1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: A treasurist, and I think there'll be a lot of

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: eyes on what happens in the NFL this weekend because

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: there's no other sport. There's there's there's nothing the live sport. Yeah,

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: it feels like a live sport right now because there

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: is no other sport on. And I agree with you.

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: I've got my kids downstairs playing video games. I threatened

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: them with an into their life not to download any

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: big files for the next hour while I'm on the line,

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: so they know not to come anywhere near my bedroom

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: door because I'm like holed up in my bedroom. But

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: I kind of like it. I got on my screens,

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: I got my phones, I got NFL network. I think

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: usually it's it's just so strange to me, Johnny that

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: a few months ago at the NFL Combine, we had

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: no idea that with the COVID nineteen pandemic that we

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: would be in this situation that the draft would be

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: conducted like this. And usually this time of year, me

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: and you are sitting in that one hundred concourse level

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: in front of a bunch of fans that are starting

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: to pile in for the draft party. We've got our

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: NFL network we're watching red car parpet arrivals were commenting

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: on player fashion choices. But tonight, you know, the coverage

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: is going to be so different too, because these players

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: are in their individual homes. I don't think they can

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: have their big party. They might have to have like

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: one or two family members, but there's no shaking hands,

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: no hugs with Roger Goodell. Roger Goodell's in his basement

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: with what I think is a pretty nice set up.

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: He may decide to do this long term, but the

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: coverage itself is going to be so different. Not to

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: mention the general managers of the coaches what they're going

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: to be doing tonight. I love the fact that Roger

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: Goodell's down in his basement because it's every person's uh,

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: you know, retort back to a blogger, Oh you just

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: did that in your mom's basement. It's like the NFL commissioner,

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: that highst baked commissioner in all of sports, can be

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: doing it from his basement. I absolutely I love that.

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: I love that part of it, and it'll probably have

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: a little different feel. I retweeted a video I saw.

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I think it was an NFL and ESPN Tristan worse

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: who's the top match tackle from who is just an

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: incredible athlete. He rolled out literally a red carpet out

43
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: of his house wherever he lives in Iowa, roll it out,

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: and then he start at the end and he had

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: his mom walk out and let his mom walk the

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: red carpet, and then he gave her a bouquet of

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: roses at the end, and I was like, that's that's

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: good stuff. And I think what this is all done

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: in some sense, DP is it's kind of forced a

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of us to tap into creativity, Like, how are

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: you gonna do this? You know, this is the way

52
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: it's always been done. You have a draft party somewhere

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: and you do. And it's forcing people to be a

54
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: little bit creative. And some people love having the opportunity

55
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: to be creative. Some are like, I'd rather just go

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: back to the way that we normally do it. And

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: hopefully in twenty twenty when we go back to the

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: way that we normally did it, but maybe we'll make

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: some changes through what we've been going through with everything

60
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: that's happened over the last six weeks or so. But

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited for tonight. I know there's been a lot

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: of rumors about the Texans moving up into the bottom

63
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: of that first round, But I don't I don't buy it.

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't see the value to the

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Texans unless there is a top ten player that has

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: just fallen for some reason. And then if he's fallen

67
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: all the way down into the middle twenties into early thirties,

68
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: then you start wondering, Okay, well, what's wrong with him?

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know that I like completely buy all that,

70
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens here in the next few hours. Well,

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: let's get right to it. The report that you're referring to.

72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: I think the first person that I saw tweet it

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: was Diana Russini of ESPN. She tweeted just a few

74
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: hours ago quote, I'd file this in the category as

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: right on brand. I'm told the Texans have called some

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: teams to trade up into the first round. Bill O'Brien

77
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: never scared it to make a trade hashtag Texans. And

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: this is immediately after she had tweeted that she was

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: told to Tennessee Titans have made calls to trade out

80
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: of the twenty ninth pick teams they've called that. We

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: mentioned that we know Titans are looking to collect more

82
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: picks in the next rounds Now, do I think the

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Titans are going to trade with the Texans, No, because

84
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: why would they want the Texans to get the guy

85
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: that they want. However, there might be more than one

86
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: team looking to trade out of that first round because

87
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: they don't need to get someone right then and there,

88
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: but they'd rather have more picks for later. I'm a

89
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: little surprised by this, Johnny, because I feel like, what

90
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: can the Texans give up to move into the first round.

91
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: They've got They've got a pretty high pick in the

92
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: in the second round, which is, you know, like a late, late,

93
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: late first round pick. But you're right, maybe there's a

94
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: guy that they absolutely have to get. You had said

95
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: a few days ago when we were on Texans All Access,

96
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: that you thought it was a possibility. Are you saying

97
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: that that's less likely to happen today? I said that

98
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: what you said, that it was a possibility that the

99
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Texans could trade back up into the first round. But

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: it sounds like you'res thinking that's likely. Not what happened. No, No,

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: what I what I said was it's a possibility. I'm

102
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: not ruling anything out. I won't rule anything out at all.

103
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: My gut has told me all along that if the

104
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: Texans did not pick at forty, that it would be

105
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: going down. That's that's what I have fought all along.

106
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Is it a possibility for them to move up? Sure,

107
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: because they to get into twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty

108
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: kind of where the Titans are and the package thirty

109
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco at thirty one, Kansas City at thirty two.

110
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: It's not a huge price tag to go from forty

111
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: to that spot. But considering the Texans have just seven picks,

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: they have only four before the seventh round, I would think,

113
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: if anything, they would want to be able to add

114
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: some add some players that they look at and maybe

115
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: have specific ideas for the role they think those players

116
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: can play down the road for them, So I would think,

117
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: And I've always been kind of a trade down, pile

118
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: up picks sort of guy. That's just always been the

119
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: way that I am. And maybe that's because I've never

120
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: ever looked at a team and gone, Okay, that team

121
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: is one player away, that team's one player away. I've

122
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: never really felt that way, So I've always kind of

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: considered moving down. Here's the other thing, to go along

124
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: with that report. You and I we like to go

125
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: shopping right now. There's a difference between shopping and buying

126
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: right we go. You can go shopping. You can go

127
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: look and ask and try things on and then walk

128
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: out of the store and not having done anything because

129
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: you've done your due diligence. You've looked at that sports

130
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: code and you're like, I gotta try this on, I

131
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: gotta see is it on sale? What's the deal on this?

132
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: And oh man, oh this is a really good deal

133
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: on this, But yeah, it just doesn't fit right the

134
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: way that I want it. We've all gone shopping. The

135
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: ones you have to look out for are the ones

136
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: and the times that you go buying. Now. The Texans

137
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: have definitely bought, but I would think just doing your

138
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: due diligence to see what it takes to move up,

139
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: there's nothing. There's nothing wrong with that, uh at all.

140
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: And I don't think it also completely in totally indicates

141
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: that the Texans are going through trade. I think what

142
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: Diane twe did that it will Oh it's gonna happen,

143
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: because that's just what Bill O'Brien does. Yeah, I don't

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: completely buy that. I feel like it's more, Hey, let's

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: test the waters. Why not test the waters now and

146
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: see what it'll take and then compare that maybe you know,

147
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: let's uh, I don't know. Let's call who's sitting at

148
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: twenty six, Miami is because that's the Texas picks pick.

149
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Let's call Miami. Hey, Miami, what would it take for

150
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: us to get from twenty six to four? Let's have

151
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: let's have a conversation. Okay, well it's gonna cost this. Okay, hey,

152
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: lock that away later in the draft. Well when you

153
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: start getting around that that that pick, then maybe some

154
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: other teams are in the same area and go, okay, hey,

155
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: what'll it take to move And now you comparing what

156
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: the package is that you might have have to you

157
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: might need to be able to move up. Hey, Miami

158
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: only wants this, The Eagles want this, the forty nine

159
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: ers want this. Hey, are there two or three players

160
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: that maybe we can wait a little bit, or are

161
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: there a few players on the board because the quarterbacks

162
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: and the tackles have pushed all these players down the board.

163
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Then you're like, wait a second, they're like eight to

164
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: ten guys that we have really high grades on. There's

165
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: no need for us to trade whatsoever, so maybe we

166
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: can trade down, pile up a few picks, and still

167
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: get one of those eight to ten guys that we'd like.

168
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: So to me, it's all about doing the due diligence,

169
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: which if I'm a Texans fan, the first thing I

170
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: know what they're thinking is, oh, he's gonna trade, He's

171
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna trade's gonna trade. No, you have a coach and

172
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: general manager doing the due diligence that you need to

173
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: be doing. And if you're a fan of some other

174
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: team and that team is not doing it at that point,

175
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: then what are they doing that? To me? And I

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: heard that and would that That's what hit me. Shopping

177
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: and buying are two different things. And for the Texans

178
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: and Bill O'Brien to be out shopping and looking and

179
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: examining and doing due diligence, I'm fine with that. I

180
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: just I wouldn't be some I'm I've said this before,

181
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: dep I would never be surprised by anything that happens

182
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: at NFL Draft. Ever. Ever, there's nothing that will surprise me.

183
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: You can tell me the most Atlantish thing and I'll

184
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: be like, I could, I could see it. So I'm

185
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: not surprised by anything. I won't be surprised by anything.

186
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: I won't be surprised if we're talking to a Texas

187
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: draft pick tonight. I won't be surprised if we, uh,

188
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: you know, move up tomorrow from forty to thirty five.

189
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if we move from forty to

190
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: fifty five or whatever. So I just won't be surprised

191
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: by any of it. My gut tells me that moving

192
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: down is probably the better play given the value of

193
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: the draft board and the players that the Texans have needs.

194
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: That's that's where it would match, is to move down

195
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: and pick up a few other picks. Yeah, you mentioned Miami.

196
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: Miami's got three picks in the first round. So I

197
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: see some William dealing happening tonight. I don't know if

198
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: the Texans will be part of that. What about for

199
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: future rounds? The Texans have three picks in the seventh round,

200
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, usually they Bill Baron likes to make moves,

201
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: we know, So if not in this first run tonight,

202
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: do you foresee maybe a trade tomorrow or Saturday. I

203
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: could see it, Yeah, I mean, you know, with the

204
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: seventh rounders, you know you can package those seventh rounders

205
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: up and maybe get to the top of the seventh

206
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: or maybe the maybe the very back end of the sixth.

207
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, it would well wait a second, there's a

208
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of value in the seventh round. There is, but

209
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: I think teams don't always quite look at it that way.

210
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: By that point, they're looking for a specific knee. You know,

211
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: last year it was calling Lesbia for US in seventh round.

212
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: It turned out to be a tremendous pick, and I

213
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: hope he continues to add value to this team going forward.

214
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: But I do think that they will examine every single

215
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: opportunity to make this team complete as complete as it

216
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: can be going forward, and I think they will look

217
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: at you know, there's you know, forty ninety one eleven,

218
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: one seventy one. You know, there's a gap between one

219
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: eleven and one seventy one. So that's kind of where

220
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: I looked. I was like, well, maybe they move one

221
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: eleven down and then they pick up you know, I

222
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: don't know, one thirty nine and one fifty in the process,

223
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: So give up one eleven and then that's their fourth

224
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: round pick they got from Miami and the Tunsil deal,

225
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: and then there are two other picks they end up

226
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: picking up along the way that I could I could

227
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: see that. But I do think the Texans will make

228
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: a trade. Last year, they did not make a trade

229
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: the entire draft. I don't thinking. Yeah, that was surprising.

230
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: That was surprising. I do think a trade will happen

231
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: this weekend for sure. All right. So we so Drew

232
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Dory puts together these mock draft surveys, and the latest

233
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: one went up today, the last one before the draft obviously,

234
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: and five different players got moped to Houston by two

235
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: mock drafters, so they got a majority. Of the mock

236
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: drafters out there are saying pass rushers for the Texans.

237
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on some of the guys that are being

238
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: mocked to the Texans? What about for yourself? If you

239
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: had to do a mock draft, who would it be?

240
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: Iowa and Wisconsin? Those two pass rushers e Panessa and

241
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: Zach baughnd of Iowa or of Wisconsin, sorry, are both

242
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: the two most mocked. And then Auburn's Marlin Davidson in

243
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: the previous mock draft whose name popped up again in

244
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: this one, Well, I believe it was either Detroit or Miami.

245
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: The way that I did my mock draft. I had

246
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: Miami trading with Detroit moving up to number three, so

247
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: I think it was Detroit I had taken Marlin Davidson

248
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: at number twenty six. Davidson's Davidson would be the guy

249
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: that I would want out of that group because I

250
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: think he gives you everything you want. You want a

251
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: tior of pressure, He gives you that he could play

252
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: out on the edge. I think he's the kind of

253
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: guy in the locker room. But Texans would absolutely lutely.

254
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: He is the dependable, tough, smart all the way through.

255
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone want to talk about Derek Brown and

256
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: for good reason, but Marlon Davidson was his running mate,

257
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: and those guys did a lot of different things. I

258
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: would love Marlin Davidson, But Epin said Iowa and Zach

259
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: Bond they couldn't be more different. Epins is about two

260
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,119
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds, played in a four to three,

261
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: played a four three defensive and a lot like J. J.

262
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: Watt did vers in Wisconsin. Epina was not He's not

263
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: He's not fast. He ran a five flat forty And

264
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: I was talking with Ron and Clint earlier and they

265
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: were kind of like I don't know, and like, this

266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: guy is a skilled pass rusher, extremely skilled pass rusher

267
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: with a little bit of twitch off the edge for

268
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: a big guys. Zach Bond's completely different. Zach Bond's about

269
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty seven pounds in that range. Is

270
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: a three to four outside linebacker. That would be the

271
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: definition or that would be his position, I think in

272
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: the program. But he's not gonna be able to play

273
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: on the outside all the time. He's gonna get knocked

274
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: around a little bit. So you have to be creative

275
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: with Zach Bond about where you would use him on

276
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: first and second down or first down before you got

277
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: into your subpackage stuff. Once you get the subpackage stuff,

278
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: let him rush from wherever you want up down a

279
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: line of Screamach, He's going to create problems. But I

280
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: just think from a three down standpoint, Bond's kind of

281
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't know where you play him. You'll figure it out.

282
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: But the thing is is you have two guys already

283
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: in Bmack and Zach Cuttingham that play those off the

284
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: ball linebacker roles, and that's probably where you would think

285
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: about a guy like Zach Bond. The other thing is

286
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: with Zach Bond. You have a guy that has some

287
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: blazing speed, and that's Jacob Martin. Now I am of

288
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: the mindset that the more speed you bring to the party,

289
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: the better, But those are all different guys. Marlin Davidson's

290
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: almost three hundred pounds can play anywhere up down the line,

291
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: Epins is about two eighty, can play inside outside, and

292
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: then Bond about two thirds seven and just a blur

293
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: off the edge, but probably is going to have to

294
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: be a combo off the ball linebacker and then rush

295
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: in your sub package from an outside linebacker position. So

296
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: they're all to me really good options. Any of those

297
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: are really good options. But in my mock draft at

298
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Football Takeover dot Com DP, I went with a safety.

299
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: I just I just felt like the value of safety

300
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: at that point. I had Davidson off the board, I

301
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: had and S off the board. I bought off the board,

302
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: so all three were off the board. So I pretty

303
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: much looked at it and thought, the best value to

304
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: me at number forty at that point is a safety,

305
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: and I ended up going with Grant Delpit from LSU.

306
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: That was the pick that I ended up putting there

307
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: because Delpin's number forty and the Harrison one hundred. I

308
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: was like, well, this seems like a good fit, so

309
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: let's go with it. So those guys were off the board.

310
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Had they knappen off the board, I probably would have

311
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: gone with one of those three to the Texans at forty.

312
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: But since they were off the board, which I think

313
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: they will be tonight by the time the Texas pick,

314
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: that's why I ended up going with safety at that.

315
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: That's interesting in considering the Texans have a lot of

316
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: safeties on their roster and they resigned a few more

317
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: this offseason. Let me ask you about Espanessa just one

318
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: more question. He models his game after JJ Watt and

319
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: he played under Kirk Ferrens, who I know Bill O'Brien

320
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: has talked a lot about Kirk Ferrens um I was coach.

321
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: They have ties at sort of date back. So any

322
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: is there anything that you could be that you could

323
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: read into that. I know he didn't have a great combine,

324
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: so is there a chance that he could slip into

325
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: the second round? There is, I think for a lot

326
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: of people looking for that elite skill set. But I

327
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: always say this to people like, Okay, so guy didn't run,

328
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: you know what would you expect the two two hundred

329
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: and eighty five pound guy to run, you know, four seven,

330
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: four eight, Okay, So he's got elite speed like Henry

331
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Ruggs has elite speed, McKay Beckton has elite size. I

332
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: think a J. Fpanessa is an elite pass rusher just

333
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: with his skills, how he uses his hands. You don't

334
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: have to teach him how to be a path rusher.

335
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: He's got a pretty good plan already and he's been

336
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: very well coached at Iowa. So I think a lot

337
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: of that is going to play in And you bring

338
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: up a really good point in that being Kirk Ferrance

339
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: is the head coach at the University of Iowa. So

340
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: that's a guy that I know that certain NFL coaches

341
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: not certain that a lot of NFL coaches trust the

342
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: players they've gotten out of Iowa. They trust Kirk Ferrence

343
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: because he spent some time in the NFL with Bill

344
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: Belichick with the Cleveland Browns, so they know what Iowa players.

345
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: They know what they're getting with Iowa players basically, and

346
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: I think that's why Kirk Ferrence is so highly thought

347
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: of throughout the NFL for that particular reason. So is

348
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: there a way that Einsa gets the forty. Yes, I

349
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: think that there will be some team that says, look, man,

350
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: yeah he doesn't run a four eight. I don't know

351
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: what JJ ran his, but he doesn't run a four eight.

352
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: He would absolutely models game after JJ because that's the

353
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: the body style he has, So yeah, you model your

354
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: your game after JJ from that perspective. But he's skilled

355
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher to a point that you've got

356
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: to have him on a field. If you bump him inside,

357
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: he's got to rush against guards. I think he could win.

358
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: He's not going to be completely overmatched because he is

359
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: two hundred eighty two and eighty five pounds. So Epins

360
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: is there at forty. It would make some sense to me,

361
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. The only the only question

362
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: that I think teams are gonna have is is he

363
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: a good enough athlete for us? Is that a bother

364
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 1: for some teams? And some teams are just like, he's

365
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: not a good enough athlete, We're not even looking at him,

366
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: and so you just have to deal with that. But

367
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: I think for the Texans, they absolutely would would would

368
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: take it would make sense for them to look at it.

369
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: Given the past our situation, or at least what it

370
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: was last year. I think it would make for some

371
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: great interviews afterwards if if he does get to play

372
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: on the same d line as JJ. All right, Johnny,

373
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to hearing all seventeen hours of Jexons radio

374

Speaker 1: Wife apreciate you joining us here for this preview. I'm

00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,720

00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: have to work, ms man, I get to just sit

382
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: back at football and basketball and I don't have to work. Now,

383
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: I gotta work my butt off. This is not like Christmas.

384
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: Is like first day of spring practice. Maybe I don't

385
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: know it is, but we get the respect. I'm not.

386
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about that this year. I appreciate deep.

387
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, Johnny. Coming up next, we've got

388
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: John McClean Texans All Access. We'll ask John mcclin when

389
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: he thinks about the rumors about the Texans trading into

390
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: the first round, and also his thoughts on an unprecedented

391
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: virtual twenty twenty NFL draft. That's all coming up on

392
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Don't go anywhere. This is Whitney Merciless

393
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: and you're listening to Texans Radio. Don't touch that dog else.

394
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: I want to start an argument with sports fans, ask

395
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: who should be the MVP. Everybody has an opinion. This

396
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: player does this and that player does that, and I

397
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: could be persuaded either way. But when it comes to

398
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: an MVP of MPG, Yeah, miles per gallon, I've made

399
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: my choice. Chevron with tech Ron, Why well, Number one,

400
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: it's proven no gasoline gets better mileage. Number two, no

401
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: gasoline has more cleaning power to help keep vital engine

402
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: parts clean. Unbeatable mileage, unbeatable cleaning. You can't argue with that. Chevron.

403
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: With techron care for your car. For a winning feeling,

Speaker 1: never miss an update. There's a lot of people saying

420
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: getting that inside guy who can push the pocket is

421
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: paramount for these teams that want to take a quick

422
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: drive and get rid of the ball. So teams are

423
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna look to get them deeply in the first round.

424
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: I look for receivers to fall as teams load up

425
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: on offensive tackles, pass rushers and cornerbacks. Yeah, I actually

426
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: saw that somewhere that they're expecting. Someone predicted a run

427
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: on tackles in the top ten because so many teams

428
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: need have a need for tackle. Miami's in that top

429
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: five obviously with their trade of Laramy, Tuncil will be

430
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: looking at tackles as well, and then with such a

431
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: deep draft of wide receivers, we could see the receivers

432
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: fall a little bit later. Let me let me ask

433
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: you about something that Bill O'Brien said in his pre

434
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: draft press conference last week. With the virtual offseason that

435
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: players are having. Rookies are not going to have the

436
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: same opportunity as they normally have to get on the

437
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: field and get get their practice their OTAs. Are there

438
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: certain physician groups you think that are at more of

439
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: a disadvantage than others when it comes to rookies and

440
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: getting acclimated to the NFL. That's your dB. All rookies

441
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: are going to be at a disadvantage. O'Brien said, it's

442
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: going to be a veteran type of year, and he's right.

443
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: You ask anybody on six ten, or any form or

444
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: player in the Texans organization, what would it have been

445
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: like them as rookies if they'd had no rookie minicamp,

446
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: no OTA, no offseason program, training camp was cutting a half,

447
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: preseason was cut in half. How much would they have

448
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: been able to do compared to what they did with

449
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: all that on field coaching. They're not going to have

450
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: that luxury. So positions like quarterback, I'll be stunned if

451
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow steps in there and lights it up. Most

452
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks don't do it, no matter how much they

453
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: give him virtual coaching. It's not the same. It's just

454
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: not the same. So I think it's going to be

455
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: tougher for positions like receiver. Receivers are harder position offensive tackle.

456
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: Some positions it doesn't matter, like running back, pass rushers,

457
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: because the pass rushers are tall. When the ball snapped,

458
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: get the ball. But I think I think that all

459
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: rookies are going to be affected in a negative way.

460
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: And I think if a players start slow, we shouldn't

461
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: hold it against them because it's a sign of the times.

462
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned Joe Burrow. In a little bit of a

463
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, Adam Schefter tweeted out that Bengals President Mike

464
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: Brown already officially welcomed Elasue quarterback Joe buruwna Cincinnati on

465
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: Wednesday yesterday, so he sent a letter, amongst other things,

466
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: to look forward to quote building championship football teams. He

467
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: also sent number nine jerseys to Burrow and his parents, John,

468
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: what do you think of that? The fact that the

469
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: first round, the number one overall pick is already out there.

470
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: I saw some rumors that Cincinnati might trade down, but

471
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: it seems as if Joe Burrow is going to be

472
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: a Bengal. Well, first of all, that's one of the

473
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: worst pieces of news I've ever heard, considering everybody's had

474
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow to the Bengals for months and the fact

475
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: that he's going I'm watching today all these media people

476
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: speculating that the Dolphins are going to get the first

477
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: pick to get Joe Burrow. But Joe Burrows was going

478
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: to be the guy going back to their bowl game,

479
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: when the National Championship game, when he was so incredible.

480
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: So that's not news in the least. If they want

481
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: to sign him right now, they can side him and

482
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: they do anything they want. But now the question is

483
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: even Washington can't blow the Chase Young pick and the

484
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: Detroit at number three is where it gets interesting. I

485
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: just want Detroit to take Jeff o'cu to the corner.

486
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: So I get my first three picks, right, it might

487
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: be going three I get right. I don't know. There's

488
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about Detroit being the one team

489
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: that's going to trade out of that pick. John, do

490
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: you think that's just a lot of smoke in the

491
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: air and Detroit trying to throw some feelers out there

492
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: or who do you think somebody the first team to

493
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: actually move from the original drafting spot. Well, Detroit needs

494
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: a lot of help. Okuda is the best corner by far.

495
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: They've kind of replaced Darius Slay their best corner. They

496
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: traded him. It makes sense now if they only drop

497
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: down swapped with Miami or say the Chargers traded up,

498
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: they still get a great prospect, but it depends on

499
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: who they have. Yes, all right, looks like we lost McClean.

500
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. Texans All Acts has got a

556
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: We've got John McLean back on the line. And this

557
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: brings up an interesting point because it is a virtual draft.

558
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: And like we lost John McClean a little bit earlier, John,

559
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: what are the possibilities that there might be a technical

560
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: glitch in the draft this year? Well, DP, they have

561
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: backups to the backup system. You know, I'm sure there's

562
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: going to be a glitch. But for the way the

563
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: NFL draft has been for years, they pick up a

564
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: phone and they make a call, They dial a number.

565
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: How tough is it to pick up a landline and

566
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: talk to another team about a trade like you always do?

567
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: And if the draft was in Vegas, Bill O'Brien or

568
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: Jackie b would pick up the phone and call the

569
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: guy in Vegas and say we're gonna take DPS to

570
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: do in the first round, And so they go, okay,

571
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: How easy is that? What they hope to avoid? A

572
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: course thunderstorms that can knock out electricity and everything else.

573
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm amazed at how elaborate some of these general managers

574
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: have made their download the Houston Texans Mobile Lab. Welcome

575
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: back to Texans All Access. We've got John McLean back

576
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: on the line. And this brings up an interesting point

577
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: because it is a virtual draft, and like we lost

578
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: John McLean a little bit earlier. John, what are the

579
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: possibilities that there might be a technical glitch in the

580
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: draft this year? Well, DP, they have backups to the

581
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: backup system. You know, I'm sure there's gonna be a glitch.

582
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: But for the way the NFL draft has been for years,

583
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: they pick up a phone and they make a call,

584
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: They dial a number. How tough is it to pick

585
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: up a landline and talk to another team about a

586
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: trade like you always do. And if the draft was

587
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: in Vegas, Bill O'Brien or Jack Easterby would pick up

588
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: the phone and call the guy in Vegas and say,

589
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna take deepis to do in the first round

590
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: And so they go, okay, How easy is that? What

591
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: they hope to avoid? Of course, thunderstorms that can knock

592
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: out electricity and everything else. I'm amazed at how elaborate

593
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: some of these general managers have made. This was when

594
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: you don't have a number one pick, and they didn't.

595
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: This is only a second time in team history they

596
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: have met at number one pick. And there was a

597
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: reason in twenty and eighteen because of the trades for

598
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson and Brock Osweiler. So everybody thought Justin Reid

599
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: was going in the second round. Some people had him

600
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the first and when he was there,

601
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: Texans took two seconds to take him. Then they took

602
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakins. They had Martinez ranking they traded for Carlos Shide.

603
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: So Justin Reid, Carlos Side, and Jordan Nakins play big

604
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: roles last year and a team that went to the

605
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: divisional round of the playoffs, so they need to get

606
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: players who will produce like that this year and next year.

607
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: It won't surprise me dp because Bill doesn't have first

608
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: and second round picks next year, He's got an extra

609
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: four if somewhere he doesn't do something to acquire another

610
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: pick like that next year, not a one or two,

611
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: but another one. And especially because he said it's going

612
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: to be a veteran type year. So I think I

613
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: don't think Bill O'Brien is going to stand still. You know,

614
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: he's trader Bill for a reason, and I do expect

615
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: him to make moves tomorrow in the next day, John,

616
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on veterans getting treated tonight as

617
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: part of draft picks. Do you think there's a more

618
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: of a possibility of that because general managers and head

619
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: coaches have been in contact more before the draft. It

620
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: seems that teams are trying to work out their trades

621
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: before the draft begins, just in case. Just from the

622
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: reports from NFL New Work and I rapp report, so

623
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: I see guys arounding league. Bud Dupree was one of

624
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: them with the Steelers who signed his franchise tender just

625
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: yesterday or today. And I wonder if in a situation

626
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: like that, you know, not necessarily dupres but guys like

627
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: that are just more likely to be traded because they've

628
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: signed it. Now teams teams have that option. They're they're

629
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: more likely to be traded because they want more money

630
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: and the teams are not going to pay it. And

631
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: then you got to find a team not only who'll

632
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: give you what you want, but a contract for that player.

633
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: If you want Yanni Kenkway of Jacksonville, you're gonna want

634
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: to number one pick, but there's only a guarantee you're

635
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: gonna have him one year. Now you get franchise in

636
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: the next year. Then he's not going to show up

637
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: for the offseason program. And if you trade for a guy,

638
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: you got to be willing to pay the money his

639
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: agents trying to get and give up the compensation the

640
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: team wants. Sometime you're better off. He shouldn't keep a

641
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: guide that is unhappy and doesn't want to be there.

642
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: But teams know they want you to have a fire sale.

643
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: So I do look before this drafts over to see

644
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: several named players be traded because of money issues. Yeah,

645
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: it seems it was a few years ago that the

646
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: Texans were there were talks of it was Ryan Mallett

647
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: as being quart of a trade packagering that draft. It

648
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: never happened, and then it came to fruition several several

649
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: months later. So it'll be interesting to keep an eye

650
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: on Your thoughts on Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to

651
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. It's a duo that we don't have to

652
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: see in the AFC anymore. We never see them again

653
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: because the Texans already played Tampa Bay last year. But

654
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: your thoughts on how the NFC South now looks and

655
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: then and what about the AFC South, because h is

656
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: Jacksonville going to get the quarterback of the future tonight? Now?

657
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get two defensive players because they're

658
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: going to trade in gok Way. They lost let Marcel

659
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: Darius Go, they traded Kleius Campbell. The Jaguars are positioning

660
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: themselves to get Trevor Lawrence next year, not a quarterback

661
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: this year, and because there's not a quarterback this year

662
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: except for Joe Burrow, who would compare to Trevor Lawrence.

663
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: But Trevor Lawrence is the most sure thing coming out

664
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: next year since Andrew Luck in two thousand and twelve.

665
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: So I think that's why they're a trade, getting rid

666
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: of veterans for draft choices. So I look for them

667
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: to draft two young guys on defense, maybe a wide

668
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: receiver to go with DJ Chark, But I don't see

669
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: them taking a quarterback. There's a lot of talk if

670
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: to a Tongue of Valoa were to fall to the

671
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: ninth spot, I don't think he will. I've got him

672
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: going to Miami at five, no less than the Chargers

673
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: at six, that they would take him. But then if

674
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: they did that, that means they can't be thinking about

675
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in next year's draft. So I'm interested in

676
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: Jacksonville because they're an NFC South should be the worst

677
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: team Tennessee doesn't pick till twenty ninth. They've got several

678
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: needs on defense and offense, so it's that and the

679
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me dp of the quarterbacks Jacksonville. Where

680
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: do those wide receivers go in one order? Ceedee Lamb

681
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: first from Houston or Jerry Judy first from Alabama. There's

682
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: a lot of intrigue, including possible trades, and I think

683
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: if there aren't as many trades that people are speculating on,

684
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: it will have nothing to do with people being at

685
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: home in this draft. There have been other first rounds

686
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: in which there weren't many trades. There's a lot of talk,

687
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: but as the late Bud Adams is to say, it

688
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: takes two to tangle, all right, John tom Brady and

689
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski. It's a veteran's year, But what about for

690
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: veterans like them. They're starting off in a new offense

691
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: at the new head coach. They're starting all over again.

692
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: They're not going to get a chance to work that

693
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: offense on the field in a normal offseason like they've

694
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: had in the past. You see a drop off with

695
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady going to a new team this year. I

696
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: think it's great that the Gronks going down there. It's

697
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: going to make them more interesting. One thing we were,

698
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: but we sometimes forget. Brady'll be forty three in August,

699
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: and he started to sew some decline last year. But

700
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: he's smart enough not to try to do things he's

701
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: not capable of. And Bruce Arians' offense is to send

702
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: everybody out to have a quarterback take deep drops and

703
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: just avoid the rush. And he can't do that with

704
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: Brady because he doesn't take deep drops and he doesn't

705
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: avoid the rush. But Gronk, who claims he weighs two

706
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,959
Speaker 1: fifty and if he does it means I weigh one eighty,

707
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be back up. It won't be

708
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: a problem eating because we're all eating. It's working out, yeah,

709
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: making sure that he puts a good use. But I

710
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: think it's great to see that great story on tim

711
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: Z Sports. Brady walked into the wrong house, put down

712
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: two bags, thought it was his offensive coordinator, Byron left

713
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: which and it was somebody else and the guy was there.

714
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: I hope he gave him an autograph to pose for

715
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: a picture. But the question is what is Brady doing?

716
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: It left? Which is house that's a violation and did

717
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: he have footballs in that two big bags or was

718
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: he moving in so Pro Football Talk has a great

719
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: story about that. And of course Roger Goodell is not

720
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 1: going to do anything because there have been so many

721
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: players about violating the rules. Nothing's going to happen to him. Oh.

722
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: I love Tom Brady's Twitter account. He even tweeted about

723
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: him doing things in Tom he was a Tampa Bay

724
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: now t ompA tump of a Tom Brady and Tampa

725
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: b with Rob Gronkowski. I think that was the best

726
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: kept secret, Gronkowski coming out of retirement and going with

727
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: Brady of Tampa Bay. All right, how about New England, John,

728
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: because now they're in a situation where they don't have

729
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: a quarterback of the future. Are they gonna wait till

730
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: the sixth round again to draft their franchise quarterback or

731
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: do they take someone tonight with a twenty third pick.

732
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what they do for a quarterback.

733
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: Ye have Jameis Winston and Cam Newton out there, Andy

734
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,479
Speaker 1: Dalton's on the play trade block and Cincinnati Jared Stead

735
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: him the rookie last year from Auburn and Baylor. He

736
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: threw five passes Brady through four as a rookie. If

737
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: Belichick decides he's going with Stanham, that's good enough for

738
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: me because everybody thought he was nuts in two thousand

739
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: and one when he went with Brady, and he's got

740
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: to get offensive weapons. He doesn't have any offensive weapons,

741
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: which is one reason Brady left. So they got a

742
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: lot of work to do on offense. They've lost a

743
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of their players on defense, and everybody that's going

744
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: to pick them to win the division, like me, is

745
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: going to do it because of Bill Belichick, not because

746
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: anything else. So I'm waiting to see you do they

747
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll draft a quarterback and have two

748
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: young guys there to go with Brian Horrier. I think

749
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: they're more likely to decide a veteran. I think you'd

750
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: be a great story if Winston or Newton went to

751
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: work with Josh mcdad. Yeah, that'd be a lot of

752
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: fun to see see those either of those quarterbacks go

753
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: to New England. And the Patriots also signed Mark Kisley

754
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: this week. The Jaguars released him, so they got a

755
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: little head start on their wide receivers or right, John,

756
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: are you working on any stories tonight? Another Texans aren't picking,

757
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: but what are you looking for in tonight's draft? Yeah,

758
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing for Texas. All of our stories run on

759
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: Texas Sports Nation. We got a full setup columns. I

760
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: got a column at the end of the first round

761
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: about who's left at the Texans might target in the

762
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: second round. I've got takeaways which I do my opinion

763
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: and when I see five things in the first round

764
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,560
