On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn from Cover 1 for the four in a five-week series consisting of full seven-round Buffalo Bills mock drafts. As always, The Draft Network simulates picks for the other 31 teams in the league, leaving Aaron and Patrick to select for the Bills in real-time without knowing who’ll be available beforehand.The guys agree to not draft wide receiver Chris Olave for a third straight week if he’s available at pick No. 25 and are left with a dilemma when he’s there. They end up getting guys in the first two rounds they don’t think will be there in reality before coming to the same third-round pick they’ve had in all four rounds. Patrick’s upset about missing out on guards in round four and they fill the remainder of the draft with position battle candidates. To be perfectly honest it’s not a mock either guy feels great about, mainly because it feels unlikely to play out as this did.Before the mock draft the guys spend a few minutes talking Stefon Diggs’ new extension and Jordan Poyer wanting a contract as well as Patrick embarking on MCU movie binge and wondering why people bother going to concerts to spend half of it recording video on their phones.You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716 and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s Casual Friday on Talking Buffalo Podcast for the first time in over a month, which means Patrick Moran is joined by Noted Hockey author and Maintenance Day podcaster Joe Yerdon to discuss a variety of topics, including some potential contract dissention looming between Jordan Poyer and the Buffalo Bills, a few sneaky Bills early draft candidates, the Sabres continuing to play excellent hockey and a “Starting Five” draft consisting of Best 90s Sitcoms.On the same day Stefon Diggs signed a monster four-year extension with the Bills, Poyer signed agent Drew Rosenhaus to represent him. Based on that and some tweets, including a deleted one from Poyer's wife there could be some trouble on the horizon between Poyer and the organization, as Poyer has one year left on his current deal. The guys discuss that and several items related to the NFL draft coming later this month.Also, the Sabres continue to play hockey that's drawing fans back but that didn't stop fans from relentlessly booing Terry Pegula recently. Joe has thoughts on that and Devon Levi not joining the Sabres at this time. That, plus their draft of Best 90s Sitcoms and much more!Follow Joe on Twitter @JoeYerdon, be sure to listen to Joe and Lance Lysowski’s “Maintenance Day” podcast, and subscribe to his Noted Hockey substack.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn from Cover 1 for the third in a five-week series on Wednesdays consisting of full seven-round Buffalo Bills mock drafts. As always, The Draft Network simulates picks for the other 31 teams in the league, leaving Aaron and Patrick to select for the Bills in real-time without knowing who’ll be available beforehand and unlike the first two Bills mocks, this one allows for trades to be on the table.The guys have went with defensive tackle and wide receiver with the first Bills pick in the first two mock drafts, respectively. Having the ability to swing deals this time around, the guys do move up once during the draft and are stuck with some difficult decisions, especially in round two when Patrick and Aaron disagree over who the pick should be. Ultimately it's a decision that's likely to rattle the cages of Bills fans and speculation should it happen during the actual NFL draft.Before the mock the guys spend some time discussing Doug Whaley, Stefon Diggs, Josh Allen and potential early draft positions people are expecting (cornerbacks) as well as maybe one most aren't, linebacker.You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716 and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn from Cover 1 for the second in a five-week series on Wednesdays consisting of full seven-round Buffalo Bills mock drafts. As always, The Draft Network simulates picks for the other 31 teams in the league, leaving Aaron and Patrick to select for the Bills in real-time without knowing who'll be available beforehand.Last week the board played out oddly, leaving big need vs talent questions for the guys in the first two rounds. Ultimately the guys chose value with defensive tackle Jordan Davis and and running back Kenneth Walker III in rounds one and two respectively. Will the board play out much differently this time?Before getting to their second mock the guys spend a little time examining if Ryan Bates' return to Buffalo eliminates the need to draft a guard early, why we shouldn't forget about Brandon Beane's attempt to sign running back J.D. McKissic and cornerback remaining the team's lone glaring hole on the roster going into the draft.You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716 and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

Chad DeDomincis subs in for Joe Yerdon on this Friday episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, joining Patrick Moran to talk about former Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel’s return to Key Bank arena as a member of the opposition on Thursday night.One of the most talented and polarizing Sabres players in franchise history, this was a game many fans and surely Jack himself had circled on the calendar. If you’re a Sabres fan the game played out as good as one could ever hope----Eichel was held scoreless while both Peyton Krebs and Alex Tuch, two pieces Eichel was traded for both put pucks in the net in a 3-1 Sabres win that felt as electric inside the arena as it has in years. After the game Eichel was extremely petty in his comments. Chad has thoughts on that and plenty more stemming from this game and an organization that perhaps uses this big victory as a springboard going forward.The guys also discuss the Buffalo Bills as free agency draws near and much more.Follow Chad on Twitter @CMDeDominicis and be sure to check out Expected Buffalo, which offers incredible premium content for just $5.00 per month.Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, the tone is somber as Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Joe From Queens to discuss a bunch of takeaways, mostly gut-wrenching and heartbreaking as the Buffalo Bills saw their season end almost unfathomably over the last 13 seconds in Kansas City on Sunday night.The guys talk some of the things that went wrong, including some of the most horrific coaching decisions we’ve ever seen, a defense that laid an egg when it mattered most, the loss of Tre White finally fully felt and a defensive end position that simply didn’t get enough pressure on Patrick Mahomes.Despite the horribly hard loss to stomach there were some positive things to come from it—most notably the ascension of Josh Allen these playoffs to true league superstardom and the official league-wide coming out party for second-year wide receiver Gabriel Davis.All these topics are discussed and much more.Follow Joe on Twitter @Buffalowins Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
