00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody? John Middle Coop Three and Out podcast.

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: We had to go emergency because we had breaking major

3
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: news in the National Football League. The forty Niners are

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: now drafting at three. The Dolphins traded back to twelve

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: and then did a deal with the Eagles to get

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: back up to six. A lot of first round picks

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: moving hands to several different teams, and I thought, why

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: don't we dive into it. Obviously Three and Out podcasts

Speaker 1: if you listen on Collins feed, go subscribe to the

Speaker 1: the show, leave a review Apple iTunes. Greatly appreciate it.

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: It really helps keep the short keep this sweet. But

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I had to talk about it. I had to get

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: some content out there for the people, and I'm gonna

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: start with the forty Niners. Obviously live in the Bay Area.

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: I've spent the majority of my life in Northern California,

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: New Uh. This is easily the biggest trade the Niners

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: have ever made. It's one of the biggest swings you

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: can make as a franchise because any time that you

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: trade up in a draft, you know well before draft

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: day there is some unknown things are out of your control.

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: But I think it's fair to say, and I'm going

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: to take an educated guest here though I've kind of known,

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: and I've been hinting at it for a while that

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: they've been trying to trade up the number three. We

26
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: know who's going number one, and we have for several years.

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Basically after his freshman season, the two thousand twenty one

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: number one overall pick was gonna be Trevor Lawrence. So

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: the moment the season ended and the Jags got the

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: number one pick, even before we knew Urban Meyer was

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: the coach, the Jacksonville Jacks were not on the clock.

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: The Jets were. And we still don't have a resolution

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: to the Jets decision. Because Sam Donald is still on

34
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: the team, he could be traded at any moment. Zack Wilson,

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm recording this on Friday, just had is pro day.

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: He made some incredible throws. It feels very, very strongly

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: that Zack Wilson is going to be the number two pick,

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: whether they trade Sam Donald or whether, uh, you know,

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: they trade Sam Donald and take Zack Wilson, or maybe

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: they trade with someone else, you know, the Falcons, whoever,

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: and someone else takes Zack Wilson. Here's what I do

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: know though, and feel very very confident about this. The

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: forty Niners know that they know what the Jets are

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: doing because Robert sala is one of Kyle Shanahan's best friends,

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: has worked on a staff for the last four years.

46
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Mike Lafleur, Robert Sala's offensive coordinator, has been one of

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's minions for almost a decade. Matt Laflour's brother

48
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Green Bay Packers and was

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: a major offensive cog for the Niners the last four years,

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: and he was with Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta, knows him

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: very very well. The forty Niners know what the Jets

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: plans are. So in a draft where there are three

53
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks that are gonna go in the top ten,

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: the Niners know who they are taking. You don't pull

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: the trigger without doing that. But in two thousand twenty,

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: after going to the Super Bowl, being up in the

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and losing it basically in the last five

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: minutes of the game, the Niners kind of got kicked

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: in the nuts. They had a million injuries. It was

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: a disaster, but really the main injury that derailed their season.

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Was not Nick Bosa, who missed the majority of the

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: season with the torn a c L. Was not Richard Sherman,

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: who missed a ton of games. Was not trading the

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Forrest Bucker and replacing him with Javon Kinlaw. It wasn't

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: George Kittle who broke a foot and had his knee injured.

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: It was their quarterback situation, which was an utter disaster

67
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: because Jimmy Garoppolo, who in two thousand and eighteen after

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: the Niners extended to a big contract towards a c

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: L in Week three, missed the entire season. That's what

70
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: led the Niners to get Nick Bosa his one healthy

71
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: season of his career. The Niners went to the Super

72
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: Bowl and you came within a several plays of winning

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: the thing. And then last year with the team that

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be as good as two thousand nineteen but

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: easily would have made the playoffs if Jimmy just would

76
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: have played the entire season. They couldn't because Jimmy missed

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: ten games and towards the second half of the season

78
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: when the Niners, because of the Corona Crazy laws in

79
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Santa Clara County got kicked out of Santa Clara. They

80
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: had to play home games in Arizona because California is

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: led by so many whack jobs. But the problem was

82
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: not even that they had to replace themselves. I'd rather

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: be in Scottsdale than the South Bay Hell. I plan

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: on moving there, honestly, asked most of the players on

85
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: the team. I did DM and text with some of them.

86
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: They were glad they saved money on taxes, But you know,

87
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the main issue was and they won some of those games.

88
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: They beat the Rams, they beat the Cardinals. Uh was

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo was in a suite taking notes and people

90
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: around the Niners. They had several players that had high

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: ankle sprains throughout the year. All of them came back

92
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: and played. Jimmy Garoppolo disappeared and never came back. And

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: at that moment, in one of those games, they played

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in a Monday night football game and

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen destroyed them. And I think a lot of

96
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: people view Kyle Shanahan through the prism of he likes

97
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, he likes Matt Shobs, he likes Matt Ryan's

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: because that's who guys he's had success with and they've liked,

99
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: and even Jimmy Garoppolo, well, he said some things after

100
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: that game. After Josh Allen, you know, eviscerated them. It

101
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: felt like he threw for eight hundred yards. Was like,

102
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think Kyle's changed his tune a little bit.

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I think it's become evident you can't win anything in

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: this league with average at quarterback. Look at the teams

105
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: that consistently compete for the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes.

106
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: Now the Bills are gonna be in the mix. They

107
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen. Hell, even the Ravens, who were a

108
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: joke the last couple of years with Flacco, drafted Lamar Jackson.

109
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: They're now in the playoffs every season. Pete Carroll, I

110
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: don't know what's exactly gonna happen with Russell Wilson, But

111
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: as long as Russell Wilson stays on Seattle, here's what

112
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: I do know. Seattle will be in the playoffs every

113
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: fucking year. And the forty Niners who listen, I watched

114
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: this guy very closely. His record hasn't been that great.

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is big time at his job. But he

116
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: needs a real quarterback. He needs a quarterback he can

117
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: depend on. Well, they they're in Silicon Valley, the area

118
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: where people get rich overnight. Why because they take big swings. Well,

119
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: who's in the forty Niners division? The l A Rams.

120
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: What do they do? They take massive swings. They don't

121
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: care about first round picks like at all. They just

122
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: got rid of Jared Goff, who the Niners have absolutely

123
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: kicked his ass the last two years. They beat the

124
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Rams four times in the last two years. Even this year,

125
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: when the Niners won six games, two of their wins

126
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: wins came against the Rams. They own Jared Goff. You

127
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: know what Sean McVeigh said, Jared Goff, pack your stuff,

128
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: You're headed to Detroit. He upgraded quarterbacks because the Rams

129
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: are very, very aggressive, and I think that inspired Kyle.

130
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Now listen, they didn't make this move. And when I

131
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: say Kyle, John Lynch is the general manager. John Lynch

132
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: answers the Kyle Shanahan. This move does not get made

133
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: without John Lynch or excuse me, Kyle Shanahan signing off

134
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: of it. I think they know exactly the quarterback they're taking.

135
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 1: I would guess over the last month, Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch,

136
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Adam Peters, Uh, Mike McDaniel now kind of Kyle Shanahan's

137
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: right hand guy. They have done extensive research projects on

138
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Mac Jones, and Justin Fields. Me personally,

139
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: I would go Justin Fields. As mel Kiper mentioned it,

140
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: his upside, like Herbert, like Josh Allen, is as high

141
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: as the sky. If I'm going to three, I'm taking

142
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: a swing on a guy with the upside to be

143
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. That's why Mac Jones, who I do like,

144
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't touch at number three overall ceiling capped Trey Lance.

145
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: People I know in the league, you know, not down

146
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: on him, just think he's a major project. But also

147
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: like Justin Fields has large physical skills, tall, can run,

148
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: has a big arm. You have to go with a

149
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: guy like that because this league's about a high upside

150
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Like I mentioned, the guys that win, Brady Rogers,

151
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes Now, Josh Allen, even Lamar. You better be a freak.

152
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: You better be a dominant, dominant physical player, or you're

153
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: not winning consistently in this league. That's why Jimmy Garoppolo.

154
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: The Niners are up and down because they can't depend

155
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: on the guy. And even when he's playing, let's face it,

156
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: he's just the middle of the road quarterback, which Kyle's proven.

157
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: You give the middle of road of the quarterback, you

158
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: can win double digit games. But I give them credit

159
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: for understanding they need a dynamic quarterback. Understanding the first

160
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: round picks, Like, how do you give away so many

161
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: first round picks? Who cares? Rams do it? Every year?

162
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: They have not had a losing record since Sean McVeigh

163
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: has been there. They have also not had a first

164
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: round pick. They're overrated. If you have an elite coach

165
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: and you have a good quarterback, well I know the

166
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: forty Niners. They have a big time coach. It's now

167
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: time to go get an elite quarterback. Now there's risk involved.

168
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: Guess what. There's risk involved in anything. You can stay

169
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: in the slow lane instead of the fast lane, that

170
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: does not mean you're not gonna get into a car accident.

171
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Car accidents happen in the fast lane, they happen in

172
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: the slow lane. I personally would always much rather being

173
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: in the fast lane. I want to get to my

174
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: destination faster. Just like me personally. I will always take

175
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: a swing on a quarterback with large physical attributes. When

176
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: I say large, I just mean elite. I mean a

177
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: big arm. I need a guy fast, I need a

178
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: big player. I'm not into small little guys. I like

179
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I watched him get slammed to the ground

180
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: mid season. He was never the same. Justin Fields and

181
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Trey Lance are big. Both of them are six four.

182
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: I like big time athletes because that's usually what's wins

183
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I know we use Russell Wilson and

184
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. Those guys are outliers, both of them, First ballot,

185
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers. Draft little guys you're usually gonna, you know,

186
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: get burned. Now. Granted they're not little guys in this draft.

187
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: But Mac Jones, he's not a great athlete, doesn't have

188
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: a big arm. Good player. I don't mind. Mac Jones

189
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: would love him in the second round. Clearly he's gonna

190
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: go on the top ten. Not my cup of tea.

191
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: But when you mortgage the twelfth overall pick, a two

192
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: thousand first round pick, a two thousand three first round pick,

193
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: and a two thousand only two third round pick, I'm

194
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: taking a big swing. And I'll give the Niners credit.

195
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: We don't know the player they're gonna take. They took

196
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: a big swing. Sometimes we take big swings. You'll strike out.

197
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: That's part of the deal. At least you had the

198
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: balls to get in the batter's box. The Miami Dolphins,

199
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: who now have a boatload of picks, here's what they

200
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: established to a Tonga Bla is our guy. We're gonna

201
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: build this thing around too. And here's what they have.

202
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: They have two first round picks in this draft. They

203
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: have a six pick, and then they have their own pick.

204
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: They also have two twos. So I think it's fair

205
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: to say the moment they went from twelve backup to six,

206
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: they're acknowledging we're getting an elite skill guy. Whether that's

207
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, whether that's Jamaar Chase, whether that's Davante Smith,

208
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: whether that's Jalen Waddle. I feel pretty confident between those

209
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: four guys, the number six pick is gonna be one

210
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: of them. I would double down in my two ones

211
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: and my two twos. At minimum, I'm taking three offensive guys,

212
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: whether that be alignment, whether that be a tight end,

213
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: whether that be a running back, whether that be a

214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver because of going all in on TOA and

215
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: one thing we saw last year with Ta, he needs

216
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: better players around him to look good. The Dolphins skill

217
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: guys last year, we're not very good. What did TA

218
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: look like? Not very good? Ryan Fitzpatrick look fine. He's

219
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: used to it. TA used to play with an all

220
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: star cast. What am I gonna do in this draft?

221
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: If I'm Chris Career and Brian Flores, I'm gonna go

222
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: get some offensive skill guys and then within a couple

223
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: of years we're gonna have some answers Because you're already

224
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball. Justin Herbert already looks like a star. Well,

225
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: that's water under the bridge. You've already made the pick.

226
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: You didn't pick them, you got to Ah, And you're

227
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: basically also acknowledging there's gonna be an elephant in the

228
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: room of if the Niners draft a guy that turns

229
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: into a star player and Toua does not, it'll be

230
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: hard to shake that. But because you have all these picks,

231
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: you do have the capability, you do have the draft

232
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: capital to go land some sweet dudes. So two is

233
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna have no excuse. So they're gonna go heavily on offense,

234
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: as they should. They have a defensive head coach who's

235
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: proven that he can take random guys on defense and

236
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: be pretty good. They got a good secondary, They drafted

237
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: a pass rusher last year. Draft offense, but the Dolphins

238
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: basically showed their hand today. They're all in on Tua

239
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: Tonga Byloa, which if I would have told you a

240
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: year ago, you just said, of course they are. They

241
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: just drafted the guy five overall. We had some evidence

242
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: it didn't look pretty, but they are not. They're not pivoting,

243
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: and they have basically one. They have four. They have

244
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: five first round picks the next three years. They have

245
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: two twos this year, three twos next. They have four

246
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: twos the next two years. They have a ton of

247
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: draft capital time to nail some players. The Dolphins could

248
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: be really good if Towah is just solid and they

249
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: hit on a lot of picks. They actually don't even

250
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: need to it to be Justin Herbert. Obviously they would

251
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: love for him to be, but let's face it, he's not.

252
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the physical attributes to be that. But

253
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: what he what he does have the potential to have

254
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: is be surrounded by a lot of elite players. If

255
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: they ailed these drafts the next couple of years, their

256
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: team could be loaded in hell to It could be

257
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: like the left handed Kirk Cousins, and it'd be fine.

258
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: You know what Kirk Cousins does in Miami put up

259
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: or excuse me, Minnesota puts up huge numbers. You know

260
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: why he's throwing the feeling digs now, Jefferson handed it

261
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: to Cook, throwing it to Rudolph or Smith like they

262
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: got dudes. Surround solid guys with dudes. They look good.

263
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: I think most of us don't even think that's the

264
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. What does that do When he's in

265
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: the game, he usually looks pretty good. He's throwing a

266
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, he's throwing to a Mark Cooper, He's handed

267
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: to Zeke, he's handed at the Pollard like they got

268
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: guys or Gallop. You don't need to be fucking Dan

269
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: Marino to take your team in the Super Bowl. If

270
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: you're just solid and your GM and head coach are

271
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: good and they do a good job of drafting, especially

272
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: when you have a million picked, your team could be good.

273
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: So I actually look at to it differently. I don't

274
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: expect that much of him. I just expect him to

275
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: be better than he was last year. But I don't

276
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: I don't need him to be a top ten quarterback

277
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: if I'm a Dolphins fan or even the Dolphins. You know,

278
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,840

282

Speaker 1: then the other move is listen. How he's taking a

283
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: lot of heat over the last couple of months. And

284
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: here's what I will say about Carson Wentz. He went

285
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: all in on Carson Wentz. I would have too, especially

286
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: once he paid him like Carson had showed he was

287
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: a special talent. Then Carson crumbled like a cookie for

288
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: whatever reason, whether he couldn't handle the Philly media, whether

289
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: it's teammates didn't like him, whether him and dugged in

290
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: c ied I. There's a lot of stuff out of

291
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: how he's control. When you're the GM, you don't you're

292
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: not the offensive play caller. Now, did they do a

293
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: great job of drafting the skill guys last couple of years?

294
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: They could have done better. J. J Artega Whiteside is

295
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: a terrible pick, but Miles Sanders looks pretty good. Dallas

296
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Goddard is good. Jalen Reagor time will tell, but towards

297
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: the end of the season looked like he was coming on.

298
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: Here's what they also have. They have the ability to

299
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: kind of bottom out play Jalen this year, see what

300
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: happens next year. They potentially have three first round picks.

301
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: They have their own. If it goes well for WinCE

302
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: and the Colts, they will have the Colts and they

303
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: will also have as of recording this, I don't know

304
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: if the if the first round pick that the Eagles

305
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: got from the Dolphins is the Dolphins or the forty niners,

306
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: but either way they got a first round pick. They

307
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: also the next two years, including those picks, have nine

308
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: picks in the first three rounds. So they if they

309
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: draft well, which they did when they built the Super

310
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: Bowl team, they could kind of get this train back

311
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: on the tracks pretty quick. And that's the key with

312
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the Eagles when you have a lot

313
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: of draft capital. Because I saw it once upon a

314
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: time when they got rid of Khalil Mack and they

315
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: got rid of Amari Cooper, and we're like, oh my god,

316
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: Jon Gruden has all these picks, and then three years

317
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: later it's like, wow, they got Josh Jacobs out of it.

318
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: You're right, You're like, you gotta hit the picks. That

319
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: is now the key back to the Niners with the

320
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: number three overall pick. It's awesome. I'm glad they did it.

321
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: I I make a lot of money talking about the

322
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: Niners for a living. The more interesting they are, the

323
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: more content I can produce. I am pro them doing

324
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: sweet shit. But eventually, this kid, whoever they draft, better

325
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: be good. All these picks that you're gonna surround two

326
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: with these players, you better nail him. Like, honestly, I'm

327
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: not even that big of a Jalen Hurts guy. I

328
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: don't think he's that good. But really it won't matter

329
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: because if he's not good and this year they win

330
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: three or four games, next year they'll have a top

331
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: pick plus multiple other first round picks. That's how the

332
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins turned it around. Now, unlike the Niners, we know

333
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's good the Dolphins Brian Flores is solid. We

334
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: don't know anything about the Eagles head coach. And part

335
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: of being a general manager is obviously making good moves

336
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: in free agency, doing good stuff with the draft, and

337
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: how he's a wheeler and a dealer and now he's

338
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: acquired all these picks. But they picked and Jeffrey lury

339
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: definitely signed off on this, Sirianni. So the health of

340
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles moving forward will be on them using these

341
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: picks and putting them to good use. But also, is

342
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: there coach any good I have no clue. I had

343
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: heard good things about before he was hired. Watched the

344
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: press conference and obviously didn't go well. He's replacing Doug Peterson,

345
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: who say, what you want beat Bill Belichick in a

346
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So it's not gonna be easy. And they

347
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: got some just like if Carson Wentz plays. Well, here's

348
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: the thing with the Eagles. I get why they traded

349
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Ultimately the owner wanted him gone. It's not

350
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: even a GM call for them to trade Carson Wentz.

351
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Lurie has to be the one wanting him gone,

352
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: and he did, and Carson's now on the Colts. But

353
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: and listen, I think most Eagle fans were just ready

354
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: for a breakup. And it's easy to say right now

355
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: in late March. But what happens in November. If the

356
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: Eagles aren't that good this year and the Colts are,

357
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 1: you know, eight and two, and Wentzes looks like a

358
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: pro bowler, people will forget and be really piste off.

359
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: I've lived there for a couple of year. Just the

360
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: nature of the character of the way that team has

361
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: covered and the fan base as they should. I'd be

362
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: mad too if I was a fan so that there

363
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: is an elephant in the room with the Eagles. Of like,

364
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: if Carson Wentz balls for the Colts and the Eagles

365
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: aren't that good this year with Jalen, there just is

366
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of animosity in the city. Now, ultimately,

367
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: this is not like a GM move, like the owner

368
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: wanted this. But then the pressure on Howie the next

369
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: couple of years is to nail these picks and use

370
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: these picks and replenish everything. So honestly, if they were

371
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: to like finish last this year in the NFC East

372
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: and win three or four games, they'd easily have the

373
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: ammo to get up and get a sweet quarterback if

374
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: there is one in the draft. There are going to

375
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: have a ton of options. The irony two of everything

376
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: of this happening on Friday, as the NFL had just

377
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: a week ago or a little over a week had

378
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: signed the Hunter and thirteen billion dollar deal is yesterday.

379
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: Was the NBA tread that trade deadline. Let's let's face

380
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: it was kind of a dud. Many of the players

381
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: that were traded. I mean, unless you're a die hard

382
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: NBA fan, you don't even know who these guys are.

383
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Besides like Region Rondo and the NFL, which used to

384
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: be the least I would say the most traded verse

385
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: sport of Obviously baseball was heavy into trades, Basketball heavy

386
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: into trades, and football was hit or missed. Football now

387
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: has these general managers and a lot of coaches who

388
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: are in charge who make so much money now that

389
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people used to be a job preservation

390
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: because it was hard to ever get another job, and like,

391
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: you weren't making that much money. If you were a

392
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: head coach in the mid nineties, you know, maybe made

393
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: six seven hundred thousand dollars the head coach. If you're

394
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: a head coach in the National Football League now it

395
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: makes like ten million dollars. Bran Flores probably makes seven

396
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: or eight. Gms are making three four million dollars. If

397
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: any of these guys get fired, they have generational wealth.

398
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: They don't even need to worry necessarily about getting another job.

399
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: So when you're not worried about the money, what can

400
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: you do? It's easier to be aggressive. You're like, if

401
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, whatever, I'm rich. Now. I'm not saying

402
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: that's why these teams made the move, but I think

403
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: paying these gems more, and obviously these coaches make more.

404
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: Never you're seeing more trades. Football has become a lot

405
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: like what baseball? What? What I remember growing up? What

406
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: basketball used to be a basket? I mean, those sports

407
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: still are, but now football makes the trades. It was

408
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: like the one thing football acts like. You never see

409
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: crazy trades. We see trades all the time. Stafford goff

410
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: uh Carson Wentz this big trade the drafts over a

411
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: month away, and I'm glad. It makes her a great content,

412
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: it makes her great entertainment. It's the big reason the

413
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: NFL is running circles around every league because they're by

414
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: far the most interesting because they got legitimate, tangible, substantial

415
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: action like this did not exist twenty years ago. Maybe

416
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: once in a blue moon, something like this would happen.

417
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: It happens all the time, and there's a chance that

418
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: any day for the next month, it's like, oh, Sam

419
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: Donald's been traded to whoever, and the Jets make a

420
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: big trade, or maybe the dreet Jets keep Sam Donald

421
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: and trade the number two overall pick. Action action action.

422
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Just just an awesome day for the NFL, an awesome

423
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: day for US content creators. And uh, I think all

424
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: three of these teams, like, if I was a fan,

425
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: if I was a Niner fan, I'd be fired up.

426
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a swing on a franchise quarterback and

427
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: get rid of Jimmy I'm always hurt Garoppolo. If I'm

428
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: a Dolphins fan, it's like, okay, time time to see

429
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: what two of does with some sweet guys around him.

430
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: And if I'm an Eagles fan, this year might suck,

431
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: but you are loaded with picks, nine picks in the

432
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: first three rounds the next two years, in two, twenty three,

433
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: next year, potentially three first round picks. So if you

434
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 1: are gonna blow it up, which they did when they

435
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: traded Carson Wentz, there's hope on the way. There are

436
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: resources on the way. What an unreal day to day

437
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: that day s
