Episode Details

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to discuss a handful of Buffalo Bills and NFL topics, including some data uncovered that shows the Bills taking a cornerback in the second round wasn't nearly the reach many critics thought it was.

Buffalo Rumblings (the Bills blog on SB Nation) had an article published by new lead content producer Chris Trapasso with data that shows that non-starting Bills cornerbacks have played plenty during their lengthy/current playoff run. So much so, in fact that it makes their second-round selection of Davison Igbinosun feel a lot wiser, even though he's not projected to be a starter and may not be a starter for years to come. The guys discuss the data and cite examples even casual Bills fans will remember from recent playoff failures as a reason why you need to have not just depth at cornerback, but the highest quality depth possible.

Also, the NFL draft has come and gone and we're nearly a week into May, yet eight(!) of the Bills top 14 defensive players from last year are still unsigned free agents. What does that say about the talent from last year's defensive unit and/or what does that say about former head coach (and de facto defensive coordinator) Sean McDermott?

Who are three current Bills players that it would be easy to be completely undecided on how you feel about their prospects for the 2026 season? Patrick takes a stab at it.  That plus Matt does an AFC reverse power rankings, which NFL team could be the league's biggest flop this year and plenty more.
