Speaker 1: It is Thursday, March. This is Jack Bars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours presented by Duval Motor Company. And now
Speaker 1: a guy who finished just behind Marvin Jones Jr. On
Speaker 1: American Idol. J P. Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour on
Speaker 1: this Thursday. Yes, I am j P. Shadrick. Jeff Lockman
Speaker 1: is along with us today and we have a busy
Speaker 1: program ahead. Free agency review. Some of the new faces,
Speaker 1: new names for the Jaguars, will go through, some of
Speaker 1: those with logs and maybe a quarterback on the move.
Speaker 1: At some point, we'll discuss the rumors around Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: NFL media reporter Judy Batista schedule to join us in
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes. Will get a big scope view of
Speaker 1: things going on around the NFL and her thoughts of
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars have done the last a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Jaguars reporter Ashland Sullivan on the schedule at four thirty today.
Speaker 1: She had some sit down conversations with some of the
Speaker 1: new Jaguars and we'll get some highlights from her of
Speaker 1: those conversations, and we'll go around the National Football League
Speaker 1: as we always do. Jeff Loghman, Good afternoon, what's up.
Speaker 1: It's all good, JP. The Jaguars are rolling in free
Speaker 1: agency right now. Yes, a lot of new guys here, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of new guys. But it's the
Speaker 1: I don't want to say the rebuild of the retooling
Speaker 1: of the roster, I think is what was needed to
Speaker 1: add some veteran presence and some some guys that have
Speaker 1: been proven and uh and I like that aspect of it.
Speaker 1: And and the beautiful part of that is is that
Speaker 1: you're creating competition at as many places as you can,
Speaker 1: and that's what makes teams better. They you know, early
Speaker 1: in free agent, the first day or what ever, the
Speaker 1: negotiation windows open um. I think Jake fans on on
Speaker 1: social media are starting to freak out a little bit
Speaker 1: that they're not signing anybody. What's going on, They're not
Speaker 1: getting the big name tight ends, like what's happening? And
Speaker 1: then after a couple of days you realize, Okay, there's
Speaker 1: a different approach here. They might have wanted one of
Speaker 1: those tight ends, but they're not gonna spend twenty eight
Speaker 1: million dollars to go get one. Well, I think Urban
Speaker 1: alluded to that, and he was talking about how a
Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, you you like to find
Speaker 1: or get guys. Then all of a sudden you find
Speaker 1: out that the asking prices, you know, twenty eight million
Speaker 1: a year or whatever. Forgotten he he was kind of
Speaker 1: exaggerating obviously by saying twenty eight million. But we get
Speaker 1: his point, you know, and that, uh, you gotta compete,
Speaker 1: and this is not college football, and he knew, he
Speaker 1: knows that, and everybody knows that it's about the almighty dollar.
Speaker 1: And then when the dollars are similar, then certain things
Speaker 1: can come into play, like who the coach is, where
Speaker 1: the market is, how successful a team is, and all
Speaker 1: those other things factor in. But but make no mistake
Speaker 1: about it. To go back to one of the famous
Speaker 1: movie quotes, ever, show me the money. Yes, it's all
Speaker 1: about the dollars. Yes, I've been in free agency and
Speaker 1: look and and I can tell you, you know, in
Speaker 1: order to have a conversation, the conversation needs to be
Speaker 1: started by money. Then you can progress. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have some breaking news, some Jaguars breaking news that
Speaker 1: has just happened. The Jaguars have resigned defensive end Adam Gotsis.
Speaker 1: He's back six four two eighty seven pounder and played
Speaker 1: in all sixteen games and started fourteen last year for
Speaker 1: the Jags, thirty seven tackles, four tackles for lost, three
Speaker 1: passes defense. He was in Denver before that. He's from
Speaker 1: Australia and went to Georgia Tech, so he has been resigned.
Speaker 1: He's got a great accent. Yes, love listening to the
Speaker 1: guy talking. Uh, you know, how do you play? Last year?
Speaker 1: For you? I thought he was solid, and I thought
Speaker 1: that coming out of training camp you could tell that
Speaker 1: his knee wasn't quite a hundred percent. But as this
Speaker 1: season kind of wore on, he got a little bit better,
Speaker 1: a little bit stronger, and uh, you know, with with
Speaker 1: the Joe Colin defensive coordinator, you're gonna see obviously some
Speaker 1: principles of the three four, and I think Adam Gotsis
Speaker 1: fits will fit that role of being able to play
Speaker 1: in a three four or four three. I think it
Speaker 1: fits into a t I'm not saying he's gonna become
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. That's not gonna happen, but I think
Speaker 1: he's a good, solid rotational player. It feels like some
Speaker 1: of these other signings in the trade and there are
Speaker 1: guys that can play in both fronts if needed, right,
Speaker 1: I mean that they have multiple places they can play
Speaker 1: on the line, So versatility is key for Joe Colin
Speaker 1: on defense. I think we also in another well, the
Speaker 1: one thing I think that they did pretty good in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: They had some guys that fit the four three better
Speaker 1: and some that fit the three four better, and they
Speaker 1: were able to rotate them kind of in waves. And
Speaker 1: if you were a better fit for the four three,
Speaker 1: then when they went to a four or three, you
Speaker 1: were playing and and the guy that was better in
Speaker 1: a three four, he was sitting on the bench and
Speaker 1: then backing up that role as far as playing in
Speaker 1: that other defense. So you know, look, most of the
Speaker 1: defenses nowadays have become interchangeable for the most part, a
Speaker 1: lot of the principles because you know, we've got we
Speaker 1: get this question every year, you know, should the Jaguars
Speaker 1: play three four? If you look at teams that play
Speaker 1: a three four, A lot of teams that play the
Speaker 1: three four in the National Football League now are playing
Speaker 1: the three four with principles of the four three. So
Speaker 1: it's not like the old school three four where you've
Speaker 1: got head up defensive ends and you've got this zero technique,
Speaker 1: head up, nose tackle. It's just they don't play that
Speaker 1: way anymore when teams are playing the three four some
Speaker 1: of the other editions. Of course, you know, defensive line
Speaker 1: was priority number two for Urban my arena after quarterback
Speaker 1: in the off season, and we'll get the quarterback coming up.
Speaker 1: So they did a lot of work there on the
Speaker 1: defensive line. The secondary, of course, a killed griffin Rashon
Speaker 1: Jenkins added, and then a wide receiver and Irban Meyer
Speaker 1: after the first wave of free agency when they added
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Philip Dorsett, Meyer said, of course he
Speaker 1: likes those additions, but he does love the players that
Speaker 1: are in place. But the one position I've been pleased with,
Speaker 1: and I actually when I first started watching the Jaguars
Speaker 1: is DJ Shark and Lavisca are two guys, and I
Speaker 1: think you can build their young They've I've spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time with them. They've been in to see me.
Speaker 1: They're anxious, they're ready to go. I hired an excellent
Speaker 1: receiver coach in san Jay lal Uh. That position is
Speaker 1: going to be a huge part of our offense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd say, And then they had the two guys they
Speaker 1: did in free agency, lugs in Marvin Jones and Philip
Speaker 1: Dorset to go with Shark and Channault and Colin Johnson.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good five right there, by the way, Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's solid. Uh, Philip Dorset, to me, he's
Speaker 1: got a lot to prove. I mean, he's fast, but
Speaker 1: can you be a good wide receiver. I mean he's
Speaker 1: yet to prove that where he can be a dominant
Speaker 1: force in in the National Football League. Bounced around a lot.
Speaker 1: When a guy bounces around a lot, that means that
Speaker 1: there's some questions about him, but there is reason to
Speaker 1: be excited. Laviska Chanlt young player that that you liked
Speaker 1: what he did last year. Colin Johnson, who I I
Speaker 1: still believe has more upside than Laviska Chanalt. He's a
Speaker 1: big guy, he's got speed, he gets great separation. So, uh,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of guys. And I think
Speaker 1: the one category and the why and I think the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position is good, but it's not set by
Speaker 1: any means. They said a little more work, Well, a
Speaker 1: little more work, and there's gonna be a little bit
Speaker 1: more work when you get into the draft. And uh,
Speaker 1: and but you you. You really need to find what
Speaker 1: I what I would term the easy targets for your quarterback.
Speaker 1: And you still got work to do in that area.
Speaker 1: And that's tight end and running back. And when I
Speaker 1: say running back, I'm not talking about a guy that
Speaker 1: can carry the rock on first and second down. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about a guy that can make defensive coordinators hold
Speaker 1: their breath. How are we gonna cover this guy? Are
Speaker 1: we gonna cover them with a safety, We're gonna cover
Speaker 1: them with a corner, or we're gonna cover them with
Speaker 1: a linebacker. Because if you have a great running back
Speaker 1: who's great out of the backfield, that stresses a defense
Speaker 1: in a big way. And as as I said, it's
Speaker 1: an easy target for your quarterback. Tight ends and running
Speaker 1: backs are easy targets for a young quarterback. If you're

Speaker 1: the Quarterback Room. Speaking of throwing the ball around, they've
Speaker 1: added a quarterback. This week, c J. Bethard was signed.
Speaker 1: He is from San Francisco. Two years, five million dollar
Speaker 1: deal to and ten record as a starter in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Passer logs thirty five yards or so in his career,
Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns and thirteen picks. A third round pick back
Speaker 1: in out of Iowa. So the Jaguar's quarterback room at
Speaker 1: the moment is c J. Bethard, Jake Luton Gardner, Minshew.
Speaker 1: That's alphabetical order. By the way, I first of all,
Speaker 1: his grandfather. I have a huge debt of gratitude for
Speaker 1: Bobby Bethard. When I was coming out as a college player,
Speaker 1: was the general manager of the Washington Redskins, and uh
Speaker 1: and through a friend of a friend, my dad, my family,
Speaker 1: we were able to ask Bobby a lot of questions
Speaker 1: about agents, the NFL, the process of the draft, and
Speaker 1: he was incredibly helpful to me. And so uh big
Speaker 1: thank you to Bobby. And obviously Bobby his which is
Speaker 1: CJ's grandfather, is a Hall of Famer. So uh so
Speaker 1: I like him already because I know he comes from
Speaker 1: good people. And I got a text from a friend
Speaker 1: of mine and I shared it with you earlier a
Speaker 1: friend of mine that lives in Iowa, and he said, uh,
Speaker 1: in his text, he's at first and foremost. I want
Speaker 1: to tell you that you guys got a stand up
Speaker 1: quality guy first and foremost. And then he started talking
Speaker 1: about you know, he's smart, he's got strong arm, tough
Speaker 1: as nails, great team player, and these are all the
Speaker 1: things that you need for a team that's expected to
Speaker 1: draft the future of the franchise, somebody that's a team player,
Speaker 1: and somebody that can help a young quarterback along because
Speaker 1: he himself is smart. But he but it's not just
Speaker 1: about having hiring another coach. You gotta have a guy
Speaker 1: that can play, and certainly c. J. Bethor has proven
Speaker 1: that he has some traits that are pretty strong. You know,
Speaker 1: the name has been floating out there a lot in
Speaker 1: the last few weeks with the Jack's quarterback backup situation
Speaker 1: was Alex Smith, Right. I mean that that was the
Speaker 1: big cons jumping to conclusions a little bit because of
Speaker 1: the past connection, and that was the name is out there.
Speaker 1: So you think c. J. Bethard is is the veteran
Speaker 1: quarterback he's going to be. He can't be, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't go after somebody else. Does this
Speaker 1: stop you from signing Alex Smith? No? Could it? Sure?
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. Do you want to pay? What
Speaker 1: is Alex Smith gonna cost? I mean the backups right
Speaker 1: now have been going for ball park three three and
Speaker 1: a half million in some cases maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: more than that, but not many. With Alex's um injury history,
Speaker 1: does he go past that? I don't think so. You know,
Speaker 1: so he would probably cost him that rain. So I
Speaker 1: mean could he interested? You know, he might not even
Speaker 1: be interested? I mean Alex Smith. I mean, look, when
Speaker 1: you come back and you fight back from what he had,
Speaker 1: do you want to come back just to be a
Speaker 1: backup or you want to come back and be a starter?
Speaker 1: You know? Look, I I get if he wants to
Speaker 1: be a starter, but the starter jobs are drying up.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that means for for Alex Smith,
Speaker 1: but I think the writing is on the wall for
Speaker 1: Gardner minshow that was gonna be the next question? What
Speaker 1: does that mean for the must day? I think I
Speaker 1: think that he's not going to be a Jaguar sooner
Speaker 1: rather than later. Or well, I mean, first of all,
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to get anything that you can for him,
Speaker 1: even if it's a biscuit. I mean, because look, you
Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to cut a player
Speaker 1: if you can get something for him. And uh, and
Speaker 1: I think that that this does mean that Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: is gonna be gone. I didn't talk to anybody that
Speaker 1: told me that either. That's just what I infer when
Speaker 1: you sign a C. J. Bethard, when you have another
Speaker 1: young quarterback who has some of the physical traits that
Speaker 1: you wanted, a quarterback, young, strong, arm, tall, can see
Speaker 1: the pocket, can see the field, and that's what you have,
Speaker 1: and a young player in Jake Lewton, then I think
Speaker 1: that it would probably be time to move on from
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. And look, I hope he gets an opportunity
Speaker 1: to go somewhere, and I hope he gets an opportunity
Speaker 1: to play and compete because here he's not getting that.
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer called him a competitive maniac talking about it
Speaker 1: and and and there's nothing wrong with that, and uh
Speaker 1: urban Meyer and I I anybody that's in the position
Speaker 1: of urden Meyer is gonna do nothing but praise and
Speaker 1: compliment any player that they have on their roster, even
Speaker 1: if they want to look at trading them just because
Speaker 1: you certainly don't want to make any other comments. You
Speaker 1: want to build up any of the resources that you
Speaker 1: have so that you can get the top amount and
Speaker 1: return eventually if you'd like to trade them. And and like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna let c J, Bethred
Speaker 1: and Garnerment should compete. They might, they might, they might.
Speaker 1: Uh for me, I don't see that happening. Let's come back.
Speaker 1: Plenty of show ahead. We'll return with NFL Network reporter

Speaker 1: Griffin Jaguar's cornerback and welcome back Jaguars, Happy our j
Speaker 1: P Shadrick, Jeff Lagman Jaguars has been busy in free agency.
Speaker 1: And somebody who's always busy on NFL Network and NFL
Speaker 1: Media is our good friend Judy Batista. Has been with
Speaker 1: the network since twenty long time with The New York
Speaker 1: Times before that. Judy, it's great to see you and
Speaker 1: talk to you. How are you guys everything here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're We're hanging in there. It's a lot of new
Speaker 1: faces around the Jaguars these days. And you know, Irvin
Speaker 1: Meyer got his first taste of NFL business the last
Speaker 1: couple weeks um, you know, and he was asked, you know,
Speaker 1: this is not like recruiting where you get everybody on
Speaker 1: your list. You know, when all of a sudden, that
Speaker 1: guy on your list cost twenty eight million dollars, it's
Speaker 1: almost a welcome to the NFL type moment. Juddy, Well,
Speaker 1: I loved this that he thought the system was terrible,
Speaker 1: that just signing these guys two big contracts and guys
Speaker 1: you've never met before, you've never looked in the eye.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's right, the system is terrible, but you know,
Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL. I mean, this is this is
Speaker 1: what it's like. It's not like being at Florida and
Speaker 1: Ohio State, that's for sure, Judy. Sometimes we and Jacksonville
Speaker 1: can look at things with teal cutter glasses. What is
Speaker 1: the rest of the NFL. How do they look at
Speaker 1: what's going on in Jacksonville with urban Meyer? Well, I
Speaker 1: think there's a real sense of anticipation and and hope,
Speaker 1: not just for urban Meyer, but because of what we
Speaker 1: expect as going to happen in the draft, that this
Speaker 1: is a real opportunity to it to turn the page
Speaker 1: rather quickly. There's a lot of draft ammunition. You know,
Speaker 1: you were pretty active in free agency, and I think
Speaker 1: we're all curious to see how urban Meyer does in
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's been the case for years, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's been successful literally everywhere he's been in college football,
Speaker 1: and so I think we're all curious to see how
Speaker 1: he does in the NFL. But I think a real
Speaker 1: sense of anticipation of him, paired with Trevor Lawrence, we
Speaker 1: assume um and and that potentially the franchise can really
Speaker 1: take off kind of quickly. Curious, Judy, you know, he's
Speaker 1: been a clear and concise communicator so far, and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, really sure what we all expected on that
Speaker 1: front here, but it has been nice. You know, every
Speaker 1: time he's been on a Zoom call, he's been pretty
Speaker 1: much straight to the point, he answers questions thoroughly. I'm curious, though,
Speaker 1: when when the balls on the tea in September and
Speaker 1: there's sixty people in the stadium and there's another football
Speaker 1: team and sideline and things adversity hits, which it will.
Speaker 1: How will that happen for Urban and how? I think
Speaker 1: that's the big question he wants to answer himself too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And and look, I mean, he obviously faced adversity as
Speaker 1: a college football coach and you know, and did just fine.
Speaker 1: The results speak for themselves. So I don't think it's that.
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly the NFL, the spotlight of the NFL
Speaker 1: is immense. He had an awful lot of spotlights on him, though,
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's going to be it. We
Speaker 1: have seen. The fact is, we've seen a lot of really,
Speaker 1: really great college football coaches not do so great in
Speaker 1: the NFL. And that's why it's always so intriguing, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, we all look at Nick Saban. Now, maybe
Speaker 1: things would have been different. They almost certainly would have
Speaker 1: been different if the doctors had cleared Drew Brees and
Speaker 1: they had signed Drew Brees in Miami. But I mean,
Speaker 1: this is arguably the greatest college football coach in the
Speaker 1: history of the sport and he and he didn't do
Speaker 1: great in the NFL. And so that's the most recent example.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean Chip Kelly wildly successful in college,
Speaker 1: not so much in the NFL. I you know, I
Speaker 1: I think Urban Meyer coached at a high level at
Speaker 1: high level universities with tremendous results. Um. It's as close
Speaker 1: as you can get to being an NFL coach without
Speaker 1: being an NFL coach. UM. So now we're going to
Speaker 1: see what he does at this level. He knows how
Speaker 1: to coach. UM. I think the only real question is,
Speaker 1: you know, what's what's his judgment of players and you know,
Speaker 1: how does he assemble a roster and is that what
Speaker 1: what he needs to does he need to improve on
Speaker 1: it um at the NFL level or does he know
Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing right out of the game. Judy
Speaker 1: with with with a coach that's viewed is is outstanding?
Speaker 1: They want to coach And you've got to have an
Speaker 1: off season and players in front of you to be
Speaker 1: able to coach. What do you envision the NFL all
Speaker 1: season looking like with COVID still kind of at the
Speaker 1: front lines of things in the NFL. Well, I I
Speaker 1: certainly don't expect it's going to look anything like on
Speaker 1: the offseason like you used to have to have. UM,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be um. I think something closer to what
Speaker 1: we had last year. As as you well know, the
Speaker 1: players Union wants to keep it like it was last
Speaker 1: year all virtual they liked it that no surprise, Veteran
Speaker 1: players in particular don't want to have to show up
Speaker 1: for mandatory minicamps. Um that is being hashed out now
Speaker 1: between the league and the players Union. Obviously the league
Speaker 1: coaches in particular, but some owners to very much want
Speaker 1: some in person work. Uh. I talked to an owner
Speaker 1: who said, you know, I said to him, like, did
Speaker 1: the did the level of play really drop off you
Speaker 1: think last year because you didn't have any offseason work,
Speaker 1: And he said, well, you know, when you talk to
Speaker 1: position coaches, they will point out, you know, parts of
Speaker 1: the fundamentals of the game that they just did not
Speaker 1: think we're being performed at the right level, and that
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing you can do when you
Speaker 1: have time during the off season program that you just
Speaker 1: can't do once you're in season and you're working on
Speaker 1: a game plan day to day. So certainly there's going
Speaker 1: to be some push and pull there. I suspect they
Speaker 1: will go somewhere in the middle, but it's I don't
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a normal off season program.
Speaker 1: Judy battis still with us from NFL Media and NFL
Speaker 1: Network here on Jaguar's Happy Hour. Next week the NFL
Speaker 1: annual meeting. Speaking of virtual that will still be online,
Speaker 1: and there's some big things on the docket, some rule
Speaker 1: changes that are pending. I mean, there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1: What is the most notable news nugget we will get
Speaker 1: out of next week, Well, they are going to go
Speaker 1: ahead with the seventeen game regular season. That's definitely going
Speaker 1: to be the big thing. Actually, the rules changers are
Speaker 1: not going to happen at this meeting. They're pushing that
Speaker 1: down the road a little bit. They're going to have
Speaker 1: another meeting in May, and that's something they'll probably vote
Speaker 1: on rules changes. But the big thing is that they're
Speaker 1: going to go ahead with the seventeen game regular season
Speaker 1: and trim the preseason down to three games. I don't
Speaker 1: think you'll get too many people crying about the loss
Speaker 1: of a preseason game, um, but that's that's the big change.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a huge change. And they will talk
Speaker 1: about how those games are going to be scheduled and
Speaker 1: what the matchups will be but that's obviously a gigantic
Speaker 1: change to the NFL calendar. Pushes everything back. The super
Speaker 1: Bowl will get played a week later. I think now
Speaker 1: we'll fall on President's Day weekend, So that's actually really
Speaker 1: good for your super Bowl parties that you'll have the
Speaker 1: next day off. Um, but you know, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a huge, huge change for the NFL. That's a big change.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it's going to stay at three preseason games
Speaker 1: duty I mean, one bregular season game is worth two
Speaker 1: in the preseason all day long. You can argue that
Speaker 1: point all day long. And I think what the owners
Speaker 1: would come back and tell you is like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's revenue. Like if you've cut a preseason game, you
Speaker 1: lose revenue, You lose ticket sales, you lose parking, you
Speaker 1: lose concessions, and all of that money comes out of
Speaker 1: the pot that gets split with the players. So that's
Speaker 1: how they arrived at seventeen and three. Judye Batista with us.
Speaker 1: One of the big offseason storylines around the NFL is
Speaker 1: in this division down in Houston and what has happened
Speaker 1: with that organization that the storylines just keep piling up
Speaker 1: you know, there was the falling out between DeShawn Watson
Speaker 1: and the organization. He doesn't want to play there, they
Speaker 1: don't plan to move him. And now it's already been
Speaker 1: a big story. There's all this the wild term recently,
Speaker 1: all these lawsuits are alleging sexual assault and harassment involving Massius'
Speaker 1: is with DeShawn Watson. Where are we with this and
Speaker 1: what's next? Judy, I think we're really only at the
Speaker 1: very beginning of this. Frankly, the NFL is going to investigate.
Speaker 1: That's just at the very beginning. I mean literally, it
Speaker 1: is at the you know, NFL sending a letter to
Speaker 1: the lawyer who has filed the civil suits, um, saying
Speaker 1: we want to investigate. Will your clients cooperate? Will you cooperate?
Speaker 1: So it is at the already beginning, um, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, these allegations are shocking, UM, certainly not anything
Speaker 1: that anybody saw on the horizon, um, you know. And
Speaker 1: just to set aside the troubling nature of the allegations
Speaker 1: for a second, I mean, the fact that they're happening
Speaker 1: at the same time as there's all of this talk
Speaker 1: about his future as a football player in Houston makes
Speaker 1: it even more complicated because of course, you know over
Speaker 1: here you're talking about well would they trade him? And
Speaker 1: you know now the question is, well would anybody trade
Speaker 1: for him? With all of this hanging over him, you
Speaker 1: have no idea how it's going to be resolved or
Speaker 1: when it's going to be resolved, and so everything is
Speaker 1: at a standstill right now. Not I don't think anything
Speaker 1: happens until the investigation proceeds. Um that's that's what comes next.
Speaker 1: And and I don't think that's going to be a
Speaker 1: particularly quick process. I mean, historically, you know, we've seen
Speaker 1: other investigations in the NFL. They take some time and
Speaker 1: they require some cooperation, and it's going to be interesting
Speaker 1: to see the degree of cooperation they get and and
Speaker 1: high powered lawyers involved on both sides, so you know,
Speaker 1: you should expect quite a bit of public posturing in
Speaker 1: the interim. Rusty Harden has a history. Yes, LUs it's
Speaker 1: going to be out of Snail's pace. The more lawyers,
Speaker 1: the slower it's going to go. And Judy with Commissioner Goodell,
Speaker 1: obviously he'll have a role in that at some time
Speaker 1: in the future. Labor Piece TV deal in place. What's
Speaker 1: next for Roger Dell. He probably wants to take a nap.
Speaker 1: It has been some year. I mean, it's been a
Speaker 1: very good year for him, but obviously an incredibly stressful,
Speaker 1: busy year for everybody in the NFL. UM they got
Speaker 1: the labor deal done a year ago. It passed by
Speaker 1: sixty votes of the players. I mean, it was a
Speaker 1: very slim margin. And then almost immediately they had to
Speaker 1: turn right around and go back to the negotiating table
Speaker 1: because you realize you're going to play a season in
Speaker 1: the middle of a pandemic. They had to make a decision,
Speaker 1: are you playing a season in the middle of a pandemic?
Speaker 1: They had to redo the labor deal to account for
Speaker 1: what they knew was going to be a drop in revenue,
Speaker 1: and then they had to navigate through a pandemic, which
Speaker 1: was no small undertaking. I mean, I think this has
Speaker 1: been his finest work, getting them through the pandemic. It
Speaker 1: took a lot. It took a lot of will, and
Speaker 1: it took a lot of manpower, and certainly it took
Speaker 1: a lot of financial resources. Um but they did it,
Speaker 1: and they did it on time, and that's a great
Speaker 1: deal of credit has to go to the commissioner who
Speaker 1: decided early on they were going to keep moving and
Speaker 1: they were going to keep the season on track, and
Speaker 1: they managed to do it. Um and now you've got
Speaker 1: the big media deals. And I think if you asked
Speaker 1: the commissioner he would tell you himself like that's the
Speaker 1: last c B A and the last media deal he
Speaker 1: is going to be around for as the commissioner. I
Speaker 1: don't think he wants any part of of those processes
Speaker 1: in another ten years. Judy, great stuff is always appreciate
Speaker 1: you jumping on with us today and we'll talk to
Speaker 1: you soon. Great look forward to seeing you guys again.

Speaker 1: respected and UM. And that's what I'm definitely I'll bring here.
Speaker 1: That's tenth year NFL receiver Marvin Jones Jr. Now remember
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars and welcome back to Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: was in a by the Duval Motor Company, JA P Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman and the person who got that sound bite
Speaker 1: as part of the tour of the building for these
Speaker 1: new free agents. Ashland Sullivan, Jaguar's reporter, joining us now, Ashland,
Speaker 1: good afternoon, thanks for the time. What's up. We're hanging
Speaker 1: in there and getting ready for the draft. That's a
Speaker 1: month away. That's that's coming up next. Logs the draft.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that a little bit later. But
Speaker 1: you've got a chance as part of this free agent
Speaker 1: round up. All these guys coming through the building, meeting coaches,
Speaker 1: meeting some other players the weight room, checking things out.
Speaker 1: Part of their tour Ashland was was sitting down with
Speaker 1: you in that environment. Um, And let's start with Marvin Jones.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, obviously we know the statistics and
Speaker 1: what he's done, especially the last couple of years in Detroit,
Speaker 1: but you learned a lot about him off the field
Speaker 1: down the hall, Yeah, I did. He was definitely one
Speaker 1: of the most impressive guys that we sat down with.
Speaker 1: And a little nugget. We actually sat down with wide
Speaker 1: receiver G J. Chart today and he said that he
Speaker 1: was really happy that Marvin Jones took the time to
Speaker 1: sit down with him during his free agency visit. And
Speaker 1: you guys know they're only here maybe four or five
Speaker 1: hours half to meet with all these coaches take towards
Speaker 1: the building, they might not meet their teammates during free
Speaker 1: agency visits. So D J. Charks said that definitely stands out.
Speaker 1: And one thing DJ said, I have the power now
Speaker 1: to go back to being a year old and being
Speaker 1: the young guy in the room. And I think there
Speaker 1: was a little bit of pressure that DJ had to
Speaker 1: grow up quicker than he needed to. And now Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones is that veteran presence that the wide receiver room
Speaker 1: definitely needed, Ashlyn. One of the guys that I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed listening to was Jihad Ward. When you talk about
Speaker 1: bringing in guys that can carry a message and carry
Speaker 1: the coaches message, I'm sitting there and listening to him, going,
Speaker 1: I'm hearing Joe Colin speak through Jihad Ward. Am I
Speaker 1: be a mistaken there? Not at all. He brought up
Speaker 1: Joe Colin. The very first thing that we asked him
Speaker 1: was that relationship, and urban Meyer said that he banged
Speaker 1: the table for him to come into this building. And
Speaker 1: I asked jahad Ward, what's that relationship like? And jahad
Speaker 1: War said, Oh, Joe Colin, that's my o G. That's
Speaker 1: the coach that I always talked to no matter where
Speaker 1: I am. That's a guy I'm going to have a
Speaker 1: relationship with. So safe to say they know each other
Speaker 1: well and like each other. I think it goes back
Speaker 1: to even when when Ward was coming out in the draft,
Speaker 1: I think Colin was helping him work out and do
Speaker 1: something so that that is a really tight relationship. I
Speaker 1: think Colin Loggs has that with a lot of guys
Speaker 1: around the league. He is well respected and certainly among
Speaker 1: defensive line now, Joe's always made his presence felt everywhere
Speaker 1: he's been, no doubt, no doubt about that. So that's
Speaker 1: another fine edition. One of four defensive linemen added to
Speaker 1: this team, but Ashton. They also did some work on
Speaker 1: the back end of the defense. That was one of
Speaker 1: the focus is for Urban Meyer this offseason, work on
Speaker 1: that secondary. They had a lot to a lot of
Speaker 1: work to do. Their Shack Griffin we heard frohim earlier
Speaker 1: in the show was probably the big name, the big
Speaker 1: splash name that really stands out. But they also have
Speaker 1: a starting in caliber safety back there in ray Sean Jenkins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that almost got a little bit overlooked
Speaker 1: when you did sign Shot Griffin. Ray Sean Jenkins was
Speaker 1: a starter in Los Angeles, is coming off the best
Speaker 1: year of his career, and I asked him, you know,
Speaker 1: what is it like with this trust that you just
Speaker 1: got a big time contract in the NFL and the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a key contributor to this team. And
Speaker 1: he said, you know, for them to pay me all
Speaker 1: this money, and I respected that he brought up the
Speaker 1: contract and he brought up the money. How life changing
Speaker 1: it was for them to trust me with this contract
Speaker 1: is huge. And now you look at this safety room
Speaker 1: with Jared Wilson, Daniel Thomas, Andrew Wingard, now with ray
Speaker 1: Shn Jenkins, you feel a lot better about that this
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of your starting safeties and a
Speaker 1: guy that's coming off one of the best years of
Speaker 1: his career. I still think they can go draft one.
Speaker 1: Lugs pretty high. Yeah, you you still draft one because
Speaker 1: the one thing about the safety position. First of all,
Speaker 1: you'd love to have three or four guys, but the
Speaker 1: ability to contribute on special teams from the safety position
Speaker 1: is a big part of teams. Yeah, and he you know,
Speaker 1: his first couple of years in his career, Jenkins were
Speaker 1: talking about here he was a special teams player, that
Speaker 1: was it, and he wasn't getting defensive snaps. And then
Speaker 1: there were some injury issues out in l A. So
Speaker 1: he had to jump in the lineup and he's taken
Speaker 1: full advantage of it. And Ashlan, when you look at
Speaker 1: the safety position, the heighth weight speed, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: exactly what you're looking for with special teams, and ray
Speaker 1: Sean Jenkins cut his teeth. That's where he got to
Speaker 1: start at. Yeah, he's definitely hungry. And we asked him
Speaker 1: about that versatility. I have the list here, he said,
Speaker 1: I can play Amanda Man, I can do the post,
Speaker 1: I can come down in the box, I can help
Speaker 1: with run support. I can play on special teams. We
Speaker 1: probably had more things to say if we didn't cut
Speaker 1: him off. So he's ready to help in all kinds
Speaker 1: of areas of the game. I love it. Good stuff.
Speaker 1: And those visits available on Jaguars dot com. I presume,
Speaker 1: I know they'll will be out in different forms coming
Speaker 1: up a little bit later. I'm sure right, yes, they
Speaker 1: will later on this week Jaguars dot com. You can
Speaker 1: see them all. Looking forward to that. And hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for your time, Shelynn, great to see you have a
Speaker 1: good one. Thank you for having me so long, fellas,
Speaker 1: so long. Ashland Sullivan out of here, Jaguars reporter joining
Speaker 1: us in great job. I mean those some of these
Speaker 1: and you know what I like about this crew, the
Speaker 1: free agency crew that have come in here, it seems
Speaker 1: like they all have their act together, like they're at
Speaker 1: least the presentation that they had on the zoom call
Speaker 1: or the team's call. Excuse me, um, they're they're all
Speaker 1: pretty sharp guys. Well, you have two people whose sole
Speaker 1: job is to to find guys they're gonna fit the culture.
Speaker 1: I mean literally, you have two guys. Okay they are.
Speaker 1: They're on staff that make sure that who they bring
Speaker 1: in fits what they want to be. And I'm talking
Speaker 1: about from uh everything is a player to the way
Speaker 1: that they carry themselves away from this facility. We're talking
Speaker 1: about two gentlemen, Ryan Stamper and Marcus Pollard. And Ryan
Speaker 1: Stampers from Jacksonville. Marcus Pollard has been here for quite
Speaker 1: some time and and obviously Marcus Pollard has played the
Speaker 1: game and he knows what it what it takes to
Speaker 1: be a pro. And Ryan Stamper has a huge amount
Speaker 1: of trust from the head coach Urban Meyer, no doubt.
Speaker 1: And now those guys will really be key in the
Speaker 1: draft process too. You know, they got a lot of
Speaker 1: phone calls to make j petts because that's the one
Speaker 1: thing about the draft is because I mean similar to
Speaker 1: free agency and an urban talked about. You know, you
Speaker 1: can't meet these guys or talk to them much before
Speaker 1: you've given them all these contracts. The draft is going
Speaker 1: to be similar in a lot of ways. You're not
Speaker 1: going to be able to spend as much time with
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys to maybe get to know
Speaker 1: him a little bit more and to be perfectly honest
Speaker 1: with you, I think that can be overrated. It's more
Speaker 1: value in talking to people that you trust, that have
Speaker 1: been around some of these prospects and they truly know
Speaker 1: the makeup of the players. And if you can find
Speaker 1: the avenue, if you can make the phone calls to
Speaker 1: get that information, that's as good as anything you can
Speaker 1: get when determine whether a player fits here or not.

Speaker 1: And we're in the middle of season ticket renewal season longs.
Speaker 1: It's hot, it's it is. The phones are ringing off
Speaker 1: the hook over there, and the deadline, by the way,
Speaker 1: for existing season ticket members to renew, including those on
Speaker 1: pause from last year. April nine is the renewal deadline,
Speaker 1: So get in now before the folks who have deposits
Speaker 1: for this season, have their opportunity to get your seats
Speaker 1: locked in because they will go quickly. To go back
Speaker 1: to when the Jaguars acquired Callers Hide, Yeah, the first time,
Speaker 1: that's right. That was a result of roster mismanagement. In
Speaker 1: my opinion. You didn't have a deep enough running back
Speaker 1: room and then all of a sudden you got kind
Speaker 1: of desperate and then you had to do a trade
Speaker 1: and it didn't work out because it was just it
Speaker 1: was you can't do that if you had managed the
Speaker 1: position better leading up to the season and you brought
Speaker 1: in more people that could compete at that position, which
Speaker 1: they didn't do. And uh, and it cost him. It
Speaker 1: cost him a draft pick and and not a lot
Speaker 1: of production out of the guy that you acquired. Now,
Speaker 1: now that Carlos Hide is here and he's gonna have full,
Speaker 1: you know, the full amount of time to get ready
Speaker 1: to play. As we've seen where he's been elsewhere, he's
Speaker 1: been good against this team, Yes, he was good. So
Speaker 1: the blame on the first go around where Carlos Hides
Speaker 1: lack of production, in my opinion, does not fall on
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide. That falls on the Jaguars roster mismanagement. At
Speaker 1: the time you have it. He's back. It's a new world.
Speaker 1: It's really a new team for him, new leadership, new
Speaker 1: half the locker room at least will be new next
Speaker 1: year as well, and will be interested to see. You know,
Speaker 1: he's obviously James Robinson is the guy, but what hides
Speaker 1: role is here will be interesting to look. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be a guy that can spell him. I mean, flaw simple.
Speaker 1: He's along the same lines of player. He's a veterano,
Speaker 1: he's dependable, and he's tough, and he's been available throughout
Speaker 1: his career. But you, as I said before, you need
Speaker 1: to find somebody else in that room that makes you
Speaker 1: hold your breath, that makes easy completions in big plays
Speaker 1: for your quarterback, for your young quarterback. Let's go around
Speaker 1: the National Football League some more signings, free agencies open.
Speaker 1: Of course, the big first wave is pretty much done,
Speaker 1: but there's still some names out there, but not Malcolm Butler.
Speaker 1: He signed with the Cardinals, adding to the list of
Speaker 1: big names added in Arizona. J. J. Watt, A. J. Green,
Speaker 1: just a couple of those that they've added earlier in
Speaker 1: this offseason logs, and now they've got Malcolm Butler. Going
Speaker 1: to the place where he made the interception in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Well, and that's why he has a big name.
Speaker 1: But if you look at these three guys in particular, Okay, J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt doesn't look like J. J. Watt that we've known.
Speaker 1: If you watched him last year, he's slowing down. When's
Speaker 1: the last time he has moments? JP? But he's not
Speaker 1: the same place a couple of years. When's the last
Speaker 1: time A J. Green was dominant? It's been a little bit. Okay.
Speaker 1: And in Malcolm Butler, he made a great play in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but he's a number one corner, you know.
Speaker 1: So even though you say they're big names, they're not
Speaker 1: big time players in my opinion anymore. They all three
Speaker 1: have a lot to prove, and they may prove it.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can't, but they got a lot
Speaker 1: to prove. A J. Green in the same division now
Speaker 1: is Jalen Ramsey. They're old buddies. Yeah, they might have
Speaker 1: a little Kumbaya moment, right That could be an interesting watch.
Speaker 1: We'll have to watch those Cardinals. Rampsy Green lost his
Speaker 1: cool little uh yeah say so? Flipped him around on
Speaker 1: the field twice. Wide receiver t Y Hilton returning to
Speaker 1: the Colts one year, ten million bucks, eight million guaranteed
Speaker 1: his tenth season and end it's where he's going to
Speaker 1: end his career. It feels like he's, uh he's a
Speaker 1: solid player. He is not. He doesn't make you hold
Speaker 1: your breath like he used to in the early days.
Speaker 1: He did when when t Y was in the first
Speaker 1: you know, five six years of his career, he was
Speaker 1: fantastic and his uh rate of putting up numbers was
Speaker 1: was tremendous the last couple of years, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and part of that has been also due to the
Speaker 1: lack of great quarterback play in Indianapolis. And I think
Speaker 1: he got back a little bit last year when he
Speaker 1: had the ability to play with Philip Rivers, but he
Speaker 1: got a couple of years before that that were kind
Speaker 1: of lost. And uh, good signing for him, you know,
Speaker 1: to go back and hopefully finish his career out as
Speaker 1: a cult. It's a air contract eight million plus two
Speaker 1: million incentives, and uh, I hope he doesn't earn any
Speaker 1: of those incentives against the Jaguars. The NFL has cleared
Speaker 1: the way for Washington owner Daniel Snyder to buy out
Speaker 1: the minority investors in the team Finance Committee approved Snyder's
Speaker 1: application for a four hundred fifty million dollar debt waiver.
Speaker 1: Other owners will vote at the meeting next week on
Speaker 1: whether to approve the deal. It needs twenty four the
Speaker 1: votes in favor to pass. The total amount of the
Speaker 1: deal for the remaining shares is eight hundred seventy five
Speaker 1: million dollars. He would have to repay that debt by well,
Speaker 1: because the League has if people didn't know this, they
Speaker 1: have rules about the amount of debt that each team
Speaker 1: can carry. And that's what why they're saying that they're
Speaker 1: allowing this to happen, but it has to be repaid
Speaker 1: by and Daniel Snyder and the owners other owners. There's
Speaker 1: been a lot of things that have been reported about
Speaker 1: how contentious that relationship has been and that some of
Speaker 1: the accusations about Dan Snyder and the happenings in the
Speaker 1: organization were a result of some of the other owners
Speaker 1: maybe providing the information to people to expose Daniel Snyder.
Speaker 1: And there's still the investigation going on, I think the
Speaker 1: league investigation as to some of those and and here's
Speaker 1: the reality jp the league is not approving all this
Speaker 1: debt relief if the investigation is going to go anywhere
Speaker 1: you have it. The NFL memo added another detail to
Speaker 1: team's draft preparations logs, relaxation on masking and distancing requirements.
Speaker 1: If all individuals in the draft room are fully vaccinated,
Speaker 1: there can be a maximum of ten fully vaccinated individuals
Speaker 1: in the draft room for the team. If all are
Speaker 1: fully vaccinated, physical distancing is relaxed, eating and drinking will
Speaker 1: be permissible. Friday is a deadline for draft room plans
Speaker 1: to be reviewed and approved by NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr.
Speaker 1: Alan Sills. So there you go an additional change, which
Speaker 1: is uh. I hate to say this. A lot of
Speaker 1: that too, is also for appearances and because look, when
Speaker 1: you're when you're a successful league like the NFL is,
Speaker 1: you don't want to do anything to have a negative
Speaker 1: pr hit. And so the league is going to do
Speaker 1: everything it can to make sure that no negative publicity
Speaker 1: comes out of these draft room cams. And uh and
Speaker 1: and it's and it's good business, it's smart business to
Speaker 1: do that. A bad story turned into a good story
Speaker 1: out in Tempe, Arizona, New England, Patriots reserve offensive tackle
Speaker 1: Justin Herron works out out there in the off season.
Speaker 1: He was honored by the Tempe Police Department. This week.
Speaker 1: He helped stop an attempted sexual assault at a park
Speaker 1: over the weekend. The suspect was seen pushing a seventy
Speaker 1: one year old lady to the ground in broad daylight.
Speaker 1: Mind you um hereon and another man intervened when they
Speaker 1: heard yelling. They yelled at the man, pulled him off
Speaker 1: the lady and told him to sit down and wait
Speaker 1: on the cops. And they intervened and saved her, and
Speaker 1: they have been honored by the police department. I hope
Speaker 1: that he gave the suspect a little bit of a
Speaker 1: the business, a little bit of a calmer, you know
Speaker 1: they call a calmer, you know, you getting a little feisty.
Speaker 1: Give him a couple of wraps upside the head, calm
Speaker 1: them down. I hope he got a little bit of that, yeah,
Speaker 1: giving him the extra pushing down a seventy year a
Speaker 1: one year old woman, come on, crazy story. It turned
Speaker 1: out the suspect probably ran into a couple of trees
Speaker 1: while he was trying to run away from some folks
Speaker 1: there that that can happen. Probably. Let's finish today with
Speaker 1: veteran sportscaster Dick Stockton, retiring from Fox Sports fifty five
Speaker 1: years as a play by play announcer at least hundred
Speaker 1: and forty five network television games across four major pro
Speaker 1: sports leagues, the NFL, MLB, NBA, in the NHL. That's
Speaker 1: more than any sports broadcaster ever, including seven hundred fourteen
Speaker 1: NFL games and and uh and I was a part
Speaker 1: of a couple of them and had production meetings with him.
Speaker 1: Super gracious guy, super nice guy. And I wish him
Speaker 1: the best. He swept seventy eight. Now I hope he
Speaker 1: enjoys every moment that that he has in retirement. He
Speaker 1: deserves it. He um. He called the Carlton Fisk nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy five World Series home running Game six in Remember
Speaker 1: that I was not alive yet. I know that, but
Speaker 1: you remember as far as watching the highlights, because that's
Speaker 1: one of the greatest calls ever. Absolutely was. And he
Speaker 1: started back in Philadelphia, his hometown, Joe Fortunado's hometown in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five. So congratulations on the retirement and curious
Speaker 1: to see what happened. So are you going to fill
Speaker 1: his shoes? Jakes? I don't think no, come on, that's
Speaker 1: our look around the NFL. Alright, so we've got a
Speaker 1: few minutes left your lock, So what is your what's
Speaker 1: your favorite free agent addition so far for the Jags?
Speaker 1: What's one stands out the most to you? Well? Do
Speaker 1: you have one yet? I really don't have one yet,
Speaker 1: but but here's what I do like, everybody that has
Speaker 1: come in here has said the right things as far
Speaker 1: as when you come in you know you don't have no,
Speaker 1: you don't come in and having an expectation of what
Speaker 1: you deserve. The players have come in and said I'm
Speaker 1: willing to do anything for this team to win. And
Speaker 1: they keep using that word win. It's not about me
Speaker 1: and the attention that I get and the role that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fill. It's about winning. And I think that's
Speaker 1: the thing for me that's been the most impressive is
Speaker 1: that everybody that has had a chance to get in
Speaker 1: of the MIC has always talked about team first and
Speaker 1: team goals before they talked about themselves. And that's critical
Speaker 1: to any team's success, especially one you're trying to rebuild.
Speaker 1: You know who I'm excited to hear from. We haven't
Speaker 1: heard from yet. Tyson, one of the best guys ever.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's scheduled. I don't worry, but
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear from Tyson. A law already
Speaker 1: know what kind of a guy he is. He's one
Speaker 1: of the best guys that has ever walked through these doors.
Speaker 1: Marvin and I will tell you Marcedes Lewis Tyson a
Speaker 1: La Wallu. I mean, two of my all time favorite
Speaker 1: guys that have ever graced these hallways. And I'm excited
Speaker 1: to have Tyson back because he is as good of
Speaker 1: a guy as there is, and he's still a really
Speaker 1: good football player. You mentioned Mercedeses. I failed to include
Speaker 1: him in the NFL notes. He signed a new new
Speaker 1: deal two years, eight million bucks. Another guy that just
Speaker 1: continues to defy father father time, just like Tyson, no doubt.
Speaker 1: So there you have it. Our look around free agency
Speaker 1: and coming up next week, we're well, we're about a
Speaker 1: month away from the draft logs. It is coming quick.
Speaker 1: Wick wonder, that's a great Maybe we'll have week maybe
Speaker 1: next week names that might be candidates. See if anything sticks,
Speaker 1: you know, that's a good idea. The real drama will
Speaker 1: be at twenty five though, of course, and all these
Speaker 1: mock drafts are are coming out. You know, John Ozier
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com doesn't like a mock draft tracker
Speaker 1: where he tracks all these mock drafts. Obviously, that's why
Speaker 1: it's named that, and everybody unanimously has been number one,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. But twenty five is a crap shoot, you
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, every mock is different, and it
Speaker 1: just depends on the scenario above. And we'll see we
Speaker 1: could end, could be tight, it could be safety, could
Speaker 1: be tackle, anything could really it could be an anything
Speaker 1: could be the best available. Here's one thing that's for sure,
Speaker 1: not a kicker upon me to find a serious contributor
Speaker 1: with that. I'm talking about something that's gonna walk in
Speaker 1: and play and contribute to make this team better immediately.
Speaker 1: That's what you expect with first round picks. Thanks to
Speaker 1: Judy Batista NFL Media, one of the best in the business,
Speaker 1: Ashlyn Sullivan, Jaguars reporter, joining us as well, Brent Reaver
