WEBVTT - 04/28/21 DPS Hour 1 Steve Palazzolo

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. Welcome to the program Our one on this Wednesday,

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the day before the Big Day, Dan and The Dane's

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Dan Patrick Show. When you look at the NFL Draft,

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the stranger things that happens every year teams

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>ignore players college success. Alabama wide receiver Davante Smith won

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the Heisman, but mock drafts have him below his teammate

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Waddle, who suffered a broken ankle justin fields led

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State to an national title game, had incredible numbers.

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>He could be the fifth quarterback taken. Teams love potential,

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>not as much as the NBA does, where it seems

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>like the less games of player plays the better. Still,

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the NFL seems fixated on players who haven't proven themselves yet,

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, limited windows of success. LSU wide

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>receiver Jamar Chase sat out all of last year, but

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>he did have one of them or productive seasons a

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.479
<v Speaker 1>year ago. That's one of the reasons why the draft

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is such a guessing game, because teams are forced to project,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they do that too much. The answers are

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>right there on the tape at least. I've always felt

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>that now you do have the interview process, you do

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>have them diagramming plays, you also have the medicals. There's

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>other things that go into it. But teams sometimes act

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>like what happened in college really didn't happen. And that's

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be the case coming up starting tomorrow night.

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.279
<v Speaker 1>up with the poll question, play of the day, stat

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Day. I have some information on Mac Jones.

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Everything that I'm told that I've been told for the

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>last four weeks is consistent with how I feel today,

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and that is the Niners want Mac Jones, that Kyle

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Shanahan wants Mac Jones. There are other people or a

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>person in the organization who is pushing for Trey Lance.

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned that Tom House, the former baseball pitcher, he

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>works with quarterbacks, including Tom Brady, and he's been working

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>with Trey Lance. They're working on his mechanics. He only

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>played one game this past season, and the Niners are

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>monitoring that. From what I'm told, Tom House did respond

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to the tweet yesterday saying, yes, that's what they are doing.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he was surprised that I knew what he

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>was doing, but he did acknowledge that they are working

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>with Trey Lance right now on his mechanics. The Niners

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>are monitoring that. Now. This is what I got this morning.

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Source says Matt Jones interviews with teams have been extremely impressive,

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>very smart on the board and with a playbook. The

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>other quarterbacks aren't even close. The quarterback he mostly he

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>most closely compares to is Matt Ryan. Kyle Shanahan had

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan in Atlanta. Now. The other quarterback that's been

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>mentioned is Kirk Cousins, who Kyle Shanahan has a relationship

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>with as well, but more of a Matt Ryan than

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a Kirk Cousins. From what I'm told, I don't know

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>what any of this means. All it takes is one pick,

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody doing something and it throws the draft into disarray.

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>It happens, It's happened the last couple of drafts, and

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>usually at the top we get the first two picks,

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe even the third pick. The fourth pick is where

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>it gets squirly, and you can go back to who

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is it? Cleland Farrell, McLevin. Yeah, Mike Mayock shocked everyone

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and took him with the Raiders. Then in Oakland at

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>number four, and everyone he was like fifteen in mocks.

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>And who was the tackle? Thomas? Andrew Thomas out of Georgia,

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>which was not as huge as Shock, but I think

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the other tackles were higher than him in mock drafts.

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And then the Giants took him in I think he's okay.

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's all it takes is one team. That's why

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>when you do a mock draft and you're going, oh,

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>this makes sense. Well, nobody had Mitchell Trubisky going to

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the Bears. I said, Paulie, go back and look at

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>mock drafts. Did anybody have an inkling that the Bears

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>were going to trade up? And if they did, would

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.479
<v Speaker 1>they take Mitchell Trubisky? You can find very few mock

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>drafts that have mister Trubisky as a top ten draft

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>pick going into the twenty seventeen draft, even mock drafts

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>three or four days before. It was Miles Garrett, then Trubisky,

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>which was a trade up, and then it goes Solomon Thomas,

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournette, Corey Davis. But Mahomes, there's there's mock drafts

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that have him in the twenties two weeks before the

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>draft and he went number ten, And you'll you'll hear

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.799
<v Speaker 1>this and you'll probably hear it from me, if not today,

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 1>then maybe tomorrow on the show. And it feels like

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>every year I get information on somebody moving up. Patrick

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes was the player moving up a couple of years

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>ago that I told you about Baker Mayfield. I told

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you that he was going to be the number one

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 1>pick in the draft. That shocked just about everybody because

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>they're thinking, the Browns, do you take him or do

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you take a safer pick. I was told that they

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>loved Josh Allen, but when I announced that I had

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the information the Browns were taking Baker Mayfield, people were like, no,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>there's no way that they're going to take Baker Mayfield.

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't make any sense, but that's the draft, the

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 1>in exact science, and certainly at the quarterbacking position, and

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>that's why you have so much information being dispensed on quarterbacks,

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>because that's where if you're going to win, you've got

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that you have a quarterback who's not

0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>going to bankrupt you with your salary cap. You know

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it's rare if you're winning a super Bowl and you've

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>got a quarterback who's making a lot of money. And

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>just go down through history, the recent history of what

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>these teams are doing and how they're doing it, and

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 1>can you spend, how much do you spend and at

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>what point do you say he's not worth spending that money.

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's reload and get another quarterback, because we're seeing so

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>many of these quarterbacks come into the league, like Trey

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Lance didn't play against anybody, and he only played one game.

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Zach Wilson didn't even know if he was going to

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>be the starter. This year, he's number two. Trey Lance

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to be probably a top ten draft pick.

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>That's how crazy it is when you're assessing that position,

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and it never used to be that way. You had

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.239
<v Speaker 1>to have a resume. If you were going to be taken,

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>it's rare. Go back in history and go how many

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>what's the fewest starts that a quarterback ever had? Who

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was taken in the top ten? Achille Smith maybe at Oregon,

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Mark Sanchez at USC You didn't want to run the

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>risk of taking a quarterback that you didn't know everything about,

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>or you saw them in a variety of situations. I

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>want to see when you fail. I want to see

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>when you get hit. I want to see when you

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>get up after an interception. That's what I want to see.

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to see Mac Jones in a situation like that.

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to see Trevor Lawrence in a situation like that.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I've seen justin Fields play two terrible games. I've seen

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>him get hit where I didn't think he would stay

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>in a game against Clemson, Trey Lance I saw him play,

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>looked wonderful. Jimmy Garoppolo looked wonderful in college too. Who

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>are you playing against? Who's your next opponent after a

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>tough opponent? Those are the things that I want to know.

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And how smart are you? Like do you pick it

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>up in a span of ten to fifteen seconds? Can

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you process that information. Zach Wilson's had a couple of

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>surgeries on his shoulders, Like, okay, that would be a

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>red flag. It's not a red flag. You know that.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes will say, well, hey, mac Jones had all this talent,

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>of course he's going to be good, but he did

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.199
<v Speaker 1>play against the sec competition. Trey Lance didn't have great competition.

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Well we're going to hold that against him. Well, I

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>got to hold it against mac Jones too. That this

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to be back to back years. This has

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 1>never happened before, back to back years, two receivers, same school,

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>top fifteen picks. Crazy, He and Tua are going to

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>be top five picks because of that. I don't know

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>how good Tua is. Do I have concerns about it? Yes?

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Do I think the Dolphins were actually trying to trade

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Ta to Seattle for Russell Wilson? My sore said, yes,

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>they did offer a proposed trade. It's now come out

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that the Dolphins were trying to trade for de Shaun

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Watson before his legal issues, and they were trading to

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a Tonga Violoh. I don't know how good he is.

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Liked him stepped up, played big, big moments there don't

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>know if he has a strong enough arm. Don't know

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>if he has you know, the athleticism. But this is

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>what happens. It doesn't take long before you start to

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 1>second guess, and certainly at that position in the NFL.

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 1>So all bets are off when it comes to who's

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>going where and why, because it's in the eye of

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the beholder. If Kyle Shanahan firmly believes Mac Jones is

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>his guy because he can program Mac Jones, it's hard

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to program Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, they're just different. Baker Mayfield,

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to program. Yeah, Paul, I went back and

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>looked at the one week before the twenty eighteen draft.

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I just collected ten mock drafts. I'm pretty high end

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>people like not just Joe Blow. Six people had the

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Browns taken, Josh Allen, two people had the Cleveland

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Browns taken Sam Darnold. Two people had Baker Mayfield, and

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the two had Baker Mayfield said they were totally speculating

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>based on the star power of Mayfield in that town

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and they needed star power. But they said it's a

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>very risky decision. Yeah, people, more people had Baker Mayfield

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>going to the Jets than the Browns. But all it

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>takes is somebody to fall in love with somebody, and

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what happened to the Bears with Mitchell Trubisky. Nobody

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>else fell in love with Mitchell Trubisky. Daniel Jones to

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the Giants where he went in the draft? What was

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that sixth? Overall? Yep, nobody else was in love with

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jones, and if they were, maybe it was gonna

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:06.359
<v Speaker 1>be later in the first round. The Giants had picked seventeen.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought they could get Daniel Jones at seventeen. Ye,

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>but can you see where Kyle Sayhanan's like, yeah, but

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you never know if that team is out there where

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>if you really like a guy like the Giants, you

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>never know. Maybe there was somebody, But I don't know.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>If mac Jones doesn't go three, where's he go? I

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know who's infatuated with mac Jones? Do I think

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>there are teams who would if you said to the

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Steelers and there are twenty four and mac Jones is there,

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and they go and we never thought this was going

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to happen. Let's take him as our future quarterback, you know,

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>just Bill Belichick at fifteen. Hey, we didn't think he

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>was going to be here. Let's take him. You got

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to take the best players on your board, and you can't,

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, overreach, because that's what happens. That's where you

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>look at a team and you go why, and you're

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna have those moments tomorrow night. You're gonna go wow, okay,

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And then you have somebody like Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>been talking about Kyle Pitts. They have the tenth pick

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in the draft. I'm guessing Kyle Pitts won't be there

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>at number ten. I'm guessing Dallas is not moving up

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to get Kyle Pitts. But Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and GM was talking about you gotta be smart with

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the team, team needs here. I think the real thing

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to do is don't be stupid over your needs. And

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>last year we said Lamb was there and we had

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>planned to take a receiver, but he was the best player,

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.959
<v Speaker 1>and he was a player that we immediately had a

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 1>vision for I could come in here and help us,

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>help us win. Okay, So you don't want to be

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 1>put over your needs. But this is an owner who

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>took Quincy Carter probably three rounds before Quincy Carter deserved

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to be drafted. He had to be talked out of

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Manzel. He didn't get Remember Paxton Lynch, he was

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in love with Paxton Lynch. How would that have worked out?

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.439
<v Speaker 1>So Jerry the owner, Jerry the GM, there's always a

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>disconnect there. Now, Jerry was asked about Kyle Pitts and

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>how much he loves Kyle Pitts. Well, reports come out

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>said you're infatuated with a guy like Pitts. Is that

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>legitimate or do you just like le College? Not legitimate?

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>But when I say it, I am anybody in this

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>draft impressed. Probably an exaggeration is fascinated. I may have

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>used the word myself. But the point is it's it's

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a distortion for this draft and where we are there.

0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>It implies something that's just not the case. We're not

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>going to go in there and spend an ordinant imagine

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to maneuver up there so that we can get pitt Okay,

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's true, but Jerry is infatuated with Kyle Pitts.

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Here is Jerry Jones talking about two Kyle Pitts on

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a zoom call boy. I'll tell you what, I'm excited

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to have you come into this league, and man, of

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 1>what a pair up we could do with, oh, Dak Prescott,

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 1>some of those guys that we've got out there of

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>options to get to the ball. So we can dream

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of visions of sugar plums around here. But you're not

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>infatuated with him, right The Cowboys posted this. This is

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>on their Twitter. We can only dream of sugar plums. Huh,

0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 1>But you're not in fat. He's mentioned Kyle Pitts probably

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>ten or fifteen times here in the last couple of weeks. Yeah,

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Mi club. By the way, if Justin Fields falls at ten,

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>they're probably gonna have to walk Jerry out of the room.

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>He just gave a two hundred and forty million dollars contract.

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>But you know it, you know, the thoughts got crosses

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>my way. The sacabest quarterbacks here at Ted, I mean,

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Ceedee Lamb made no sense and they did it and

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>already had like two great receivers. Mel Kiper Draft expert

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>will join us. Coming up in an hour, Pro Football

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Focus senior analyst Steve Pavelzolo will join us. He's got

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>some thoughts here on what the Niners do with three.

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Is Julio Jones in play to be traded. The Bengals

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>got a real decision to make, do you take the

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>tight end, the wide receiver or the tackle. Will also

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>look at those who do well during the drafts and

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>those who don't in the last ten years. And that's

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>why when I when I hear people say, boy, they

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of draft picks, my first question is

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>are they any good at drafting? Because you can have

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot and not do anything with it, as the

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals have proven, and then you

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>can have the Ravens who may only have two or

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>three picks and they somehow find somebody. The forty nine

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 1>ers have done really well except for Solomon Thomas, and

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the last time they were in a position like

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>this with a very very high draft pick, and they

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>whiffed on him. But you get Fred Warner, you get

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 1>George Kittle third fourth rounds. That's impressive. Yeah, McLevin. I

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>think Rahim most was undrafted like they really, You're right there.

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I looked at their list. It's a hit, hit hit,

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 1>except for Solomon Thomas. Your guy, what kind of poll

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>question do you got today? Well, do you want to

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>drive in. Well, first, all right, I'm gonna put up

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna win the bet, Seaton or I okay, recap

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the bet. So where will Justin Fields go in the draft?

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I say eight or higher? Seaton says nine or below.

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>So are over under on Justin Fields? Who's eight and

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>a half? Right, which is along right along with that

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Vegas right? Okay, yeah, vandalize eight and a half. DraftKings

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 1>has seven and a half, which makes me feel very happy,

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 1>by the way, but I don't those are moving around.

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>So for each pick that we're off, we get a pie.

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>So if he goes fifteen to the Patriots, that means

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 1>six or seven pies for me, And if he goes

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>three to the nine Ers, that's five pies for Seaton. Okay,

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 1>what if he goes thirty two to Tampa Bay. That's

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of pies. Now if that were the case,

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.679
<v Speaker 1>because I don't have enough people to throw pies at you,

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:36.679
<v Speaker 1>everybody in the building should be able to throw a

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>pie at you. There's a firehouse next door. I'm thinking

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of getting some firefighters to come in and they're able

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to throw pies at you as well. Yes, poll or

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the firefighters could hose him off after all the pies

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>just a thought, so they could take the hose from

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the fire truck and hose him off like a rinse

0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 1>off mclovin. Is that safe? I don't. Oh, we'll find

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you out. Probably not. Yeah, you put out huge fires,

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's not bad enough that I get twenty four

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>pies to the face and then I have to get

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 1>tortured by a How about we cut the pies in

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>half if you take the hose, yes, Todd, that water pressure,

0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 1>unless you're a safe distance away, that could probably break

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 1>some bones. Thank you. That is not meant to it, Organs,

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Yes for love. Yeah, I'm out on the hose,

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but I'm excited about I watched the ESPN NFL Nation

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Draft and Fields fell to fifteen, and I felt, even

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in a mock draft, I felt pain every pick. I

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.639
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, oh, this is gonna be so great.

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I love when we have these draft day bets because

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>it makes that first round so much more interesting. Yeah, seedon, No, No,

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 1>it's the best when you're like, because he's like watching

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 1>your team, You're all right, let's just see what they do.

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know whatever. But then all of a sudden

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 1>you got something on the line. Yeah great, Yeah, you

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>know when they go best candidates available, and it'd be

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>like Justin Fields is there, and then you're going and

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 1>the Carolina Panthers are on the clock. You know, they

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>could go Justin Fields here and all of a sudden

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 1>they take you know, and it's not Justin Fields. Yeah pulling.

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I love is that at seven

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.680
<v Speaker 1>oh one tomorrow morning, one of our back room guys

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>is gonna walk into the local baker and go twenty

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:23.400
<v Speaker 1>four chocolate cream pies. Please no Friday, right, not tomorrow.

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>But I love that. I love the visual one of

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.199
<v Speaker 1>our guys going, can I get twenty four? Chu? I'm

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna send Tyler out and he's gonna have to get

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>all of these paues. What guy folid at thirty two?

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Stop this lutacy. Chris Simms just threw that out there

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 1>just yes time. Michael even also had some concerns the

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 1>other day. Better is it going to be all at

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>once or scattered? If it ends up being a lot

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.320
<v Speaker 1>of pies. I think the reasonable thing is to do

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 1>it all at once so you doesn't have to keep

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>One of the best bets I ever had was with Seton,

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and I said, you got to take five paes, but

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 1>not all at once, and it could be any time.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Just Seton would come out of the bathroom and I'd

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.200
<v Speaker 1>smashing with a pie. That was the best one ever.

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>That was that was absolutely the best, the best of

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 1>one because you just you had no idea when it

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>was going to happen, and over the course of a

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks and just randomly get smashed in the

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 1>face with a pie. And we were at the Super

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Bowl in San Francisco and JJ Watt. I lured Seaton

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>outside and he walked out and JJ Watt had a

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 1>pie and smashed him with it. Jim Harball got you

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 1>with a pie as well. We figured out I got

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 1>hit with cupcakes too. At some point, like I had,

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I walked out of that back room to go say

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>hi to people. All of a sudden I got, you know,

0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>seven dozen cupcakes hurled at me. I closed the door

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 1>behind him. The Seaton's out in the prison yard and

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 1>they're firing cupcakes and he's like banging on the door

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to get back in. They're just smashing him with cupcakes.

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes time, and what wasn't exactly gentle I think Seaton

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:47.200
<v Speaker 1>for a while he had like a ringing in his ear.

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>He smacked him in the side of the head man.

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>He got me good for sure. All right, we'll take

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a break, we'll talk the draft. The phone calls are welcome.

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll get we'll settle on a poll question. Here. Got

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.200

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>some mocks. As a first round pick, I'm being told

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that he will probably not be a first round pick.

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 1>He's had a couple of back procedures. This is the

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Tech cornerback who sat out last year. Now comes

0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 1>word from Adam Schefter, tested posited for COVID today, will

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>not attend the draft in Cleveland. That's been a tough

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 1>road for him with a couple of back procedures, and

0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>I think was projected to be maybe a top fifteen pick,

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:18.400

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:41.680
<v Speaker 1>going to happen at number three? Overall? You locked in?

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've been believing it's justin Fields despite all

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of the smoke. I'm getting talked you out of that by,

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, the more people I speak to. But you know,

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was Fields for a while because I

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 1>just thought he was the best combination of passing and

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 1>running and what Kyle Shanahan might want to do. I

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>am starting to believe the Mac Jones hype and that

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lance might be number two. So I'm believing in

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's probably Mac Jones. But deep down, I'm

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>believing that Kyle Shanahan made the decision that it's Justin

0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Fields because I think that's the best selection for the

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers. But Justin Fields isn't his kind of quarterback.

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 1>That's my only thought on that. Do I think Justin

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Fields is as talented, if not more so? Yes? But

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 1>does he fit what Kyle Shanahan wants in a quarterback

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and considering who he's had, you know, the comp that

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.959
<v Speaker 1>I got this morning from his source was he's like

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan. Yeah. I mean so when I look at

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>when I look at Shanahan historically, right, he has done

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>an incredible job of elevating quarterbacks. I think we all

0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:45.199
<v Speaker 1>agree on that. Matt Shop and you know, but the

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>two times that he had kind of a trump card

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 1>was twenty twelve with RG three, where they had a

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>rushing attack in the play action game you know, was

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 1>multiplied by ten. And then Matt Ryan was the MVP

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 1>season in twenty and sixteen. So I'm thinking, Okay, he's

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna chase one of those two things. So you have

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>two quarterbacks who can run. They can add that run

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>game components, you know, change the arithmetic at the line

0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.239
<v Speaker 1>of scrimmage. That's what the Shanahan's do. The Shanahan's will

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.119
<v Speaker 1>put on the earth to make defenses, you know, not

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to defend the run. And a running quarterback

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 1>does that. So I'm thinking, Okay, that's justin Fields or

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it's Trey Lance. And then Fields is a little bit

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>slow at times he holds the ball, but three seconds

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.680
<v Speaker 1>per dropback, that's that's not fast enough. He's got to

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>work a little bit quicker. But the Shanahan offense makes

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that easier. And when Fields throws the ball, he's as

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.480
<v Speaker 1>accurate as any quarterback in the league. So that's why

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was the best combination of accuracy but

0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 1>also that run game component that Fields brings. The Falcons

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>are interesting here because I don't know if they know

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:41.439
<v Speaker 1>who they are right now? Are they Are they a

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>playoff caliber team? Do you add Kyle Pitts, do you

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>trade Julio Jones, do you draft Matt Ryan's successor where

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 1>do you think they go? I think the way they

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 1>structured Matt Ryan's contract, they're pretty much tied to him

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 1>for two more years, which means, okay, they got to

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>make a run. How do you build around Matt Ryan?

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's just an odd draft because there

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.160
<v Speaker 1>might not be a defensive player off the board till

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 1>nine or ten. I mean, that hasn't happened since nineteen

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:07.200
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine when it was seventh overall. So the Falcons

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>would love to go defense. I think they'd love to

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.159
<v Speaker 1>trade down and accumulate draft capital because their defense is

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:15.359
<v Speaker 1>just depleted. But Kyle Pitts is really intriguing there, especially

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 1>if Julio's there or not. There's only three teams in

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the league who have a Kyle Pitts like a player.

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 1>It's Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, and maybe Darren Waller with

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders. So you put Kyle Pitts on the field

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>with Julio, with Calvin Ridley, even if Julio ends up

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:32.399
<v Speaker 1>getting traded. Kyle Pitts is an absolute game changer and

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>that's going to make the next two years of Matt

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Ryan in Atlanta look a lot easier. But if I'm Atlanta,

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm exploring trading Julio Jones to get a defensive player

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>from somebody in return. I want an impact defensive player

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 1>for Julio Jones. If I can get that at age

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty two. That way, I can take Kyle Pitts, and

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I've strengthened my team. I've got Pits on

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a rookie contract and he's going to be a game changer.

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:01.159
<v Speaker 1>I lose a game changer, but now I get somebody

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to help us defensively, because if you draft Kyle Pitts

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and keep Julio Jones, this just means you lose forty

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 1>two to thirty five. Yeah, I mean there's Look, they're

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>so depleted defensively. They drafted aj Terrell, a cornerback in

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the first round. They still probably need two more corners.

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>The Bucks just resigned Antonio Brown. You're not keeping up

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>with the Bucks with only one half decent cornerback. So yeah,

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I agree, the entire back seven does need to be

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 1>overhauled in Atlanta. So exploring the Julio trade, which would

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>be a post June first trade, I mean, it's a

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 1>smart move. It's got to be at the right value though,

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 1>because there's also an element of it's an offensive league

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 1>and the way you win in the NFL, we saw this.

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this with the Chiefs, the Bucks, the Bills.

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 1>It's how do you defend this offense? You keep defensive

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>coordinators up at night? How do you defend this? And

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm really intrigued by how do you defend Julio, Calvin Ridley,

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and Kyle Pitts all at the same time. Best rosters

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 1>heading into the draft. Give me the top two or three? Yeah,

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think you look at the entire final

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 1>four last year. Of course, the Bucks and the Chiefs

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:01.840
<v Speaker 1>are both in there. The Bucks are I mean, they

0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>brought everybody back. It has to be them. The Chiefs

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>are up there, The Bills and the Packers are all

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 1>up there. But we just did a ranking over at

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.400
<v Speaker 1>pf dot com a couple weeks ago. In the Cleveland

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Browns were a number two. And this is the drafts

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in Cleveland. They're picking late in the first round. And

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>then there's talent. This is strictly talent on the roster,

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the Browns of the second most talented team in the NFL. Yeah,

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 1>when you look up and down as far as there's

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 1>no real glaring holes, and where there is a hole,

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:29.640
<v Speaker 1>it might be linebacker, which you know it's it's less

0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 1>important in today's NFL unless you have a great one.

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's it's just a tough position to play.

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.200
<v Speaker 1>So the Browns have incredible depth. They have a good

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in Baker Mayfield, so they actually go into the

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>draft without any glaring needs and then they could, you know,

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 1>pick the best players for their roster. Where do you

0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:49.719
<v Speaker 1>have Justin Fields going? I mean again, deep down, I

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>was thinking, Okay, the Niners don't. They're not really putting

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff out. Maybe they love Justin Fields. They

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>want to just make sure the Jets don't take him

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 1>if he doesn't go to the Niners at three, which

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 1>has been my inkling. I think Denver's in play at nine.

0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I think Detroit is a wild card at seven because

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>they're just in the middle of a rebuild. It's a

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>six year contract for Dan Campbell and the new regime there.

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>They don't have to force a quarterback. But man, if

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields is there, you say, okay, Justin Fields, you're

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 1>coming in. You're sitting behind Jared Goff. You're gonna be

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 1>our guy going forward. I think the Lions at seven,

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos at nine, and then the Patriots of course,

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 1>at fifteen. It's just been a different offseason for the Patriots,

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.360
<v Speaker 1>right the most aggressive off season in New England Patriots history.

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>They could put the cherry on top by trading up

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>to go get at Justin Fields and have him be

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the successor to Cam Newton. Steve Poundezolo is the senior

0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>analyst a Pro Football Focus, host of the PFF NFL podcast.

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>First running back off the board is who and goes where?

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking Naja Harris from Alabama. I'm looking at Miami

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>at eighteen, and then Pittsburgh it's twenty four. I definitely

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>think Pittsburgh's in the market there for Naj. I think, yeah,

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a big believer in running backs going in

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the first round. The only team I think could teams

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 1>can handle it might be the Bills or the Bucks

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>because their roster strength is so good. But I think

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Miami and Pittsburgh might be in play there for Naj.

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>If Christian McCaffrey was coming out in this draft, where

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>would he go? He would He'd probably be the top

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 1>running back on the board. He still might go top fifteen. Again,

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, all of our data and analysis says, look,

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the running back is by far just the cherry on

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the top of a perfect roster, and it's not the

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>guy that you want to feature in the first round.

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>And even if you don't have a ton of needs

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:28.840
<v Speaker 1>like some of these other teams we're talking about, needs

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 1>change daily. Look at the Chiefs last year, right, they

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>grabbed the running back. Now they need two tackles, you know,

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 1>coming into this offseason. So McCaffrey would probably be the

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.280
<v Speaker 1>top running back off the board. He'd still probably go

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>top fifteen. But I think the league is getting a

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit smarter and saying, look, the running back is

0:30:42.240 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the most interchangeable position in the NFL, even with the

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>great Christian McCaffrey. So I think they're starting to slide

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more than they have in recent years.

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Does the data show that you shouldn't resign a running back? Yeah? Absolutely.

0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean part of it's the interchangeability. The other part

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is it's not tough to identify differences in talents. You know,

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Christian McCaffrey's awesome, Zeke Elliot's awesome, those guys are great,

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:09.920
<v Speaker 1>But the difference in talent level doesn't show up in

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 1>production on the field. So essentially, you know, rushing production

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the number one driver is run blocking or what the

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>defense is doing, or simply I mentioned what Shanahan does, right,

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 1>He just counts the box, right, says, look, there's seven

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 1>guys in the box. I got eight blockers. We're winning,

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. So that's the biggest issue. And trying to

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 1>resign a running back and paying him a big deal

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>almost never pays off. We'll see if Derek Henry, Dalvin Cook,

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're trying to buck that trend. It's just

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>not a good track record. If I gave you all

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the players in the first round, and I got all

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the other rounds, and we totaled up the number of

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl appearances, would you stay with the first round

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>talent or would you take everybody else in the draft

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and this particular draft or in general, this this particular draft. Yeah,

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I'd take the first rounders. I think there's

0:31:57.560 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a little bit more certainty in the first round.

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Even historically, you get that the NFL's not bad at drafting.

0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>They're pretty good at picking the best players. It is interesting, though,

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>if you if you go back three or four years

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and you say, okay, who are the best thirty two

0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 1>players in a given draft, you will have some late

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:14.200
<v Speaker 1>rounders and some undrafted free agents and all that, but

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, you do generally get your best

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>players in the first round. So I'll take Round one.

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Least talented team in the NFL is who. So the

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Lions and Texans are both in the mix. The Lions

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 1>have just, you know, gutted the entire roster. The Texans

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 1>have been gutting their roster unintentionally the last couple of years,

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:33.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to build around to Shaun Watson making some mistakes.

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 1>And as of right now, the Jaguars, you know, before

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 1>they draft Trevor Lawrence, have some work to do. But

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I look at the Lions probably as that team that

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 1>is just in full rebuild mode and they have needs

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. So I'd say the Lions give

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>me a draft prediction that on Friday, I give you

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 1>credit for I call you or I make fun of you,

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 1>but give me a draft prediction, not an obvious one

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:02.959
<v Speaker 1>that this audience will take into the draft. All right,

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:05.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna well, first to be justin fields to

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the night. Okay, fields, to stay with it. Stay with it, Steve,

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 1>don't waiver often just because you have experts who were

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:16.160
<v Speaker 1>saying this, or scouts or insiders, whatever, stay with it

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're committed what you've been trying to get into.

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been trying to get into College Hannahan's head this

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>entire time, and I still think his head would move

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 1>towards Justin Fields being the guy. But I'll say Justin Fields.

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll also say, maybe there's less quarterback movement than we think.

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 1>You've got those three locked in, or there'll be three

0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks at the top. If Fields is the third quarterback

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>as I predicted, I don't know if there's as much

0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:38.720
<v Speaker 1>of a market for a mac Jones or even a

0:33:38.760 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Trey Lance as far as trade ups go. You might

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 1>see those guys drop a little bit if it is

0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 1>mac Jones at three. I do think Justin Fields becomes coveted, though,

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and there'll be some movement in the top ten. Good

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you is always Steve. Have fun tomorrow night.

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you sounds great, Thanks Dan, Steve Poundlozolo. You know,

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>once we started pronouncing his name correctly, it was a

0:33:55.680 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 1>lot easier to book him, you know, because I said

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to Tod, do you know how to pronounce his name?

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 1>And I guess usually like when we get their names. Yeah,

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:05.720

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.840

0:36:00.120 --> 0:36:04.280
<v Speaker 1>poll result. Okay, who will win the draft bet? Seaton?

0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I have a draft bet where Justin Fields will go.

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm refreshing here. I say eight or lower. Seaton says

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 1>eight or higher. Care to guess where people are voting, mclovin.

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that has more to do with Justin Fields

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 1>than mclovin. Well, speaking of which, this is a tweet

0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that was sent out Kevin Fishbane on the Patriots. Word

0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:34.600
<v Speaker 1>is there. They think highly of Ohio States, justin Fields,

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:38.720
<v Speaker 1>highly enough that they've even spoken with the Falcons about

0:36:38.760 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the fourth pick. Overall, I don't know if anybody truly

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:49.239
<v Speaker 1>knows what the Patriots are doing now. If the Falcons

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:53.040
<v Speaker 1>are leaking this to draw interest from maybe another team,

0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that's how this usually works. Yes, Polly, as soon as

0:36:56.520 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you said it all we all ye that none of

0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:00.360
<v Speaker 1>us are buying it. None of us are buying a

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.600
<v Speaker 1>piece of information about what the Patriots are doing got

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 1>into a reporter's hands unless the Falcons leaked it, or

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots purposely leaked it to throw everybody off and

0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 1>they could take the A M quarterback at the spot

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:15.640
<v Speaker 1>they're at. Kellen mummed, Yeah, yeah. See. I feel like

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 1>every day or two, like before every draft, the day

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.239
<v Speaker 1>or two leading up, there's a rumor about, oh man,

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots might jump up early to get this guy,

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and then it's all nonsense. Yes, they're gonna trade out

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 1>of the first three rounds somehow and get fifty seven

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:31.920
<v Speaker 1>draft picks. Yeah. I love your theory. The Atlanta at

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:33.840
<v Speaker 1>leaked this, of course they leaked the Yeah, yeah, the

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Patriots offered five first rounders to the number four, Like,

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't they do that? So how do you trust

0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 1>anything right now? You don't. And that's why when I

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:44.840
<v Speaker 1>hear this, even if I respect you in what you do,

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm skeptical about it. And people may be skeptical

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 1>with the information that I present on this show. I

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 1>mean that's fine, but you know, my takes are usually

0:37:55.719 --> 0:38:01.440
<v Speaker 1>are pretty good. They they they they stay. But you

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:04.760
<v Speaker 1>start to wonder if somebody knows something. Somebody knows somebody

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:07.399
<v Speaker 1>who knows somebody, somebody's trying to tell somebody something. Hey,

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.720
<v Speaker 1>can you put this out there? This is what happens.

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:14.759
<v Speaker 1>You get manipulated. Now do I think that the Falcons

0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>are putting this out now? I'm just guessing. I don't

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:19.919
<v Speaker 1>know this for so I'm you know, I'm not being

0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:23.520
<v Speaker 1>fair to the Falcons, but you know, being the being

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:26.799
<v Speaker 1>skeptical at this time of the draft leading up to

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it tomorrow, Yes, I would go, oh, wait a minute,

0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:31.839
<v Speaker 1>how does this come out? Because Patriots don't do this,

0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons can say, hey, you know I'm getting some

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.320
<v Speaker 1>phone calls for the fourth pick. Overall. If the Falcons

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know what they're doing, and you think you have

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to go to four to get Justin Fields, Okay, I

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:49.000
<v Speaker 1>get it. I mean it's it's not far fetched. But Atlanta,

0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it feels like would be leaking this to try to

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:55.600
<v Speaker 1>see if anybody else feels like, oh, New England could

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:58.480
<v Speaker 1>go get him, maybe we need to go get him. Yeah,

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>po I was looking back at the Mahome trade with

0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:02.839
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs to see I could find nothing. I looked

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 1>for about an hour to see if there's anyone who

0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 1>had a rumor and an inkling that the Chiefs were

0:39:06.920 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 1>trading up for a quarterback. There's nothing. They were totally

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 1>satisfied with the quarterback position. They were set at. The

0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback position is what Andy Reid was staying before the draft.

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:17.400
<v Speaker 1>But that night they had a plan in place to

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:20.719
<v Speaker 1>jump up again Mahomes and they were quiet about it.

0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>And after the draft there's articles where or Andy Reid's

0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:26.440
<v Speaker 1>people said, we never said a word about any thoughts

0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>about it because it didn't help us. So the quieter

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:30.840
<v Speaker 1>teams are probably the ones you gotta watch out for

0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and go back to Jacksonville taking Blake Bortles. They didn't

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 1>even interview Blake Bortles. They purposely didn't even bring him in.

0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And look, he had a little bit of success early

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>in his career and then became a career back up.

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 1>But that's what happens. It's really rare when a team goes, hey,

0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you want to know what we're doing. We're doing this.

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Nobody tells you anything. We speculate. These mock drafts come

0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:58.919
<v Speaker 1>out a year in advance, and we don't have much

0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:01.680
<v Speaker 1>information other than and you go, well, the Steelers need

0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:05.040
<v Speaker 1>a running back. Of course they'll take Naja Harris. Well,

0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:08.040
<v Speaker 1>they have other needs. They got a quarterback on his

0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 1>last year, they could use offensive line help. Like we go, yeah,

0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 1>they'll take a running back. Okay, do you take a

0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:17.920
<v Speaker 1>running back in the first round. I wouldn't, but we

0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 1>think we know and you know, we may have a

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>better idea than the teams do because they'll make a

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 1>decision and you go, why did you take Cleveland Farrell?

0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 1>What grade are you using there? Raiders, So we don't know.

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to the last ten drafts, Chiefs, Ravens,

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Vikings each selected an NFL high thirteen players who would

0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:45.719
<v Speaker 1>go on to make at least one Pro Bowl. The

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Bengals drafted just three such players in the last decade.

0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs at thirteen, Ravens, thirteen Vikings, thirteen Packers, twelve Cowboys

0:40:56.440 --> 0:41:01.360
<v Speaker 1>eleven fewest Pro Bowl players selected in the last ten drafts,

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals at three Giants, four Jets, four Patriots, four.

0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Stat of the day, stat of the day, that beast

0:41:12.040 --> 0:41:16.400
<v Speaker 1>out of the day, stat of the day? Here comes that,

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:21.399
<v Speaker 1>what stat of the day. You can have a lot

0:41:21.440 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of draft picks. What do you do with those draft picks.

0:41:25.680 --> 0:41:27.880
<v Speaker 1>We didn't think it was going to happen anytime soon,

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:31.240
<v Speaker 1>but it looks like it could happen a lot sooner

0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 1>than people thought. Andy Staples just sent out a tweet.

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Stuart Mandel as well. FBS commissioners are considering expanding the

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:47.800
<v Speaker 1>college football Playoff from four schools to up to double

0:41:47.880 --> 0:41:54.400
<v Speaker 1>digit teams, a source telling Stuart Mandel, I sense twelve

0:41:54.560 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 1>teams is building support. Yesterday, Mark Emritt had his contract extended.

0:42:01.600 --> 0:42:06.200
<v Speaker 1>He is the president of the NCAA. It was kind

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 1>of a quiet footnote at the end of a press

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:13.080
<v Speaker 1>release than Mark emertt the head of the NCAA is

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:16.799
<v Speaker 1>staying in place and its status quo. But if you

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.959
<v Speaker 1>look at the amount of revenue that was lost during

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic, you go up to twelve teams now, and

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:28.640
<v Speaker 1>those twelve teams in those conferences, those conferences share in

0:42:28.680 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the money that they make new TV deals. Now, all

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:36.200
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, that playoff system the number of games

0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:38.799
<v Speaker 1>that you have there. Now, all of a sudden, you

0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:44.239
<v Speaker 1>have more bowl games that are actually meaningful because you

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 1>might be playing in the Outback Bowl to get into

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.399
<v Speaker 1>the Orange Bowl and then get to the Rose Bowl.

0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:51.640
<v Speaker 1>So the Outback might be the first round of the playoffs.

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 1>So I disagree with Nick Saban who yesterday told Paul

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Feinbaum he's not in favor of this because it renders

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the bowl games. You know, less, that's not the case.
