WEBVTT - First round draft recap! 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:08.559 The Around the NFL Podcast builds through the Draft. Welcome 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.320 back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:13.640 My name is Dan Hansis and I am joined my 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:19.040 room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Connor Or and Greg Roles. 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.320 It thought, what's up, boys, what's happening? Let this happening 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.320 at listed in order of importance. That means I said 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.960 in first. So I'm feeling good about that. Uh. This 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:34.280 is are Round one Extravaganza post Round one of the 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:39.080 two thousand fifteen NFL Draft, which occurred tonight in Chicago 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:44.479 at the Auditorium Theater. Um. You know, a lot to 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.680 unpack is that's a that's a term to use when 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.400 you want to, you know, unpack an event because there's 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.880 so much to talk about, and there is. Thirty two 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.920 picks were made today. Dan is giddy and goofy right 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.760 now with the late Long day. I love Itabah and 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.200 I Connor or here. I mean, how many times has 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.760 Connor been in the studio with us? Twice? Oh man? 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.360 And we got the gold standard behind the glass. Who 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.240 is Uh, he's a little frazzled right now. He's got 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.639 his head set on it. He's I've never seen Gold standing. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.240 We went through six different tribes from five lines right now, 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.839 I think can hear us right smoke, So everybody knows 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.119 like it took a little extra time to get going today, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.480 and um, you know Chris Westling and Kevin Patrick in 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.600 Chicago for the draft somehow. You know, we're doing a 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.839 test to make sure they're on the line. Now, Zach 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.240 can't hang up the phone. They they they're remaining on 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.080 the line, and it's almost like they're trapped in like 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.160 a really bad like Ashton cut Er horror movie. It's 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.840 like they wanted to get off the line, but the 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.800 line would have let them. They're stuck in shy down. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.600 Uh So anyway, all right, so that is the state 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.800 just as we're gonna talk about, you know, the only 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.600 podcast in the game, folks, that we go right upstairs 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.480 after a long day of work and we unpack round 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.600 one and hopefully by the end of the show, the 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.200 Gold Center does not have a nervous breakdown, because that 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.920 would be bad. This is his second to last show 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.240 with us before moving on to greater things. Feeling very 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.120 fragile right now. You're a you're a powder keg right now. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.320 So yeah, that's older. We're gonna go through the first round. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.720 We're gonna get the guys on the line, or they're 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.239 probably stuck on the line. Cut your style right now. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.600 We'll eventually talk to them, maybe hear them crying or something. Uh, 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:30.640 so we'll look forward to that. So why don't we 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.560 just let's get into it. And I figured the Greg 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.520 will will start with you, the boss. You know, you 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.040 have a lot of great insight on the world of 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:43.240 professional football. At the top of this draft. Uh, nobody 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.320 was surprised Jamis wins the number one, but number two 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:53.000 after all this talk, Marcus Mariotta stays with the number 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.320 two pick with the Tennessee Titans. They move forward with Mariota. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.760 And by the way, I didn't say Titoons because they're 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.360 the Titans, because they're back on the grid. Wow, and 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.920 we have to apologize. You know, I thought this whole time, 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.280 they're just puffing up Mariotta, puffing up that number two 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.120 spots to get the Godfather offers. And you know what 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.800 they got them. I mean, the Browns are offering two 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.600 first round picks plus more. The Eagles are offering Fletcher Cox, 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.960 Michael Kendricks, a couple of Chip Kelly's illegitimate children two 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:29.320 first round picks or whatever. Genius Wilson and the Jets 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:30.880 might have been in play in the sixth pick. That 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.600 maybe that was a rumor, but they clearly they were 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.560 taking phone calls and weighing what what would work and 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.600 what would it work, and in the end they made, 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.840 to me, which was the right move. They decided, we're 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.040 gonna take this guy that's supposed to be potentially a 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.320 star quarterback for a decade plus. And they're back on 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.760 the map now. I mean they really are with and 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.400 they're clear about it. They said, immediately forget this Mettenburger nonsense. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.040 That was the only bs that they were uh, you know, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.120 shovel in the last few weeks, Mariotta. They expect to 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.200 start day one and that's it. They're not trading. Hum nothing. 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.360 Did I see on Twitter that Mettenburger's agents are already 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.000 chirping that demanding a trade. That then, does he remember 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:09.800 that he was a sixth round pick, he barely got 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.200 drafted last year. Well, I can understand that. Why there 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.720 might be a few hurt feelings if you're metten Burger. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.120 After they spent the last three months crowing about this, 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.680 but that's life. And he went through all that trouble 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.919 of organizing all those team workouts by himself, those practices. 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.120 It reminds me of Mark Sanchez, Jet West Camp so 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.599 Southern California. So if you're the Titans, you would rather 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.640 have Gunn or would you rather have Mariota or would 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.480 you rather have Fletcher Cox? You know, Brandon Boy and 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.680 Michael Kendricks in two first round picks. I think it depends, 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.160 like do I know how to use them? You know 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.919 what I mean? Like if if I'm like I didn't 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.360 like hearing Ken Wisenhunt say like, oh well we worked 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.440 him out under center, and like he's gonna he's gonna 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.240 fit into our system, and I think you have to 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.640 you have to know how to like It's it's like 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.760 buying a really expensive sports car that you don't know 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.640 how to drive. And if you don't, then take the picks. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.160 Let's be honest with the Hunt doesn't have the greatest 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.679 track record working with anything but Hall of Fame quarterback talent. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.160 Maybe Mariotto would be that good. Well, but you're right though, 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.919 and you wouldn't. I think when he's got that Kurt 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.120 Warner type guy or a big bend. He's his offense 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.560 is very functional and he's he's he's rolling. But does 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.000 he strike you as the most innovative and creative schemer 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.320 that can set up an offense? That's exactly what you're saying. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.599 It's a it's a tough quarterback to just plug in 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.760 and say, we know how this is gonna look. They 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.800 have a quarterbacks coach from Scranton, though, so I'm not 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.839 worried about it. Scranton's own Connor or one of the 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.119 most famous people from Scranton side of Jim and Pam. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:35.800 I was gonna say, now that the office is kind 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.640 of fading a little bit from the cultural uh A 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.200 state of mind, it's now Connor's time to rise up 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.080 and be the most famous. Meet Kevin White, Joe Biden, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:50.920 Hillary Clinton once a year. Plus we get Mariota week one, 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.640 and you know that Titans bucks assignments a little interesting. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.520 Maybe you guys don't want I'll give it to myself 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.919 beat myself. So yeah, that, I mean, that was the 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.720 big thing, uh in the second pick there that that 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.679 was exciting. And now let me just take a look 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.599 at the rest of the top five. Why don't we 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.120 take a look at it. Uh, Dante Fowler Jr. Went 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.560 to the Jaguars, the defensive end out of Florida. That was, 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.760 you know, filled a need for them, hard to get 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.000 on them. Uh. Some people thought they would go get 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.960 a wide receiver to give Blake Bortles more weapons. Instead 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.200 they go with the defender Oakland Raiders. They jump and say, hey, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.080 give us a Mari Cooper, Uh, the wide out out 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.080 of Alabama. So let's let's go with those two picks. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.680 What do you guys think about those? I think with 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.400 the Jaguars, you know, they were six in the league 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.000 in sacks last year. You know their defense was for 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.440 stretches horrendous. But you're starting to see more and more 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.840 Gus Bradley type guys there and the excuses are starting 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.560 to run out if you can't win some games with 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.040 your defense, and it's time to do that. I think Fouler, 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.960 I mean, you know, we let's not pretend that we've 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.880 watched of Fowler tape Bend the Edge. I don't know 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.480 in the Raiders picked which sorry Cooper has the highest 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.479 rating of any player from NFL dot Com. Was that 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.839 one of all the pass rushers that seemingly didn't have 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.120 some big black mark against him recently, whether it was 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.960 an arrast or psychological evaluation or didn't really produce. So 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.320 he was the one guy that everyone agreed on was 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.280 the guy Jacksonville. I mean that defense could be pretty fun, 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:23.240 pretty good, little mini legion of boom. I was surprised 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.640 that Oakland didn't take Leonard Williams. That just seemed like 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.680 he really wanted to be taken by the Raiders. He's 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.160 a Raiders fan. USC A lot of people at him 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.000 as the best player in the draft, and then they 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.560 go for receiver, feeling like, you know, they got to 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.320 justify their Derek Carr pick. But I'm not sure. Well, 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.960 I don't have a problem with him getting what could be, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.840 you know, an absolutely difference making wide out they haven't 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.400 had that. He's supposed to be real good. Yeah, I 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:50.520 like that move. This just makes me no. I like 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.680 how you described that. What I said, he's supposed to 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:58.280 be real good. That's probably accurate. Him and Crabtree, you know, 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.440 they're they're looking a little different. Ja James Jones, Andre Holmes, 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.880 I don't know. You you bring up Brandon Leonard Williams, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.560 who you know once he fell to five, everyone said, oh, 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.080 the Redskins are in a great spot. And then this 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:12.720 was the kind of the first big curve all of 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.880 the draft, because here comes the Redskins to the podium 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.000 and what are they announced? They take the guard out 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:22.040 of Iowa Brandon Sheriff, who was a top ten pick 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.560 on a lot of mox. A lot of people saw 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.560 him going to the Giant, so it's not like it's 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.840 a crazy reach necessarily, but people are in love with 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.679 Leonard Williams and believe he was a lot of people 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.720 think this guy is the best player in this draft. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.520 So when my New York Jets came up in the 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.200 next pick, I was feeling good. I said, you know what, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.960 I know, we got Mo Wilkerson there. I know, uh, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.480 you know, we're pretty We're stocked on that defensive line. 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.600 But just don't trade it. Just take the best guy. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.040 And they always missed the stuff up, so maybe they did. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.280 But when they did take Leonard Williams was six, I 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.800 was pumped up. Greg think about this, how about this. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.720 You got a little Mo Wilkerson, you got a little Snacks. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.360 I love Sheldon Richardson all come after Tommy Brady who 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.679 can barely move. He's almost four years old. Oh my god, 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.240 Leonard Williams, it's gonna be a blood bath. It's not 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:11.240 gonna take a lay for super in the past, my friends. Now, 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.160 I love when teams stacked strength on strength, on strength 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.640 on strength, and just like take that. That's how you 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.320 should do it. So that they're so impossible to deal with. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:20.920 It will make up for the fact that they haven't 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.880 had a quarterback in thirty years. Well, one of the 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.080 most enjoyable aspects of this day. And I'm I'm being 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.760 genuine about this because Dan, as a Jets fan, has 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.560 struggled through and suffered through a lot of nonsense, and 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.680 a lot of it's come directly by their own mistakes 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.760 and choices. This with what the tape we watched this week, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.200 we were writing back and forth about Leonard Williams that 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.440 this guy is a badass in New York has him, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.480 and it is an issue for the Patriots because Buffalo's 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.560 defense and that Jets frontline is going to be a 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.920 major headache to deal with. Cleveland plays him in Week one, 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.160 they're gonna have twelve yards rushing. Yeah, and you know 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.160 you have Mo Wilkerson. Now, Rich the MENI of espn 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.320 uh shortly after the move, rep ordered via source of 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.920 the Jets might look to trade Wilkerson now, so I 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.600 don't know that that to me, if if if it 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.600 comes down to it and they have to move him 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.760 because he's not happy or now he doesn't fit in, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.040 that maybe will sour a little bit to me. I'd 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:14.320 like to see if they could try to make it 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.679 work and make something happen here. I know, Connor, you come. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.840 I mean, you covered the Jets beat writer. You've seen 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.680 a lot of what we're talking about happened. But the 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:27.040 new front office and coaching staff. Something seems different now totally, 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.920 especially once you got rid of John, you know, and 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.959 it seems so far away. The glacial does miles away 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.240 from the ship. It's crazy, though, I mean, like like 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.080 you and I were saying before, like the Jets could 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.319 legitimately play like a five to defense, like a throwback 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.320 like mid nineties era college defense with like all those 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.719 guys out there. It's just insane. Think it's a good 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.960 thing that Scott mcgluwen, the Redskins GM has a great 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.440 track record of just being right and gutsy with his 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.959 picks because for him in his first spot in Washington 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.160 at number five to go with Brandon Schurf, who they're 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.120 going to play at right tackle. So you're drafting a 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.000 right right tackle with the number five pick, when Leonard 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.640 Williams is on the board, Kevin White's on the board, 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.760 you know, Danny Shelton. There's a lot of ways they 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.119 could have gone. Instead, they go with the Iowa offensive 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.280 lineman that comes out every year and goes into the 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.440 league and is always solid, but doesn't feel like he's 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.040 gonna suddenly change your franchise. And how about Rex Ryan, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.560 who you know we talked about. When you know he 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.959 gets canned without a defense, they go and they rebuild 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.199 and bring back Reeves. Now they bring back this guy 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.480 that's supposed to be once in a decade defensive lineman potentially. Yeah, 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.640 how many lambs got thrown against the wall today? There's 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.640 a lot of lamps busted in the western New York area. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:45.000 It's well, yes, some actual lambs. It's very it's ugly business. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.000 We don't want to get into it. Uh. The Ryan 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.800 household in total chaos. So yeah, I mean I was 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.000 always happy with that. That was your head scratching move 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.720 by the way, if you go to NFL dot com 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.760 slash news, you can go see our head scratching moves. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.440 You you said the Redskins passing on Leonard Williams was 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.160 your head scratch Well, you don't like when you when 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.360 you get a gift? What is it? You don't look 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.760 a gift horse in the mouth. Yeah, yeah, I don't 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.880 think that phrase means much anymore. I don't know even 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.800 know what it means. No one knows. But the point 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.480 being is that what I like with the Jets did 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.760 is what the Redskins in is like, whoa, we weren't 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.200 expecting this. This may not be exactly what we were 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.600 looking for, but wait a second, this is a gift 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.160 from the football gods. This guy could be a study. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.360 The glacier would still be on the clock right now. 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.839 So I almost think it was like a power move 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.560 in a way, because if you're a new general manager 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.719 and you know everyone's looking at you, and that's how 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.400 you're like that, that's that's how your board stacks, you 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.839 can all of a sudden panic and go away from 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.640 the way that you saw the draft going. And so 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.240 I think for you know, for the for the Redskins, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.920 new GM it's like, well, he's there and he's our guy, 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.679 and we're not deviating from it because you don't want 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.480 to appear weak in front of the pack. Pack leader 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.440 Greg brought up the piece we have up NFL dot 0:12:53.480 --> 0:13:00.679 com slash the NFL you can find what our potentially 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:06.559 franchise altering moves. I think that uh connor ore is 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.480 rubbing his hands together, so I would love to hear 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.800 what you have to say. Well, my my franchise altering 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.160 move was Eric Flowers to the Giants at number nine. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.360 You want to make flowers. That's the best thing about 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.000 this draft. By the way, we got to back the 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.000 flower drop and I still had a Brandon still in 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.880 the mix, but now we could double down on it. 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.200 Isn't like around the NFL franchise altering because now we 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.240 can do this bit for an extra five years or 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.120 I want to make flowers. I'm just thinking of you guys. 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.920 You know, good job by the Twitter followers. Within ten 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.160 seconds of Flowers being drafted, we had ten you want 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.120 to make flowers jokes, different variations. Some of you got 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.679 very creative. I love that people are brilliant. Wait, that's 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.920 it insane, pick though, Really, Eric Flowers is the franchise 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.280 altering pick. Why yeah, when is the last time the 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.959 Giants have had like a dependable, power, powerful left tackle. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.240 And what what he allows you to do is you 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.600 can take Justin Pugh and move him inside to guard 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.040 where he's naturally going to play. You can play Western 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.320 Richburg at center where he's supposed to play. Now, all 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.120 of a sudden, you have two first round picks in 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.400 a second round pick on your offensive line, and it 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.480 gives you a lot of flexibility. Eli Manning is going 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.480 to sign another deal. You gotta keep him healthy until 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.400 he's forty. What don't forget? Connor War this week wrote 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.040 a piece on redrafting last year's lineman. He knows what 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.560 he's talking about. I feel like taking by the relative 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.880 no name offensive lineman is exactly what the Giants always do. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.600 That's kind of their move. It works a lot, but 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.760 that's kind of what they do. What mark is two 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.400 coordinators in this league. The voice of the coordinator that 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.720 is Connor Or when it comes to you know, grunts 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.400 in the trenches. I believe I just I believe in it. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.520 I give them the eloquent form. We are left guard 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.920 or a right guard just everywhere, you know. I was 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.880 like Joel Betonio, just where wherever anyone needed me on 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.920 a football team. Yeah yeah, you're not a big man, yeah, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.240 but you you had a lot of heart. Just yeah. Yeah. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.200 It was like Rudy without ever play Mark, Well, what's 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:05.120 your franchise altering that? This one's easy for me. I. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.320 I looked at the St. Louis Rams and a team 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.720 that has had no identity on offense. You know, even 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.400 with you get your pass on Sam brad for you 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.520 move him down, you're bringing Nick Foles, that still doesn't 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.040 seem to change much. Then you go and draft Todd Gurley. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.920 I almost wanted them to clown the entire NFL community 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.640 by taking a defensive tackle because they'd have forty two 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.760 of them at this point. But Gurley, come on, that's 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:31.000 that entire offense changes. I think Trey Mason is was 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.760 a really interesting runner last year and he still could 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.800 be a big part of that offense. Zack Stacy might 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.400 be looking for a new job soon, but I think 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.440 Gurley if he ends up being what they say, the 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.120 Rams have dealt with this in the NFC West with 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.600 Frank Gore and Marshawn Lynch. Now they have their guy. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.200 They're built in the form of those offenses. If this works, 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.560 I like it. I love it sticking behind Greg Robinson 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.280 and just let him go. There you go. I mean 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.240 that that's the most fun young backfield in the league. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.680 And he was reportedly, and it is from our own 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.840 our beer, the number one, the number one player on 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.880 the Rams draft board. And we heard going into the draft. 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.320 I think it must have been from Beer, maybe from 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.280 Ian too, that he was number one on one team's board. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.000 That's how much one team liked him. And we find 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.320 out that team is the St. Louis Rams. And if 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.360 you don't have a a quarterback, and they don't know 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.560 if they have one with Nick Foles, you know, the 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.800 best you can do is have the best posts fresh 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.320 possible and you get some explosion at wherever you can 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.560 get it. And in this draft for them, Kevin White's 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.520 already off the board. They get it at running back. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.840 Dan's making a face like he has to take a 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.640 dump or something. That's crude. First of all, Gregory, but 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.040 I'll just say that it is a little too neat 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.760 and buttoned up, less need up. Everything's always painted perfectly 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.720 with less needs love drafts towards just like and now 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.760 of course, because it has to be this way. It's 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.240 not good enough that he got the next Bo Jackson 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.520 in the backfield. It has to be the word leaks 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.640 out that they they're the number one guy on their board. 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.680 Was wait for everyone does say that Todd Gurley less 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.399 need genius with beautiful hair. And I don't have a 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.040 problem with them as a man. Oh I enjoy it. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.080 It's just it's just sometimes these narratives about Less are 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.480 a little overwhelming for me. The whole, the whole number 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.720 one in our draft. That that's like Chip Kelly saying 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.880 this year, the oh well, Odell Beckham was the number 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.639 one player on my board, Like how easy is that 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.639 to say? It's like without showing anyone the board. This 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.600 Gurly pick. Though a couple of trends came with this one. 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.880 One is a c L injuries. It's not really killing 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.320 people's draft stock anymore. I mean, how much higher could 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.240 have he gone? Maybe he would have been in the 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.879 top five, It's very possible, but it didn't hurt him 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.000 that much. And then too, you know a little bit 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.800 of return in the NFL this offseason. To the love 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.359 of the running back. Like the Chargers trade up just 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.480 two picks, but they give up two mid round picks 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.240 to move up and take Melvin Gordon number fifteen. Todd 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.720 Gurley goes number ten. These are two guys that can 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.600 be three down backs. And that's on the heels of 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.800 Lashawn McCoy getting paid, to Marco Murray getting paid and 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.120 Adrian Peterson getting paid like a quarterback even though he's 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:10.240 coming off everything, he's coming off. So yeah, that Gordon 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.000 moved was one of my favorite moves of the round 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.720 because you kept Philip Rivers. They we were told that 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.399 he was officially told he wasn't gonna be traded Philip Rivers, 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.159 so he's staying in San Diego. And last year they 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.680 struggled to run the ball and they made they put 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.600 too much on Rivers's plate, and you know that leaves 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.359 them vulnerable. Now you get a guy who could be 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.040 an all pro behind center, behind the quarterback, and now 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:32.879 you have a chance to really do something on offense 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.000 and be balanced and you and if you think that St. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.439 Louis has the most interesting backfield, I think that a 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.960 challenger is San Diego. If Gordon pans out, because you've 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.359 got Brandon Oliver, who isn't a lead back necessarily, but 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.800 a lot of interesting plays for him last year. And 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.800 you got Danny Woodhead coming back. And if all goes 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.520 to all goes to hell, you got what's his name 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.600 in there? The other guy with Danny and Donald Brown, 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.520 he can come. And we just talked about Oliver. We 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.960 love I love him. Greg. What was your franchise altering 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.560 move potentially? Well, I haven't even done it because I 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.080 wrote awkward, I'm easy to call me out on mine 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:10.520 and then not do. I wrote ten big takeaways from 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.000 the round, and you know, we wanted to run up here, 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.359 and I was gonna write right mine after I didn't. 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.159 It's okay, it's okay, you know what. I'm gonna come 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.560 up with an answer anyway. Shane Ray, the Denver Broncos. 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.320 Just just the fact, you know, John Elways so aggressive 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.240 in free agency last year, getting all the defense everything. 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.960 Not as aggressive this year, but he gets really aggressive 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.080
