On this episode of Talking Buffalo, we're just two days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft and Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Anthony Marino to put out a list of bold draft predictions as it pertains both to the Buffalo Bills and the rest of the National Football League.

When it comes to the Buffalo Bills it feels like everything's on the table, especially after trading Stefon Diggs a few weeks ago to Houston. There's depth to be had all over the roster for sure but receiver feels like the one glaring need going into this draft. That puts many things in play---ranging from going into the top 10 to land Rome Odunze, moving into the middle of the first-round to snag Brian Thomas Jr., a moderate trade up or trade back to take a receiver first, or to not address it all with the first pick, seeing there's a lot of day two talent at the position. The guys offer predictions on how it's addressed, including Patrick being convinced the possibility of Brandon Beane trading for a veteran bona fide number one receiver being very much real despite the salary cap challenges. In fact, in three "bold" prediction scenarios he sees the Bills moving up from 28 to 17, but not for a receiver. As you'd suspect, Anthony has plenty to say about that.

Patrick also paints a picture of a non-receiver in the first at pick 28 with a large trade up leap into round two for a pass catcher and lists his three most likely candidates.

Anthony has plenty of thoughts as well about player and trade options for the Bills and a few bold predictions to offer of his own, including big swings at wide receiver. That plus the guys take a stab at a few crazy things that happen around the league with the draft and much more. Be sure to follow Anthony on Twitter @AnthMarino
