1 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: When it comes to the NFL Draft, they're not just 2 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: spinning the wheel in Vegas. But will the Raiders' latest 3 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: new regime go all in on a big name quarterback 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: drafts top running back or maybe somebody else here what 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll had to say today about Shador Sanders, Ashton 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: Genty and more. Our guy Adam Rank is a new 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: mock draft out and he's got the Raiders taking a 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: cornerback with a C. It's actually not even the most 9 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: stunning pick the Rank has. 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 2: He will tell you why. 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: There's a difference between what teams will do and what 12 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: he says they should do. Somebody is going to get 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: a stunt edge rusher from UCLA. But where will Oluwa Femi, 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: Olin Danjoe Land and when we'll get answers when Femi 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: joins our Omarweeze to discuss his future. It's almost here. 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: Welcome inside with the inside there's alongside Judy Battista, I 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: am Tom Pelisero. This is our final show before Draft week, 18 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: not our final show. 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: We'll be back. 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: We'll be in Green Bay on Monday, but final show. 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: It's the week before the week. We are now just 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: six days away from the NFL Draft kicking off in 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the Tennessee Titans officially being on 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: the clock. Of course, there has been ample speculation. As 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: you see the final touches, well some of the first touches, 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: it looks like being put on the draft stage outside 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: lambeau Field, a lot of discussion about the number one 28 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: pick being cam Ward, and our Daniel Jeremiah, in speaking 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: with reporters earlier today, certainly does not disagree with Ward 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: landing in Tennessee. 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 4: Sure feels like a slam dunk. I'd be pretty shocked 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: if they didn't go with cam Ward there with the 33 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 4: first overall pick. It feels like, you know, Hunter two, 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 4: and then Abdul Carter three, and then with the Patriots, 35 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 4: I just have continually heard that offensive tackle was going 36 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 4: to be addressed, and I've continually heard that, you know, 37 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 4: that's Will Campbell's spot. 38 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguar sitting at five. And then you get to 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: one of the most fascinating teams in round one, a 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: new day again in Las Vegas. Shdor Sanders, Ashtrion genty 41 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: certainly popular picks land Zer Line going with Jalen Walker 42 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: as the pick at number six, overall, did John Spytech 43 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll maybe drop some draft clues today? 44 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 5: The idea is to add e leade players at any position, 45 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 5: and I don't I don't try to devalue any certain position. 46 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 5: I mean, there's times in games where there's there's nobody 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 5: you'd rather have than the best kicker in the league, too, right, 48 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 5: I mean in that moment. So there's certain ways to 49 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 5: build a team, and I just I don't know where 50 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 5: we got to a place where we don't feel. 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 6: Like running backs are valued. 52 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 5: I I come from the University of Michigan, to my core, 53 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 5: and those guys were certainly really valued there. So it's 54 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 5: hard for me to get away from that. You guys 55 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 5: have all done your investigative journalism well enough to know 56 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 5: that we've brought some quarterbacks in and that wasn't by 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 5: accident at it by any means. And we're we remain 58 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 5: open to the most important position in sports to get right. 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 5: And we're super excited to have Junior here and we 60 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 5: continue to expect them to be here for a while. 61 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 6: But you can't have too many of those guys right now. 62 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 7: We're building this team, and so much of that comes 63 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 7: from the character and the attitude and the makeup of 64 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 7: the people, And so as we draft all the way 65 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 7: throughout the rounds, you know that's going to be a 66 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 7: huge factor in all of our decisions. And we're really 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 7: connected and our thinking in that regard. So I know 68 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 7: we both feel very comfortable about going into this because 69 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 7: we know we have that kind of baseline that we're 70 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 7: starting from. 71 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: Let's welcome in our Steve Whites to the conversation. 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: Steve. 73 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: You hear Pete Carroll and John spy Tech talking right there. 74 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: They've got some building blocks. You got brock Bauers, you 75 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: got Max Crosby, you traded for Geno Smith. But there 76 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: are a lot of spots and holes they've got to 77 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: fill on that roster. How do you envision these two 78 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: tag teaming this thing in their first draft together next week? 79 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Christian Wilkins, you know Smith, some players there. 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 8: But you heard Pete Carroll say right there, they're building, 81 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 8: not rebuilding, not adding to a core. 82 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 6: They're building. 83 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 8: And part of the thing that that a spy Tech 84 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 8: and Carroll want to make sure people knew is that 85 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 8: they were on alignment. They were asked a question, with 86 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 8: all things being equal, who has final decision making power, 87 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 8: and they shot down a battle of egos or structure 88 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 8: right away. Pete Carroll said there will be a consensus 89 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 8: on these draft picks, with John spy Tech saying, if 90 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 8: we don't have a consensus, then we're probably not going 91 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 8: to take that player. So they're saying they're in alignment 92 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 8: on the types of players that they want, and they 93 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 8: stressed character, passion, and competitive spirit. We know that's big 94 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 8: with Pete Carroll, the competition part of it. So spy 95 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 8: Tech was saying, hey, the fact that they brought these 96 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 8: players in, they were looking at them eye to eye, 97 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 8: even in a fifteen minute interview at the combine. They 98 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 8: hope they can get some information about the kids' willingness 99 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 8: to compete in whatever way that they've done that because 100 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 8: that is such a huge aspect of what they're trying 101 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 8: to have on their roster. Want a bunch of guys 102 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 8: who go out there every day to practice, like Max Crosby. 103 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 9: They don't have that many Max Crosby's on that roster. 104 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: Let's face it. 105 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 9: They have a handful of very good players and then 106 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 9: a roster with a whole lot of holes. I was 107 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 9: struck by the fact that they sure didn't slam the 108 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 9: door on the quarterback question when he said, you know, 109 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 9: we didn't bring those guys in by accident. That certainly 110 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 9: makes you think they're looking seriously at a quarterback, even 111 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 9: if it's not with the first round draft pick. Steve, 112 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 9: what are your impressions about what direction they're going to 113 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 9: go here? 114 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, they've got nine, they've got nine overall picks, and 115 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 8: to me, they made it abundantly clear a quarterback will 116 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 8: be used or us in some way to acquire a quarterback, 117 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 8: even if it's used as trade bait to get a 118 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 8: veteran quarterback in there. Let's not forget what Pete Carroll 119 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 8: did when he first got to the Seattle on twenty twelve. 120 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 8: They spent at the time thirty six million dollars on 121 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 8: a three year deal to get veteran Matt Flynn to 122 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 8: be their starter. What happens they draft Russell Wilson in 123 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 8: the third round. Oh, and guess who beat out Matt 124 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 8: Flynn to be the starter. Carroll, we talked about the 125 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 8: competitive spirit. 126 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 6: This is what he's all about. 127 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 8: So again, I think they're going to have a quarterback 128 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 8: in there, and not just a training camp arm somebody 129 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 8: who can come in and give Geno Smith a run 130 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 8: for his money, even though Gino Smith is their guy. 131 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 8: Another position that they didn't shut it down. We heard 132 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 8: right there is running back. We know Ashton Genty out 133 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 8: of Boise State, if he is there at six, could 134 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 8: be somebody who's highly appealing to them. We know Pete 135 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 8: Carroll wants to run the football. He will draft a 136 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 8: running back in the first round. We saw him do 137 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 8: that with Seattle. We saw at USC he had star 138 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 8: running back after star running back. So that is a 139 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 8: core type of player we'll see later in the draft. 140 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 8: Offensive tackle. We know Colton Miller's having some contract discussions. 141 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 8: They got a lot of ways that they can go. 142 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 8: But you know, you heard some slight things in there 143 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 8: with Spy Tech talking about, hey, we value skilled players. 144 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 8: You know, we don't undervalue running backs the quarterback. They 145 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 8: got a lot of ways they can go. But I 146 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 8: think those two valuable spots on offense will be fairly 147 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 8: high on the Raiders priority list. 148 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: Is a steep hill to climb in the AFC West. 149 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: Everybody chasing the Kansas City Chiefs, who have made a 150 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: habit of go into the Super Bowl basically every year. 151 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: That list also includes the Denver Bronco Whs took a 152 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: big step forward last season in Sean Payton's second year 153 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: at the Helm, getting into the playoffs behind their rookie 154 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: quarterback bow Knicks. This is as close to a mock 155 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: draft consensus as you're going to see. Six mock drafts. 156 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Five votes for Omrion Hampton, who we had on the 157 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: show last night. Sean Payton, you got any answers for us? 158 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 6: There's two. 159 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 10: Great allies that I think for quarterback play. To help 160 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 10: quarterback play, it's real good defense and obviously a real 161 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 10: good running game, and so I appreciate that term weapons. 162 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 10: And yet I think, look, they'll be focused on the 163 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 10: running back position. It's a pretty good draft for running backs. 164 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Not many more valuable draft picks in recent years than 165 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: Brock Purty, mister irrelevant in the draft back in twenty 166 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: twenty two. And now he's in a position where he's 167 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: looking for a market level contract. Besides him yet to 168 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: agree on exactly what that deal would look like, though 169 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: one of his division rivals, Poka Nakua, actually has some 170 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: thoughts on the situation. 171 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: Brock Prudy, is he going to get a five. 172 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 6: I don't think. 173 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 10: So. 174 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 6: Do you think he's going to go with a four? 175 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 11: It's going to start with a four? 176 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 10: Yeah? 177 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 6: High four? 178 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 10: Umm? 179 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 11: No, I think mid for a forty five? 180 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 6: I think so. 181 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I think if he does that, that'd be 182 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: smart for him and them. 183 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I think he's he seems like a 184 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 12: smart guy. I think he like there's still they have 185 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 12: a chance to still be in their window. And I 186 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 12: think if if he goes for a five, that the 187 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 12: window closes. 188 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: Right. 189 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: Puka would be a hard negotiator because there is absolutely 190 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: no way the brock Perty's new contract is going to 191 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: start with a four. Will set that aside. Let's need 192 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: somewhere following that in the back of his head for 193 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: whenever Pooka is up for a new deal. You don't 194 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: normally hear that type of open comment Steve, about a 195 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: player talking about someone else's contract. Here, it's a real thing, though, 196 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: when we've already seen the forty nine ers taking some 197 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: steps forward in terms of moving on from some high 198 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: price veteran players, to face the reality that once you 199 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: have a rookie quarterback who's no longer on that rookie contract, 200 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: things do change. From a roster building perspective. 201 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, Tom, let's get to your point, Poop. 202 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, brock Perty is not starting at a mid 203 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 8: four contract. He has been vastly underpaid based on the 204 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 8: production over his first three years. I mean, he just 205 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 8: made but a million or so dollars last year. There's 206 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 8: quarterbacks in college making more money than him. So this 207 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 8: is why a deal hasn't been done yet. I mean 208 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 8: his side wants a market deal, like fifty fifty million 209 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 8: dollars annual plus type of deal. But the Niners also known. 210 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 8: These are from conversations that we had the league meetings 211 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 8: that they're negotiating kind of against themselves. Right if you 212 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 8: were on the open market, would he get that type 213 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 8: of deal that? That's what they're battling now. It doesn't 214 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 8: sound like they're that far away, but clearly some hurdles 215 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 8: to get to now. In terms of Pook and the Kua, Pooky, 216 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 8: you gotta understand when you do a podcast that goes 217 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 8: out everywhere, because guess what, you're elegent for an extension 218 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 8: after this season, dude, And if you keep producing, I 219 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 8: keep producing, You're going to be in there with the 220 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 8: Aman Ross and Brown guys of thirty million plus annually. 221 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 8: You want people talking about your pockets. You gotta be 222 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 8: careful doing this type of stuff. 223 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: My man. 224 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think we can emphasize enough how extremely 225 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 9: unusual it is to hear a player talk about another 226 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 9: player's contract, especially a player suggesting that the other player 227 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 9: take a below market deal. 228 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: You just don't hear players say that. 229 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 9: I certainly would wonder how that was received in the 230 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 9: Rock Party camp, or in any camp, and certainly I'm 231 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 9: sure it is being filed away in the Rams front office. 232 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 2: For future use. 233 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 9: I also sort of take his sho with the idea 234 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 9: that you can't win if you have a quarterback with 235 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 9: a contract that starts with the number five. I mean, 236 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 9: we just saw the Eagles do it, and Jalen Hurts 237 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 9: contract has an average annual value. 238 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: That starts the five. So it is doable. 239 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 9: You have to have a team that's really good at 240 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 9: drafting and really good in free agency the way the 241 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 9: Eagles were, and really smart about how they structure the contracts. 242 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 9: And yes, the Eagles are going through a little bit 243 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 9: of a period now where they've lost some players in 244 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 9: free agency. And yes, the San Francisco forty nine ers 245 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 9: have had to let some players go in preparation for 246 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 9: this rock Party contract. 247 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 2: But I do think it's a bit overstated. 248 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 9: The idea that you can't have a highly paid quarterback 249 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 9: and have your windows shut completely. 250 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 2: That's just not true. 251 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 9: The salary cap is rising, it's rising dramatically every year. 252 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: It's doable. 253 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 9: I would say that, Pooka, just tap the brakes on 254 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 9: your negotiating skills. Make sure your agent is not quite 255 00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 9: listening to you. 256 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 13: Ward back of the end zone, talk for a touchdown, 257 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 13: and guess so, mister rival in space to the put 258 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 13: on touchdown? 259 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: Warn another one on one, drops it over the shoulder. 260 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 13: Throws into the end zone, Todd ten yard line. Ward's 261 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 13: gonna take off, diving touchdown. Cam Ward, there's the wheels. 262 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Cam Ward the presumptive number one pick to the Tennessee Titans. 263 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: It's at number two where things could start to get weird. 264 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: It certainly did in our guy Adam Rank's recent mock draft. 265 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: Now this is not, as the headline shows there, what 266 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: Rank thinks will happen. He's taking the bold choice of 267 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: telling you what each team should do in round one. 268 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: Rank here to explain further on the insiders with me, 269 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: Tom Pelicero as well as Judy Batista rank you went 270 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: chalk with that number one pick with cam Ward two 271 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: through four? What the hell happens here? 272 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 14: What do you mean if the Cleveland Browns are calling 273 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 14: me up and they're like, hey, who should we take 274 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 14: at number two? 275 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 11: Dude? 276 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 3: Take up Dual Carter? 277 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 11: What are you thinking? 278 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 14: You got Joe Flacco, you got Kenny Pickett, your solid 279 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 14: at quarterback. Why not fourtify that defensive side? It was 280 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 14: two years ago the Browns made a run to the 281 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 14: playoffs with Joe Flacco at quarterback, and you're still in 282 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 14: a division with Joe Burrow, with Lamar Jackson. Those guys 283 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 14: seem to be pretty good. Why don't you fortify your 284 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 14: defensive line? Miles Garrett ab Duel Carter give you a 285 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 14: huge advantage and you go out there and you win 286 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 14: with defense, and you win with that. 287 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: Joe Flacco or Kenny Pickett. 288 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 14: As for the Giants, listen, I know the Giants are 289 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 14: kind of in this mode where like, hey, you made 290 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 14: a mistake. You gotta go up and make it up 291 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 14: to everybody. Yeah, we shouldn't have let Saquon Barkley. 292 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 3: Go to the Eagles. 293 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 14: But listen, what would you say if we brought in 294 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 14: ash Jin Genty to be the guy to replace Saquon Barkley. Oh, 295 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 14: this feels like, hey, I forgot to bring a gift. 296 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 14: I'm bringing Ashton Genty. But that's exactly what It's exactly 297 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 14: what you need to do. Like I'm so sorry I 298 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 14: forgot it was your birthday. Here's Jashion Genty. 299 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 6: Pretty good. 300 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 14: They will have to address the offensive line at some point. 301 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 6: You do that later. 302 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 14: And for the Patriots, let's get fun. Patriots, do you 303 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 14: have the worst offensive line in the NFL? 304 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 3: Well? Pro Football Focus seems to think think so. However, 305 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: I don't care. You worry about that later. 306 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 14: Much in the same way as my kids are doing 307 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 14: homework right now because they spent their entire spring break 308 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 14: goofing around. 309 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 3: You worry about that later. 310 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 14: Go get Travis Hunter, let him be your wide receiver 311 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 14: with Stefan Diggs and all that good stuff. A dragway 312 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 14: and by the way, let him play let them play corner. Hey, 313 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 14: I don't know if you've paid attention to baseball. The 314 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 14: Angels brought in sho Hey Otane seven years ago, and 315 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 14: they said, listen, you can pitch and you can hit, 316 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 14: and it worked out pretty well. Show Hey turned out 317 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 14: to be a pretty good player. Let's be fun, NFL 318 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 14: let Travis Hunter play both to the football. 319 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 9: I can't imagine the reaction. I'm going to be at 320 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 9: the New York Giants, and I can't imagine the reaction 321 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 9: at the Giants draft. 322 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: Party if they now would draft a running back. I 323 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: think it would sort of be like, oh, now you 324 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: like running backs? 325 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 9: Two years too, eate and they pass on Travis Hunter. 326 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 9: In the meantime, all right, let's go. You've got three 327 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 9: tight ends going in the first round. That hasn't happened 328 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 9: since twenty seventeen. It's only happened three times in NFL 329 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 9: draft history. 330 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 14: Explain yourself, Well, I really think that the NFL is 331 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 14: a copycat league, and people will look at what happened 332 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 14: with the Las Vegas Raiders last year. 333 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: At brock Bowers. Hey, by the way, I picked that 334 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 3: last year too. 335 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 14: I told the Raiders to take brock Bowers, and you 336 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 14: guys on YouTube, this guy is an idiot. 337 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 3: Okay, how did that work out? 338 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 14: Also, like Sam Laporta has done really well with the Lions, 339 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 14: and obviously Travis Kelce what he's meant to the Kansas 340 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 14: City Chief Chiefs. It is really a point of emphasis now. 341 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 14: I think teams want to go out there and get 342 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 14: tight ends at number five. Know why people are assuming 343 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 14: that the Jags are just gonna pick Mason Graham or 344 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 14: somebody on defense? 345 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: You know what you need to help out Trevor Lawrence. 346 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: Enough is enough. 347 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 14: You cannot let Trevor Lawrence go out there with Jess 348 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 14: Brian Thomas Junior and think that's gonna be good enough. 349 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 14: Christian Kirk's no longer on that team, go out there 350 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 14: and get Tyler Warren. Let him go out there and 351 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 14: do some damage. I think that would be a huge 352 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 14: spot for him. Iink Colston Lovelin is going to be 353 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 14: a great player in this league. And last season the 354 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 14: New York. 355 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 3: Jets passed up, passed up on brock Bowers. 356 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 14: They also passed up on Brian Thomas Junior, which I 357 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 14: told him to do. But you go out there and 358 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 14: get you go out there and you get Lovelin, and 359 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 14: now you pair him with Garrett Wilson, Brece Hall. Justin 360 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 14: Fields now has a lot of options to be successful 361 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 14: for the New York Jets. 362 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 3: Let him be the quarterback of the future. 363 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 14: And obviously if you look at most people's mind I 364 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 14: didn't look at anybody's mock drafts. 365 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 3: I don't look at him. I don't want to know. 366 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: A lot of people have a tight end slated for 367 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 3: the LA Chargers. I do too. I guess gonna be 368 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: Mason Taylor. 369 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 14: Mason Taylor is actually a better fit for the Chargers 370 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 14: because he plays all three downs. 371 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 3: It's not like, Okay, he's. 372 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 14: Coming into the game, They're gonna throw the ball for sure. 373 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 14: Jim Harbaugh wants a tight end who could block. Mason 374 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 14: Taylor would be that guy. I think that's a good 375 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 14: spot for him. 376 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: We've heard over and overthrow out the pre draft process, Frank, 377 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: this is not a great wide receiver draft class. You 378 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: don't have those top ten type prospects here, but you 379 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: gave one of the Panthers at eight. Yeah. 380 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 3: I love Matthew Golden. 381 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 14: I think when you look at the wide receiver prospects 382 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 14: coming out right now, Matthew Golden is a primetime player, 383 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 14: someone that steps up into the moment makes good plays. 384 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 14: He was viewed as the number two wide receiver for 385 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 14: Texas coming into last season, but you know what, he 386 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 14: ended up being the number one guy. And when I 387 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 14: think of fit for the Carolina Panthers, when I see 388 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 14: Matthew Golden, I kind of see a lot of Chris Olave. 389 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: So I think this be a great option for them. 390 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 14: And again, you need to help out Bryce Young last 391 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 14: season excellent work going out there, getting a couple of 392 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 14: guards helping them out. I think Matthew Golden is the 393 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 14: way to go. I also think too, like don't sleep 394 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 14: on the tight end position. You have not replaced the 395 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 14: tight end since Greg Olsen left. I don't think that 396 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 14: the Bears are going to gift you Cole Comet like 397 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 14: the Bears gifted you Greg Olsen years ago. That might 398 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 14: also be an opportunity to go out and draft a 399 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 14: guy if somebody like Colson Lovelin falls to them. 400 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 9: All right, here's an evergreen question for the NFL network. 401 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 9: What should the Dallas Cowboys do? 402 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 14: You know what, if the Dallas Cowboys wanted to be fun, 403 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 14: you know what they would do. 404 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 3: They would draft Shad or Sanders. That would be amazing, 405 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: That would be the funnest thing ever. 406 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 14: But I do have them going with a running back. 407 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 14: I think Hampton makes the most sense for them. That 408 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 14: he's been in the building, and the Dallas Cowboys really 409 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 14: need some offensive playmakers. 410 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 3: I know Ted McMillan could be another great option here. 411 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 14: But I thought with Steve Smith Senior, and I'm like, 412 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 14: I don't like Ted McMillan anymore, just kidd, but I 413 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 14: really think Hampton would be a great pick. I know 414 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 14: that the people out there who disagreed with me are 415 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 14: like they got Javonte Williams, like I exactly, they got 416 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 14: Davonte Williams. 417 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 3: You need some firepower there. 418 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 14: I think the Cowboys need to be less conservative with 419 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 14: this pick. Do something crazy. They've done a really nice 420 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 14: job of drafting in the past. Go for Hampton, and 421 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 14: when he goes out there and rushes for fourteen hundred 422 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 14: yards and scores twelve touchdowns. 423 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: And you win your fantasy league, you'll thank me. 424 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: Last thing, ranking your what team should do mock draft 425 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: first twenty picks, There's only one quarterback. It's cam Ward 426 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 1: at number one. Here's the Steelers. They can pick whichever 427 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: the others they. 428 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: Want, and they choose should or Sanders. 429 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 15: I don't know. 430 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 14: I think the Steelers obviously need to draft a quarterback 431 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 14: at some point. 432 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 3: Whether you sign Aaron Rodgers or not. 433 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,719 Speaker 14: They need to go out there and get a quarterback, 434 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 14: and they need to get their quarterback of the future. 435 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 3: It's some point. 436 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 14: Shadur Sanders makes a lot of sense. Now, obviously he 437 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 14: still needs some growth. This would be a situation where 438 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 14: you want him to sit on the bench and go 439 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 14: out there and grow and eventually become the starting quarterback. 440 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 14: They did it years ago with Ben Roethlisberger when they 441 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 14: already had Tommy Maddox on the roster. They drafted Ben 442 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 14: Roethlisberger and sort of that was actually in week I 443 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 14: think it was Week nine when he eventually became the starter. 444 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 14: But Shadur Sanders makes a lot of sense for me 445 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 14: right here. Although I don't know what about Milroe? 446 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 16: What about Milroe? 447 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: Would Milrow be fun? It's got to be somebody who's 448 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 3: gonna sit. Although at the same. 449 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: Time, change your mind. 450 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 14: Maybe I don't know. I'm a listen It's like listen. 451 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 14: My whole thing is like what you should do? Things change? 452 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: You ask me right now. If you're flying into Chicago 453 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: right now, you're like, where should I go? Be like, 454 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 3: go to Portillo's. You asked me on Monday, I might 455 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 3: say Geno Zis. 456 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 11: I don't know. 457 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 14: I might change my mind. Tom I'm allowed to do 458 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 14: these things. This I'm unconventional. You know this. 459 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: When Shudur Sanders came on the show last week from 460 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Airport after his visit, he had a big 461 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: grin when talking about Mike Tomlin in that organization. You 462 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: could at least see the logic if he ends up 463 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: still on the board there at twenty at maybe NFL 464 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: This is a good sandwich NFL dot com slash rank 465 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: where you can catch the full mock drafts. Speaking of 466 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: Chedeor Sanders, take a sneak peek right now at our 467 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: new content series where Brock Perdy and Daniel Jeremiah breakdown 468 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders and other NFL prospects, all with the help 469 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: of Toyota. Be sure to check out going places presented 470 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: by Toyota on DJ's social accounts at Move the Sticks. 471 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 15: Obviously, the expectations that he's had, you know, throughout his 472 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 15: college career and then taking Colorado to new heights like that. 473 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 6: You know, that's not easy. 474 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 4: The knock is a little bit of the arm strength, 475 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 4: and then you know, holding the ball took a lot 476 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 4: of sacks. 477 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 15: With my experience of playing, like if I can show 478 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 15: my guys you know that I can get hit and 479 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 15: then keep going, that just shows a lot about you know, 480 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 15: your leadership and just being able to learn to get 481 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 15: the ball out play within the timing of the offense 482 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 15: and concepts. So I think those are things that he 483 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 15: has and will continue to. 484 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 7: Learn and development, no doubt. 485 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: Coming up later on in the show, let's talk about 486 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: some surprise first round picks that you could here called 487 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: on Thursday night.

It's Femmy Olden Dan Joe, who was 490 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: knocking around coaches at the Senior Boy, you're away sposed 491 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: to hit the guys when you're not supposed to hit 492 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: anybody really in a practice setting like that.

On that and just 532 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 16: knowing wherever you go it's a new chapter. Everything that 533 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 16: passes behind and now it's a second contract. That's the mindset. 534 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 17: We're a week away now from perhaps your life changing 535 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 17: for the better and becoming a full time NFL player. 536 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 17: But I know the pre draft process is so arduous 537 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 17: and so many of your UCLA to defensive teammates have 538 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 17: gone through this layout. To Lattu, one of your buddies 539 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 17: was the first defensive player taken last year. One of 540 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 17: your buddies from this year, Carson Swessinger, also going through 541 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 17: the process. I know you guys ran into each other 542 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 17: a couple of weeks ago at the airport. Correct, what 543 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,959 Speaker 17: a coincidence that was. But what has this process been 544 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 17: like for you now here we are a week away 545 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 17: from the draft. 546 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, in all honesty, he's been a blessing. 547 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 16: You know. I've heard from a fellow Sacramento native, Eric Armstead, 548 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 16: that is going to be a long process. 549 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 6: But just stay. 550 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 16: Grounded, take a day by day, be your feeder, and 551 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 16: don't look too far ahead, but rather just take a 552 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 16: day by day. 553 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 11: Well, you brought up Eric Armstead. 554 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 17: I want to talk about him for a little bit 555 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 17: because I was talking to one of your senior Bowl coaches, 556 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 17: kJ Wright, who is a great linebacker in the NFL 557 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 17: for a long time, and he said that your game 558 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 17: reminded him of Eric Armstead. And that's not a coincidence, right, 559 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 17: I guess not. 560 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 6: I didn't know that. You know, Eric is a big 561 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 6: man seven, but. 562 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 15: I mean. 563 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 17: Your game reminded him of him because you could line 564 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 17: up inside outside, and how you rush the passer, over 565 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 17: the center, over the guard. You can take on the 566 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 17: tackles in every different way. 567 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 18: Your versatility like that, Yeah, I think shout out to 568 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 18: all my Pop Warner coaches, middle school coaches, high school 569 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 18: coaches kind of played every position in football besides quarterback 570 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 18: and defensive back. 571 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 16: So just trying to apply it to the football field 572 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 16: and just be a versatile athlete. 573 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 11: Yeah. 574 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 17: Speaking of that versatility, we know that you transition in 575 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 17: college just last season as a matter of fact, from 576 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 17: linebacker to out on the edge rushing the passer. What's 577 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 17: been the most difficult challenge to making that position change 578 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 17: for you. 579 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 16: I want to say it's been a difficult challenge anything 580 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 16: like to like, oh this is insane, but just continuously 581 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 16: get in reps and perfecting my technique, my craft, my 582 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 16: past rush.

That's Tom. I am 697 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 2: Judy and Tom. 698 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 9: You have a story up on NFL dot com right 699 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 9: now with the players you think could sneak into the 700 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 9: first round as maybe surprise candidates, and you've got them 701 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 9: all over a bunch of positions. 702 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 2: So let's just go down the list. 703 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 9: Let's start with the quarterback you think could be a first. 704 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 1: Rounder, Tyler Schuck from Louisville. Judy is helping himself as 705 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: much as anybody through this pre draft process. Seven years 706 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: of college. He's been in college football so long. He 707 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: was backing up Justin Herbert at Oregon, had a bunch 708 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: of different injuries. Put it together last year with the Cardinals, 709 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: and as he's gotten in front of coaches what they 710 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: see as an older guy. Obviously he's more mature. He's 711 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: playing in the pro style, off had responsibility at the 712 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on his shoulders. There's a lot that's 713 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: familiar to coaches. We'll see if he pushed it all 714 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: the way up till round one, Judy, but certainly I 715 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: would not rule it out. 716 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 9: Especially with so many teams in desperate need of a quarterback. 717 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 9: All right, let's talk about the wide receiver on your. 718 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: List, Mecca Abuca from Ohio State. And yes, he has 719 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: been in the top twenty on Daniel Jeremiah's list, but 720 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: I haven't seen his name in the mock drafts on 721 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. What teams like about Abuca is, obviously 722 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: he's been highly productive. He's been durable, arguably more explosive 723 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: than Jackson Smith and Jigba his former teammate who went 724 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: high to the Seahawks a couple of years ago and 725 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: just as coming off of his first Pro Bowl. There's 726 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: a bunch of teams in between let's say twenty and 727 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: twenty five in this draft, Judy, who all need a 728 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: receiver team like Houston and maybe could use a slot. 729 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: That was one of many potential landing spots for Abuca. 730 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 9: All right, how about the linebacker. 731 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: Carson Schwsinger, another one that he played with Emioladejo was 732 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: just on the show here, came on the Insiders recently 733 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: as well, a one time walk on. Finally, guys opportunity 734 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: just last year to start. But he could play all 735 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: three downs. He can run, he can cover. We talk 736 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: about those run spots in the draft. There's a bunch 737 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: of teams toward the end of Round one who all 738 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: need an off the ball linebacker. There's going to be 739 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: fans of g Hod Campbell. He's got versatility, could be 740 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: a pass rusher. But in terms of the true off 741 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: the ball guys, Sweessinger is going to be in that mix. 742 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: All right. 743 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 9: Offensive line, we know teams always need offensive linemen. We 744 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 9: always hear coaches and evaluators say there just are not 745 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 9: enough good offensive linemen. Who do you have as an 746 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 9: offensive lineman? 747 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: Well, there's definitely not enough centers, Judy. In this draft, 748 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: some teams are going to project Gray Zabel to that position. 749 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: He could end up playing there. But if you want 750 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: the guys's actually snapped the ball before, how about Jared 751 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: Wilson from Georgia, another one year starter. He had five 752 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: hundred and eleven pass blocks last season. Acory at PFF 753 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: allowed zero sacks. He's like a lot of Georgia's centers. 754 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: He's going to be quicker than he is strong. We'll 755 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: see how oh high exactly he could go. He's mostly 756 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: projected second third round here. But again, if you have 757 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: a need at center, and when somebody's played the position, 758 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: Jared Wilson's you got. 759 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 2: And finally, defensive line. 760 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: Ty Leek Williams is the name that's come up. He's 761 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty four pounds. He's a really good 762 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: run stuffer. His pre direct process got cut short because 763 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: he pulled a hamstring when he was running the forty 764 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: yard dash at his prodet You could say, what's the 765 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty four pound man doing running the 766 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: forty at all, well, they're going to take it easy 767 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: on him for these next few weeks, ire, but it 768 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: does not sound like it's anything that's going to impact 769 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,439 Speaker 1: him as we get into training camp. He's a really 770 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: interesting prospect for multiple reasons, as he displayed earlier today 771 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,439 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. 772 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,919 Speaker 20: Kaus Havoc And I'm gonna show up every play, every game, 773 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 20: and you know you're going to have to account for 774 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 20: me at all times because that will you know, record offense, 775 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 20: you know if I'm not so really just being dominant 776 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 20: and you know, just showing up in the big games. 777 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: This is what I mean when I say that, what's 778 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: your favorite one oh them? 779 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 16: I mean that's that's the benefit of staying at one 780 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 16: school and putting it work the whole time. 781 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 21: That's don't want to open its basically, you know Texas, Oregon, 782 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 21: Tennessee and then Notre Dame and the Natty. 783 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 20: Uh. 784 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 2: Here's how big he is. 785 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 9: Those rings which look like super Bowl size rings, didn't 786 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 9: even look that outsize on his hand. 787 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 2: That's how big a guy he is. 788 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: The Only thing I can think of, Judio whenever I 789 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: see those enormous championship rings is you can stop the 790 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: TSA for those like, it's not just an automatic.

So I'm just I'm 807 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 19: just excited. I'm making media piece that it's puzzled when 808 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 19: it comes to gator Rade knowing what they represent, something 809 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 19: that I feel like massively as a person on. 810 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 3: Stay, so shudor to kind of follow up on that 811 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 3: a little bit. 812 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 6: What can you learn from losing as Gate?
