Speaker 1: The Action Network Podcast.

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: What's Up? Everybody? Welcome to the Action Network Podcast. I

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: am your host, Evan Abrams, and I am joined by,

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: as always, by Action Network NFL expert Chris Raybond. We're

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: going to give out more draft grades today, but as

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 2: we did last episode, we're doing it a little bit differently,

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: a little bit of categories, some sections. I'll go over

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: them in a second, but first we're gonna do the NFC.

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: We did the AFC last time, so that episode is up.

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: Check it out, and we have we go through every team,

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: all the categories, some fun stuff. But Raybond, what the

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: heck is going on? Man? How are you?

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: What's up?

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Evan? Yeah, we're here for our NFC episode. The AFC

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: one was fun. I think the AFC, you know, just

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: because of all the quarterback drama, had a little with

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: a little more kind of attention grabbing.

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: But I thought the NFC had some under.

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: The radar, really good draft and some some big surprises.

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: So can't wait to talk about it.

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. The only thing I noticed when just literally going

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: through everything is if you look at the running backs

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: that were taking genty at six to the Raiders twenty two,

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: Hampton to the Chargers. Then you went Jenkins, Henderson, Harvey,

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson. If you notice anything, I don't, The first

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: NFC team to take a running back was Skataboo in

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: the fourth round for the Giant. So like the first

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: seven picks, running backs all went to the AFC. Something

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: I just noticed while going through it, but that is

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: exactly the randomness and fun we are going to go

31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: through today. So we are going to do a bunch

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: of categories here. So the first is most impactful picks

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: in the draft. Then we're going to talk about the

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: picks that surprised you the most, then some big misses,

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: and we're going to end with message in a Bottle,

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: which is basically a little bit of prediction on the future. So,

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: like last time, Raybaud, NFC most impactful Picks started off,

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go with.

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: One that's I think it's being criticized by some and

40
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: it's Atlanta. You know, in the first round I actually

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: liked them getting and you know these dual players that

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: they can slot in at the front seven. We know

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: they needed a pass rush in like forever, So they

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: get Jayalen Walker out of Georgia at the fifteenth pick

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: of the first round and then they get James Pearce

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Junior at the twenty six. Now they do trade back

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: up to get him out of Tennessee, but you know,

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: these are two I think potentially high impact players that

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: could make an impact right away. And you know, Atlanta

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: is a team that feels like it has its quarterback

51
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: of the future. They've spent a ton of high draft

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: capital at the skilled positions over the past four years,

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: and the line has been solid on offense, but it's

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: really been about in the defensive trenches. You know, this

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: is kind of this is kind of a reset here

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: with you know, Grady Jarrett, a long time anchor for them,

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, kind of moving on, and they really just

58
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: needed impact players up front and in what I think

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: can could be a wide open division. So I actually

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: think that and it could and it could you know,

61
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of backfire on them as well. But that's why

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: I think this round one hole for Atlanta is going

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: to be very impactful one way or another.

64
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: Again, just like the AFC, my team at the top

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: was the Falcons too, so we did kind of have

66
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: the same read here and it's really surprising they only

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: had five picks and I feel like with those five

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: picks at least definitely in the top three for me

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: and probably top four, they really had impact, right, Like,

70
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: so Walker, Pierce, and Watts are all going to start,

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: I like all three of those picks, and even Bowman

72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: probably be maybe back up to Alford, maybe maybe he

73
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: gets into the mix. He's out there a bunch depending

74
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: on how it goes. But I really listen, I think

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: from the outside looking in, Atlanta had done everything from

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: a skill position point of view, That's the direction they

77
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: had been, you know, draft after draft, so you know,

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: from from Pitts to Robinson, like all all from London, like,

79
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: that was the direction they had. So I think everyone

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: was assuming this was going to be a defensive draft.

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: Would have been fun to be able to maybe try

82
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: to uh gamble on how many defensive players they were

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: going to take, because I think we were all assuming

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: this is the direction, and I think it worked. So

85
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to see how these guys kind of

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: meshed together, and I think they're more of a complete

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: team than they were.

88
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have you know, you have Baits at safety, already,

89
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: have Turell at corner, so you have some some pieces

90
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: that you're kind of building around uh at really each level,

91
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: and so yeah, this this we've been wait, like every

92
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: year they kind of make some moves in the offseason,

93
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: and you know, is this is this gonna turn around

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: the defense? And it very well may not, but I

95
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: thought getting aggressive to to toward that end, especially after

96
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: you know, again four straight years, was it of of

97
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: skill guys in the top ten. Yeah, I can't knock

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: it in. You know, if they if they whiffed on it,

99
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt as well. So I think one way

100
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: or another, this is gonna this is gonna be a

101
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: very impactful draft for Atlanta because once once they traded

102
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: back into the first round, definitely kind of cemented it.

103
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: But it was the right direction. I think they needed

104
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: to do this. So I'm happy to see it and

105
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: let's see how it goes, all, right, Team number two,

106
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: what do you got other Bears?

107
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: I think they're Round one and two a skill position Hall.

108
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: You get two guys who should contribute right away in

109
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: tight end coast in Loveland at the tenth overall pick

110
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: other draft in the first round out of Michigan, and

111
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: then you go with Luther Burden the third out of

112
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Missou early in the second round, a really explosive, kind

113
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: of fun prospect who was really jumping up some people's boards,

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: and some people are really high on him and think

115
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: he was even underrated and could have even been a

116
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: first round prospect. So I think with Ben Johnson, with

117
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams there, and you know, you already got some

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: veterans that are going to kind of make this transition

119
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: a little easier for guys like well Win and Burden.

120
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: You got Cocovette there, you got.

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: DJ Moore there, you got o'doonsay, a top ten prospect,

122
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: that wide receiver from last year, and you rebuilt that

123
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: offensive line. So I think that you put these guys

124
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: in a good spot where that it's not too much pressure,

125
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: but at the same time, they're talented enough that they

126
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: could be major contributors right away. I mean, there's a

127
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: chance that a guy like Burden could be better than odoonsday.

128
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 3: There's a chance that.

129
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: There's a good chance that loved One is going to

130
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: be a more impactful path catcher than.

131
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: Pocavett right off the bat. So yeah, really, I really.

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: Think Chicago being able to go out and address the

133
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: skilled positions because of what they did at the offensive

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: line in the offseason really kind of stood out to me.

135
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially from like a fantasy point of view.

136
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of ways to look at this.

137
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're talking about impactful picks, I mean,

138
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: this is hard not to be. And the Bears are

139
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: also sending a direct message, which is, let's get Caleb

140
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: a little more help, a little more protection. Like the

141
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: focus is all there to make his life a little

142
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: easier based off what they've seen. And you just went

143
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 2: off with all those different names. I mean they have

144
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: a like, you know, there's a lot of skill players

145
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: on this now. So I mean Chicago's going to get

146
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: a lot of love. I think a lot of people

147
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: are going to see what they did in the draft.

148
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: And I even like Turner, Like you know, with that

149
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: fourth pick there at the defensive tackle position, I think

150
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: he's going to be decent. So I even like a

151
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: little bit of help on the defensive side. So some

152
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: people given a little bit of a middle tier grades

153
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: to Chicago, but I like it. So what's your third.

154
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: God be the Eagles.

155
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: They get Jad Campbell at Alabama at one point thirty one,

156
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: and listen this is the guy that they're saying some

157
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: people thought he had top ten talent in the draft.

158
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: Now it's not a premium position necessarily, but I'm hearing

159
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: they might use they might try to use him a

160
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: little bit like Michael Parsons.

161
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: And I just think, you know, how he getting.

162
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: These talented guys from these you know, very established programs

163
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: that just fall into his lap each and every year.

164
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: I just got to give him props because I think

165
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: especially for what the Eagles are and you look at

166
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: their defense and their roster and that they could you know,

167
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: use a guy like this. I just think, you know,

168
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: there there there was a lot of picks that Philly

169
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: had and there maybe wasn't because of where they're picking

170
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: a chance to you know, make too much impact. You know,

171
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: they're coming off a super Bowl whin they have a

172
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: great roster already, but I think this was one of

173
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: those spots where it could have a major impact. And

174
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: it's just just again another example of great a great

175
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: value who could also be an actual difference maker for

176
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: this Eagle team. And then you know they go there

177
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: another team they went defense with their first was it

178
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: four or five picks? Uh, and you know you had Alabama, Texas, Georgia.

179
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're getting guys from very established programs here,

180
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: so it's not it might not jump off the page,

181
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: and maybe the positions, you know, don't jump off the

182
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: page necessarily from for what the Eagles did.

183
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: But number one gotta give some of the benefit of

184
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: the doubt to Howie.

185
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: But number two, I just think getting Campbell, who was

186
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: sliding a little bit, was just a perfect way to

187
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, jumpstart this draft class after coming

188
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: off a Super Bowl win.

189
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm shaking my head because it's just every year,

190
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: and especially like Alabama, this guy was sliding and you

191
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: knew was happening, and then they trade up one slot

192
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, this is this. We know what's

193
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: happening here. I guess the only thing I would say

194
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: is three linebackers, Campbell, London, and Powell Ryland. And I

195
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: like Powell Ryland a lot, but I think it makes

196
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: sense with Dean Heard a little bit. They are seeing

197
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: a need and trying to fill it, and I think

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: Campbell's gonna help a lot there. I like their draft

199
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: and I think Philly does it again. So I mean,

200
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: especially at this point, like you're at the top, you

201
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: just won the Super Bowl, you didn't lose a ton.

202
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: It's time to just add where you don't have, and

203
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: I think they did a good job of that. So

204
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: all right, those are your three. Let me just roll through.

205
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: So at least in the NFC, I have more good

206
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: than I have bad. I seem to just like a

207
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: lot of things in the NFC. So this one was

208
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: a little bit top heavy for me. But I kind

209
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: of just liked Seattle in general. Like I like Zabel,

210
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: I like Emon Worri. I think back to back one

211
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: two really really helpful on both sides of the ball.

212
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: So I mean, aside from that, I can criticize maybe

213
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: one or two things, but at the top, really just

214
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: love what Seattle did athletes everywhere.

215
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: I like the mill down pick as well, you know

216
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: you got yeah, maybe using like Taysom Hill or something

217
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: like that.

218
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I just think at that point quarterbacks, I

219
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: mean it was interesting. I think Shador kind of took

220
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: everything over, and I think you need to take a

221
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: step back and kind of see some of these slots

222
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: that the other quarterbacks went. So I agree Milrose interesting.

223
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: All right, the Rams they had no first round picks

224
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: in six pick got probably four to five second stringers,

225
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: made them deeper all over the place. I think given

226
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: the picks they had, I think they did a good job.

227
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: I like Ferguson at tight end. I think he could

228
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: start possibly next to Higbee or I think he could

229
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: probably be the future there for them, potentially Stuart and

230
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: Chris Paul Junior at linebackers. I thought was also a

231
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: good move for them. I just think based off of

232
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: what they had, they did a good job. Carolina and McMillan,

233
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: I mean I was a McMillan fan for a while.

234
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: We've talked about, you know, some of the plus odds

235
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: him to go top ten. I just think, you know,

236
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: the negatives on him did an out wide way. The

237
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: skill set and the measurables and the things he could

238
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: possibly make Bryce Young's life just easier overall, I mean,

239
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: next to le Guette, Cocher more. Now they've got theeling,

240
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: they've got just like I think they started. Then they

241
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: just bring in Renfro. They have just they have a

242
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: ton of different options that they're just giving Carolina and

243
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: Bryce Young to try to see what works. But I

244
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: think McMillan is right at the top. So I love

245
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: the pick myself. I have two more here Minnesota. I'm

246
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: a fan of Donovan Jackson. I think I think it's

247
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: a good pick at a good slot. You know. I

248
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 2: think it's a need for the team. I think he's

249
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: going to do well protecting JJ and I just think

250
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: it's an impactful pick that will mean something to Minnesota.

251
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: So to me, that's on my list. I think it's

252
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: worth it. I would be curious what you think about that,

253
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: because I think people have a little bit of both

254
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: sides there. But next to Darris on the left side,

255
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna help and ty Felton, I thought

256
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: I can't get a I can't get a good picture there.

257
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: I mean I keep looking at the pick, looking at

258
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: some of the measurables and this and that, like it

259
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: kind of is what it is. They're a little crowded

260
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: in that room. But to me, Jackson's the interesting one.

261
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: Any thought of Minnesota, Yeah, I think they got to

262
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: kind of got criticized just because you know of the

263
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: lack of picks more than you know sure the players themselves,

264
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: but you know it's I don't have a problem with

265
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: any of their picks. I think they've kind of gained

266
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: some of the benefit of the doubt just to you know,

267
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: they they they're a really smart team, well well coached team.

268
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 3: So I think whoever does go there, you know, even probably.

269
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: Some of the late rounders, you know, one of those

270
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: guys could hit even more than we think, you.

271
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: Know, they got.

272
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: They got a couple of guys in round six, Ibacker

273
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: and tight End that that maybe you know, could be

274
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: better that we thought. You got Dawkins on the edge

275
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: in the beginning around five out of Georgia. So I overall,

276
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: they just didn't have them any picks. I think that's

277
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: why they're getting criticized. We'll talk more about Carolina and

278
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: UH and the Rams, because I do I do have

279
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: some alternate thoughts to those to those guys, But as

280
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: far as Minnesota goes, yeah, I just think it's hard

281
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: to fully, you know, come down too hard with them

282
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: either way, because.

283
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: You know, they they really don't.

284
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: They only have that that that one pick late in

285
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: the first and then not another pick until the third,

286
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: and then nothing in the fourth either.

287
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: So just not a lot to go off.

288
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: And my last team, another team with just five picks

289
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 2: was Washington. Did I just didn't. I don't think their

290
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: picks really fit a category for me, so I kind

291
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: of just tossed them here biggest impactful at the end

292
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: because I like Conner Lee and I like Amos. I

293
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: kind of wanted Amos to go first round. We had

294
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: talked about that on the Draft Bets pod. But I

295
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: think they both are good and fit needs for Washington.

296
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: So I think in terms of having an impact, you know,

297
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: I think it makes sense. But again, just five picks

298
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: from Washington, so a little bit of a difficult thing

299
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: to assess. I think the only thing as well has

300
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: cost me, uh tearing is ACL in the playoff game

301
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: against the Lions, so we have to see based off

302
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: of that, which is why I mean, I'm sure they're

303
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: gonna be They were looking offensive line as well, but

304
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: I'll let you roll to pick surprise unless you have

305
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: anything on Washington.

306
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Now I thought Washington, I mean it's you know, they

307
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: don't have many picks. They clearly drafted for needs, so

308
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: it just puts a lot of pressure on them to hit.

309
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: I think I think Connery and Amos were good picks,

310
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: and we'll see about the rest, you know, in terms

311
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: of the value, but there is there is a little

312
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: bit more pressure maybe than we thought it was gonna

313
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: be on Washington the hit early on, even though it

314
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: seemed kind of like, uh, you know, they had some

315
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: they had some different some options.

316
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: But I do like, I do.

317
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Like overall that that you know, you went offensive line

318
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: and cornerback with your first two picks. I think those

319
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: if I was going to pick the positions, I think

320
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: those two would have been the ones, uh.

321
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: That I would have picked for them to address cool

322
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: uh all.

323
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Right, surprising picks. I mean I have to start with

324
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: uh Tyra Shuck out of Louisville Movieville going to the

325
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Saints early second round, went over some uh other quarterback

326
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: prospects that you know, people thought were going to go

327
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: ahead of him. You know, it was an interesting pick

328
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: too because we already you know, your first round pick,

329
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: you kind of paid the offensive line tax a little bit,

330
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: going banks higher than I think up until you know,

331
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: the day of the draft, I don't think anyone had

332
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: Banks going to high. So it was just interesting, you know,

333
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: to take such a big risk again. And then they're saying,

334
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: like Car is not really influencing this, but it's okay,

335
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Well you have Car, you have Ratler, even you still

336
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: have hater on the roster, so like, if this is

337
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: a whiff, this ross has a lot of holes, and

338
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: you already kind of drafted for need in the first round.

339
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: So it was just it was just surprising to me

340
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: that that they went uh.

341
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: That direction with the quarterback, that they did any thoughts

342
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: on unshuck in the Saints and just their draft strategy

343
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: in general.

344
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: Top of my list, he was number one in terms

345
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: of how I was just questionable. I mean we were again,

346
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: it was just we were all caught in the Shador

347
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: whirlwind the tornado. But I think when this one went

348
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: off the board, we said to ourselves, oh boy, what's

349
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: going to happen with Shador? And then everyone was like,

350
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: oh wait, this is actually also just a questionable pick overall.

351
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: So I agree that is a little bit odd. I

352
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: wasn't a fan of his from the start. I think

353
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: listen at pick forty, I think it was a tad

354
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: early for him. I think it was probably best to

355
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: go a little bit late, a little bit later, but

356
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: they saw something they liked and I think they had

357
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: to take a quarterback. It's the same thing as Denver, right,

358
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: we pegged Denver at twenty to take a running back.

359
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: They decided they didn't want him at twenty and then

360
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: they found another running back. Everyone said, oh, they have

361
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: to take Shador at nine. Well, we were sort of right,

362
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: like they didn't need a quarterback. They just liked somebody

363
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: else and waited a little bit and got Banks with him. So,

364
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: you know, I think we just have to wait and see.

365
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: But he's at the top of my list just based

366
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: off of the measurables, let's call it.

367
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and in another team, Uh that I was pretty

368
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: surprised and not necessarily a bad thing, but Green Bay

369
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: going with two wideouts and their first three picks after

370
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, they really haven't done that now, you know,

371
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: I think the thing that was more surprising Number one,

372
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: I didn't expect Golden to fall that far.

373
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: Can't knock the pick. Uh yeah, you like man, Yeah,

374
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 3: I liked him early.

375
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: And then they goes staveing on Williams out of TCU

376
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: in round three at wide receiver. In between they get

377
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: belt Belton out of NC State.

378
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: So you know, for Green Bay.

379
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: It's just did they It does kind of create the

380
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: question mark though, Yeah, you supposedly had four wide receivers

381
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: you liked already on the roster and Jayden Reed, Dan

382
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: Tavian Wix, Romeo Dobbs, and Watson.

383
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: I know is probably gonna miss the year, so maybe

384
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 3: that factored in.

385
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: But I'm just curious as to what the what the

386
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: plan is here, is their trade coming or what you know,

387
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: because you did spend for a team that's kind of

388
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: in that second tier in terms of contenders, really trying

389
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: to make that jump into the elite contender list of

390
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: the the NFC. Uh, and maybe, you know, maybe they

391
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: feel like they're already there, but it just it was

392
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: interesting to just go with the position that you felt like,

393
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: maybe you didn't have any stars, but you definitely had

394
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: some depth at that position, and you had a quarterback

395
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: you felt good about. So you know, curious as to how,

396
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, going with two wide receivers in on the

397
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: first two days of the draft works out for them,

398
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it was just it was just

399
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: a surprising. It was surprising, especially for them to kind

400
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: of double up with Williams, but it was also surprising

401
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: for Golden to fall that far. So just just kind

402
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: of I think the jury's out on Green Bay. I

403
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: don't know if I feel like they necessarily made a

404
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: jump based on this draft, but they were also in

405
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: a position where they were sout all the way around

406
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: and could kind of go with who they felt was

407
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: at the top of their board each pick, so this

408
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: could also be looked back on it as a very

409
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: good draft quest I'm kind of just torn here with

410
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: the Packers, any thoughts.

411
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: I was considering. I mean, they are number two on

412
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: my list here too. I considered making them a big miss.

413
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: I decided not to. I think it's just ironic at

414
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 2: this point, like we waited two decades for Green Bay

415
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: to do this and then they do it when we

416
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: feel like they probably shouldn't. And did they have depth

417
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: at the position? I think Watson was the key one

418
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: you mentioned, like did they do this because he's gone

419
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: and they felt like they, you know, with Dobbs and

420
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: Read and Wix, they needed someone else. Did they see

421
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City take someone really fast and it went well

422
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: and they were like, well, we need to do this.

423
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: Like I just it's just a little odd on the

424
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: Golden pick. And I also have to say he could

425
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: have gone a lot earlier. So it's like, I'm not

426
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: even like debating the draft position because this is where

427
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: he was slated to go. I think I'm just debating

428
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 2: using the capital from green Bay's point of view on

429
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: the pick in general, and then I think if you

430
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: roll back a little bit, I think this Avion Williams

431
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: pick is eh. Like it probably would have been a

432
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: miss for me. I don't love the selection. Maybe I'm wrong,

433
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: but I just don't see it at that position, especially

434
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: when again Green Bay's in a luxury spot like they're

435
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: a little eaglesy, like they've got a bunch of stuff

436
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: they should be trying to get. I think more depth

437
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 2: and better players at different positions in that. Maybe that's

438
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: just me. I'm agreeing with you, Like it's a questionable

439
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 2: draft for green Bay.

440
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: For me, it could work out really well though, because

441
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: things like the Jordan Love pick didn't looked great at

442
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: the time, you know what I mean.

443
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: So I'm not going to completely write it off. And

444
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 3: I do like Golden.

445
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: But the way they kind of use some of the

446
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: that like the early round capital with two guys at

447
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver to go a bunch of different ways for

448
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: a team, that's like right there. Do you ever watch

449
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: sports and find yourself wishing there was a way to

450
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: get into the game with Underdog finally a way to

451
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: make picks on sports without leaving the crib. The game

452
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: is in your hands to play. Choose whether a player

453
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: will go higher or lower than one of their stats.

454
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: We're talking touchdowns, strikeouts, points scored, all that good stuff.

455
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: They've got all your favorite leagues, teams and stars to

456
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: choose from. Create entries with all NFL picks, or mix

457
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: and match across other sports. You can play with as

458
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: little as one dollar and if you get everything right,

459
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: you can win up to one thousand times your money.

460
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: So turn one dollar into a thousand just with your

461
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: sports knowledge. And Underdog is really really fun for the

462
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: amount of sports that they have every single day you

463
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: can kind of choose to mix and match from.

464
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: And I also really.

465
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: Love their best Ball product as well. It's my favorite

466
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: one I've been playing all off season. Tend to have

Speaker 2: So you are in your lane. I can't wait to

490

Speaker 2: start seeing your stuff and start tailing all your crap.

491
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: All right, two more people for me on this list,

492
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go through this one very quickly because

493
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 2: you're gonna hit on him again in a second. A

494
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: mecha Buka I just think is a surprising pick on

495
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: a few levels. I mean, when you look into it

496
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: a little bit more, when you look at the contracts,

497
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 2: you look at you know, some of those things that

498
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: you know maybe one year, two year, mentor and then

499
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: Evans or God wins somewhere else, like it's all possible.

500
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: It just felt like, again kind of like Green Bay,

501
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: it was like you could have used this pick on

502
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 2: something else. I think you're gonna have more of an

503
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 2: opinion on this in a second, so I'm gonna leave

504
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: it there. And then my last one. I mean, it's

505
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: a surprise just based off of I guess, the prospect

506
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: itself and how much he slid. But I thought Will

507
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 2: Johnson was a little bit of a surprise, Like we

508
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: had been talking about him as the number one corner.

509
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: I think a few days before the draft we started

510
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: to realize his slip and we saw Baron kind of

511
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 2: moving up boards and we assumed that he might go

512
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: second at that point. But at forty seven, I think

513
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: it's just surprising. I think it could be a really

514
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: good pick for Arizona. So I would be closer to

515
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: put him on Impactful than I would on Big Miss.

516
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: But to me, he fits the surprising category. Any thoughts

517
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: on both of those?

518
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was just how far he slid

519
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: was a little bit surprising, just because of where he

520
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: was for the majority of the offseason as that cornerback one.

521
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe you saw that late steam on Barrett,

522
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, he still fell pretty far. But this is

523
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: one of those draft classes which could be very I

524
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: guess impactful. He hits because this is this is another

525
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: one of these teams that went defense with their first

526
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: five picks.

527
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 3: You know, so.

528
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: They got Kawer, Murray, Harrison was kind of disappointing, but

529
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: you feel like the offense should be should be solid.

530
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: You didn't add any you didn't add any more weapons

531
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: to the offense. You know, so you have some blue

532
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: chips guys in McBride. You feel like, you know the

533
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: running back situations in good hands. You feel like Harrison

534
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: should come on at wide receiver and Murray should.

535
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 3: You know, maybe that he hasn't.

536
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: Played his best football yet, but uh, it's just interesting

537
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: to me that, you know, defense, they just went all

538
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: in on defense, So this could it can look really

539
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: good or it could they could just kind of stay

540
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: in their purgatory.

541
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: If if they whiff on some of these picks.

542
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: So I think this is another one that will be

543
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: impactful one way or another. It's just you know, the

544
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: jury's out whether it be uh, purely positive or it

545
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: could be negative as well.

546
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a full package. I kind of like what

547
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: Arizona did. I like with three of the four NFC

548
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: West teams did. And that's a tease for a little

549
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: bit later, Big missus, So what do you got here?

550
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: Roll off some teams.

551
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: So I didn't like the Carolina draft. I didn't like

552
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: and again I did with Tech McMillan. I think it's

553
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: more so that obviously there were the questions about you know,

554
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: you know, some like his dedication and this and that.

555
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know if we're just still at a

556
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: point in in the NFL where we need to be

557
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: taking wide receiver prospects like him at at the spot

558
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: that Carolina did. And I do know that Carolina tried

559
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: really hard to trade out of that number eight pick,

560
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: to the point where they were they were offering, reportedly

561
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: offering discounts, you know, to get out of number eight,

562
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: probably because I think McMillan may have been available a

563
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: little bit later than we thought, especially if Tampa Bay

564
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: had a BUKA higher than everyone else on the board.

565
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: And I mean, you know, if Dallas stayed the wide

566
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: receiver too, you know, you never know, it could have

567
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: been McMillan and Golden on the board for Green Bay

568
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: wait in the first round. So I just think I

569
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: don't think I think they they would have ideally liked

570
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: to trade out. I think they would have ideally like

571
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: to address the defensive side of the ball then, but uh,

572
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: they kind of looked at you know, they kind of

573
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: looked at the board and said, Okay, well if we're

574
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: staying here. You know, based on if it was that

575
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: hard to trade out of, I guess that that eighth

576
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 1: pick they were figuring, all right, we're probably gonna this

577
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: is this is kind of what we're gonna do here,

578
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: And they kind of put the trying to fill a

579
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: need out of But it's like another thing I have

580
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: an issue I have with the pick is Carolina is

581
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: one of those teams that they don't really have that

582
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: that guy that keeps you up at night if you're

583
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, right, Like, they have a bunch of

584
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: solid guys all like you know, Tuba Hubbard and uh,

585
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: you know that that receiving core even before you know

586
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: you had to get and you had Cocher came on.

587
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: But I thought they could have actually used more of

588
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: an Abuka or a Matthew Golder type of type of player, like,

589
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, just some somebody that's a little bit more

590
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: explosive versus I know what you're going for. Yeah, I

591
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,239
Speaker 1: know what they're going for, you know, wide receiver, one

592
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna catch, who could test the passes, and

593
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: it could just be fine. But I just think at this,

594
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: at that draft capital bal excuse me, at that draft

595
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: capital capital, and with knowing that they wanted to trade out,

596
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: knowing that they really had a need on the edge,

597
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: and there were edge rushers available there, high end edge rushers,

598
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: and then they end up going and taking you know,

599
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: edge rushers. You know, they double up in round day two,

600
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: and you just wonder, do they kind of feel like

601
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: their hand was forced a little bit because of what

602
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: they did here? So I just think it could all

603
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: work out in the end, But I would have just

604
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: based on the type of player, based on where we went,

605
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: based on what we know about what they were trying

606
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: to do with the pick and based on their needs

607
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: that that draft class was a miss for me.

608
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: For Carolina, I.

609
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: Think all you're saying is, I think all you're saying

610
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: is is that you would prefer them to do like

611
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: mikeel Williams and Luther Burden versus like like do it

612
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 2: a little bit different, right, right, like get the position

613
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: somewhere else. All right? Talk about Abuka because I think

614
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: this one's fascinating.

615
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so listen.

616
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: I like the player, but I still have to grade

617
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: this as a miss for Tampa Bay because I think,

618
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, just given their offensive infrastructure and what they've

619
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: shown over the past couple of years, you know, coaches

620
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: moving on and it keeps rugging. I think they could

621
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: have also afforded to weight on wide receiver, picked up

622
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: one of those higher upside prospects on Day two or

623
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: three and he would have kind of flipped right in.

624
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: But instead they go and Abuka. Also, let's not forget

625
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: at nineteen, he was probably a reach compared to most

626
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: teams draft boards as well, and most draft boards that

627
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: we saw had him going at the highest in the

628
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: In the early to mid twenties, I don't think wide

629
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: receiver was a major need, and I know this team is.

630
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, they had an amazing offense last year, but

631
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: I just thought, you know, given how well their offense

632
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: played and already and what they've had in position in

633
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: the depth of the draft at running back and receiver

634
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: later on, they could have just addressed the skill positions

635
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: a little bit later and gone with a guy like

636
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: like they could have used a guy like Jude Barron

637
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: at corner they I think they ended up going up

638
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: a corner later on. They could have even a guy

639
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: like Harmon like you know got they were just I

640
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: think impact players on defense that they passed up one

641
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: because they really liked this wide receiver. And it's not

642
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: a knock on the wide receiver, but just based on

643
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, where he went, based on team need, based

644
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: on who they passed up, and then based on how

645
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: they kind of addressed the draft later on, where it

646
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: looks like then they drafted really strongly for need down

647
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: the line, I would have I don't. I don't like

648
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: how they started it off going with the BOOKA at nineteen.

649
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's the same discussion they take cornerback

650
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: with Morrison and Parrish after Abuka, and then the question

651
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 2: you have is all right, at nineteen, Abuka goes, then

652
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: Baron goes at twenty, and Harmon at twenty one. So

653
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: it was just like, you know, could you have taken

654
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: one of those two guys and then found a burden

655
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: or something like that. It's the same question as we

656
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: just had with Carolina. It's just you decided to take

657
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: this player and then you win another direction. I don't

658
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: mind Morrison in Parish, like, I think both of them

659
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: will be just fine at their positions, and they were

660
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: rated fine as well. Like, I don't hurt the picks.

661
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: It's just it's a preference draft and I think we've

662
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: been talking about that for weeks. Okay, who is your

663
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: third slot here?

664
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so again I think we disagree with on this.

665
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: I just wasn't overly impressed with the Rams. I know that,

666
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, they felt like they got a really good

667
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: offer to get come out of the first round, and

668
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: then you know they go with Titan Terrence Ferguson out

669
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: of Oregon with their first pick of the draft in

670
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: the middle of round two. So listen for a team

671
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: like the Rams that you're on kind of a you're

672
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: in muscling mode, but you're definitely you're definitely not in

673
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: that top tier of contenders. I just thought that maybe

674
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: they didn't come away with enough, and you pointed out

675
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 1: that they did take some good prospects, you know, on

676
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: Day three. But again you're putting a lot of pressure

677
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: and they've they've hit in the pass on some of

678
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: these guys, so you do give them some of the

679
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt here. I won't argue with that,

680
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: but I do think that for a team that's trying

681
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: to contend right now that still has consistently found themselves

682
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: like a tier below that top tier ever since that

683
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl win a couple of years ago, you know,

684
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: to start out tight end and running back with two

685
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: of their top three picks, no round one pick, it

686
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: just puts a lot of pressure on the on the

687
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: other guys you drafted to be really good.

688
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: So I just I think I think there's more downside

689
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: than maybe METI with with the Rams draft class.

690
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a role player draft for them,

691
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: And I think you can knock that all you want,

692
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: because I guess you're right, like there's you know, pretty close.

693
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: They were close last year and they should be trying

694
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: to draft more impactful players. But the Rams always seem

695
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: to make these types of decisions, so it's like I

696
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: can't even really get in the way of what they're doing. Okay,

697
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: so let me go through a few of my misses.

698
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: I just I mean, we said this on our recap

699
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna say it again, But like Tyler, Booker,

700
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: just feels a tad early for them, especially when we

701
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: have been talking I'm talking about the Cowboys. I just

702
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: feel like there was another option there. Maybe it was Golden,

703
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: maybe it was I wanted a skill player on that

704
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 2: team versus you know, obviously, retirements, you know, free agency,

705
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: like all certain things made them probably think they needed

706
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: the position and they did. I just he was valued

707
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: in like the twenties, twenty mid twenties. I just felt

708
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: like it was a tad early for him. So that's

709
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: number one. I kind of feel like the forty nine

710
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: Ers draft after Williams is questionable. So like I like

711
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: the Williams pick. I understand it playing on that line

712
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: and listen, they got eleven draft picks, so there is

713
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: plenty of chances for them to hit on someone. But

714
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: I just think like Stout was a little bit of

715
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: a reach. I don't love Collins, so like, I don't

716
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: love the Niners draft after that, but they have plenty

717
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: of players to prove me wrong going forward. I have

718
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: won more. But any thoughts on those two.

719
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I thought I was gonna hate dallas

720
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: Is a lot more than I did.

721
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: I think they I just think he's a reach, Like

722
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: I just I didn't. You know, sometimes you go, you know,

723
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: the fan base wants the skill player, they pick up

724
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 2: someone else, the fan base is upset, but in reality,

725
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: the position that they picked up was a good pick, right,

726
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 2: Like it helps this, It helps that. I just don't

727
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 2: know if I feel that way about Booker, but maybe

728
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 2: I'm wrong.

729
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: I mean, when you consider it, so I think in retrospect,

730
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: like looking at the whole board, if you like, if

731
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: you knew that Zabel was going to go eighteenth and

732
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: then Jackson twenty fourth, you know, I think they might have.

733
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: They probably just properly valued Booker. I think I think,

734
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: look at it, he was kind of looked at because

735
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, Guard is necessarily like a premium pick.

736
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 3: He was a little bit down on people's boards.

737
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: But I think in terms of like floor, I think

738
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: they got a rock I would pick.

739
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 3: And then I.

740
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: Thought, really the first three players, and Dallas tends to

741
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: do well drafting, like not necessarily going with consensus, but

742
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: just going with kind of the best guys on the

743
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: board and wedding wedding things kind of.

744
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: Play out like.

745
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: Draft tends to not be Dallas's issue of they have

746
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: issues when it comes to you know, management in person.

747
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 3: But drafts. So I'll give them a little bit of

748
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: a benefit of doubt.

749
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: And I will say after seeing like Zabel and Jackson

750
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: go where they did, it probably looks a little better.

751
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: So and then seeing Golden fall for example, well so

752
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: uh and even Hampton fell a couple of spots from

753
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: where you know teams had Dallas taken him as well.

754
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I mean you would like to have

755
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: come out of the draft with more impact.

756
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 2: Skill guys, and that's what I was looking for.

757
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that I think in a draft like

758
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: this where there were those even if you did start

759
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: the draft the way you did for Dallas, I think

760
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: there was there were opportunities still to do that, and

761
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: that's where maybe where you could criticize them, But I'm

762
00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: I'm at peace.

763
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 3: Their first first three picks. I think their first three

764
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: picks are pretty solid.

765
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Azaraku, Revel Blue. I think they're all fine.

766
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 2: I just I think Booker was a tad really, So

767
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 2: that's the pick I would scrutinize it. And it was first,

768
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: all right, the last team I'll mention here, And this

769
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: is a little controversial because I mean, they tend to

770
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: draft their guys, but Isaac Taslaw is a guy for

771
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: Detroit that they traded up for. I believe they traded

772
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: three third round picks to come up. To me, it

773
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: was just a little bit early for a position that

774
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: is sort of a need but sort of not. It

775
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: felt a little bit odd to me. So that was

776
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: one that I had kind of looked at that I

777
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: thought was a little strange, and I've seen some tape.

778
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: I went on the measure, I looked at the measurables,

779
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: like he's a good receiver. It just felt like an

780
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: interesting trade up situation. So that was my last one.

781
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're kind of a position of power,

782
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, they can kind of do this kind of thing,

783
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: and they tend to know offense.

784
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: So turned out to too much.

785
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was like, they're

786
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: going to prove me wrong, and he's just going to

787
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 2: be fantastic. I just felt like, you know, trading up

788
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: in that slot felt a little odd. There were other

789
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: receivers I might have preferred at seventy. But that's it.

790
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,479
Speaker 2: So those are my big misses. And now let's finish here.

791
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: So message in a bottle, And if you weren't in

792
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: last episode, it's simple. We are bearing a bottle. We'll

793
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: bring it up in ten years. We have to write

794
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: two names on the bottle. A player who will be

795
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: good to great and we will consider a good to

796
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: great draft pick, and a player who will be considered

797
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: either a bust or someone we overvalued at their draft position.

798
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: Rayba will let you go first hit it.

799
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 3: ABDW. Carter, edge rusher for the New York Giants.

800
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: Now, the reason I say at Carter is because cam Ward,

801
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: that number one, almost universally wasn't considered the best prospect

802
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: in the class.

803
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: So he could have been overdrafted.

804
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: Even if he was, it makes sense based on team

805
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: need for Tennessee and all that stuff. And then when

806
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: you look at what the Jaguars gave up to go

807
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: and get Travis Hunter, you know that that could be

808
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, that could kind of skew that a little bit,

809
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: so I think it was why we looked at that.

810
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: It was you know, Hunter and Carter along with you know,

811
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: maybe Genti were the top three. Maybe you had Graham

812
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: in there as the fourth guy, but like those were

813
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: the blue chip prospects in this class. And I think

814
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: the Giants or ended up being a team that really

815
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: didn't pay any type of tax. Right, they didn't pay

816
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback tax, and they didn't pay the trade up tax,

817
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: and they still got a blue chip prospect of three.

818
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 3: They didn't They didn't.

819
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: Make the mistake of you know, people had them taking

820
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: Shador here. He ended up lasting to the fifth round.

821
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: So they didn't make a mistake by grabbing a quarterback

822
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: too early. They avoided all these things and they got

823
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: one of the few blue chip prospects in this class

824
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: didn't didn't pay any tax. So I think that that

825
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: pick stands out to me.

826
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 2: Okay, I go go to your other one, then I'll

827
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 2: get my two.

828
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 3: Okay.

829
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: So for the a guy who will be considered either

830
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: robust or someone way overvalued, I gotta go with McMillan.

831
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: I just think you could have gone a different route.

832
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: I think I don't think this type of player at

833
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver is just valued as much.

834
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 3: I think it's much more.

835
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: It's trending toward that that worthy type of player who

836
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: even if he doesn't have all of the you know,

837
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: the the things you tend to look for in a prospect,

838
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: it's just that speed kind of out outweighs at all.

839
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: And I think for Carolina, a team that didn't really

840
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: have that speed prospect, that guy in the roster, that

841
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: that's going to play a ton of snaps for them,

842
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: at least as it looks right now, that that that's

843
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: going to keep coordinators up at night. I just think

844
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: that they you might look back at, say, McMillan's the

845
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: guy that you could have gotten on day two or

846
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: something like that.

847
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, McMillan for me, if you look.

848
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: At the top ten, and I'm just gonna mention this

849
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: on McMillan, he is probably the easiest one to select.

850
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: To say, maybe in ten years he wasn't the best

851
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: pick because I feel like a lot of other people

852
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: are at positions that they should have some production, while

853
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: I think McMillan's is, you know, high upside, but also

854
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: there's a basement there, all right, My players I'll start

855
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: with the good. I mean, Campbell is an easy one

856
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: to me to probably say in a bunch of years

857
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: he's going to be great for the Eagles, because how

858
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: could he not. The other ones were Im and Moory.

859
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: I love that pick for Seattle. I liked Amos for Washington.

860
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: I even liked Revel for Dallas and Watts. I liked

861
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 2: a lot of the secondaries in the NFC. I thought

862
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 2: some of those picks are good. I will land on

863
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: em and worry. I think that pick for Seattle will

864
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: be good in that high second, in that low second round,

865
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: I think it'll just look good over time. I think

866
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: it'll be a good pick. On the bad side, I'm

867
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: not going to say Booker because I just don't think

868
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: it's that bad. And I think a guard like that will,

869
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 2: you know, plugging into a position of need is just

870
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: going to be fine for Dalla versus great. I think

871
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: it's probably Shuck from New Orleans. Like I think you'll

872
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: look back and say they probably could have won another

873
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: direction to quarterback. You know, car or car will work

874
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: or won't work, And I just don't know if Shuck's

875
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: the answer. So those are my two picks. Any thoughts

876
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 2: on that and then you can get us out of here.

877
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean New Orleans.

878
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: I think they they're going to have They're one of

879
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: the most interesting teams because again they even in the

880
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: first round, they may have paid the taxes.

881
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: On the old line that's true to go shuck.

882
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: And then they went not only did they go quarterback

883
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: early and I drafted where quarterbacks slid. They I mean

884
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: they did go to be to be fair that you know,

885
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: he is considered a pro ready guy. So but that's

886
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: that's also interesting because.

887
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 3: It's like where are you. It's you had a lot

888
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 3: of holes?

889
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: Are you trying to play this guy right away? And

890
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: then was he just kind of like did car influence

891
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: it after all? So just a lot of question marks

892
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: for me with New Orleans. But I can't say I'm

893
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: super optimistic right now, especially with uh, you know, the Bucks.

894
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: Still even even after that that Abuka pick that I

895
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: don't love, I mean, their offense is still gonna be

896
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: tough to stop. Uh Carolina is only going to get

897
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: better and in Atlanta may have may have.

898
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 3: Solved their their defensive issues. So New Orleans in a

899
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 3: tough spot.

900
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Buka and McMillan axt to each other even

901
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 2: without Evans, and Godwin is yuh so they'll be good.

902
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get out of here now. That has

903
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,880
