The list includes three wide receivers, an offensive tackle, defensive end and defensive tackle. It becomes obvious that neither Aaron nor Patrick are willing to move up more than a few spots. They also take a stab at the latest they'd be able to pull the trigger on getting one of two top linebacker prospects.They also review last week's mock that saw them go with wide receiver Josh Downs and offensive tackle Matthew Bergeron with their first two picks. Then it's mock time and again, while trades aren't mandatory they're definitely on the table.

Patrick Moran is joined by Joe from Queens to discuss some of the more notable moves, including the Bills losing their start middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds to the Chicago Bears.The Bills were hoping to find a way to retain Edmunds but that went out the window by 4:00pm Monday when reports circulated that Edmunds agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with $50 million guaranteed with Chicago. The guys have plenty of thoughts on the situation including if he's worth that kind of money and is Brandon Beane dropped the ball by not locking Edmunds up a year or two earlier.

Buffalo also made investments in retaining special teams guys, including Sam Martin, Tyler Matekovich and Cam Lewis.The guys also talk about some of the major moves around the league, including Jimmy G landing with Vegas, an offensive tackle cashing in with Kansas City and a pair of Bengals safeties finding new homes.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 513Thoughts on 10-3 Bills, Jerry Sullivan & The Sabres

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran goes solo and has several thoughts on the Buffalo Bills, journalist Jerry Sullivan being in hot water and the Buffalo Sabres.The Bills had a hard fought victory over the New York Jets on Sunday in wintery Orchard Park to improve to 10-3 on the season. Patrick goes over some of the good and bad he’s seeing from the Bills, including a defensive line that for now looks up to the task of replacing Von Miller and linebackers that are easy to take for granted to the other side---a first-rounder that can’t get on the field and adverse weather seeming to effect Buffalo more than their opponents.Patrick also has a bunch of thoughts on Sullivan, who made national media headlines for a bait-enticing statement as opposed to a question at the Bills post-game press conference on Sunday. That plus a few quick Sabres takes, Patrick’s inability to stay healthy in 2022 and more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
