. You know the one -- you like about him is he's really able to close the gap when he's trailing receiver. And -- no doubt that type of thing you you really love the Seattle quarterback especially in a talented SEC. Where you have a lot of great athletes at wide receiver. The things that that bugged me a bit about him I mean he has made tremendous strides. In his career but you know kind of -- of pour tackler doesn't really wrap up ball that well likes to go for the big hit and that's something that Kirk Kirk Patrick does too. But I think with with Gilmore. He would be a good man -- man to man guy in and with Kirkpatrick I think he's a good fit for zone. So before talking scheme this specific in what once that wants to do. -- -- for Patrick might get the edge in that sort of capacity but but you know Gilmour has. I guess. I wasn't that high -- when I first -- -- and then you know you have to always reevaluate yourself because you know other people saying he's he's very good he's very good at what he does. So I went back -- him a little bit and saw some more things I like but. You know I'd do I think he's -- district of Patrick. Hey it's it's tougher gamecocks defense. Captain in a lot of games Lester sure they have a lot of great athletes on their Melvin Ingram. I mean they've got to feature -- on cloudy with the number one high school recruit last year. Gosh I can't remember his name but the the other defensive end. If you came out the threat on the tip my tongue to. Something -- it if you if you came out this year I think he would have been a first round pick he's a defense event. In it it's just they have. Athletes all hole in the field on defense and I mean if they actually had a good quarterback on the on the -- train -- Stephen Garcia they would think about it this year. Three interceptions for Gilmore last year in the SEC game you know. A lot of chatter people ask that you guys got this about Mike Wallace the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and where you know this could affect things what about the bills and I'll just say that. Listen I've been read a lot of stuff trying to investigate this there's been some rumors about and he's being interest of every time it seems like teams -- -- Mike Wallace. He comes out that he's don't want too much money if your -- if you want Mike Wallace in buffalo. That's just not gonna happen because he's gonna want so much money. To be that in -- to have the -- so much -- him as another -- she was Stevie Johnson and treat form it's easier to draft the wide receiver. Because of the pane of glass the way the CB is structured out and how about this do they have the cap room for a ride because they -- about nine million left exactly what FitzGerald money that's not gonna happen Mike Wallace and an investor money at least -- -- if he does -- great for him and great for his agent. I will have I do this really like this one poses to us from Sean took a 53 on Twitter guys gel free you of the QB's that have visited OBD. Largest of these QBs in general. Who do you most like to see. The bills take -- -- cousins Wilson our ops while you get one of those -- doesn't matter regardless of where they drafted him we think fits best. With the bills with the Bill Russell so it's down -- his his ability to move. Is what gives him the -- in that capacity. I know he's got -- concerns but I think it would change it would be able to scheme around that as long as he's only at bat he's. I don't think you ever be. You know week in week out starter -- but I think he does have a place in the league. And I think he can come in and haven't a good spot start for ever once again he's a good guy to develop cousins to me. In L. I think he's as solid. West Coast type of guy but is he fit for what the bills are doing probably a to a guy like last week Brian -- like rain and we now I I. I just think that you -- -- first round brother yet he fits this offense terrific. Yeah he does very Smart spread offense. I like him at the of course between nine year old thing scares you but. I would not be oppose having their candles. He's he's probably gonna end up in Cleveland Browns uniform if early round two literally around 02 or even the 22 overall pick if they feel threatened. I know I've I've read a lot of Bowden and an old boss works down there so I've heard plenty about it -- They like -- a bunch. One more call here before we go again another update. -- in west Seneca is up next ties act go ahead you're on LB GR draft center. And that -- -- I just wanted to know like to say that those that any quarterback at any point -- first round. -- A -- Big -- prohibit them from doing so and or if they did do it. I mean very big it would might my doctors in Huntington area three and a quarter cabinet -- -- bad. State money out. But I think draft picks at this point would be some minimal cost and you're taking him that low is -- it would matter I think I think he's talking in terms of sleep and too I mean just overall that taken that. That I don't have the cap number on on the top my head but I know it's somewhere around there but. I don't think it. The him being on the roster takes them away from drafting a quarterback in the fourth or fifth round. I don't think that they'll cut Thigpen if they'd end up taking the quarterback. I think they wanna bring a guy that can compete and have three quarterbacks on the roster they carry to the whole way through last year they wanna develop a guy and you know what better than to have the best one that's suited to your offense in a guy like Russell Wilson. And lasts two and it's just so loyal there was guy Thigpen. If they drafted a guy around four and five and they thought he was just as good as they can be found them releasing him into the money but I know it's not it's it's not gonna happen it's just. Just the thought and then in the fact that. If they also they have another quarterback we known -- Smith and have a lot of money locked in him to something needed on a whim honest -- they can have that's it. NFL draft central presented by do you Belk college educating for life and also brought to you in part by outlet liquor what's your outlet. And buffalo. Men's health practice your ED Andy's Frankel he'll jobless -- itself a pot yup. Time -- your with a updated 820 don't forget Jonathan Martin the -- to tackle from Stanford to join us. At 845 so one last chance to get your phone calls got a couple lines open 8030550. 1888550. To 550 here's another update on the Stanley Cup Playoffs and we're back with more after this on WG. He got attend. The third to last pick in the draft on the seventh round compensatory -- yes. Guess it's a -- there would you rather have more picks that'll aspects yes. Right which you rather have ten dollars or five dollars. ITunes five that that's -- it. I'm a minimalist right. There -- enough enough. That is the expert their jobless -- I'm saying that he would rather have five dollars and ten yes Frankel deal here with joke. -- the -- just checking your text in your tweets were gonna get to some of those in the second. Like she producing Tom sits given the updates on the Stanley Cup Playoffs we'll get another one in ten minutes from now your phone calls welcome 8030550. NFL draft central. Every night seven and nine up until next week's draft which of course will be all over the first round of bill selecting -- at the moment and a you wanna check out Joe's latest mock draft check it out at double the GR. By fifty dot com were excited because tomorrow. At 7 o'clock. The NFL schedule. The order that dates. All gonna be released we'll find out. And most importantly the light of the prime time game what -- the bills are gonna get one I think it is Thursday -- going to be Thursday a Monday I do not think it's going to be Sunday night and it's going to be a Thursday airman and although I do think it will be home. Think -- about the nose and I think they notice that the atmosphere is still good the bills at least on the record and said. We have until the league will light 119 even though we know may be that image was out there in the past so. Don't cartridges so you'd -- IA I don't think they're gonna get home one and I'll tell you why I think that every reading everything about the news that it believes in that upgrades. I also read that is not conducive for that the HD type of product that television needs these days. With the type of technology they have down at ruffles and stand himself at the biggest problem yadda I don't think any network is really gonna wanna do that it's really about the atmosphere but. I thought I remember -- you've probably correctly in this. I thought police at every team we'll -- -- Thursday -- specifically yet they'll have a Thursday game so every team will be on Thursday night but -- It it's a matter of okay they got -- in the going to get another yes. Getting cute the buffalo used -- game could be attracted to ESPN -- -- If that is that -- -- in -- that. This week in the -- to -- the schedule which again tomorrow. This schedule let's just hope the team is good and you're excited -- the team playing well because there's not too much to get excited about sound terms of the actual opponents there's not that. Now hey this -- the game you wanna go see because. What I thought -- gonna -- or this teams coming to town it's it's it's it's an ugly scheduled which could be good what you mean it when it's that flaming arrow. You know I don't the most exciting into the schedule might be the most anticipated game pre season game one. Yeah good diver Greg -- Robert Griffin's debut with the NFL well Redskins got a tough for. -- I mean Lee Evans will return how the sandwich axis slightly back yes the bags they have such a huge following here in Western New York that either one superstar I guess you'd say out of the division like Brady and -- and those guys. Would be. Chris Johnson come back again for the Tennessee Titans I mean that would be -- the -- I mean Tennessee's not driving a couple that had taken off the Seattle's in the NFC west is the worst division in terms of excitement but but. I'll agree. Terms of -- Joba Tebow will be here and our AFC south and heartbeat over west. OK okay you -- it Manning yeah I've subtraction of Manning a -- -- -- -- and he and Indianapolis already and one note that aren't here here they are at Saint Louis San Francisco being better help him Cisco being better rate I was like -- I want to -- Sony's mr. he's phenomenal all of the -- opponents -- quick at home all the divisional teams the jets patriots dolphins. Also Jacksonville Tennessee Seattle. Saint Louis and Kansas City. And on the road have the division opponents as well as Indy with most likely Andrew Luck. At Houston at Arizona an answer for -- the road games are attractive. Up. -- -- Nice stadium -- at this at Sanford Cisco that's a nice place to go at Arizona that's nice weather nice and go to. What's he'll enact Houston and Houston yeah Mario Williams I like it. Traveling to those four games would be fun. Let's go back to the for technical at 305 of the market Grand Island is net next time -- -- at least younger I'd. Yeah hey I didn't well. You're doing well why don't. Thank you. And it. -- -- little. Girl. And -- And. I it was though a deal like emerging out like him what are you. We everybody can -- to mark we know that Saddam had. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Eight catches for 77. I'm mark thanks appreciate it yeah we had touched on that a little bit you know Robinson I think at 41 would be. An ideal spot for him if they don't take a quarter in that first round I think. I think he's a solid player in hell he his production in terms of interceptions went down from his initial season which was -- freshman year here at six interceptions that -- yet to. And sophomore to two in his junior year but you know the past -- copper were there I mean Robinson to me he is the type of guy that. In L has the skills that translate to the NFL and you know buddy nix has jumped to the Central Florida pool before in the second I'll throw troops so right I don't know that really has any sort of link but he's not afraid of taking guys from that school. So -- Josh Robinson. Despite playing against that type of competition. You know could make some headway here if the bills and take that corner in the first round Mikey ten more -- next here on the show go ahead Mike you're on the air. Hey -- -- do whatever it. Good guards that -- -- a little bit -- surprised stick -- what Mark -- from Alabama here. With the -- voting -- has to Alabama. You know he could be in the picture a little bit you know he's a big safety 6221 -- fifteen pounds can move around field. What as the quarterback of Alabama's defense most I was told people where to line up on the field. You know missed last year but the two previous years before that it's very very impressive numbers are we making ability. What do you guys think about that maybe possibly -- surprised ticket number sent. I think it's an interesting scenario I think he's being brought in for pre draft visit for a smokescreen to be perfectly honest. They have George Wilson who they rarely like they have -- bird who's going into his contract year and you have to think there's no way to let him walk. Those two guys make up their starting contingent they have Bryant got to on the roster on one year deal they have to -- your secret they like. I just can't see them taking a safety. And you know which is where where is what is he doing he's just going to be solely covering the tight ends that's -- -- Brian Scott's job that's why they resigned him. I I can't see that happening I think he's a very good prospect. And the reason. I think there's a good reason why he was brought in for a visit you know he's one of these guys are there some picking up some steam as the draft process is going along. That's a lot of the reason why Agassi -- -- in for visit tomorrow you know -- to me. You always hear these rumors to -- interest did. Phillies interest -- he's not gonna get by the jets but you know just keep going up and up and up the latter if some team wants to make sure they get him the bills say hey you -- Aaron. It might take -- Corporate bring about the c'mon at trade and make us trade down so you can get your guy and I think that's the that's the ideology that. Getting several texts and tweets coming in our hash tag WGR draft central on Twitter -- -- -- you are participating in that tonight and also the text on -- lot of people asking about. Tight end -- cleaner. What do you think about him and just address the tight end position overall as far as you can think that's the direction the bills might go at some point mr. I think Chan Gailey is the type of coach that says gimme -- anyone out there at an economic player. So if that is the case they re -- with Chandler -- that -- up with Chandler. I don't know that they would spend a particularly high pick on tight end. He's not exactly the best blocker but that's not exactly -- prerequisite for bills tight end. But you know he he did have some good stats last year ten touchdowns last year for the Stanford Cardinal but. Is he would -- is the media in that second round consideration. I would be skeptical I think you're going to see in no particular order the following positions get drafted in the first three rounds. It's either going to be offered to tackle wide receiver linebacker quarterback I think. Out of those four -- you can find 33. Of them in the first three rounds in the probably used the fourth rounder on the. Chip I agree I think those are definitely the needs and I don't think you know until we're getting in around seven were likely doesn't matter I don't think we're gonna see running back at all but I wouldn't be shocked if let's see of any curry felt the 41 I know for a fact they the defense staff. Is pretty high and Betty Currie. They might be -- enough to take him if he's there. It's it's a different scenario might make Chris Kelsey expendable Mike -- Shawne Merriman expendable but that also has been thrown in the mix as well. 8030550. Mike in buffalo next hi Mike go ahead you're on WR's draft central. They guy's gonna pull my honorable president sitting I thought was maybe into -- material like the fourth round if you felt that our. Realistic about it come under forty -- four point five speed. That'll pretty good guy. I would I like -- I'd like I think you have to look past puzzled at third they're. Inflated. Based on the offense to please and but. You know good hands good speed but I. -- right now on their roster -- like Austin and on and on and got Chandler. So yes they're going to Bradley Smith and Lee Smith was there blocking specialist. So I think they can stand to upgrade at that at that position put some depth there. Maybe now dependent might cost and make the roster and in its fourth round may be too early for me be. Might be able to find a -- in the fifth round match or where he slots out just yet but they are picking him up he's got the size I can I concede that. We we talked about the schedule and again that'll be -- the focus of our show tomorrow at seven. But the bills have the thirty easiest schedule this based upon. Opponent winning percentage from last year only Green Bay in New England -- easier once amazingly enough yes because really. New England buffalo play the same teams they just flip -- yet to count we. The bills played England and -- place buffalo which is why it makes it there's. There's easier guys I think that the team that really holds a lot of the cards in this first round. -- re report and more coming over today Cleveland Browns really lot of teens aged in their pick but here's this. And I don't agree with this at all says the browns are split on whether to take Justin Blackmon or right -- hell. Citing unnamed sources according to Sports Illustrated. The browns general manager Tom -- is sold -- -- a president Mike Holmgren is weighing where the team should go it's gonna help here's my thing. It it what Richardson. Right right up there is lost -- I think so PayPal as well -- Kansas City monetary artists the it is. Constantly injured he's an honest person and idea. Anyone Mueller know that they have to go Richardson I think it's the Smart pick the right pick and it's the waits. Potentially get it and he's going because you know -- -- veer you know. There at wit's end with the current state of things especially on offense they were. I mean did you watch any browns games last year brutal. Awful brutal watch awful and they have an offensive -- coach -- they need to -- him some guys and the best way to do that have -- at the odds on favorite to be the rookie of the year I once watched paint dry wasn't that kind of similar. I think it was a little bit more exciting -- -- depends on the color. 841. When we come back the expected conversation with Stanford tackle Jonathan Martin so it stayed tuned for that and one have.

Tackle from the Stanford Cardinal who Libya hoping to hear his name called very early on next Thursday from now on -- Jonathan Martin from Stanford. And -- -- this year on the line right now -- of the good evening thanks for joining us. -- -- Very good to just where's your excitement level that right now the drafts and your name being called era coming up the almost a week away from now. What has been building up about double digit lead off tried to look stay calm and enjoy it and I -- you've -- columns. These are there enough -- open alleged gunman who did that are called early. Tell the people here in the buffalo area and all the bills fans just. Maybe a little low introduced introduction to yourself maybe for those that didn't get to see Stanford play that often this year. What kind of player aria and if you added up and bills uniform what would they via excited to see. What is on your eyes and played -- post office last couple years side not achieved so much from the -- office. On the I've been playing well the best quarterbacks multiple -- in the last decade are. I in all your early. Are we gonna tell them where I'm unclear. Did you don't particularly -- give them my all and I'll be humble hardworking and -- it -- Now -- John -- then you came to buffalo for a three draft visit just how well did that go you know talk about it what it what it's like to be on a pre draft isn't over one bills drive for for some fans out there who'd you talk to route to meet with things like that. Right I know -- our scrapbook article. And -- group that you have -- office like social strict social everybody. All round up on the -- visit I really enjoyed it on my -- -- all the Olympic Stadium and I thought he really -- You never upload built. Any thing they do on that visit the canister it out like maybe you know. I'd show you what it's like John on game days by old footage her things like that and anything that stood out to yet. All Lucy went out new carpet like social you Dunham boarded. And we talked through our office and then some from there up inside on board looks -- protections. And -- some of that and then walk and don't. And I'll probably do is -- are being netbook go to target and we're all Smart coach and not a drought that is not too -- -- what are the support and. Stanford offensive tackle Jonathan Martin with us here on the line on draft centro is he of course. Opening hear his name called as early as possible next Thursday for the draft. Jonathan south of -- you're here thanks for joining us. A question about how. You would react to someone. May pointing out that you played in the pac twelve. And not against maybe the kinds of deep fences. That you may see the SEC and someone could use that against you when it comes time for the draft what would your response -- of that. -- I don't know it by that group certainly are with good -- -- -- his partner of fact well armed. We won't get as much -- somebody else that's true -- as you see it certainly for our conference you want all these acquisitions in the world. Our outlook would look up to and a -- ultimate -- you occupy diplomas you've -- as well yeah I know it it gets real criticism but affordable. John and in the offenses that we see in college sometimes we know always don't necessarily translate and up to the to the pro game and help. Necessarily offensive lineman maybe this carries a little less weight but the offense he ran at Stanford. For the most part we know you we're with Jim Harbaugh who had a great year with the San -- 49ers so. As I got to help at least your confidence I would guess not only you but Andrew Luck and some of the other guys that may have NFL aspirations that. Basically you're playing in an offense that is almost exactly what the pros do. Bright is definitely a lot of advantages to playing offense like ours are well labeled -- they're very similar to lot of built in what was going up and on first aspect you know glad to record. Because -- apple more -- here on both got beaten up because don't really nicely to a strip went down well. How how closely did you follow coach Harbaugh this year and -- trip to almost the super -- Well it was amazing run they had output probably gray coat pocket a little department did this well that. Well I -- -- as well closely integrate your thoughts and it. What's -- year experience in the huddle with Andrew Luck maybe -- -- obviously it seemed as though every expert has impact going number one overall to the colts. Tell us something about what he's like in the game on the field in the huddle that may be we don't know about. All right you don't get laid back I'll go on as normal -- and I'm almost every student. All the want to talk he'll -- just convert your -- anybody else. One really great exclude gains or does greatly Brookfield. -- I think. People hobbled maybe doesn't get as much credit for you level competitive playing -- -- but you know you seem a person remote you'll see that you convert them for. Jonathan where you watch in the draft -- anyway. Ought to be home in LA with -- what. Vertical well good luck to you John that we appreciate you coming on. And hopefully we'll get a chance to catch up with you at some point when we talk about your pro career thanks again. -- Jonathan Martin offer to tackle from Stanford. Still quick thought there we got a twenty seconds. I think he he's going to be drafted with in the first couple rounds and Mitt. He might be bit of a better fit for. The right side but you know he definitely needs to Attleboro strengthen. And I I think quite honestly he's going to be a type of guy that. No you can depend on down the line is he right away starter maybe not but Smart intelligent guys can just tell by the waist -- he's talking to him he he's he's he went to Stanford so he's got a stuff. Yeah you know upstairs he's got together started 37 out of 39 games during -- career left tackle. And plain Smart up and so intelligent why you think he can handle a transition to the pros yeah. Okay that'll do it I was a quick night one would back tomorrow at seven NFL schedule comes out then. South thank you Joseph thank you as always Mike Cheever producing Tom sits on the sports I'm -- you think you'll all who called and listen in text and -- it. We -- tomorrow at seven for more of NFL draft central here on WGR Sports Radio 550.
