00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: We just went through the field, Yates, top fifty, top fifty.

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: We're gonna give ourselves since we did on Monday and

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: we didn't make any trades today, We're gonna give ourselves

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: a trade.

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 2: All right, we can make me account a trade. Okay.

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: I don't think we're moving up now. It's also really

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: hard with this programs and stuff too.

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: We could go slower, but yeah, then it would take

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: forever for us to get time.

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm really open to moving down two three, four spots. Yeah.

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Well, we just went through and we'll be saying there

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: was maybe twenty five twenty five McCarthy, who's going to

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: be gone, Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Okay, So I'm

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: going to restart this because.

21
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: I say, if it's pro football focus, I was fiddling

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: with it today once in a while. Daniels is there

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: and I just said, I'm restarting this because that's that's

24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: insane to me. Not gonna happen, right, and I want

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: him to be one of the nineteen. To make it

26
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: a little more.

27
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Good, We're gonna go to Pro Football Networks, all right,

28
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,640

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: I wish I had a better feel for which tackles

39
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: were available.

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I can do this counter and then close

41
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: it and then okay, So the picks ahead of us

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,960

46
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: That's all the tackles went, Lay two and Quinny and Mitchell.

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot more tackles went than I would have presumed.

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: But I don't have a problem with Fatano.

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: No, I don't either. But it might be the last

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: of the breed, though usually there's three or four that

51
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: I'll be just as happy with. Geiiton is still there, Okay,

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: Barton is still there.

53
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Both both the trade offers that we have. Vegas is

54
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: on the phone. This is our only trade offer for

55
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: this pick. Vegas is on the phone offering forty four

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: to seventy seven and next year's second round pick for

57
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: twenty and our twenty twenty five pick from Washington.

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: That's not enough.

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to drop from twenty to forty four,

60
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: just pick up a second next year.

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: I mean, blue chip's a wrong word, but I don't

62
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: want to trade out of a first round player. No,

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: in this instance.

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: So if he gets down to this, so I think

65
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: there are four guys here that I would look at

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: and say, okay, I could I could live with maybe five.

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: So you got Fatano, Yep, I'd be fine with that.

68
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: Powers Johnson agreed, Uh, Wiggins, Okay, Dejeen.

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: Well, real quick, who do you like of those two?

70
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: And g and Giden? Well, who's your favorite tackle of

71
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: the two? I would lean towards Fatano? Agreed? Who's your

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: favorite corner of the two? I would like Dejeene agreed.

73
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: So now we're down to three. Yes, as much I

74
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: love Powers Johnson, I think positional value is too important here,

75
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: and I think the tackles the move. I think Fatano

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: is the guy. Yeah.

77
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean I he's gonna start somewhere for the next

78
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: five years.

79
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: I mean there's a chance Daniels isn't back after the year.

80
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: I mean right now, I'm putting Fatano at right tackle

81
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: sink or swim, Yeah, and I'm gonna give you every

82
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: opportunity to swim. If not, I'll find a spot for it,

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: maybe even center. I mean, I don't know. He's smart

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: and you know, but he's a really good player. It's

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: gonna get boring and maybe I'll change. I'm so locked

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: into the first round tackle that it's gonna get this

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: between now and April. Folks. It's just when the when

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: the red. Yeah, they give you red paint.

89
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 1: Paint the bar, right and there's a lot of red here,

90
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: and like they're and they're going like crazy many dirafs.

91
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Fatana goes top twelve right right right, like he goes.

92
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: Where what my mems did or one of those guys or.

93
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: Or you know, he's where Tennessee took Where did they

94
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: take him last year.

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: Tennis? Somewhere in that range. Yeah, yeah, I think he

96
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: was after right, he was ahead of Broader.

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: He was ahead of Roderick John's at fourteen.

98
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so after Johnson, Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, so he

99
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: was the third offensive lineman off the board, I think, yeah,

100
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: but right exactly. I mean that's where he would go.

101
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: And I think, to be honest with you, and this

102
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: isn't being recency biased, I think Fatanu. I'd rather Fatanu

103
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: than Scoransky because I thought, like, I didn't feel bad

104
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: putting Skoronsky in my guardless. Yeah, I think you're cheating

105
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: if you put for Fatano in the gardless. I think

106
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: this guy's a tackle.

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: He's a tackle, all right, take them We took fatana. Okay,

108
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: we're cruising now down here to our pick, our next pick. Okay,

109
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: we're fifty one.

110
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: Ooh uh.

111
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: The Chargers are on the phone. We have two trade offers.

112
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Chargers are on the phone. They're offering fifty nine and

113
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: their next year's fourth.

114
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: They come up to fifty one. That's adequate. I think

115
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna be pretty bad now cause.

116
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are on the phone. How about this one. They're

117
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: offering eighty nine in their twenty twenty five first round

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: draft pick.

119
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: It's such bad radio, but I would take that. I mean,

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: even if they're a playoff team next year. It's the

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: twentieth pick in the drier.

122
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: The problem is we wouldn't make another pick. We'd have

123
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 1: eighty four eighty nine.

124
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: But then you're I mean you'd have two thirds, you'd

125
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: have two fourths. Now you're trading up candidate. Yeah, and

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: you could trade some next year's picks. I mean, which

127
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: isn't it should be made for terrible radio. To be

128
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: honest with you, I think we say, no, I don't want.

129
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: To move back that far when they're because here's still

130
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: here's still uh.

131
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: In the real world. I think I think that.

132
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Here's who is still available to Andre Sweat, Zach Frasier, Rukeer,

133
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: Rojo Edgar, and Cooper Malachi Corley.

134
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of dudes that I might be

135
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: out on Sweat in round two, yeah, but I'm not

136
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: out on Oco in round two. Who else is there?

137
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: We got Cooper?

138
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's still some good players there.

139
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: Max Meltain's there, nice, Cedric Gray is there, Braid.

140
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's guys there that I would be.

141
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: There's extremely, extremely and I wish we could have moved

142
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: back five spots. Yeah, well, what was the charger spot

143
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: already kicked?

144
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: There're fifty nine and they only want to give us

145
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: a fourth next.

146
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 2: Year for it. That's not enough.

147
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: If it was fifty three, if it was a fourth

148
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: this year, I might think about it, but I'm not

149
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: doing it for a fourth next year.

150
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: See, I'm leaning towards it's Cooper there, and I don't

151
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: think he'd be there at fifty nine. But if we

152
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: would have moved down to fifty nine, I think you

153
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 2: still get Melton or Oko or Yah, which isn't awful.

154
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Who's your pick here? Though? I think Cooper stands out.

155
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah to me, it's Cooper and Aroo, a big guy

156
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: that can run like that. That, but maybe maybe we

157
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: get Mason Smith in the.

158
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah later, there's not a lot of them to pick.

159
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: There's just there's like four of them in my entire draft.

160
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: I think Cooper is a better prospect, but he's big

161
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: guy with those talents is intriguing. Cooper fills a need

162
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: right now, right. I think he's probably an opening day starter.

163
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: You would have a chance, you would, hope, Yeah, especially

164
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: if holkoms he's at the very least he's in the

165
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: rotation in the three man group. Yeah. Side note, do

166
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: you think there's a chance a linebacker is signed before

167
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: the draft? Yeah? I think it's not position number one,

168
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: but I think there's a chance. Yeah, crazy, and you

169
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: can still draft one. You can still draft one. But

170
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: I'd go Cooper, all right, Edgrian Cooper it is I mean,

171
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: if Folko start the season the pop or something like

172
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: that too, Yeah, you might need to all right.

173
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: We're back up here now at eighty four, and we

174
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: have two trade offers. Miami's on the phone. They're offering

175
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: us one fifty seven, a twenty twenty five third round pick,

176
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: and a twenty twenty five fourth round pick for eighty

177
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: four and two thirty eight.

178
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: That's nice. I mean, I don't think Miami's would be

179
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: great next year, and those mid round picks are valuable.

180
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,119
Speaker 2: But that's too far to go for this exercise.

181
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: Uh, Tennessee is on the phone. They want eighty four

182
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: and one ninety seven. Okay, they're offering pick one oh

183
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: seven and a twenty twenty five second round draft pick.

184
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: That could be like a thirty four pick. That could

185
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: be a good one. It could be really bad. I'd

186
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: be interested in that one.

187
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: We can counter that. I mean, going back one o

188
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: seven is their next pick.

189
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: I figured that, and I want that second next year.

190
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: I want that second next year. Will they give give

191
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: me a little sweetener here?

192
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: I want? Can we give them our seventh into a

193
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: fifth two or something like that? This year?

194
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: They have two third round picks. Next year, I wonder

195
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: if they would take Do they have Atlanta's third round pick?

196
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: They have Tennessee's third round pick, they're their own. If

197
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: I go instead of taking the second round pick this.

198
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: Year, take the third, take the third, and will they

199
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 2: give me pick one forty five make it theirs instead

200
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: of Atlanta's. Yeah? Oh, I definitely want that. Yeah, I

201
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: think they'd be horrible.

202
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: So it would be their third round pick, which could

203
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: be very early in the third round.

204
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that and pick one forty five. My

205
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: only counter is the most attractive thing in that trade

206
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: to me is their next year second. I understand, like

207
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: that's Joey Porter Junior. I understand that. Yeah, but I

208
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: hear it.

209
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: We think next year's ref's going to be super deep, though, too.

210
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: No Titans start next year.

211
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: Next year's third round pick could be a guy that's

212
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: typically a high second round pick.

213
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: And correct me if I'm wrong. In next year's draft,

214
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: we have we already have two fours. Yeah, maybe I

215
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 2: have anserve an extra fifth too next year.

216
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: So next year, here's what we got. We got our first,

217
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: our second, our third or fourth, the Rams fifth, Houston sixth.

218
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: I knew we had extra picks, okay, and Washington seventh. Okay.

219
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: So my point is, if we make this deal, pick

220
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: up the Titans third.

221
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Hey, we could throw in one of those picks if

222
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: we think, yeah, why just throw in like one of

223
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: those to try to get their second. Still, okay, I'll

224
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: let's let's say keep the second four one forty five, though,

225
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: and we'll throw.

226
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: In I went their second back.

227
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: Let's throw in the Rams fifth and see if.

228
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: I got it all right?

229
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Now, they didn't like that. I'm rejecting Miami's offer. I

230
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: just want to see the Titans offer. I'm going to

231
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: counter that again.

232
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 2: Do you remember the original offer? Yeah, it's right here.

233
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's it's eighty four one seven for one

234
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: oh seven and their next year's second run for draft pick.

235
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I really want that second I.

236
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Understand that, but you might want a player that's still

237
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: available now.

238
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: And still have my point being though, since we have

239
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: so many extra picks next year, we could trade up

240
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: this year with the Rams extra pick, the Titans extra

241
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: you know all these Well.

242
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: We could give up our third next year because their

243
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: second is going to be way higher our third.

244
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: But this pick and our third guys still available.

245
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: Cedric van Pran, m Christian Mahogany, Jaylen McMillan, will Shipley Braylan.

246
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Now this is but a lot of running backs. Corner

247
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Roger Rosengarten.

248
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: He's interesting, but we took it back. Let me let

249
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: me take it. We'll just break it down here by cornerbacks.

250
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: So still available.

251
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: DJ James Bernardo Green, Mike Sandstrel, Josh Newton, Kyrie Jackson,

252
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Cam Hart, Johnny Dixon, there's there's sanstral stands out there.

253
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to. I don't know if I

254
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 2: want to trade away from that, make a trade now,

255
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean, if I want to trade away from him,

256
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: Kyrie Jackson wouldn't have been bad, but he the one

257
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: is going to be there. Josh Newton is still there,

258
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: Like I think you thinks Santa Strul.

259
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, I'm not going to fight you on

260
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: it because I think he plays right away.

261
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I was just saying, you know that Titan

262
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: second round pick next year could be Joey Porter Junior.

263
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's great, But Santa Shril is a year

264
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: earlier and helps you, right, and he might be.

265
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: He's he's the best slock corner in this draft. Yeah,

266
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: and he's such a Steeler yeah, mentality, and.

267
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: He's a pick. We may not get another trade. That's fine,

268
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: so be it.

269
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Although we might get something for these nets, well we don't.

270
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: We don't have any trade offers here for one twenty.

271
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: And we have won twenty one as well. Yeah, so.

272
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: Top players available. Blake Korm, McKinley, Jackson, James Williams, Massan Smith.

273
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: Just take him at one to two. Alrighty, there we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

274
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: we're back up again.

275
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: Here at one twenty one. Again, nobody offering anything.

276
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: So what we didn't take a center. We did not

277
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: take a center. Let's let's see what. I think they're

278
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: sign one, but that's neither here nor there. We didn't

279
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: take a safety, I think sign one. We didn't take

280
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: a D lineman. We did take a D line.

281
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: We just took oh, we stood once took Massan Smith,

282
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: Bolmer is there not bad?

283
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: Hunter?

284
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Nor's ad Charles Turner, Drake Nugent, Kingsley, Ekubon Ekkan.

285
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. How about safeties or white outs?

286
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Oh, we didn't take a wide out.

287
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet there's some white outs.

288
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Uh so you're looking at Jamari Thrash, Brendan Rice, Javon Baker,

289
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: Luke McCaffrey.

290
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: There's some I like Rice and Baker. I mean the

291
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 2: other names aren't bad either. Yeah.

292
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we don't take one of those guys here,

293
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna not get one.

294
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think receiver to move. They like legacy guys,

295
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: They do like legacy guys. There's a Hall of Famer

296
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: son there actually McCaffrey's brother. Then you think of that

297
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: a couple of yeah, a couple of legacy guys, the

298
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: legacy guys. Do you have a preference of Rice versus

299
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: Baker or Thrash or Rice is physical on he blocks,

300
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: he does.

301
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: McCaffrey can fly a little bit.

302
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: There's one you like better than the other. I don't

303
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: really care. I would probably pick Rice. I'm probably with

304
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: you there. We can do that. We haven't taken we

305
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: haven't taken him. Maybe get Jerry on the air at

306
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: camp and there you go. I mean it's good for Yeah,

307
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: it's good for us. All right. That's the patch of

308
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: Jerry Rice walking around with Steeler gear on.

309

Speaker 1: forty nine ers.

319
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: Which is unusual to begin with.

320
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so they have a little a little party

321
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: during the week wherever they're all week long, and then

322
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: a little pre game party like the teams night or

323
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,840

325
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: the players are there just mingling and talking. And they

326
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: practiced against each other all week. Now they're mingling, they're

327
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: talking pre season. I mean it's taking I get a

328
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: picture with Rob Woodson with Jerry Rice. Yeah, might be

329
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: two of the best guys ever at their position.

330
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, pretty fun and one reguard the other.

331
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: Right all over, yeah, all over, Okay, somebody, that's what

332
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: this job is all about. Right to foreign lands and

333
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: covered Jerry Rice.

334
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: All right, we're back up here and at one ninety seven,

335
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: no trade offers.

336
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: Now we could try to interesting to me here. Yeah,

337
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: let's uh, let's take a look here. What we have

338
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: another center in the mix? I guess would be logical.

339
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: Oh oh, so the safety is available. Trey Taylor from

340
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,239
Speaker 1: air Force, I don't know him, say, Vaki interesting from Utah,

341
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: Jay Stanley from Southern miss Mark Perry from TCU, Dominique

342
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Hampton from Washington, Demani Richardson from Texas A and m

343
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Simpson from Auburn.

344
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: Another one that's still available.

345
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: There looking here at the best available, you got edge

346
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: rusher Zion Tupola Fatui from Washington, Terry Still from the

347
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: cornerback from Maryland Taylor, George Alani from Boise State to

348
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: running back Deentre Prince cornerback from Ole, Miss, Brendan Jackson,

349
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: the edge rusher at Washington State, Joe Jan Briggs, defensive

350
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: tackle from Cincinnati. John McMahon is still there's your developmental

351
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: center who's tested like crazy.

352
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: Be in the mix. I think the safeties would help

353
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: you more on teams, though probably they would definitely would.

354
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: Center is not going to do much walk he kicks

355
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: for you.

356
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: It was awfully athletic.

357
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I lean towards on the safeties probably Vikai. I

358
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: don't think he blew the doors off the combine, but

359
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: so be it. I think he got his arms aller

360
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: on the short side too. But fun player, good temperament. Yeah,

361
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: any issues with that, I don't have problem with that. Okay,

362
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: all right, Kai, it is one more pick? No, that's it?

363
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: Oh oh no, wait, we do Okay, because we didn't

364
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: trade that. We usually trade that away. Yeah, we didn't

365
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: make any deals. We did not.

366
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: Let's see, uh, let's look at it. Hunter running back,

367
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Let's look at a center. Acubon from Florida is still there,

368
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: Andrew Raim C. J. Hansen from Holy Cross, Matt Lee

369
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: from Florida. Yeah, that got pretty well picked him. All right,

370
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: Let's move on to uh guard. I don't see much

371
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: there either. We took a tackle already. Tight end running

372
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: back tight end, Tip Raymond is there? Get another big

373
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: dude right position? Trey Knox from South Carolina's there, Isaac

374
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Rex from b YU.

375
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: Nothing that Raymond's my favorite name you mentioned so far.

376
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, running back, you're looking at Carson Steele, the the

377
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: one Edwards from Georgia, Juan Jawar Jordan from Louisville where

378
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: she Lee, Chase McClellan from Alabama, Kendall Mint Milton from Georgia.

379
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Quarterback punter you're looking at uh Ryan Rickal from b YU.

380
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: Tory Taylor is still there, the b YU or the

381
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: Iowa punter. And at quarterback we might be able to

382
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: just pun on punter and you sign one, uh punter,

383
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: you're looking quarterback quarterbacks. What I want quarterbacks? You're looking

384
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: at Devin Leary. Yeah, he's interesting, Yeah, very Jason Bean,

385
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: kit On Slovist, Brendan Armstrong, Davius Richard. I think a

386
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: chance on Leary is Larry.

387
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: I think it's an easy one. Yeah, yeah, chance on

388
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Leary there. Yeah, that's a good one. Cool. I'd gladly

389
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: take him in the seventh round. Oh yeah. Yeah.

390
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: So even though we said we could make trades in this,

391
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: when we'd ended up not making.

392
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: Any one, Titans had us salvating largely because we were

393
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: happy with what was available there. Yeah.

394
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So we got Troy Fatanun at twenty Edgrian

395
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: Cooper at fifty one. That's real nice value. I think,

396
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: Mike Sanstril at eighty four. Okay, so we got offensive tackle,

397
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: defense defense.

398
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, middle of the field defenders, young.

399
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 1: Guys, Mussan Smith at one twenty defense, defense, defense. Then

400
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: we went wide receiver at one twenty one with Brendan

401
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: Rice okay at one ninety seven, went back to the

402
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: defensive side with Sioni.

403
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: Vaki specialty for now but yeah.

404
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: And then at two thirty eight we got our development

405
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: development quarterback in Devin Leary.

406
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think is a lot better than like Olacon

407
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: or you know. I I think he's got a real

408
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: chance to stick in the league. Yeah, so no, I'll

409
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: take it. Not bad. Tackles got hit hard, a crushed, crushed. Yeah,

410
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: I'm not unhappy with tackle.

411
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: Surprisingly, I thought we have two corners off the board

412
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: because we had Dejeene and Wiggins available to him.

413
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's two gone, but we waded and got Santa

414
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: stro which at that price, I don't have a problem

415
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: with that.

416
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly like I think he steps in,

417
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: is you slot right away?

418
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: I'd consider him a lot of things probably have to

419
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 2: go wrong. I'd consider them in the second round. Yeah,

420
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if he'd be in my

421
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: top fifty for the Steelers, but he'd be in that neighborhood.

422
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to be necessarily for everyone.

423
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: Do either. I think you might get him in the

424
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: third Yeah. Not A lot of teams won't value slock

425
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: corner super high.

426
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially I mean he's not the biggest dude. Yeah,

427
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: A lot of teams he might want need a slide.

428
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: We need a two hundred pounds slot. Yeah, and he's

429
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: not that he came in taller at the combine, and

430
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: I think everybody was.

431
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: He might I thought ittle. Yeah he's not.

432
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: He's not little. No, he's little, and and he's thick

433
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: and tough. Yeah yeah, tough that Yeah, he'd fit in

434
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: real well.

435
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

436
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: And then you have Mason Smith right after him.

437
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: They couldn't be any different. And he may hardly play

438
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: for a while. Yeah, mean it might take him a

439
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 2: little while, but go follow Cam Hayward around, you know,

440
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: figure things out. Overall. I don't mind that draft. I

441
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 2: don't mind that draft either. Now. I wish we had

442
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: more options in the first round, you know, to consider

443
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: some of those trades.

444
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: But so what happens when you're picking twentieth and if

445
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: if Atano is our fallback option, if that's our.

446
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: Fine b Yeah, okay, he definitely be in my top twenty.

447
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: I mean it would not be a stretch there, no,

448
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: not at all.

449
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: Let's get through a break. He is the Matt Williamson.

464
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I don't think any of that super

465
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: news worthy. I mean I get the all angles on that.

466
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: Jad and Daniels three, yeah, Marvin Harrison four.

467
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: What percent chance do you think those three teams stay

468
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: in the top three and draft quarterbacks? I mean I

469
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: think the Bears would taking Williams. Yeah.

470
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: You know what, if I were the Bears and this

471
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: is just I'd be talking to Washington.

472
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 2: And New England.

473
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: The Washington thing seems like I would certainly be talking

474
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: to Washington because I could trade out of that number

475
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: one spot, get something to get their first next year,

476
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: get their first next year. That might be enough for

477
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: me and Daniels. To me again, I had Daniels rated

478
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: ahead of Caleb Williams.

479
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if they took me there, I wouldn't be critical, No,

480
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: I mean, but.

481
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: I think Williams and Daniels are pretty close.

482
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: I think the three of them are pretty well lived.

483
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: To me, you know that I could Washington first next year. Yeah,

484
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: I mean we have the same conversation we're having this

485
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: year with you know, the Bears have the first overall pick,

486
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: in the ninth overall pick again, right with a good

487
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 2: young quarterback.

488
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: You know, like, wow, Yeah, I would. I would entertain that.

489
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: I would entertain that too. I don't think they will.

490
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Because the thing Williams is from Washington. I know that's

491
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: the beauty of it. You could put this guy on

492
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: all your billboards in Washington.

493
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: People will love it. Denver's a really good example of this,

494
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: and as is Carolina. I think you can take advantage

495
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: of new owners in this league. I think people don't.

496
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 2: No one's ever got new GM, the whole deal, right,

497
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: new whole building. Yeah, everybody, you know, we everyone's as happy.

498
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: It's not the old owner in Washington. It's not easy

499
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: to be an owner. It's not even like it's going

500
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: to sell tickets. We got to do right. I'm just rich.

501
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean I'm good at this. Yeah, you didn't

502
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: make your money doing football stuff, No, Right, decided to

503
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: buy a team.

504
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, at five, we get a projected trade the Bears.

505
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Harrison, Yeah, okay, the Bears move up from

506
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: nine to nine.

507
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: To five, working nine to they get Molik Neighbors.

508
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: That's really interesting, But they don't have a second That'd

509
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: be like all they get in this draft. I wonder

510
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 2: if they'd have to give up something.

511
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: They give up their two third rounders this year, so

512
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: that would be all they would get out of this draft.

513
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: Which but for the reason if you if you made

514
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: the trade with Washington.

515
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: Right right, right right now, that's what was gonna mention like.

516
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: And whenever you get assuming Justin Fields is moved.

517
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: Finally you'll get something. But it seems like less than

518
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 2: what originally thought. I don't think they're going to get

519
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: like the first picking second round. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

520
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: I get it. My only complaint there is I don't

521
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: know that a team would move from five to nine

522
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: just for two thirds. Yeah, you know what I mean,

523
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: somebody else would offer something better. I mean, the idea

524
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: of the Bear's trading up is pretty cool. Although the

525
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: Chargers could certainly use the two thirds, I think they

526
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: are a big trade down candidate. Yeah, I just think

527
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: they could do better.

528
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: A Dunez goes at six. Okay, at seven is Joe

529
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: Al to the Titans.

530
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: Nice, they're thrilled.

531
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Turner goes at eight to the.

532
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: The Titans almost can do no wrong. Yeah.

533
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: The Chargers trade down, pick up those two third round picks,

534
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: and they take brock Bauers at nine.

535
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: Fine, I think you consider them at five. Yeah, I

536
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: don't think it'd be my pick, but you consider.

537
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: Them ten for Shan who goes to the Jets.

538
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 2: That's become as chalky as shocking good. Yeah.

539
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: And eleven, this is where we start to die.

540
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: This is your quarterback.

541
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy goes to the Vikings.

542
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 2: That makes all sense in the world. I don't think

543
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: Cousin's going to come back. I don't think he is either.

544
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 2: So I had a conversation on Today's my podcast today,

545
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: and I'm starting to really think this. I don't know

546
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: what spots they'll be in, but I think McCarthy and

547
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: Cousin will be Falcons and Vikings. I don't know who's

548
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: to beware, but I think there's a good chance that

549
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: those two end up in those two towns.

550
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, twelve Verse goes to the Broncos.

551
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean them in the Raiders here and No

552
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 2: Man's Land for quarterbacks.

553
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: At thirteen, the Raiders take byra Murphy.

554
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just keep giving both those teams best defensive

555
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: player available.

556
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: The Saints take to Lasi Fuaga.

557
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ramcheck's not in good shape right now.

558
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: At fifteen, the Colts take Terry and Arnold it's fine.

559
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: I just don't think he's a great fit for them.

560
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: I would take Mitchell ahead of him for the Colts. Yeah,

561
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: they're the cover three, you know.

562
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: At sixteen, well, the saying it, Mitchell already saying Kenny

563
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Moore doesn't come back, and so.

564
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: I didn't think of that angle. But that ends up

565
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: Adam to the mix.

566
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: Sixteen Darius Robinson to the Seahawks.

567
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean we always link them to the Ravens,

568
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: and the Ravens they're the best coach.

569
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: It's now the head coach there. Different body type.

570
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if Murphy's gone, maybe they wouldn't want

571
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: to go with Newton. They want a bigger body type guy. Yeah,

572
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: that's not crazy. Seven they bring back Leonard.

573
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: Williams, though after what they pay for him, probably, you know,

574
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: although that regime didn't do it.

575
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: They didn't do it all right, and they're making cuts

576
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: left and right too.

577
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: Seventeen the Jaguars take Quinya Mitchell. They just released the

578
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: starting cornerback today they were they released Darius Williams.

579
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: I forgot what podcast I was listening to, but I

580
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 2: was almost laughing out loud that it's like a yearly

581
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: ritual in the beginning of March to just watch the jag.

582
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: Go back to look two years ago, who the Jags

583
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: signed and.

584
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: They're gonna get cut two years from now, and whoever

585
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: they signed last year is going to get cut two

586
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: years from now. I mean, it's it's money in the bank.

587
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, literally for the players because they and they get

588
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: to go out and be on the open market.

589
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: Day. Jones is next, and I mean there's so many.

590
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: Uh eighteen JC Latham to the Bengals.

591
00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: I hate that.

592
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: So if you're the Steelers and you're sitting there and

593
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: at seventeen the Jaguars are on the on the clock,

594
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: are you calling them that, maybe, hey, Quinna Mitchell and

595
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: JC Latham are dereic we can go up and maybe

596
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: get one of those two guys.

597
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: They're gonna after your third, I probably hit hang tight

598
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 2: and center for the tackle you get, or hope one

599
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: of them falls. You know, Latham's not getting past the Bengals. Yeah, right, tackle,

600
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: that's it hurts and you gotta play against and you

601
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: gotta play against him. Yeah, it's a double Wami.

602
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: Nineteen, the Rams take Nate Wiggins.

603
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: If they would do it for a fourth, they would, Yeah. Third,

604
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: I don't think I would. And you don't love Wiggins

605
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: going here, but playing to pick from.

606
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: So the three picks right at of the Mitchell Latham

607
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Wiggins hurts bad.

608
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's not like the cupboards are bare, but it

609
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: hurts bad. Yeah.

610
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: At twenty he has the Steelers taking Amarius Mims, the

611
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: offensive tackle from Georgia.

612
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm more fine with that than you are. I wouldn't

613
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: say it's ideal, but it makes me salivate in a

614
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: good way. To be honest with you, he is trusting

615
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: your O line coach, and he had I stay healthy.

616
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: I get it.

617
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: He's he's got all the traits in the world, right,

618
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: but in three seasons he's made eight career starts and

619
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: he's played seven hundred and seventy four snaps. I know,

620
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: I know, is he going to help you at all

621
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: this year, I think, so, I don't know. I mean,

622
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: Broderick Jones was a much had fifteen career starts.

623
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he was considered a raw player coming out.

624
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: And he had some struggles last year.

625
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: Of course, of course Mims would too. Yeah, I mean

626
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: he's going to no matter where he.

627
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Is, And now I'm gonna take Broderick Jones and I'm

628
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna flip him over to the left side. That's a plan,

629
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: And say, Mims is, so, I might have two struggling

630
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: offensive tackles first.

631
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: Round Georgia tackles that are ridiculously talented.

632
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: I might take the double. I might double off the

633
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: wall and go get Go, get Troyano. No, I hear you,

634
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 1: I mean Jackson Powers Johnson.

635
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: I'm not even saying Mims would be my pick if

636
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: those were the first nineteen I'm just saying that if

637
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: you told me, I don't know how the draft goes,

638
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: but the Steelers ended up with Mems at twenty, But

639
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: I mean.

640
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't I would completely understand.

641
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I might take the double. That's a

642
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: different conversation and I understand it. And again I especial

643
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: train down.

644
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: There would, especially at twenty I'm like, Okay, I want

645
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: to make sure I get a guy who's going to

646
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: step in here.

647
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 2: I think I think my roster's pretty good, Like I'd

648
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: love to get Mims at twenty three, and you're the

649
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: team that picks up a third round, yeah, you know,

650
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: especially with both those guys available.

651
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: At twenty one, the Dolphins take Jackson Powers Johnson.

652
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: As they should. Yeah, I mean even if he's a

653
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: guard for him whatever, they need Liman like crazy.

654
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: At twenty two, the Eagles take Tyler Geiton.

655
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: That's the type of pick. I mean, Lane Johnson's not

656
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: long for this world. Yeah, but Kyon, you can't play

657
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: at guard in the meantime, No, that's the problem. But

658
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: they take Liman.

659
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: At twenty three, the Texans take lay two.

660
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: They'd be thrilled with that. Oh yeah, and put him

661
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: off soit will allen.

662
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: At twenty four, the Cowboys take Fatano.

663
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: He'll play somewhere for him. That's a great pick for them. Yeah. Yeah,

664
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: I had them taking Barton for the same reason, basically,

665
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: like there's three spots he could play. Yeah.

666
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: Twenty five the Packers take Cooper dejen.

667
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: I had the same thing. They need safeties and they

668
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: need corners. I think he's a corner. He just looks

669
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: like a packer. Good pick.

670
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: At twenty six, the Buccaneers take Chop Robinson.

671
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: I actually the same thing with that too. Yeah, they've

672
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: been kind of looking for edges for a while, and

673
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: they cut Shack Barrett.

674
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Twenty seven, the Cardinals take cool Aid McKinstry.

675
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: That'd be fine. Yeah, as long as he's fine medically

676
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: and can run. I think that's neighborhood.

677
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: He goes twenty eight to Bills, take a Donnie Mitchell.

678
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 2: That's where I had them take them. I'd take him.

679
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: Take Mitchell there too, And that's when I thought I

680
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: was like, man, I'm kind of out of picks. I'm

681
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: thrilled with Yeah. I'm like, eh, it's okay, but I'm

682
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: not even sure the best receiver on the board. Twenty

683
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: nine the Lions state Thomas go from LSU No, oh,

684
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: I would if I was the Bills, I'd be thrilled

685
00:31:59,640 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: to guitar.

686
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: Twenty nine, the Lions take jers On Newton.

687
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's a good one.

688
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: At thirty, the Ravens take Brian Thomas.

689
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: I'd hate that. Yeah, that would not be good. Latham

690
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: Thomas or the two picks of those two teams not nice.

691
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: At thirty one, the forty nine Ers take Enus Rakestraw.

692
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: Could happen, Yeah, that could happen. I think Corner and

693
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: o'loner and play for those guys.

694
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: At thirty two, the Chiefs take Xavier Worthy.

695
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: I did the same thing just because it's fun as

696
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: could be. Yeah. Yeah.

697
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: Starting off round two, the Panthers take Keyon Coleman.

698
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: There'll be a receiver there for him and they should

699
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: take one. Yeah.

700
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Morgan goes to the Patriots, so Mattia goes to

701
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. So there's this nice too early.

702
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it's a good way to build a line.

703
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: Then you get at thirty six, Graham Barton going to Washington.

704
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: Great, they play somewhere.

705
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: The Chargers take Kamari Lassiter. Fine, Ladd McConkie to the Titans.

706
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: Nice, you endw your tackle and you get mcconchughy.

707
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeahkay, thirty nine bon Knicks to the Giants. I suppose

708

Speaker 1: forty adisa Isaac goes to the Commanders.

709
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: Now they just traded two edge guys.

Speaker 1: Forty one Edgrin Cooper to the Packers.

711
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: I guess, I mean, did they cut the Vonde Campbell

712
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: or there was rum? Yeah, they were talking Tom. I

713
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: think he might be I think he's expensive and they

714
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: might be cutting him or already did. Yeah, okay.

715
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: Forty two is Chris Jenkins fine?

716
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

717
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: Forty three Xavier leget.

718
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a lot of receivers in this neighborhood that

719
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: are pretty good.

720
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: Forty four of the Raiders go get Michael Pennix, smart.

721
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that.

722
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: Forty five the Saints take Chris Braswell.

723
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: They need everything, they really need everything.

724
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: Forty six the Colts go Roman Wilson.

725
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: Wow. Nice, He's not the big guy they usually get

726
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: at every position, but he would have been. It would

727
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: be helpful. He'll be helpful. He's better than Peers.

728
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: Braden Fisk goes at forty seven to the Giants.

729
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I'd like to see him go in the top fifty.

730
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: Dominic Pooney goes to the Jaguars.

731
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: They need it. They play somewhere for him. Man.

732
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: The Bengals take Theo Johnson, the tight end at of

733
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: penn State.

734
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: Wow, ahead of Finley or ahead of the Texas.

735
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: He's more of a combo guy. Yeah, like he's more

736
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: of a real true NFL tight end.

737
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 2: He's a really good athlete too. Yeah, yeah, I don't

738
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: think that's a bad pick. I would have thought that's earlier,

739
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: but that's not a bad pick.

740
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: The Eagles at fifty take Junior Colson.

741
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: They don't take linebackers, but they probably should. They probably

742
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: should consider it. Yeah, they're still in the Kobe Dean,

743
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: but middle of feels bad for them.

744
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: Fifty one, the Steelers take Zach Frasier. Okay, you come

745
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: out of this with Mims and Zim.

746
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: Right and first round pick last year.

747
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: I mean that's doesn't help your defenses of.

748
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: Course, of course, but he's worth that pick.

749
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Oh, there's no doubt.

750
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 2: And he would fit in really really well, no doubt. Wow.

751
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: Right after that, fifty two, the Rams goo Marshawn neland

752
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Neuban goes to the Eagles, so they go linebacker safety.

753
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: The Browns first pick is Malachai Corley.

754
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: I guess that makes some sense. I think they missed

755
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: on Tillman. Yeah.

756
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: Jatavian Sanders goes at fifty five.

757
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: Sounds about right. It doesn't seem to have a lot

758
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: of steam right now.

759
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: The Cowboys take Trey Benson.

760
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: That's a good pick for that. Yeah, that's that makes sense.

761
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay grabs Troy Franklin. Jonathan Brooks goes to the Packers.

762
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: There's another team that could.

763
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 2: Go running back. Yeah, maybe at that spot too. Uh.

764
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: At fifty nine, the Buccaneers go tj Tampa.

765
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 2: Well, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay. How about that? Well, no,

766
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: he's Houston. Oh I think head the Buccaneers took team.

767
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: Oh maybe I did because I was looking at Tampa. Yeah,

768
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: he mused to take Tampa. Okay, he's a good match

769
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 2: for Dexastingland. Yeah.

770
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: Sixty devonre Sweat goes to the Bills.

771
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: Okay, with their safety corner center releases. Yeah, Jordany wouldn't

772
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: have known. I don't know that they can take another

773
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 2: defensive line in that high.

774
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: It's sixty one. The Lions take Cam Hart.

775
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: They need to go corner with one of those first

776
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 2: Frew picks.

777
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: Sixty two Cooper Bebe to the Ravens.

778
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: Simpson's up and Zeitler's up. No, we haven't talked about

779
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: that much, but both their starting guards are up. Scheitler

780
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: was bad down the stretch. Yeah, yeah, he's old.

781
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixty three to the forty nine Ers take Patrick.

782
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: Paul developmental guy. That would makes some sense. Yeah.

783
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: And then the final pick of round two, the Chiefs

784
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: take Michael Hall Junior, the defensive tackle out of Ohio.

785
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: He's their style. He would fit in somewhere as up

786
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: the field, move them all over the line guy. Yeah,

787
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: and okay, that makes some sense too.

788
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: Not a big run on the cornerback though in the

789
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: second round.

790
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: No, there's the Meltains of the world still out there.

791
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: Line Another question, I mean, would you consider some.

792
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: Of the defensive linemen are still there too?

793
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you could be patient for a while,

794
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: but if there's a run, consider moving up from you know,

795
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: into the move up ten spots. I mean, you do

796
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: have the extra fourth, you you grabb all those corners

797
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: or d lineman. I don't want to leave this draft

798
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: without a first three round corner. Yeah, doesn't do anything

799
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: for you linebacker though either it doesn't you know. Of course,

800
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: there'd be some free agent needs. Like my problem with

801
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: some of these are I mean I say it all

802
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 2: the time is they have more needs than they have picked,

803
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: just like every team did right now. Because there's a

804
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: bunch of the premium stuff anyways. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

805
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: I mean, like anytime I do a mock and I

806
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: throw it out there, well, who's gonna be your center?

807
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: Well they might have signed one. You know, you can't

808
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: fill every need.

809
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: Two weeks from today, we'll have a much better idea.

810
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I mean there's hundreds of

811
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 2: unemployed starting players out there right now and more hitting

812
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: the market every day. Every ye got left and right. Yeah,

813
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 2: So I mean that's just the nature of the beast. Yeah,

814
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 2: and they get everything. You know.

815
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this in the next segment. I'll

816
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: talk a little free agency when we come out of this.

817
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: But that's uh Jordan Jordan Mock Draft two round mock

818
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: on ESPN dot Com. And the Steelers come out of

819
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: that with a offensive.

820
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: Tackle and line makeover. Man.

821
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: Yeah that can you know, you got really young all

822
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden on your offensive.

823
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: They mangled the brickishaw ferguson draft right Nope.

824
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, But let's get to a break. We'll be

825
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: back with more in a drive right after this.

826
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: Welcome back.

827
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lalli. He is the Matt Williamson and

828
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: Matt I think you know when you start looking at

829
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: the Steelers' situation years they head into uh into the

830
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: free agency periods, which starts next week. Yeah, people might

831
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: be wondering, you know, they haven't done some things here.

832
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: Right now as we sit here, and this is according

833
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: to spot track, the Steelers have nine point five million

834
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: dollars free is.

835
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: Their most recent move releasing coal. Yeah, okay, I'm sure

836
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: that's factory.

837
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so right now they're nine point five million under

838
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: the cap.

839
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: Which which is fine.

840
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: People might look at this go they have done anything

841
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: with some other moves that we thought might happen Alan Robinson.

842
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Patrick Peterson, Patrick, there's potential cuts.

843
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: So I'm of the belief that I don't think they

844
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: cut Alan Robinson. I don't either, because I think they

845
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: go to Alan Robinson and say, hey, you know we

846
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: can't We love you, we can't pay you eleven million dollars.

847
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 2: We knew that the day we traded for it, right,

848
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: you knew it. We knew it. Yeah, you're not that

849
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: guy anymore.

850
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: The rams get sends you signed to that deal.

851
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 2: But we like you. You serve a good purpose here.

852
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: How about we knock that down to say three and

853
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: a half million saves us. You know, seven million against

854
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: the salary cap, and you don't have to go out

855
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: on the free agent market, which might not be real

856
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: kind to you at this time.

857
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: I think would be eye opening and not real kind

858
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: to him.

859
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, because well, everybody has a bunch of money right now.

860
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: The draft is loaded with wide receivers.

861
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: Yes, and you have not been a great separate You're

862
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: not the player you wants work of course, and you've

863
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: made your money. I think you have a similar conversation

864
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: with Peterson.

865
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: You could have a similar conversation there.

866
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: I think he's worth more a year than Robinson is.

867
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: But they they both at lump them together because their veterans,

868
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: they're leaders, their great careers behind them. Peterson played a

869
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: ton of snaps and can do and they both can

870
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: do things that are sort of unconventional for their position.

871
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: The only difference so between Peterson and Robinson. The Steelers

872
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: signed Peterson's that day. They didn't they knew, Yeah, they

873
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: didn't inherit that contract, so they knew what it was

874
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: going to be and what the hit was going to

875
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: be this year, and so they they you know, made

876
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: that they signed the contract with that in mind.

877
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: Okay, here's what he's going to be next year.

878
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: See I can't, but with Robinson, if you could, you

879
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: can clear up seven million dollars. That goes a long way.

880
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: And he should say yes to that.

881
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: He absolutely should say yes.

882
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 2: That's him on the open market. Could he could be

883
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: out there till June? Right? Yeah? I mean, and he

884
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: seems happy here. He also had he you're gonna want

885
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: a guy that can block. He does that well. He

886
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: can hold down the Ford as your third receiver and

887
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 2: maybe a draft past them or Austin goes by him.

888
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 2: And Peterson was your number one snap guy on defense.

889
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: But I don't want to say he's one of my

890
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: four starting tons of backs, you know, like okay with

891
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean, somewhere he'll fit in as a corner or

892
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 2: a slot or a safety or whatever. But hopefully he's

893
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 2: a five hundred snap guy next year. Nickel dime injuries,

894
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: you know that type of one.

895
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't think the plan going into last year was

896
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: to play him over a thousand.

897
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: Snaps, exactly exactly. You know that sometimes just happens that

898
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 2: way because not that he's your best player, because he

899
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: had he was healthy, healthy and versatile, which is the

900
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 2: beauty of both of them. As they're both established, versatile,

901
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: strong character guys and I think they like being here. Yeah,

902
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: so you know they don't have you know the numbers

903
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: better than me. But if you were negotiate both of them,

904
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: you might free up ten eleven something like that.

905
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: I think with Peterson the whole negotiation and Behay, we're

906
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: going to tack on an next an extra.

907
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: Year on your deal. Yeah yeah, avoidable year.

908
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: Low is your salary cap pit this year. You're still

909
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: gonna get your money, but we're just we're just doing

910
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: that to free up another three million in cap space

911
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: this year.

912
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: Ye yeah. And we might drift past you and you

913
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: might not, but it's the bird in the hand there.

914
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 2: You're going to be on the team. Yeah. Yeah.

915
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: Robinson. On the other hand, I think you just go

916
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: to and say, hey, we love you, we'd like to

917
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: do this.

918
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 2: We think you like it here. You know, let's let's

919
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: the other options cutting you the.

920
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: Other the option is if you don't do this, we're

921
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to cut you.

922
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 2: Which again we knew when we traded for you, right,

923
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: and then you're on the open market and he might

924
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: be signing for the Vettera minimum somewhere, yeah, or you

925
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: might or you might not sign anywhere. Yeah, you might retire,

926
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: or you know, it might be over. So it's up

927
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 2: to you, you know. I mean, that's that's the business

928
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: of it. Again, it's not a I don't like you

929
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 2: the type of thing.

930
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: Because again, they didn't sign him to that deal. No,

931
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: it's not their deal.

932
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: It's a bad deal for the player he is now,

933
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 2: which is why the Rams made the trade for basically nothing.

934
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: I don't expect just looking at everything here, I don't

935
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: expect the Steelers to be quite as active or anywhere

936
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: near as active as they were or have been the

937
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: last two years in that opening week of.

938
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: Because I maybe not the opening week when I'm looking here.

939
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: I mean, the Commanders have ninety six million. These teams

940
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: are going to go nuts the first week. They're going

941
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: to spend themselves out. We've already seen it with some

942
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 1: of the deals Houston. Houston had had a bunch of money,

943
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: and they've made a couple of probably overpaid signings to

944
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: keep a couple of their own guys.

945
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, what I expect is I think eight quarterback

946
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 2: will be and I don't know if anything's that happened

947
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: the first couple of days. I mean those teams are

948
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 2: going to dominate to the Bears in Washington and foolishly

949
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: spend probably right, But I do think the Steelers will

950
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: have a quarterback in tow within the next two weeks. Yeah.

951
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 2: I think a center is very likely. I think his

952
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: safety is very likely. I think those two renegotiations, or

953
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: at least one are likely. I would like to see

954
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,959
Speaker 2: them re sign Watts and Golden, which aren't crazy. Maybe

955
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 2: a linebacker, so outside the organization, I'm looking quarterback, center, safety,

956
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: maybe a linebacker, none of whom are twenty million dollar years.

957
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: They're not gonna break the back. Yeah, right, they're all starters,

958
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: but not super expensive guys. Yeah, and then go to

959
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: the draft, and.

960
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: Then go to the draft to see what you get

961
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: out of that. Again, fill those spots as you always like. Yeah,

962
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 1: if you had to line up right the week before

963
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: the draft, Okay, we got twenty two guys who are

964
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: NFL capable, starter capable.

965
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 2: Guys, a little bit different stuff. If we can overdraft him. Yeah,

966
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: a center that you like more than Mason Cole.

967
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: I mean, well, center, you might, you know, if you're

968
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna spend, you might be the bigger take.

969
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 2: You might as well, go get and.

970
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: You have a guy that at that spot now in

971
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: her big who if you again, if you had to

972
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: play today.

973
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: Right right right, you could do it. And Anderson's a

974
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 2: bit of an unknown, but who knows. Yeah, I think

975
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: kind of what you were saying there is if they

976
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: were to in centers different than.

977
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: But I think people if they if they're not super

978
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: active in the first week, as the is has typically

979
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: been the case, and they last year was the outlier.

980
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: They signed twelve guys in the first two weeks. If

981
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: they're not super active early, doesn't mean that they're not

982
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: going to be active.

983
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: Right, And then they had to see them all a

984
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 2: little later in the process, like wow, I didn't see

985
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 2: that coming bonus prize, you know, like I could see

986
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: them waiting till the title waight go yeah, wait and

987
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 2: see patients might pay off safeties safeties.

988
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: Loaded right now with guys and more guys are getting

989
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: cut every day.

990
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: And they'll be those first two days like ah, I

991
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 2: was hoping Blackman would be a Steeler or you know,

992
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: but then there's someone just like them out there right, yeah,

993
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 2: and wait and buy them at seventy five cents on

994
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: the dollar. Yeah, I mean that's just the I think

995
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: you really think six centers are gonna signed in the

996
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: first two days.

997
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: I think it's the more prudent approach to this year.

998
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: I I do too, just because of all those other

999
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: teams have so much money available. You're not gonna win

1000
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: a binning war against those guys.

1001
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: There's not even two or three free agents I have

1002
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: to have, right guys. I like these guys would fit,

1003
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 2: but there's not no one I'm overpaying.

1004
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: Just let this one happen. You know, they were aggressive

1005
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: last year they had the cap spasically went out, and

1006
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: even two years they were aggressive that first week of

1007
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: the signing, the Miles Jackson signing, you know, Mitch Trubisky

1008
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: and guys like that. They were aggressive.

1009
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had targets in mind.

1010
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't expect that to happen this year.

1011
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: I don't either. I can see that first two or

1012
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: three days being very quiet.

1013
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: Unless it is some of those you know, hey, we

1014
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: want to get in on this guy now and he

1015
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: wants to do a deal now.

1016
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they love Kushaberry. Yeah. Maybe, you know, Andy, we're

1017
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: willing to pay top market dollar for him. Maybe maybe maybe? Yeah.

1018
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 2: I lean towards what you.

1019
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: Said, yeah, I do too, and we'll see. Maybe you

1020
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: can get that latest sideline apparel or had a jersey

1021
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: of your new Steeler players. How about that you can

1022
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 1: go and look on you know, go to Akershuer Stadium,

1023
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: gro City Premium Mallets or Tanger Outlets or shop online

1024
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: at the shop dot Steelers dot com to get that

1025
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: new jersey. But again, I don't expect that to happen.

1026
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 2: Don't panic, no, don't panic. This a long.

1027
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: This is going to be a process. There might be

1028
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: more guys.

1029
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: More guys getting caught too, Yeah.

1030
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: Because I think this draft is pretty deep. Yeah, especially Yeah,

1031
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: the wide receiver is awesome.

1032
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: Awesome, tackle groups awesome.

1033
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, and so you may see some teams even

1034
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: after the draft like, well, we didn't think we're going

1035
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: to get this guy, and this all of a sudden,

1036
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: now there's a guy on the open market that you

1037
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 1: didn't expect to be there.

1038
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Unfortunately for the players, a lot of guys

1039
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 2: get cut after your position gets drafted in the second round.

1040
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: Oh man, now that Martin they're doing his cap space. Yeah,

1041
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: then he scoop him up.

1042
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's going to do it for today's show.
