12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: year NFL veteran Drew Stanton. And this week we must

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: add former second round pick Drew Stanton, the forty third

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: overall selection in two thousand and seven. Yes, I said

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: the year, Drew. Does it feel that long ago? I mean,

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: does this week condre up any more emotions than any

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: other week considering the draft then versus now? I'm guessing

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: as much different, much more publicized, much more out in

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: the open, not just the entire week but basically all

20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: year long. Yeah, I mean it's grown just as the

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: NFL has hoped for, right, I mean that it has

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: become a main event every single month, kind of like

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: the NFL wanted, right leading up from the Combine to

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: the Draft, all of these things of mini camps and

25
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: then you come back. They try to make it a

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: year round business because the NFL network, because all these things,

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: and so the hype it's built around the draft has

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: grown and grown and grown, and now you know, it

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: becomes a primetime event, it becomes all these things. When

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I got drafted in two thousand and seven, as you mentioned,

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like that long ago because the anticipation

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: was there. I knew that I was going to be

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: taken twenty four they said to forty was kind of

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: where I was at. Now. I went a little bit

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: after that, as you said, but I didn't even watch

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: the first portion of the draft because like, yeah, none

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: of these teams are gonna draft me. I when I

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: was down in Miami and when swam in the ocean,

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: I was like, guy, I just need to go away.

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people are there. You see

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: the draft stories, right, Like I was not far removed

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers draft class where he's in the green

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: room and it's like boom boom boom, and I was like,

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm I'm going to go somewhere where

45
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I need to go. And it was, you know, fortunate, good, bad, right,

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: wrong or different was drafted by the Troit Lions got

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: a chance to go home and that made some of

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: the transitions super easy for me and other portions that

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: were extremely difficult. But being able to go through that process,

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: it opened their eyes quickly because of the business that

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: is the NFL. Well, we know, the NFL for the

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: longest time always had the draft in New York and

53
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: now you can bid it out and it's going to

54
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: be in Las Vegas this weekend, and you know, so

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: it's it's an interesting where there's a market for it.

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: And it's not just one day. You're talking going in

57
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: there Wednesday and possibly staying there till Saturday or Sunday.

58
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: So they knew exactly what they're doing. Cardinals, remember have

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: eight picks, one in each of the first three rounds

60
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: two and the sixth, and three in the seventh. We'll

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: see what happens in rounds four and five. More on

62
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: the drafts. But there is some other news that we

63
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: need to get into that actually occurred during general manager

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: Steve Come and head coach Cliff Kingsbury's pre draft press conference.

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: All this noise all offseason long concerning quarterback Kyler Murray.

66
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: What's going to happen with the franchise quarterback while we

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: know that he is not going anywhere. That was made

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: very very clear when Azycentral dot Com Kent Summers asked

69
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Come on the potential of trading k one. There's been

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a let of speculation out there in the possibility of

71
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: you guys trading kybernus. Can you rule that out? Zero chance?

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: And with those two words, MJ, I think we're done

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: until we get the announcement that something has officially come

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: to an agreement or signed between team and quarterback with

75
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: regard to a long term extension. Yeah, and I think

76
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: it was important. Didn't know if that was gonna be

77
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: the first question, second or third, but it was going

78
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: to be asked at some point. And give Ken Summer's

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: credit there, Um, I think I need to be said

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of quiet and noise down now they can focus

81
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: on the draft. And you know, after that comment was made,

82
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Kylin Murray was active on social media. He was I

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: don't know, and back in two thousand and seven it's

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: dru did with social media a thing at Facebook, my space,

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: right space, I remember, yeah, I mean all that stuff

86
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: was just coming out whichever what was shock on. Shack

87
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: was on one of them, and that's when I was

88
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: training on in Florida and he was like, Hey, I'm

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: hanging out at Lucky Strike Bowling and I just happened

90
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: to be there and somebody's like, he's actually there right,

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: Like come to find out, he was like one of

92
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: the founders of it. So well well played by him.

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: When Shaquille O'Neil was with the Phoenix Suns, all of

94
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: a sudden he's tweeting about breaking news about his availability

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: for certain games or like what is this? What is

96
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: this Twitter thing? So that's how I found out about Twitter.

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: And speaking of which, Kyle Murray on that day April

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty first, not to long after general manager Steve Kime

99
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: said zero chance Kyler on Twitter quote, I want to

100
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: win Super Bowls with the Cardinals. Azy is home. You

101
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback Drew. You have a chance. If

102
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't have a chance on Sundays. And

103
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: it's very easy to say he'll look somewhere else, But

104
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: who are gonna look for? And I think the Cardinals.

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: You invest a number one overall pick in your franchise quarterback,

106
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him around more than just a

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: four or five years. You've got him under control exactly.

108
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: When you invest in that guy, you have to go

109
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: all in right. You are completely married to him, and

110
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the organization needs to be doing everything in their power

111
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: to make sure he's put it in his best foot

112
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: forward each and every year. And the arrow is pointing

113
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: up and the beauty of the new rookie wage scale.

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can pull the plug if it's not the case.

115
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: Now they're in an interesting situation because all the signs

116
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: are pointing that way. Yes, he took things off of

117
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: social media. You know, it's like a personal press conference

118
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: anytime he posts anything anyways, because everybody's fawning over it.

119
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: But at the same time, Steve Kim has to realize, Okay,

120
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: how can we maximize what this kid brings to the table.

121
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Because he's electrifying. He can do all these things. He

122
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: can single handily go out and win a football game,

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: for you, it's just can he do it in primetime

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: when the lights are on and when it's the playoffs

125
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: when you needed to play your best pills. Everybody's looking

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs. It's what you do when

127
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: you get in there that matters most. And Matthew Stafford

128
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: proved that. You know, he put all that to bed of, Like, well,

129
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: he's owing three in the playoffs. Look at us three

130
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: playoff games right, much like Kyler going on the road,

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, having to play it's a very difficult environment.

132
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: It's a different game speed, and you have to be

133
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: ready to go. But it's a challenge that he's accepted,

134
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: he's looking forward to, and there's no question, as there

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: might have been early in his career, who the leader

136
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: of this team is. He has to step up. Your

137
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: best players have to be your best leaders in order

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: for you to go win a Super Bowl. Wasn't just

139
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: the general manager, but owner Michael Bidwell speaking with Kent Summers, quote, yeah,

140
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: that's not happening with respects to Kyler being traded. Added,

141
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: there's just too much outso outside noise that people listen to.

142
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: We understand that's just part of what goes on these

143
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: days with social media, it's just not the case. Again,

144
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not going anywhere. He is too talented.

145
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: He has made this football team much better. He's also

146
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: made according to Kim Kim, a much better general manager.

147
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: I was a decent GM when Carson Palmer was our quarterback.

148
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: When he retired, I wasn't very good. I am smart

149
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: enough to know that Kyler Murray makes me a better GM.

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: So he you know, again, we took him with the

151
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: first overall pick. We love him. The guys continue to improve.

152
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: He's made us a better football team, so we're really

153
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: excited about his future. It's funny how that happens. You're

154
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: a better team, organization, general manager, head coach when you

155
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: have well better players on the football field. Yeah. And

156
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: I think that Carson Palmer trade will go down as

157
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: one of the best in Cardinal history. There have been others, obviously,

158
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones pulling off the trade for DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah.

159
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I just like the fact that, you know, seems like

160
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: everyone's getting on the same page and now we get

161
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: this focus on football when they get to the ot

162
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: as in manage minicamp, there is that one thing that

163
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: contract and how quickly, sooner rather than later. We know

164
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Kyler wanted it real soon, as in almost immediately at

165
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: the end of the regular season or in postseason. However,

166
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: as Kime pointed out late last week, there is a

167
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: timeline for these rookie contracts to get done. The way

168
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: we've approached it is we have free agency, we have

169
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: the draft, and then you know, we'll take a deep

170
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: breath and sort of refocus. And that's the same reason

171
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: that every other player that's been a third year quarterback

172
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: has been done in the middle of the summer to

173
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: late summer, and it's just sort of the way that

174
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: the system works. But nothing has changed in terms of

175
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: him being our long term and shore term quarterback. Josh

176
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Allen August, Patrick Mahomes July, Deshaun Watson September, Jared Goff September,

177
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz June, Ryan Tannehill May. Those were the last

178
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks who signed long term deals before their fourth season.

179
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: There is a process you have to wait. Now, as

180
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: a former player, Drew, it's kind of maybe difficult to

181
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: wait yet, and we know that he is talking about

182
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Murray not here. During the offseason strength and conditioning program,

183
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: it is voluntary. It's not a big deal right now.

184
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: But once this team gets on the football field, even

185
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: in t search and shorts, you'd like to see your

186
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: quarterback out here if he is. Who knows, But I

187
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: do think a deal does get done prior to the

188
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: start of the regular season, just my opinion. Yeah, I

189
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: mean hopefully. I think that would be another stepping stone

190
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: to just put it the rest. You know, wherever you

191
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: got those stats from, you are a good stat guy

192
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: as far as yeah, no, I mean to your point two.

193
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: We were even talking about it in the past. Of look,

194
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Cam Newton Andrew Lux same type of format. They didn't

195
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: get paid until later on after that. So each team

196
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: operates so differently, each organization views it differently. Your quarterbacks,

197
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: everybody is treated completely different based off their circumstances. You

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: can't just say, okay, well Deshaun Watson got two hundred

199
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: and forty million dollars guaranteed, so that's what Kyler deserves,

200
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: and that's what Kyler is thinking. And I don't blame him, right,

201
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: This is the business side of it that can sometimes

202
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: get misconstrued or saying, well, no, he's selfish, he's this.

203
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: It's completely different because Baker said, I'm out, I don't

204
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: want to be there, and then to your point, you

205
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: either have a quarterback or you don't. So they needed

206
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: to go find a quarterback that hopefully completely tilts the

207
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: scale in favor of the players to go get guaranteed contracts,

208
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: being able to get Kurt Cousins type of deals. I

209
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: know that JC Treder talked about it like they were

210
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: hoping this was going to be a snowball effect, because

211
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: in my idea, in a perfect NFL type of world,

212
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: it's a shorter term deal, but it's all guaranteed, especially

213
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: the most important position. So you give Kyler whatever the

214
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: going rate is for quarterbacks, sign him to a three

215
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: year deal, and give him a whole boatload of money,

216
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: But then you're not married to him for two hundred

217
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: and forty million dollars, and you're going to handicap yourself

218
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: potentially later. If I was a GM, I'm not. Steve's

219
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: got a really tough decision to make as far as

220
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: getting it done, But there has to be a mutual

221
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: agreement upon those two and going back makes no sense

222
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: to negotiate in the media. The smart teams, the smarter

223
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: gooding of the additions, they're not going to pro offer

224
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: anything as much as Kent Summers wants to dig and

225
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: to ask questions or leading questions. Right, everything that should

226
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: be done behind closed doors is left for us to

227
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: sit here and speculate around all of these major events

228
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: that occur in the NFL. But Steve's a really good GM,

229
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: Michael's a phenomenal owner, and within that they're going to

230
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: find the right structure what's best for the Arizona Cardinals,

231
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: and hopefully that coincides with what's best for Kyler Murray. Now,

232
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, you look at it, he's got two years left.

233
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: I would think that, you know, you give him a

234
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: four year deal extended, so it's all six years, and

235
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: that's way you can move the money around. So we'll

236
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: just have to wait and see. But obviously the Cardinals

237
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: have done a good job when it comes to given

238
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: guys extensions in training camp over the years. Again, it's

239
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: good to have this out of the way and not

240
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: hanging over everyone's heads. Come later this week Thursday, Friday,

241

250
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, where I do a network to have

251
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: personal interactions with each of these players. You can't put

252
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: a price on that. And Indianapolis and the Combine is

253
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: really our first opportunity you need to get up up

254
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: close and personal. So it was a long week, but

255
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: it's necessary. The Combine is designed in a way where

256
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: it's it's difficult to be successful one hundred percent of

257
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: the time. You may have a bad interview, you may

258
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: have a bad lift, if you may run a bad time.

259
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm I and I want to see you guys who

260
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: pushed through that grit. This is us at Arizona Cardinals

261
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: thirty six A and this is where the action happens.

262
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: It's an exciting week. It's a big help and kind

263
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: of stacking the draft board. It makes it easier for

264
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: us to make decisions because you guys came prepared. You

265
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: guys came ready, and that's why we built the board

266
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: and we did That's why we're gonna have success in

267
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: this draft. And you have to have to have a strategy,

268
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: whether you're gonna stay there and pick, or you're gonna

269
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: trade back or vice versa. You know, if you have

270
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: somebody you love and you're gonna go get them, go

271
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: get them. Episode two Draft Vision the Emmy Award winning

00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: the draft on Thursday. We'll kind of take you behind

276
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: the scenes on the pre draft prep. You heard from

277
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: general managers Steve Come, his staff, Quentin Harris, Ryan Golddrew Grigson,

278
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: and that's his parts of what we have been talking

279
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: about now for weeks months now as far as getting

280
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: ready for your eight draft picks, whether that is fewer

281
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: or more. As Kime said, Hey, if you like someone MJ,

282
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: you go get them. But it is here. The draft

283
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: has officially arrived Thursday at five pm erazon a time,

284
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: and it's going to be interesting and I'm sure we'll

285
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: get into different positions. What's gonna be transpired at twenty

286
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: three who's on the board, And you know, hopefully a

287
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: couple of quarterbacks are drafted, so they could push some

288
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: position players down. But you know, without having a fourth

289
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: and a fifth, I would think that, you know, there's

290
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: a long period of time for you start picking in

291
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: the sixth round. So if he's aggressive moving up, you

292
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: know you can offer next year or you know, second

293
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: or third round pick. They should have a compensed story

294
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: pick which you can trade for Christian Kirk. So listen,

295
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: the thing is they have to at least these first

296
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: three picks. You have to have these guys come in

297
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: and contribute, whether they're rotation guys are starters from day one. Yeah,

298
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to as DJ Humphreys back in the day,

299
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: red shirt or you're sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else.

300
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: It's it's an inexact science. At the same time, Drew

301
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: as Kind likes to say, this is where you build

302
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: your team. It's through the draft, not as much through

303
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: free agency. Yeah, it has to be. But I think

304
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: that the beauty of what they've done here is they've

305
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: identified each draft pick for what they are. When when

306
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: it hasn't worked out, they moved on quickly. And that's

307
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: what this rookie wage goes allowed to do. But Steves

308
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: and his team are not afraid to be proactive, and

309
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: they'll always say, look, we could do twenty of these

310
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: different mock drafts and they're gonna end up twenty different ways.

311
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Because you don't know how they're gonna shake out. You

312
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: want to be as prepared as possible. You have as

313
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: much information as you have going into each and every

314
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: draft and say, okay, this is where we're gonna go

315
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: on Thursday, this we're no Friday Saturday. Like, you have

316
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: to have a plan, and you might deviate from that plan.

317
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: You've got to be open to that based off of

318
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: the information you have at that presented time. So, you know,

319
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I think that there's obviously areas of concern. Everybody's like, well,

320
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: why don't they just go draft you know, a number

321
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: two wide receiver, why don't they There's a lot more

322
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: that goes into that, especially that latter part of the

323
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: first round, right, Like you want to get a guy

324
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: that can come in and fill a void for you

325
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: or be a solid guy. To your point, a guy

326
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: like DJ Humphries. We knew he was super young, he

327
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: was going to take time to develop, but then he

328
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: was also have the possibility to be a cornerstone left

329
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: tackle to get paid like he's getting play. It has

330
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: worked out exactly how Steve would have hoped, because he

331
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: was surrounded by the right people to help him grow

332
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: and mature over time. Sometimes you have that luxury. In

333
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: today's NFL, you don't have that luxury anymore. It's a

334
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: play now, what can you do for me lately type

335
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: of business, And if you miss on a first round

336
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: pick or a second round pick, it's going to be

337
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: extremely difficult because you're gonna, unfortunately not be able to

338
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: have a different position and everybody as well. You could

339
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: have drafted this guy two picks later and look what

340
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: he did well. That might not have been your position

341
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: of need or the best athlete available or best pick available.

342
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: With Steve's always talked about that's the beauty of their approach.

343
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: You have to have a stern way of looking at things,

344
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: and he's done that over the course of his time

345
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: of being a GM and more time than not, it's

346
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: worked itself out. You know. One of the things that

347
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: I've I've followed over the years and last the Cardinals

348
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: obviously we're very aggressive in free agency. The thought was

349
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: physicality and leadership, and they did that bringing in guys

350
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: in the first you know, three or four days. But

351
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: you can also tell though, and I still think they'll

352
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: make some moves after the draft based on what they get.

353
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: But you know, you always say we're going to pick

354
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: the best available player, but I also think there's got

355
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: to be a need in there, and you don't want

356
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: to force it. If if somebody's ranked you know, equal,

357
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: and he's a defensive tackle versus defensive end, then you

358
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: have to make a decision. But just based on them

359
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: not acquiring an outside linebacker, a defensive lineman, maybe bringing

360
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: in another corner. But I do think, you know, you know,

361
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: maybe Cliff likes the wide receiver room now, but I

362
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: would think you want to get at some more depth

363
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: to that. And what about the offensive line. So there's

364
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: there's areas you can address at twenty three, oh, without

365
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: a doubt. You know, we talked about it when I

366
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: was on the show A couple of weeks ago. It's

367
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: hard to be a first round and pick as a

368
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver and come in and play within the structure

369
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: of this system, it seems like because there hasn't been

370
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: guys early on two second round picks that have had

371
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: come in and had six so there's a little bit

372
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: of hesitation there. The plug and play guys are what

373
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: you're looking for. I would build a team personally if

374
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: it was me through the offensive defensive line, because if

375
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: you can win up front, if you can get pressure

376
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, if you can protect the quarterback, you're

377
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: going to be in a much better position because you're

378
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: going to go find diamonds in the rough at wide receiver,

379
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: at running back, at corner, guys that have a different

380
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: mentality to fit within your locker room. Or you build

381
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: a brand that people want to be associated with, and

382
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: you can do that shape that mold that a lot

383
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: of different ways. It's hard to find offense and defensive

384
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: lineman that you can sit there and say, and that's

385
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: really the sweet spot or the positive of being at

386
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: twenty three, as you might, Okay, reach up and grab

387
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: a guy that fits what you need within there, because

388
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: there's a premium place on it for what this team

389
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: needs versus what's being drafted and the trickle down effect.

390
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about positions of need here on

391
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the Cardinal's Red Seat Report, presented by Get Your Seats

392
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: in a Seats. What does the general manager feel his

393
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: needs are with spects to this upcoming season. Here's Steve Kime.

394
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: We all would acknowledge that, you know, edge rusher, wide receiver, corner,

395
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, any of those positions that are you know,

396
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: they're hard to find. I mean, listen, when guys get

397
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: the free agency and they get paid the kind of

398
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: money they get, you know, you're looking at left tackles, corners,

399
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, guys that are really hard to find. Obviously quarterbacks,

400
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: now receivers are playing into that a little bit. Obviously.

401
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: You know when you see some of the salaries that

402
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: these guys are getting into the receiver position. If you

403
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: can get a number one receiver, there's no reason not

404
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: to take one. So you're sitting there at number twenty three,

405
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: you'll have to kind of wait a while, might not

406
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: be until after eight pm on Thursday night, see who

407
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: is available, and then look at your board. And then

408
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: there's also to talk about moving up or maybe dropping

409
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: back a couple of spots and adding more draft picks.

410
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: More bytes at the Apple. Here's Steve Kme on that. Well,

411
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: I've had some calls, you know, guys that just want

412
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: to let me know that, hey, we're willing to move around.

413
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: And then I've done the same, you know, guys that

414
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: you generally talk to prior to the draft and just

415
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: let them know we're up in for business. Best case scenario, MJ,

416
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: this team is maybe picking or drops a couple of

417
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: spots not too far, maybe twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven,

418
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: and gains a fourth or fifth round pick this year,

419
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: not future years, but this year. Yeah, And I don't

420
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: think you want to you drop down to the second

421
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: round because you want that fifth year option. You're not

422
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: drafting a guy for one year, so the fifth year

423
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: option is going to be a big deal. And then

424
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: you just start looking at it. You know, how many

425
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: receivers are still left that twenty three, how many interior

426
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: offensive linemen, how many edge rushers, And that's going to

427
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: dictate And again I do think they'll try to trade down,

428
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: just connecting dots based on they don't have a fourth

429
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: and a fifth round pick. If they want to be aggressive,

430
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: they move up. The interesting thing is we got eight

431
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: teams with multiple picks, and then eight teams don't have

432
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: a single first round pick, and we'll see how active

433
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: teams are ahead of the Cardinals, and then of course,

434
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: when the Cardinals are on the clock at pick number

435
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty three. I'll say this though, if it is a

436
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: defender taken at pick number twenty three or just in

437
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: the first round, it would mark the second time ever

438
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: enfranchises in the first time since nineteen ninety six through

439
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, in which a defender was taken in

440
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: three consecutive draft classes. When you have a young quarterback, Drew,

441
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: I know at twenty three you're waiting to see who

442
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: the best player is. Yet when you're a young quarterback,

443
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, all right, can we not take a wide receiver?

444
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: Can we not draft an offensive lineman? If I'm your

445
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, how about you helped me out a little bit? Yeah,

446
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: And Steve talked about a little bit before two of

447
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: guys that they've brought in the past of saying, okay, well,

448
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: you know, if Kyler has input, what's going on? If

449
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: he's going to be the franchise quarterback here, it's important

450
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: that he has input. You know, the circle that exists

451
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: within the NFL is pretty small, and being able to

452
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: have resources that you do you want to make you're

453
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: sure your quarterback, given that he's responsible and done his

454
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: homeworker knows what's going on, can go out and do

455
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: these things. And that's part of the ownership of what

456
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: you're encompassing as that guy. At the same time, you

457
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: know Aaron Rodgers have been trying to do it forever,

458
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver drafted. So if he can't get

459
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: one drafted, who can walkerto? I mean, there's a guy

460
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: to me right, and everybody's in a win now mentality.

461
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: You have to be right because you can get fired

462
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow by some of these owners and you never know

463
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But if you're also building for

464
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: the future around your quarterback, you want as much of

465
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: a great nucleus of young talent. That talent pool on

466
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball is young. You look

467
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: at Buddha Baker, you look at the linebacking corps, you

468
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: look at Marco Wilson. What that could become. There's a

469
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: pretty good Niche right there. Like you said, of guys

470
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: that you feel good about that are going to grow together,

471
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: mesh on the offensive side of the ball, I don't

472
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: really know if that exists right now. Besides Kyler. Yes,

473
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: you have a star wide receiver, but you want to

474
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: be able to get that nucleus strong and maybe a

475
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: guy like Jamison Williams that's coming off of an acl

476
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: that you know it's going to maybe take some time anyways,

477
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: But what you're betting on the latter part of that one.

478
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: He is healthy, the difference he can make, the pressure,

479
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: he can take off of that, but also be around

480
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: great guys like AJ Green DeAndre Hopkins, and he can

481
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: learn and when he gets the opportunity, can make the

482
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: most of it right off the bat. Because these dynamic playmakers.

483
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: Everybody's making a big to do about wide receivers getting

484
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money. Well, if you have one,

485
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: much like a franchise quarterback, they are difference makers. They

486
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: can win you a football game. They can take a

487
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: slant and turn into a touchdown. They can take over

488
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: a game and have fourteen catches, and if you have

489
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: somebody's number that day, you're gonna go win a football game.

490
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: So they are so hard to find, and people are

491
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: finding ways out of contracts or situations or teams that

492
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: they don't want to be a part of. You look

493
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: at Davante Adams, You look at these guys that are

494
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: holding firm now not showing up to their offseason camp.

495
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: And so you get these guys young, and you get

496
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: them to play at a high level, and you get

497
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: a better sense of what they're all about. Now when

498
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: you look at it, if you were the quarterback, not

499
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: trying to put you on the spot, would you prefer

500
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: an alignment or a wide receiver. I'd take alignement every

501
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: single day of the week. If it's the right offensive

502
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: linement versus the white right right wide receiver, I am

503
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: taking an offensive linement. So thanks for putting on the spot.

504
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Look you said maybe one day you become a general manager.

505
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: I've already thought about it too. I want as many

506
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: good offensive linement as possible. General Manager Drew Stanton, it's

507
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: a nice ring to it. See if we can't make

508
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: that happen. Here we have hit halftime here on the

509
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by Get Your Seats in

510
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: a Seats. More on General manager Drew Stanton and what

511
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: he will decide to do if he were in charge

512
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals heading into twenty twenty two drafting

513
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and wide receivers. Is my guest, this is

514
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, right network. I love to hear from

515
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: our players, ticularly Kyler hop and some of those guys.

516
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: When you have a number of guys that are so

517
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: involved in Carson Palmer was like this. You know, you

518
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: get a different perspective from players, which is which is good.

519
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: You know, you you have coaches who see things a

520
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: certain way, you see scouts who see things a certain way,

521
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: and then when you have players that come into the

522
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: fold and they know the kid personally, and again, it's

523
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: a different perspective. And to me, there's no reason why

524
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: I shouldn't pick their brain and try to learn. I

525
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: won't tell you what his wish list is, He's got one.

526
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: We all speculates on what Kyler Murray would like to

527
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: see general manager Steve Kime do as we continue here

528
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals Red Sea Report presented by ze get

529
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: your seats in a seat, Craig Reel and Drew Stanton

530
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: and Mike Direki talking about the twenty twenty two NFL Draft,

531
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: and as we heard from the general manager right there,

532
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: drew that Carson Palmer would offer up opinions on what

533
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: he would like from the draft or perhaps free agency. Now,

534
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: once upon a time, you were the starting quarterback of

535
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. For I believe it was what five weeks,

536
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: no day, No, it was a little bit longer than

537
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: I was between press conferences, a little bit longer than

538
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: five days. I mean it might have been two weeks. Okay,

539
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: all right? Have you ever walked up to a general

540
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: manager or poked a head into front office member, whether

541
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: it was here or elsewhere during your long, illustrious career

542
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, as far as hey pay

543
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: attention to this guy, or hey, this guy is pretty good,

544
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: or you might you know what I ran into him

545
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: not liking this player. You're really pumping me up right now,

546
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good about myself after this hour. You know

547
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: what I made your general manager, Guys that I played

548
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: with that were free agents that got cut or anything

549
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: like this, I would always speak to their character, right

550
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: and I would speak to what I thought the added

551
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: to the table. And after you get in this league,

552
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: you realize that we all have our deficiencies, but we

553
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: all have our strengths, and so I would highlight those

554
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: strengths for those guys, because you know, we have to

555
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: be able to go out and give an honest evaluation.

556
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: And I had a coach always tell me, he's like,

557
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: if you're going to recommend somebody, you go all in

558
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 1: for them. And so guys that I believed in that

559
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: I knew were great guys, I would make phone calls

560
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: to different coaches that I was with. I would make

561
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: phone calls to different gms, or send texts or do

562
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: all that because I do think it's important. All these

563
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: guys need are an opportunity, and some of the guys,

564
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: like myself, I needed an opportunity. I needed to find

565
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: a place that somebody believed in me. And I found

566
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: that place here and that's why I never wanted to

567
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: leave in Detroit. It was a struggle for me. Two

568
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: years later, after got drafted in the second round, they

569
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: drafted Matthew Stafford number one. Overall, I knew my time

570
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: was on borrowed time there. So you see all these

571
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: things and you become aware of everything else around you.

572
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: But you need people to go to bat for you

573
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: and guys that I played with, guys that I've been

574
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: through thick and thin with. Yes, I would one hundred

575
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: percent go up to Steve Kime and even when Carson

576
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: was here. Right, we understand scheme, we understand guys that

577
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: fit into that scheme, and sometimes there could be a

578
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: disconnect between front office coaches and players, and if an

579
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: organization could ever get all of those married up, it

580
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: would be a pretty powerful situation, because, yes, there's a

581
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: pecking ore within all of it, but if there is

582
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: guys that you're looking that fit the mold of what

583
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: you want, and Ba was so good at that, right.

584
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: He was really good at identifying wide receivers late in

585
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: late rounds that can fill voids based off of what

586
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: we needed offensively, the JJ Nelson's of the world, the

587
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: John Browns of the world that have gone on to

588
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: have good careers and can be guys that can fill

589
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: these things. Even when he was in Pittsburgh, he was

590
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: great at that and drafting running backs and being able

591
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: to identify guys because you've seen it, you've been around it,

592
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: you understand, and you wanted to look a certain way.

593
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: And even though a draft grade might not be a

594
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: big board like everybody else's. You're looking for exactly something

595
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: that just kind of stands out more than others. You know,

596
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 1: you look at it though from a standpoint of you know,

597
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: you clearly, I mean, this team has to make progress

598
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: and get better at certain positions. But when I look

599
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: at it overall, it's just you know, you look at

600
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: the team and where they were and where they could be.

601
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and this is a This is a really

602
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: important draft because you've got to make sure you know

603
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: what A picks, and you got to make sure you

604
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: can kind of slidify where you're not going out what

605
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Steve was alluding to. Instead of going out and paying

606
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: these wide receivers, try to draft one in the first

607
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: and second round where you own their rights for the

608
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: next four or five years. Because the money that receivers

609
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: are getting now, it's almost like the quarterbacks. By the way,

610
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: just a follow up, because I do want to make

611
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: sure that we are always accurate here on the Cardinals.

612

00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: a Seats. It was March thirteenth, twenty thirteen. Carson Palmer

614
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: was acquired on April second. Okay, that's a happy medium.

615
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: Not five weeks, no, but not five days either. Yeah,

616
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: well it felt like five days. I just had a kid,

617
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, about seven months into being a dad. Things

618
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: happened very quickly in the National Football League, and even

619
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: more quickly on Draft night, we already touched on the

620
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals at number twenty three. Do they move up? Do

621
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: they move back? Here's general managers Steve come on what

622
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: might happen this week going through the exercises. There's a

623
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: number of scenarios that depending on how the board falls,

624
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: that you know, there could be an option really to

625
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: go up four or five spots and potentially get a

626
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: guy that we think is a dynamic playmaker or a

627
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: difference maker. And the same if there's something that maybe

628
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: we get to a point where we're not thrilled or

629
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: we have four or five players sort of in the

630
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: same area, you know, you can probably move back some

631
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: picks and acquire more and still get the player you want. Now,

632
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: over his ten year as general manager, this will be

633
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: his tenth draft as Cardinals general Measury Kim has made

634
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: at least one Draft day trade in seven of those

635
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: nine years, and he's only moved up once, though in

636
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: the first round. That was to acquire Josh Rosen. Very

637
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: difficult to move up in the draft, especially at twenty three.

638
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: How far can you move up? That's why I think

639
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: you're hearing a lot MG about all right, let's move

640
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: back to acquire more picks. Well, it makes sense, I

641
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: mean in again, because you don't have a four and

642
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: five now. You could try to mentioned earlier, you could

643
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, offer a third round pick. Next year

644
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: you'll have your own, and then the compensatory pick. But

645
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: it's just one of those scenarios where you know, if

646
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: you have four or five guys on that list and

647
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: you're willing to trade down, you got to make sure

648
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: you don't go down too far because teams are aware

649
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 1: of what other teams are doing, just based on conversation,

650
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a gentleman's in agreement. Hey, they're

651
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you who you're gonna draft, but you

652
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: better not go down too far. And he's aware of that.

653
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: And again I think it's important to get that fifty

654
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: year option go on. If you're looking at wide receiver,

655
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Green Bay Packers draft number twenty two

656
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: and losing Davanta Adams. All of a sudden, maybe the

657
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Packers are interested in a wide receiver. So if you

658
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: want to get a wide receiver, you have to jump

659
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: ahead of Green Bay. Well, you know, Kansas City's got

660
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: twelve picks, they got twenty nine and thirty, and I'm

661
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: sure they want a receiver. Now, if you decide that

662
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: you know receivers there, you take them. I mean, obviously

663
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: Trey von Burke's is probably a guy that's going to

664
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: go somewhere in the twenties. But clearly you don't want

665
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: to go down too far. But all of a sudden

666
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: you have some options and you acquire another pick where

667
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: you don't have that delay between the fourth and fifth

668
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: rone more. Steve Gime on the excitements of trading during

669
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: the draft. It's a fast moving process. That's probably the

670
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: one thing in the draft that creates the most excitement

671
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: is whenever those trade conversations start, because the level of

672
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: excitement in the room sort of rises. But more than anything,

673
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 1: whether you agree with the trade chart or the points,

674
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: more than anything, to me, it's an instinctive thing. You

675
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: got to feel good about what you're doing, and as

676
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: long as you trust, you got I think you're being

677
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: a good position. You made it clear earlier in the show,

678
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: Drew that as general manager that you would prefer offensive

679
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: lineman given your history as a quarterback, because that did

680
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: you always feel that way or is that something that

681
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: you learned over time, because you would think all quarterbacks

682
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: want are skilled position players, someone to get them the football,

683
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: to throw the football too, to move the ball up

684
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: and down the field. Yeah. Well, I think you look

685
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: at where you can gain the greatest advantage right schematically

686
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: of guys, or where you can hold firm or hold

687
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: your ground. That's going to make the biggest difference on Sundays,

688
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: and I think for the longevity of that just through

689
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: attritional loan. The offensive line is hard enough to try

690
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: and keep intact. So the more that you can make

691
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: that an area of strength and be able to do

692
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: that and the gate some of these great pass rushers

693
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: that can ruin a game. You look at the guys

694
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: that get paid all this money, you know, unfortunately Aaron

695
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: Donalds of the World, T J. Watt, all these guys,

696
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: they can wreck a game for you. So the way

697
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: to combat that is you go out and you get

698
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: somebody and you fortify that Again, I think wide receivers

699
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: are out there. It's hard because the market's evolving, it's changing.

700
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, as MJ was talking about, you let some

701
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: guys walk in free agency, like Christian Kirk because of

702
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: how much he's getting paid to go somewhere else where.

703
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: You can shape and mold these younger guys. And that's

704
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: just that's a trend that's going on. You look at

705
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: what Steve was saying, right, he has not traded up

706
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: the proofs and then putting over the only one time

707
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: over the last decade he's been here. So you try

708
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: to analyze what you can do. You look at areas

709
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: that you can get better at. And I mean for

710
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: what he said in that clip too ago of saying,

711
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: well we could move up, we couldn't move back rom

712
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: maybe what they saying all of those things are on

713
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: the board. And that's what's the beauty of Steve is

714
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: he identifies, okay, what matters at that given time, and

715
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: if they feel like there's four five guys, maybe they

716
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: do slide back to Mday's point to get another pick

717
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: to add value to it. I mean, I remember last

718
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: year when they jumped all the way up to get

719
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson. Everybody was shocked by that. Steve's not afraid

720
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: to make an aggressive move. To be proactive, and you

721
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: have to be ready to jump at a moment's notice.

722
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: So he's shown the signs of doing that. At the

723
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: same time, if you feel like a wide receiver versus

724
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: a offensive linement are going to make a difference, especially

725
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: for the longevity of what's going on, and you've mapped

726
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: that out, maybe you do go into your line and

727
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: you feel really good about a guy that's that's going

728
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: to be here for you know, for the foreseeable future.

729
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: Would let you believe the way I look at it

730
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: is and we went back when they were gonna lose

731
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: Clays Campbell, they try to bring in Kem dic Olson,

732
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: Pierre Rodney Gunter. I think they had an idea that

733
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: possibly Christian Kirk attests for eating, so they draft Rondo More.

734
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: I mean, Will Hernanis is on a one year deal.

735
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: You know, Beacham's gonna be a free agent. He's gonna

736
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: be a free agent, so you start looking at the future.

737
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: You can fill that spot without going around and spend

738
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: a ton of money in free ency. Would not be

739
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: the sexy pick, but It might be the most the

740
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: smartest pick if you went offensive line at number twenty.

741
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: Protect the quarterback absolutely here that Drew We got you back.

Speaker 1: cadget stiff arm from A J. Green. What a back

755
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: for a second season? AJ Green a year ago eight

756
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight receiving yards, three touchdowns, including that

757
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: one right there against the Minnesota Vikings. AJ Green in

758
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinals uniform one more season have not had

759
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: the chance to hear from you Drew. As far as

760
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: your take on AJ Green returning, I've always maintained that

761
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: once the offseason hit and you reach free agency, it's okay,

762
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: well you need to address the number two wide receiver

763
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: or just an outside wide receiver threat. Regardless of what

764
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: you think about Rondel Moore's ability to play outside, you

765
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: needed someone else in that position. Antoine West, I just

766
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: don't think is quite ready. But it's the known versus

767
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: the unknown. Go out and find somebody or bring back

768
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: someone who knows your offense already. Yeah, well, and I

769
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: think will continue to grow within the offense. Right. You

770
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: look at that, and he was doing a great job

771
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: of complimenting DeAndre, And I don't think it's a quote

772
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: unquote tag for a number two wide receiver. I think

773
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: you look at the whole puzzle of how it fits together,

774
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: and you look at adding zach Ertz and the passing

775
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: game in general, what that can bring to the table.

776
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: And I think that outside threat, as you were talking

777
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: about with Aj, as he gets more comfortable, as he's

778
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: seeing things that he's on the same page. And again

779
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: there you can never get enough reps between a quarterback

780
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: and a wide receiver and grow comfortable to grow within

781
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: all of this, within the hand signals of what Kyler

782
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: does and what he brings to the table. You add

783
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: back a healthy DeAndre Hopkins, you add in a year

784
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: of experience with Rondel Moore, You add in zach Ertz,

785
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: and then yeah, the wide receiver looks a little bit

786
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: different Anton West that you give him a little bit

787
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: more on his plate. And again you can find guys

788
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: in the latter portion of the draft to be able

789
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 1: to do that. But I think to get AJ back

790
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. Again. He's a calming, veteran presence,

791
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: is demeanor's great. He's been here, he's done it, and

792
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great signing to be able to

793
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: just continue to keep pushing along with a good nucleus.

794
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: And I really believe and I don't need to be retunded.

795
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: I think these guys being in this system the second year,

796
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: zach Ertz, James Connor, you're throwing AJ green, and Green

797
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: was honest. You know, him and Kyler got a on

798
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: the same page with some miscommunication in the second half.

799
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: It's maybe when you go to that Colts game. But

800
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: I just think being in the system getting an entire

801
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: offseason together that can go a long way near number

802
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: two for a lot of these guys. Yeah, the feeling

803
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: out process has gone right everybody. There's a continuity there.

804
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: If you get together, you do all these things. You

805
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: already know the language, you're already speaking the same thing,

806
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: what's expected to use different things here there, So you

807
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: work on the communication, you work on the nuances within

808
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: the structure of a play or even okay, well we

809
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: have this route. This is actually because it's tied into

810
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: this that it compliments off of that all of those

811
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: things and as opposed to a rookies head spinning or

812
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: a guy just trying to digest as much as he can,

813
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is a true offseason format we're going

814
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: back to, which is great, and that's why it's so

815
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: important for everybody to get on the same page. You

816
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: utilize this time that it isn't ramped up. It's not

817
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: a game plan scenario. It's a foundation building thing. And

818
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: so to get everybody here, to get everybody throwing together

819
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: is really really important to be able to talk through that.

820
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: The individual routes that become part of the cons have

821
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: become part of the adjustments based off of what the

822
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: defense has seen. There's a systematic approach that needs to

823
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: be taken to it year two for those veterans returning

824
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: year two, for those rookies that are coming back for

825
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: a second season. We've heard and we talked about Ron

826
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: del Moore. We've heard from wide receivers coach Sean Jefferson

827
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: earlier this offseason on the Big Red Rage about re

828
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: increasing Moore's use down the field. Well, our colleague Danny Serek,

829
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: on a brand new show Game On, had a chance

830
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: to ask rondel Moore about heading into his second year.

831
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: How are you expecting your first full offseason to help

832
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: you take that leap in Tier two? Yeah? I think

833
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: this offseason I really wanted to get more in tune

834
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: with my body. I started doing mill prep, started pilates,

835
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: which I had just learned about when I got here.

836
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: So just a group of people who can help me

837
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: obtain the goals I want to complete for this season.

838
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: How do you see your role expanding in the offenses

839
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: year Yeah. Obviously you saw the impact that Christian had

840
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: last year, and I got a chance to learn from

841
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: him and kind of see how he went about being

842
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: a pro every day. So you know, I'm excited to

843
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: step in and kind of fill that role or whatever's

844
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: asking me. So however that plans out, I'm excited for

845
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: more with Danny Zarek and Rondel Waring. You know the

846
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinal's official YouTube page. It is game on kind

847
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: of like a little informal interview as they're out playing

848
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: mini basketball. But interesting MJ to hear Rondel say, learn

849
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: about his body and better to do it now, earlier

850
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: in your career as opposed to later, because that can

851
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: extend your career by a couple of seasons. Yeah, we

852
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: never know. You always say, you know, after Thanksgiving, maybe

853
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: rookies will hit the wall because then they play eleven

854
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: or twelve games unless you get to the National Championship game.

855
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: But you know, to me, he learned something from a

856
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: Christian Curry, take care of your body. Obviously, they want

857
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: to get his route tree a lot more, and you know,

858
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how they're going to use them.

859
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you could put him in the slot, and

860
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: you can put them on the outside. You go for wide.

861
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna have a big role besides

862
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: Hopkins and zach Ertz, and James Connor. I think he

863
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: could be your second or third receiver wide receivers coach

864
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: John Jefferson High on rondel More. AJ Green High on

865
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore. Well, he's very capable. I think people get

866
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: lost in what he did last year and how he

867
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: was used. But if you go look at his college take,

868
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: the guy has great hands, great routes, great run out

869
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: there to catch. So I like he's gonna make a

870
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: huge leap from last year to this year. It's gonna

871
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: be special as a guy that works his butt off

872
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: as well. That was AJ Green on a recent episode

873
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: of The Big Red Rage. There's no question drew that

874
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: heading into year two for a Day two pick at

875
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver as well as he played, and there were

876
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: some flashes and there's some lulls in which he kind

877
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: of disappeared Rondel Moore. I think there are gonna be

878
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: a lot more eyes on him within this offense here

879
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, for sure. I mean you're always

880
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: looking for guys like that to make a jump, and

881
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: there's reason to believe that he will. I mean you

882
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: just listen to the way that he talks, right, he

883
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: talks with the presidence. He talks with a purpose, he

884
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: talks with a confidence and a maturity that's not readily

885
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: available to guys nowadays. And you look at where he's

886
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: coming from. It's always a work in progress, and he

887
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: says that he knows that, and you hear the way

888
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: that his teammates talk about he is going to continue

889
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: to progress and it will be interesting to see how

890
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: far he can progress. I think that he wants to

891
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: do more, obviously from the standpoint of the whole picture.

892
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: And for rookies, it is a lot. A lot gets

893
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: thrown in your play in that rookie while you're talking

894
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: about it's real because it's not just football. It's balancing

895
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: all of those things. And finding that balance is key

896
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: and I truly believe he will because he's searching for it. Well,

897
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: you could tell. One of the deep dives they did

898
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: after the season was, you know, just listen to Sean

899
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: Jefferson on the Big Red Rage and then listening to

900
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: Cliff at the combine. They felt like when they went

901
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: back and did a deep dive that they want to

902
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: use them in different fattis now so, but listen, he

903
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: reminded me of an quin as a rookie, just a

904
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: mental maturity, no nonsense guy. I mean, he wants to

905
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: be great in this league and he'll put the work in.

906
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about his year number two. And he's

907
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: got two good guys in that locker room to watch,

908
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: and that's DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Green two number one

909
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers who have been in the least for a

910
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: long long time. Now, I will say this, even with

911
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: AJ greenback and Rondel Moore going into year two, I

912
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: would put wide receivers still up there, whether that's day

913
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: one or day two, to continue to build your point

914
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: drew because wide receivers aren't getting paid. Deander Hopkins is

915
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty entering in this season. So that's a

916
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: position all of a sudden, like edge rusher, tackle, quarterback,

917
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: that is becoming a high priority for teams because of

918
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: what the money has become. Yeah, well, I think you

919
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: look at it two different ways. The value that exists there, right,

920
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: does it make sense to be able to take it there?

921
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: And we saw last year the strength and numbers unfortunately

922
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 1: didn't work for this offense at wide receiver. Right, because

923
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: we were all excited saying, okay, who's gonna step up.

924
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: Who's gonna take the bull by the horns? Nobody really

925
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: did know a lot of those guys are back, but

926
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 1: they're also back from the standpoint they're another year fresh

927
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: in this system, So there's reason for optimism there. You

928
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: would love to be able to add to that room,

929
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: and I think it makes sense. A healthy competition is

930
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: always good for everybody across the board, and you need depth,

931
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: especially at that position as we saw it last year.

932
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: So there's ways to make it all fit into what

933
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: you want to. But yeah, at some point they're going

934
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: to draft a wide receiver. They need to do that

935
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: because the slim pickings left in free agency. Maybe you

936
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: go try and find a guy that's undrafted that has

937
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: a lot of upside, or you put your you know,

938
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: you put all of that trust in one of these

939
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: guys at the top of the first round. Jamison Williams

940
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: does see fall Treylon Brooks, who's been bocked to the

941
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals quite a bit, perhaps the six two wide out

942
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: out of Arkansas. Hey, all I know is this time

943
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: next week the draft will be over. We'll have hopefully

944
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: eight maybe more new faces, and the Arizona Cardinals move

945
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: on to the next step. I'm looking for chaos. I

946
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: want to see a lot of traits. It is going

947
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: to be great theater because as everyone who covers the

948
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: draft and follows it and reports on it, a lot

949
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: of unknown that's expected. That's about the only thing that

950
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: we know with respect to the twenty twenty two NFL Draft. Hey,
