1 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,319 Speaker 1: It was under thirty days until we kick off the 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: NFL Draft in Las Vegas. It is our pleasure to 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: welcome you to another edition here of Move the Sticks. 4 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. Whett lewis here with our former NFL Scouts 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: lead draft dannialist Daniel Jeremiah Bucky Brooks. Ready to rock 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: and roll here, guys, this is our time and you 7 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: have all found the right spot for the best draft 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: conversations around. We're also kicking off path to the draft 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: next week. So much going on right now, um, but 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: that's just kind of what happens in the league. Clearly, 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 1: over the course of the last few weeks, there has 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: never been a dull moment. Guys. Uh, Shall we kick 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: off with the latest big piece of big news. Here 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: we go. It's our Big Three and we start with 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: the latest and greatest, which comes from Tampa Bruce Arians 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: retiring effective immediately from coaching, moving now into a front 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: office role with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Todd Bowls is 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: now the new head coach, the defensive coordinator promoted to 19 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: head coach, not on an interim basis. He is the 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: head coach now of the Bucks five year deal on 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: the way, so many moving pieces, all as Tom Brady 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: made his return to the Bucks after a brief retirement, guys, Um, 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: this is Bucky added a little fuel to the fire 24 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: that there was maybe a rift between Arians and Brady. 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: But now while Arians did say that he's had conflict 26 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: with just about every player he's coached because he's custom 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: all out, including Brady. Um, this the way everybody's talking 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: about it does not feel like this was some sort 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: of power move. You get that sense to Buck No, 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: I feel like this is Bruce Arians taking care of 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: his guys. I think everyone has to understand the bond 32 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: between Bruce Arians and his coach and some of his 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: coaches have played for him at Temple. It really really tight. 34 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: You think about Todd McNary Tide Bowls. Um, you have Rock, 35 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Kevin Ross and by Armstrong, Kevin Arstrong who's also there, Like, 36 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: all those guys are really really tight, and so he 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: would not necessarily subject himself to like being pushed out 38 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: because he knows his guys also have to pick up 39 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: the pieces. I think this is a move where he 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that he left Todd Bowles and 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: the best situation to be able to win and have 42 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of success, something that he wasn't left 43 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: in when he took over in New York with the Jets. Yeah, 44 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: but I agree with you. I don't think this was 45 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: some type of a power play. But I know one thing. 46 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: If you're a fan of the Buccaneers or you follow 47 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: this team and you were given the choice of the 48 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: head coach coming back or the quarterback coming back, I 49 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: think you'd be happy to know that Tom Brady is 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: still gonna be on the field and the offense is 51 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: still gonna be in good hands with Byron left Witch 52 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: in their relationship between Brady and left which is gonna 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: be key going forward. Everything I've heard that that's in 54 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: a great place. So I think this is set up 55 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: really to be one of the more seamless transitions, you know, 56 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: from a coaching standpoint, that I can ever remember exactly. 57 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: They're still continuity there, right, I mean, like you're still 58 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: you still have the offensive brain trust with left Witch 59 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: and Christensen and Tom Brady all kind of getting this 60 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: thing done. You still got Bruce in the building, right, 61 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: He's gonna be out there practice, says he won't be 62 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: on the sidelines on game day. That would be too 63 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: many penalties waiting to happen there. So uh, but that's 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: that's good day. I mean again, this feels like this 65 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: was something that everybody kind of felt good about, right 66 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: and if if they didn't, I don't think Bruce would 67 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: still be there showing up in Tampa, you know, and 68 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: to be in the draft room, as he said, he's 69 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: going to be with GM Jason Light as they go 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: through this thing, starting at number twenty seven overall in 71 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: the first round. So um, I'm happy for Todd Bowles 72 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: getting another shot to be a head coach in a 73 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: much better situation this time around. Okay, let's continue a 74 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: little bit of a quarterback conversation there. As we were 75 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: talking about Brady. Things a bit more complex now with 76 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens and their pursuit of a contract extension 77 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson. Lamar is kind of feeling like there's 78 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: some negative vibes out there and that people maybe think 79 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: he's trying to force his way out of Baltimore by 80 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: agreeing to an extension. By now that, as he clearly 81 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: says here, is not the case. I haven't necessarily heard 82 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: that narrative, but I tell you what, the two U 83 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars that Deshaun Watson got from the Cleveland 84 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: Browns has surely made these negotiations a bit more complicated 85 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: because look to find Lamar Jackson. That's the starting point 86 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 1: here moving forward, right, that's the baseline, And by waiting 87 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: certainly feels like the price has gone up for Lamar. 88 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: And while he is not forcing his way out of 89 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: Baltimore here dj And while the Ravens are confident that 90 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: they're going to get a deal done, teams have been 91 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: confident that their quarterback was going to stay in the 92 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: fold before, like a couple of weeks ago, maybe in Seattle, 93 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: but clearly that didn't happen. Do you get the sense 94 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: that what we've seen in the quarterback market and on 95 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: this quarterback carousel this offseason, it's kind of lining the 96 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: NFL to the NBA in a way where we see 97 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: some of these super teams. Yeah, I definitely think there's 98 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: a power shift there, and I think some of it 99 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: has to do with this new age general manager that 100 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: we have, which takes an appropriate response that I agree, 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: which is if you don't want to be here, I 102 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: don't know that I necessarily want you to be here. 103 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good for either one of us. 104 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: So the players do have a little more power in 105 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: that regard. I do think we're headed towards a stair down, 106 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: whether it's with Lamar Jackson, the next quarterback contract to 107 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: come through, because every agent you're gonna talk to right 108 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: now and has a high profile quarterback, they're gonna look 109 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: at that Watson deal with all that guaranteed money, the 110 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: entire thing, and say that's okay, that's where we are now. 111 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: It's a new precedent going forward. The dam has broke, 112 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: but I promise you all of these teams, and I 113 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: would put the Ravens in this category are collecting sticks 114 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: and trying to put that damn back together and say 115 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: that was a one off. This is not what the 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: future is going to be. That was the Cleveland Browns move. 117 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: That is not necessity. Uh, tell us what we're going 118 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: to be doing with our contracts going forward. Yeah. Look, 119 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because of Deshaun Wasson deal certainly 120 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: kind of takes us to a new front here when 121 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: it comes to quarterback contracts. And I think for Lamar Jackson, 122 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: I think Lamar Jackson has been kind of open in 123 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: terms of being his loans. Him desires to be a 124 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: billionaire and to be a champion, and so when we 125 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: think about detracted being a billionaire, it is maximizing your 126 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: leverage when you have that opportunity. And so he might 127 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: be looking at Deshaun Watson's contract and looking at the 128 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: guaranteed money. He might be checking his list of accomplishments, 129 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: which includes an m v P and a playoff win 130 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: versus those of Deshaun Watson. Is saying that is the 131 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: starting point. And even if I have to play on 132 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: these franchise tags with the risk of injury, I just 133 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: saw Dak Prescott play on franchise tag and get all 134 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: the money. So maybe the fear factor that some guys 135 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: may have going into a franchise tag situation, Lamar Jackson 136 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: may not have that. He's because he feels like for 137 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: the quarterback, all best or off, the quarterback gets his 138 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: money regardless of whether injury is involved. Yeah, it doesn't 139 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: look like lamarsin and he heard he get this thing done. 140 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: And I think from the team standpoint, the Ravens standpoint, 141 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: I might be okay with it too. Let's go ahead. 142 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: And kind of slow play this thing. Let's see can 143 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: he continue to stay healthy, can and maintain his level 144 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: of play, and then at that point in time you 145 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: can get a little more evidence of that staying healthy, 146 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: no no erosion of his skills, then you feel really 147 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: comfortable writing that check. So this might be best for 148 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: both of them. Just kind of slow play this process. 149 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: By the way, when you look at the the a 150 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: f C. North in the quarterbacks that are gonna be 151 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: coming up, and you're the Cleveland Browns, don't you wonder 152 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: like if if they had just like the slightest thinkling that, yes, 153 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: this is a ton of guaranteed money that we got 154 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: to shell out, by the way for a really good quarterback. 155 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: But you know, we're also doing We're sticking it to 156 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens as they try to make a deal with 157 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson at some point, and we're eventually sticking into 158 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: the Bengals with the deal that Joe Burrow is going 159 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: to command there because that that number is only going 160 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: to go higher, or at least that's what the players 161 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: are gonna want. So it's kind of like a little 162 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: bit of a bitter sweet thing. Yeah, it's a that's 163 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: a big check to cut, but also, uh, you know what, 164 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna cut a bigger one in our division. 165 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's keep the ball rolling here, guys. As 166 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top, it is we are getting 167 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: into draft month and as such, our show is back 168 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: the path of the draft.

Guys, can't wait to be back with you, 173 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: with our colleague Charles Davis, with our great production staff, 174 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: and getting all of the storylines, all of the prospect profiles, 175 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: all of the conversations out there for everybody to see. 176 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: So let's give everybody little primer right here on Move 177 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: the sticks. Let's start with the fact that this is 178 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: like one of the most intriguing drafts we've ever had 179 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: because the quarterbacks just aren't slotted in there at the 180 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: top like we've expected the last couple of years, like 181 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: last year with Trevor Lawrence and the Jags at one. 182 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: We don't know where they're going. We don't know who's 183 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: going where, and we don't know which one's going first? DJ, 184 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean, like this is gonna be really fun. Yeah. 185 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean when you're looking at kind of the storylines 186 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: as we're within the month now here of heading to 187 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: Vegas and going to the draft, the one that jumps 188 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: out to me start right at the top. The Jags, 189 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: the Jacksone Jack was at the first pick. We have 190 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: no idea who they're gonna take. And I'm not talking 191 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: about well, it's this guy or that guy. It could 192 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: be any one of four players. Trayvon Walker's name is 193 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: entered into the mix. There, we know about Aiden Hutchinson, 194 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: who's kind of long been the favorite to be that selection. 195 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: Both those guys fit. But the other day Doug Peterson said, hey, 196 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: don't rule out a tackle. So then you start talking 197 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: about Evan Neil still being in the mix, Kanu from 198 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: North Carolina State still being in the mix. I mean, 199 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: this is just pick number one with four different options, 200 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: and we have no clue where the Jags are leaning. 201 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: Which is gonna make it a fun, fun show. Oh 202 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: and by the way, this draft could be historic. Guys. 203 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: Think of the teams right now that have multiple draft picks. 204 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: There are seven teams with multiple draft picks in the 205 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: first round, including the Eagles who have three, by the way, 206 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: and if all of those teams, all those seven make 207 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: multiple picks, would be the most we've ever seen in 208 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: the first round in terms of teams making more than 209 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: one selection in the first round, which also means we 210 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: have eight teams without a first round draft pick, which 211 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: would also be the most. Think of the balance of 212 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: power were that could be shifted in this first round 213 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: of the draft. On Night one in Las Vegas on 214 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: the Strip April and DJ, you know, in the opposite 215 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: of the whole less need um logo and uh in motto, 216 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: these gms might be like, yeah, we love those picks 217 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: in the first round, you know what I mean? It 218 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: might be the next T shirt. That might be the 219 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: next shirt like two or three years from now. I 220 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: get that figured out. What do you got, Bucky? No, 221 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: So I think UM and thinking about the multiple picks 222 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: and all the other stuff. I think the conversation is 223 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks, or maybe the lack thereof based on perception. 224 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: When you go and you look at the top quarterbacks, 225 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: particularly the AFC with all those young stars, I think, now, 226 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: what evaluateds are doing is they're comparing to two class 227 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: with the stars of today and looking to see if 228 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: those guys have tools that can eventually match up with 229 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: the guys that you have to face. Because those guys 230 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: are there the gatekeepers did, Joe Burrows did, Josh Allen's 231 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: de Patrick Mahomes and others. You have to be willing 232 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: to have a quarterback where you have to have a 233 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: quarterback when your roster get can go in to shootout 234 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: against those guys and hold their own. Because of that, 235 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 1: I think people will being a little tougher with the 236 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: number two pestles. They're not issuing out those EG grades 237 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: like they did in the past just because the player 238 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 1: has an opportunity to play quarterback. I feel like a 239 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: broken record here, but I'll say it again and I'll 240 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: probably say it again on Path on Monday and maybe 241 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: every Monday until we get to the draft, just to 242 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: remind folks, Yes, the strength of the quarterback class is 243 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: not like it was a year ago. We get it. 244 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 1: We're not gonna see five in the first round and 245 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: five in the first fifteen picks. You might not see 246 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: five in the first thirty five picks. But guys, the 247 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: intrigue surrounding the quarterbacks this year man, and makes it 248 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: all the more interesting to me here because we don't 249 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: know where they're gonna go. We don't know who the 250 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: first it's gonna be, and that part of it makes 251 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: it makes it kind of the real wild card of 252 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: this whole first round. So excited to see it. You'll 253 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: see us talking about the body shop here. And we're 254 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: gonna start with the NFC West in the Seattle Seahawks. Here, guys, 255 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: and Seahawks picking in the top ten, something I feel 256 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: like we have not seen in quite some time as 257 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: a result of that Russell Wilson trained Seahawks. They're at 258 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: number nine, Bucky, how do we rebuild this engine up 259 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: there in this Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. Well, I 260 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: mean it's gonna be a tough rebuild. But Pete Carroll 261 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: and Johnson I just certainly have a blue friend. They 262 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: did it before, uh the early two thousand tens. They 263 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: were able to build up the team and then they 264 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: found a quarterback. I think it's similar this time. I 265 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: think they got to find a quarterback first though, and 266 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: so right now they have Drew lock and Drew Locker 267 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: was traded over and maybe they feel like they can 268 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: repair and rebuild his career. But I think in the 269 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: draft there's a guy Malik Willis that would be perfect 270 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: for the way that Pete Carroll wants to play, because 271 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: you have to remember, in his harder parts, Pete Carroll 272 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: wants to run the football, he wants to play great defense, 273 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: and then he wants the quarterback to just be an 274 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: occasional playmaker. When we think about Malik Willis and the 275 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: tools that he brings to the table, outstanding arm telling, 276 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: great athleticism, but maybe not quite ready to play right 277 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: away at a high level in terms of running and 278 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: managing all the things that you have to do with 279 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: a passing game. Well, maybe he's just athletic enough to 280 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: be a compliment to the running game. They're able to 281 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: get their running game up and going, and they played 282 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: keep away because their offense shrinks the game, and then 283 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: they're able to play better defense because they owned the 284 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: field not as much as they were in the past. 285 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: They did a good job of getting some resources with 286 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson trade, and they need him. They have 287 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: a lot of roster holes to fill here. You mentioned 288 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. We could talk about corner, but I'll 289 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: go to left tackle, and and maybe there's a chance 290 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: there at number nine. We've seen it before, a tackle 291 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: could slide down a little bit. Evan Neil would be 292 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: a godsend for them if somehow he were to make 293 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: it to the ninth overall pick. You could plug him 294 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: in right away, is your left tackle and not worry 295 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: about that position. For a very long time, they've been fortunate. 296 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: You go back to the Walter Jones era to have 297 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: that long run. Maybe they have another long run here 298 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: with Evan Neil. Yeah, maybe, maybe trying to rebuild that 299 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: secondary to a little bit, especially out there at the 300 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: cornerback position. Maybe that's a spot where they could go 301 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: at nine or even at forty when they get on 302 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: the board in the second round. Let's move forward here 303 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: in the NFC West and let's get into the Arizona 304 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: Cardinals did finally get into the postseason, did not last 305 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: long though, And uh, let's chat here a little bit 306 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: um as we look at what the Cardinals are doing, Bucky, 307 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: because yeah, I mean they've got some they've got some 308 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: good core pieces there. How do we make them even 309 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: better to get over the hump? Well, I mean they 310 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: do have nice pieces, but This has to be all 311 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: about the quarterback. It has to be about getting Calum 312 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: Murray to take his game to another level. When I 313 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: look out at their wide receiver corps, I have some questions. 314 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: Despite having DeAndre Hawkins, who was still one of the 315 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: best receivers in the game, they lose Christian Kirk A. J. 316 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: Green is on the back side of his career, and 317 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: you added Rundill More but he needs a bigger role. 318 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: So it might be time for them to go in 319 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: the draft and maybe in the second round, maybe they 320 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: find a receiver. David Bell from Perdue gives them some 321 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: of that playing ability too much produce talk, Okay, in 322 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: one segment here with me, I mean I mean boiler up. 323 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: Let's boiler up. I'm on a tough, hard, nos rugged 324 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: guy who's on the perimeter, who has a ton of 325 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: production throughout his time. Look, I know he didn't run fast, 326 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: but I think he might be the perfect receiver to 327 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: run in this air raid offense. Yeah. I like that 328 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: call there, Buck, I'm gonna go to the defensive side 329 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: of the ball. Though you think about Chandler Jones leaving, 330 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: they have some age on that defensive line where they're 331 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: picking in the first round. Arnoty of a Katie from 332 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: Penn State is one of my favorite players, just because 333 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: that kind of combination he has of the speed and 334 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: the power coming off the edge. He tested really well. 335 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: He's got that length that you love. I think he's 336 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: got a chance to be a plug and play guy. 337 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: Put him right into that front and the tenacity with 338 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: which he plays it really kind of reminds me of 339 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: of Glenn Big Dog Robinson. That's kind of always see him. 340 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's a football you know, camp, but that's 341 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: that's where I see him. There anybody else, Rhett John, 342 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to go anywhere else from the Pro 343 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: New List? Nope, Nope. I think that's that's it. Although 344 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: I will say, Bucky to your point, really kind of 345 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: digging in on Cardinals history here. This is a franchise 346 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: that has not been afraid to draft receivers that did 347 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: not necessarily light up the turf in their forty yard times. 348 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: Going back to an Kwon Bolden, Right, all right, this 349 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: is a scenario where last year at this time you'd 350 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: be looking at all quarterback names. As you look at 351 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: the first three picks of DJ and Bucky's mock drafts 352 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: this year it is all edge rushers, and even the 353 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: names of the saying, these guys, we're all in agreement 354 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: here at what we're gonna see with edge rushers coming 355 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: off with the first three picks. So DJ looking at 356 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: how you guys have it now up at the very top, 357 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: and those first three picks with the edge rushers, are 358 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: they essentially filling the void that we would normally have 359 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks occupy in that in that sense, yeah, no doubt. 360 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: I mean, when you don't have quarterbacks taking up those spots, 361 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: somebody's got to fill them, and it just so happens. 362 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: This is one of the deeper edge rush groups we've 363 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: seen in quite sometimes. This is a really solid group. 364 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: So when you look at positional value, you start with 365 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: quarterback number one. Everybody knows that. I would say, if 366 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: you pulled all thirty two teams, the next most important 367 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: position would be somebody that can get to the quarterback. 368 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: And so you have the kind of marrying up with 369 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: the second most valuable position with a really deep group. 370 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: That's why we could see four go on the top 371 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: seven or eight picks. You know, when you think about this, 372 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: the way the league is always trending. It's about passing. 373 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: It's about the passing game, and so we can talk 374 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: about passers and pass rushers, and then it comes down 375 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: to pass protectors and playmakers. But the past, rushers have 376 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: always been the thing that you wanted because you've got 377 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: to be able to impact the quarterback. You got to 378 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: be able to knock them down. And in this draft, 379 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: when we see so many athletic freaks coming off the edge, 380 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: it gives you an opportunity to really get after it 381 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: is one of the things that you have to have 382 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: to be able to be a dominant defense. Edges will 383 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: come off the board early and often in this year's draft. 384 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: Let's move off of the top of the draft here 385 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: into that middles section where Los Angeles Chargers have absolutely 386 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: nailed it the last couple of times that they've been 387 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: picking kind of in that middle teens area. I mean, 388 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: look Rare Shawn Slater, of the best picks of the 389 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: entire draft last year at thirteenth overall, the tackle lot 390 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: of Northwestern Derwin James, one of the best defensive players 391 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: in all of football, seventeenth overall back in two thousand 392 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: and eighteen. And that's where we find the Chargers again 393 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: this year at seventeen. And you know, thinking about where 394 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: we have the Chargers picking right now, in the names 395 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: that we're seeing, there are a lot of offensive tackles 396 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: DJ you've got them. Taking Trevor Penning certainly makes sense 397 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: as we try to build around Justin Herbert. But is 398 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: there something we're missing. Is there a position or a 399 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: player that might be lurking out there that could also 400 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: help the Chargers outside of the old line room. Well, 401 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: first of all, let's give Tom Palesco some credit. When 402 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: you look at what he's done in the first round, 403 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: you can stack it up against any GM over the 404 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: last fifteen question. Incredible. But you look at the tackle position, 405 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: that's like that screaming need right. It jumps out to you. 406 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: I had Penning going there. But when you you start 407 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: looking and doing a little more homework and digging deeper, 408 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: you see a guy like Matt Feiler who starts at 409 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: left guard but has played right tackle some with the 410 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, so he could kick out there. You wouldn't 411 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: necessarily have to take a tackle. Now, let's have some fun. 412 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: Let's go get Jamison Williams somebody like that who can 413 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: really add a different element to this offense. You've got 414 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: a quarterback and Justin Herbert that can literally throw the 415 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: ball over the moon. So get somebody that can really 416 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: stretch the field. You've got Mike Williams, who you just paid. 417 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: You've got Keenan Allen the Chiefs losing Tyreek Kill. You've 418 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: got Davante Adams going to the Raiders. There's so much 419 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: movement at the receiver position. But that would be a 420 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: fun one to watch as someone who calls those games. Yeah, 421 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that as well. Let's get to 422 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers because they have maybe one of the 423 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: most intriguing draft scenarios here, picking uh at number twenty 424 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: overall here, and let's go back and look at where 425 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: that what they've done in the middle of the draft 426 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: in recent years. Ryan Chase here was obviously a great 427 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: pick before his unfortunate injury. Marquees Pounty was, you know, 428 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: a perennial Pro Bowlers Ben Roethlisberger clearly um so, and 429 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: seeing what the Steelers are, I could certainly see them 430 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: going quarterback at overall right there at all the pro days. 431 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: We know that as a need. Despite signing Mitchell Raminski here, Bucky, 432 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: and I know you've got them taking Johan Dotson at twenty, 433 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: but is that putting cart before the horse again, kind 434 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: of like they did last year with a G. Harris. Look. 435 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: I think it's one of those situations where they have 436 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: to continue to build up the team, and if they 437 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: believe that Mr. Drobiskie is a legitimate option at quarterback, 438 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: why not get him a wide receiver Because in my estivation, 439 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: I still believe they need a number one receiver. Yes, 440 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson earned Pro Bowl accolades and he murders is 441 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: their number one, but I think they want better, someone 442 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: that is more consistent on the perimeter. This is a 443 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: game change on the outside because Dawson can do everything short, intermediate, deep. 444 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: He's a threat at all three levels, and he's a 445 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: reliable weapon that I think they can build a passing 446 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: game around. No disrespect the Clay Chase, Claypool and Johnson 447 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: who've done solid jobs for them. I think Dawson gives 448 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: him a chance to have a solid start on the perimeter. 449 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: I like that to love John Dotson the way he's 450 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: played there at Penn State. Guys, Let's also look into 451 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Packers as two of the seven 452 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: teams with multiple UH picks in the first round. Here 453 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: and look at where you guys haven't mocked DJ, I 454 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: love you, paying tribute to the twenty anniversary of the 455 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: last time the Packers took a wide receiver in the 456 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: first round, which was back in Switch it up. Let's 457 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: go change it up, double them up, maybe Chris Lave 458 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: and Johan Dotson Bucky a little bit more sensible. They're 459 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 1: still going wide out but also going tackle UH. And 460 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: then looking at the Chiefs here after they acquired that 461 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: second first round draft pick by sending Tyreek Kill to 462 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: the Dolphins edge and wide out for DJ, wide out 463 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: and d B for Bucky. So um, let's start here 464 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: with the Green Bay Packers and DJ, I mean make 465 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: the case here with the Packers A to fill the 466 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: void left by Davante Adams continue to build around these 467 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: last couple of years that they're gonna have with Aaron Rodgers. Well, 468 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: we sat on these shows last year and I talked 469 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: about and joked about the fact that the Giants under 470 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: David Gilman don't trade back. He doesn't do it. He's 471 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: never done it. We did the whole NASCAR joke the 472 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, I hear the same thing. They can't 473 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: take wide receivers. Haven't done it, you mentioned it twenty years. 474 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: Let's switch it up. Let's do it. Let's go for 475 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: it here. Did they Adams? All that production going out 476 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: the door? Why not trying instead of trying to replace 477 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: him with one guy? Get too, You've got two picks 478 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: right there. Let's go out there and let's be an 479 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: aerial attack with your two time reigning m v P 480 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: here back to back m vps with Aaron Rodgers. I 481 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: just think it would be fun. I think it makes 482 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Be dynamic. The NFC is so 483 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: watered down. Just go, just go run up to score 484 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: on everybody. Look, I would like I would like for 485 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: him to do that. That would be something that everyone 486 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: around packer Land would like to see. They would like 487 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: to seem be aggressive with wire receivers. They just typically 488 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: don't do it. Um. I think the one thing that 489 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: I would be intrigued by if they moved up into 490 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: the top ten and really got a legitimate due like 491 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: an a weapon I got like a Garrett Wilson that 492 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: could be available that could give them like their true 493 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: number one so they think about building this thing all 494 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: over again. Davante Adams was a terrific player. He's been fined. 495 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: When you look at Aaron Rids's number, he has been 496 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: pretty good without Davante Adams on the perimeter. Go and 497 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: get a young guy that you can room and developed. 498 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: Vida number one received for a long time. All right, 499 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: let's get into the Kansas City Chiefs here also have 500 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: those multiple first round draft picks, and man, what a 501 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks it's been from sky More. He's gone 502 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: from an in the sticks player to inside DJ's top 503 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: fifty to now inside Pucky Brooks's first round mock draft. 504 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: Their number twenty nine overall twenty nine and thirty. Rather 505 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: here for the Kansas City Chiefs, as we're looking at 506 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: what they've done, what do you think here for the 507 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs can lay out the reasoning on how they can 508 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: really make the most out of those first two picks. 509 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, then when you think about this the 510 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: kans the Chiefs, I would say, here's what they need 511 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: to do. This is a team that wants to play 512 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: a little bit differently. Without every kill, it would be 513 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: a little more diverse, a little more balanced. The distribution 514 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: will go to a bunch of different playmakers. We saw 515 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: m VS come over Juju Smith Schuster, so they're good 516 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: in debt regard. I think this is about building up 517 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: the defense. They need to continue to add pieces on 518 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: their defense. Although the nickel corner, like we've talked about, 519 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: we've seen in those mock drafts, someone else off the 520 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: edge that can help them. This team is going to 521 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: be there because the quarterback is there and Andy Reid 522 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: is a shift He can take all the ingredients and 523 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: you can whip up a masterpiece. I would expect that 524 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: off has to be solid, So I'm gonna focus my 525 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: efforts one really good enough to defense. Yeah, I'm curious 526 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: to see kind of what direction that they go because 527 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: Andy Reid has always been a little bit ahead of 528 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: the curve. Once everybody starts to catch up, which I 529 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: thought just a little bit last year they started to 530 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: catch up, he's gonna morph and he's gonna change. He's 531 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: gonna get ahead. So maybe that's with them getting a 532 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: little bit bigger, being a little bit more physical to 533 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: be able to finish out some games and put teams away. 534 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: I'm really fascinated to see what they do and I 535 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: would not be surprised if one of these picks they're 536 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: trading out, getting out of there and collecting more. I 537 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: like that thought process too. Maybe if they're really trying 538 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: to get a receiver, instead of sticking and picking at 539 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: twenty nine, maybe they use some of their draft capital 540 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: down the road, move up a little bit and get 541 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: the guy you know that they really want instead of 542 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: waiting and seeing how it all shakes out there. Let's 543 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: make some trade, shall we, And let's set the table 544 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: by looking back at the trades we saw in the 545 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: first round last year. Of course, uh, the Giants and 546 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: Bears maybe the most notable because the Bears went up 547 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: to get their quarterback, Justin Fields. Cowboys essentially got the 548 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: uh they traded back and still ended up getting the 549 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: defensive rookie of the year and Michael Parsons. That certainly 550 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: worked out. Elijah Vera Tucker going to the Jets at 551 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: fourteen after trading with the Minnesota Vikings. Okay, well, let's 552 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: cook up some trades here, Bucky, you got one force 553 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: to get things off here. Yeah. Look we I kind 554 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: of hinted at it the previous segment when I talked 555 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: about the Green Bay Packers moving up into the top ten. 556 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: But I think they need to make this happen. And 557 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: the reason why I'm staying the Green Bay Packers need 558 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: to trade up with the Seattle c Yhawks, a friendly partner, 559 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: John Snyder, Brian Goodacus, like they're all connected, we were 560 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: all to kind of together making it happen. I think 561 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: this move will get the Green Bay Packers an opportunity 562 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: to get a blue chip receiver at the top of 563 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: the board. And when you think about the guys that 564 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: could be there for them, Garrett Wilson, to me, is 565 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: the one Matt Lafleur's own record saying they need a 566 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: legitimate wide receiver with speed. Well, when I think about 567 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: this draft, class to speeding playmaking ability to Garrett Wilson 568 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: offers as a standout buck. This is a guy that 569 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: not only puts the ball into paint, but he can 570 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: run the entire rout tree and he can do it 571 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: and explosive fashion. And if I am the Packers, I 572 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: am saying we gotta go up and get a guy 573 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: like that to help Aaron Rodgers into twilight of his career. 574 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: Training up for Gary Wilson, to me makes a ton 575 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: of sense. For the Green Bay Pack. Yeah, and guys, 576 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: I just I keep thinking about the quarterbacks and the 577 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: way we've seen the quarterback movement and the teams that 578 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: have been desperate to go and get one, which feels 579 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: like the Indianapolis Colts like almost the last six years 580 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: as they've trotted out new Week one starters each in 581 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: every year, and maybe this is the year where they 582 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: look at this without a first round pick and beaning like, 583 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: man be great to get into the first round and 584 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: to get a fifth year of control on a young quarterback. 585 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: Knowing we have Matt Ryan, I don't have a ton 586 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: of draft capital right after. You know, they had to 587 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: give their one of their third rounders up for Matt Ryan. 588 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: But what if they were able to package the forty 589 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: second overall pick in the seventy third overall pick and 590 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: move into that last spot of the first round with 591 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions at number thirty two. If the guy 592 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: that they really like is there, maybe that's Sam How 593 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: I think that could be a real interesting way for 594 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: the Colts to kind of allow him to sit there. 595 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: See how a true pro and Matt Ryan gets it done. 596 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: Get the best out of Matt Ryan, and these last 597 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: years of his career and then still with some time 598 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: on his contract on a manageable deal, Go get a 599 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: playmaker like Sam Howe who's got some athleticism as we 600 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: saw him run the football this year. I mean, guys 601 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: right up there with Malik Willis in terms of forced 602 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: miss tackles with the with the ball in his hands 603 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: on the ground, and then clearly he's got an arm 604 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: to get it done too. So I think that could 605 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: be one of those intriguing trades. Maybe it doesn't happen, 606 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: but uh, we're having some fun here, aren't we. DJ Yeah, 607 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: we're having fun, and it's not gonna happen. And I'm 608 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna tell you why it's not going to happen, because 609 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: Detroit's not gonna own the thirty second. Because Detroit is 610 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: gonna take that thirty second pick. They're gonna take a 611 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: third rounder, and they're gonna take a fifth rounder. The 612 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: points matchup, they're gonna go up to nineteen. The Philadelphia 613 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna be They're gonna be in a hurry 614 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: to get rid of one of these three first round 615 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: picks and drop back. They're gonna go up and take 616 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: Milik Willis. So they're gonna get up right in front 617 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who pick at twenty. They end up. 618 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: Let's say, your alliance fan, you get Aidan Hutchinson with 619 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: this second pick. You come back and make this move 620 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: to get Malik Willis. And oh, by the way, you 621 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: still have pick thirty four at the top of the 622 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: second round. If you want to move back from that slot, 623 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: you'll have an opportunity to do so. You've got somebody 624 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: you can dream on with Malik Willis with that huge upside, 625 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: Jared Goff with his presence, You're not gonna have to 626 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: rush him onto the field. I think it'd be a 627 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: perfect setup. This is This is awkward because I don't 628 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: think this has ever happened in a draft before. DJ 629 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: just turned into a card for a player that's already 630 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: been drafted. As you saw Bucky Brooks giving Malik Willis 631 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: to the Seattle Seahawks at number nine. I don't know 632 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: what the couson or does at this point. Um uh sorry, 633 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: and that guy's not available anymore. All right, Let's move 634 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: on to the San Francisco forty Niners here, shall we. 635 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: Let's drive that forty Niners van right there, into the 636 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: shop and Bucky, where are we going here for Kyle 637 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: Shanahan's crue so they don't fall short to the Rams 638 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: in the postseason next year? Well, it's all about the quarterback, 639 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: and the quarterback has to be Trade Lance. How can 640 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: we get Trade Lance to play at a high level 641 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: when he is a first time starter? And so it 642 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: has taken this entire offseason. The O t A Is 643 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: making sure that he's up and ready, rebuilding and tweaking 644 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: the offense to make sure you can incorporate his skills 645 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: as a runner into the mix. And then it's putting 646 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: pressure on Trade Lance to take over ownership of the team, 647 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: not only with his performance between the lines, but can 648 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: he be the leader that Jimmy Garoppolo is and can 649 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: he get those guys to kind of follow him like 650 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: they follow Jimmy g as a pie piper in that 651 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: locker room. Yeah, you know, I look at that defense 652 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: in some areas they could look at there. They don't 653 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: pick till sixty one. I believe it's their first selection. 654 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: D'Angelo Malone from Western Kentucky. Again, I just keep throwing 655 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: out all these edge dressers because there's a million of them, 656 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: he's only two three pounds. He plays much bigger than that. 657 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: You can watch the Indiana game reet close your eyes 658 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: like um just dominant as we see it on Q 659 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: right here with a sack against the Hoosiers. He was 660 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: hell on wheels in that game. Just needs a get 661 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: his pads a little bit lower. But there's a lot 662 00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: to work with, a lot of juice, a lot of 663 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: which they love there in San Francisco. I love getting 664 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: a few new names out there, as we've been talking 665 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: about kind of the same edge rusher or stuff in 666 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: the last few weeks. That's the kind of stuff you 667 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: get right here. I'll move the sticks and you'll hear 668 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: it as well. On Path of the Draft starting next 669 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: week here on NFL Network. Also excited UH to chat 670 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: a little bit about April fools Day coming up, because 671 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: you're kind of a prankster, kind of a jokester. I'm not. 672 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm not an April Fool's guy. Okay. I like, I'll 673 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: pull pranks and mess with people, but April is this 674 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: April fool is kind of obvious. Yeah, I mean it's 675 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: April Fool's Day every day with you. I mean it's 676 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: like you give me a compliment. I'm just like waiting 677 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: for the other shooter drop here at some point. Um, okay, 678 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: let's let's do this though a little feeling or fooling. 679 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: All right, to play along here with me for a minute, 680 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: and we'll give you a couple of topics. Um, let's 681 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: start with the quarterbacks, because, as we mentioned, really intriguing here, 682 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: where they're all going to go and how many we're 683 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: gonna get. So that's the subject here of this first 684 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: feeling or fooling. More than two quarterbacks are going to 685 00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: be drafted in the first round. Feeling fooling, I'm gonna 686 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say fooling on that one. I think we 687 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: get to I really do. I think we get two 688 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks ago. I feel very confident Malik Willis will be 689 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: one of them based off the upside. I think Kenny 690 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: Pickett will be the other one. But I wouldn't be 691 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: surprised if somebody had another flavor that they like, whether 692 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: that's Desmond Ritter, whether that's Sam how Um, it could 693 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: be Matt Corral. But I just look at the teams 694 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: and so many of them are set. I'm gonna say too. 695 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say that's really interesting too, because I 696 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: feel like the number is more like is it gonna 697 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: be three or is it gonna be four? Because if 698 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: three go before the thirty second pick, I just feel 699 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: like that's a great spot for somebody to get a 700 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: quarterback on a fifth year deal there, and whether it's 701 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: the Lions themselves at thirty two or whether it's you know, 702 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: another team as we mentioned earlier, kind of getting into 703 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: that spot um and trying to get that fifth year 704 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: on one of these quarterbacks who may not be as 705 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: ready to play as maybe we've seen in recent years. 706 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: So I feel like if we get three before thirty two, 707 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: we might get four. If there's just two before thirty two, 708 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: then it will be three. So that's kind of what 709 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm feeling at this point. But as you know, opinions 710 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: are subject to change as we get closer to the draft. 711 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: Let's have another conversation here, because your last mock draft 712 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 1: was hot and heavy on wide receivers, not five, not six, 713 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: but seven wide receivers in the first round, with Christian 714 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: Watson entering the Fray from North Dakota State, which I 715 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: find to be uh, absolutely intriguing. So using that as 716 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: a baseline here, knowing how we feel about the depth 717 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: of the edge rusher class, more edge rushers than wide 718 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: receivers taken in the first round. Feeling or fooling, Oh, 719 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: that is a good one, man. I think I'm gonna 720 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: say fooling because I think as much as I love 721 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: this edge rusher class, there's so many white outs, and 722 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: I think we could see, especially some of those teams 723 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: towards the back end of the first round. I think 724 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: you can see a lot of these white outs come 725 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: off the board. Now, you gotta remember too, with these 726 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: white outs. It's come up to me in several conversations 727 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: is around the league, people have noticed what these white 728 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: outs are making on the open market. It's extremely expensive. 729 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: We're talking about twenty million plus if you're looking at 730 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: what it costs to acquire a veteran receiver. And teams 731 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: are saying, hold on, let's just take one of the 732 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: first round I have cost control for five years. We 733 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: love the player, and we don't have to pay that price. Yeah. 734 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: I think that's really that's really interesting here for sure, 735 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: seeing all the money that's being thrown around with the 736 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: Tyree Kill deal and the Davante Adams deal and the 737 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: trades and the compensation that was sent around to get 738 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: these high profile wide receivers. Why not get one, you know, 739 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: in the first round and take five years with him. 740 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: That's certainly a realistic way to look at this thing, 741 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: and a nice strategy perhaps for some of these teams. 742 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to some teams outside or 743 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: some players outside of that first round, and maybe outside 744 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: of that day to conversation too. Let's go in the 745 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,239 Speaker 1: sticks here. DJ love digging in on some players who 746 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: we haven't really talked a lot about yet. Who's one 747 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: of those players that fits the bill as a guy 748 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: that's a little bit further down the list. I'm gonna 749 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: go Ivy League, and I'm gonna go e J. Perry, 750 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback from round Who's you know you're looking for comparisons. 751 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: I reminded me a little bit of Colt McCoy, similar size, 752 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: of outstanding athlete. They moved the pocket with him, They'll 753 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: let him run a lot of zone read stuff. Um 754 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: to me, he's kind of like that perfect backup quarterback. 755 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,760 Speaker 1: Think about somebody with that education. Obviously, you know, he's intelligent, 756 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: he can run around, he can make some plays. If 757 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: I gotta start and playing for a couple of weeks. 758 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: He can go in there and give me a fighting chance, 759 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 1: So that to me puts him in that fifth round, 760 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: sixth round discussion. I think it's a He's a fun 761 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: player to study, no question, and we really enjoyed having 762 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: him at the East West Shrine game, which you saw 763 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: right here in NFL Network earlier in February. This guy 764 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: came on in the second half with a huge deficit 765 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: for his team and nearly made up a twenty point 766 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: deficit to win that game. He threw for two d 767 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: and fifty plush yards with three touchdowns in the second half. 768 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: That is a stat line you do not see in 769 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: an All Star Game format. Just based on the limited 770 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: playing time, I think it might have been one of 771 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: the greatest performances by a quarterback in All Star Game 772 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: history at un official of course. Hold on, hold on, 773 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: Vernon Adams wants a word, Vernon Adams, Oregon. Yeah, you're right, 774 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: no question. I'm gonna give you one more in the 775 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: Sticks guy, because there was way too much for new 776 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: conversation in this show. Michael McFadden the linebacker out of 777 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 1: Indian Process. But it's one of the best your blitzers 778 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: from the second line, second level of defenses that we 779 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: saw in the Big Ten Conference this year. It's gonna 780 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: make somebody happy, and we're happy you joined. Goodluck the 781 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: Bucky Star Heels. By the way, thanks so much for 782 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: being with us again. We'll see I'm path of the 783 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: draft on Monday.
