Good morning mr. brown how are you -- There marker felt it more -- I don't say well that's -- it's it's. A good. I can't do the math whatever it's been since noon yesterday. So after all is said and done yesterday Chris you do what everybody else in the room did yesterday you listen to what the bills say. You take what they say you're trying to read between the lines and reach some conclusions in your mind what conclusions did you reach yesterday. -- -- -- -- An analyst at him. Chris what's -- -- -- work. Here okay Chris we Chris didn't want to -- reestablish the line. -- back. On the show. We'll talk more about the draft yesterday I think you know we Joseph and I both came in. Well one of maybe the first conclusion we reached yesterday it was we thought wide receiver was out of the -- correct and I don't think. You know -- I don't think -- -- -- did anything infected he backed that opinion up this morning when he resigned -- so I think that's out of the mix I think it's offensive tackle. I think quarterback that you and I both think now more so after speaking with -- that it's gonna be a quarterback. I won't Joseph. I'm not gonna get rid of linebacker still think this is like that little voice in my head turning don't forget about this. But I I do. Think it's opposite aquifers quarterback and I think it's quarterback and point and done again for those -- we thought about we talk about trading down. And nobody's said yesterday you can get a player ten to twenty might not be that different from a guy from one to ten which would make you think that you know they'll trade down. He's talked a lot about one more pick city GM always wants more picks but I think the fact that he said today he's a 100% certain. At ten they'll be a guide they love. At Ted on the board I now we'll bring back Chris Ritz. Some issues aircraft you can hear us now. I -- very OK so what conclusion did you draw yesterday from the draft lunch in your opinion. Well I mean I asked the question specifically yesterday. You know what grade are comparable between a couple of guys -- I think. And one guy -- a position that you feel -- people in the draft you know dealing the other way. And I mean it sounds like an obvious answer but you wanna hear from them. And buddy gave us that answers so they sit receivers deep space they've quarterback -- I think most of us would -- -- offensive tackle isn't nearly as steep. And so -- I think even if they like somebody like Michael Floyd who might be on the board here ten. It's one of the tackle as there and they like them just as much they're going to the tackle because. I mean they can talk about it here and as much as they like but. I gotta believe they wanna try to find a better answer or more definitive answer to air the more definitive answer that -- a import into play right away. And that category coming in the draft right now there's only cable that's in free agency itself. Unless they really don't feel audio guys -- worked the tenth pick it up as to tackle I think it's going to be an OT. -- the rescue -- -- but it was just dial that's and we asked him well Joseph brought up you know what's the depth like for tackled in the draft any mention that. Typically you see was like three or four guys commit and can play right away he said probably there's twice as many guys it's better than it normally is and there's twice as many guys who can do that. That's why I heard that Chris and I thought he gonna go cornerback. I mean. I can't -- it's about what -- the range there and most of the so called draft -- think. You know after colonial there really -- inning guy or taken any higher than fifteen and that's China outsider willing to the bill. You know most of most that it scouting services there are of the opinion that after the first -- or. You know you're really pushing to make it guys sit at left tackle I mean Bobby Massie and I player out of all Mets put. He probably second round pick probably gonna get taken off the border around where to -- stick around Cuba the content without him that he's at right tackle so. You know I really think -- you look at the draft board on average I've tackled trying to -- the board in the first round every year I think that the average over the last ten years. And it's probably happen again because it's a priority position. The question is you know. Want you to build value and is very tackled and here that they feel sitting in the value attempt. But he's never gonna reach for a player. And unfortunately we're not in a note just -- highly. We waited -- -- you know some of the top tackles and whether they're fitting that it can't -- we won't know until. You know probably Thursday -- What are your thoughts. Chris if if -- tackle and assuming close off the board. You know you you were out to -- buying -- doing all your draft homework you're writing extensively at Buffalo Bills dot com. If it's tackle which guy do you think. -- I tell you -- -- Martin from the start just from the standpoint of I think he's the best plug in play option. In your target I mean that should be there editorial they're obviously scooped him up and all happy that. You know I think with -- Three year starter in a pro style offense that note that put his hand on the -- three point stance and fire up the -- -- 60% -- 40% at. You don't really have to teach decked out a whole lot and I think. Another big factor. With the bills is they want Smart guys that talked about this before. And in Barton. As I know Joseph knows that we got to Harvard. You know the guy is got an IQ of the -- not just in football but. You know just in general intelligence so to me. Like Martin the best -- people knock them restraint he doesn't have great natural strength. But beyond that I haven't heard too much else now you know you hear all the pre draft chatter all sliding all -- first round pick. I'm well I'm a professional help but -- like -- -- -- a whole lot better than some of these other guys that are being mentioned. Now the think they were -- -- considered here too is all this chatter -- Minnesota about. They're still on the fence and they may not take a Leo at three. And I think if they take a guy like Morris Claiborne plane in the division where they got to play -- -- -- a year they got to play Cutler twice a year. You know went and Matt shepard's flight here -- -- secondary to match and and -- the best or on the board they kick in at three I think they really. Make Khalil slide a bit and obviously something like trade up to try to get him they wanna tackle that. That's why -- lyrical look at end up with Claiborne goes spirit to the vikings should be very very interest into the bill. Don't think they would trying to move up for India. I don't know I think body into that game elect to hold onto it picks since it weary here. I think moving back is -- more likely. Then moving up for buffalo which which body at that helped. Chris Brown was mostly journalists from Buffalo Bills dot com wanted to thoughts on the schedule -- a minute but obviously were talking about the draft because the draft lunch with -- yesterday 80305 -- to join -- 88. 550 to 550 you have any questions about the bills for Chris. -- -- -- -- Confident are you Chris that they will address wide receiver at some point I mean if they don't. Do it in the first -- talked yesterday about the depth at that position -- did point out they would like to get. Some speed to make life easier for Stevie Johnson so how confident are you that would still be a high priority for the team. I will be stunned if they don't take water in the first round I would be stunned if one does not come off the boards of the -- on date you. And the reason why it's you know yes and it doesn't really mentioned in the draft watching yesterday. They you have. Some speed talent on the roster. -- a lot of it is unproven. An untapped at this point and we've seen chain yelling about that this step get the most out of some. Less heralded players in the past couple years but I think what they need is a a more pop try to answer. At the position then hoping. That lower round picks an undrafted guys can come through I mean you look at the rest of the receiver roster. David Nelson an undrafted guys market -- or -- picked it is still technically a rookie and it never suited up and a regular season game. David clouding his belt around the league and really hasn't. -- -- go all Donald -- an undrafted free agents. I think they want to make a better investment. At that position -- to me that's the second or third round -- Now I want to circle back for a moment Chris two quarterbacks -- your opinion. State of the quarterback picture. For the Buffalo Bills Monday it was brought up a little bit yesterday you know Mckelvin is going into his final year McGhee resigned buddies at some injury issues. They they drafted a big corner they like -- Williams last year give me your assessment of the state. Of that position in particular and how and and here's the GM again saying you know you you really should draft a quarterback every year or so give me your thoughts about that position. I would agree with -- I mean with all the spread sets that you face now in the NFL. You have one injury and we've got problems I mean -- you have. I -- loose I mean how do you remember having 1015 years ago if you carry five quarters are routine that was more than enough. How did you probably -- six and you probably have water accused the standard practice squad. Because of all the force you respect your fate -- an athletic tight end where you need a quarter to cover one of those who stole. With that in mind. You'll never have enough and the only quality cycling new players. With talent. Are to the roster and so. You know you look at the injury situation that followed the built the last two years at that position. They're bringing back players that didn't make opening day roster and Reggie Corner and make this roster last year that can't. And then he brought back because they have an injury here with parents making the first play of the C ten in all hope in the opener against Kansas City. They don't quite get -- Spot again because they know -- opposite their -- in New England most notably twice yourself. That idiotic and I now it is necessarily going to be around that you were operating. I don't know I know I know -- I think that it could happen around want I think it very well could be. They obviously a physical corner. You know they need a guy that's got some people I don't know that -- earlier so. You are really I think -- starter this year it's probably going to be great parked on the other side certainly be figured into that mix. You know providing state healthy. But beyond that it it gets relatively and that -- Gupta bloggers the nice player but he's pretty much an inside guy and the senate package. Border so. I can I could see them and they want the question is whether comes around to around three if it's not about one. -- could very easily be route to around three but I think you can even get -- capable guy. In round or in this -- that it does so that he'd been Chuck Cook the directors Gary yesterday said as much as well. Chris Brown honestly journalist Buffalo Bills duck congress let's go. Give me your opinion on the schedule we were all talking about yesterday in the good in the bad what did you think of the schedule from top to bottom. -- I I felt they believe it's -- built many favors. Bytes by scheduling to division games info updates. I mean. To order with the with New England I think it's New England followed by the third night game against Miami. And -- what do you do in the air. -- updates to gain in five days those games one at some times to. And this -- -- to back the pact with a rodeo in England I mean. I was not happy to see that I'll think that -- the bill any favors whatsoever. To try to get up. -- it later and plated golf and that's a plane itself in against the patriots. I pretty clear on the -- pass. The -- to get off to a decent start. You know if if they are able to win the road opener at the -- I think -- position themselves to get off the best start much like they did last year. And then. Weeks portraits and at the bear. Actually open air and in your client. -- defending division champions. Patriots. Niners. Tech groups and we got to play the patriots twice in that span -- at the top well. Already know just what that built have to do over the final six weeks it's either then yeah it's great. That you know -- -- game. They got a hold gains in December they may very well need them because that was played golf with the meat from we order we. Yeah we're talking yesterday Kristi you're right if you could just somehow and the and the last part of that -- it is back to back road games with. Houston in New England -- knowingly used have to get the exact order if somehow you get out there. Barack I don't know miraculous five and 44 and five and you're in good shape the rest of the way which you gotta get through -- not be like three and six. It would be ideally gamers to over 500 and then you're really positioning itself well. To roll up some w.s there on the back side of the schedule and you know we've talked about the pills -- -- trouble finishing strong I think the schedule at that very favorably. For them to do that this year obviously helped result was a factor though that equation. You can read all of his work at Buffalo Bills dot com he's a busy guys always crank it out material about the draft in the football team and generally is the lead journalist. At Buffalo -- -- -- former WG employee Chris Brown joining us here thanks Chris for coming on a pleasure and enjoy the draft and all the festivities actually.
