00:06 Go.
00:07 Go.
00:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:09 The wide receiver out of Texas.
00:13 The speedster out of Texas, who ran a 4-2-1-40,
00:19 the fastest 40-yard dash ever in combine history.
00:23 Xavier Worthy, the 28th overall pick,
00:26 made by the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:29 So Blewett, over to you.
00:31 We asked why.
00:33 Our answer was, well, the Chiefs probably
00:35 traded with Buffalo, the team that has knocked the Bills out
00:38 of the postseason three of the previous four years,
00:41 to go up and get an O-lineman.
00:43 That's the only way Buffalo would make this deal.
00:46 In fact, we were wrong.
00:47 Buffalo trades with Kansas City, and the Chiefs
00:50 get the guy we all mocked to go to Western New York.
00:53 So Blewett, again, please try to come up with an answer.
00:56 Why?
00:57 OK.
00:58 So the Bills lose Diggs and Gabe Davis.
01:03 They have 11 picks in this draft, Warren.
01:05 They cannot get over the hump of beating
01:07 the Chiefs in the playoffs.
01:08 So I guess if you can't beat them, join them.
01:11 Just allow your nemesis to take a position
01:14 that you desperately need.
01:16 This is a confounding move by the Buffalo Bills.
01:19 How do you trade with the team that you cannot get
01:21 past in the most important games of the year in the playoffs,
01:26 and you give them the wide receiver they so desperately
01:29 want, and your team, as you indicated,
01:31 has lost multiple starting wide receivers?
01:33 In fact, last year, Buffalo had five different wide receivers
01:37 with 20-plus targets.
01:39 Four of the five are no longer with the team.
01:42 On top of that, they traded Stephon Diggs.
01:44 Gabe Davis left via free agency.
01:46 Only Khalil Shakir is the one who remains.
01:50 We were discussing maybe the only way--
01:52 I thought this trade was dumb to go trade with Kansas City,
01:56 the nemesis of your team, from the jump.
01:59 But the only way it sort of made sense
02:00 is if Casey gave the assurance that they were going
02:03 to draft offensive line.
02:04 You don't need offensive line.
02:05 Maybe the wide receiver that you want will still be later.
02:08 Nope, not happening.
02:09 They go up, and they get the speedster,
02:11 giving Patrick Mahomes the weapon he desperately needs.
02:14 Rasheed Rice suspended, likely for some games
02:17 to start the year.
02:18 That fills that void as well.
02:21 I'm happy, in a sense, that Xavier Worthy went,
02:23 because I needed him to go.
02:25 But this makes no sense for the Buffalo Bills.
02:28 And I will say this, Sean McDermott,
02:30 if this team cannot get to the Super Bowl this year,
02:33 Josh Allen's cap hits are set to absolutely explode.
02:37 They will get up to $30 million in 2024 this year,
02:41 go up to $61 million next year.
02:44 This team has had so many years of low cap hits with Josh Allen.
02:49 Even after giving him that restructured deal,
02:51 that big long-term contract, those cap hits
02:54 were minuscule for several years.
02:56 They bought themselves a lifeline,
02:57 and they still have not been able to have some success.
03:00 If they do not get to the Super Bowl,
03:02 they've got to look a different direction.
03:03 I do not think Sean McDermott is the answer for Buffalo.
03:07 (upbeat music)
