This guy gave a great phone interview with the media after his selection.

As an Iowa Hawkeyes fan, I have really enjoyed watching Castro play. They were better with him in the field - which I attribute to his communication skills. He would be an interesting safety for the Bills, though I admit mainly due to my bias.

This was a lot of fun - thank you both! Hopefully without spoiling it for anyone else: Given the past Bills-Chiefs draft interactions, your selections for their first round picks made too much sense. I audibly groaned when I saw where it was going.

CJ West really is an interesting prospect.

Kaleb Johnson is from Iowa University, not that other Iowa school.

My dislike of the Chefs has reached the same level as my dislike for the Patriots***.

One of the things Keon said that “triggered” me was (him mimicking a conversation with a coach) “No, you don’t have to tell me why. I am a grown ass man. I understand.” I think that’s close to what he said. In past press conferences, defensive players have given kudos to McD because he always explains ‘the why’. I see this with younger coworkers quite frequently. They THINK they know ‘the why’ and therefore they THINK they are taking the correct actions. Sometimes that’s true. However, there are plenty of times where, if they had just been patient enough to receive (or even ask for) ‘the why’ explanation, they would have understood a little bit better a lotta bit faster. Im probably reading into that single statement way too much, but it did immediately catch my attention. Still, I agree, Keon appears a very thoughtful young man with so many good things going on above the shoulders. Really pulling for him to have a great offseason and to kick butt this Fall.

Do we think that his back-to-back concussions to end the season will have any bearing on the timing of a deal?

He wears the “C”. Glad to have him locked in for the next stretch!

One Super Bowl win and he becomes an integral part of the legend.

I loved that book. I even sent an e-mail to Mr Russert after reading it. He took the time to send me a very thoughtful message in return. I’ve always appreciated that.

I didn’t watch a single second (first time since the 80’s) and have zero regrets in having done so.

Oh, interesting! Barron seems to fit really well into that nickel corner spot. Do you see more out of him? Such a trade up would be giving up a lot of draft capital for a position where the Bills already have a great talent. Edit: Nevermind - saw that you answered the same Q later in the thread.

I will not be watching.

I hope that this is true. I will be one of those that is not watching.

Still salty

I am still salty as hell. McBeane are like Edison. They are finding a thousand ways NOT to invent a Super Bowl win.

Red helmets as part of the alt uniform? YES! Red helmets permanently? NO WAY!

I don't expect any surprises. If I did, would it still be a surprise?

You hear him. Anyone want to bet the HOUSE???

This is the year to fix in the draft both the interior d-line and the defensive secondary. The Bills need difference makers at both of those spots.

And the holding during the third and long was on the defender directly involved in the play. Just as blatant. Another no call. if it were a fair fight, your team would be sitting at home, just as they deserved.

If that holding was a call, then Coleman was definitely held on the 3rd and long prior by McDuffie. Another one sided call.

He did get it done. He got a first down.

Ridiculously bad. I cannot recall worse, actually. In KC, you must earn 11 yards to get a first down. I used to think this. Not after tonight.
