Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Anthony Marino of Buffalo Rumblings for their weekly chat, this time focused on some fun training camp storylines looming for the Buffalo Bills as as well as a movie review of "No Hard Feelings."There's been a lot of chatter going on with the Bills lately, not all flattering between the Stefon Diggs apparent drama with the organization and a mixed (to say the least) reaction from fans following the announced extensions of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. Rather than beat a dead horse the guys decide to focus on a handful of storylines that should actually be fun to watch unfold when the Bills start training camp in less than a month, including how rookie Dalton Kincaid fits into the offense right away and a potential running back battle between free agents Damien Harris and Latavius Murray.Patrick also has a review of the brand new Jennifer Lawrence film "No Hard Feelings" that hit theaters last weekend. That plus a resumption of the "Finish the Sentence" segment and plenty more today.Be sure to follow Anthony on Twitter @AnthMarino and check out Buffalo Rumblings, featuring written and podcast/vidcast content pretty much daily.♦♦♦♦♦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.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Aaron Quinn (Cover 1) for the fourth of six weekly Buffalo Bills seven-round mock drafts leading up to the real thing beginning April 27th. Unlike the first three mocks, there's actually trades today. In fact, there's multiple trades that not involves picks but a veteran player.In this mock the Bills explore moving up options before deciding against it. When going on the clock at 27, the Indianapolis Colts come with an offer appealing enough for Buffalo to move down eight spots before making their first selection. From there the Bills are offered and accept a trade from a conference rival that essentially nets them a solid veteran receiver in exchange for a fourth-round pick.The Bills only end up making four picks with this draft, three who'll actually be expected to contribute in 2023--but there's far more to this story than just that.You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716 and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast♦♦♦♦♦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.

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.
