00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 3: And quite sometimes, Yeah, it's getting hard to getting used

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 3: to these Tuesdays and Thursdays. For one thing, I don't

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: know what to do with myself on those and now

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,880

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 3: law actually in Indiana, PA, and that was fun. But yeah,

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: it's I always have a little bit of a hangover

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 3: this time of year. Like I'm psyched dig into free

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: agency and learn more about draft and have time, but

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 3: sometimes I look around, I'm like, I'm not sure where

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be right now.

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I watched a lot of college basketball over the

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: weekend there, so get caught up in some of that.

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, as we say that, there are deadlines approaching stuff.

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: The calendar is full.

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: Tomorrow Tuesday will be the first day that teams can

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: franchise tag place the franchise tag on players. And just

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: looking here at some of the values, the projected franchise

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: tag value at quarterback is thirty six point three six million. Okay,

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: at linebacker it's twenty two point seven nine to four.

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: It's really gone up.

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah.

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: Defensive tackle is twenty point nine eight six. Okay, uh,

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: you got wide receiver at twenty point seven to one four,

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: defensive end at twenty point two four to seven. You

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: wouldn't think the defensive end would be that far down

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: that list like that.

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure how they're calculating.

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: That offensive line. They're all considered one.

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is off for the tackle. I mean that's yeah,

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: some of these dispecials.

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: It's great for the interior.

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: Great for the interior.

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, nineteen point nine two five. Cornerback is eighteen point

38
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: eight oh two. You'd think that would be higher on.

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: You'd think that'd be higher. But yeah, they're starting to

40
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: get the big contracts. But it's not as crazy as

41
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: you think in the corner market.

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Safety is sixteen point twenty five eight.

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: That's really gone.

44
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: That's that was that used to be a value. I

45
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: was shocked at the yah that was that high. Tight

46
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: end is twelve point zero five.

47
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I have won.

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: Those guys still get the short end of the stick. Yeah,

49
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: I mean the Kittles and Kelsey's of the world.

50
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Running back eleven point three four eight.

51
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: Okay, And we've talked about fifty year options, which is

52
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: a totally different story. But Nause's only a six point

53
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: six fifty year option hit. And if you want to

54
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: franchise them next year, it'd be in that neighbor it'll.

55
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Be in that neighborhood.

56
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: Right.

57
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: Kickers and punters five point six eight two, So kickers

58
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: a lot to basically make half as that the franchise

59
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: tag is half as much as running backs.

60
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's rough.

61
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: That's insane.

62
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 3: It's insane. It really is crazy. But we're gonna see

63
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: some I mean, we're gonna definitely see some tags used

64
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: here in the coming couple of days.

65
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Ago.

66
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: Well, and here's you know, when the franchise tag was

67
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: was thought up? When when the whole idea of this,

68
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: It was a franchise player.

69
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: Right, It wasn't a kicker.

70
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: It wasn't a kick right.

71
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way I remember it now, I can't speak

72
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: NBA very well, but it was kind of the NFL's

73
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: version of the Larry Bird rule. I think they didn't

74
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: want Larry Bird and Magic Johnson just going to the

75
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: highest bidder every couple of years and changing teams. They

76
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: want the identities and it's not really how it's translated

77
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: to football.

78
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: No, not at all.

79
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: No, And you don't really see the transition tag used

80
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: at all anymore. No, that's rare too, you know, because

81
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: that's all you're doing is up in the price of the.

82
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: Of the contract.

83
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: So looking here at some potential guys who might get

84
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: tagged tomorrow, and obviously there's nobody for the Steelers.

85
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna get No, No, they're in good shape in this.

86
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking here at CBS Sports. None for the Cardinals.

87
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I thought you're in a position by position. No, No,

88
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: that makes sense.

89
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: They could do Marquise Brown, but you're not gonna pay

90
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: him twenty point seven million.

91
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: I'm curious what he gets on the open market, and

92
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: it'd be I think he's an interesting piece, but he's

93
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: not a franchise player.

94
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Nobody for the Falcons.

95
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: You know it makes sense?

96
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Sorry, Yeah, the Ravens with Justin Mattabuque.

97
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's conversation.

98
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,559
Speaker 1: Twenty one million dollars for Justin Mattabuque.

99
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for one year, and it's guaranteed, folks. I mean,

100
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure everybody realizes that it is guaranteed.

101
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: Many, you know, does he sign It's thing that's the

102
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: other parts of your into this.

103
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: You tick players off too because they don't like it,

104
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: although I still don't quite understand why they don't. They

105
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: hate it so much. I mean, well, I think you'd

106
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: get the signing bonus. I get that.

107
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: I've talked to different guys about this over the years.

108
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: The guys who haven't made a lot of money yet, like.

109
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: A Mata Buquet. Yeah, I mean, it's just on a

110
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: rookie deal, wasn't first round pick.

111
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, I'll take twenty one million.

112
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna give me a twenty one million dollar

113
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: check right now, sign me up?

114
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah right.

115
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: The guys who Mike Evans might not be a thrilled

116
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: about it, right.

117
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Mike Evans would not like it because this is his

118
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: last chance for a big, a big time contract.

119
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Guys look at a different ways as well.

120
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I think it comes down to

121
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: how much money you have in the bank.

122
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: I would say Mike Evans might have sixty million more

123
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: in the bank than Matabuke. Yeah. No, I don't know

124
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: what it is. I'm just pulling number on my butt,

125
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: but I mean whatever.

126
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: And I think your age comes into play as well,

127
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: But I just guaranteed. Then you argue to the half

128
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: of the year. Again, if you're a twenty six or

129
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: twenty seven year old player, let's say it came into

130
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: into the.

131
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: League a little later.

132
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you.

133
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: Get franchise, and now you're going to be twenty eight

134
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 2: or twenty nine when you're hitting that you might not

135
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: get third you're not going to get a third contract

136
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: out if they're they're taking that third contract away from you.

137
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: And what we alway talked about to get a second

138
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: contract in a third contract, it's really a second signing bonus,

139
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: a third signing bonus, because sometimes I don't see the

140
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: end of those deals anyway. But let's go to the

141
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: teams against. Still didn't mean sid.

142
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: For the Bills, they're not they're not franchise. They're fifty

143
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: one million dollars over the cap. They can't afford the franchise.

144
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: Now they're going to lose some stuff.

145
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: For the Carolina Panthers, it's Brian Burns, that's a twenty

146
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: point two million dollars.

147
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: They got a ton of cap. Phase.

148
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: I think you do it, Yeah, I think you have to.

149
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: But is he going to be happy with it. There's

150
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: been no, he's not been a happy marriage.

151
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: I don't think No, there's been rumors, not for two

152
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: years that you know, when's he getting paid? It is

153
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: he want out, et cetera. I don't know. I mean,

154
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: if I'm the GM or an ownership of Panthers, it's

155
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: time to start putting some roots down now, Like you know,

156
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: you know, how many good players do you have keep?

157
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: You're going to keep them?

158
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: For the Bears, it's Jalen Johnson.

159
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: They's a six possibility.

160
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: They have sixty seven million dollars in cap space. They

161
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: can't afford to let him walk on.

162
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: Now, I didn't give and corners. It might be more

163
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: make more sense to franchise them than to slap a

164
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: three year deal on him, because it is a kind

165
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: of a voll little position.

166
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Yet, hear that being said, he is twenty four years old.

167
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: I know he's a nice investment.

168
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah for the Bengal but he may not mind it.

169
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a ton in the bank. Yeah, he's

170
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: one of those kind of guys, right for the Bengals,

171
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: it's T Higgins.

172
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: The T Higgins is an interesting Yeah, it's twenty point

173
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: seven million he was a second round draft picks. He's

174
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: kind of in that same boat that Le'Veon Bell was in,

175
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: where Le'Veon made more on the franchise tag. His first year,

176
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: he made as much on the franchise tag as he

177
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: had made previously in his first four years.

178
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: In the league all together. Yeah. Yeah, So Higgins would

179
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 3: be thrilled with that. And well, I don't know. I

180
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: can't speak for him, but I would think, hey, I'll

181
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: take that twenty million or whatever it hit the free

182
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: agency market again a year from that.

183
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: At the same time, he might look at it and say,

184
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: I get on the open market, it'll be more than

185
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to get one hundred million dollars and I'm

186
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: going to get three year deal or fifty million.

187
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what would Carolina give him? Yeah, you know right now,

188
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: that's a good point. You probably would get more. Big

189
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: picture for sure. He's also not coming off a tremendous years.

190
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: It's not I don't think people care about it.

191
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they do either.

192
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: I think it's very excusable.

193
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think if I if I'm Higgins, I

194
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: don't want to be franchised.

195
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: But how often does it work? I mean, it's not

196
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: exactly what you said. But you get franchise, you complain

197
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: about it, you don't sign it, then you sign it.

198
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: I mean almost all runs a while. You'll get a

199
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: trade out of the deal or whatever, or it goes into.

200
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Well, we saw this past season. We saw a couple

201
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: of guys that didn't sign it.

202
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: I think Chris Jones missed a game or two.

203
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: Chris Jones sat out, Saquon Barkley was sitting out, and.

204
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: Both those teams reach Jacobs.

205
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: Redid the contracts a little bit to give them a

206
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: little bit more money.

207
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did to them.

208
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: We're running backs, two of them.

209
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: Are running backs with Jacob's and yeah, Barkley.

210
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Hunter did that too. I thought about franchise though.

211
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: He wasn't franchised, but they did move some money around

212
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: for him, you know, just gave him more upfront. Yeah,

213
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, no one sits out the

214
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: year though, I mean left Bell is the last one

215
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: that did anything crazy like that.

216
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, but you know, I think I

217
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: think Higgins will For a guy like Higgins who does

218
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: who hasn't made a ton of money, I mean he's

219
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: made more money than you know, you were I.

220
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: Oh sure, but I mean he's a star in the NFL.

221
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: He doesn't have fifty million in earnings or anything.

222
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I you know this, this might be his

223
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to cash in in a big way. And yeah,

224
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: you know, if he goes back to Cincinnati again next year,

225
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: he's still number two.

226
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: He's still number two, making twenty almost twenty one million,

227
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: which is a nice bomp. Like the Bell conversation. It's

228
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: gonna happen, though, they're gonna franchise them. I mean, I

229
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: don't think they What if he tests the market, he's

230
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: not coming back.

231
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cleveland has nobody and they really can't afford. They're

232
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: nineteen point six million dollars over.

233
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: The cap as we speak.

234
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Dallas, Tony Pollard, I don't I don't see

235
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: them franchise tag.

236
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: But that's the money's not ridiculous.

237
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: No, we talked to me. Running backs are feasible, and

238
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: he got a little better. He's went on and I

239
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: think the whole world realized he's not a workhorse, but

240
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 3: he's a good player. I think he answers no.

241
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: But they did. They only they paid him ten points.

242
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: They paid him basically a little over ten million last year,

243
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: so this is kind of the same. Yeah, it's not

244
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: that big of a bump, which I'm kind of.

245
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 3: Surprised that he got ten million last year. They have

246
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: a bad habit of paying their own guys too much.

247
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if you even work on like a

248
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: two year deal with them.

249
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: The problem is they don't have anybody else.

250
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: They don't.

251
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean they even drafted anybody forever. Yeah, so that's

252
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: an odd one.

253
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: I bet no.

254
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean they could. They could get two

255
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: guys for five million each.

256
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: I mean, what would Derreck Henry cost you at this

257
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: time in the age of his career. Less?

258
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Probably probably, you know, Denver has nobody.

259
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're twenty four point one million dollars over the cap,

260
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: which is crazy considering they don't have any talent.

261
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: And I think that's still with Wilson on the books. Yeah,

262
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: I mean I didn't know. He didn't say much.

263
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: But he's gonna be dead money regardles to be dead money.

264
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a June one guy. Yeah, that's a bad Yeah,

265
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: they're not.

266
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: They made some bad decisions, like they could traded Justin

267
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Simmons or something else.

268
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 3: There's some cap dubs.

269
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: The Lions are interesting.

270
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: Well, they're talking about resigning golf. Yeah, they got a

271
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: couple free agents of note, not monster.

272
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: They got CJ.

273
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: Gardner, Johnson, Graham Glasgow, Jonah Jackson.

274
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: Ranchise.

275
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: But you're not Yeah, you're not going to pay an

276
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: interior offensive line in nineteen twenty million.

277
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: Even if it was ragged. Now, I don't know you will.

278
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Gardner Johnson safeties aren't crazy.

279
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's gonna get that though. I

280
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: think at the market, green Bay has nobody. They're looking

281
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: at AJ Dillon, John Runny and Daver there. Yeah, they're

282
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: two point nine million over the cap as well, they're

283
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: not going to be big spenders.

284
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Houston, Dalton Schultz.

285
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: Tight ends aren't crazy.

286
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: No, it's that's twelve point one million dollars. I think

287
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: you might get it. Yeah, that's one that you could.

288
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, they've got fifty seven million in cap space.

289
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: No, I think you want to keep that inten for

290
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: a young quarterback and he's been a quality player.

291
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: And sixty catches last year's over six hundred yards, Like.

292
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a good candidate for that. I

293
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: never thought of him in that light, but yeah, considering

294
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: the price and what tight ends on the open market.

295
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 3: Get I think Ingram's making him like ten or eleven.

296
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: Making him like thirteen? Is he say that the Colts

297
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: is Michael Pittman. I think that was twenty point seven

298
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: million dollars for him.

299
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 3: They have the money, right, yeah, yeah.

300
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Josh Allen, the edge rusher.

301
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: That's a yes. So I don't think Ridley's gonna get it,

302
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: and you can't give out too well.

303
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing was, I just saw this today with Ridley.

304
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: If they resign.

305
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: Him, yeah right now, they owe Atlanta a third round

306
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: draft pick if they resigned those Jacksonville resigns him, it

307
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: becomes a second round draft pick.

308
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: Okay, that goes to.

309
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 2: Carolina, which is interesting because if that happens, then all

310
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: the all the mock drafts and things that we have done,

311
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: the Jaguars are one of those teams that are center needy. Yes,

312
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: they absolutely are, and they have picks a ahead of

313
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: the Steelers of course, all the way through the draft.

314
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so you'd like them to disappear from one

315
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 3: maybe right, Okay, that's interesting, yeah, because they're right before

316
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: the I.

317
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Mean Carolina could draft the center too, but that's.

318
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 3: Or I don't think Atlanta, would you know with the

319
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: Ridley pick, Yeah, you know that's interesting though, But they've

320
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: been talking about Yeah, South Carolina they could well, there's

321
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: a lot of talk that they could cut Zay Jones.

322
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: But do you want to cut Zay Jones for cap reasons?

323
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: Franchise Allen and let Ridley hit the market. That's a

324
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: lot of pass catchers and stuff that's not out there.

325
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: And they're also now eligible to extend Lawrence too, which

326
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: is going to get pricey.

327
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Of course, Kansas City it's lugerious sneed they can't do.

328
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: Christian Jones is ineligible. Yeah, they could fit both in,

329
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: especially with the Mahomes restructure.

330
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: That's coming up, but not really do anything else.

331
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 3: Then you're kind of stuck and you'll get Mike Evan.

332
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: You're basically running it back and you're going to lose

333
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: two of their two of their their inside lineback.

334
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: May g it a couple pieces of rank, will I

335
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: mean those guys and need to get offensive tackles. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

336
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: they've got other pieces up right.

337
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: It'd be hard, I mean, it'd be risky to put

338
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 3: all your chips in Jones and snead. Yeah, but it's good.

339
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: They have fifteen point two million in available cap space. Now,

340
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: obviously they could create some more. I just can they

341
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: create forty million?

342
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: Just do like a thirty five million dollar bonus coming

343
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: up here you could turn into other stuff or whatever.

344
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: But they could do two big deals, not three.

345
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

346
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: For the Raiders, nobody. They don't see him franchise tagging

347
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs in a very good year. He didn't, I

348
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: get it. But yeah, but they're also not that expensive either. Yeah,

349
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: it'd be a second it'd be a second one. So

350
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: you get a fifteen or ten percent rais or whatever

351
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: the twenty percent, I can't remember exactly what it was.

352
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: He should be listed though, as a candidate at least.

353
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

354
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 4: Yeah.

355
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: For the Chargers, Austin Ekelar, that ain't happening.

356
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: No, I think he's walking.

357
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Nobody. For the Rams, okay, Miami, Christian Wilkins, Yeah, but boy,

358
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: they're over the cap.

359
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: They're fifty one almost fifty two million over the cap,

360
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: and Wilkins would be twenty one million dollars.

361
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's gonna get a little more than that

362
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: on the open work. It's a lot like bat to Bouquet.

363
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I mean those two teams,

364
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: the more homework I've done in the cap, they could

365
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: be the ones hit the hardest these next couple of

366
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: weeks in free agencies like Miami and.

367
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: I saw something over the weekend. I was listening to

368
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: a show and they were talking about the teams that

369
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: are in it for the long, long haul. They mentioned

370
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: Baltimore and Miami. I'm like, I don't know they're gonna

371
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: look anything close to what they look.

372
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: Like this year, and at least Baltimore has a quarterback locked.

373
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: Yup. Miami is a huge conversation to have too. We

374
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: didn't mention that with Detroit, but Goff and two or

375
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: two that might be getting contracts here in the coming

376
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: weeks that aren't no Brain or Burrow Herbert type signings,

377
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: you know, and what those number are going to come

378
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: in at. Miami pushed their chips in too hard.

379
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Minnesota is Kirk Cousins. He made thirty five million

380
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: last year.

381
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: He's eligible even though he's been franchised Washington.

382
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Ye, not by this team, okay, but.

383
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: That counts his first one for them. Yeah, Okay, So

384
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: like restarts, if you're with a new team. Yeah, okay,

385
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: it wouldn't be his third one.

386
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: Nobody for New England.

387
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: No for this, which is about you tell you douggers possibility,

388
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: I would say, dugger is.

389
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: It's not a ridiculous cost.

390
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: Right right now? I think he could get franchised.

391
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: They have sixty six million dollars in cap space. I

392
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: could buy them some time while they deal with some

393
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: other guys.

394
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: He's another perfect example of day two pick that's never

395
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: really made a lot. He'd be happy with it, probably.

396
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: You know, the Saints is nobody there once again the

397
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: cap number see three million dollars over the cap again.

398
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're old and it's nuts. I mean, I

399
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: know they can get out of a lot of deals

400
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: and they've prepared for this day, but it's still this

401
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: time of year is always bonkers for the Saints.

402
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: Uh, Sakuon Barkley.

403
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: Maybe, I mean, do you want to give a running

404
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: back a second deal if you don't think you're a contender,

405
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: I mean a second franchise. But he's still pretty arn important.

406
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the big part of your offense. Yeah, and again

407
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: it buys you some time. You can always rescind.

408
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: It true, which I always think is a little little yeah, hinky, Yeah,

409
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: it's a little strange part of it.

410
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: For the Jets, nobody, No, I don't.

411
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: Think huff for any of those guys are worth it. Yeah.

412
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: For the Eagles, nobody.

413
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: That adds up, yeah, obviously.

414
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: For the Steelers nobody. For the forty nine ers nobody.

415
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're up against some things, but it looks like

416
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: they can pretty much run their their same squad back.

417
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: They don't have a massive decisions.

418
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: They're twelve point four over the cap. I think next

419
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: year becomes the year.

420
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they could even go add I don't want to

421
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 3: say another hard grave like they did last year, but

422
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: they could add somebody still.

423
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: They really somebody in the secondary is what they really need.

424
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: I would I'd love to see them.

425
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: If I were them, I would consider signing somebody in

426
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: the secondary draft oh line yeah.

427
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: Uh.

428
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: For the Seahawks Leonard Williams, I.

429
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: Don't see it. I mean, he's gotten it before in

430
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: his career, not with them. Yeah, so I guess that

431
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 3: would be the first one. I think he'll get paid nicely.

432
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: I mean I think he'll be in the fifteen ish

433
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: inge sixteen. Maybe it's a good player, but he's not

434
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 3: a special player. Yeah, I don't know if they will

435
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: do it or not.

436
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: I think they they get to try to resign him

437
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: because you can't have you can't trade a second runner

438
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: draft pick for a half year rental and then don't

439
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: make the playoffs.

440
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe that's a total peak Carrol decision. And

441
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: you know, I know he's still in the organization, but still,

442
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: I mean you gave he gave away a second round

443
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: pick for them, Yeah, just a run them.

444
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: What about Jordan Brooks for them?

445
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: I don't think I'd like to see him at the

446
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: open market.

447
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: They'll let him walk right then when they have an

448
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: inside line nothing they got nothing.

449
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: They have not nobody's a contra mix and what's his face?

450
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: Is getting old and his contracts up as well. Wagner, No,

451
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: they would be a glaring need. Like they should probably

452
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: talk to both those guys.

453
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: Now to try try to get them Mark, But are you.

454
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 3: Super excited if you're the player to do that now?

455
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: You know, for Tampa Bay it's Mike Evans or Winfield

456
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: or Winfield Winfield to be cheaper.

457
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: That's a tough decision, or Baker or Baker. Yeah, Yeah,

458
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I use a franchise tag on Baker.

459
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

460
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: Baker's been around with enough teams now where he's bounced

461
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: around enough that I don't see him wanting to go

462
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: anywhere else.

463
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: I agree, And really I don't think he hits the

464
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: open market. But if he did, how many teams would

465
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: really pay him? Like a starter starter? You know, Like

466
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: wouldn't be Steelers, you know. I mean, if you're the Raiders,

467
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 3: you're not giving him twenty five million to be my guy.

468
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he should be happy there. But

469
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 3: Winfield Evans is interesting. I thought about that when I

470
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: talked about the Chiefs, you know, Sneed versus Jones. I

471
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: might invest in Winfield.

472
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: It's a younger player. But what's their offense look like?

473
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: Without Evans?

474
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: It'd be bad?

475
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: Thirteen touchdown catches last year.

476
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: I don't think you could tag Levonte David, but you'd

477
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: like to have him back to you know, so they

478
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 3: have some key ones.

479
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the Titans, nobody they have sixty seven almost

480
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: sixty eight million dollars in cap space.

481
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, their GM job is kind of interesting if Levis

482
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 3: is the guy, and he'll at least get a whole

483
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 3: year to figure it out.

484
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: Uh.

485
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: And then for Washington nobody, and they have seventy three

486
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: million dollars and they got.

487
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: A ton of they got a ton of picks. Yeah,

488
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: they have their flush with picks them and the Bears

489
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: have a lot of picks in cap space. There's a

490
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: couple of teams that are have a lot of cards

491
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: in there.

492
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: That makes more sense than teams like the Saints being

493
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: eighty million dollars.

494
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: Over the cap exactly. It's like a lot of spending

495
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 3: on even New England all of a sudden has a

496
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: lot of nice pieces that there are a lot of

497
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: nice Oh.

498
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: They had this a couple of years ago and they okay,

499
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: screwed it up.

500
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, screwed it up. I doubt Cam Curral would be

501
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: a second tag, but he's playing on the tag right

502
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: now in safety.

503
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: So that would be one that you probably can get done.

504
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: You're going to overpay for the cap.

505
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: Space, the cap space if you if you like him

506
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 3: and he's a foundational player. But that's all new ownership.

507
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: GM coaches, they may look at things totally different. Yeah,

508
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 3: new quarterback, but.

509
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 2: The day to tomorrow is the first day that they

510
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: can start doing that. So we'll see those those name

511
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: they have some time between now and I think it's

512
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks here.

513
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: Is that long?

514
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that they have to make those decisions. We're

515
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna get to a break.

516
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lollie. You're listening

517
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be

518
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: back with more right after this.

519
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back. He is the Matt Williamson.

520
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: I'm Dale Lollie, and you're listening to the drive here

521
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio. And as we get closer and

522
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: closer to that March thirteenth deadline, Uh fourteen used to

523
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: be under the salary, right and when free agency starts,

524
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: that's the start of the let's the start of.

525
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 3: The new league. Yeah.

526
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to also start looking. As we talked

527
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: about in the previous segment, a lot of teams being

528
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: over the cap right now, a lot They got to

529
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: do some things to get under the cap and make

530
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: some adjustments there. So NFL dot Com Matt Okada takes

531
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: a look here at some potential salary cap cuts.

532
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: Oh, there's gonna be a lot across the league here,

533
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: and Silas got ahead of it.

534
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm shocked they were like the only

535
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: team that was that proactive.

536
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: And I don't know why. I don't know. I just

537
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 3: think it's a favor to the players to get them

538
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: out on the market as soon as possible. Some of

539
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: these teams know some guys they're cutting.

540
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: And just if you know you're not going to keep them,

541
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: then yeah, get.

542
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 3: Them out there now. Help the player out, build some

543
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: good will in the room.

544
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: So looking here at the AFC, and the Steelers.

545
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: Aren't done by the way, you know, they're not great,

546
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: and they've got some guys on this list.

547
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: Bet Uh.

548
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: The first guy up here is Nick Chubb.

549
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: That's so unfortunate. I know that it's the rival Browns,

550
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: but he's been so easy to root for and such

551
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: a good player.

552
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: Yet a fifteen point eight million dollar ran back and

553
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: they save eleven point eight by releasing him.

554
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: I think that's like a fourgone conclusion. I think you

555
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: have to do it. I mean, he's twenty eight, just

556
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: be ready for the openee. Is he ready for the

557
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: opening day?

558
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

559
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably not if he ever plays yet.

560
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: I don't if he ever plays again. Right, him and

561
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 3: Dobbins are both in the division. Yeah, kind of feel

562
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: for him.

563
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: Uh, Joey Bosa or Khalil Mack.

564
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: Or both were both. Yeah, I mean so a lot

565
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 3: of these teams would love to trade Khalil Mack for

566
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: a seventh round pick.

567
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: These two guys.

568
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable of accommodation.

569
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: Their cap hit for next year they combined seventy five

570
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: million dollars.

571
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you kidding me? That's insane. And neither ones

572
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: as good as they think as you think they are

573
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: either like Mac had a big game and had a

574
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: decent year.

575
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Ma's actually the better plays the better of.

576
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: The two, right, Bosa has been disappointing and missus time consistently.

577
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: I mean on the open market, they would do well.

578
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: Maybe a team would take don't.

579
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't see anybody taking on that contract.

580
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: Right as I say, like the Bears who just kind

581
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: of did that with you know, we have a ton

582
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: of cap space with Dave Won Bosa or something like that.

583
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: Not for those prices, I know, they're just bad contracts.

584
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: That's like paying you know, you know for a Ferrari

585
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: and you get a get a Volkswagen.

586
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah that's an okay car, but not at all what

587
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: you paid for. No, are they going by team here

588
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: because just say, like Mike william there could be other

589
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: Chargers on the life still oh there are okay.

590
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: Okay, Mike Williams or Keenan Allen.

591
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's sounds of things. They prefer Allen. Those

592
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: two is also Bonker.

593
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: Combhind was it sixty seven million dollars.

594
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: So they're like one hundred and forty between those three.

595
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: Million dollars for four players that were Allen's.

596
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: The only one I'd say is a really good player

597
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: except he's got to me thirty two. Except he's old

598
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: now right, Yeah, Like I know this is a side note,

599
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 3: but we were looking at Super Bowl odds today on

600
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: my podcast, and the Chargers are noticeably shorter odds the Steelers.

601
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: Which is ridiculous. Oh your mind.

602
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: You know, like this team is going to look rough

603
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 3: and they're gonna lose a lot of depth plus what

604
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: people consider their stars. I could see big changes, you know,

605
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: or maybe trading down from five, especially for quarterbacks there

606
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: and try to get up, you know, build some future asset.

607
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: No, but you're paying your quarterback like this is a

608
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: two or three year bill for them.

609
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, besides, like Herbert Slater, anyone else you

610
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: want let's saw trade, maybe like a Ion Johnson because

611
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: he's young and he's a lineman. But other than that,

612
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: you want somebody from the Chargers. Give him a call.

613
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: Derwin James call him up. Yeah, he's a bad contract too.

614
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: For the Jets, it's CJ. Moseley.

615
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 3: Here's still a pretty good player, but he signed a

616
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: crazy deal. But he left the Ravens one hundred years ago.

617
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's not I mean it's they

618
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: would free up eleven million dollars if they cut him now,

619
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: it's seventeen million if they designate him.

620
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Post you in first.

621
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: I think he'd rather way much money. Yeah yeah, Uhrmaion

622
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 3: would be their best linebacker. Yeah, Quinn Williams a better

623
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: player than he is.

624
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: Trudeavious White, would you consider CJ.

625
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: Moseley as a Steeler? I mean, like, once he hits

626
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 3: the open market and you talk about a reasonable contract.

627
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: He's older than he's always old.

628
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: He's old.

629
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it wouldn't be the worst thing. But yeah,

630
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: it's a one year rental.

631
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a one year deal. Yeah. I'd rather call

632
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 3: Jordan Brooks fix anything.

633
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Trudevious White.

634
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 3: It's another unfortunate one. It's not really his fault.

635
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: He's missed thirty games in the last three years.

636
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: You got to move on. Yeah, yeah, you got to.

637
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: That's tough.

638
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: It only saves them, It only saves him six million

639
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: on the cap, but their cap is tight.

640
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: It's six million that they need and.

641
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: Even if they they they have it could be ten

642
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: point two million if it's a post June first case.

643
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: But but strangely people, you can designate him post June first. Yeah,

644
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: it doesn't have to happen out on June first.

645
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you have to do it. Then you

646
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: have to you can't change Oh no, we change our

647
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: mind on that.

648
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: No, I forget what the numbers are. But the von

649
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 3: Miller contract is almost as bad as like the Khalil

650
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: mac contract. He's getting awful.

651
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: A bunch of dolphins on here. Dolphins are in trouble

652
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: to Ron Armstead, he doesn't You can't get seventeen games

653
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: out of him, and you never will.

654
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 3: Like everyone in the world knows that.

655
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would free up eight point eight million dollars

656
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 2: for them. They're fifty more than fifty million over the cap, so.

657
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: They're starting centers up. I think Hunt is up. I

658
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: know Wilkins, I'm talking about old lineman. Oh okay, Isaiah

659
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: Winn played a lot for them. He only signed a

660
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 3: one year deal, and you might have to cut Armstead.

661
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 3: I mean just the O line almost has to be

662
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: an O line pick for Miami in the first round.

663
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 3: And they don't money, they don't have any money, and

664
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 3: they don't they don't go a quarterback on a contract.

665
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's probably getting cut.

666
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 3: I would think, I mean not to mention the Wilkins

667
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: of the world and guys like that that are gonna

668
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 3: be expensive.

669
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: He's avi and Howard he's expensive.

670
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

671
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: Cutting Howard post June first would clear up eighteen point

672
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: five million dollars for them.

673
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 3: He's cut, gone, gone. I didn't realize it was that

674
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: big of a savings. There's no way their rosters better

675
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: next year than that was this year. No way. Emmanuel

676
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: Ogba another Dolphin would.

677
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: Free up thirteen point seven million dollars.

678
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: So they'll get under the cap quick, but they're gonna

679
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: lose they get replaced.

680
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: Defensive Yeah yeah, three three expensive things.

681
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: Exactly, and then all the resources to do it.

682
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: You got you got one first run draft pick, and

683
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: they haven't had some lately because.

684
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: The Hill deal. Yeah.

685
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: Uh for the Broncos Courtland Sutton or Tim Patrick.

686
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: Well, if Patrick Patrick's cut, yeaheah, he's been injured bad injuries. Yeah,

687
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: I'll be shocked they move on from Sutton though. Yeah,

688
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: they're twenty four million dollars over the cap. DJ Jones

689
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: with the Broncos, he would be uh, save them thirteen

690
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: million dollars against the cap.

691
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: How old is he? Do they say about you? They

692
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: don't say, yeah, I don't think he's crazy old, but no,

693
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: they Broncos don't have a good roster either. They don't

694
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean it. Or a quarterback?

695
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: Uh. J C.

696
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 2: Jackson with the Patriots now they don't have to cut him,

697
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: but he carries a fourteen point three million dollar cap

698
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: hit because of that big deal he signed with the Chargers.

699
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: They traded like a seventh round pick for him, like nothing,

700
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: just to take it. They could afford it, right, But

701
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 3: he's barely played for the I think he gets cut too.

702
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 3: Is coming back?

703
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: He's that's certainly not worth that.

704
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 3: No, no good for him forgetting the deal. But that

705
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: was a head scratcher when they made it that. You

706
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 3: know that deal.

707
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: Marquez Valdez Scantling. His cap hit is fourteen million dollars

708
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. He's worth like two Yeah, he's cut.

709
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: He's cut, Yes, and it's only two million in dead money.

710
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: He's cut.

711
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. Then they need to do something to our

712
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: receiver too. Yeah.

713
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 1: Tigas Bowser with the Ravens Ras are going to get

714
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: hit hard, save them five point five million dollars. But

715
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: he's been he's been.

716
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: A good player, that no brainer. Though. He's okay, and

717
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: van Noy and Clowney are both up.

718
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: But they signed those guys because he was out for

719
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: the season.

720
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was where is he medically? He

721
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: of course would know better than anyone. They need Away

722
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: and the Jabo to be guys, and they have. They've

723
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: been okay.

724
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah right Hunter Renfro thirteen point seven million dollar cap hit.

725
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 3: That was just a bad deal when they made it. Yeah,

726
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: I mean nobody, nobody wants them that they've even talked about.

727
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: They haven't, but insiders I put that in quote, have

728
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: talked about DeVante Adams could get traded. Yeah, if you're

729
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: the rare sense, I think he gets caught. Yeah, yeah,

730
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: but they'll have Myers they'll have Mayor, but really I

731
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: can see them going backwards too. The Raiders also are

732
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: the exact same super awards as the Steelers, which is

733
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: a huge.

734
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: Insane It's nothing. They don't have anything that's a bad roster.

735
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: CJ.

736
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: Iszoma carries an eleven point two million dollar capit with jets.

737
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: How many bad deals can they sign?

738
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and plus they even got to some of these dudes.

739
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: I don't feel even get that deep. But Lizard and

740
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: Cobb and all these Rogers buddies that they have are rough.

741
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: And this is what happens when you sign these guys

742
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: in free agency. Yeah, you go shopping in the wall

743
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: day at a bad tight end deal.

744
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: You end up paying CJ. Mosley eighteen million dollars year,

745
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: and you end up paying CJ. Isoma, Yeah, eleven point two.

746
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: I think he was the same year Jesse James left.

747
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: There was a bunch of bad tight end contracts that year.

748
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: You know, Johnny Smith and Hunter Henry and those type

749
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: of dudes too.

750
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: Deontay Hardy would save the Buffalo Bills four million dollars

751
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: to release him.

752
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: He's okay, he'd get picked up.

753
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's it's an expense. You can't care.

754
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: You can't carry that guy, right, he's a gadget dude

755
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: in a returner.

756
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 2: When you're fifty one million dollars over the cab, now,

757
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: can't do it. Same thing with nim Hines.

758
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: He would get the fortunately had the bad yeah accident.

759
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: Four point seven million dollars would go clear there gone, yeah,

760
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: Justin Reid with the Chiefs. Justin Reid would clear up

761
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: ten point eight million dollars in cap space for the Chiefs.

762
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 3: They might have to, we might have to.

763
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: They don't have anybody to replace him.

764
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: No, that's the top. I mean, I'd be interesting Justin

765
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: Reid on the open market. Yeah, you know, maybe he's

766
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: a restructure.

767
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, But if you're him, do you want a restructure? Like? No,

768
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: you signed me to deal. Yeah, I didn't force you.

769
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: To sound it's not as easy as some of these.

770
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: Andre Dillard is cut, Oh really cut.

771
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: He's awful.

772
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 2: What a bad deal that was too. He wasn't good

773
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: with the Eagles and completely wrong about him. But I

774
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: was completely wrong about him.

775
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: Were you high on him? I couldn't remember.

776
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: I thought that the Steeler should try to trade for

777
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: him last year when he could have got him for cheap.

778
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: You could have got him for cheap and it was

779
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: he's as bad.

780
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: As the game.

781
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: He's just bad.

782
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: He's bad.

783
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, justin Simmons, that one could be a trade eighteen

784
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: point three million dollar cap pit.

785
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: If you're not going to win this year, some team

786
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: might give you a seventh or sixth or fifth for him. Yeah.

787
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: I don't think I would if I'm the Steelers. I'm

788
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 3: sure people were jumping out their chairs because he can play,

789
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: but you don't want forty million in safety contracts. No,

790
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: that's yeah, that's a tough business.

791
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson would clear seven million dollars in savings.

792
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: It's possible or restructure or whatever. Yeah.

793
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Alan Robinson would get an eleven point nine million

794
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: dollar cap hit.

795
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: He's getting released, he's geta or they're going to restructure

796
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: that deal heavily.

797
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's not going to be close to that

798
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: kind of cappit.

799
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: And then finally Eric Kendricks with the Chargers. They would

800
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 2: save six point five million dollars for releasing Eric Kendricks.

801
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, no fault of his own, but he's not bad,

802
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 3: but Chargers are going to cut him.

803
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking here real quickly at the NFC.

804
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 3: No, there's names.

805
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, David Bacciari he's getting cut.

806
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can't stay healthy. Harrison Smith probably great career,

807
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: but he's expensive.

808
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: And he's old now. Shack Barrett getting cut.

809
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's expensive too, coming off injury.

810
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara probably they're way over the cap.

811
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean he caught a bunch of passes but

812
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: was not an effective runner this year.

813
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, I think he's back. Seventeen million dollar cap pit.

814
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: No, I didn't know that much. I thought it was

815
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 3: like twelve. They have nobody. Dylan's a free agent, so

816
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: that one's interesting. They could afford him if they wanted to.

817
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: Mario Davis's thirty five years old and has an eighteen

818
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: point two million dollar cap pit.

819
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: Bad same contracts, yeah, old old Saints. Yeah.

820
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: Kevin Byerd, well, that's why he got traded for Chief

821
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: fourteen point four million dollar capit.

822
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: They didn't play like that. Yeah.

823
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: Kenny Clark, Wow, twenty seven point five million dollar cap pit.

824
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: He's quite good though, he's good, But that's a restructure,

825
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: probably twenty seven and a half million dollars. Yeah, that's

826
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: a lot of money.

827
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: It's a lot of money.

828
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup or Brandon Cooks.

829
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: I don't know how you bring Gallop back.

830
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't do anything.

831
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: He doesn't do anything right. Yeah, Cooks has some value.

832
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: And they're nineteen point seven million over the cap. John

833
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: news Smith.

834
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 3: They get traded for nothing for this reason.

835
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Nine million dollar cap hit. They saved six point five

836
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: million by getting rid of him.

837
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: If he was on the open market at three, I'd

838
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: be interested in bringing him back with Arthur Smith. Yeah,

839
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: but they don't need a tight end. But I still

840
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: think he's good player. But that's a lot for him.

841
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Tracy Walker with the Lions. M he's okay, he's okay.

842
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: It would free up eight million dollars in cap space.

843
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: They have forty five million to play with, but they

844
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: might need more.

845
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, say I think you want bigger fish to fry

846
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: for the Lions.

847
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

848
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: Brian Allen or Jill Noteboom with the the Rams, Okay,

849
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: the one's great. Yeah. They signed note them three years

850
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: forty million dollars and Allen is three years eighteen million dollars.

851
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 3: I think both of them are a fair amount of time.

852
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been hurt a lot.

853
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

854
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, he's getting.

855
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: He's gone he's crazy expensive. Yeah, at least the Saints

856
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 3: have three or four guys in this.

857
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: Paying him quarterback money basically be a tight end.

858
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 3: And his contract's bizarre.

859
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: Mark Lewinsky five point seven million dollars. Anything with the Giants, Yeah.

860
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gone, Russell Gage gone, thirteen point four million

861
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: dollar cap hit are.

862
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 3: You kidding me? I'm a dozen guys and.

863
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: And Quandary Diggs twenty one point three million dollar camp pit.

864
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 2: They would save eleven million dollars by releasing it.

865
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: It sounds more like a restructure. I mean that's a

866
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: recent deal.

867
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. That's too much for him, Don't

868
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I think Love is a free agent.

869
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: I think Love is a free agent. Yeah, yes, he is, so.

870
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean they'd like to cut Adams to it, right, yeah,

871
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: which can't Yeah, I almost can't do that. I can

872
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: do that, yeah, right, troublesome.

873
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, with Leonard Williams.

874
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: Again. The one thing that these most of these guys

875
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: have in common is at one point they were free

876
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: agents and somebody and somebody overpaid them.

877
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 3: And all these guys, yeah, I mean, yeah, you're right,

878
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: almost all of them. I think what's seattle though, I

879
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 3: mean up the middle of their defense. Leonard Williams, the

880
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 3: whole thing, both linebackers, safeties, they're.

881
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: All remarkably different.

882
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can look at two ways. You're the Ravens

883
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 3: defensive coordinat. I'm gonna get guys, I like, but how

884
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: am I gonna get them? Yeah?

885
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: You think Matta Bouquet might wind up in Seattle?

886
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: Sounds like a good fit.

887
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

888
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going to bring in some of his guys.

889
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean there could be several Ravens in Seattle. Yeah, yeah,

890
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: I think that's very possible. How many Michigan guys are

891
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna ge drafted? Patrick Queen and Matta Bouquet go to Seattle?

892
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you could definitely see that and Ginostone

893
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah right. Yeah.

894
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: So anyways, we're gonna get to another break. He is

895
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: the Matt Williamson.

896
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 2: I'm Dale Lolly. You're listening to the drive here on

907
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: rookie class. We went over the Steelers in the AFC

908
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: North rookie grades. Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh they've put them

909
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: all together now, oh good.

910
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 3: So I know how I thought the Steelers were way

911
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: better than any of the other teams in the division.

912
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I remember when Aaron Schatz did his rookie review,

913
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 2: and I think the Steelers came in like tenth, which

914
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: I thought was way too low.

915
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: I thought that was low too. Yeah.

916
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: So here's this is how they were put together. This

917
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 2: is by Eric ed Holm and Chad Reuter with NFL

918
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: dot Com. They have the Texans one.

919
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 3: Both rookie of the years.

920
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, hard to beat that.

921
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 3: Pretty darn good. Yeah, that historic class.

922
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 2: At number two the Steelers really okay. So if not

923
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: for the Texans having a historic draft.

924
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Steelers draft will be right there. It's pretty darn strong.

925
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: I mean you had three four really really for your

926
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: first four draft picks, all started a significant amount of game.

927
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 3: And I'm sure they're not putting any stock in Spencer Anderson,

928
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 3: but I still think he's going to play meaningful snaps

929
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 3: on his rookie contract as a Steeler alignment.

930
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, at three and those are the only two teams

931
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: that got straight they get it.

932
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 3: Four a's really uh yeah, Wow, it's pretty generous on

933
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 3: the Steelers, but I get it.

934
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: Uh. Now, the Rams got a name minus carries a

935
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: lot of weights. They got Steve Avilla, but he didn't start. Okay,

936
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: what's that he started? Did he start? Yeah, they don't

937
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: have They must have made him.

938
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 2: He was Byron Kobe Turner. Kobe Turner wasn't a starter

939
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: for them. I think that probably.

940
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had four starts all season. Then they didn't

941
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: get much out of the rest of them.

942
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: No, they made a lot of picks.

943
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: Except for Nakua. But they made a lot of picks.

944
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 3: But unlike the Texans, Texans had two picks in the

945
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: top three, they didn't have a first rounder, right.

946
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 2: Uh, so they got a name minus. Detroit got a

947
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: name minus. Remember everybody was killing Detroit and Draft Day

948
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 2: I was terrible draft.

949
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: I was too, I mean I was doing it for

950
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: I liked all their players. I was really high on

951
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 3: Jack Campbell, who was the worst of the group. I

952
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: just didn't think it was smart in terms of position value.

953
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: But they got it turned out. Yeah, I mean a

954
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: lot out of those guys.

955
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: They had four of the top forty five picks and

956
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: turned him into Jamiir Gibbs, Jack Campbell, Sam Laport or

957
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: Brian Branch.

958
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, those guys are all pretty key players.

959
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 3: And besides Campbell, the the other three all looked like

960
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: potential stars. Campbell's looks okay, he just hasn't as all

961
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: linebackers do.

962
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: It takes a while, takes some time. Uh. And then

963
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: that was it for the A's.

964
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 3: So four a's I can't argue with any of them. Really. Yeah,

965
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 3: that rams class pretty good.

966
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: If five was Green Bay with a B plus.

967
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 3: Took a little time, but those offensive rookies started to

968
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: really shine. Yeah.

969
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: The one that they didn't hit almost the thirteenth pick

970
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: in the draft, he played, Okay, Yeah he's he didn't start.

971
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 3: In the Mags right right, No Reid and both tight

972
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 3: ends and yeah, that's a good group.

973
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: At six was Seattle with a B plus also had

974
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: two first round first round picks, doesn't hurt, and they

975
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: both looked like its two second round picks doesn't hurt.

976
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: They had four of the top fifty two.

977
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you better make that stuff count, right.

978
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: Actually they had and then two fourth round picks and

979
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: two fifth round picks.

980
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 3: It was very Russell Wilson.

981
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he should do that every year. Yeah, get rid

982
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: of it. Overrated quarterback for a bunch of early picks

983
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: at seven was Cincinnati with a B plus. We kind

984
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: of disagreed with that when they made when Yeah, and

985
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: the original ones.

986
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: Came out, Miles star Power.

987
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: Miles Murphy didn't play it all barely at all? Right,

988
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 2: right as the twenty eighth pick in the draft, DJ

989
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: Turner played but wasn't great.

990
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: No, I mean, he'll probably be a starter next year

991
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 3: and he's a fine pick, but he's not Porter.

992
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: And so I'm not sure where the grade comes from.

993
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 3: Who are the other names? Real quick?

994
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: So it was Murphy, Turner, Jordan Battle who started seven

995
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: games in a safety, yeah, Charlie Jones, Chase Brown, andre Yosivas,

996
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: and Brad Robbins.

997
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 3: I mean they got a lot out of the kicker.

998
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 3: Or the punter and the safety. I mean they got

999
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 3: a lot of snaps out of their group. None of

1000
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 3: them were superstar starters start to finish.

1001
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's more of a that's average.

1002
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 3: Draft to me. We opened the segment, I thought, man,

1003
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: the Steelers were clearly the best one division because they

1004
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: had obviously had since he second, I'm like, they really

1005
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: weren't even close. Yeah, I mean Benton's better than anyone

1006
00:40:59,200 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: they had.

1007
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1008
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: At eight is Buffalo. I mean Dunkin K Carries.

1009
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 3: It's pretty strong. O.

1010
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: Cyrus Torrance was fine, amazing, Yeah, plug and play starter type.

1011
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: At nine was Tennessee Levis J.

1012
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: Spears.

1013
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 3: That's good. Yeah, yeah, especially if Levis works out of course. Uh.

1014
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: At ten was Arizona.

1015
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see that. I mean Johnson Johnson looks like

1016
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 3: a foundational player and yeah, trade and back work for

1017
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: them too. Now they got extra picks too, eleve them

1018
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 3: was Kansas City, Okay. I mean the defensive guys are

1019
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: pretty strong. It's not awesome though.

1020
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean your first round draft pick was in duque Uzoma.

1021
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, didn't he was a healthy scratch a lot too.

1022
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I.

1023
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: Wasn't sure if he's gonna play in the Super Bowl.

1024
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 3: I get Rashi right is a good one. Yeah.

1025
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: Janya Morris played some games for them. It tackle in

1026
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: the third round.

1027
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a starter.

1028
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: Uh, Chamari Connor.

1029
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 3: Okay, most of their defensive backs. I'm thinking about it

1030
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 3: in their second year. Yeah, I mean They're not not

1031
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 3: a great draft. I mean, some other teams must have

1032
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: some really bad drafts. This was what I'm figuring. I

1033
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 3: didn't think this was a great year overall for the draft,

1034
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 3: and Rice was probably one of the best ten rookies

1035
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 3: in the league. Yeah. Yeah.

1036
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: The Bears at twelve, Bears at twelve right right, foundational player,

1037
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: second round picks Gervin Dexter and Tyreek Stevenson.

1038
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 3: Both of whom are showing some stuff. Yeah so okay.

1039
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: At thirteen was Jacksonville, Anton Harrison, Brenton Strange, Tank Bigsby,

1040
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: Ventrol Miller.

1041
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not seeing it there.

1042
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing that as a great raund.

1043
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 3: I'm strange and Bigsby was flat out bad. Yeah, I

1044
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: mean he needs to take a step forward this year.

1045
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 3: Not a great group at all.

1046
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: Fourteen The Raiders the first round are Tyree Wilson. They

1047
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: took seventh overall.

1048
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: He might be a bust. I mean they got nothing

1049
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 3: out of him. Nothing, Still hold out, hope.

1050
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: Now you've got Michael Mayer in the second round, and that's.

1051
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 3: A fine pick, that's quality pick.

1052
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: But there we got ten starts at eight and O'Connell.

1053
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean they were good.

1054
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't put a lot of weight on that.

1055
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 3: That was by default. I mean it's not a great

1056
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 3: group to me.

1057
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: The Ravens are at fifteen.

1058
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 3: We mentioned this when we went through the division. Say

1059
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 3: Flowers is in the mix for one of the best

1060
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 3: AFC North rookies. Yeah, but they're mostly Steelers. I also

1061
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 3: thought Jones for the Browns had a good year. But

1062
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 3: you know at least three of the top five are Steelers.

1063
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tampa's at sixteen.

1064
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: Tampa's at sixteen, more and.

1065
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: More yeah, Yadabi, Yeah he was good.

1066
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put them a little higher. Yeah.

1067
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 3: So that's not bad. That's not a bad group at all.

1068
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: Then you got at seventeen the Falcons Jean Robinson, Matthew

1069
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: Burser on that.

1070
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 3: In itself had some weight. Yeah.

1071
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean you got two starters, yeah, right, that should

1072
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: carry they should be higher.

1073
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 3: That's not bad. I'd be definitely higher on them. I mean,

1074
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: Jon might have been better than Gibbs.

1075
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1076
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 2: Eighteen is the Jets, Will McDonald, Joe Tipman, Carter Warren ab.

1077
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't well yeah right, got more and more

1078
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 3: playing to McDonald.

1079
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: People was the rotational dude.

1080
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah he's not special.

1081
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: Nineteen was the Eagles, which everyone was to have two

1082
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: first round draft picks and everybody was yet everybody's.

1083
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 3: Nuts crazy, all the Georgia guys. Eagles are outsmart the league.

1084
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 3: Nolan Smith's a tough fit in this league. Carter looks

1085
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 3: like a star. He needs to put it all together.

1086
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, there were some concerns about him coming out though.

1087
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: Kaylee Ringle, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a reason he

1088
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 2: fell to the fourth round.

1089
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: He was not a steal. He was we'll see what

1090
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: he turns into type of guy. Yeah. Uh. At twenty,

1091
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: the Saints trying to think Brian Brosse, Isaiah Foxsky, Kendrey Miller.

1092
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: They didn't get really any start. It's okay, Yeah, they

1093
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: get Jordan Howlden, their fifth round safety head seven starts

1094
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: off right.

1095
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 3: No, it's not great.

1096
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: They get their kicker and punter something he said for that.

1097
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 3: But still free.

1099
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 3: Addison's a good player. Yeah, not special, but a good player.

1100
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they got much. Well, he got

1101
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: even paced too. He should get Yeah, he's been good. Yeah,

1102
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: that's a night higher.

1103
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 3: They should be higher. You get two quality players. That's

1104
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 3: that's a good start.

1105
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 3: Who knows?

1108
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 2: If I saw something the other somebody was talking about

1109
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 2: the Steelers quarterback situation. He said, you know, they got

1110
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: to keep up with the with the other teams in

1111
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 2: the AFC, and included Anthony Richardson and then I'm like,

1112
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: are we putting the.

1113
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: Car before the horse here a little bit? I'm excited

1114
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: about him. He's played four games and he hasn't finished

1115
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: one of them.

1116
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 3: And we knew he was rock coming out of Florida.

1117
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: I mean, he needs all the time he can get downs.

1118
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: Is a good player too.

1119
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1120
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: Twenty three the brown finally come in there.

1121
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 3: Hey, we talked about them last time. It's okay, but

1122
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 3: their top they didn't have early picks, and their top couple.

1123
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: Picks did very little. Yeah, the wat Jones is their

1124
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: best pick. The Patriots at twenty four.

1125
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 3: Gonzales unfortunately didn't get enough out of them, but he

1126
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 3: looks like a head. Yeah.

1127
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: At twenty five is the Chargers that doesn't look good

1128
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 1: at all.

1129
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 3: What did they do?

1130
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 2: Quinton Johnston and Tuipolo two might be okay, yeah, he's

1131
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:25,479
Speaker 2: gonna he's.

1132
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: Right, but he's going to have to be a starting

1133
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: hedge slash d tackle, you know, D lineman for them.

1134
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 3: There are any a lot from that class and it's okay,

1135
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 3: not great.

1136
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: Here's where the Dolphins are running into trouble. They don't

1137
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: make any picks. They had four picks twent four. Yeah, yeah,

1138
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: they don't make any picks anyway. They got out of

1139
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 1: their rookie draft class, they got four starts.

1140
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 3: Behind and they're gonna need those guys heavy now.

1141
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: And that they were all by a chan who's a

1142
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 2: specialty player. Yeah, you took a specialty.

1143
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: Player in round three when you don't have any picks.

1144
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 3: And they knew all these guys were coming up, and

1145
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 3: they had all these bad contracts too. You know, they

1146
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 3: didn't prepare for this off season one no. Yeah.

1147
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: At twenty seven the Giants, who was their first Deontae

1148
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: Banks John Michael Schmidt's.

1149
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: They actually didn't pick high in the tail highest timon forever. Yeah,

1150
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: that's that should be higher. It wasn't bad, No, that

1151
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: should be These guys played in the mid tiers. Twenty

1152
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: eight the Panthers. You had the number one overall pick.

1153
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 3: But you can't wait it that way, No you can't.

1154
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 3: I mean, he's at least they need to be their start.

1155
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 3: He's better and Aidan O'Connell.

1156
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: Bryce Young started, Jonathan Jonathan Mingo started.

1157
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you didn't get what you paid for

1158
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 3: those guys, but that doesn't mean it's a worse class

1159
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: than the Chargers.

1160
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: Right, you know or some of those games. Right, nothing

1161
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: out of their classes.

1162
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 3: They paid a lot for them, but uh, San Francisco,

1163
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 3: they didn't pick till like one hundred overall, at.

1164
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: Eighty seven overall, and then they took Jerry o'brown, and

1165
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: then they took Jake Moody, then took a lot of

1166
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: like backup tight ends and safeties, and they tried to

1167
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: improve their special teams. That was a weird draft and

1168
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: not a good one though. That should be low thirty.

1169
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: The Cowboys, Mazzie Smith did nothing. At least it'd be

1170
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: a run and suffer Elier one Scoomaker in the second

1171
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: round did nothing.

1172
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think there was some injury stuff with him too.

1173
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, over Shan. Didn't they any more of Smith? They

1174
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot out of that class at all.

1175
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, they should be low. Wow.

1176
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: Thirty one Washington Manuel Forbes in the first round.

1177
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 3: He got sixteen there, he had sixteen. He's one hundred

1178
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 3: and sixty pounds. Yeah, trying to think who else?

1179
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: Swan Martin, we like him, like him, I mean he

1180
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: was fine, Yeah, but the rest of it was kind

1181
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: of yuck.

1182
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 3: It'd be nice if they had a decent class there,

1183
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 3: considering the class that they should be able to put

1184
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 3: on top of it this year.

1185
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then thirty two leaves the Denver Broncos. That's

1186
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: Marvin Mems in a second at sixty three, Drew Sanders

1187
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: at sixty seven, Riley Moss at eighty three, and he

1188
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: got there.

1189
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 3: No high picks. Yeah, Mems at least should get in

1190
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 3: the starting equation.

1191
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: Hope Sanders is playing somewhere next year. Yeah, yeah, I

1192
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: kind of liked him. Yeah, last year too, not so good.

1193
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: That's so good.

1194
00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 3: Now there's some bad classes.

1195
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, this happens.

1196
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 3: Every year, folks. I mean a big class like the

1197
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 3: one that Steelers got is a huge foundation. If they

1198
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 3: could have a class eighty five percent as good as

1199
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 3: this one in this upcoming class, Oh yeah, not you'll

1200
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 3: look back in like Steeler history.

1201
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: Be expected because you have fewer picks this year, few

1202
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: quality picks.

1203
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't think it'll be as good as this year.

1204
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 3: That's shooting pretty high. You don't have that extra.

1205
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: But if you're somewhere around that top ten, then you

1206
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 1: have two picks to fourth.

1207
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean so, I think this is a pivotal year.

1208
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 3: If you could put piggyback to good draft classes together,

1209
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 3: that alters franchise.

1210
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Let's get to a break. He is the Matt Williamson.

1211
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lallie. That's going to do it for our

1212
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: number one of the drive. We'll be back with our

1213
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: number two right after this
