On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation for their weekly chat, this time focused on counting down the Buffalo Bills players likely to be most instrumental to the team’s success this coming season.

To make things a little less obvious the guys disqualify Josh Allen from the equation since he’s the clear but number one choice. Patrick runs down his list with Matt having insight on each player and if he agrees with where they’re placed on the list, and at least a few at or near the top may surprise you.

Not on the list are a handful of prominent players and Patrick explains why he doesn’t have James Cook, Khalil Shakir or Matt Milano that while important, aren’t in his top 10.

Also, Matt has some thoughts on Amari Cooper, Von Miller and Rasul Douglas all remaining unsigned this deep into free agency as of this recording. Plus, is it now obvious that the Bills are taking a cornerback high in the draft? That, Stefon Diggs is reportedly running at full speed again, potential NFL surprises this year and much more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
